L History to complete] Intenseiindignation is felt in commercial circles at the sanction given by the Domâ€" inion Railway Commissionersto railways to increase freight rates by 20 per cent. Since 1916 increases amounting to 40 per cent have been allowed. Having to pay increased wages to employees is given as the reason for the increase so, as ever, the consumer, in paying extra freight rates is paying the extra wages. We are asked to look at the States : but the comparison is not fair. American railways are owned by government, and extra rates are helping national revenues. In Canada, railways are private corpora tions and all profits are absorbed by them. The Dominion Railway Commissioners might have considered the consumer as worthy of some consideration.

It splintered a tree not 100 feet away from them and stunned one of the horses. It was feared the animal would die,â€" but it is getting over the shock, and Fred expects to work it again in about a week. Other than reâ€" ceiving a nervous shock at the time, the men were none the worse. Our sincere sympathy is extended to Mr J. Lambert of the Mt. Forest Repreâ€" sentative over the painfully sudden death ot his wife, who died on Friday last . She had been attending to household duties as usual, took dinner with the family and lay down on a couch to rest. Mr Lambert shortly after spoke to her, but getting no response went close to her to find her unâ€" conscious. â€" The docter was called but sh¢ was past human aid and passed away. ‘Two sons, Norman and Elmer, mourn with the husband. Norman is well known as a prolific writer to the Globe and other papers, She is spoken of as a woman of beautiful Christian character. New Pest found on Potatoes Mysterious Disease said to be playing Havos with vines in this District Asif the ordinary potato bug, either the shell back variety or the other kind that might pass itself off as a red curiant if it would keep still, were not enough for potato growers to contend with, anâ€" other pest has been reported as actively at work in this district. The new enemy is described as a very small green fly, closely resembling the green aphis often found on rose bushes. It takes up its abode on the under side of the leaves and apparently sucks the juice, causing the leaves to shrivel and curl up just as a rose leaf does when atâ€" tacked by the green aphis _ Paris green and the other ordinary potato bug "dopes" do not seem to bother it much. A number of gardeners have been wonâ€" dering for some little time why their vines were wilting and some thought they were merély ripening ; and it was not until just recently that anything wrong was suspected. In many cases not only the leaves but the stalks have been affected, the stalks apparently drying up and falling over. ‘This condition, it was thought, was the result of the ravages of the fly ; but as to that opinions differ. f Some potato growers sought advice on the matter, and were advised to use a spray of lime and bluestone, commonly known as Bordeaux mixture, which, it is said would be effective if the insects had not made too much progress. If they had then the only thing to be done was to dig the potato if they were fit and use them as soon as possible. According to the Botanical Dept. of the Ontario Agricultural College, howâ€" ever, the trouble is more deepâ€"rooted. Mir. Jas. Cochrane who was one of those whose plants were affected, sent samples to the College and on Saturday hereâ€" ceived the following letter ; "The sample of potato plants which you sent have been received and careâ€" fully examined. C Your potato plants are affected with two diseases, Dry Rot and Black Leg These diseases no doubt were brought in on the seed as they are seed carried disâ€" eases. The little flies which you speak of had nothing to do with thy dying of the "Spraying with Bordeaux, that is a lime and bluestone mixture, although very good for preventing late blight, will not prevent dry rot and black leg. The best thing youcan do is to dig your plants as soon as the vines are dead and use the potatoes immediately. We have heard of Dry Rot : but Black Leg appears to be a new disease so far as potatoes are concerned, though often heard of among cattle. Whether the flies are merely a symptom of the other disease, or a separate pest, is uncertain, In any case it behooves potato growers to look well to their plants. It will also be well for them to look well to the seed they use and not allow any disease infected tubers to be brought into this part of the country. â€"Q.
