B!GNESS OF FARMING
By MRS. NELLIE KEDZIE JONES,
Smoky Hill Farm, Wood County,
Wisconsin,

Of late speeding up" the farmer

all sorts of non-farming people.
On all hands have appeared people
who tell us farmers just what we ought
to do and just how we ought to do it.

farm. With the possession of those
few sterile acres, came new sense Of
honor. There was almost reverence In
his voice as he spoke to me of "my es-
tate" Settled on their own acres,
there sprang up q new ambition in the
hearts Of those poor people from
across the sea. At last they, too, were
farmers.
In Europe the farmers position is
most honorable, but with us, it is,
fear, somewhat otherwise. How glib
ly we used to hear it said, "Oh, yes,
Uncle Sam will give us all q farm"
All the homesteaders had to do was
simply to move onto 100 acres of
choice prairie land, virgin soil it was,
and 1t was his. "Come easy--go
easy" cheap land tended to cheaper
the idea Of farming, as a life career,
and to belittle the farmer as q man.
WiscOnsin's splendid College of Agri-
culture and it's progressive farmers are
daily setting the standard higher.
These are rapidly changing the pOpu-
lar misconceptions. In fact, the city
man with money in his pocket who
cannot buy fuel enough to keep his
family warm, who has the haunting
fear of actual hunger due to the break
down of transportation, who finds his
wife in tears because no milk can be
had for the baby, is fast coming to be-
lieve that after all there may be some
thing in farming.
Accepting good naturally the flood
of advice poured on us by everybody
in general and the nobodies in par
ticular, for what it is worth, let us re-
member that there are wise men, and
that there are able commissions freely
giving their best to the nation These
able men of proven worth can advise
us wisely, in this hour of sore trial
when the fate of free governments
throughout the whole world hangs
trembling in the balance. This is the
issue: Shall our world be ruled as
Pharaoh or Caesar would rule it
(kaiser is German for Caesar) or shall
it be ruled as George Washington Or
Abraham Lincoln would rule it? Sure
ly it will take all our wisdom to win :.
But the nations best men in the sci
ence Of agriculture and the practice
of profitable farming are planning the
food campaign, that will feed us and
our hungry allies.

period of 47S,5OO. In common with
the United States, Canada had suf-
fered before the war relative de,
cline Of agricultural production, or III
other words, the increase in agricul-
tural production did not keep pace
with the increase In population, or
with the industrial expansion of the
country.
The war has wrought changes. For
over three years we followed the vol
untary system Of enlistment and
young men from the farms enlisted as
freely as those of any other occupa-
ton. There was little thought at the
beginning that diminishing produc-
ton among our allies would make the
production Of food as essential to
winning the war as the enlisting Of
men, There was no general sentiment
that the able-bodied young farmer
should stay on his farm. Quite the
contrary, recruiting officers were
equally busy in town and country. A
Stacker was a Stacker, whether in the
field or in the office. Besides, our
young farmers would not be denied
their share Of the adventure, the glory.

tame and unherGic when the call to
arms was ringing in the air from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. And so they
left their farms, and left the agricul
tural colleges by thousands and tens
of thousands, to dig trenches in Elan
ders instead Of drainage bitches in
Canada, to push the bayOnet instead
Of the pitchfOrk, to work the machine
guns instead of the self binder. They
have reversed prophecy. They have
beaten their ploughshares into swords.
and their pruning hooks into spears,
and they have gone forth to learn
war.
That exodus to the army left the
farms Of Canada denuded of skilled
labor In the spring of 1915 it began
to be felt, more seriously in 1915, and
by 1917 the shortage was so acute that
national action was urged.

In consideration of the fact that more than
25, 900 commercial users Of sugar must file
reports of sugar on hand and obtain certif-
icates before they can purchase other sup
plies, sugar headquarters" will be opened
in the Pomerantz Building. on Fifteenth

headquarters. He will be assisted during the
next two weeks by Edward T. James of the
Corn Exchange National Bank. and more

ed their services
The visible commercial supply of sugar at
this time is said to be 56.6 per cent of the
supply one year ago and the most serious
shortage has come since the first of the year
1t is estimated that 1, 100000 tons must sup
ply the nation for the next six months and
that is why the ration Of three pounds a
month for each person has been established
Individuals Or firms can purchase sugar
hereafter only by certificate and. this certi-
ficate must be obtained from the food ad-
ministration office. Househoders may pur-
chase not more than two pounds at one time
for home consumption. or twenty-five pounds

for hoarders and other violators of the sugar

days supply in the house, and any Arm pos
sessing more than three months supply on
hand, will be considered hoarders,
