In combatting trouble ai this kind the impor- tant thing la ta apply contrai quickiy. It is amazing how bugs can increase and disease spread if unchecked ln the early stages.

Green Manure As soan as ane part ai the vege- table patch 15 used up (peas, spi- nich, radish, etc will soan be out of the way and the graund clear,) experienced gardeners make a practice ai sawing some green crop like rye, aats, buckwheat, etc. This cavera the ground, checks weed growth and when dug or plowed in late in the Fal makea an excellent fertilizer. In addition ta enriching the soil such growth alsa adds essential humus. EUROPEAN TRADE A recent repart ai the Econom- ic Commission for Europe sum- marizes the 1952-53 planned im- ports ai Western Europe fram Eastern Europe, including Russia, and estimates that agricultural praducta will contribute $880 mil- lion ta the total. The report recog- nizes the tincertainties in looking ahead four years in Eurapean trade, but takes the position that there are possibilities that agni- cultural trade between the two divisions ai Europe could be in- creased cansiderably overth planned levels.

Wînds and heavy rains can wreck havoc 1with such things. For bushy flow- ers like peonies, wire bent in the shapeOa a h10op and supported about a foot or so from the ground is excellent. For siender, taller plants such as tomatoes, dahlias, delphiniums, three ta six foot stakes are recommended. These can be stained green or brown and won't be noticeable. In tying plants ta these, very soit twine or special raffia or ties are used. The main thing la to support firmly without binding the soit plant too tightly. Insect Protection 1 1 years of the lfth century, mea- sured against modern conditions, was extremnely low. The cold fact is that earnings oi workers, in ag- riculture or industry depend upon capacity ta produce and increased production comes anly when tech- nological improvements in the means of production increase the efficlency ai the workers. Then came an age af expansion. New lands were opened up ta the plow, improved means ai com- munication were developed. The United States and Canada were filling up with immigrants from Britain and the Continent. The overflow irom the United States moved into the Canadian West. We live ur'der the capitaiist sys- tem. It calis for a balanced re- lationship between city and coun- try. The grawth of the cities would be checked uniess there was a corresponding deveiopment in the rural areas. The country, with its limited capacity ta produce, could nat suppiy the expanding cities, so agriculture, aided by capital ceased ta be a hand industry and moved into the machine age. 'Harvest Triumphant" is the his- tory af this deveiapment-the lufe story of those who made At pas- sible. It la a fascinating tale and Merrîll Denison, who knows con- ditions on both sides ai aur boun- dry line, has made an excellent job oifit. There was a fierce tarîff battle lasting over a period of years. Sa far as the farmers were concerned a general reduction of tarifis would have been ai more advan- tage to them than a specifie re- ductian in the rates on farm im- plements. The tariff was flot al- ways high. The 35% rate on farm implements was introduced by Sir John MacDonald and by him reduced ta 20%. In 1876 there was a Select Committee oi the House of Commons on Depression oi Trade. Letters were sent out to manufacturers ail over the coun- try. The rate of duty on agricul- tural impiements was then 171/21/. The four implement firmas which replied to the letter stated that they did nat need higher tariffs they were confident of the ability oi their industries to meet comn- petition. Mr. Denison quotes a letter received from Mr. C. A. Massey, Vice-President of the Massey plant at Newcastle, I give this extract irom it: "We may also add that the ex- isting tariff is satisfactory ta us, and is sufficient protection; per- haps even a little less wouid aiso be. A still further advance in the tariif would certainly prove ad- verse ta aur interesf?' There are those who suspect that the tarifi battie was a political conflict, nothing more. They may have been right! The Mass ýy Company expanded its business rapidly over the grain producing countries of the world. In advertising it was singularly competent. It won victories in op- en contests and told well the real meaning of these events. It had learned how ta dramatize its vic- taries. It had comýpetitors in the field, A. Harris Son and Company of Brantford were moving for- ward along similar uines. Then word came that this Company had developed a new binder. It was called the Brantiord Open- end Binder. It could bind grain with any length ai straw and had decided advantages over any other binder. The Massey Company realized that it iaced a problem. It iound a way of escape. An amalgamation was proposed, it became a iact. This brought about a storm of pratest especialiy irom the West. H-ere was a monopoly. There was, of course, an answer ta this. Corn- petition is costly! Waste does not conduce ta sound economy. The saving brought about by this neans was quite substantial, the integration of bath under ane mianagement strengthened the po- sition ai the industry, made it miore competent ta handle the probiems of the future. Ail this involved conflict. I can- not think ai the lion and the lamb dwelling together in peace and harmony even in the Elysian Fields. There are reasons. The' farmer leads a peaceful lfe , the ,us]iness man is aqlwayszan thIir; "The cod was sa thicke by the shoar that we hardle have been able ta row ai boat through them." With these words, in 1498, John Nkason described flhihng on the Grand Banks. B>' 15O4,j#hundreds âjr.ropean f1shermen wero sailing ta the Eari>' English fishermen dried their cod an racks in the sun.

Early reports indicate that the acreage planted ta ilu. cured tobacco in Ontario this year may exceed last year's harvested area by 10,800 acres. A reduction ai approximatel.) 2,000 acres in the acreage aliotted ta cigar ta. bacco in Ontario and Quebec is anticipated. The 1949 acreage af dark tabacco, ail of which is pro- duced in Ontario la placed nt 1,300 acres, down about 25 per cent irom 1948. Recent data based an compu purchases indicate that the 1 F tobacca crop amounted ta 126, 629,000 pauinds valucd at $50,272, 000. This xvas made up af 102,442, 000 pounds ai ilue-cured tobacca valued at $43,546,000; 12,841,000 pounds ai buricy valued at $3,917, 000: 1,944,000 pounds ai dark val- ued at $493,000; 8,402,000 pounds ai cigar valued at $2.114,000; and 1,000.000 pounds ai pipe valued at $202,000.
