Improving Turnips Late sown Swede Turnips of good variety. when properly fertilized proâ€" duce high yields of high-grade stock. Authorities at O. A. C. recommend Kel- way’s Perfect Model and Canadian Gem, sown between June 15 and 25. Well-drained and well-prepared soil is essential for a successful crop. As a rule the turnip field is heavily manured. which insures good top growth. This should be supplemented by high phos- phate and medium potash fertilizers. O. A. C. tests have shown that average gains of 230 bushels per acre were ob- tained from the addition of 300 pounds from the addition of 300 pounds of 2- 12-8 or 3-10-5 fertilizers. Clovers are among the most valu- able crops grown on the farms of the province. Not only do they furnish a large percentage of the nitrogen supply in stock feeds but also a large part of the nitrogen supply in soil fertilization. These crops improve the mechanical condition of the soil and play a large part in making the soil fertility avail- able for the use of other plants. In an experiment conducted for a period of seven years at the O. A. C. it was found that Mammoth Red Clover yielded 2.94 tons, Alsike Clover 2.82 tons, and com- mon Red Clover 2.79 tons of hay per acre. In each case only one crop of hay was taken last season from Mam- moth Red and Alsike Clovers while in most years during the experiment two cuttings were obtained from Common Red. Experiments are now in progres and it is hoped to produce a strain of Red Clover which will reach hay con- dition at almost the same time as tim- othy.

Certified Dooley Potatoes secured from the Aliston and Acton Districts were distributed on May 19 from Mount Brydges to the one hundred and thirty (130) members of the Middlesex Farm Boys‘ Potato Club which was organized this spring by the London Chamber of Commerce and Middlesex Department. of Agriculture. Each member received one bag of po- tatoes. The plots will be judged during the summer and also inspected for cer~ tiflcation. so it is expected that the majority of the members will have cer- tified seed for field planting next year. The boys were also each supplied with a sixty ( 60) yound bag of special 4-8-19 potato fertilizer. Potatoes will be weighed from fertilized and unfertilized portions of the plots. Each potato club boy will be sponsor- ed by an interested Chamber of Com- merce member. Clover Crop Valuable Phone 70. 17c. 17c. The philanthropic lady was visiting a sthool. To test the brightness of a group of rather poor pupils she ques- tioned: “Children, which is the greatest From the Conservative standpoint the issue is somewhat deeper. Hon. R. B. Bennett sounded the key-note of the Opposition’s campaign in his speech at Guelph recently when he asked if the government having been brought to the point where they realized the inade- quacy of their policies of the past nine years to keep them in power, were to be allowed to turn around and em- brace those policies which they had previously so bitterly opposed. Was public life in Canada to become so un- principled. the Conservative Leader asker. that the mere attainment of office was to'justify any means which might have to be used? The Conservatives declare that the budget itself is not an issue, so far as a choice between themselves and the government is concerned. All the pro- tection that the Liberals are granting at last to Canadian labor after having withheld it for nine years will be grant- ed by the Conservatives,â€"and more. The sole issue, so far as they are con- cerned, is whether or not a government is to be allowed to break faith with those who elected it, renounce the policies for which it has stood. and ex- periment with a system which it is not qualified by experience or convic- tion to enforce.â€"-all in order that it may remain in the saddle and enjoy the emoluments of power. The final days of parliament served to reveal the manner in which the big interests of the country had been able to exploit a natural resource which should have belonged to the people for their own benefit, to the tune of hund- reds of millions of dollars. Hon. Mr. Bennett has gone on record as favoring a judicial investigation into the whole deal. One of the questions for the voters promises to be a choice between a party which is opposed to all such ex- ploitation and would examine all sus- picious circumstances connected with past transaction. and a party which, while in the seat of government. sane- tioned the exploitation, and when its questionable nature was made fullv There promises to be a. subsidiary issue of importance in the campaign. It is eve; t_he Bepuhafnois power deal. Outstanding amongst the develop- ments during the last hours of parlia- ment was the disclosure of the Gov- ernment’s uneasiness lest the forthcom- ing election should end in a stalemate. Premier King discussed the stsibiltty with the members frankly, setting forth what the course of the government would be in such contingency. Con- siderable significance was attached to his pronouncement by political observ- ers. It was interpreted as an indica- tion that the Prime Minister viewed the outlook for his administration With so little Optimism that the possibility of a draw. not the probability of a victory. was engaging his thoughts. In the course of his statement, Mr. King de- clared that the government. if faced by a stalemate. would not attempt to carry on this time, but would advice His Ex‘ cellencv to summon parliament immed- iately in order that the future course of events might be determined at; speedily as possible. It would follow as a matter of course that the Government would not presume to represent Canada at the Imperial Conferences in London until the issue of confidence should be settled. It was a labored conclusion which the Commons finally reached. There was no outstanding contention, but for a time it seemed as though the debate had become e‘ndowed with all the qual- ities of Tennyson’s brook, and would go on forever. Only by negotiation a- mongst the three party leaders was pro- rogation in time for a July election fin- ally achieved. Apart from this statement the wind- up of Parliament was largely a matter of winding-up routine business. Any- thing of a contentious nature was jet- tisoned. with consequent loss to many interests. Christian Scientists lost the amendment to the criminal code reliev- ing them of the obligation of summon- ing medical attention in cases of serious illness. Montreal lost Federal assist- ance to a bridge project at Caughna- waga. The Government however. was the principal sufferer. It failed to get through a bill to add a part of the dis- trict of Patricia to the riding of Ken- ora-Rainy River. for which the Min- ister of Labor sits. Hon. Lucien Can- non. Solicitor-General. claimed that the section in question had been left out of any riding in the 1924 redistribution. Hon. Mr. Bennett, however. denying this. charged the “most bare-faced. bold and iniquitous attempt ever made in the dying hours of parliament to pass a piece of political legislation”. The purpose of the bill. as the Opposition Leader saw it. was to make Hon. Peter Heenan's seat safe for the Liberal Party. When the curtain rung down on the parliamentary stage it becomes pos- sible for the first time to analyze the session and see the issue which it has left for the forthcoming general elec- tion to decide. From the Liberal stand- point the issue is the budget, per se. The government claims to be profer- ring to industry the assistance which it needs to enable it to meet the United States competition and it is asking the country to accept its preposals at their face value and approve them while at the same time assuring the west that tariffs are reduced.
