It Takles So Little To Make A Child Happy That There Should Be No Unhappy Little Ones Here On Christmas Morning If Only We ,Woald All Realize The Privilege And Blessing Of Doing Unfo Others As We Would Like To Be

FliX FARMING’

Encouraging Address] Broadcast L a s t‘; I

Night By Hon. G. Shelton Sharp.

The following interesting and en- couraging address on “Fox Ranch- ing as a branch of mixed {arm- ing" was broadcast last evening by l-lon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Agriculture and president oi the Canadian N..tional Silver Fox Breed- ers Association:

“Mixed farming in so far as the Maritime Provinces and Eastern Canada are concerned would appear to be the only method of guanin- teeing to the farmer a reasonable return for labor expended. We see so many instances where specializr‘ ing in one particular crop has brought disaster to individuals and

where Santa Claus will ﬁnd them. And there isn’t one heart that doubts that the benevolent old saint will climb down his chimney or use a pass-key on his door. Perhaps he didn't come last year, they understand. But that is all the more reason that he will be there this year. v

Letters are going to the North Pole every day, and even switchboard operators are telling children that the‘ shining workshop where the master toy-maker lives is too far to be reached by the longest long distance. |

But when Christmas morning comes many of these same starry-eyed little boys and girls will lind that their stockings are cold and flat, unless the rest of us understand how disappointed a little child can be when he is left out of the Christmas feast.

We accuse the inkeeper who would not make room for Mary the night that the Christ child was born. But they who wound a little child by making him think that he has been forgotten break trust with life just as surely.

It takes such a little bit to make a child happy. There are enough new toys which aren’t being used in our homes to make every child wake up on the magic morning with a feeling in his heart that life is good and Santa. Claus still

communitues when that crop his been a failure or wherc there has been over production and consc- quently the crop has to be sold be- low cost of production. This does not happen in mixed farming. Pork or lambs may be low but eggs.
