Suppose for instance it takes' $40 to tile drain an acre of land sys- tematically, but by so doing several hollows which never produced more than half 'a crap before now yield more than any place else in the field. Supposing another wet area which al- ways drowned out does likewise, and 'W‘w “-vvvâ€"vâ€" in all we have twenty-five bushels of wheat instead of. twenty, or we have sixty bushels of oats instead. 01 fifty. These estimates are much too low. but conservative estimates are safe. Let us see what interest we make on our money. Taking the present price of wheat as $1.40 per bushel, we have made $7 on an outlay of $40, which is 17% per cent. on our inâ€" vestment. With oats at 450 we have 11%, per cent. on our investment, and if these are not good returns 1 don’t know where to find them. Government Loans at Low Rates. For the use of this money, on which you make large interest, the Government asks you only 5 per cent. You have twenty years to return it, long before which you have been reâ€" paid several times. Under the present act anyone wishing to tile can borrow 76 per cent. of the cost of his work up to $2,000 per hundred acres. The loan is obtained through the township council, which is responsible for pass- ing the necessary by-laws and the issuing of the debentures for sale to the Provincial Treasurer. No town- ship council alive to the necessity of underdrainage would refuse to oe- come interested in obtaining such a loan for any of their ratepayers. Further Government assistance by way of surveys, plans and specifica- tions for drainage work may be ob- tained by applying to th‘é Drainage Department, 0. A. C., G lph. They will also be glad to assist individuals or councils in discussing with them the Tile Drainage Act. or in mailing them copies in which they :an get the details.â€"â€"F. L. Ferguson, 0. A. College, Guelph. The place which fruits are assum- ing in the dietary of man is one of growing importance. Certain species like the apple and pear, the plum and the grape, have long enjoyed a oe- served popularity; others which were once among the rarities in the United States are now in great favor. The ripening of fruits plays so im- portant a part in their availability, and some of the problems of trans- portation, that authentic information on this subject is much to be desired. Some fruits, like the apple, may be allowed to ripen almost fully on the tree, and may be kept in the ripened condition for relatively long periods, if proper attention be paid to their manipulation and storage. The physical changes, like the vari- ation in. color of ripening fruits, are familiar, since they are evident to the senses; but these alterations are merely indicative of changes in the chemical make-up of the fruits under the conditions which determine ripen- ing. Heat, moisture, air and light may all participate in determining the characteristic changes that ensue. Laboratory reports of statisticians’ investigations in recent years have given clearer indications of what takes place. Among the changes are the transformation of the starch into sugar, the conversion of soluble tan- nin compound with their astringent properties into insoluble forms, the actual lessening of the quantity of a'cid, or the- masking of the acidflavor by the accumulation of sugar, the sqttening of woody tissue, and the increase and storage of juice. With the growing knowledge of what the ripening of fruits really in- volves, we are ‘certain to acquire [bet- ter ideas of. what a prOperly ripened product should really be. The fact that unripened (winter) apples are unfit for consumption in the early fall, because instead of sugar they contain a large amount 0 ram starch. which Will disappear wi h the “mel- Iowing” process, will be understood in a niore intellige‘nt way than has usually been the case. Our highways would be much more attractive if lined with shade trees. These trees could be set 50 or more feet apart and would do little damage either to the adjoining property or the roadway. They would make the road pleasanter to travel over and aléo to 5live by. Go through the grain fields with the object of removing impurities and noxious weeds. - Shade Trees on Highways.

Peter Bryce told a W.C.T.U. convention in Toronto recently that industry had been greatly stabilized by 'prohibition. We quote a report of his remarks: “There are fewer blue Mend ass fewer accidents and fewer bad debts. A manager of a large business had stated that in one year after prohiâ€" bition debts to his firm were reduc- ed from thousands to $1,500. M 211111-- facturers of candy and dealers in ice cream and sweets had found their business greatly increased, the money previously spent selfishlv on liquor now being used to buy treats for the family circie. Mr. Bryce \\ cut on to show by convincing staâ€" tistics that prohibition had been :1 success. In answer to the constant assertion that drugs are more in rte... mand than ever before he stated that. in 1919 convictions against the Op- Iium and Drug Act; numbered 107 inâ€" iherta. 1116 in British Columbia 207 1111 Ontario, 383 in 011ebec,z'18 in Sasâ€" hatches an and :21 in Manitoba, and none in Nee Brunsuick.
