A., Director of University Extension, University of Toronto. From our past acquaintance witb Mr. Dunlop as editor of "The School", a high class educational journal, we have a fair idea of his especial fitness for the very important office he is now filling. He calîs attention to the circumstnnces wbich led to the re- cent increase in entrance require- m énts in the Faculty of Arýts la On- tario Universities, which pay a well- caemited compliment to boys and girls from the couatry schools in comparison with city chnps. These changes raising entrance standing are really to the great advantage of the average boy or girl going from the country to a university. He says tbat une of the difficulties with which any university has to contend is the fact that there are many young people who are more interested in the social ýthan in the acndemic if e of a 'university. Such students, he re- marks, rarely come from country or village homes. The ýcountmy girl and boy attend the university to study and they do study. Faced, therefore, v'itb the dilemma whicb the less eamnest type of student pro- duces, and the regrettable fact that literally scores of students fail each year la their examinations, the uni- versities of Ontario are driven to the necessity of raising their entrance standards. But, Mr. Dunlop adds, this action bas been taken solely for the purpose of barring out the stu- dent who is too immature or whose previous education is too meagre to enable him to take advantage at bis present stage of the work which the university bas to offer him. Hlence it is evident that the - industrious, mature student is the student the uaiversity wants and will welcome. So it is that the %tudious girl or boy will flnd the change of little conse- quence in reality. 4At the risk of, being called an "arm chair farmer", we wîsh to say a f ew words to young farmers on a subject that we think aIl important to every Canadian farmer. Just as certain as tbat man requires foocd regularly to maintaîn strength to do1 his work, f arm souls require fertiliz-i ing regularly to perform its work. La our humble opinion too many farmers aeglect soi f ertility. Soil that does not contain a sufficient quantity of humus or vegetable sub-1 stance cannot produce plant life abundantiy. It is because of the in- fertile soul that 'the sand ridges of North Darlington cannot be made to produce crops. We know some farms la Darlington that have neyer1 failed la forty yeams that we haveî known them intimately to produce1 good cmops, and this is why la thei standing crops c ompetition these farms are usually among the win-1 ners for good crops and-good sample1 of grain. There is no secret aboutc successful farming-other opemationsç 'being done properly and in season. keeping the soil welî fed with suit-1 aible fertilizers almost invariably in- sures good crops unless climatic con- ditions are very adverse. * * * *t As a farmer la our youth and fromt knowledge gained from, readîng scientifie literature ai-d froin observa- tion, yes, and from common sense as it applies to Nature we know, as every practical farmer should know ;hat plants require food for their existence and growth and if the soil does not contain the required food eiements or is 'infertile, life and growth are impossible. Better till-E age.and improveýd varieties of seed t can not materially increase the pro- duction of infertile or depleted soils. In fact no factor of crop productionV inder the control of man, influences the yield of crops to sncb an extent as the f ertility of the soul, and we hope every young farmer in Durham County or who rends the James Pap- ers nnywbere else will grip this'vital0 truth about soul production for profit. lVe have seen, under adverse clim- atic conditions, crops on an infertile soi fnl completely while those on a fertile~ soil yiel.ded fa1k returns. Thusc in a season of drougbt the plants on fertile soul make a more economical ise of the soul moisture and yield better than those on poor or ia- r fertile souls.s * s * * * s Here is a condition favorable toa rich soils of whicb we cnnnot speak vith n personal knowledge but we e know no renson why it should not be correct. The Michigan Agrîcultur-a al Bulletin No. 29 0 states in its Feb-1_ rient in soil f ertility often retuins as w riuch through increased qunlity ofo crop as through incrensed yielil.

Larkin of, Tor- onto to the High Commissionership. The Port Hope Guide editorially"says: Lt is said that Sir George Perley re- fused to pay the tax that was de- manded upon bis private income, and that the plea was advanced that it would be an ungraclous act to coýipeI him to do so -in view of the great sac- rifices that Canada was making in the war. If this is true it should be en- quired into. The argument that Sir George Perley should not pay hisl taxes because some other Canadians, were being sacriflced in the cause of king and country is untenable and disgraceful, more particularly as he was not then paying Income tax in Canada. If hie di.dn't pay Income Tax in England for that reason, from 1915 to 1920, he had better be look- ed after by the Finance department at Ottawa. Ottawa government can ,put up a better argument than that as fto why Mr. Larkîn's private income shall not be taxed overseas. The ex- emption wili not be asked for upon sentimental grounds, but for officiai anýd public reasons. Thé outc'ome of the officiai negotiations on this quest- ion wiîl be anxiousiy looked for. THE LESSON PIONEERS SET Présent Farm Boys Have Littie Idea of what Hard Work Meant to Them. "When the pioneers came into this country", says the Kingston Whig, "they asked no government ai.d. They knew that tbey must fell the forests and build bouses before tbey could have farms and homes. LIt required initiative, industry and vision to fore- sec fields of growing grain and com- for'able homes where the primeval forest held sway. But, the Whig continues, "strong men with the love of the land bora in them did not hes- i-ate to tackle the job. Each did for himselt.so f ar as hie was able, and lsked no odds. Only when the task was too great for one alone was co- operation sougbt, and help then was scked only that it might be given in turn. Wben difficulties beset tbem, they solved the problems themseives. They were self-reliant becauàe they knew that on tbemselves depended success. Whatever progress was made was due to the efforts of individuals working alone or in co-operation with others. Our forefathers had no de- lusions about work. They knew that nothing is accomplisbed witbout effort". We appear to have gone far from the ideas of the pioneers. Tooîmany peopfle believe that there are shorter ,uts to accomplishment than bard cvork coupled witb good judgment. DURHAM OLD BOYS The fifth monthly meeting of Tor- onto Durham Club was held at the residence of Dr. F. W. Marlow, 417 Bloor West on Thursday evening, Febraury l6th. Although the night; was extremely cold it did not prevent a large num- ber from being in attendance. The music was furnished by Misses Bertha Tamblyn, M. Lehman and Hazel Anguish. Miss Tamblyn bad set to music one of Dr. Hughes' songs. "In a sail boat", and sang it vitb good effect. Miss Lehman gave adeiightful rendering of "Ma Ain F'olk". Both singers were heartily encored. Miss Angaish played the accompaniments. The address of the evening was eiven by Rev. James W. Pley on ing to note that on a third -field chich was fertilized witb a nitrogen- ous fertilizer only, the total yield was increased one-baif, but the feeding value of the hav was actunlly de-I creared to $22.80 a ton, a decrease robablv reiated'to the stimulatîin ni' bhe non-legunres at the expense of the loyers. 1li PRAISED COL FLOYD'S WORK Mr. D.

DOMINION P 'rIANOeS In homes where there are childre-n the choice of a piano seriously affects the future musical ap- preciation of the child. A fine piano accustoms the impressionable ear of youth to tone perfect- ion,while a poor piano deadens the fine percep- tions. As a furnishing for the home, the Do- minion is a masterpiece of the cabinet-maker's art. Its perfection of form appeals no less than its perfection of tone. The DomfInion tradition is to make the finest possible piano and seil it at the lowest possible price and upon the easiest possible terms. And for this reason, the Dominion can be purchased at a price which probably will surprise you by its moderation and upon terms that will relieve the purchase of inconvenience. F. Ji.
