SCIENCE ON FARM
Agriculturist Of Today Must
Know Business Thoroughly.
Canadian Tillers Of the Soil Have
Proved That Old Days Of Hap
hazard Methods Have Gone.

f Agriculture in Canada has the sta
tus of a profession which both its high
standard of operation and the prime
place it occupies III national life justi-
fy. The days when land was casually
filed on and farmed without any In
telligent understanding of agricultural
processes are going with the dwindling
availability of the land. and rapidly
passing is the epoch Of the destruc-
ton of soil values, and the abandon
ment of farms which have been rem
dered unproductive. Clearer and clear
er has become the realization that
farming is specialized profession re-
Quiring special training. and In the
place Of this spoliation there is an
intelligent system Of crop rotation,
preservation of the virtue Of the land,
"a discovery Of the nobility Of the
farmers calling and a determination
to secure end achieve the best pos
sible in everything.
The Education Of the Farmer.
Agricultural colleges, experimental
farms, government literature, railway
propaganda, all In an appreciation Of
the national benefits which accrue,
contribute to the education Of the
farmer who, If he starts out In igno-
rance, speedily discovers the futility
and proftlessness of continuing In
this state. 1t Is only of comparatively
recent years that farming in Canada
has become the comprehensive and ex-
haustive study 1t is and its tenets
been so widely absorbed, and older
farmers who have followed haphazard
methods or systems scientifically I'M
sound are gradually forced from neces-
sity into an intelligent study and up
plication Of their profession.
This brings us to the city man who
Is anxious to leave his old life for the
greater freedom of the country and
take farm for himself, and, the fore
going holding good, he need not follow
far behind the older farmer IL he take
up the study Of his work seriously,
bring energy and intelligence to bear
upon a following out of the systems
of experienced and successful agricul-
turists, and utilize the results Of the
expert investigation and research the
Dominion places at his disposal. The
whole country Is working for him and

The Friendly
Path R waite: I z.,;....
EVERYONE MUST PAY
Observation-Disclosures

EVERYONE must pay for what he
- gets.
There is law of recompense which
cannot be evaded or ignored.
If one prizes his happiness he must
expect to pay. Eventually the bill col.
lector will demand his toll. Unless
payment is made rough pathway lies
directly ahead.
Many constantly fear the bill col
lector who comes and demands money
toll. But he is the most harmless OF
all the collectors. The real collector
to be feared is the one which takes the
form of conscience. 1t Is impossible
to dodge this one or to brighten him
off with double-barreled gun.
Those who imagine they have ended
the collector when In the form Of con-
science are foolishly deluded. But
even though they may get some enjoy
ment, out of life because they think
they have satisfied themselves that
their consciences were wrong, they
can always expect another collector
which takes the form Of law to hound
them until the debt is paid.
In this age when many fathers and
mothers are worried concerning the
future Of their children, there is good
reason to impress upon the young
people the Importance of being on the
square-on the square with the world
as well as with themselves. Too many
start into their worlds pathways bent
on getting as much as they can-both
in material value and pleasurewith
out paying for Its worth. II parents
allow boys and girls, when their
characters are in the making, to get
this false impression of the way best
to get on, sorry days are likely to be
ahead not alone for the sons and
daughters and their children, but for
the fathers and mothers as well.
The law of compensation is inexor-
able"

Eighteen Months
to Make Picture

TT took a year ana a half to pro-
duce "The Mistress OF the
World" the stupendous thirty
reel Ufa picture, according TO Para
mount, which is distributing the
picture in this country in four five
reel chapters.
The ordinary five or six.reel fea-
ture, such as forms the stape fare
of American movie audiences re-
quries from four weeks to
two months production work, ac-
cording to the conditions under
which the picture Is made.
But all time rules and records had
to be thrown overheard when Jo-
seph May, the great European pro-
Queer, started producing his super.
production of twenty reels. The
story was given to the continuity
writer in April, 1919, and the final
cutting of the finished picture was
not accomplished until October,
1920. And at that the picture would
not have been completed as quickly
as II was had not the director
worked his company night and day
on the last twelve reels.

Howard Made Star
By Losing His Job

A LII has not been sunshine and
~ roses for Willie Howard, the
clever. comedian who does so
much to make the team Of Howard
Brothers the big success it is in
1.-THE Passing Show Of 1921"
When Willie Howard was just
boy, singing in the gallery the
choruses of Anna Held's songs, his
weekly wage was only SO, but the
youngster, being ambitious for other
things. struggled along on this, little
dreaming that some day his salary
would be in the four-figure mark.
About this time, his voice changed,
and he went to the music publishers
by whom he was employed as a song
booster, and asked them to give him
q position as office boy in their
place Of business. They replied that
there was nothing open.
After his voice came back, bet.
ter than before, and his rise in the
theatrical world was by leaps and
bounds, this same firm came to him
and asked him to use one of their
songs which they were DESTROYS of
popularizing. Willie took the song,
put IL on for one performance and
made a hit; then sent them a noti-
fication that 1t would cost them
$1,000 II he continued using it.
The, letter in reply. accusing him
Of ingratitude, finished up with:
I'VE are surprised, Willie; for did
We not make you the present star
that you are by not allowing you to
become an office boy for us? Just
think-you might still be filing let
tiers and busting off the boss desk"

in marrying an aviator. II
Ethel Levey, the international
singing star, hadn't been the wife OF
Claude Graham-White, the famous
British flyer, she wouldn't have had
the distinction of being the only
woman who ever saw a battle on
the western front from an airplane.
She went in her husbands ma
chine for a flight over the Sonme
battlefield one day when the fight.
ing was at it's height, and has
all told, made more than 100 flights
with hubby. 1t is most convenient,
in these times Of peace, to have
an aviator in the family. When
she wants to take a little trip to
Paris, she just asks Grahame-White
to start the bus and off they go.
All her trips from London, her
present home, to Paris, are made
by plane.
Graham White, incidentally, is
among the foremost Of British
flyers. He attained considerable
distinction in this country about
ten years ago at the first Harvard
aviation meet, at Squantum, Mass.
There he easily took practically all
the honors in sight, chief among
them being the trophy for the first
flight around Boston Light, which
he accomplished in his Bleriot b.
plane.
Miss Levey's tour in vaudeville
will be short. as her stay in Amer
lea is limited. She has made Eng
land her home since 1912 and has
spent most OF the time in London,
with the exception of a brief trip
now and then to New York or
Paris. Mr.. Grahame-White accom-
panies her on her present VISIT to
her native land.
