one Of the seasons. Winter fingered and st0rmed
and frowned till the 2lst of May, when Summer at
once succeeded it, March left us last week, and
now We are in the midst of june Of course farm
ers are busy as they can be, from the Ottawa to
the Everglades, and even the icy covering of Lake
Superior, which was firm at our last advices, has
doubtless succumbed to the fervid influence of the
last four days. The frost and snow of the late
severe Winter, which were present and potent
within week throughout the mountain wales and
higher tablelands Of our Northern and Eastern
States, have beaten a basty retreat to the lofty
glens of the Rocky Mountains and the shores OF
Hudson's Bay. The change is all but magical
nay, better than magical-t is Providential. One
week since, our farmers were despondently Won
dering if the planting season would er@ come.
Now except on marsby, wet lands, the husbandman
could not ask for influences more genial, more In
yitng. "Winter," says an Italian proverb,
81 never rots in the sky" Let us gratefully rejoice
that Summer is equally constant, and that SEED
time and harvest, though sometimes restncted'
never absolutely fail.
Let us once more, at the risk of being ia'rusi'e'
urge the farmers everywhere to plo"' onu 81" ~
the extent of their ability. IL were oe''o'' Vi
oon,sa 70 have been to plant earlier; there IS
mn douh+ 9 FISK of frost in planting corn in June;
out better risk of frost than the certainty of no
harvest at all Indian corn, on rich, warm land,
often natures within hundred days-that is to
say, between the 10th Of June and the goth of Sep
TENDER, which is as early as we need anticipate
killing frost unless in some Northern valleys. Car
rots, Bagas and Beets, yielding large
amount of food for man or beast to the deeply,
thoroughly plowed, wen-managed and wel-tilled
acre, are still in ample season. Let every farmer
resolve, not to run over more acres, half preparing
them to receive the seed and then half tilng them,
but to plant and SOW so long he can do so with
reasonable hope Of fair harvests putting in buck
wheat and round turnips when it is too late to SOW
anything else. Since the Spring of 1917, there
probably has not been 80 complete dearth OF food
in the hands of growers throughout threefourths of
the Union as there is this day; while large por-
ton of our people appear to have gone mad with
land speculation and not likely to recover in sea
son TO make crop this year. Minnesota and Kan
sas. which are all but unequaed in natural fertility,
will hardly grow their own bread, and certainly
will not produce their own food, this year; Iowa
and Wisconsin will hardly do more than feed their
own people including the Thousands now moving
thther to share their natural blessings. We hope
TO hear from day to day that the young crops look
better and better; but much Wheat is winter
killed so that the best weather cannot revive it.
Let the farmers do their best and the season be
propitous it is hardly possible to grow this year a
superabundance of food.
And YOU. Sir who have been hanging about this
or some other City for weeks or months, looking
for clerksbp, or place as porter, or IN some such
capacity. be entreated to go out among the farmers
and ask one after another to set you to work

ton; it will be poorer and poorer henceiorth I'LL
September. Do not cling to these sllstenlng, fe-
yerish pavements and repne that you can md
nothing to do when Nature loudly calls you 70

of YOU persist in not needing, herdng and crowdmg

are sure to need next Winter, if you do not now.
Do not stand copjuring up excuses for remaining;
do not ask some one TO pay your way 10 some
where else; but set your face westward or north
ward and travel on foot, until you by inquiry find
some one who will give you bread for work; and
unless you are exceedingly incapable or ih-favored,
YOU need not travel far. Secure first an opportu-
nity to show what you can do; appreciation and
wages will soon follow your demonstration that you
deserve them. Man, woman or child, now idle and
needy in city, we e1hort you to quit looking Tor
work where work is not and cannot be, but go
.orth into the fields
