present emergency but for some time after peace, shall have come both our own people and 8 large proportion of the people of Europe must rely upon the harvests in America.
 Boy Scouts Already At Work. "In response to this edict. of the President, it is. clearly the function of all who can to transform quickly our words and theories into action in the form of labor, seed fertilizer and food products,' said Professor Benson.
 ''The National Boy Scout officials have set an example worthy of emula- ton in their dealing with the scout officials and the scouts. While many have been talking and getting ready to start, they. have started. They sent a proclamation to every scout official asking that they change their pro gram completely for the coming sum- mer-change from hiking and camp ing to food production and food con- servation. They have adopted the slogan. Every scout feed a soldier In like manner would advise the girl scouts to take as their slogan, Every scout feed a nurse.'"
 It was significant fact that as Pro- lessor Benson was thus emphatically stating the case the Boy Scouts of

tical farmer directed the would-be ing the producers to get farm ma chinery, fertilizers, seed and correct instructions on tillage and crop man agement, as we'll as to get a fair price for the1r products by proper distribu- tion and markets.
 Conserve The Cities. Waste.
 'Other measures advised at the mayors meeting referred to the con- servation of the cities waste through garbage. Every town and city might quickly secure the services of an idle farm or piece of ground in close proximity to the city to be used as a garbage plant. Upon this farm idle labor should be used. Green feeds and cereal crops should be grown. It should be well stocked with poultry and hogs for the purpose of using up all edible garbage. By the comb mbination of these three|idle land idle labor. the wasting garbage trans ferred into net profit-a great serv- lice would be rendered to each city and to the nation"
 Further advice given to the mayors at the New York meeting was to make a survey of all idle land within the cities. also nearby available tillable land not in use. which could be reached by the labor of the city.
 Put it to work at once,"H said Pro- lessor Benson. Make it a contest a real game-to see what individual can show the greatest achievement in food production and food conservation during the year. At the close of the year, or at the close of the season, the city might hold an Achievement Day l with a program in honor of it's Com missary Departm ent and decorate ev- cry individual who has come through | finished the job and rendered a real service to the nation, not with an iron cross but with a medal distinctively

to Professor Benson that while many a householder desired to prove his patriotism by becoming member of Americas Army of the Commissary to the extent of planting his backyard in food products he. might lack. concrete knowledge of the>cost of such an un- dertaking and the approximate re- turns: s-- X. Backyard Garden Worth While.
 & 'The cost of starting the average backyard garden is mainly one of time and tillage, and the results are, gen orally comm ensurate with the amount of e1bow7grease invested in the gar den," was the reply. Many of our one-tenth acre gardens have. been made to yield a profit of a hundred dollars, when conducted on strictly business-like basis, and by the utiliza- tion of all odds and ends of time avail able to the average man or woman.
 This means no waste. of time or space. making the very best use of the land and growing a succession of crops, and implies the production of a 1 spring garden, summer garden. a fall garden, as well as what call a winter garden, created by means of canning the surplus supplies
 In response to a question as to what can best be grown in a small garden Professor Benson said that this must be determined largely by soil. locality and climate. He men toned as the spring vegetables most needed and most profitable as crops, onions, radishes and lettuce; while the summer vegetables most practic- ably cultivated in the small back gar dens are tomatoes, green peas, beans,
 beets, carrots, cabbage. cau1ifower,
 parsnips, summer squash, Irish and ! sweet potatoes, sweet corn, eggplant
 cucumber, Swiss chard, French en- dive. Fall vegetables include late tomatoes. late potatoes, late peas, Hubbard squash, tuber vegetab bles. tur- fnips. kale. spinach. parsley. late sweet corn.
 Amounts of seed of different vege- 1 tables suggested for family of four and planting approximately 100< feet of row, are given by the Office of the States Relations Service as follows: Snap beans. pint: lima beans, F pint: early or late cabbage. F ounce;

