On a medium-sized wo- man, a skirt cut 15 inches from the ground would assume for all practi- cal purposes the pattern of a Scot s kilt. It is more than doubtful, how- ever, whether fashion leaders on this side of the water will adopt these lengths or lack of lenpfths. The new skirts will be extremely narrow.

Coal will all too soon be a burn- ing question with us, therefore, of especially timely interest was the reference made to Alberta coal by Mrs. H. A. Rogers, of Fort Saskat- chewan, who gave a very graphic cle- scription of the natural resources of the province of her adoption in the W.I. section of tlze Women s Build- ing at the Toronto Exhibition. Mrs. Rogers is a native of Ontario, but for a number of years heighome has been in Alberta. She is a most en~ thusiastic advocate of Alberta coal for Ontario. With satisfactory freight rates Mrs. Rogers believes it should sell at not more than $11 or $12 a ton here---it sells at $2.50 a ton at the mine.

This ' experiment was carried on, of course, 5 in heavy soil. The general size. - health and vigor of the trees in the , various plantings seemed to indicate . that the trees set in holes immediate- ly after dynamiting were for someI cause weakened and delayed in growth. This was attributed to the rapid drying out 01.` the soil immedi- ately following dynamiting, which delayed the starting of the trees. To overcome this difficulty the experi-5 ment was continued with the addi- tion of trees planted in holes dyna- mited in the fall and allowed to fill l with water and settle over winter.-- Hort. Exp.

Experiments to determine, for the Niagara Peninsula, the relative mer- its of fall and spring planting of pears, plums and sweet cherries were started at the Horticultural Experi- ment Station, Vineland, in 1914 and 1915. Complete records of growth and fruittulness have been kept for each season so that the evidence we now have is fairly conclusive. Pears, Plums and Sweet Cherries Do VVell. Severally speaking for pears, plums and sweet cherries fall plant- ing has resulted in the least number of deaths, and has given a somewhat greater growth of tree, both during the rst season and thereafter. At no time, however, have the diner- ences been very great, though they have been sufficiently marked to war- rant Isll planting, providing well ma- tured trees can be secured from the nurseries. Trees dug too early and with unripened wood are apt to suf- fer from winter injury. In some seasons, owing to weather conditions ; which stimulate late growth, it is practically impossible to secure well- matured nursery stock. After such seasons spring planting would prob- ably be preferable. A nrnhnhln I-nnann lrnu Qkn ns."-uc Lana ; Ye who pass by and would raise, `your hand against me, harken ere ` you harm me.

I Very careful records of the rain- fall at the College have been kept by the Department of Agricultural Phy- sics in each of the past sixteen years. ` In comparing the amount of rainfall during the months of July, August and September with the amount of rot in the potato crop in each of the past sixteen years some interesting information has been obtained. The annual amount of rainfall for the three months referred to for the eight years in which there was no rot was 7.1 inches, for the four years when there was a moderate amount of rot 9.8 inches, and for the four years in which the rot was abundant 11.7 inches. The amount 01` rainfall, therefore, appears to have a very marked inuence in making condi- tions favorable or unfavorable for the development of rot.-Dept. of Exten- sion, O. A. C., Guelph. TREES FALL PLANTED Ontario's Greatest Grain Crop. In 1923 oats were grown more extensively in Ontario than all other grains combined. It is probably safe ` to say that three-quu.rtors of the oats which are now grown in this Province are of the O. A. C. No. 72 and the Bannozr va.ri-.-ties. According to ex- tensive experiments and uccuniulated records at the College at Guelph and in Western, ll-u::te1'11 and Northern Ontario, the O. A. C. No. 72 has sur- passed the Banner in both quality of grain and yield of grain per acre.
