AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS, TO BRITISH DELEGATES.

When the representatives from the British Government were recently in NewYork they had a wonderful reception—it was virtually a reunion of the Englishspeaking races in the full sense of the words. One of the speeches delivered by Mr. Choate, formerly Ambassador to the British Government, at a reception held at New York in May, 1!)17, was fnll of eloquence and meaning. One of Iris sentences was pregnant with meaning. He said: "Buit to-day the question for every young man and every old man (and for every -woman too) is 'What can I best do to serve my country?'" This is undoubtedly the question that everyone in New Zealand should be i-criously considering themselves. It Rcems to many people as though we could bft doing a lot more than we are in New Zealand in many ways to increase our efficiency and our production. In connection with this matter there is something that practically everyone in New Zealand can do, and that is crow pert at. least of his own supply of food. Well, now, let us seo Tiow we are getting on with our preparation for our vegetable gardeus. As soon as the ground ia dry enough we will bo able to plant potatoes, early pras, broad beans (but not French beans, as the latter must not bo planted i;nti!dsnger of frost is over). Whan tl:o j?r< imd is in thoroughly good order somo smaller seeds may be planted, including carrots, cabbages, lcKuco, and onions. If you have a greenhouse yoiii can plant ynttr tomato seeds now. Last se.ison wo had a trial embracing practically nil the varieties that are listed. Wn can thoroughly recommend Corper's Early Bird, Cooper's Earliann. and Cooper's Perfection. You can obtain your supplies of Cooper's "Seeds of Success" from youi merchant or seedsman, hint insist upon seeing fhe name upon the bags or the feed actually taken from the bulk. F. COOPKir.