invalided home. He was. fine ap- bearing Englishman and he made a forceful speech. urging his hearers to join the colors.
 When I left the other side,'' he began, 'tthe last thing the boys in the trenches said to me Tell the boys at home to come over and help us.' The need at the front is for men, men and more men! You chaps here must help those who are there doing the fighting. Come with us." For several minutes he pleaded. Then he stopped, walked the length of the platform and back.
 Because I'm here there's one man short in the Canadian army,' he shouted. "I want a man to take my place. Who will come forward? Who will volunteer to lift to the breeze the glorious flag I can no longer carry?"
 There was silence for what seemed to be a minute. There was rustic midway in the hall and young man walked to the stage. He had volun- teered to don the khaki. Others fol- lowed until 20 men were lined up. No more were to be had so the band played God Save the King" and the meeting was over.
 The activity of the recruiting off, cers on the streets is such that few young men escape being accosted. Some of them have resented being called slackers and have struck the officers only to be arrested and fined, the judges holding that any soldier has right to ask any citizen why he IS not serving his country.
 No Time Lost After Enlisting.
 For the man who says he will en- list there is real action. He is escort ed to headquarters immediately and the headquarters are ready, too. In

the District of Columbia were march ing through the streets of Washington, two thousand strong, with spades and rakes and hoes over their shoulders, to do their part in converting the 300- acre golf course recently laid out in Potomac Park into a forage plant for feeding their elder comrades in the National Guard.
 "A Sundays program of all churches and Sunday Schools should be de- voted to the subject of food produc- ton and food conservation" said Pro- lessor Benson, with the newspapers. farm journals and agricultural books and circulars furnishing the subject matter source of good theology for a days work of teaching and preaching. Every idle man should be put to work in some. definite form of productive service Make us all feed or fight. Loafers on the street corners and the idle rich should be put to work-by corscription if necessary-in the Com- missary Army.
 "I advised the mayors at the New York meeting to establish in every city at once a, farm labor bureau and to connect all the available labor of the city up with the farm, idle land and vacant lots; seeing to it that prac-

American, significant of the national service rendered as patriot and sol d1er of the commissary.'
 Tn anticipation of the adoption of th1s idea which met with general ap- proval Professor. SBenson produced a sketch of a Patriots Achievement" medal, which he had been asked by the members of the convention to de- slgn, and which it is likely may be adopted in some cities In this con- nection the agriculturist, suggested to the mayors that the city making the best use of all it's idle land, garbage, loafers and other resources should erect on public square, or in a park an appropriate monument significant of the city's great work in it's hour of need f.+
 Our Patriotism Questioned.
 "In this way,'' said Professor Ben son, "a city would give. concrete and eloquent expression to prove that we believe with President Wilson that The men and women who devote their thought and their. energy to farms. shipyards, mines and in our. factories will be serving the country and con- ducting the fight for peace and free dom just as, truly and efficiently as the men in the trenches. The indus trial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a great national | la great international-servi army, a notable and honored host engaged in the service of the e/nation and the world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere.'
 l Our patriotism may we'll be ques- ltioned if~we allow our backyards, va cant lots or other tillab1e farm land to lie idle without putting it to work ourselves or offering it for use to oth- i CTS who are. willing to produce" de clared Professor Benson. And it is l interesting to know that this busy scientific agriculturist practices rigor- ously what he breaches, and in his own city backyard in Washington, he has. season after season. raised a suc- cession of vegetables which provide his family with what he terms an "al round the year garden" effecting not | only a large measure of economy but also providing his household with food products of the very highest grade l His callee put forth the suggestion

The string beans. bush lima beans, sweet corn. lettuce. peas, and sradishes will not be all paintings two to three weeks apart will be made. so- as to have a fresh supply throughout the season. If possible 1 enough Irish potatoes should be grown to last throughout the winter.
 Well Defined Plan Necessary. In preparing for garden one should have a weH-dehned plan to follow, advises the States Relations Service. The plan will vary with the kind of plants to be grown, the size of plat available, the section of country. and to some extent with the kind of soil. The small plants like carrots. parsnips. beets, lettuce, etc. may. be grouped in adjacent rows because they lneed much the same treatment, and the rows may be close together. Po- tatoes and sweet corn go well to- gethef, as they need about the same lamount of space. Melons. oucumbers, etc., should be grouped together. Perennial plants like asparagus and rhubarb should occupy one side the garden.

