From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
Sound, clean, healthy seed is the
first requisite for the largely Increased
wheat crop which the United States
department of agriculture hopes to see
harvested next year. Whatever the
source Of supply, farmers will find 1t
to their advantage. says the depart
ment, to see that only good seed Is
planted. What has been said Is
equally true of seed for the rye crop
which the department hopes to see
much larger than usual next year.
If a farmer has seed from his own
crop which is satisfactory so far as
variety and general condition are con-
cerned, he should lose no time In get
ting it into shape for storage until
planting time. The tanning mill Is the
farmers best friend in this task. The
farmer by all means should have such
q mill, and If he has not and is unable
to obtain one, should borrow or rent
his neighbours mill, or several farmers
can join in buying one. A tanning mill
removes weed seeds, smut and shriv-
eled grain and leaves only plump ker-
nels, practically every n of which
may be depended upon to produce a
thrifty plant. After 1t Is cleaned, how
ever, the seed should be treated In or
der that the smut may be prevented
Scab is more likely to be prevented by
seed treatment. but the use of the fan
ming mill will assist materially In I'M
proving the crop grown from seed
known to have contained scabby ker'
nels.

But we in this country should never
run away with the idea that any one
man in Russia is the sole savior of
that country. Russia is not a one
man rountry, and never again will be.
Should there befall Mr.. Kerensky any
such disaster as all hope and pray he
may escape, there would still be plen-

ruling factor in Russia is the popular
will. Barring the contingency that
l have already mentioned, there never
will be any other power in Russia but

Voluntary recruiting is a thing of
the past Canada has no great wealth
of man power Eight million people
is her top. Already the 100000 men
who so freely gave themselves to
service have seriously tightened the
labor market in places. Farmers are
in straits for help. In many cities
clerks and municipal employees are
given half holidays from their regu
lar employment in order that they
may go into the fields. This shortage
is emphasized by the anti-conscrip-
tionists. Conservatives declare there
are hundreds of 'slackers" in the
cities who could be spared and assert
that these are the men they want to
get to under the law
Intricate as is this problem alone,
it is intermixed with the racial ques-
ton, an alien enemy tangle, a tre-
mendously difficult financial situation,
involving the naturalization of 1000
miles of railroad and millions of dol
lars in advances to others, and a line
of hOary but still virulent political
animosities which, stirred together,
oyer the Canadian voter a political
salad unlike anything in his previous
political experience.
The next few weeks will see stirring
times across the border.
