canada's Oldest House

Canada's oldest continuously occu-
pied house stands in the little village Of
Sillery, suburb of the city of Quebec.
The mansion, as 1t once was, is nearly
three hundred years old, having been
built in 1857. The father and foun-
der of Sillery and its mission was the
Commander de Sillery, a great French
man of his time, favorite of the
French court and for long time a
leading ambassador Of the king of
France, following which he took holy
orders as a Jesuit, and thus became
one Of the early missionaries to New
France.

Diversified Farming-How to Get 1t

Valley Press Association at its last meeting went on
record In favor of a campaign to bring home to Valley
farmers the value of diversified farming operations in
this section.
Previous to the meeting of the press association at
which such action was taken, at least three banks in the
Valley had come out with large advertisements in their
local papers, advocating that the farmer indulge in a
more diversified effort, and calling attention to the COW,
sow and hen triligy.
One thing should be kept in mind by everybody who
takes it upon himself to advise the farmer.
The farmer owns the ground, pays for the seed, does
a considerable portion Of the work, and pays the labor
which does the work he does not do himself. He is run
ming his own business, and undoubtedly gets more advice
on how to run that business than does any operator in
any other line of business, unless it be the publisher of a
newspaper!
Newspapers and bankers have apparently united to
advise the farmer to diversity.
And yet, newspapers and bankers, more than any
two classes of business in the Valley, have been respon-
sible for more farmers "plunging' on various crop com
modities than all the farmers and other business men in
the Valley combined.
Newspapers have been responsible because they
have, without exception, published stories, perhaps true
stories, of exceptional profits made by some individual
farmer in exceptional years under exceptional circum-
stances, leaving the casual reader to believe that such
profits are the usual thing in Valley farming operations.
On the other hand, banks Of the Valley have
financed farmers in their years operations, knowing full
well that the scheme of operations as outlined BY the
farmers they were financing, was economically unSOund.
1t would be interesting to know just how many Of our
Valley banks in making loans have demanded Of the
farmer the same sort of a financial statement they would
demand of a business man applying for a loan.
1t would be still more interesting TO know how many
of our Valley banks have insisted that farmers to whom
they loan money should have COWS and chickens on the
place.
Similar demands are made of business men seeking
loans for their business and could be made with just as
much propriety from a farmer.
You cannot legislate, you cannot argue, anyone into
doing anything. The cold voice Of reason, however, can
give advice which will in most cases be taken, and taken
gladly.
Valley farmers, most Of them would be glad to di-
versify if the way to diversification were pointed out to
them, and Valley bankers and Valley newspapers, by
showing how to get the money to diversity and by telling
along what lines to diversity, can help the good work
along.

NEW COITFR CTRF

YOUNGSTOWN, O. Deputy
Sheriffs Clark and James picked
up Victor Haney and Paul Belleville
with a gallon OF liquor in their car.
Belleviile told the deputies that a
doctor had prescribed corn liquor
for his inward goiter-which ac-
counted for the liquor in the car.
The alibi, however. wasn't on
vincing enough and both men now
face a charge OF possession and
transportation OF liquor.
