~sfs question Of conservation Of
,.-8 has become so agitated by those
- have knowledge of what it
.-ens ia the preservation of life, who
- made a study of the food condi-
T. and the requirements of the
,ongtry that it is beginning to arouse
errfre nation. The economist
,sosa duty it is to study the output
# oampare II with the consumption,
..ss rapidly creeping up Of one on
f.. other. and. when the appetite of
4 .,sl-untion gets q Roadway on the
-~-rr+ where will the nation be? 1t
FINE the people were aroused, for
S.sra is danger ahead unless the in
,sHrence of the people is awakened to
g. facts. The crop of 1917 viii be
n.s than an average one, and see the
vors..it has to perform. 1t has to
ss.3 the man producing it, and he is
~ loss efficiency today than a year
,ro His strength has been reduced
Nv the drawing away of the thousands
from the farms, who are now in the
ranks Of the consumer instead of in that
- me producer. There is an inverse
ratio here that can only be under
s.oed when confronted with the ap-
Mailing figures presented by those in
charge Of the conservation work. The
orr9v has to be fed, dependents cared
for the navy has to have provisions,
ard we cannot sit idly by and see the
women and children of the countries
across the sea starve. There is such
great call for active participation in
the matter Of providing food, that
those who are left at home in charge
Of Juis work have a responsibility
placed upon them fully as great as has
the nan at the front who has gone out
70 protect the homes, the Sanctity and
the honor of those who are left behind.
The producer should think only of
this, there should be economy, not
only Of labor. Every acre of avail
able land should be producing. Ad-
vantage should be taken of every day
light hour 1t must not be a case of
how much can we make. 1t must be
case Of fight" with those who have
gone overseas, but in our way, fight TO
win the war. Where that spirit per
gades will be found the spirit of the
patriotic American. There is no diff
Guilty In securing land in any of the
states. 1t may be rented on easy terms
or purchased at low prices, and there
should be little difficulty arranging
with bankers to get the necessary
funds to carry on operations. Should
you not be able to get what you want
in your own state, Western Canada
offers an immense wide field for oper.
stons at the lowest possible cost, and
Americans are welcomed with open
arms. Homesteads of 100 acres each
may be had on easy conditions, and
other lands may be purchased at low
prices on easy terms. The yields of
az kinds Of small grains are heavy.
The prospects for a 1917 crop are ex-
ceAent, and it looks today as if there
would De as good return as at any
tine in the past, and when it is real
lied that there have been yields of
forty and forty-fve bushels of wheat
over large areas this should be en-
couraging. Now that the two coun-
tries are allies and the cause is a com.
mon one there should be no hesitation
10 accepting whatever offer seems to
lie the best in order to increase the
production SO necessary, and which
should it not be met, will prove a Sc
nous menace. Particulars as to Cana.
oan lands, neither for purchase or
homestead, Lay be had on application
to any Canadian Government Agent
Advertisement.
