with q copy of pixies Guide to

commend to any parent who desires
to turn young girls mind from the
follies of fashion and fast society
to the serious things of life here

paragraph that met my eye was
something which read this way: ''MY
dear child, if you knew you were
to live three months or possibly a
year, in this town, city or country

set down as the truth.
My young mind absorbed it. 1t has
remained with me three score

Errors of Agricultural Omission and
Commission

In crisis such as we are still
passing through many mistakes
were made. Some of these errors
amounted to serious enonomic blum.
ders. They occurred because of our
continental sufficiency and the ina
bility of many of our so-called lead
ers to sense or understand the Sc
rious economic conditions by which
the world was confronted. AS an eX-
ample of what I have in mind, our
farmers undertook to hold their crops
for higher prices at the wrong time,
thereby insuring a more complete
slowing up of our trade activities
than might otherwise have occurred.
This action was in a large measure
retroactive as well, and like the rip
pie starting from the center of the
pool, radiated to every part OF the
earth's circumference. The farmer
felt that he was the victim of cir
cumstances and that he was done a
great injustice. The conclusions in
this respect were well founded in
many particulars. The action taken
by some agencies no doubt precipi-
tated the economic slump already in
sight and aggravated financial con-
ditions to degree wholly unde-
sirable. Nevertheless our farmers
could not expect to escape the lnev-
liable, and now that we are faced by
a condition and not a theory, let us
not make the mistake of wasting all
our energy on what has happened.
The sooner we forget those unhappy
times, face the future with reSolu-
ton and work confidently for the
rewards which will ultimately be ac-
corded our producers, the sooner
will that great readjustment which
must precede our complete economic
recovery take place.
In many respects, the farmers sit
uation could not be worse. Crops
produced during the fevered perioA
of postwar activities at unheard-of
prices were not sold, or if sold, at
y depreciation of their cost of produc-
ton that has almost wiped out his
credit. He is confronted by the pay
ment of notes at high interest rates
which he can not meet. There is no
demand for many of the crops he
has harvested. He must have long
time credits if he is to win his way
out of the financial maze in which
ne is now enCdHSleu. ne HluSL NC
supported and encouraged by every
class of society; he must be helped
by all to regain that degree of equi-
librium which will stabilize his bust
ness and put our primary industry
back on a permanent basis gain. The
philosophy of the French nation
should come to our rescue at
this time. "C'est lie Guerre" is what
they said no matter what happened
to them. France is building back
rapidly because she realized that her
troubles came from the war and that
the only way to overcome them and
build back her nation was through
forgetting and going to work and
charging off the mistakes, errors and
losses as a contribution to the cause
which she so nobly espoused.
A part of the troubles by which we
are confronted at this time, there
fore, arise from Our own errors OF
omission and commission; from our
failure to visualize world economic
conditions; from our own mistake in
