When the war ��������� was on and this country was puling forth every effort., at home and overseas, to aid the allied cause, a great spirit of , confidence and faith, of willingness to work, economize and sacrifice, filled every class of the community from the highest'to the lowest. As a result, Canada's honourable war record has set her high' among tho nations, with a place at tho Iin- - perial Council table and a voice in international affairs'. Canada must and will come, with equal honor, through the throublous times of post-war adjustment. The only question is, will all of us help��������� or some of us hinder, by pessimism, apathy, or class Jealousy? "To the Canadian farmer, this question comes with a peculiar force. Agriculture must be the economic balance wheel of this or any nation. 'It is an occupation where nature herself demands energy, courage, economy and efficiency. Those sturdy qualitieu radiate from our farms to industries in other wallwj of life, where so n.uny leaders wer.o country born and bred. - Tiie farm home and farm life as the source of what has been and is the strongest and truest in our national character is interwoven wicii - the history of Canada from its infancy. The settlers on the shores of > New .Brunswick and Nova Scotia., toiling to clear,a patch of forest and sowing their grain among the : stumps; Hebert1 and. the pioneers of , New France, fighting Indians, endur- ������������������ ing privation; wrestling merely a' rude, living from their.' small clearings, but full of faith, in the future, if not for them,'then for generations .yet to come;"^ the men who rescued " Upper Canada from the".wilderness; the-Red River' colonists, ' who, after . two years of��������� complete destruction of .their crops, sent a party to the Mis- , sissip'pi for seed grain for the next , year and won! These men made pos- .. sible the Canada of today. The farmers of,'- Canada, ��������� then, ��������� have a rich history and a noble tradition to live up-to. Upon them Ca'i- ���������ada's progress has always, in the* ��������� main, depended; upon them it will' always, in the main, depend. < (What, then is' necessary for the farmer's of today? - Simply the application of those qualities'we have referred . to���������renergy, courage, ; economy and-efficiency,- and under present-day conditions the''-return is sure and speedy. -A very high per- - centage of 'farms owned by farmers in this country have been-ecquired and paid for in the farmer's ; own lifetime. For the present and future generations there is exactly tho ���������" same opporunity. True, with each , generation, and perhaps oftener, we" may have to change our type of crops to meet changing market re- ; quirements,. but surely what-is a ��������� trifling task- compared -wi-th that of ��������� those who had to- establish themselves in a new country, create their farm, their- community, their markets, and their civilization. During the war years, the farmer, like .most others, became unreasonably optimistic. As in other industries, he over-capitalized, tied up ' too much money in .extravagant buildings and expensive machinery, . bought, tractors to .get the crops in more quickly and easily, without considering whether the actual earning power of these warranted the -investment. With the depression, which has followed, this over-expen- sion has been a serious burden and has shaken the .faith of some in ultimate success. We must get back the indomitable courage and untiring effort of Canada's early days. The farmer must remember that in the last analysis he is infinitely better off than the wage-earner of the city. True, hi3 cash income may sometimes be small, but he can, at the very worst, gain his living from the soil, while in the city the larger wage soon melts' away in paying for things which on the farm involves no cash outlay. The farm products are necessities of life and must always command a market the week, and this coming after the recent heiavy rains has' put the soil in a condition that it ban not been in at this time of the year since 19.10; the farmers arc consequently very jubilant and if optimism could pay debts tho farmers of Sou!hem Alberta could by next fall-. cancel our National Debt." '" "HOW CAN I KEEP MY ROYS ON THE FARM?'' "Year by year, tho rural life of the west is suffering from tho loss of its young men and women ��������� because the farming communities are allowed t.o become uninteresting,'! says Mr. Ii. Curie, Secretary of the Manitoba Board, Retail Merchants' Association of Canada, in a recent article. This' is true, not only of the west but of every other part of Canada. Tho'groatly extended educational" opportunities enjoyed by the young generation of today have developed a variety of interests that would, and frequently does, amaze our grandfathers. Those hardy ancestors of pioneer days had but little .leisure to hung heavily on their hands, and when they did indulge in a pleasure trip to town, the long, hard journey over hard roads was generally justified by business motives a.s well.' Hut new machinery and methods have changed all that. The young men and women on th��������������� farm today have leisure and they demand leisure interests'. If these interests' are lacking in the community where they live, or if they cannot conveniently reach a community centre where ' these interests a.va available, the young folks "leave the farm and seek a. more diversified life in the larger centres. Then comes the farmer's cry, "How can I keep my boys on the farm?" This is a vital problem with every farmer and even more so with every mother on the farm. To the old folks the farm is home and often it is a family heritage,- " built for succeeding generations. But this fact alone will not keep the children on the land, rnd so, over and over again the old tragedy is enacted, the heritage is renounced, "the children go, the family is broken up, and the ruv- ral communities' lose the very life blood of their existence. Then, when one asks,- "How's business?" the answer will be, "Tt isn't like it used to be, because those who made business have gone." - But this condition does not exist in communities where the community as a whole has been sold on motor transportation. In fact, it is true that you can measure the prosperity of any communtiy by the extent of its transportation facilities. For, good .transportation extends the boundaries of the community, and,the sons and daughters of the farmer who lives ten miles from the communitj church, but who have a car, can participate in the entertainments and social functions' just as conveniently as those who live only half a mile away. And it is just convenience such as this more than anything else that will keep' the young-folks on the farm. No city family nowadays expects the children to remain around the fireside night after night or to limit their pleasures to an occasional visit among the neighbors. That would be unreasonable in view of the plenitudes of good wholesome recreation that they can enjoy such as theatres, parties, night schools, church and ) Sunday school activities, social functions, lectures, movies, dances and so forth, to say nothing of the conveniences of libraries and fraternal and athletic clubs. ICity dwellers accept these things as part of their everyday life, and would find life mighty monbtonou.'. without them. And therein lies your answer to the farmer's cry, "How.can I keep my boys on the farm?" It isn't the farm work that drives tho boys to the city and makes 'hired labor hard to keep. It's the deadly monotony of farm life after working hours, the long uninteresting, un eventful evenings, the humdrum every t'ime that a farmer crias 'How can 1 keep my boys on the iarin?" he :s shouting aloud his need for motor transportation. How much Henry Ford, has contributed to the contentment of tlie young folks'on the farm would be difficult to estimate. But money alone doesnlt generate happiness for the farmer and his' family. ( They crave social diversion and changed surroundngs and travel and so tho farmer buys his Ford car and a new world is opened up '.o them. Within a week, the Ford that waft bought primarily as' a pleasure car suddenly becomes exceedingly useful as a business car as well and fast trips to town for supplies which are needed in a hurry, are no longer a' day's job in themselves. Mother and the girls' learn lo drive and in a week or two have an Imposing schedule of daytime trips to town or to visit {he neighbors while the men-folk arc at work. Within a few months, the Ford has changed the outlook of tho whole family and has so thoroughly established itself as a necessity that to revert to the old motorlcss days again is simply unthinkable. And so the genius of Henry Ford smooths out the trials and difficulties of farm life, lifts' up the heavy burden from th'e shoulders of tho farmer and brings leisure and happiness and contentment to every individual in this great producinig class upon whom the welfare of the nation so closely depends'. ; The Voice is the Soul of Telephoning When you complete a long distance conversation you experience a satisfaction* that does not follow under other circumstances.

