NOVELTY. l ! One of the needs of life forlexlieryone is! novelty. Sumeness oppresses the spirit and dulls the mind. People complain" of the V tread-mill of existence, of the monotony of- toil. They long for something exciting, something new. Excitement is of the es- sence of novelty; on novelty depends ex- citement. And excitement of some sort `people? must have; and if they can't have Ihealthy excitement, they are likely to pro- cure for_ themselves unhealthy excitement. In-rnvlnr n `:hul" nnnnlfxf n rnun tlr-on nnf UUIU I\ll_ DIIUIIIBCIVCB I-IIILICGIUAIJ Cl\Ul|-CAIICIILH Inorder to find. novelty" a man does not have to seek change of scene. He does not even need change of occupation. Nor is V it necessary to turn from old friends and comrades and take up with new ' ones.i Anyone of those measures may offer nov-l elty and produce excitement. but it may be at too great an expense. There is novelty to be had almost without risk or cost and 'sure to yield a profit. The excitement that it -offers is notimmediately stirring, yet it may lead to undrearned-of opportunities. It is novelty that requires for its uncovering some force ofpcharacter, some n ntal ini- tiative and ambition. How maiiiy` people that complain of the staleness and the mon- otony of their lives ever undertake to learn I any new thing? Indeed, how many people, Ewhether they complain of monotony or `not, ever voluntarily take up and pursue a new study outside elds that are admit- tedly those of recreation---as golf, dancing. automobiling or bridge? .Yet there is in the pursuit of learning, whether the_ field is history or natural , history, science or languages, a novelty with attendant pos- sibilities of excitement that may not come! to those who freely indulge themselves in. sport or in travel.

British, European and Turkishvdele-i gates sat elbow to elbow at a wonderful. -banquet. and exchanged compliments and praises. In Constantinople Turkish and British, French and "Italian military units exchanged _salutes'fol1owing` which the 211-; lied` forces made haste to complete theirl prepararions for evacuation of occupiedi Turkish territory. One wonders if -any of these diplomats of the allies remembered the 'declaration made during the war that the [Turk would be driven out of Europe and [deprived of authority over Constantinople for ever, or whether a thought was given Yo, the Armenians _ and other Christians. The Turk has won a great victory, indeed.l over the so-called Christian powers forl which the latter may yet have to pay a higher price thangthey have already; paid. lOnl_v Jugo-Slavia. of all `the interested na tions. refused to sign the treaty. and that because she refused to bind herself to "pay- ing that part of the Turkish debt assigned ) toiformer Turkish territory she now holds". ` 4. l All semblance of a government has dis- appeared in China. The result is a condi- tion of chaos which will sooner or later compel the powers to take energetic action. Japan stands silent and watchful, very cor- rect and proper in her attitude toward her undisciplined neighbor. The other powers are beginning to understand that China is as yet incapable of standing alone, and that Japan was right in the prediction that ruin and V-anarchy 'would follow the withdrawal of Japanese troops from various sections and the policy of do nothing" which the other powers have adopted. Lack of ade- quate transportation facilities 'and of firm and honmt government have done more . to wreck the hopes of a regenerated China than anything else.

(Experimental Farm Notes) 1' The reason for thinning the set of apples; 4 on a tree is to reduce the number of low; 5 grade apples. Inferior apples may be duei to insect or fungus injury, over-production! on a spur resulting in a lack of size and unial ] formity, or faulty pollination. The object; 1 of thinning, therefore. is to removedefective; fruits and also some of those growing in; I clusters. so that the `remaining apples willl `grow larger, of a greater uniformity and? of a better colour- It is important to havel 1-a good set of fruit, but it is impossible in` general to expect. a tree with a heavy set of fruit to mature a high percentage of first grade apples. One often , notices` a lheavily laden tree, producing remarkably; unifhrin apples, -and this is possible on at very vigorous tree growing under favour-_ able conditions. In most cases. however, 4 if the set is good. thinning of the fruit is I necessary if the No. 3 apples are largely to be eliminated, as they should be. There! certainly is little if any profit in inferior` fruit. and the expense of thinning is offset .by not having this fruit to pick and handle. { .u'-_- -1.-. .1... ....:.i,n.'. ..t nun--nan ---..-..-'- ... .`...-_ France is undertaking a series of strate- gic railways in her African possessions. in: addition to other public works on a large: `scale, in those regions.

July in Nova Scotia, or soon after the drop of ineffectively pollinated apples has taken place. This drop very often thins the `apples adequately--in some cases-too much-mak- , ing it unnecessary to remove any but thel deformed or diseased fruits. The second i or third week in July, when the apples are . one-half to three-quarters of an inch in diameter, is as late as thinning should be done, for at this time the drop has been completed and the remaining apples are be- ginning to receive the benefit of this re- ` moval. If the set is heavy the apples should `be thinned to only one in a cluster; or in extreme cases some clusters might `be en- tirely removed. It is sometimes claimed that fru-its should be at least four inches apart; some growers say six inches, and others contend that eight inches is close enough. Tests made on Ben Davis trees at Kentville show that 23 per cent. of the `apples were removed when the fruit was th-inned to four inches apart, 22 per cent. when thinned to one fruit to a cluster and` 36 -per cent. when thinned to six inches apart. ~ `It is nnnncanru fn rnmnvn tlm `fruit with apart. It is necessary to remove the fruit with a pair of small pruning shears made for that purpose. The work can be done rap- idly and without any injury to the remain- ing fruit, which is impossible if the fruit is pulled off by hand. A light ladder such as is used for picking fruit is satisfactory. It is found that a fairly good job can be` done in an hour on a. tree `likely to produce from eight to ten barrels. - \ , t"|,,--,_,. -442..- ___:A`. - l ID trihesmen. gnu...

No. 2 23.8 per cent. 38.65 per cent. ' No. 3 5.6 per cent. 16.13 per cent. ` Gulls .5 per cent. 3.22 per cent. From the above it will be seen that where the fruit is thinned, there is a great in- crease in the percentage of No. 1 fruit, many of the No. 2 apples going into that grade, and that No. 3 apples are` almost entirely eliminated. The fact that the No. 2 apples are raised to No. 1 s accounts for the small loss in bulk from the thinning; in some cases no loss is evident. In the experiment outlined above -the reduction in bulk was only 1.67 per cent. In the Ben Davis thinning. experiments the No." 3 2 fruit was 'reduced by 18 per cent. and_the No. 1 s and No. 2"s increased 20 per cent. over those from similar tree not thinned. Instarks the No. 3's were reduced 12 per cent. and the No. 1 s and No. 2 s increased 16 per cent.
