Since the issuing of Bylletin No. 5,. the asp~ct ~ ttie . ~'ood problem, not alone in Newfoundland, but througn.._

, oyt nearly all Europt ari'll N.orth America, has become mu~h more acute, and ~ the advent of the plantipg sea• son· is at hand tile A.griculturat Board .realizes tllat a plain statement of actual conditions should be placed before the country. being convinced that if it is fully understood how urgent is the necessit~,. t~ country w.ill-do its fuU share towards the further and absolutely necessary in~rease ot production of all cr0ps in the present year---and in this alone appears now to be our chief hope of safety from most serious consequences. .. .

.In its Report tor the year 1914, an<;! a~aj·n in the Re- · · port for .the years 1915. and.16, the Agricultural Board

warned the· country of the necessity for preparation for the alarming condttion of things that now copfronts us, and the Board · • i~ · to

~~w~ed by~e~hple Emp!re, - ,-"'.., ... ,_a&:lQ~fi.fitJlin: ,~~Jimd we, 'by vtrtue of our betng

Y.~~Dit)' of a Dominionl in recog· in ca~ of ~mpire, !Ire now an

in worl ..:i!tdling chain of :British D~-................. and-it :sin urt.d>i ~ u~n us to live up to the ob­

ligatlODS and to make 1 he ~crifices therefor that loyalty and devotion to the Emprr~ and its traditions demand and

~ that all the otheor Dominion.; are so cheerfully making. t t •

· .Famine alone can cause tile 'Empire to lose in the present war. Th.e safety of the peoples· of the Dominions is of the same consequences as are those of the Motht!r­land. and famine conld compel the Empire to sacrifice it- · self to save any oue of those peoples as readily as to save. those of the Home Countries.

I

Hundreds of our own nobl~ volunteers have ghed

their blood and made the Supreme Sacrifice in our defence. · $ince this war was declared and we would be unworthy of

the sacrifi .. ce~they hav!! made if we fail to take the neces­sary pre~.a·.1tions to guard against our being the meaas of

, ~ n,.ullifyinR the great work they have done, and this we will be, collectively ·and individually, guilty CJf doing if our failure to protect Qurselves from the famine that will come if we make not the required effort to stave i~ off, and

· thus cause the ~mpire's surrend~r in order to 5ave us. Such a result would stamp us, and those from whom we have sprung, with an eternal disgrace.

We can all picture to ourselves what would happen .. §f the p~ople of this country, or any considerable num.ber of them, were but a single week without laread, or an ac­ceptable substitute therefor and it now amounts almost to a certainty th~t we will not be able to procure sufficient .flQ.ur to provide for our wants~ throu~hrt the. whole

preserit year. . _ : . · '

'The most acceptable substitute for flour that we can pro­vide is t}le potato, and if we but make the effort that both prudence and patriotism demand, we can produce a suffici­ency of potatoes that, with our aburtflant supply of fish food, will safely protect ps from -the absolute hunger that would force on the Empire th~ dire consequences indicated. ·

../

If our indifference .tQ our own pressing needs cause the Empire to lose the war we are now waging in the interest of humanity, of liberty and of christianity, we can be accused of having needlessly sent our Volunteers, who have died for us, to their deaths. Our paramount duty, therefore, in the pres­ent year~ is for everyone owning ~ plot of~nd to plant it ful­ly, giving a preference to potatoes~ Glir own individual interests, our Country's, and the Empire's interests are de­pendent upon our doing this. Thus"'t'an we *best do honour to the memories of our soldier dead--they g 3ve their lives to save us ; let us, therefore,' now do what we may to assure it that they have not died in vairt

Never fore Ia · hlatory bu a war been plalsoed like this. Hitb_erto alt~ar• have had some aort ~f pretext of right or impulee, otr"' pauaou. It baa beea reae~ed to the·Germaa Military party top~ wilfully aad waatoQI~ a ~eat cri~gaiust the- peace of 'ma~ldad.

And the hypocrasy wath wbiPGermauy :aupporta the crime makes i t still more abominable. ·As Judas treated the Christ, Ger- · many is treatiag Ci.,iJiaatioa . . Uader appeals to God, Germany masks tbe' utmost miJJgaities of the devil. The German natioa to­day kaows no law except that ·of the pagaa, the liar, the ravis her, the murdere r. They are,t curse to let loose oa the world, And t1ie ta.sk demanded of us is to fight aad conquer thia curse just as ia our moral life we are bound* fight aad conquer Sia • . The Cause is a far broader and holier Cause tbaa that. wbic:~ impelled the Crusaders against the Saracens. '

• We may thank God that tbe greats nations of the •orld -have realized t)le justice of tbe Cause ; aad I bellue that every man in Ne~fotlailhad will one day be thankful that he was;t least·a.snd to face this ~eatiou~" II it not my bigber; duty to go out and sue humanity from deelructiou ? 1

... Remem~r that your wives, your children, your cottages, your

boats, ar~ in positive danger if the Germaaa break through iaFraoce. As be is treatiq the feolish Russians, 10 be will treat every nation· ht! touches-America, Canada, Newfoundland, are t9 him mere objec· tlvea for his greedf brutalitJ. He is eatirely evil, he ha.s no sense of Right and no•feel\prs of Mercy.

Tbi• mass or iacaroate sel~aen is held back by tbe stroag arm Qf the Allies ia Fran~. w.u:(aay man or British race decline to do all be c:aa to defeat aud crush it ?

At thls momeat the need is a_peciall1 great, for the Germans are now desperate. They beil'b to realiee {be truth of that dread decree: 11 He that take.! the a11ord, ahall perish 1fith lbe sword." At

1no

horror "f!illlhey hesitate if they can but eacape the punishment that h~ili~~ .

Now on e~ry man aad womaa amoag ua Ilea the duty to bear-a hand Ia administrating tbK....paa ishment-a duly not oaly to our· selve.s, .)nlt to poaterlty. If age or health prevent some of as from goior, they do not prevent us~ f(om following the greatest example ever eet fo mankiad and-makiag tbe sacrifice or th.t.t which is dear· ~ eat to our bearte. '

You youor mea I aek to Uet1!'u carefully to the appeal• which I ,..m once more be made to you In tbe aext few weeka. Believe me

that tbe voluatary aot of a mau, Impelled by the blrb eeaee of duty, Ia far aobler than t6e mere obedience to tbe provialoae of a public: ea· actment.

One special word i say to womea. Try to reallee the aufferiags of women ancl cbildrea wherever tbe Ge~a1 come : tblak of the little ch1ldreu atarved Ia Bela'fum -.d elaUKhtued ia cold blood ia .~rmenia. Let your mea folf ataad out aad protect you, for in belp­iar to defeat the Germaaa they are protectiag the lioaor and safety of all their deat oau at home. ...J ..
