Readers of the newspapers’ ‘and
followers of the course of the:war
must jong ago have become con-
vineed that the situation grows
more and more intense and criti-

gal day by day. Great Britain is

‘faced not alone by outside. en-
‘emies, but by iabor troubles ‘and
‘by a lack of those immense in-
ternal resources in the matter of
‘food production that Germany
‘and Austria-Hungary possess.
‘She cannot feed herself, and is
.compelied to rely largely on other
‘countries for a supply of. the
necessaries of life. In such case
the duty of her children is dis-
tinetly plain. It is noteworthy

of her enemies that they are not |.

only thoroughly united but that
‘they are enduring with what

fortitude they possess. the rigid

‘military -enforcements. that are

“Blaced upon them for the conser- |.

vation both of food and material.

the people, and to the farmers,

lar, the Patriotism and Produe-
tion movement that isin progress
is blowing its bugle, or, in. other
words, carrying its message. Its
object is to rouse all and. sundry
tu the part they are called’ upon
to play. That part does not of
necessity mean harder. work, nor
increased acreage; but it does im-
ply the exercise of every faculty
in attention and vigilance. It does
imply in order to secure increas-
ed and improved production, by
which ‘alone cultivators of the

the greatest care in thé selection
