Mr. G. Le Lacheur, Seed Branch, Ot-
tawa, has just completed inspection of the field root and vegetable seeds being grown in the Province. He spent some time here last summer interesting growers partic- ularly in the Swede turnip seed crop and reports that this year’s seed yield will run over ten thousand pounds. Smaller quanti- ties of mangel seed, garden beet, cabbage and parsnip seed are also being grown.
Mr. Walter Jones, Bunbury, has seven
acres of swede seed from which he expects over' four thousand pounds. His mangel seed will yield at the rate of 1,000 lbs. per acre. Mr. Jas. Norton, Annandale, has a three-quarter acre plot of swede seed which will give ov-er 600 lbs. The plots of Messrs Edward Bulpitt, Cardigan, W. J. McLean and P. I-I, Lyle, Central Lot 16, are also worthy of special mention. Mr., Jas. E. Murphy, Augustine Cove, is one of the pioneer growers of these seeds, and has a very select product. '
These are biennial crops, that is the
roots are produced one season and planted out next spring for a seed crop. This year sufficient little roots or rootlings of the turnip are being grown to give over 30,000 pounds of seed next year with an average yield. The seed is. in great demand at pro- fitable prices both in Canada and the Uni- ted States as supplies are practically cut off from Europe.
The bulk of Canadian grown seed of
mangel, sugar beet, and the tender veget- able seeds, such as tomato and onion, are being produced in Western Ontario and British Columbia. But the maritime pro- vinces are well adapted to the growing of turnip, cabbage, parsnip and garden beet seed. There will be about 160 acres of sweed and fall turnip seed in this district next year.

'HIE WAR _
With news of continuous victory in the
air the optimists are again setting dates for the end of the war. We note that cer- tain American ofiicers have expressed the opinion that the war will be over by Christmas-unless the German high com- man succeeds in stiffening up its lines and bringing Marshal Foch’s drive to an end.
The War reports since the middle _ ,of
July certainly justify the utmost optim- ism. Since Foch began his counter offen- sive he has carried out a continuous series of amazing successes which must have struck terror into the hearts of the Ger- mans. The extent of the terror is indicated by the enormous numbers of prisoners taken, suggesting the idea that many of them perfer surrender to fight, that they are hopeless and anxious to have the -whole thing over and done with.
On the other hand we must remember
that the German High Command are, by their own confession faced with two alter- natives, absolute defeat and loss of pres- tige at the hands of their enemies or worse at the hands of their own people. Both these alternatives are now clearly visible- to the German High Com- mand. With the alternatives, black as they are, there is the human hope that some-. thing may happen. To fight on then in- the hope that something will happen is the German programme at present and noth- ing will prevent this except a turn over in German _and the possibility of this is very remote. _ - » When we remember that millions of men are yet available in Germany and- Austria` and that the German people as a whole have learned the lesson so persistently dinned into their ears since long before the war began, namely, that the war was forc- ed upon-them' by nations jealous of their greatness, we cannot conceive of their ab- andoning the struggle until they are com- pelled to. The outrages known to and in- stigated by the higher command are, to the common people of Germany, but tit for tat for what they believe their enemies are doing to them. They have been taught, and the great majority of them believe, that they are the innocent victims of the wick- edness o t ti e to

poisoning because their enemies began it;
that hospital ships 'which were sunk by Germausswere in reality ammunition and troopships falsely sailing under the sign of Red Cross. Their inherent hatred of Eng- land supplies all the otherincentives to carry on the war as- long as they have a leg _to__st_.a1id`on and they may be depended upon to do it, _
Talk of peace or of an early end of the
war is premature. We are not yet near the end. The defeat of 'Germany is in sight, is n the way but is as yet far from accom-
ive ho`stilities.will_-be practically ata stand still. We may hope that next summer may :ee a definite beginning, perhaps the com- iletion, of the end. In the meantime any talk of an early end is mischevious and will tend to a relaxation of effort. The war will not end until our armies get into Ger- nany and there is a long and a hard way /et to go before they get there. What we, ieed now is to discuss war, not peace, to 'irepare for war and more war, not for iuitting. We shall need all our strength ‘zo get into Germany and no less to finish “he job satisfactorily after we have got there.

TIIE C()MING VI(7'1‘ORY LOAN
'ii
A Maritime Province paper _discloses
ieed for greater public information, says ;he Ottawa Journal, by seriously express- 'ng doubt as to the country’s ab1l1ty_to :ope as successfully with the coming Vic- tory Loan as-with previous issues. As a natter of truth the Dominion will “go ov- er the top” to meet the new loan financial- ‘y stronger than at any time since the be- 'ginning of thewar. One fact alone may be :ited in proof of this. At the present time leposits in the savings bank of the coun- ry are greater than they were at the be- :inning of the war by the enormous am- >unt of $250,000,000.
__,___) 0_(____.._ SAYS \VIIEl\'l` NOT NECESSARY
Wheat is not necessary, says A. E. Tay-
'or, M. D., U. S. Food Administrator. We ire accustomed to regard wheat as a more ir less indispensible article of diet. It isn’t it is.an article of luxury, and absolutely iothing else. Wheat possesses over oats, :orn and rice absolutely no nutritional luality for man or beast. It has no more irotein, and no better protein. It has no, nore fat, and no better fat. It has no min- :ral salt better or in larger amounts. It ias no more fuel or better fuel. It is just me of the cereals, and there isn’t the ilightest evidence that it is the best one, `>ecause so far. as comparative tests are :oncerned in animals, it isn’t the best one; t is very far from the best one.
AN Ui\']_)IVIDED PEOPLE
Only unprofitable discord can arise from
,he assumption that the rural and the ur- ian population of Canada have conflicting nterests. Any effort to stimulate produc- ion, whether agricultural or industrial, is if advantage tot-he whole country. The _iresent time gives a shining example. Ev-_I :ryone will admit that the growth of the nunitions industry in Canada has had a great part in bringing the lively prosper- ty we now enjoy. According to the demagogues who seek 0 set the farmer against the factory man he latter is getting all the advantages K et actually the farmer was never in a ietter financial position. Prices are high, ind despite the cost of labor the experien-
ced man upon the land is “doing well.”‘
There is accumulating evidence to show that in an ‘economic sense this is one peo- ple. Men who produce have no complaints. They find a ready market and exalted val- ues. Whether their production is from a factory or a farm the same rule applies.

"HOW SHALL I CHOOSE A VOC-
ATION?" asks Richard. Get a num- ber of character readings from the best availablereaders. Compose and classify these and-meditate. Consult your own predllections. Ask yourself "In what - calling ‘can I enter with greatestzest How do I feel inward- ly moved?" “There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth him understanding". Do noi decide hastily; aslcfGod'and consult some recognized authority on Vocat- ional Training.
