Undoubtedly our common in
terests in the war will bring clos
er together the peoples of the
United States and Canada.

Now that the United States is
at war with Germany, it is per-
tinent to call attention to the fact
that this country has been a large
source of supply for Germany
during the present war. Altho'
we have sold little to Germany
direct, because of the British
blockade, we have been selling as
freely as Great Britain would
permit through the medi1mship
of Norway, Sweden. Denmark
and Holland. We sold Denmark
eight times as much corn in 1916
as in 1914. OF course these sales
will not be made in future and
Germany will lose this source OF
food supply.

1t seems to be fashionable just
now to scold the American farm
er for not producing more crops
and to urge him to produce more
this year, as a patriotic duty in
time of war. There need be no
fear that the farmers Of the coun-
try will miss any opportunity to
produce all the crops they and
their families can plant, cultivate
and harvest. The prospective
price is decidedly attractive ard
is sufficient incentive. But there
is a limit to the extent of crops
farmer and his wife and children
can SOW and garner. What is
really needed is larger number
of city people out on the farms to
help with the sowing and the har-
vest. There is no lack of either

While exports from New Zea-
land to the United States for 1916
fell So, 900, 900 short of the 1915
record, they were yet 100 per
cent greater than for 1914, ac-
cording to figures furnished by
the U. S. Consul General at Auck-
land. The value of goods in
voiced to the United States and
possessions from New Zealand
during 1916 was about SILL
600, 900, the decline below 1915
being more than accounted for
by the decrease in wool shipped

British government took the sur
plus. Foodstuffs make up the
