EDITORIAL 
Tu opening of another year brings with 
it potentialities of things that may be con- 
sidered good bad or indifferent. Every man 
will look at these things from his own 
point of view first always. That is human 
nature, and it cannot be altered. But there 
are men who are ‘‘the salt ef the earth,” 
whose line of vision goes beyond themselves 
and they wonder how others are or may 
be affected by their use of things, meaning 
opportunities. Now the mission of the 
“Australian Gardener,” while not pretend- 
ing to philanthropic means of living, gives 
information rnd advice which rigidly fol- 
lowed is always for gocd. Nothing indif- 
ferent or bad can come of it. It enjoys 
the happy distinction of working always 
for the best in human andall other kinds of 
nature. Notasingle line in the publication 
can be construed otherwise. Differences 
of opinion there always will be, but that 
is unavoidable and is in itself a real good, 
because such differences make for the so- 
lution of diffculties in production from 
nature. Here is a list of some of the con- 
tents in our New Year issue, and our 
readers will freely admit that the infor- 
mation given is all as good as can be :—
