SM TH ¢& SONS, _ ilers, Durl For good, practical advice upon how to lay out and cultivate a Vegetable CGarden, write for a free copy of the booklet entitled: "A Vegetable Garâ€" den for Every Home." This has been prepared by the Ontario Departâ€" ment of Agriculture for the guidance of citizens who will respond to this call for increased production. Not spiritually (although even the penalty of remorse may follow your neglect of this national warnâ€" ing) but ye shall hunger in the trying physical sense in which hunger now grips the peoples of Europe. We know "it is difficult to talk to the belly which hath no ears," and it is just as difficult to persuade a person who has a full dinner beâ€" fore him toâ€"day that he may want for food next month. But you may as well let this fact sink into your mind â€"thke last people that Canada and the United States will allow to suffer for want of food are our fighting men, and if a sufficient exportable surplus of food cannot be raised and saved by voluntary efforts, then very drastic rationing measures will be enforced. It may astonish you to learn that in 1917 Ontario did not grow enough wheat for its own needs. Conseâ€" quently every Ontario farmer MAY 2, 1918 CNTARIQ "Woe unto you that are full, for ye shall hunger." The Ford truck is supglied as a chassis onlfr. This perâ€" mits you to select any of the many body styles especially designed for the Ford truck and already on the market. Thus you can mount the one which suits your individual requirements. Price $750 f.0.b. Ford, Ont. The Ford Oneâ€"Ton truck is a rapid, economical and very serviceable means of transg)ort. One of these on your farm will save you weeks of time in a single season and will enable you to pass through a crisis of lafi)or shortâ€" age with less difficulty. FARM equigment which will effect a time and laborâ€" saving, and therefore a moneyâ€"saving, must be careâ€" fully considered by every good farmer nowâ€"aâ€"days. The farm wagon, which for Ksars was the most useful of all farm equipment, is now being replaced on the best farms by a sturdy, dependable motor truck. The truck will haul any farm productâ€"fruit, grain, vegetables, stock, fertilizer, or woodâ€"around the farm, or to the town or city many miles distant, in half the time, and at a much lower cost. ruck for the Farmer Please send me a copy of your booklet Vegetable Garden for Every Home." Organization of Resources Committee, C . Parliament Buildings, Toronto feed our own people, and leave more Westesrn wheat and other foods available for export. If you have not yet dec‘ded to plant a vegetable garden make up your mind to do so now. Youwill not regret it. There is still lots of time. Potatoes and beans may be planted up to June 1st and these are the best substitutes for wheat and meat. whose land is suitable, has been urged to sow 5 acres more spring wheat this year so that Ontario‘s demand for wheat shall not be met at the expense of that portion of the Western crop that should more rightfully be shipped overseas. For this same reason every houseâ€" holder who has a garden or a piece of vacant land is being urged to grow vegetables, because the more vegetables that are grown and eaten in Ontario, the less wheat and meat there will be consumed, and that being so, the Ontario wheat crop should then be sufficient to Luke 6: 25. CNTARIQ I saw a few of the 4th C M. R‘s., formerly 147th boys, also on leave in England. One of them, a Sergeant, told me that Clarence Darling was unfortunâ€" ite enough to have both legs amputated but 1 hope this report is untrue. Edinburgh <with its historic back sround, retains all its charms. . Prinâ€" cess street and the wellâ€"known Gardens are as interesting and beautiful as ever. I had the pleasure of seeing Will Campbell and Capt. (Dr.) Chas. Farquâ€" harson at Londonderry House Hospital in Park Lane where Will is a patient. Chas. who was visiting him the same tme. is on the staff of the Red Cross Hospital at Taplow and is looking exâ€" ceedingly well. Wiil is improving niceâ€" ly and should soon be able to dispense with the two canes he uses to navigate about with.. His right eye and temple which were crushed in by the mishep are conforming to natural shape slowly Few aviators have been so lucky as he and you may be sure he is having an ad gurablc time while convalescing in Lonâ€" on. we were at his mercy. Antrair craft fire soon made it too hot for him and he moved off. The journey across the channels was made in 1} hours and we saw numerous destroyers patrolling the waters. London was reached at twiâ€" light. h After a spell in France, Blighty looks | better than ever and you will see new charms every hour, which did not exist before. At ieast it was so in my case. 1 was up the line when word about my leave to England came to me. It was evening but 1 did not hesitate to depart to Heaugquarters which was five miles to the rear, 1t took me two days from that hour to reach England and even in those 48 hours there were thrills. \As l left the bactiefield, Fritz started his evening torrent of gas shells, but I evaded them. Next day at a French town when I enâ€". trained for the coast, the enemy had ‘ his longâ€"range guns active and he bomâ€" barded the town for 3 hours, Then the following day, just as the boat was on the point of lifting anchor an enemy aeroplane appeared overhead. It was not a bomber but merely a scout, sight secing. If it had been a bombing plane, | People here restrain from speaking too much on war topics They mostly avoid the pessimistic strain and work their feelings off on damning the Food Controiler and his system of rationing food, Almost all foods, except bread, is served in ounces and the «allowance per head is considerably smalier than in preâ€"war days. Sugar is worth its weight in gold and one cannot buy it in restaurâ€" ants. Drinking tea about 10 times per ’day is an old English custom and it is taking a long time to die. If you are in | a restaurant, it 18 curious to observe, | ladies take a couple lumps of sugar from | their handbag and drop it into their tea | Yes, sugar and silver are carried in the | same receptacle, and one is as precious | as the other. Here is a scale of allowâ€" f ances, per head per week, tor rationed : articles : _ Sugarâ€"8 ounces. _ Butter or margarineâ€"4 ounces _ l Meatâ€"8 ounces (when you can get it.) Teaâ€"1$ ounces. Cheese and bacon are hard to secure and wiil be also rationed soon. l It is wonderful to watch the spirit disâ€" played by the people in Great Britain ' during this great struggle. Never in the history of the race have they been lso stoical, calm and confident in the | ability of their army and its leaders as toâ€"day. The vaporings of parliamentary ‘ tongues and the noisy meetings of peace cranks are not typical of the people‘s } spirit and it takes a crisis such as exists toâ€"day to show that traditions of the past are not being wasted. The peopie have sacrificed and suffered and are preâ€" pared to do so still to have a victory for civilization against the disintegrination of our national life and Christianity, They fear, but are not afraid. 1 have been in London, Edinburgh and Bristol and everywhere remains that steadfast calm, awaiting a more favorable verdict to our arms and knowing that every day the Kaiser continues to hurl his legions into the vortex of death, that so much sooner success wili crown our efforts. We know that the people at home in colonies and allied countries will bear similar feelings, waiting and praying for the day of cessation of strife and the day ot victory. The Canadians are not as yet in the gigantic battleâ€"at least they have not been mentioned in the despatches. But they will not be long out of it. It isn‘t their nature to be out of a big scrap If the Germans get Amiens and Doullens, it means probably the retirement of the Canadians from Vimy Ridge and Hill 70 to keep the alignment of the forces But we feel certain the line will hold tbefore those two important centres are reached and then the Huns can look out for the devil.. But my leave has been marred and is not as restful as one could wish. When l left France on the 18th inst, all was quiet in the figurative sense of battle language. Three days later hell broke loose when the German hordes swarmâ€" ed westward for their great oftensive. The day after that all leave from France was stopped tight. So I was lucky to get away. Several boys on leave from France received telegrams ordering their immediate return to duty. 1 saw some tear them up. In one sense l don‘t blame them, do you ? They had earned their leave. No telegram has reached me yet so 1 intend to take my full time, and then the change from Blissful Blighty to Frightful France will be as from Heaven to Hell. I fully ‘ realize what there is to face. Bristol, England, March 28, 1918, Dear Father,â€" At present l am cnjojying that wonderâ€" ful thing known as "Blighty Leave" and the change from the grey life of the trenches to a rest in England is a most appreciable one. All the boys will teli you that a real bed and real meals and a brief return to the old way of living in addition to the sight of an English face and English smile, fills a void created by: the terrible life in France. \ Pte.
