WORKING NOT TALKING

The Stewart Government is not haying much, but it is doing very rnuch..

The sitccessful farmer today is the one who handles only the lines which he knows are profit- able. He discovered years ago that shipping common ‘potatoes and oats and hay was an unilroflflblfi business and he gave it up. Now he feeds them to his stock, sells the finished products in butter. cheese, pork, eggs, and at the same time enriches his soil. He has dis- covered than he cannot compote with the West in growing com- m.'"cial oats and he nJiv groivs oats for seed only and ‘gen-i a pro- {liable price fir‘ it.

he is said now to fully realize. Mr. Drury appears to have neither ac- cepted nor declined the western in- vitation, and is awaiting the meat- ing of his party in convention next Janunry before making a decision.

Mr. Drury has suffered great ion of preatige from the Ontario defeat but is still indisputably the ablest public man among the organized farmers, and it seems to be expect- ed that he will accept the western offer and enter the federal arena. He has been credited with a desire to bring about a fusion of the Unit- ed Farmers with the federal Lib- eral party, but to this many of the Ontario farmers are opposed. and it is quite noteworthy that in the provincial election those United Farmers, most of whom hm] first been Liberals, did not return tothe Liberal fold when they turned away from following Driiry, but cast thnir votes for the Conservative candi- dates. In no other way can the crushing defeat of both Libel-his and Farmers be explained.