born and French extraction have been exceedingly backward. It is known that there is now with the; Canadian forces at least 4,000 natives of the United States, boys who enlisted just for the excitement. Canada isg proud of her American Battahons. s4 70
 Picked Army.
 The Canadian Army is picked one. There is not a man enlisted unless he is fit. He then goes into camp for training. and he puts in six months in the open under conditions as near what he would have at the front as possible. He is taught howsto take care of himself, to dig treneAes and do the hundred and one other things that the modern soldier has to do. Under the rigid discipline and hard training the man who does not hard en is the exception and he is sent to the Medical Officer for inspection and treatment. If this fails, even though the man may have been in the ranks for months, he is mustered out for only the best are wanted.
 lust before the battalion changes it's bright brass buttons to the dark brass buttons, which denotes that it is under orders to go overseas, every man is carefully examined by thA Medical Officer and if there is a de-sS- of sufficient importance that man is kept at home.
 When a battalion goes only those in command know. The men know when they change their buttons and receive their cartridge pouches that the time is growing near. One day the battalion is marched to the City Hall and the co1ors are blessed. Then the men are told to go home and bid goodby to their loved ones. They then know that they are practically on their way. Some morning the com munity learns that the battalion has left-gone overseas to join those who went before and to heed the call of their King and CeEntxY.

one partitioned off corner of the room is the M. O. (Medical Ohcer), and in another corner is the c. O. (Com- handing Officer)-it is the custom to refer to the> officers by initials. In another corner is the barber and bath room. In the center is a great store of army unlIorms. hats, shoes, under wear, etc., all in assorted sizes.
 The recruit doesn't lose much time if he is medically fit He goes through the formality of signing on and then to the bath, barber and storekeeper in quick succession and in about half an hour after he has entered he emerges outfitted completely and on his way to the barracks.
 Although Canadians are working to their utmost to make up the half a million men promised to Great Britain there are very few who are not of the opinion that conscription should have been used. Not that the army is not being raised, for it is, but the manner in which the last half is literally being forced to the colors is creating the feeling that it would have been wiser to have used -compulsion from the be- ginning.
 Those who have volunteered repre- sent the best blood of the empire. In the ranks are men of all classes. There is a heavy percentage of married men. The class of men who are not in the ranks is the class that is now sought the slackers-and they are being rounded up by Citizens Committees who are furnishing to the recruiting officers the names of eligibles.
 In the early days of the war there was a rush to the colors by men who were English born; in fact, it is said that certain of the provinces which contain a large percentage of native

mild but lately they have become of a rather caustic character and inti- mate strongly that the man who does not join the colors is a stacker.
 The officers of the battalion get right out on the street and work for their recruits. In the larger centers where there are half dozen or more battalions recruiting at the same time the competition is keen. A number of battalions have used such devices as clocks, thermometers, etc., such as are familiar in Y. M. c. A. and hos pital fund raising in the United States. The 124th Battalion of Toronto, which holds the record of growing to full strength in a week, used a soldier board. This board, 20 feet high, was erected in front of the City Hall. Each morning the figure was painted out and repainted to scale. The 170th Battalion used a signal man with a movable arm to denote the daily in crease in the number of men en- rolled.
 The work of soliciting recruits on the streets was easy at first but it has now reached a point where it is de- cidedly hard; discouraging in fact, but
 
 ually filling their commands. On any street corner at almost any time of the day one may find an officer stand ing on a box making an impassioned plea for volunteers. In the theatres, during the intermissions officers make their appeals from the stages. On Sunday nights the theatres, moving picture houses and even the churches are turned into recruiting stations. Clergymen have enlisted as chap lains. and even as privates, and they join in exhorting the slow ones to make haste to don the Kings uni- form. At these recruiting meetings it is customary to have as one of the speakers a soldier returned from the front. In most instances the soldier is one of the convalescents from the hospital and the effect is usually good.
 Back From The Front.
 The writer attended one of these meetings in Toronto. The soldier | speaker was a sergeant who had been
