The Chronicle deems it inadvisable to make any eff®t to reply to the editorial reprinted from the Fergus "Newsâ€"Record" in last week‘s "Chronicle", until after the next meeting of the Grand River Conâ€" servation Commission today (Friday).

Soldiers and airmen risk their lives in an attack, but if they survive, they come back to a period of rest. The merchant seamen and sailors have a continually dangerous job with little surcease from worry. The Navy League voluntarily makes it its responsibility to "service" these more than a hundred thousand gallant men whenever they touch Our merchant seamen are uncomplaining. They wear no uniform. Their position in the dockâ€"side waiting line of applicants for work at sea, may determine whether they‘ll be sailing on a ship that will "get through", or whether they‘ll connect with a ship that has the devil‘s number on it. They gamble their lives in the Empire‘s war effort. For every story of heroism that hits the frokt pages of our newsâ€" papers, there are a thousand other stories untold The merchant seamen in his lightlyâ€"armed mere hip working that ship to a distant port, running the risk of bomb, shell, and Irachine gun fire, daily gambles with death so that our fighters, often better protected than he, may receive the food and ammunition that they need to keep the enemy at bay on a dozen different fronts. What a large portion of that price is being paid by the merchant seamenâ€"the "unsung heroes" of this war, and the men of our "silent service"â€"the Royal Canadian Navy, only those behind the scenes can fully tell. . ~ The price of liberty for the freeâ€"living people of this Province is being paid for us by the sailors, soldiers and airmen who are serving in the ranks of Canada‘s armed forces. The growing season of 1941 was abnormally dry and this condition tended to intensify the reduction in yield on the check plot, which produced the lowest yield for any year of the experiment, namely 1. tons of mangels, 14.1 bushels of oats, 0.30 tons of clover a 0.97 of timothy hay per acre. The yield of oats in this dry year on e manured and fertilized areas were higher than average. The yield of both oats and mangels were higher on the fertilized plot in 1941 than where manure had been applied. The thirty years of work has demonstrated: 1. That crop yields can be satisfactorily maintained by economical applications of commercial fertilizers. 2. That manure if available in sufficient quantities will maintain field crops at a high state of productivity. 3. That if only small amounts of manure are available, as is the case on many farms, supplementing the manure with commercial fertilizer is a practice which is highly recommended. while the yield of timothy has been 3.06, 2.59, 248 and 1.58 tons per S€28 had obscured to a considerâ€" ively.

To achieve that we must realize that freedom is not free. We must pay a high price, but it will be for those coming after us. Waterloo County has always played its part and we will continue to do so.

Peril must be faced and we must pull together to face it. This is no time for recrimination or blame. We have been blind while the enemy steadily prepared for "the day".
