There appears to be a more general interest in the sowing of registered seed and the growing of registered grain this year than ever before. Down in Renfrew County last year they had the largest number of registered seed growers on record and the number will likely be increased in 1932. Most of the seed-cleaning plants have been running steadily for some time and one or two Farmers in Wellington County are worried about their seed oats and many will use seed oats from the 1930 crap, which is most unusual.

The Russians are an undisciplined peOple; they dislike going to work at a certain time, stapping at a certain time; they knew almost nothing twelve years ago about machines or machinery, con- sequently they have mishandled many of their fine machines and have been in many cases unable to operate a fac- tory after it was built and ready for Operation, but year by year they are learning to do these new things. They are throwing a terrific amount of en- ergy and determination into the task; they are doing without a great many the most conservative men on the earth and he is a political force which all French governments must reckon with. The Russian peasant, according to the speaker, is becoming less and less, rather than more and more, con- servative. It is a tragedy for the older people on the land who can never fit themselves into the new ways, but the young people like the new method. 'food in the cities increased. The Soviet ggovernment sought to meet this need [by the taking of food stufls and the creating of great collective farms and the peasant struck back by burying his wheat in the ground. using as much of his own product as he possibly could and killing great quantities of livestock. The Soviet government then, accOrd- ing to Mr. Hindus, removed the ele-; ment of force, said to the peasants “only come into the collective farming scheme if you wish. We will not take your product. Do not kill your live- stock," and from then on, while the peasant was induced in every possible way to go in for co-operative or collec- tive farming, he was not forced to. Gradually, however. the peasant gave up private ownership in the land until today 70 per cent. of agriculture has been collectivized. In Mr. Hindus’ Opin- ion the Russian revolution would have followed almost exactly in the steps of the French revolution if the peasants had become deeply rooted in their own land. The French peasant is one of gan to work their plan. During the revolution the landlords had been driv- en out or killed off; almost no one was left on the land who could, or did, farm expertly. The quantity of agricul- tural produce fell off and the need for had a plan for social reconstruction; the peasants with their great land hun- ger, were the two determining factors in the revolution In 1917 the peasants seized the land and the tacticians be- some, it is true, but they profited great- ,ly by coming in contact with the vivid ’personality of Maurice Hindus. He is young. energetic, sincere and intensely interested in his subject; then too, the spoken word is always more revealing; it is alive, vital. The spirit of the speaker reaches the hearer as it cannot the reader. Mr. Hindus sketched the revolution from its beginning.

When moving trees in dry weath- er, the roots should be protected by wet burlap or blankets. In planting, the hole should be suf- ficiently large to take the roots with- out cramping. Rich loam should be well worked in around the roots. Some of the branches should be removed to oflset the loss of roots, and in pruning, the final desired shape of the tree should be kept in mind, such as the distance the lowest branch should be from the ground. The white elm, sugar maple, red maple, red oak, white ash and white oak are fine trees for planting in all parts of Southern Ontario. The soft or silver maple should not be wanted ex- tensively as it has very brittle wood which breaks badly when exosed to heavy winds and ice storms. ‘ The native sumach and dogwood make attractive shrubs for planting around the grounds.

This was the second lecture Mr. Hindus has made in Toronto this year. It is now rumored that Parliament will adjourn within two weeks time. This is only made possible by the shelv- ing of the Radio Commission’s report and the report of the Royal Commis-l sion on the railroads and' transporta-' Ltion until the Fall session. It is thought that the 1933 session will meet for a month or two before Christmas, then carry on again after the holiday is over. I think a great deal is lost by not act- ing on the reports of commissions dur- ing the sessions in which they are brought down. The members of the committee are “up on their toes” on' the subjects they have been investigat- ing; the House is soon made familiar with the subject by those who are ex- ports and desirable action seems to me more likely to result.
