1t is interesting to note that the Dominion Department of Agriculture has officially approved the following scale of necessary farm labor: Where 50 mcres are unrder cultivation, one man and one boy should be left on the Farm; for 100 acres, 2 men or one man and two boys over 14 years of age; for 150 acres, two men and one boy over 14 years of age; for 2o§ acres, . ‘This question of farm labor has been one of the most difficult problemE® with which either the Local or Appeal Tribunals have had to deal, and there mppears to have been a rather general tendency to get out of the difficulty I' exempting all farmers. It is certain, from what was said during the ‘qbln.ul on the Military Service Act, in Parliament. that it was never the intention either of the Government or Parliament to exempt a farmer as a farmer. It was very clearly stated that each case should be considered on its own merits, from the point of view of the national interest. Farmers were to be exempted where it was clear that they were more needed on the ‘farm than at the front; but it certainly was never contemplated that no Yarmer, whatever his circumstances, was to be drafted for military service. It should be selfâ€"evident that the fimal test must be actual production. lll on any given farm it can be proved that production must be reduced if a certain man is taken for military service, that man should be left on the farm. _ If on the other hand, there remains on the farm sufficient laBor tt earry on the work of the farm after a son ‘Or a laborer is taken, that man should assuedly go into the army. . The personal element bas no more Tight to be considered in the case of a farmer than in the case of any other citizen. 1f a farmer‘s son or a farm laborer is taken for military service, it may mean that those remaining on the land may have to work harder to keep up the _ standard of production, but that is exactly what is being done in the: ¢ities. _ Men are being taken from one business or another, and those who remain are doing their part by shouldering the additional burden. In fact the sooner we all realize that this war is a mighty grim and serious fact, and that it is up to cvery man and woman in the country to make sacrifices, the sooner will we reach the only practical working basis. ©‘‘It is gratifying to know that all farmers‘ representatives and all miliâ€" tfidrepreaenuuves connected with the Appeal Tribunals have been adâ€" oÂ¥ of the above decision of the Department of Agriculture, and instructed to govern themselves accordingly. * The value of production in Canada last year from field crops, forests, mines and fisheries was approximately $1.507,687,000, compared with $1,275,â€" 734,812 in 1916, according to estimates of The Monetary Times in its Annual number, just published. _ The details for the past two years are printed below, the figures for 1917 being necessarily to some extent estimates of government departments and of the publication named, but well within the mark, as previous estimates have shown:â€" Primary production. 1916. 1917.

H‘ breaking of of peace negotiations between Russia and ~“ummnumumummmmn 6 the negotiations to the neutral soil of Stockhoim, has given fresh the Entente Allies that their former ally may not betray them by of a separate peace. New York Times, in discussing the situation says it is the Ukrainâ€" the Bolsheviki, who have saved Russia for the time being trom the of a separate peace with Germany. Until the Ukrainians arrived at and told the German negotiators that they would sccept no arranged at a conference where they were not represented, Troizky 8 Bolshevigi were walking trustfully and with smiles straight into the n trap. ‘They had disbanded their army, all thought of resistance was end, the troops still remaining at the front were fraternizing with the a brisk trade was going on across the frontier, and the botels at were filled with German and Austrian officers, giving all tt;‘ enâ€" : in their power to the Bolsheviki. There was not a hint of objecâ€" the German terms, which had been deftly presented in a way to faciâ€" the execution of the Bolsheviki plan of a separate peace. the Ukrainians came to Brestâ€"Litovsk and made their position , to the Germans. They would recognize no peace in the making 0% they were not officially represented. This was a surprise and a shock he Germans. They had assumed that they were negotiating with Russia ; t discovered that the Bolsheviki were not Russia, only a little fraction and p‘pno:mut!ve. The Germans were forced to show their hand, prematureâ€" bn»r thara san ho no doubt that later on. in their own way, at their own Twentyâ€"five thousand German soldiers are reported to have deserted in n body on the castern front. The evidences that the manâ€"power of the Cenâ€" tral Powers is becoming weary ‘of the war are increasing almost daily. "The British people have never aimed at the breaking up of the German veoples or the disintegration of their state," is the assurance given to the \:erman people by Premier Lioyd George. Will the kaiser allow his subjécts t learn of this? QC'» Dominion Prohibition Committee of Winnipeg, proposes a referenâ€" um 0# permanent prokibition to be taken during the year subsequent to the declaration of peace. By that time public opinion will be so strongly arrayâ€" eJ on the side of prohibition after an experience of its benefits, that a referâ€" vndum may seem an unnocessary expense. f1 31 _ RUSSIA SAVED FROM SEPARATE PEACE. ‘The present mild spell gives the railways and dealers a chance to get ght up. unless / §h class printing, English and awmumuuw sokly Newspaper, published every Thurada DAVID BEAN & S0N8, LIMITED HEAVY PRODUCTION LAST YEAR.
