of Macdonald. College of McGill Uni

Chief Forester Pinchot were given de

Secretary Wilson spoke from the view
point of the farmer. He said it was
necessary that life on the farm should
be made with less struggle, in order
that the farmers existence might be
made more attractive. This condition,
he declared, could only result from
the education Of the agriculturist; the
need Of such education, he declared,
was pressing. He said: sAll people
under your flag and ours till the soil
for livelihood. They are not the gov.
erning class in either country, but they
hold the balance Of power atsthe ballot
box. The opinion grows upon me that
well informed farmers would make

would be with the people, their inti
