AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS. TO BRITISH DELEGATES, When the representative from the 3ritisa Government were "ecently in New York they had a wonderful reception—it was virtually a re-union 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 1017, was full of eloquence and meaning. One of his sentences was pregnant with meaning. He said: " but to-day the question for every young man and every old man (and for every woman, too) is: 'What can I do best to serve my country V" This is the question that everyone in New Zealand should be seriously considering themselves. It seems to many people as though we could bo 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 iu New Zealand can do, and that is—grow part at least of his own supply of food. Well now, let us see how 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 not be planted until danger of frost is over). When the ground is in thoroughly good order some smaller seeds may be planted, including carrots, cabbages, lettuce and onions. If you have a greenhouse you can plant your Tomato Seed now: Last season we had a trial embracing practically all the varieties that are listed: We can thoroughly recotnmend Cooper' 3 Early Bird, Cooper's Earliana and Cooper's Perfection. You can obtain your supplies of Cooper's "Seeds of Success" from your merchant or seedsman, but- insist upon seeing the name upon the packets, or on the bags if from tlus bulk.—F. COOPER-, LTD., Saei Gfowere, Wollington. Q7