'������������������uisiHiui u������t,iuiib.i, uiiv; iiuuiui I1U1 The products of city industries must sameness, night after night, week often create their market and theii sale is subject to wide fluctuations. Sure of a market, then, the farmers' main problem is simply the lowering of cost of production to permit-of a fair margiin of profit even at present prices. This can be done and is being done. , We,may call attention to the advertisement placed in this issue by the Federal Department of Agriculture. It 4s more than an advertisement, it is a call;to united and cheerful effort, . a summons to the Canadian spirit of the "will to ������win" which has burned so; brightly through out Canada's history���������a spirit which is so well shown in a message received In Ottawa only a few days ago from one of the foremost farmers of the Province of Alberta. He says: "It started to rain the last part of j after week, month 'after month, year after year, world without end, amen. Can_you blame the young folks forgetting out? Farm boys and girls are just like city boys and girls. They like company and parties and theatres and civic problems and every other single thing that goes to make up a complete life. The one way to keep them on the farm is to make those things available to them.; And those things are available to the farm family that can step into its car and drive down' the road to the community centre that is the heart of the social life of the district. There is an urgent need for more cars on the farm. It is being reiterated every day in every rural community in every part of Canada. For Few-keepers of poultry realize the full extent of the injury done by red mites. With the warmer weather'the mites flourish and multiply until the poultry buildings become infested with these pests, and the harm is done. The red mite is the most dangerous of the external parasites that attack fowl, and if allowed to spread unchecked far worse losses might accrue than breeders ��������� imagine. These parasites are most injurious, to young chickens and brood heris.- The persistent loss of young- chicks and the failure of hens to bring off good hatches are often due to the irritation caused by the unsuspected presence of the red mite. _; ��������� The attacks of hoards of mites weaken and predispose- the fowl to many maladies, as well as materially reducing the yield of eggs. Some prominent scientists are convinced ,that the bite of the mite i-e venomous and that even worse disaster might result than merely weakened .condition brought about by the slicking of the blood. , Many people are unaware of the presence or appearance of the mite. They may not visit their poultry houses at night, and the parasite-is nocturnal; it dislikes light. The adult is seldom found on the fowl in the day time, but emerges from the deposits of filth and dirt that have accumulated in the cracks and crevices of the house and fittings, and climbs to his roosting victim to gorge himself with blood. The presence of the mite may be readily detected by a close examina': tion of the roosts and nest boxes. Th3 practice of running one's hand along underneath the roosts once a day is advisable, as some parasites will adhere and can be seen and felt distinctly. Immediate extermination is'vitai and ste.ns should be taken at once to rid the building of all material that will harbour and protect the mites. Fittings should be removed, dirt and filth brushed out with a stiff broom, and the inside of the building and furniture thoroughly saturated with a powerful germicide by means of a.spray pump or brush. ��������� Some of the coal, tar by-product used as sprays vary in* "efficiency when used in economical strength solutions; but where the mites are evident in small batches and only in places, these insecticides may be applied with a brush in their full commercial-strength, i- A five or ten per cent, solution of carbolic acid is very effective, but not without danger as a spray, lt can however be recommended it proper precautions are taken. The most economical and effective preparation is a five to ten per cent. nolutjon of coal oil and soap suds, which should lie applied twice with an internal of two or three days between applications! ���������.

