Now apart from tho well known fact that "A Scout is a friend to animals" and therefore should not us auimals or birds as targets for their rifle prac- tice, there arises the question of who should bo permitted to use firearms and who should not. In my estimation no one should be allowed to carry firearms until he is absolutely conversant with the ordin- ary rules of safety covering tlielr USD. As far as the Scouts are concerned, although this organization Is non-mili- tary, the use of firearms is not abso- ly to Injure anything else. Always un- load your rille or gun before entering a houss. Hi not leave a loaded gun leaning up against a fence, wall, etc., where It is liable to, be knocked over and dis- charged. Always clean your gun iminediatbly after using. If Louies follow these rules, acci- dents will not happou.

Fresh-killed Canadian beef should have a decidedly better market In Britain than the chilled moat from tho Argentine or Australia. While the livestock export business In Its widest scope Is and will prob- ably always remain largely a Western Interest, there seems no good reason why the Eastern farmer can not add materially to his Income by handling a few head of export cattle each year. It was a ready and safe source of In- come In the East a comparatively few years ago, when steers were Htall fed and shipped from this port from all over Ontario and Qpuebec ready for the abattoir.

The tourist trade main- tains Its position as Canada's third most Important Industry.

No alarm need bo felt over the advent of the seven- teen-year "locust" breed of 1931, which is now making its appearance in Ohio and a portion of Pennsyl- vania and West Virginia, according to experts at Ohio State University. Tho cxperta explained that the .seventeen-year locust was re-ally a ci- cada, and an almost harmless rela- tive to the harvest fly, although ap- pering formidable because of the noise miil'i by it and the largo num- bers In which the breed appear.

The chief advantages of such a practice are: (1) Maintaining and Improving soil fertility, thus Increas- ing yields; (!') Assisting In weed con- trol; (3) Assisting in the control of Insect and crop diseases by having various crops on fresh soil each year; and It makes a more even distribu- tion of labor throughout the year pos- sible. Increasing the yield per acre Is one of the best ways of reducing cost of production, and In this re- spect crop rotation plays a real part Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa. Marl of A'-rl.e wa'.cuin?

Sending them to Coventry U a very good way, but these unpleasant Individuals have a knack of being Impervious to snubs and cold shoul- ders. Turn your back upon them, and round they come on the other side. I am Inclined to think that th<J best method Is to Ignore them. If you keep It up long enough, and pre- vent these spoil-sports getting their way, they give in eventualy. In tha long run, they cannot stand It. And they turn elsowhere to work off their little nuisances. It Is a pity these people cannot sea how objectionable they are. C.H.O. Number of Airplanes Trebles in Five Years Washington. The number of active licensed airplanes in the United States has more than trebled since 1926, when the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce assumed th duty of regula''ng aircraft.
