If the seed wheat contains smut balls these must be removed by means of fanning mill or floating them off in water. The 'most common method of treating for this smut in Ontario is the formilin treatment. gallons of water, Place the grain to be treated in a heap on a clean floor; sprinkle the formalin solution over the grain, then shovel into another pile so as to mix it thoroughly; then sprinkle and shovel again. Repeat the operation until every grain is moistened by the solution then cover the pile with bags or sacking that have been sprinkled and leave for 3 or 4 hours. Next spread the grain out thinly to dry. A pint used fn this way should treat 50 bushels. The so-called dry treatment, 1 pint formalin to 1 pint of water which is so effective on oats is not recommend- "{ ed for wheat as there is danger of injury to the germ of the wheat.

While it has been the official organ of the Orange Order in Canada for many years. The Sentinel has heretofore been privately owned and controlled, With the purchase of the paper by Grand Lodge, that body assumes direct control of the publication. It is understood that the Grand Lodge's offer of $20,000 for the paper has been accepted by the Sentinel Pub- lishing Company and that possession will be taken in the near future. H. | C. Hocken, M.P., who has guided the destinies of The Sentinel for the last 2 years, will remain at his present post as editor. No change in the style or policy of the paper is plan- ned in the immediate future. For many years there has been a movement on foot to have Grand Lodge take over The Sentinel, and the present action of that body is a re- sult of this agitation, Two years ago when a company headed by Morgan J. O'Brien, of Ottawa, had an option on the property for $35,000, consider- able objection was expressed by members of the Order to The Sentinel changing ownership unless the pur- chasers were the Grand Lodge. How- ever, that option expired on Sept. 15, 1926, without Mr. O'Brien and his associates taking it up. That year the County Orange Lodge of Fast York passed a resolution memorial- izing the Grand Lodge to consider purchasing the paper. At the present time the constitution provides that every new member shall be enrolled as a paid-up subscriber for- one year from the date of his initiation. Two years ago an unsuccessful effort was put forth to have this sub-section eliminated. - The Sentinel celebrated its Golden Jubilee in July, 1925. Founded in 1874 by F. G. Bailey it was purchased in 1876 by the late ex-Mayor E. F, Clarke, who assumed control, and on his death in 1905 the paper was pur- chased by The Sentinel Publishing Go. of Which H. C. Hocken is president. Mr. Hocken was Grand Master and Sovereign of the Grand Orange of British North America in 1918-19. wets (J (memes NEW BRANCH OPENED The Royal Bank of Canada has opened its branch here, which adds another branch to its total number of branches in Canada, which are over | impo Ly 9th strongest bank in the world, with exceeding 880 million Mr. B.

Special | (ON WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH LAKE SCUGOG There are few people who live in this district who do not see the splendid possibilities of Lake Scugog. All it needs to make it one of the most popular lakes in Ontario is a judicious expenditure of money. Its natural scenic beauty, coupled with its readiness of access to the citizens of both Toronto and Oshawa, warrants the expenditure of both money and time for the improvement of this lake. There are five main improve the Lake. 1. Maintaining the water level, 2. Securing clear central channels, and sub channels to the various points along the lake and Island shores, 3. A campaign to control lake weeds. 4. Appointing a Fish Conservator, whose duties shall include (a) Prevention of illegal fishing. . (b) Replenishing the fish supply in proper manner. (¢) Destruction of carp--enemy of 'lunge, bass, and pickerel, (d) Installing and maintaining a proper fish slide at Lind- say. 5. Advertising and popularizing Lake Scugog. The first three of these objects are the business of the Do- minion Government ; the fourth is under the control of the Ontario Government and the fifth is the task of every resident in this district--a task, that properly performed will bring rich returns. Lake Scugog is under the control of the Dominion Govern- ment. The lake was made by order of the Government when water concessions were given to William and Hassard Purdy at Lindsay in 1832, and the lake is maintained by the locks at Lind- say, which are under Government control. This matter is well set forth in the following extract from "On the Shores of Scugog:" y "There was but small milling accommodation in the early days of settlement; and this difficulty extended far beyond the vicinity of Reach and Scugog. The matter was brought to the notice of the Government, and about 1832 a grant of 400 acres of land and certain water privileges was granted to William and Has- sard Purdy, at Lindsay, on condition that they erect suitable mills. These men acordingly built a dam across the Scugog River. This dam had no locks in it, and the water in Lake Scugog was raised fully four feet. This turned the shallow marshy water, with its broad creek running through, into a lake worthy of notice of the geographer. There was always a lake around Scugog Island, but before that first dam was built at Lindsay, the water was very shallow except at times of flood. Early maps of this district did not show Lake Scugog at all. Shallow water permitted growth of a forest of tamarac trees at the south end of the Island; but these were killed out when the water was raised, and the result was a desolate looking waste. Matters remained in this condition for about ten years; the high water being allowed to do any damage it could, because there were but few settlers, and nobody made any complaint to the Govenment. As the land became set- tled, however, an effort was made to have the water trouble remedied. The result of these efforts was that the Government built 'another dam a quarter of a mile south of that which the Purdys put up. This dam was equipped with locks, and allowed the water to sink so that much less land was flooded. : Further contracts were made in 1843 between the Govern- ment and thePurdys, by which the latter agreed to use the surplus water of the lake, but not to such an extent as to im naviga- tion. "That agreement has been the cause of much trouble. Peo- ple whose land was low and likely to be flooded would complain of loss owing high water, while others maintained that the water was 80 low that navigation was impeded, the fishing si led, and the general health of the community endangered. these two parties have been striving to gain the ear of the successive Governments, the mill owners have naturally gone on water in such a manner as best suited their convenience. Electricity now re-places water power at Lindsay. : s Several years ago, a local delegation met the Hon. Geo. P. Graham and travelled with him through the Kawartha Lake sys- tem, pointing out the need of maintaining the water at devel. = At that time the stop log was ordered to be put on the ; up.
