ER wheat is one of the cash crops of On- >. It has been found by i farm surveys in the Unit- {ed States and Canada thet In very many ynees, even In the live stock « ricts, cash crops can fre- | quently be grown to great advantage Ontario is an impurtant producer of winter wheat, ¢ ially of the white varieties which yield well and bring good prices for pastry, breakfast foods, ete 2 Winter wheat can be g'®wn satis- factorily on a yarféty of soils. It thrives particularly well, ' however, {on a rich lsam containing a con siderable amount of vegetable mat- ter.

C No. 104, originated at the Ontario Agricultural College from a cross of the Dawson's Golden Chaff and the Bulgarian, is very promising. In the past six years it has produced an an- nual average yield of grain per acre of 45 bushels, while the Golden Chaff for the same period has produced 40.5% bushels and the Bul- garign 37.5 vushels. It has also tak en the lead over Ontario in the co- operative exp ments in each of the past two ye This variety will again be distributed in the fall of the present vear for co-operative ex- periments over Ontario to be tested with one or two other varieties in plots one rod wide by two rods long.

Much of this apathy on the part of the farmer towards the proper care and management of his farm equipment is due in a large measiire to the I&¢K of appreciation of the fact that tools and machines cannot give maximum of efficiency when allowed to become coated with { dirt and rust. { . The arst requisite in this direction 18 10 properly house thet. This above all is the most Impor- (tant. It is needless to show the #pid detérioration of steel, iron, wood, canvas, or anything that goes into .the construction of farm ma- chines, when they are out of doors and exposed to the elements. Of course, the factors conditioning their life and working efficiency are cor- rosion of the metals ontering into their construction, due to atmos- | pheric actioas; the disintegration of | the paint and varnishes from the | sam® cause, and the decay of the { wooden parts due to heat and mois- ture, There is, however, no reliable CA&ta available that will give us the coellicient of corrosiom, but every | farmer is aware that the moldbcard {of a plough subjected to dewy nights jor damp weather conditions for a. i few 'nights will so rust the bright | moldboard as to pit its surface that {Jt requires several rounds of the { field to bring it. back to godd work- {ing condition. Such a hard metal is | undoubtedly much slower to corrode [than either ast or wrought irom, | hence machines and tools left out | exposed to silkinds of weather, the | bearings and 'working parts of ma- | chinery and (he cutting edges of tools will become so badly affected with rust os to render new parts neces- sary inthe machines and good grind- ing and honsing of the tools to put {them in workable condition. ; The questivn of good and efficient mabagement of machinery is an im- portant one to the farmer it he only ! gould be made to realize the amount of hard cash he loses through his | indifference and neglect of them. | What farmer would not protest in vigorous terms if he were told when purchasing his binder, say for"$150, that its life would be about thirty days -- a competent authority esti- | mates its average life to be twenty- i four days used for six days in a year. i Yet, through the sae farmer's care 'lossness and ndifference, a machine built to last al ledst twenty years is {reduced to, say at most, five years, Atgbe present time there are many iieasons why farmers should take i good care of their equipment.

In the south. ern Sahara the Doumor Egyptian palm is found; it does not bear fruit, but the trunk and branches serve various purposes. The Apir possesses other arborescent species -- notably mimosas of all sorts; in the most unpromiging regions, Foureau be- lieves that wooded plateaux still exist. ; "The Sahara contains a number of forage plants and shrubs. It was upon these that the caravans pas tured, and- that even the 1.200 or 1.300 camels of the Foureau-Lamy expedition and its auxiliafy convoys succeeded in sustaining themselves. "It must not be forgotten that we are speaking here of spontaneons vegetation, Ly'which grows without - demanding help or labor from .man, It is, therefore, an incontestable fact that these pasture lands are capable of a certain degree of improvement, provided there is xn initial establish= | ment of roads of communication. This improvement ean be attained by the selection of the best grasses, forage plants and arborescent spe- cies. According to Messrs, L. Trabut and R. Mares, the Saharan plants are very remarkable in their adaptation to a dry climate and a salty earth. The date tree is adapted to those Saharan regions, which are well pro- vided with water; beneath the date trees cultivation to kitchen garden is very well developed. In the oases are found the fig tree, the apricot, the peace and the grape, Agriculture suc- ceeds well in the oases of the north as at Biskra. The cultivated cereals are harley, wheaf, sorghum and mil- let; lucerne is the forage plant of the oasis. It is of a very beautiful variety, with wide leaves and seems very resistant to salt." Industrial cultivation is now confined to a few plants, such as madder and a variety | of tobacco used for snuff. Ypres, i Du sublime au ridicule il n'y a gu'un pas, said Napoleon. Tragedy andgromedy, it is alse well recos- nized, do not lie leagues apart. A concrete example, and one which both Britain and Belgium could well have dispensed with, is scen, at the pres- ent time, in the conditicn of Ypres. Though so short a time has elapsed since the tragedy of the war envelop ed the old Flemish town, it was yet possible, on the first day of the month of June, for an Ypres Veteran" to write to a homs journal that a party of colonial officers wisiting Ypres were deeply moved "at the general tendency to make Ypres a sort of second-rate country fair." It was nderstood that Ypres was perman~ atly to remain "a monument of Ger an ruthlessness and allied tenacity nd sacrifice." If so, one Ypres vet- considers that the chief historic es should be as free from chead tructucal eyesores as the Forum or ® Colosseum. An opinion which ill be shared by British and RBel- glans alike.
