The commersial valce of Marquis wheat has been widely heralded and undoubt&dly it has added millions of dollars annuaily to Canada‘s wealth and status as a wheatâ€"producing counâ€" try, but it is one of the few instances that have been sufficiently spectacular to catch the public eye. | The value of agricuitur&l research as carried out at ggricuitural collegea and experimental farms is seldom _ Agricultural research by both fedâ€" eral and provincial govern:ments along lHines of plant culture and animal breeding, diseases and blights, feeding and so on have undoubtediy added stupendous sums to the farming inâ€" come of this country, much of this work being done without recognition and without appreciation of its econâ€" omic benefits. An excellent example is furnished in a statement recently made by J. K Reyno‘lds, president of the Guelph Agricultural Society in particular refâ€" erence to the work of the Field Husâ€" bandry department of that institution. The one depirtment, aceording to Mr. Reynolds, has been successful in proâ€" ducing, by‘ seigction andâ€"breeding, imâ€" proved strairis of oats,. wheat and barâ€" ley. These improved strains have been broadcast over:<the. province; and:â€"have enabled the farmers to increase the yield‘ per acre in these grains ‘during the last cighteen years by over $134,â€" 000,000.

The @djoctive "heavenly" which tAlows Ain<the ‘mext clauso ‘does not mean. that they were thinking mainly of heaven; they were seeking condiâ€" tions in a country on earth which they belioved were like the personal and ethical conditions of heaven. That‘is to say, they were seeking a better social ‘and political ‘order. A really good political government has been the dream and almost the despair of rightâ€"minded men since orâ€" ganized society began. Whether men ever yet have found it is a question which need not here be discussed. Cerâ€" tain it is that men are less confident than they once wgre that they kpow just how it is to be secured. But of Noah, Abraham, David, Samuel and all the rest of the anclent heroes it is said, "They seek a better country." There were two ways in which they j sought it. Some, like Abraham andi Moses, went out from the country | where they wore, Abraham from Ur;{ of the Chaldees and Moses from! Egypt, and (hey sought to establish in new lands a purer government and: worthier worship. Others, who were, not emigrants, sought to make better . the country where they were. History has shown both kinds of pioneers. The future must produce fewer of the men who go out and more in proportion of those who «stay, where they aro and | seek to make their own country betâ€"‘ ter. The Mayflower and the covered wagon both belong to the past, but th&l spirit thaft in them<»moved westward with The siuin sttll must ind expression | among people to wpom new lands are’t no longer possible. , The hope of a better country and a betier wor‘ld is ong that has inspired, both men and women to deeds of valor, and the faith that this could beâ€" was a direct product of religious Yaith. God is the greatest of all adventurers; | the first and most fearless of all p%on-; eers. The urge and initiative toward * better things, the faith, spite of all human failures, that men apd mations | can live worthily and happily on this! planet, are part of that cosmic impulse | which prophetic souls define as Xu-i spiration from God..

The Duke of Richâ€" mond was appointed Governorâ€"inChief of the Canafas, Lower and Upper, in 1818, and took up his residence in Lower Canada in July of that year. It was during the following year, 1819, while on an official tour of inspection of the Upper province and while visiiâ€" ing the newly surveyed lands allotted to soldier setilers, among which was the seitliement of KHichmond named in his honor, that his death took place unâ€" der tragic cireumstances.. An I.nlecepd wound of the hand caused by the bite of aâ€"pet fox and aggravated by the hot weather and rough journeying caused him so much suffering that his attendâ€" ants inportuned him to rest at Richâ€" mond when that settlement had been reached. He made a determined efâ€" fort to push forward, however, and af: ter going a short disiance was obliged to seek reet in the home of a sattler where he died in great agony within a few hours. * The tablet commemorating the hunâ€" dredth auniversary of the beginning of the Rideau canal, in September, 1826, under the dirgction of Col.

No matiter how Aerce the cconomic pressure, how widespread unemployment and distress, no proâ€" wressive nation deliberately promotes popu‘ation. . There is, on the contrary, a keen appreciation of the pogential value to the state Of theâ€"vital asset, and nations will go to almost any longths and incur the most fantastic expenditure on rolief, to preserve this precious asset intact during periods of economic stress, in the hope of the unâ€" employed population being ultimately absorbed in gainful production. THE SENSE OF HUMAN VALUES We in Canada lack almost competeâ€" ty this sense of human values. * We sit idly by while three hundred million dolars worth of dur productive citiâ€" zons, the ftowe; of the nation, move across the boundary each year. Even the problem of their replacement gives comparatively small concern. For a country with our fabu‘ous, undevelopâ€" ed resources, it scems zn amazingly unintelligent attitude of mind. . The colonization problem in Canada is not in any sense a class probfem. Every citizen, irrespective of cccupation, has a direct financia! interest in it« efecâ€" tive solution. If every class of the community wou‘ld intelligently study the effect of an increased producing popu‘ation npon its own fortunes, we would speedilv creats a favorable mass opinion on this subject. + Once to cÂ¥ery man and â€" â€"the moment to de In the st If anger proceeds from a great cause, it turns to fury ; if from a amail cause, it is peevishness; and so is alâ€" ways, either terrible or ridiculous. â€"Jeremy Taylor, > for the good or ev Some great cavrso, God4‘s effering:efach che + Parts the goats npon th> "\â€"‘"the sheep upor t} ‘_W the cholee gocs by O O thet darloress &n e e ie 0 S Accepting Prof. Irving Fisher‘s esâ€" rratio Fame BY CHABRLES W.
