Removing the Caustic Curse \ Examinations Create From Orchard Sprays SPirit of Rivalry Dr. H. W. Dye A few years ago an eminent horti-culturalist made the following statement: "The strangest thing I have discovered about some fruit growers is--that they will spend their money for expensive fertilizers to make vigorous and abundant foliage which in turn will make large apples and fruit buds, and then diametrically oppose themselves by burning or stunting the leaves with a caustic spray like lime f.ulphur solution." All discerning fruit growers know that the leaves rnlake the fruits. They make the new wood and buds for next year's crop. In fact, they make the entire tree. Still, there are many who will not permit these leaves to function at top speed because they keep them covered constantly with lime sulphur solution and, in so doing, blister, curt and stunt their growth. At one time, using lime sulphur .solution was the only choice of two evils of which it seemed the lesser. It was the case of spoil the leaf and save the crop. Now, however, this is not necessary. It has 'been found that by fusing the sulphur in bentonite clay that the sulphur is active as a fungicide and non-active as a caustic. A prominent provincial investigator said to the writer. "I believe that fused bentonite sulphur is a good summer spraying 'material but we have found here at the station that it requires five applications of this spray to give us the same protection that we get with four applications of lime sulphur solution." This statement on its face has all the earmarks of an adverse criticism but when the facts are explained you will find that it is true and is indirectly a big boost for the non-caustic material. Lime sulphur solution may protect new growth with less applications because there w'll be less new growth to protect. In other words, lime sulphur solution controls scab with less applications because the caustic- action will not permit the twigs and leaves to grow in a normal manner but keeps them stunted to the point where one application will last a longer time. Size of fruit is also materially affected. The following extract is taken from the proceedings of the 26th annual meeting of the Washington State Horticultural Society: "It will be noted that a reduction in the size of fruit will occur if the leaf area is reduced at any time during the growing season, and it is because of this that one should avoid all materials likely to cause these injuries." Simply growing apples free from disease and worm injury is not ficient for an operator to show a profit. He must also strive for larger and consistent yields of well sized fruit. 'There are plenty .of orchardists producing yields of over 500 bushels ■per acre hut you will find that most of them use non-caustic spray materials or dust. On the other hand, orchards sprayed year after year with lime sulphur solution seldom averse as high as 2'Ofl bushels per acre and all growers will agree that this is not a sufficient yield from mature trees to make fruit growing a profitable business. Every year more growers are turning away from, lime sulphur solution and, of course, more will turn to a non-caustic spray when they have made a better study of their orchard; practices. By using bentonite sulphur as a sulmimer spray, the caustic course of lime sulphur solution is removed and 3 material more effective against a wile scaib and other diseases is applied. An extra application must be made to get complete protection: rest assured that you are growing larger fruit on better, bigger and more productive trees, to more that ray for material and time. ANY DAY A FISH DAY Then and Now In her recent autobiography "Clearing in the West," Nellie McClung, pioneer girt of the covered waggon days, now director of the Canadian Broadcast Corporaion, makes frequent and affectionate reference to the "old" Family Herald and Weekly Star--the paper that has since grown to be Canada's National Farm Magazine The Family Herald must have exercised a great influence on the pioneer girl who was destined to become a well-loved writer, for she writes: "The Family Hearld from, Montreal brought tre world to our door:" "We read in the Family Herald that there were riots in the streets of Montreal" (this was the execution of Louis Riel): "Always there was the Family Herald with its great wealth of reading ----" These are but a few of the references to the Family Herald made in "Clearing the West." And ever since those early days, the Family Herald and Weekly Star has continued to be a guide, plilos-cpher and friend. As times have changed, so has the Family Herald changed, new features being added from time to time to meet new conditions. For example, with the more general use of electricity and many farmers modernizing their buildings, the Family Herald has been quick to inaugurate a "Power, Building and Mechanics" department which, by supplying practical ideas, is saving Canadian farmers untold money. Nellie McClung has.written of the value of the Family Herald to those of the pioneer days.. The value of the Family Herald to the modern farmer and his family has perhaps been best expressed by farmer William Burgess who says: "My wife and I always reckon the farmer who flakes his local paper for the LOCAL news and the FAMILY HERALD for Farm news, stories and