Vcitoria, Jan.- 17.���������By a standing vote of 33 to 5 the assembled delegates to tlie 28 annual meeting of' the B. C. Fruit Growers Association went on record here this morning as favoring the introduction of indentured labor. The association will immediately petition the Dominion government to provide legislation permitting .such a means of labor supply to be operative during the war, and for such time thereafter as may be deem ed proper. It is to be distirict- lly understod that such labor would be under strict supervision and for agricultural purposes, only.' ' The discussion on the general subject of labor commenced at 2' o'clcok yesterday afternoon L. E. Taylor of Kelowna stat-.. ing the case for the indentured labor. '��������� ' ; His material was based upon personal experience of the system in South Africa and his pleading was assisted by his knowledge of the difficulties, he as a farmer had experienced during the last season not-to mention the dark outlook for the future, unless the problem was quickly solved. From a twenty years' experience of life in China and close understanding of the Oriental, his attitude towards the white races and his vision of the future, J. Huntley of Pen- ticton urged with eloquence and feeling that no steps be taken to bring ;n the China1 men under the proposed system The yellow peril to Mr. Huntley was no myth, and if in assisting this means to aereat a despotism today there were sown the seeds of a much greater calamity to the white races in the future, the price would be too great.

Thayer, GS.Ameri- cu.ii artist, is now, respected by the British army as the .greatest- living camouf lager. -; But in 1914 when he went to' London to offer freely all ;his wonderful knowledge of .military concealment he was. shunted from bureau to bureau, from petty chief,to petty.chief,-.as -\ "harmless old crank." For more than-; thirty-years Thayer has been studying-'how- birds and animals, concealed themselves from the .closest 'ota'- servation by blending with the landscape and in iS96 had pub-, lished an authoritative .treatise on the subject. ..More.than that ho was a.distinguished artist, twice president of the-Society oE American'Artists,, and knew all about color blending. As soon as war was declared Thayer realizing, the importance of camouflage in warfare, sailed for.England to tell, the British about it To demonstrate his ideas he. carried with him some freakish suits with colored patches sewed all oyer theiri in imitation of the different birds. He was. erady to. show just how the trick of "fading' into the landscape". . could be done. But it.was these freak suits that queered him with the War Office. If he had put on a frock coat and a silka htt and carried a gold-headed cane, he might have been _ welcomed. In the meantime French,artists were -gradually developing the art of camouflage but they were making slow progress, because they didn't know the secrets of the birds and the animals which Thayer had discovered years before. Nevertheless, they were show ing what could be done in concealing guns and men, and final Jy the British began to catch on Now Thayer is looked upon as one of the most valuable men in England and everything is .being done to make, up for lost time.

CHARLES LITTLE, Abbotsford, B. C. OUR JIMMY He was only a kid when the war broke out, Just a larruppin, lump of a boy. With a. voice' that wandered ^from A to Z " .' And a lignering love for a toy*. He chored. around a bit on the farm . In a casual kind of way But was always ready to cut the " work For a chance of a bit of play. But one by one'ihe boys joined up .. To take their part in the war Till only Willy was left with Jim, Then Will joined the flying corps. Even his Dad joined up-and he ," Would have beqh a success, I'know if he hadn't tried teaching the G. ' 0. C. ' ' ' ��������� ' . The way he should run the show. So they labelled him back "Returned with thanks" And now. he's a Vag once more Which, suits him better chan 'doing his bit /.��������� .By sweeping the Barrack floor.' Now Charlie's away with the Foresters : And Alan away with the Guns And Willy's gyrating up in the air Dropping grenades on tha Huns. , So Jimmy was left in charge of the farm . : And Mother and Sisters too. 'Twas strange to see how that careless youth Steadied himself and grew. - He'd a dozen cows to milk each day And the calves and pigs to feed To fill the cistern and split the wood And such things as che women need. T-Ji1. developed a back like a threo \ ear bull And a hand like a walrus Hn. Though his voice would still start down in the bass And end up a trifle thin. But Jimmy had the time of his lite When the girls came to pick th-> fruit. Tho what brought him a cropper right off his perch Was a girl in an overall suit. ir she got a bit of a thorn in her hand Hlie'd run off and look for him And it took him an hour to dig it out So gentle and kind was Jim. And if about then he forgot the cows And pigs got a trifle lean. Remember���������, the girl in the sporty trows And. that Jimmy was not sixteen. I'm proud to be called a friend of .Jim And I honor his brave young heart And none, though they're proud of the lads who fight, Can deny that he's done his part. Ah; War with its dreadful thundei cloud Shews the silver lining when It proves that the British boys today today Have the spirit of British men. ���������J. S. Ranier.

