Fly Paper for Tent Caterpillars. The Peterborough Review says: Some Peterborough citizens have inaugurated a new system of warfare against the pestilerons caterpillar. Around the thinks di'tree's‘ on their promises or in front of their residences, six feet or so from the ground so as to be beyond the reach of the predatory small boy, they bind strips of ordinary fly paper With the sticky substance outward. When the caterpillar climbs the trunk of the tree to feast on the foliage, he encount- ers the fly paper and there meets his doom. The leaves of the shade trees in the city may yet be saved from distructi-on if every citizen would adopt this means of fighting the caterpillar. SUN [:1 [:l [El 1‘1 [3.

FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1912. l The appeal case of Isaac vs.Callan came up at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, last week, and the judgement given for the defendant at the former trial was set aside. The case will be tried again at the autumn assizes. v Raising a Dust. The evident lack of complete har- mony in the ranks of the Democratic party, as manifested at the Baltimore convention, following closely the Taft- Roosevelt fight at Chicago, adds much interest to the presidential situation in the United States, especially for people who take seriously the sayings and doings of the party leaders and bosses. There is much speculation as to the outcome of the apparent differ- ences, and some talk of the forma- tion of a new party composed of the “progressive ” Republicans and Dem- ocrats. It is absolutely necessary at this time to make a good strong bluff at doing something for the people, and it is not beyond the bounds of possi- bility that the whole dust has been raised to obscure the genuine pro~ gressive candidate, Debs. It will be remembered that Mark Hanna, shortly before his death, predicted that the next great political struggle in the United States would be between Re- publicanism and Socialism. To en- deavour to postpone the inevitable conflict much “progressive” talk must be expected from both Republicans and Democrats, who, however, are powerless to rid the people of their burdens. Nothing short of the na- tionalization of the trusts and other utilities will suffice. ‘ ' Promoiion Exams.

The news item going the rounds» of itlie press with reference to the use of dynamite for the purpose of breaking .up the hard subsoil of some of the 1farms of Eastern Ontario, leads a con- iteinpeigary to remark that the cultiva- tion of alfalfa will eventually accom- plish all that is claimed for dynamite. Alfalfa is less sudden and spectacular than dynamite, but is equally as sure and effective, if not more so. Its benefits are lasting, as it stays in the 'soil' or leaves something in the soil if replaced by other crops. Dynamite merely breaks up the hardpan, which 'inay pessibly become sot again. The V.
