I11 View of the partial failure of the Fall wheat crop in this Province this year it will be necessary for farmers to make early arrangements for the supply of seed which they will need for fall sowing. Under those circumstances farmers who have on hand quantities of wheat suitable for fall seeding are urged to conserve them for this purpose. If there is no demand locally, the in- formation should be supplied to this Department or to the Local Office of this Department in your County so that every effort may be made to have an equitable and satisfactory distribution. The need for foodstuffs justifies a large acreage of Fall wheat in this Province again this. year, and the cooperation of the far- mers in the mobilization and dis- tribution of the available seed sup- plies is invited. , n\T'I` hF`.P l`.

Seagulls, like the land birds on the western front, do not appear to fear the sights and sounds of war. The booming of cannon and the tur- moi] of conict do not create any alarm in their feathered breasts. From time immemorial, writes a correspondent to the Scotsman, sea birds have apparently consider- ed ships as universal providers of food, and observers have reported that after a heavy sea-fight the sea- gulls collect in .housands\ and dash down, quite undeterred by the con- flict, to feed upon the vast quanti- ties of small shes that, killed by the concussion, oat upon the sur- face of the sea. Even before the battle is over the "reaming gulls settle down to their I-east aLnid.the drifting wreckage and horrors of a sea.-ba.tt_l.e. Seaplanes and airships cause them no tears, and after the battle of Heligolan-d the British rescuers of the German sailors said that overhead the Zeppelins oated in mid-air raining disaster upon their boats, while all around them the gulls fought and struggled for the fish that dotted the surface of the sea quite unheeding the boats or airships. If, however, airshlps do not alarm the seagulls, they are considerably perturhedbhy the pres- ence of submarines. In fact, it is possible to tell by the behaviour of gulls where a submarine is pass- ing under water. Their greatest dan- ger lies in the depth of the sea from sharks and such marauders of the deep, and no doubt to them a sub- marine is an enormous shark. A ock of gulls will wheel and scream over the spot, ying off suddenly with every evidence of dismay, and will not return until the intruder has departed."

LELGUES, French Minis- ter of the Viarine, says the submarine campaign is de- clining. In actual losses, that is clear. It is evident that the Germans still want their people to have faith in the ruthless campaign. In this connection the delayed de-- spatch from Berlin, gi-ving Admiral von Cape1ie's latest statement to the Reichstag, deserves attention. He said: Our naval offensive is strong- er to-day than at the beginning of unrestricted submarine warfare. That gives us an assured prospect of nal success. The submarine war is de- veloping more and more into a strug- gle between U-hoat action and new construction of ships.
