From now until August lst. we will accept renewals to The Independent for either one year or two years at the old price of $1.00 per year. This will give our subscribers, who wish to take advantage of it, an opportunity of getting their paper for another year or two without any increase in price. After August 1st. the price will be $1.50 per year in advance. Address all com mnnicatious to The Independent. Grimshv- We know it is a hard thing to change the price of a newspaper even though the publisher is loosing money on it, yet reasonable people ought to know that the prices on all kinds of commodities have changed frequently even some commodities having the price changed weekly, yet the public pay the advanced price with very little grumbling. The commodities that enter into the production of a newspaper have in. creased in price more since the war began than almost any other commodity in use in every day life in Canada and yet a great many people seem disin- clined to pay the increased price for the paper after it is produced and ap- parently expect us to issue the paper to them at a loss although we have got to pay the increased value for everything we buy whether we like it or not. This will give every person who desires to renew at the old price an op- portunity to do so within the present month as after August 1st. the new price will positively go into force. A great many' of the subscribers to The Independent have complained that they were not able to take advantage of our offer of renewing their sub.. scription at the old price of $1.00 per year up to July 1st. Some claim that they overlooked it, others claim that they were not in a positon to take ad.. vantage of the offer while still others had intended to take advantage but forgot it at the last moment. In order to do what is fair with all the subscrib- ers and in order to give them all an opportunity to renew their subscriptions for another year or two years at the old price of $1.00 per year we have ex- tended the time for one month so that the new price will not come into force until August 1, 1916.

Methods ot control by sprying are detailed and the prescription for making the Bordeaux mixture given, The stocking of solution of copper sulphate and milk of lime is advised. Poison for the Colorado beetle can be applied with the Bordeaux as often as nec- essary. For this, either Paris green or arsenate of lead, or a combination of both may be used, half a pound ot the latter to 40 gallons of spr'ay be- ing sufficient. In very severe cases the quantities of the poison can be increased by half.

Late blight makes its appear- ance in August and September as a rule, although it is always present be fore it is generally noticed. The first spots which are usually on the lower leaves or stems are dark brown to purplish black in colour, sometimes surrounded by a ring of light green and they have a water-soaked ap- pearance. In fine weather they dry up and become brown. In moist weather they increase in size and number and may involve"the whole plant. An in- fected tuber is characterized by lurid-coloured slihtly shrunken areas on the surface that are abnormally hard.

While the headquarters of this non-combatant unit are at Ottawa" the central recruiting depot for the 'province is at 55 Queen Street West, Toronto, and this office has found it necessary to purchase an automobile to facilitate its work. When the bat- talion is up to strength the officials will give this machine to some one Of the patriotic supporters of the unit, the winner determined by a drawing contest to be held, September I. The battalion is now sending out the call tor cortri‘outions of one dollar each, to be applied to recruiting expenses, and to each contributor it will present a numbered ticket which will entitle the donor to one chance of winning the car. This is not a lottery or a but merely an attempt to give general public a chance to help be run in August, the date will be an- nounced later. _ For further information apply to nearest Canadian Northern Agent, or write R.
