impression on the most ob tuse i that is the personality all of us covet how to develop it how to express it is too big a subject for a short editor- ial books nave- been written on this theme one word of warning may be spoken here however the people one does not sonet are the people who persist in being- themselves who copy nobody jwhoeeho nobody no wonder that the lihltjitofa cannot make

considerable losses to grain crops in eastern canada being especially detrimental to oats and barley satisfactory methods of control of these diseases have however been devised by the division of botany of the dominlcoi experimental farms in seeking to control smuts it should be understood that smut on barley is not the same as smut an wheat and loose smut of wheat differs very greatly from bunt or stinking smut persons in doubt as to the identity of any particular smut disease should submit samples to the nearest dominion laboratory of plant pathology where correct diagnosis will be made and the proper control measures described the mpst uptotodate recommenda tions for smut control are found in bulletin no 81 new series issued by the dominion botanist central experi mental farm ottawa treatments are given as follows wheat bunt loose smut of oats and covered smut of bar ley the solution is prepared by adding one jundof formalin to 40 gallons of water and stirring till the formalin and water- are well- mixed together since this quantity of liquid may be greater than is required for use in a single day any desired amount may be prepared in the above proportions by adding one ounce of formalin to every 2 gallons of water the grain to be treated is placed ln a pile an a clean floor and sprinkled with formalin solution from an ordinary sprinkling can or by means of a broom the grain is then shovelled over into an other pile the grain being mired as thoroughly as possible to distribute the moisture the grain is again sprinkled and shovelled over- this operation is repeated until the grain is uniformly moistened forty gallons solution wll treat from 40 to 50 bushels of grain ap proximately one gallon to every bushel the treated grain should be covered up for four hours with clean sacks or canvas loose smut of wheat and loose smut of barley are controlled by the hoc- water t as follows first the seed is soaked in warm water 86 degrees f for four hours and then the swollen grain is immersed for ten minutes in water kept during this time at a con stant temperature not below 122 degrees f and not above 126 degrees f organize thinking powers hundreds of years ago gautama said all that wesare is the result of what wto have tftmvighjt many tbings havelen said by wise men since then but i doubt whether a greater truth has ever been uttered says a writer in the johannesburg sunday times we1are careless thinkers these days that being so we are unhappy hard- worked poor and generally as miserable as humanity has ever been if this state of affairs is to be changed we must organize our th and re- f ran from voicing them before they are properly matured even children think oynically in this year of grace and their parents call them cytel actually a

done by we think divorce should lie cheaper day by day thousands of socalled wise thoughts are broadcast all over the world but few of these thoughts are simple sincere ones they are harmful and

people find it hard to be polite to shabby and threadbare individuals and they thereby prove themselves snobs of the first water some find it hard to be courteous to the rich and they too show themselves small be courteous to the one who treats you with courtesy for that is his due be courteous to the individuals who know no more of good manners than they do of differential calculus the ones who gut on your nerves by their rude- ness and impertinence for they are sadly in need of the uplifting influence of courtesy be courteous to those who will i appreciate such treatment and to those who will not be courteous not as a concession to popular prejudice but in recognition of what you owe to your self make your courtesy consistent and constant neighborly i think perhaps id better

subdued and saddened family if his wife tells him in a sepulchral whisper that rose has had a spell of crying and does not want any dinner be is not being treated fairly nobody blames the girl who
