Sir Robert spoke of the recog nition accorded that valor by the al- lies and of the strong testimony given him of the splendid conduct of Can- ada’s soldier son; both in England and at the front.

The Premie: was received with tremendous enthugiasm which grew Canada’s Soldiers Have Won Im- perishable Glory “Canada,” said Sir Robert, “has done her part and must continue to do so until the end. We have sent overseas more than 83,000 men. When those now under orders depart, Can- ada will have sent to the front more than Britain sent out to the Crimea. We have also estabiished in Great Brit ain France and the Dardanelles sixteen Canadian . Spitals i‘or ail the forces of the Empire.

Sir tobert paid a tribute to the Can- adians who had given their lives for the Empire. If Canada ever forgot the men who saved the day for the allies at Ypres, she should cease to exist. He described his visit to the trenches and the training in artillery work and other features of trench warfare as carried out by the Canadians. Speak- ing of his visit to the Princes Pat- ricia’s Regiment, he said: “We saw in the faces of these men the same de- termination we had seen in those of the rest of the Canadians. Man F'or Man Are Better “Let me speak,” said the Premier, “of what the record of a year means to us as far as this war is concerned. I do not doubt that we fail to have a just idea of the strength of the two nations arrayed against us. Consider the power that can be wielded by a nation that has for fifty years been subjected to an organization that was built to prepare for this war. It will not do for us to make our men take the place of artillery and machine guns. They must fight on equal terms. I know that. man for man, they are the match and perhaps a little more than a match for the men against whom we are sending them. (Cheers). “We have had to pay for our lack of preparation. I am disposed to think this lack of preparation is in- herent to the form of government we love. The only question we have to consider is whether we are giving our men fair play at the front. "We in Canada. have done our duty fairly well. During my visit abroad I found many more effective ways of cooperating with the British Govern- ment than we had before. Our sol- diets have fought beside the best in France and England, and I want to say there is in both countries a tre- mendous appreciation of what they have done. I have that message for you from His Majesty the King, from the President of France, from General Joffre and Sir John French. No Time For Criticism “This is no time for criticism or lamentation over what mistakes may have been made in the past. This is the time for determination to go forward. “'0 shall watch the achieve- ments of our men and the memory of those achievements already per- formed will remain in our hearts al- ways. There is no need we should raise any monument. In time to come it may be the desire to raise in the capital of our Dominion a memorial to the men who have made the su- preme sacrifice for Canada and the Empire and the memory of those who come back. It is my hope and my intention as well that those who have been maimed and wounded in this war shall be taken care of as the peeple of Canada would have them cared for.

Ife said it would assist materially in stabiliz- ing exchange conditions between America and Europe. Considering the credit of Great Britain and France and the terns 0:1 nhich before the war they could obtain loans in their own markets the rate of interest and commission might seem high by comparison but in his opinion the loan had been negotiated upon a basis as fair as could be expected having re- gard to war conditions and the fact that it was being obtained in a foreign country. “This is no time,” he said, “to un- duly haggle over eighths and six- teenths and other vulgar fractions. The main thing is to get the money and the Commission have got it.” ' H ow Canada Benefits Asked if it was true that the pro- ceeds of the loan would all have to be spent in United States Mr. White said that the official statement so in- dicated. He said the American bank- ers purchasing the securities had no doubt insisted that as the loan was being made by United States the money should be spent there. In- directly, however, Canada would de- rive an advantage from the loan by reason of its beneficial effect upon sterling exchange. New York is Can- ada's international exchange centre and any improvements in sterling ex- change rat-3:; will be for our benefit as well as that of United States. The export movement of our crop, food products and manufactures is financed by the sale of sterling bills in New York and the price obtained for them has an important bearing upon the price obtaized by our producers and manufacturers.

In the dairy section of Illinois and in a number of other localities through- out the country the corn crop is below normal. and many fax-mom would be in a serious predicament but for the amazing success of alfalfa. At corn planting time last year the weather in Illinois was cold and wet. delaying work and giving the crop a poor start. but in the line weather of April, three or four weeks before any- body would dare put in corn, altalfa was growing vigorously. It came through the winter in good condition, and the yield of hay has been tar the heaviest ever obtained from the alfalfa fields of the northwest. In hundreds of individual cases a1. talfa makes up for the deficiency in corn, so that farmers will be able to feed their cattle to advantage. It goes without saying that alfalfa has come into high favor all over the north, and farmers are learning all they can about the crop. This legume ought to net $50 to $75 an acre Where it is cut three times in a season. The return is $75 to $100 an acre in southern latitudes, where the crop is cut five or six times. Most of the arguments for growing alfalfa are based on the plan of feed- ing the crop to dairy cows at home. There is another side to this. Hamlet Worker of Onondaga county, N. Y., sells the hay and cuts out the work of running a dairy. He has sold his cows. His thirty-five acres of alfalfa this year gave five tons of hay per acre, for which he has received an av- erage of $10 a ton. Perhaps his work on the hay represents two months of actual labor, whereas when he fed his crop to dairy cattle he worked from daylight till dark the year round, and seven days in the week. He claims the All along the limestone soils in cen- tral New York alfalfa is working farm miracles. Wherever its culture he- comes general all crops improve, land 'alues rise, incomes increase and pros- perity attends the farm. One-half pound more of butter and one pound more of beef for each household in the» middle west is a possibility if only three-tenths of the land now in grass were given over to alfalfa. The pro- tein in alfalfa hay is substantially as great as that from bran in feeding ra- dairy never showed more net profit for a year than does this crop of thirty- five acres of alfalfa. tion. Alfalfa ranges in price from $15 to $25 a ton, but after all it pays to feed it up as closely as possible to dairy and beef cattle on the farm. Whether sent to market or consumed at home, it has become established as one of the greatest of the money mak- ing products and in many cases is solv- ing the Whole problem of farm finances. The yield of four to six tons per acre is a common experience all over the country where modern methods are em- ployed in raising the crop. At minimum market prices this means a money val- ue above that of corn, when compared acre for acre. The first step to insure success of a1- falfa is to provide a good seed bed. For this purpose it is well to choose land on which corn. sugar beets. pota- toes or other cultivated crops have been grown. Through*the cultivation of these crops the land is clean from weeds and usually works down to a mellow seed bed. The field should be plowed deeply in the fall, so that the soil may be exposed to frost and thaws during winter, and eight or ten tons of manure per acre should be used. In the spring the land is to be disked and harrowed. Then there should be ob- tained a quantity of soil where alfalfa or sweet clover has been grown. This soil contains suitable bacteria. In oth- er words, it is inoculated. This in- oculated soil should be scattered over the surface in quantities of about 500 pounds per acre. It must be harrowed in at once, as sunlight is deadly to bac- terial life. The field is then ready for seeding, and it will pay to drill in with the seed 400 pounds per acre of a fer- tilizer analyzing 2 per cent ammonia, 12 per cent available phosphoric acid and 2 per ceent potash. Twenty pounds of seed is a liberal supply. Less may do, and the farmer. if satis- fied with his soi-l. may cut out the com- mercial fertilizer. It is assumed that the land has been limed or is sweet enough for leguminous crops. If there is sourness apply 2.000 pounds of lime. Spring seeding of alfalfa is generally favored Cut the crop when blooming begins. In order to save the leaves the hay should be raked up soon after cutting and cured in cocks. In starting out with alfalfa look for the seed of hardy varieties, and do not use soggy A FIELD OF YOUNG ALFALFA. Washing soda’ should not be used on china, it will :take off the gilt.