TICKET THIS CAM PIOUS NEW FOREST RULE The Government of New Brunswick has issued a proclamation declaring that people entering tho forests of that Province until next November must take out a license to do so. This action brings New Brunswick into line with the Province of Quebec in providing an official check on people who visit forest country for the purpose of "travelling, camping, fishing, picnicking, or other-purposes." People who do so must first register with a local fire warden, game license vendor, or other official authorized to issue permits under the law.

On Sunday morning after leaving the home of a berry grower on tht Dewdney Trunk road, where they had called at a very late hour, a big Chandler, Licence No. 33880 with five men in it failed to make the turn at the Manson road corner, and in swerving around to make the turn after having gone considerably past the car was overturned, pinning the driver under the steering gear and' several of the other passengers under the car in very awkward positions. It appears that one of the party was quite free and he was able to. free another and these two were able to get the others out from under the ^car in a short space of time. Medical assistance was secured at the earliest possible moment and the driver, Frank Phalan'was hurried -to the Mission Memorial hospital. Fred Vickson another of; the party was placed under medical care the next day. The other received but slight bruises. POLICEMAN '-MEETS'/.

As these berries were intended for th3 prairie holiday trade, and any delay in transit would entail .serious loss lii marketing, we wired the Supt of ibo Dominion Express Co., Va.i- eouvp", <���������!' Oils fact, and urged him to ni.V c upoclal arrangements to have all three cars forwarded. Latei in tho day we were informed tin' only two of them were on No 4, t.'-.o other (No. 5V,2'A) being held for tho evening train. We consider that the Vancouver Island shippers have a claim against the Company for'any loos caused h/ their failure to forward this car. The geographical pt. si linn of Vancouver Island, and the fuel Hint there is no Dominion Express; service by carlots from there, is sufficient .handicap in shipping perishables to the prairie market without being subject to further disabilities. In other years we have seen as many as six cars of berries on one passenger train. QUESTIONS AM) ANKIVKKH FOR Tlltf O'.TlKrtl'RH MAN my li-of.

