insist on doing is to make exhaustive enquiries as to the character and moral habits of the applicant scantily dressed teachers are usually lacking in other details and it is the duty of trustees to endeavor to secure high minded teachers who realize their great re sponsibility a tourist by automobile from can ada into the united stales must first secure a permit from the customs officer at the

fickle thing and probably few recall hat this ship was torpe doed by the germans off the irish coast in the dangerous days of 1917 she lay in 120 feet of water and diving operations were not very difficult divers are now hauling to the surface 5000000 in gold and gems from the merida which went down off the virginia capes fourteen s years ago siberian cassack alfalfa by joseph betz alfalfa is one of the oldest of forage plants having grown wild in the wilds of russia and siberia for the past thousands of years and mentioned in european literature more than three centuries ago the purple flowered alfalfa was introduced into greece about 470 bc and into italy about 450 bc at the time of xerxes invasion of greece from italy to spain and southern france germany england and was first brought to the ameri can continent by the spaniards at the time of their invasion of mexico from mexico it was carried south into central and south america and reached the west coast of the uni ted states in 1854 from chili it being an arid district drouth resistant plant it was not long in getting a chance in the south cen tral states working northward into kansas nebraska and south dakota 1 the early 90s as conditions there at that time demanded a drouth re sisting plant in many localities the name of the mortgage litter was given to the plant this purple flowered alfalfa was unsuitable for the north central states as it was found to be greatly lacking in hardiness to withstand the winters prof n e hansen of the south dakota state college of agriculture a man ot exceptional qualifications was chosen by the united states department of agri culture to explore the old world in search ot forage plant3 and other plantsincluding fruits and sbrubs ot sufficient hardiness to with stand thl conditions ot the prairie northwest three trips were made into the wilds of siberia northern mongolia turkestan and through the mediter- ranian districts costing the govern ment many thousands of dollars covering as many thousands of miles with many hardships to the explorer himself with the returns from these three trips we have several hardy varieties of fruits vegetables and shrubs which have greatly im proved and extended the growing of such in the united states and can ada prof hansens research has also furnished us with many different varieties of alfalfas clovers grasses and grains one of the most noted ot these being the siberian cossack alfalfa which has been tried tor some years in the northern state and canadian northwest with the best of success possible this cossack alfalfa came from a climate much colder than our own and being ot such vigorous growth as to produce a very large number of shoots to the crown which is low set below the surface makes it much superior as a forags plant drought resistant and hardy variety it recovers quickly after cutting withstands late fait cutting and fall pasturing without loss or damage and grows in any kind ot soil it is very highly variegated very much more variegated than grimm also is a heavier producer of hay and seed han grimm it has extensive sprangling or muiroot system whic hnature alone can promoteand then only through its ages and age3 of existence in the almost desert districts high altitudes of eastern russia and dry salt stepps of the jjral mountains the blossoms of cossack are ot all colors besides having the full colors it has combinations of all shades sometimes two or more shades appearing on tho same crviwu and in some cases on the vne stem a field if cossack in full bloom re minds a person of a iield varie- gatedgaed sweet peas a grower of alfalfa in northern alberta 750 miles nearer the artie circle than toronto has tried many varieties of alfalfa two varieties of siberian being the only ones success ful in the spring of 1914 he se cured a small quantity of cossack from the south dakota state college of agriculture at 500 per lb and sowed it he also sowed afteld of grimm the same spring in- the winter of 191516 the grimm froze i out 40 per cent and the cossack froze out less than 5 per cent which did not hurt the cossack at all i purchased some cossack seed from this grower in northern al berta and sowed a field with four pounds of seed per acre this is the advised rate of seeding and i and it thick enough as it is superior to grimm which i am also growing alfalfa is best sown on summer- fallow have a firm seed bed and innoculate with nitroculture forget the nurse crop idea at the time of writing this my field is in full bloom and may be seen by

1401 house 189 n l e todd managing director the revised plan of government grants to counties for road purposes whereby subsides of 40 and 60 per cent are replaced by a uniform sub sidy of 50 per cent was brought into effect in 21 counties last week by an orderincouncil passed at the parliament imildings when the plan was being embodied in legislation at the last session of the ontario legislature the government took the power ot proclaiming it in any part or parts of ontario to which it might be deemed suitable and the proclamation of it in the 21 counties follows these counties acceptance ot it at the june meetings of thlr councils prior to this plan of subsidy two classes of roads existed namely countyprovincial and county which were given grants of 60 and 40 per centt respectively these two sub sidies worked out to an average one of 47 y per cent- so that in merging the two classes ot roads into one and giving subsidy of 50 per cent the government is facing increased payments on subsidy account the aim of the consolidation of the countyprovincial and county roads is the development of a system of connecting county reads which will cover the province the advi sory highway committee ot the on tario legislature has made a careful survey of the province with this in view and has submitted tangible designations to the various counties concerned whereby a netwdrk at connecting and useful highways will be linked up the 21 counties which have con sidered the50 per cent subsidy plan and agreed to it by resolutions ot their county councils are leeds and grenville
