Certain districts reported, in lthe way that the grasshoppers are' ‘not a menace, there being no crops ifor them to destroy! and others that l {the hoppers were developing ecum- ibalistlc tendencies! The way, strewn with corpses of grophers bent On sui- lcide beneath the juggernaut cars, led lto the Dominion Experimental.

There was the vicious system, adopted by the im- provident and greedy, of extending the acreage, so that a whole section of 9‘4 acres 0might produce a crop of wheat equal to that once grown on a mif. And so thesesoil -mining pioneers proceeded unrestrainxl in their work of destruction, until the the skies ovef Winnipeg, while on the exchange there wheat was marked up another cent a bushel. Conversely a shower of rain in Alberta would send the price down, to the dismay of of the speculator in the world‘s sta- ple food. In the premier wheatâ€"producing pro- vince of Saske'tchewan the situation is desperate, says B, Leslie Emsile In the south are farmers. so called, who are content if they harvest one good crop in five but have not one in six years. There are children of four who have never seen‘rain" the only precipitation during their young- lives having been in the form of snow. Many of these children are afflicted with silicosis from the dust which penetrates even the houses. de spite the storm windows which are permanent fixtures. One may be ask- ed to admire the fortitude and optism of these unfortunate people; but it isn’t farming, and the sooner these lands are evacuted and induced to grow grass again, if that is now possible, the better it will be fer the general welfare of the country. Manitoba is the one bright spot where crops are generally good, thanks to the fairly generous rains and to the greater development of mixed faming which includes the growing of sweet clover hay. Alberta too, is good in spots, though the Ed- monton district has not fared so well as usual. A trip from Saskatoon to Rosthern in the] ast week of June, afforded an opportunity to see and feel the ef- fects of heat and drought. On either side of the highway stretched fields which wit the opefulness of spring ad been seeded to grain, now scorch- ed and wilted by merciless sun and drying winds. Some wheat had head- ed, but most of it lacked the vigor for that effort at reproduction and of f‘ered a scant meal to the grasshop- pers of which a plague had been pre- insects from sprays or dusts Spraying thep lants with nicotine sulphate 40 per cent (Black eLaf 40 and water ,to which has been added a small amount of laundry soap is the easiest and e‘bst method of con- trol. In small amounts two teaspoons of nicotine should be used in a gal- lon of soap water, For larger a- mounts, nicotine should lbe used at the rate of %ths"of a pint to 40 gal- lons of water with two to three lbs. of soap add-ed. The ma erial should be applied on a hot. calm day, drenching both upper and lower surfaces of the leaves so far as to actually hit all the insects. In protecting field crops, at least 1 gallons of tin spray should i used per acre at each application. Two or three applications at weekly intervals will be necessary for com- plete control. In buying nicotine sul- phate in quantity, large containers should be purchased in preference to a number of small bottles or cans because the cost is very much re- duced by buying in bulk lots.

Italy would oppose any partial dis- cussion.” Italian newspapers have printed in- dications that Italy’s reply to the An- glo-French invitation would include a declaration that Italy shares the dc: sire expressed by those countries to arrange a. thorough discussion of the Spanish civil war.