Some suggest that our debt worries can best be eased by <*o- ing further into debt. O" ,"s preach blue ruin, decry theii own country and indulge in ivis- chievous propaganda genet a iy, while still others look for a new social order or some miraculous sign to indicate a better coming- day���������all this in apparent forgct- fulness of the fact that just ns there was no royal road to win the war, there is now no royal road to pay for it or -regain our former buoyancy, vigor and confidence. Some are leaving Canada hoping to escape taxation, only to find there is no escape anywhere. In seeking for easy remedies, too many of us overlook the fact -that the greatest remedy is honest, hard work faithfully and intelligently performed, accompanied by old-fashioned thrift. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes grit. But every Canadian knows in his heart that Canada is coming through all right. Our Experience Proves It Look back over the path Canada has trod. The French Colonists, cut off from civilization by 3,000 miles of sea, faced a continent��������� a wilderness���������without the aid of even a blazed trail. They had to fight savages, frosts, scurvy, loneliness and starvation. The United Empire Loyalists subdued an unbroken forest in one generation, growing their first wheat amid the stumps and snags of the new clearing. The Selkirk settlers came to Manitoba when the prairie was a buffalo pasture, and grew wheat where none had grown before and where those who knew the country best at that time said wheat would never grow. Today the Canadian prairies grow, the finest wheat in the world. In proportion to population Canada stands to-day among the wealthiest nations in the world, with average savings on deposit per family of $800. Canada's foreign trade per head of population stands amongst the highest of the commercial nations, being $192 per capita in 1922-23, as compared with $135 in 1913-14, the "peak" year before the war. New Opportunities for Canada In Canada, although prices in the world markets fell below war level, out farmer* reaped last autumn the largest grain crop/ in Canadian history, and Canada became the world's largest exporter of wheat, thus in targe measure making up for lower prices. Last year, Great Britain, after an agitation extending over thirty years, removed the embargo on Canadian cattle, and a profitable and practically unlimited trade is opening up for Canadian stockers and feeders.

The most i'avot od route for both north ��������� and southbound traffic" appears to-be tlie Hall's Prairie, and just so, for this road, with the ' exception of a few chuck-holes', is in good condition for the entire distance. A few loads of gravel dumped'at the north side of the Hazelmere hill "would probably eliminate the holes,.and with these filled there could* not possibly be any caus'e for complaiint. Through the use of the Hall's Prairie, two additional miles of pav* ing are available on the recently completed section of the Highway. The turn of the Hall's Prairie is made at Hazelmere and-the North Bluff road is followed, instead of the Campbell River., The North Bluff, while-a trifle narrow, is"in good shape. A duty the automobile clubs might well carry out would lie to install ' a larger sign, or even station- a" man at the corner of the old G.-'N. right of way, which is used by northbound traffic as a detour around the Hazel- mere Hill. While'-there is a sign at this point at present, it is; much' too small and carries too little information to be of much value to unfamiliar motorists. Other signs might also be erected at the corner of the new McLellan and the Hall's Prairie road, so as to direct traffic back to the Highway at Cloverdale.������������������ Columbian. .

Tlie World's Worst Has-been Having failed as a war-lord and as an emperor, Mr. Hohenzollern insists on failing as an author.���������Toronto Veteran. -zMotorists' are up against all kinds of-poor roads. One would almost suppose that the men who build our roads did but seldom-give the motorist any consideration. At this time ���������of the year there are all kinds of loose gravel on the roads���������or should one say loose rockn, and round onus at that. The expense of putting this kind of j-oad material down must be enormous, as tho rocks will eventually find their way to the ditches. An example of very poor road work can be seen on the Riverside-' Huntingdon road on the two corners between Matsqui and Clayburn, and should an accident occur at either .of these corners it is the belief'ol some legal opinion that the. municipality could be held responsible for damages. In,the material that was put down at these two points very large round rocks were used and in one case the corner slope is put in the wrong way.
