very- greatest importance to this country u they are the wroxig ones then the people of canada will have to face a situation in which conditions will bo infinitely worse than they are at present it they are the right ones then it can be predicted with confidence that tho conference f ill mark tho turning point in a return to better times agriculture is the basic industry of this country unless agriculture is prosperous other industries can not be prosperous it is therefore allimportant that the welfare of canadian agriculture bo the prim ary consideration of the canadian delegates at the conference up until the present the federal government has had no intimation from agriculture as to what line of policy it wants it to follow other industries have been in close touch with the government for months past but so far tho voice of the greatest industry of all lias not been heard from this being so it is feared that canadian agriculture will reoeivo but scant consideration fcnd that a policy may be pursued under these circumstances of putt ing first things last and last things first which will result in hitter dis appointment it is obviously of para- side that all educdl mount importance that such a thing public school should i be prevented and the question is wliat aro farmers going to do about it that great canadian statesman sir john a macdonald once said that farmers ask for nothing and the cost of supply- 1 get nothing from governments this and college educa- j on too true farmers have ask ed for nothing from the present government and they have got nothing tho blame for this it must be said in all fairness rests not witli the government but on farmers themselves if tho imperiil confer ence is to be the success everybody hopes it will be farmers must lie heard from in no uncertain manner in order to give the farmers of ontario quebec and other provinces this opportunity the educational secretary of the united farmers of ontario is arranging for a deputa tion of farmers to wait on pre mier bennett and ills colleagues and indicate to them what they waul done at the coming conference this meeting will take place a week be fore the conference opens tho conference opens on july 21 and present plans are that this meeting will take place on july 16 this would mean that farmers living in western ontario could leave homo on friday evening be in ottawa on saturday for tho meeting and get homo again on sunday morning in this way only one day would be lost we have been asked to give publicity to this matter and we aro happy to do so the only justifica tion for the existence of canadian countryman is to serve farmers and we are therefore glad to support any movement plan or policy that will result iu a betterment of farm conditions we would urge as many of our readers as possible to make arrangements to be present at this meeting the greater the number of farmers who go to ottawa the more certain it is that the meeting with tho prime minister will result in something really worth while being done at tho imperial conference to improve the financial condition of agriculture there is no reason why the ladies should he left behind go to ottawa yourself and take your wife with you tho meeting will only take up an hour or two and you will have the rest of the day to see the sights of tho capital city it will be a case of combining business with pleasure we assume that those who are arranging this meeting will have the cooperation of the railways to the fullest possible extent as tho railways undoubtedly realize that their success depends on tho wel fare of agriculture the railways have been putting on excursions re cently from toronto to montrealtlie ordinary return fare from toronto to montreal is 2070 the excur sion return faro has been 5 the ordinary return fare from toronto to ottawa is 1530 so en this basis tho railways should he willing to give farmers a return fare of around 4 from toronto to ottawa with a corresponding reduction from other points in order to facilitate matters it is desirable that thoso who intend to take advantage of his oppor tunity write a letter or postcard to educational secretary of the ufo telling him tint they will ho there address your communication to the educational secretary united farmers of ontario 2s duke street toronto ontario and indicate how many there will bo in your party and whether you will bo going to ottawa by train or by automobile this should be done as soon as possible wo may say that this on to ottawa movement has nothing political about it it is being organ ized because it is felt that thero is a job to bo done for the farmers of this country that must bo done and done adequately if the standard of living not only on

that his hand was so full ho could not withdraw it so in the errd he had to drop them all in order to free ills hand that is true today in many ways we vere reading of the whaling business to day years ago men in small boats used to hunt whales and they cast harpoons by hand that gave the whale a fighting chance and the number of whales remained suffi cient in more recent years the method changed and the harpoon was shot from the deck of the boat out of a gun then they started to use these guns on speed boats and the whale had a very poor chance the business of catching whales has been speeded up we had applied j what wo term our methods of effic iency our ability to catch whales had greatly increased but the avail able supply had not increased at all the result is that all this elabor ate equipment or much of it is now idle and nations are making laws to limit the number of whales to he taken our mad craze to speed up everything is often just a nice way of referring to
