The Farmers’ Chance.

Estimates from Ottawa place
the amount of extra acreage Un-
der cultivation in Canada at 7
per cent over 1917. This would
be'a fair increase in normal times,
but these are abnormal times and
the government's estimates are
disappointing. With so many
people to feed, Canada’s respon-
sibility has increased, The har-
vest this year will not come up
to expectations. The duty of the
farmer is clear—start to plan now
for extra acreage to be put under
cultivation on your farm’ next
