For the firstâ€"named, poison is usually applied. while the suckers are attacked with a burnâ€" ing spray which penetrates. Often when both are present, a combinâ€" ation of poison and someth‘ng that burns, such as lime sulphur and arâ€" senate, give the best results. The damage from the biting insects is usually quite apparent but the presâ€" ence of the other kind is only shown at first by a wilting or withering of the foliage. For sucking pests, chief of which are the aphids or plant lice, spray with whale oil soap, a quarter pound of soap to a gallon and a half of water; nicotine sulâ€" phate, or "Black Leaf 40" or any other repellent secured from a reliaâ€" ble seed store. Mildew or Other Fungus When fungus attacks the plants. the foliage usually turns yellow or brown, or white spots like mildew cover the leaves. Fungus is most common in warm, murky weather. Spraying with Bordeaux Mixture or dusting with specially finely ground sulphur is advised. Sulphur dust will also protect hollyhocks and phtox from rust, if applied when the disâ€" ease first shows itself. An ordinary tin can with the top perforated like a salt shaker makes a good duster.

Casey, inâ€" spector of the federal department of mines at Ottawa, paid a visit to the new plant and mine of the Beverly Holdings corporation in â€" Beverly swamp, near the village of Westover, and expressed himself as surprised at the development of the new ferâ€" tilizer industry which was estabâ€" lished under direction of A. Anrap, general manager, who was a former officer of the mines department. Much Work Done Over one mile of poles has been erected through the swamp to carry the Hydro to the plant and nearly a mile of narrow gauge railway has been laid to carry the constituents to the mixing mill. New Industry Is Developed The ordinary neon tube used for advertising will not do. Robdenburg and Zecher found that the gas had to glow in vapor lamps like those used for highway lighting. Even then the glare blackens at the end of 2,000 hours. But the results obâ€" tained with neon in growing gorgeâ€" ous flowers and big strawherries in midwinter with exposures to red rays eight hours a night make this obâ€" server wonder whether some day we shall see bits of countryside ablaze with the steady, relentless red of neon. Not all of Beverly swamp, comâ€" prising several thousand acres, conâ€" tains the organic matter that will go to make up the formula of the fertilizer. It is authoritatively stated that in no other part of the townâ€" ship has the same formation as that comprising an area of 144 acres been Red rays make plants grow fastâ€" er. Plant physiologists have known it for years. But it is not easy to get a lamp which is bright enough. Then the harsh, brilliant neon tubes that pierce the night of every Main Street came along. The physiologists tried them. Sure enough, the plants were stimulated. But not in the right way. The leaves grew luxuriantly, but stems and stalks were too long. In Holland two engineers of the Philips Company, J. W. M. Roodenâ€" burg and G. Zecher, have made some new experiments which show that neon can be used to force plants properly. If the dosage is right, the stalks do not shoot up too far, but become thicker and hence stronger. Neon Lights on Farms: But this rule also applies to everyâ€" thing used for salads.

Roosevelt to permit the famous band of the United States Navy to appear at Toronto this year. This favorite musical organization of the Americas, North and South, will appear twice daily in the great new bandshell at Exhibition Park under the baton of Lieut. Chas. Benter. The entire strenpth of the band, eightyâ€"five men, will be brought to Toronto.

While all parts of the swamp may look alike on the surface, it is in the marl lying below the thick covering of leaf mould and vegetable matter that the difference occurs. Nearly four feet of black mould covâ€" ers the marl below, which is about three feet thick and is said to conâ€" tain chemical constituents pecul‘ar to itself. It is said that in no other part of Ontario or Quebec has such a deposit ever been discovered, Govâ€" ernment officials and others who have been on the ground and had tests made believe that there is a wealth of plant food in the area that only requires development to make it available for agriculture.

LONDON, Eng. â€" The Empire Press Union concluded its second anâ€" nual conference last week after adoptâ€" ing a resolution urging its council do everything possible toward improving facilities for Empire correspondents within the United Kingdom, whose task is to portray for the dominions a complete and authoritative, as well as colorful picture of life in the United Kingdom. The pitfalls enumerated by Mr. lisley are these: Speaking to the Acadia Alumni of Montreal recently, Hon. J. L. lsley, Minister of National Revenue, supâ€" plied the answer. He reports to us that he was greatâ€" ly disappointed in the speeches made on the floor of the House. HMe had expected to be alternately soothed and excited by oratory. There wasn‘t any. Me was bored. Now he wants to know where all the silver tongues have got to. It was said insufficient recognition was given outside newspapermen, whose work frequently was labored with unnecessary prohibitions and lack of coâ€"operation. The conference was marked by speeches from persons prominent in evry phase of the newspaper world. Modern technique and the latest equipment were lengthily discussed, including the wirephoto, wireless and television. But members generally agreed with the sentiment expressed by Sir Stanâ€" â€" First "Foreign‘" Tour of U.S. Navy Band No Oratory? "‘The responsibility of the press," he said, "was never greater than today in countries where it remains free.

If we fail we shall bring deâ€" struction on many besides ourselves." ley Reed, of the Times of India, that without an increasing sense of reâ€" sponsibility, faith and forthrightness all fantastic inventions of the new era were but dust and ashes. Members deplored the trend toward intrusive reporting. It was suggested that if the press failed to govern its own enterprise with decency and digâ€" nity it invited governmental legislaâ€" tion which would be a move against freedom of the press. J. A. Spender, editor of the Westâ€" minster Gazette, supplied the keynote to the sentiment of the conference in the final address.

MEN WANTED COLLECTION SERVICE MONEY ‘TO LOAN * A Good Horse Cannot Be of A Bad Color," a Maxim That Gives Latitude for Discussion A correspondent writing to the Ottawa Farm Journal makes inquiry as to color in horses, whether it has an influence on their utility or fitness for work on the farm under the exâ€" tremes of heat and cold of a Canaâ€" dian climate. In spite of the fact that good horses come in all colors, experienced horsemen have certain wellâ€"defined prejudices in regard to color. Yet, if a horse is unsuitable in color to the climate, a great deal can be done to mitigate the bad efâ€" In very cold weather, for instance, the black horse needs much warmer housing than the white horse. A black horse must be blanketed where a white one is perfectly comfortable uncovered. In hot weather, particuâ€" larly in the grilling days of a hot wave, m black horse will not endure the hardships of working in the noonâ€" day heat of the sun as will a white horse. Does Color Have Influence on Utility But inside the stable he will stand heat under 98 degrees F. better than a white horse. There are a few mon who know this feculiarity in the black horse and they cover his body with a thin white cloth when he is working in the hot sun, and this preâ€" vents him from overhcating. The black matives of tropical countries dress in white for the same reason, that of reflecting the sun‘s rays outâ€" doors, but indoors a black dress is best at temperatures below body heat In contrast to color of the Por predominant colo: and Belgian.
