NEWSPAPER LAW and Mr. J. mumm, with Walkerton Markdale Hanover of last Bosh-r, JOSvph Fur some years. the experiments with (mi-net wheat. have been assum- ing an ever-increasing importance in the eyes at Mr. Newman. For «weral spawns. he brought on this new variety in the little experi- mental sail patches at the Ottawa farm. Then as he noticed its rapid ripening qualities, he decided to push it faster. Seeds were sent nut. in the various experimental farms and subjeetml to different. climatic renditions. Garnet wheat stmd up under all these tests. "I think that Garnet wheat will he a most. usMul wheat, for certain ;i:ll't3 or Western Canada," was all hP would say.

This is Garnet. wheat, which, unless the final tests, which are to be made in the course of the next. few months, show weaknesses not. hitherto dis- covered. is to be made available for seed purposes next spring.

It “ill perhaps, he gixen such a rim stimulus as was received when Marquis wheat first was develop ed and qmade axailable to the farmers. a week. others perhaps only two days. Carrying out, the thought further, we also find that some plants though growing in the same sized pot. and bulk of soil as others. do not draw upon the soils moisture to the extent as do the others. This may he duo to one or both of two conditions (:1) having smaller leaves and other transpiring surfaces or thickened cuticles (skin) they do not. give off as much moisture as those with large transpiring sur- faces. Examples of the former class. Cactus: of the latter. Coleus and large leaved Begonias. (h) Being newly potted or lacking a good root system. they do not, rob the soil of moisture as do the plants which are pot-houndAâ€"the soil being filled with roots. We should not for get that as the unions kinds of plants are potted in soils of different texture, these soils will mm in their power to retain moisture some will hold it The plants which we grow in our homes are of a very diversified na- ture. some naturally gmw wild in tropical or sub-tropical countries, others in sub-temperate regions. Some delight in the full blaze of the desert sun, as for instance, the Cacti. others in the shade of the forest, the ferns and some of the palms, require a light, porous oil for their welfare, with lots of vege- table matter therein (humus) ; others require a heavier soil. Many can endure without much moisture at the. root~ others must have it more abundantly, or they will not grow successfully. In spite of all these things. wonderful success may be achieved when care is exercised in our homes in the culture of house plants, even when the plants of a nature so diverse have to be gnown under practicaly one condition, that which the living-room affords. Conditions Necessary for Success Plants require air, warmth, mois- ture and foodier their welfare, but in this article, we will deal only with the practice of watering, for upon this. all conditions being right, will surely hang the fate of our plants. To know when and how to water the plants is knowledge of prime importance without which success‘will not be possible. 1 1'. watEHoâ€"dse Plants (Henry J. Moore) THE DURHAM CHRONICLE During summer, growing plants will require more water than dur- ing winter, and this may be applied practically at any time during the May. In winter however. the plant should properly be watered only on the warmest and brightest days and superfluous water will drain away before nightfall. The water used should he at the temperature of the room. It need not necessarily be said that the pots should not at this or any other time be allowed to stand in the water which has drained from the soil. Harmful at all times. in winter it is doubly so to allow the water to remain in the saucers or jardinieres. Apply Fertilizers Carefully Whether newly potted or not, the forementioned is a great way to as- certain the moisture content of the soil. When, however, it is contem- plated to apply fertilizers to the soil, this should only be done when after potting, the plant is well root- ed. its fine feeding roots thoroughly permeating the. soil and extending out to the sides of the. pot. With- out doubt. nitrate of soda. used in the preportion of 1,4 ounce to the gallon of water, is a good stimu- lant, if used occasionally, perhaps hi-monthly, or any of the plant tab- lets used aecording to directions. These latter usually containing; phoSphoric acid and potash as welll as__n_itrogen in ayailahle forms. i If the pot rings, there will be air Spaces in the soil from which the moisure has been withdrawn. If it does not ring, these air spaces are filled with moisture. Where then would be the sense of apply- ing water to a soil which is still nearly saturated? To do this would be but to court failure with our plants because surely a sodden con- dition of the soil and perhaps also an acid condition would result through the injudicious application. In the case of Cacti, even when the pot rings somewhat when tapped. it is not always wise to apply water, the enormous quantity in their cells being sufficient to tide them over for a few days even. when the soil has become dry. earth, the water coming in absolute contact with each particle of soil and each tiny rootlet. The best wa which, though not infallible, to tel when the plant requires water is to tap the ppot with a hard object such as a knife handle, or the knuckle of the finger. If the pot rings, the soil is fairly or entirely dry. If the sound is dull, usually there will be plenty of moisture in the soil. Time for.

The Carle- ton Place Canadian gives an exam- ple of what advertising did for the Independent candidate in Lanark. “Mr. Gemmell,” says the Canadian. “who was practically unknown to many of the electors outside of Smith’s Falls, made his appeal prac- tically exclusively through the col- umns of the newspapers throughout this county, and without holding . ., 5m HOW I!
