Yet this, it is claimed, happening through-the process o me in Western Ontario. The regret- table fact that the younger genera- tion are flocking to the cities and towns, and thé lack of adequate means to replace the shrinkage in the numbers of skilled farmers caus- ed by migration, retirement death have brought about the condi- tion, the results of which are. al- ready 6ufficiently obvious to de- mand attention and action. some years the Western tario United Boards of Trade, On- Cent, Essex, Lambton, Elgin, Wellington, Oxford, Middlesex, Bruce aad Norfolk, have given attentiogto certain broad aspects of agriculture. of 157 township clerks having co-operated--| some facts have been secured which, its claimed, not without justifica-| tion, indicate a marked tendency to-| wards reduction in the number of! Western Ontario's skilled agricultur- ists actively engaged in productive work. The farmers of the present generation are, of course, Krowing older and in many instances /arms are growing larger, as the most like- ly purchaser of farm property is the neighboring farmer and the figures which follow show that there is an obvious tendency towards increase of cleared but idle land. The figures secured must be ac- cepted at face value. They are ob- tained from over a hundred indepen-' dent sources and compiled merely | with a view to ascertaining actual conditions. They show that of the farms of the fourteen counties of Western Ontarig, 212,607 acres are known to be gale; farms actual- ly vacant, not incinding those aban- doned as useless for agricultural pur- poses, have together 75,000 perms and | there is reported also 100 ci cleared land in pasture ditalg ae | sary requirements. According to Statistics secured from the Provinc- fal Department of Agriculture's Crop Reports (1922) 100.000 acres in gen eral field crops yields $2,000,000 an- nually. Of course it can quite just- ly be said that an inerease emand for beef cattle would reduce the unproductive land in pasture; that farms offered for sale may be cultivated by the present owners for many years and that increased pro- duction, if the land were fully culti- sincere vie adversely affect the al- r of saviekvare “at present prices for produce of all kinds. These are, of course, circumstances which should not be lost sight of, and are matter owever, the area reported to be for sale, or in vacant f, or in unproductive pasture—with one- pibleehte eee ht bg Py AN ESSAY ON VALUES oh oF eae Pe St ae ae ae a She Shee a a ae Seerrer rer Do You Value Life? It is a gift from God. If you can make nothing by any work that pre- sents itself now, you can at least make yourself. Do You Value Your Talents?

Do You Value Your Character? Our minds are given us but character we make. The mind is the white page, the character the writ- ing we put upon it.

It is rill, a revulet, an ocean and ae joundiess and fathomless as Eternity. Do You Value Your Sight? Avoid reading trashy literature. One's reading is usually a fair index of character. A woman who gives her time to indiscriminate reading, of novels, will be unfitted for the sac- red duties of wife, mother, sister or daughter. There she sits with count- enance Vacant, cheeks pale, staring by the half hour at nothing, biting her finger nails to the quick, when she ought to be busy.

A boy or girls’ best friend is their Mother. Her love is neither chilled by selfishness, nor stifled by ingratitude. Be true to yourself, to God and you cannot be false to any other. Do You Value Your Soul? Our lives are tale that is told.

Barton, M.D, I passed an express dray the other day and was admiring the sturdy horses, when I happened to look at the driver. e@ was an old man with white whiskers, apparently 70 or more yéars of age, but his vigorous com- mands to his horses betokened plenty of physical strength. He looked wiry and strong. It was rather a cold day, and as I looked at his dray load of broom handles, and realized that he would likely have to unload them, I began to feel just a bit ‘sorry for him. Whilst musing thus, I turned to my left, and saw another old, well- friendly game of checkers with the firemen. His gait gave evidence of stiffen- ed limbs, even if they were not in- deed painful. As I looked back at my friend the teamster and heard his sturdy ‘‘whoa" again, somehow or other I did not feel quite so sorry for There he was driving a team in truth, but able to take his part in the world, physically at least. is a real enjoyment of meals, a good digestion, and refresh- = Fagen I coul Id not picture the as really caren as much out of life as he. I don’t think any of us are anxious to see old people forced to work for their living. It gets you a little to see some of these aged fellows trying to wield a shovel or broom on the city streets. But what I haye in mind-is that as the folks grow older, the children, themselves adults, naturally try to lesgen the labour of the old parents. Many a woman and man also have been carried away from their loved umble cottage and given a place of honor in the home of the son and daughter, and told to do nothing but And the result.