home features, gets the very best value his dollary Will buy." Examinations and report cards have done inestimable damage in creating a spirit of rivalry rather than a spirit of cooperation in public schools of the province, Dr. Duncan McArthur, M.A., deputy-Minister of Education for Ontario, told a large audience in North Tornto Collegiate last night. "The progress of each child should be measured by his own capabilities," declared the speaker. "There has been too much emphasis on intellect and too little on emotion. Children must be allowed to discover themselves; it is the work of the teacher to stimulate interest and encourage the individual pupil." Health is given first place in the new public school curriculum, he said. There is to be more play and more rest. Need More Rest "Too many pupils look on at games and too few participate in them," the deputy Minister asserted. "There is no justification for any child in junior grades having to do homework. It is far more important for the boy or girl to enter into the home life and have proper rest than to make rapid progress in the classroom." By next September it is hoped the same philosophy of education will be extended to grades seven, eight, nine and ten, Dr. McArthur declared. The new educational system is "training to live," aimed to consider the interests and capabilities of each child and to adjust education to the individual quality of mind. "The change provides a maximum of freedom to teachers but places on them one of the heaviest loads of responsibility carried by any group of the community," he said. ^ Many Attend Meeting The meeting was held under the auspices of the North Toronto Collegiate Home and School Association. Educationists from all parts of Toronto, mtunicpal officials, and representatives of various North Torontto organizations were present. Col F. H. Wood, principal of the collegiate, introduced the speaker. At the conclusion of Dr. McArth-ur's address, a vote of thanks was proposed by Prof. Alexander Lacey, seconded by Dr. T. H. Martin, president of the Public School Teachers' Association. Dr. John Downing, chairman of the Board of Education, and Mrs. Colin Campbell, daughter of the founder of the Home and School movement, spoke briefly. Music and singing was provided by the school orchestra and choir. Mr. Roy Belyea, president of the Collegiate Home and School Association, was chairman. Refreshments were served in the school cafeteria. VOCAL MUSIC IN It's a pity that the average man isn't as religious when he Is hale and hearty as he is when he is ill and thinks he might dite. Find Ancient Cloth In Swiss Alps Cave the Swiss Lake Dwellers, who lived ten thousand years ago, have discovered pieces of cloth that are older than written history. Although obtaining such an early start, cloth-making remained for thousands of years one of the least progressive of industries. Up to 150 years ago the only known methods of spinning were by the handwheel or by the still more primitive distaff and spindle. But ever since 1767, when the Lancashire weaver, Hargreaves, invented the Spin-rdng Jenny, tremendous technical improvements have been taking place. Today, textile manufacturering stands as one of the most progressive and up-to-date of industries. Two years after Hargreaves brought out his Spinning Jenny, a Derbyshire ■barber's apprentice by the name of Arkwright patented a roller spinner and set up a water mill to make cotton goods. Six years later Cromp'on of Bolton combined these inventions in a machine that was called The Mule. Most of the successful innovations have been broadly based on the principle of the Spinning Jenny and the Roller Spinner. The first machines set up on the North American continent were in New England n 1783. The Canadan industry got under way at a little later date, but compared to any other manufacturing industry in this country, our cotton textile business is relatively very old. At the present time there are 10G production establishments operating in seven provinces. Although the main concentration is in Quebec and Ontario, manufacture is also carried on in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. Over 21,000 people are directly employed, of which 36 per cenit are women. Many more thousands find work in supplying materials of Canadian origin, such as rayon yarns, starches, rubher thread, dyestuffs. hi each es, chemicals, oils, spools, tubes and packing materials. Supplying the industry with machinery, ■building and heating materials and transportation services provides occupation for a further large class of wage earners. These direct and indirect employees of the cotton textile industry form a large body of con-sumers of. Canadian farm and other products, both the East and West. Since 1932 the total domestic market for cotton cloth has gradually increased, and the production of the mills has also increased. Due, however, to successive duty reductions, the Canadian mills have lost ground as compared to imports, the rates on cotton goods coming into Canada now being lower than those of any other important cotton manufacturing country in the world. Next annual meeting of the Canadian Seed Growers' Association will be held at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ontario, on June 15. 16, and 17. 1938. The President of the CS.G.A Lashburn.
