In the olden days, a man who erect- ed a lighttiout"r--Nst as to-day he builds a theatre---hoped to make a tor. tune trom it. As a matter of fact, men who gained permission to place permanent beacons on dangerous parts of our coast mode thousands ot pounds profit, says an English writer. This practice of allowing private persons to build lighthouses became very much abused, end was eventually stopped. One man paid 82,225,000 as the purchase price of a barren rock on which he built a lighthouse. Of course, the value then of owning a lighthouse lay In. the money that was demanded from passing ships. Sir Edward Howard, who built I light- house on Dungeness In 1616, collected one penny per ton from vesselppus- in; the lighthouse.

Though today both nations loom greatly in the 'oouncill ot the world, the lights re- mind he that at one time they were both conquered by the might ot Rome.

Fruit and Vegetable Combini- tions on Small Area Are Few native Canadians have any con- ception ot the possibilities of an acre of soil. The principle oi expansion is as old " the law ot self-defence. In- dividuals as well " nations have grasped for more tor all time, says E. J. Atkin, Leamington, in an address at the Fruit Growers’ Convention. In our greed for gain we ignore the small and seemingly insignificant things in nature, and rush wildly on without chart or compass. Unless our system ot agriculture ls radically changed within the next titty years, 'coming generations will have a food situation to solve, that is now perplexing India. This fair Ontario of ours. which ranks highest of all provinces in the Dominion, tor the production of food- 'stutts, is being dispoiled to satisfy this lust tor expansion. . With our forests gone, and our marshes and low-lands drained, so that the water that shouid remain tor months in land ls rushed In a few weeks to the see, we have nothing to expect but blights and diseases tor our orchards and crops; and drought, hot winds and hard winters for our farms. The past few years. owing to the great war and tile extreme scarcity of farm labor, has taught our farmers more in regard to intensive agricul- ture, emailed acreage, and larger yields than the whole previous cen- tury. The successful farmer ot to-day will no longer spread a "e-acre crop over a twentyacre tield, as the net in. come will not warrant the expense. The farmers of to-day, and more par- ticularly the fruit and vegetable growers, have learned several valuable lessons within the past few years. The tirgt and foremost ot these perhaps is. that intensive farming and rich soil is the only line of horticulture that Lays. Secondly that crop rotation must be followed to produce sm-cessiully, year after year, a large, healthy and profit. able crop. As to the tirtrt point, it is not my in- tention to mention it but briefly. In the Leamington section, where the scarcity and high cost ot manure makes it almost prohibitive, we must resort to other means. True, we do use a. small amount ot farm-yard manure, particularly where we have to follow extremely intensive forms ot culture, as in the greenhouses and on our irrigation plots. In the latter we give an annual application ot about twenty tons per acre, which is supple- mented with commercial fertilizers. Where possible a cover crop is also sown in the fall which is plowed down in the spring. On the remainder of the land a full cover crop is generally grown, this is plowed down in the spring and supplemented with com- mercial iertilizers. Crop rotation is the one that re- quires, perhaps, the greater considera~ tion, and the proper rotation, to a great extent, controls the loss from In. sect pests and plant diseases. While the majority of those before me, I pre- sume, are fruit growers, a large num- ber engage in vegetable growing as well. These two work well together in a good many localities and on pro- per soil. especially one that is sandy in nature; they give us a combination that is both profitable and easily handled. While vegetable growing is the principle one in our district, a large number of the growers have found that a combination ot the two work well together, especially the smaller fruits, such as strawberries, currents and even peaches. to a very great extent. As a sandy soil is not so well adapted to cherries, plums and peers. these are very little grown and are not nearly " profitable " the aforementioned.

I did this afternoon. I en- tered a mall, rather neat looking room in name respects. Across the front of the room was the blackboard space. No boards on the sides of the room, but between the windows were stretched squares of burlap, probably intended for exhibiting good work or whatever the teacher wished to pin on it. A few stale samples of drawing were pinned on one piece of burlap, and pasted on various parts of the walls, and on the front blackboard were Christmas decorations. The teacher is a bright girl but she surely missed her calling when she took up teaching. She volunteered the information when the firrt took the school that she never intended to teach, but when the county decided to accept high school graduates on ae- count of shortage of teachers she de.. cided she would try it. A large clock hangs dead on the wall and a small alarm clock ticks on the teaeher's desk, with its back to the room. The program was in view, though the teacher had one for her own use. Five classes recited during the time I was in the room, from one o'clock till recess time, and not one pupil was asked to do any board work. The board space is small but there is room for five or six to work at one time and there were not more than that number in any one class. Every pupil in the room answered every question put to him with a rig- ing inflection of the voice. There were twenty-three pupils in attendance, and only four or five appeared to have any work to look after. A failure in reci- tation woe passed by with a frown on the teacher's part; or the remark, "You must put more time on your work, John." No one was asked to make up work. A boys' toilet room and a girls' toil- et room are built into opposite sides of the building and equipped with a chemical closet outfit. Right here let me say that our own small boy of six yesrs says it is so filthy in the boys' toilet room he will not go into it. In the corner next the boys' toilet stands a ,GriLiiliiirFGG we: in}: and the men dipper. Would you want your child prepare to drink there? 'kit_flten. It we had needed proof that a rota.' tion of crops wes necessary we had an ample one this last season. A halt-‘ acre plot was planted to egg-plant, half l of this area had been an old 'iifiii.iirril ry patch the previous year and had also grown a crop of late potatoes, or) in other words, was the fourth year ot the rotation mentioned above. The plants were large and healthy and pro- 1duced over one-half bushel per plant, lot tirtit.elatss fruit. The other quarter "ere had been planted with egg-plant the previous year. This crop had been healthy and showed no signs of diseases, but the crop this year de- veloped practically every disease com- mon to egg-plant and I think some that were not. The crop was almost a total failure. These two plots were lside by side and throughout the sea. Ison it was easy to tell, even from a distance, just where the division came. ‘We find that if a crop is not planted oftener than every four years, the ldiseases common to it and the family to which it belongs give very little Godtsis, a probable exception to this is the mosiac disease and I very much doubt it this is carried over in the soil, I but rather with the seed.