SPECIAL VS. SIDE LINE ��������� At this time when economical production is of first consideration, the question of whether production should be increased by encouraging the number of poultry farms or by increasing the flocks kept oil farms and in back yards in the towns and cities, becomes of special interest. Poultry Specialist. That'the poultry specialist usually gets better results than the farmer, goes without saying He gets better results because he has to; if he did not he would soon be out of business. He has nothing but his poultry to depend on; he must show-a profit: It costs him so much more to feed his poultry than-it does the farmer that his only salvation is in increased production. He must get it or fall by the wayside���������one of the failures in the poultry business. With the" present high and the ever increasing prices of feed, it is becoming more and more difficult for the specialist to show a satisfactory profit so that we must turn for increased production to sources where the feed problem is not so acute. This brings us to t he mixerl farm where a floe kis kept as a side line and to the town dweller. Farm Flocks. Every farm in the country should carry a flock large en- ! enough to make the best use of the unsalable grains, vege-' tables and wast milk. There are j a few farms that could not to a! great advantage carry a flock of a tleast one hundred hens. But the flock must be put on a business basis. One member of the family, preferably one of the younger members, should be given full charge. Careful records shoul be kept and all wasters promptly disposed of. In this way the production may be greatly increased without any corresponding increase in cost. Most of the work will be done by one of the younger members of the family. It will interfere very little with the general farm work. It will generally be i~.~4.^ \jxl xuvj uuUi, ^UL_,yj ou ul/" i ; x^ei iiiuoii ui. uio iuvvox" &l"UUvj 'jjiuuuGlb limy' ue leu to inuuuoe I u'gi-eittur pi-out .ui'an u &oiu ox1 ' itM lu ixay outer nve stock. 1 ' I'llO 4>iUiA-A Jll'll .b: iOCii.. , I - Tno gnjiiieai nope tor mcrea- !seu.,pi-uuuciiou: ac tne present tic iios ui tne baoK yard nocks, /nioru is no reason why ever} ic'ity, town and village should ! not be wholly or in great part at any rate, self-supporting ��������� from an egg standpoint. There are hundreds and thousands of .dollars' worth of good feed thrown in tlie garbage pails every day.,.The waste ..going on even yet in our cities is simply appalling. The kitchen waste from the ordinary family of five or six people niaybe" fed-to best advantage to a flock of about, twenty-five birds. This is1 more than many will want to keep, but a flock of this size will only require a house about twelve feet square, even a little less will do, no yard room is neces-- sary and the . eggs produced should keep the house' supplied and still leave enough to sell to less thrifty neighbors, to pay for all the supplementary feeds which it is necessary to purchase. What is more tempting to th"^ appetite than an absolutely new laid egg from a fldck that has been cleanly feed? '"Once used to home produced' ; eggs, the consumer will never be content to depend on store eggs. If you don't believe this^ try it. Under the present" conditions increase reproduction should not be brought about by increasing the number of poultry farms, but rather by increasing the size and number of farm flocks, flocks may be kept largely on thing but good producers and last, but of primary importance by the increase in number of back yard poultry plants where flocks may be kept lragely on feed that would otherwise be wasted: .
