Flea Beetles Many a farmer in Northern Ontario had from time to time his turnips desâ€" troyed by a little black beetle about oneâ€"twelth of an inch long with yellow stripes down each wing cover. The injury is always done during the first week or two after the plants have come through the ground. It is brought at Kapuskasing.

Farmâ€" ers usually speak of this insect as the "turnip fly." Although the injury to turnips is the greatest, yet radishes, cabbage and cauliflower are also sometimes severely attacked. The destruction of weeds, especially those of the mustard family, such as mustard, peppergrass and sheppard‘s )purse will lessen the number of inâ€" sects in the vicinity, and lead to less injury to the cultivated plants the folâ€" lowing year. When young plants are being attacked the beetle may be drivâ€" en off by spraying the plants heavily with the Bordeaux Mixture, 4â€"6â€"60 forâ€" mula or with 2 pounds Arsenate of Lead to 40 gallons of water. In sprayâ€" ing, the nozzles should be held close to the plants to save material and to conâ€" centrate the substance on‘ the tiny plants themselves. The «treatment should be repeated in about four days or as soon as the beetles have appearâ€" ed again.

There is one aspect of Masaryk that deserves to be specially emphasized at this moment of exaggerated nationalist expansion and of efforts on the part of so many countries to make themâ€" selves selfâ€"sufficing. With all his fruitful love for his nation and all his indefatigible labours for its welfare he has never been a narrowâ€"minded naâ€" tionalist, selfishly blind to the interâ€" ests of other nations. His sentiments Masaryk emphasizes in particular the fact that a democratic policy, whether internal or external, should operate solely by clean and honourâ€" able means, that it should be open. genuine and loyal on all sides. Not less weight does he lay upon the fact that democracy should by no means exclude qualifications and expert capaâ€" city and that it should not become petrified in inherited forms and inâ€" stitutions, but that it should accomâ€" modate itself in timely fashion to the urgent needs of the day. For sixteen years Masaryk â€" has directed the fortunes of the young Czechoslovak State with wise statesâ€" manship, a firm will, and an endeavour to secure that the liberated nation shall remain faithful to the principles and ideals of democracy without which it would never have recovered its inâ€" dependence. The democracy of Masâ€" aryk is part and parcel of his personâ€" ality, his conviction and world outlook, and therefore it is so profound, so unâ€" shakeable and so full of confidence in the future, even though the contemâ€" porary situation of Europe is under a cloud and would justify pessimism rather than optimism, especially in respect of the future of democracy. Masaryk is convinced that of all sysâ€" tems of government ever yet devised by man, democracy is the best and most suitable, that it is best fitted for mankind at a stage of general culture where respect for the individual, and for his inalienable personal, political and civic rights is practically axioâ€" matic. to the domination of the Germans on the one hand and the Magyars on the other, and by its close alliance with Hapsenollern Germany had aggravatâ€" ed the menace to Europe and the whole world represented by Panâ€"Gerâ€" man imperialism. The superhuman efforts of Masaryk were crowned with success. Just before Christmas, 1918, he returned to his liberated country, the Czechoslovak Republic, as its first president, and a grateful nation beâ€" stowed on him the honourable title of ‘Liberator." The broad masses of the people never call him other than "Taticek â€" Masaryk" ("Dear Father Masaryk"), expressing thus their love and filial affection. During the war Masaryk left his country and went abroad to organize there revolutionary struggle against the obsolete Hapsburg Monarchy which had handed its subject peoples over The like work of President Masaryk is truly stupendous. He will always be ranked among men who have made themselves famous, who have begun in poor humble circumstances, who passed a youth full of hardships and trials, working their way through and upwards by their own powers, their amazing energy, their perseverance and determination, to ever higher aims. The son of an insignificant coachman on an imperial estate, himself starting life as blacksmith‘s apprentice, he beâ€" came a university professor, a member of parliament and tribune of the peoâ€" ple, the guide, the teacher, the philâ€" esopher of his nation whom he causâ€" ed â€"to pass through the stern school of selfâ€"criticism and selfâ€"discipline in order to prepgdre it for a struggle for liberty and independence and make it capable of taking its government into its own hands. â€"the Czech national Heroâ€"a great manâ€"aAll these and other epitheis were applied in the world‘s press to Presiâ€" dent Masaryk on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 1930, and toâ€"day it is scarcely possible to add more to these superlatives of admiration and appreâ€" ciation.

It was written for The Advance by a representative Czechoslovak, Dr. F.

An old man of 84 was for the third time elected head of the Czechâ€" oslovak Stateâ€"an event which is not only greeted with enthusiasm by the Czechoslovaks but has the cordial sympathy of the numerically strong German minority in the country, and probably also has the concurrence of the Magyar and Polish minorities. For racial, political, class and religious differences disappear in face of the outstanding personality of Masaryk, in face of his noble political principles and his exalted moral tenets culminatâ€" ing in the purest humanity and service to the lofty ideals of truth goodness and justice.
