PAGE TWO I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend‘to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. After months of prophecies and anxieties, the dominion governâ€" ment has made its report on the Canadian Wheat crop for this year, and has announced it to the world as the greatest ever produced in Canada. The crop, according to this report, will exceed 550,000,000, the first time in the country’s history that it has ever exceeded the half-billion mark. Surely of all the countries in the world, Canada has good cause to give thanks to Divine providence for the conditions which have made this crop posSible, for it means much to the prosper- ity of Canada and its people. Wealth createfl from the soil is new wealth, a new addition to the material resources which have become a- vailable to the people of the dominion for their enjoyment. The proâ€" duction of the crop has meant hard work, work intermingled with anâ€" xiety as to whether the favorable conditions would continue, but that work would have been fruitless had Providence not blessed it with weather conditions which ripened at an early date the greatest Canad- ian wheat crop, and permitted it to be harvested with a minimum of ian V loss. DIFFERING OPINIONS It is quite natural that persons who have decided opinions on any subject should try to bring everyone else to their way of thinking. In their zeal to vindicate their own opinions many refuse to admit that there may be some virtue in the contentions of those who hold different views. In cases where the issue is a clearâ€"cut one, involving right and wrong, it may be that an uncompromising attitude is justified, But who shall sayjust what is right and what is wrong? Ideas concerning right and wrong change with the times. Not so many years ago some of the most cultured and enlightened people in the world believed that human slavery was legitimate and prpper. George Washington was one of them; at least he was a larâ€" ge slave-owner as long as he lived. We think it wrong today. ' Owing to the unsatisfactory state of law observance at the time, Sir Robert Peel in 1828 took steps tovfiard the organization of an efi'ec- tive police force for the British metropolis. Its first headquarters at Scotland Yard was furnished with only a table and two chairs, but its facilities were rapidly expanded and the force was soon recruited to aâ€" bout 3,000 men. o~ If everyone had agreed with such ideas and no one had ever must- ered up the courage to combat them, We should have made little pro- gress. We would still be burning witches. . .. .. ... q 1.. What is needed in the world is not that we should all think alike, but that we should have a greater feeling of tolerance and respect for the opinions of others when honestly held, no matter how much they may differ from our own. The average normal person is really seeking for the truthâ€"but the truth is often elusive and.each must find ‘it in his own way. For a century the police force of London, operating from headquart- ers in famed Scotland Yard, has held an enviable record for efficiency, although in its early years the organization was far from popular with the public. ~ Feeling that the new powers conferred upon the police constituted an undue restriction of liberty, hooting crowds reviled the new force. calling them obnoxious names, including those of “Bobbies” and “Peel- ers,” which have persisted to this day. These names,_of course, were derived from that of their sponsor, Robert Peel. As an illustration of the effectiveness of the present force, it has been pointed out that in a recent year only 15,662 crimes were report- ed in London, while 333,083 were noted in the less populous city of New York. The efficiency of Scotland Yard detectives is'proverbial, and comparatively few London murderers go unpunisned. This probably accounts for the fact that while the yearly homicide rate in London is only about 1 in 100,000, in several cities of the Unit- ed States it runs more than 50 times as high, and averages more than 10 times as high in the country at large. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Syril A. Parker. Editor of the Longview (Texas) Daily News, says:â€" THAT advertising in newspapers is one of the most effective ways of reaching the rural people. THAT circulars addressed to “Box Holder” in nearly every instan- ce are thrown aside unread. , THAT the people realize only the best products and merchandise are advertised in the papers. THAT the neWspaper is the public’s buying guide. THAT newspaper advertising is the only reliable means of competâ€" ing with the mail-order house. THAT newspaper advertisements are read. Doubtful Thomases have tried and are convinced that such advertising pays. THAT a newspaper advertisement is a good investment. THAT if advertisers were not pleased with results obtained, there would be no such thing today as a newspaper, THAT newspaper advertising is essential to the progress of a toxvn and its busilress establishments. THAT every firm should have at least its signature in the paper every day. ‘1‘”; guJ. H PRICE AND QUALITY ARE SIAMESE TWINS IN THE MER- [HAN ISING FIELD.

' DO YOU REMEMBER This Week of 1899 When a joint Ladies Aid Society of Buttonville and Unionville opened its meeting at the home of Mrs. W.J. Fierheller. When' the Patrons of the Maple Cheese factory held a meeting in the Masonic Hall, Maple, when they made arrangements - to sell their milk to Mr. Hopkins during the winter mon- ths. When a large number from Maple asSembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Saigeon to spend a pleasant evening with them prior to their de- parture for Richmond Hill. A pleas- ant feature of the evening’s entertain- ment was the presentation of a handâ€" some banquet Iamp to Mr. and Mrs. Saig'eon. I ' Seldom has the root crop given as good promise as now for a bumper yield. The weather seems to have suited both mangels and turnips, and some record yields are looked for at harvesting time. Weather that has favored the growing of these roots has also shot the weeds ahead at a rapid 'pace. When driving through the country one will see root fields that are clean, but others will show a lot of pigweed and foxtail. These weeds may not materially affect the yield of the crop, but they do detract from the appearance. In the turnip growing section the early crop is a- bout ready to lift. EAVORABLE WEATHER HAS R: SULTED IN GOOD PROMISE FOR A BUMPER YIELD THIS YEAR Turnips are a cash crop with many farmers. They are loaded and shipâ€" ped to the Southern States for table use. The price varies from year to year, but the grower gets but a frac- tion of what the consumer pays. The freight haul to market is expensive. When 25 or 30 cents a bushel is paid, farmers consider that they are gett- ing a very fair price, but occasional- ‘ly the price is either above or below this. ROOT CROPS ARE REPORTED GOOD A medium sized turnip with the roots and top neatly trimmed is reâ€" quired. There is a tendency in a seaâ€" son like the present for the turnips to be larger than the trade calls for, or to be too rough. As a rule the overâ€" size and rough turnips are culled out and used for the cattle. Where 600 or 700 bushels to the acre of smooth, uniform-sized turnips are grown and a reasonable price can be secured, the crop pays very well. There is, however, considerable work in grow- ing and marketing a crop. This year 'the crop Seems to be particularly free from insect pests and it is doubtful if any damage will be done from now on. The turnip growing area in On- tario is probably limited to the coun- ties of Brant, Oxford, Wentworth, Waterloo, Wellington and a strip in DO YOU REMEMBER THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO “WAY.

There is considerable labor entailed in growing a crop of turnips or man- gels, but considering ‘ the yield and their value as a live stock feed it is a question if one can afford not to have a. few roots for winter feeding. It is one of those oldâ€"time farm crops that will have to be resumed before we are farming as well as our fathers. Where a farmer has good alfalfa or clover hay and a supply of mangels or turnips he does not need to worry much about the stock thriving. Bolton . . . Alliston ..
