In spite of the fact that we think we are a democracy and that our govern- ment is of the people, by the people, that most of us do not know very There is a great ignorance of such matters as: . 1. How we are governed. 2. What are the principles for which the old Tine parties stand. 3, What are the reasons for such parties as: "Independents" "Labor" and "Farmer." 4. What is our' relation to Great Britain in matters of self-govern- ment ? N * 5. Is Canada profitable to Britain? 6. What are the arguments in| favor of "Free Trade" and "Protec- tion?" 7. Who may vote in Municipal, Provincial and Federal elections? - Is there any difference in any of the provinces as to these matters? 8. Is there need for restriction re- garding immigration ? ~9. Canada's coal problem and how to meet it, 9. Rural depopulation; can it be stopped ? These are just a few of the mat- ers about which Canadians should | our country is tb be well governed w that practically every adult has vote.

Canada must and will come, with .equal honour, through the troublous times of post-war adjustment. The only question is; will all of us help-- or some of us hinder, by pessimism, apathy, or elass jealously? To the Canadian farmer this ques- tion comes with a pecular force. Agriculture must be the economic balance wheel of this or any nation. It is an ofecupation where nature herself * demands energy, courage, economy, and efliciency. These sturdy qualities radiate from our farms to industries in other walks of life, where so many leaders were country born and bred. The farm home and farm life as the source of what has been and is the strongest and truest in our na- tional character is interwoven. with the history of Canada from its in- fancy. The settlers on the shores of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, toiling to clear a patch of forest and sowing their grain among the stumps; Hebert and the pioneers of New France, fighting Indians, endur- ing privations, wresting merely a rude living from their small clear- ings, but full of faith in the future, if not from-them then for generations vet to come; the men who rescued Upper Canada from the wilderness; the Red River colonists, who; after two years of complete destruction of their crops, sent a party to the Mis- sissippi for seed grain for the next year and won! These men made pos- sible the Canada of to-gay. : The farmers of Canada, then, have a rich history and a noble tradition to live up to «.Upon them Canada's progress has always, in the main, de- pended; upon them it will always, in _the main, depend. What, then, is necessary for the farmers of to-day? Simply the ap- plication of these qualities we have referred to--energy, courage, econ- omy and efficiency, and under pre- snt-day conditions the return is sure and speedy. A very high per- and paid for in the farmer's own lifetime. For the present and future generations ther is exactly the same opportunity. True, with each gen- eration, and perhaps oftener, we may have to change our type of ¢rops to meet changing market re- quirements, but surely that is. a trifling task compared with that of those who had to establish them- selves in a new country, create their fa.m, their community, their mar- kets, and their civilization. + During the war years, the farmer, like most others, became unreason- ably 'optimistic. As in other indus- tries, he over-capitalized, tied up too much money in extravagant buildings and expensive machinery, bought tractors to get the crops in more quickly and easily, without consider- ing whether the actual earning power of these warranted the investment. With the depression, which has fol- lowed, this over-expension has been a serious burden and has shaken the faith of some in ultimate success. We must get back the indomitable courage and untiring effort of Can- ada's early days. The farmer must remember that in the last analysis he is infinitely better off than the wage-earner of the city. True, his cash income may sometimes be small, buf he can, at the very worst, gain his living from the soil, while in the | city the larger wage soon melts away in. paying for things which on the The farm products are necessities of life | and must always command a market. 'The products of city industries must] Fs often create their: market and their| s subject to wide fluctuations. heavy rains has put the soil in a condition that it has not been in at this time of the year since 1916; the farmers are consequently very jubi- lant and if optimism could pay debts the farmers of Southern Alberta could by next fall cancel our Na- tional Debt." 3 ----------() (Qe: REACH COUNCIL | __Met at Manchester, on Friday, July 14th, at 1 o'clock pursuant to ad- journment, All members present.

Mrs. Christie witnessed the tragedy from a window of her house, Coroner S. J. Mellow, of Port Perry, was sum- moned, but' decided that an inquest was unnecessary. No blame was attached to the driver.

Motherwell) ~An effort has been made, "by Not altogether disinterestetl parties, to belittle the net results of the session of Parliament. Speaking more particularly respect to agriculture, I may that I cannot recall any Session of Parliament since Confederation that passed more beneficial legislation on behalf of agriculture than the recently prorogued. True, five months was a 'long time to spend in forming the work but that is one of the prices we must pay for groups in Parliament, all of whom have to have their say. A number of Acts have been pe seed such as "An Act to amend and con- solidate the Acts respecting Live Stock" and "An Act w regulate the sale and inspection of Fruit and Fruit " which can be merely re- ferred to here as certain very import- ant and up-to-date legislation in their respective fields, The same may be said of the amendments to Feed- ings Stuffs Act and the Dairy, Indus- try Act, the latter of which provides for the prohibition of the manufact- ure and importation of filled butter, filled milk' and filled cream-----three pernicious practices that were quietly but persistently establishing a foot- hold in Canada to the great detriment of the dairy industry. In addition to this important legis- lation affecting one of our chief corner stones of Canadian agricul- ture--dairying---was the. fight to a finish during the last session on the question of whether the prohibition of the manufacture and importation oft Oleo. would be again reverted to, as it existed for thirty years prior to 1917. By a non-part vote of 54 to 126 Oleo,, for the time being, re- ceived a solar plexus blow that will take some recovering from.
