AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS.

TO BRITISH DELEGATES, When the Representatives from the British Government wore recently m New York they had a wonderful reception—ft was virtually re-union of the English speaking races m the full senee of words. One of this speeches delivered by Mr Choate, form erly Ambassador to the British Government, at a reception held at New York in’.May. 1917. was lull eloquence and meaning. One n* his sentences was pregnant with meaning. He said “but to-day the question lor every young man and oveiy old man (and for every woman too) is ‘What can I best do to serve my country ?’ ” Ibis is ■ undoubtedly t tie question that everyone in New Zealand should be seriously considering themselves. It seems to many people as though we could be 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 h something that practically everyone in New Zealand can do. and that is grow part at least of his own supply ol food. Well now. let us see bow we are ,getting on with our preparation for our vegetable gardens. As soon as the ground is dry enough we will be able to plant Potatoes, early Peas, Broad Beans, {but not French Beans, as the latter must be not planted until danger of frost is over). When the ground is in thoroughly good order some smaller seeds may ho planted, including Carrots. Caubages. Lettuce, ami Onions. If you have a greenhouse yon eau plant your Tomato seed now. Last season we had a trial embracing practically all the varieties that are listed. Me eau thoroughly recommend Cooper’s Early Bird. Cooper’s Earliana and Cooper's Perfection. You can obtain your supplies of Cooper’s “Seeds ol Success” from your merchant or seedsman hut insist upon seeing the name upon the bags or the seed actually taken from the bulk. E. Cooper Ltd..
