in vesttgate this new subject from he viewpoint of the average person wio is neither a plant physiologist nor a chemist the dominion seed house at georgetown ont is doing a lot of work on this question and the to lowing material is from a pamphlet they have prepared 4 to explain the basic prlncip es of growing plants by the soilless methods we must first consider that eatth grown plants derive their nourishment from three sources the sun thf air and the earth while the so llcss method is quite different we haw af ter all only substituted for one of the sources of the plants beneficial e- ments that is for the soil we have substituted a chemical solution there are two general methods the one is to proide the neccnsary solution in tanks jars bo ties etc and the pant is supported so tha its roots are immersed in the solution seeds bulbs and plants can be grown in this manner the sand culture method makes use of pure c can washed sand usually rather coarse which in itself supplies nothing for the plants growth but gives it an ex cellent support the chemical solu uon is supplied at internals much in the same way as a soil grown plant would be watered or the solution can be arranged to drop slanly and con tlnouslj there are any number of ingenious variations and the equ pment needd is inexpensive and alrcadj avaiiab e around the average home at this particular season of year one of jie features that interests a great many people is the fine manner in when the fall planting bulbs such as h 1 cratbs tulips etc respond to the soilless methods growing plants by the soilless method presents a remarkable oppor family to either study or experiment for either young or old and is of great interest to the boy and girl of school age for there is no other means by which the marvel of plant growth can be so clearly revealed and there is unlimited opportunity to experiment with the many factors affecting plant growth one of the first comments to be heard from people who are growing plants by either sand or liquid me thod is on the remarkable rate of growth as shown by the accompany log pictures not only is the growth rapid but the seedlings have rooted fast ard vigorously and being planted only in coarse sand they canjuansplantrd wtth practically no injury to the roots certain of the chemicals which are used are except for their purity the same as some common field fertilisers bat in soilless agriculture the puii y of the chemical is highly important in using a commercial or low prid grade there is the ever present dan ger of impurities being present wnlch will be harmful or poisonous to piant growth the natural question is why are these impurities poisonous by the soilless method if they are not pois anous to plants grown in soll the answer is that in soil nature provides a if of automate adjustments but in solution the impurities are placed immediately available for the plant to conaprnr r has bean repeatedly proven

likes to be de oeived telling a lie may postpone trouble but usually it leans to greater trouble when the falsehood is covered it is particularly true about lying that our sins are sure to find us out

themselves in our words our de sires colour what we say the little rules of etiquette about which we are so fussy are trivial compared with mental integrity and purpose the only way to cure sins of speech is by a change of heart it is said of an old testament character that god gave htm a new heart peters speik ing was transformed through fellou ship with christ his heart was changed paul s vindictive speech was tempered by his discovery of the power of lme we are never ce tain of victory over falsehood just by de elding to tell the truth we must love the truth desire it above al lse then in an hour of sudden temuut uon we will stand by the truth even to our own hurt one of the outstand ing characteristics of the teaching 01 jeaus was the manner in which he stressed the inwardness

party to no unworthy propoganda or condone the evasions of dlplomacv we must work constructively for truth through education scientific research the press the church h s tory is a search for truth
