Even the accounting system is a model of con- densation and simplicity. Ten years of operation have proved that the theory of the Natural and Inevitable lnefliciency of a Public Service is false ~-body and bones. “nth the {in of horse-sense and the determina- ion to do a $ood job the members of the Hydro-F. ectric Commission have giaproved the theory and have estab: ‘fHV'V'Vu ”"1 :uvv-g ""7." . lghed a tradatnon of efllcnqcy which V111 prevent decadence 1n future "Iun. \_ . . .

But this is as exceptional. as is the 32 tons needed by an ancient boiler wastefully tired.

This measure, which constitutes an am- endment to the Seed Control Act, prohibits the oxfering for sale of farm seeds that have been given 1 a false or spurious name. Neither will the seller be allowed to offer seeds or plants under a new variety name not generally employed in Canada for that particular variety unless he first obtains :1 license therefor from the Minister of Agriculture. The Minister may refuse to issue a li- eense in respect of the use of any kind or variety name unless or until the seeds 111' plants have been sub- mitted to a propagating: test or the mature plants have been examined and operated 1111011. -\ license will not be granted for the selling of an old variety under a new name. In ernlanation of this amendment it may he eited that farmer or dealer might unintentionally sell seed oats under the name of "Banner" and de-l liver seed Hats that were not true to; that variety. A romnlaint might be laid against him under another see- i tien (if the Act. but the section under ‘1e\ie\\ is not intended it) apply to sneh an offence since the variety named “Banner" as applied to oats cannot he held to be false or spur- ious or new. The. provision is in- tended to apply to persons who i11- ivent new names for old standard varieties. It is rw'aided as likely 'that. this new regulation will give zenetvuragement to plant. breeders by atria-ding them more protection with respeet to sueh new sorts as they Iniay nriginate. nzw cumzs nun: II EUROPEAN CORN BORER QUARANTINE AREA EXTENDED ()n Foln'nary 26 an m'ilorâ€"in-munâ€" vil was passm‘l which quarantined Hm f(_)llowing twrritnry in Ontario on awmmt. 0f the 'Em-upoan cum borer: The Counties of Essex.

Up almost at the northern tip of Alaska, looking out on the frozen Arctic Ocean, is the little hamlet of Wainwright. Probably few if any of our readers ever heard of it before but it will win at least a momentary fame when, on June 20, Mr. Roald' Amundsen “hops off" there on his" aeronlane flight across the north polar regions. He means to fly in a straight line from Wainwright to some point on the island of Spitz- hergen. That will carry him direct- ly over the Pole and will give him an extraordinary opportunity to ob- serve and map-if there is anything to mapma large (‘XllallSt‘ in the heart «if the polar zone on which no one else has ever looked. There is not 'murh likelihood that he will pass over any land until he reaches Spitz- hergrn. for the top of the earth lr~ most likely (‘tht‘I‘t'tl by ”It‘ Arrlir Sea; but. if there are any islands within» a l‘eaStmable distance of his course he should are them.
