out by judge mckinnon at arthur may be helpful to some of our courts of re vision in fixing the assessment of property a west luther resident bought a farm for 1200 and the assessor and court of revision placed the assessment at 2000 in giving judgment in favor of the plaintiff the bench ruled that the selling price established the real value and that the court of revision overstepped itself when it boosted the assessment valuation of a pro perty apparently is based on what it is intended for for fire insurance purposes the valuation is based on the amount it will cost to replace it with

policy of granting clearances to vessels smuggling liquor into the united states says the new outlook during last session of parliament there was scarcely a sitting at which petitions were not presented from religious and civic bodies asking that clearances be refused and these formal protestations were said to bo mild as compared with the telegrams and letters which have been delug ing ministers of the crown ever since most of the wrath falls on the head of the minister of national revenue and whilst it may scarcely seem fair as he simply adminsters the polcy of the governments posi tion throughout this whole contro versy so far neither the liberal nor the conservative party has taken sides on the question and that is why so many decent canadians have to hang their heads in shame there is a marked decrease in rumrunn ing lately but bur country can claim no share in bringing it about there is nevertheless some solid comfort in the knowledge that de spite the attitude of our politicians the canadian people as a whole are unquestionably opposed to the grant- ling vessels the king government is looked upon as likely to do the honorable thing in the matter schedule outlined

ville tribune profits from farm crops are determined after the cost of produc tion has lias been deducted many factors enter into this cost but am ong them are preparation of seed bed control of weeds use of larger power units cooperative willi natural forces seed fertilizer taxes etc weeds rob the growing crops of moisture plant food and standing room and reduce the price or tin- grain sold this is particularly true ot some such as sow thistle tvvlcli bindweed and many others to a greater or lesser degree weeds have to he combattud according to tho nature of their growth sunlight is one of the best partners the farmer has in the eradication of weeds a plant up rooted during tho heat of the summer will die nature has assisted the weed to oxist and multi ply but will assist the farmer effec tively in cleaning tho land if effort is possible by one man whereas put forth at the proper time labor is scarce and expensive small power units pre corresponding ly expensive four and six horse teams should be used wherever possible by one men whereas twentyfive years ago it was seldom that more than two horses were driven by one man power machinery is rapidly re placing human and horse labor old methods will not suffice under new- conditions because one man now has to cover far more acres in tha same period of time and ho must accomp lish more one dayapplied intelligence is rapidly replacing sheer muscular endeavor weed control because of existing conditions and because of the toll taken during the past fifteen years must become an integral part of the regular farm programme lest the returns per acre prove so small that it will be profitable no longer to cultivate thousands of the most fertile acres in the province after harvest cultivation is one of the surest methods of controlling weeds because the summer heat will assist when crops have been removed shallow ploughing or deep discing will kill the young plants and induce seeds to sprout provided there is sufficient moisture power imple ments will permit this operation in short periods of time and will en able the farmer q work a field though hard and dry sow thistle and twitch are two of the most difficult to combat plough rather dooply after harvest and leave rough provided the land will become thoroughly dried the hent and lack of moisture will go far in definitely wiling tho roots if growth commences weekly culti vation must be resorted in order that growth may be prevented smother ing will then take place or in other words the plant will be deprived of food gathering and hauling twitch off the land is too expensive deep ploughing is effective against twitch reduced prices womens victoria shoe patent fancv pumps reg 075 to theend of the month only 500 500 shoes for only si00 150
