THE SPACTNG OF POTATO PLANTS. For the growing of certified seed potatoes there is an advantage in planting the seed fairly closely in the field. An investigation conducted at the Fredericton and Charlottetown laboratories of the Division of Botany of the Experimental Farms demonâ€" strated that the close plantingnot only tends to improve the quality of the seed but increases the total yield. The Dominion Botanist, Mr. H. T. Gussow, in his report for 1927, published by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, reports that the information gained from the investigation gives evidence of tseful possibilities towards producâ€" Ing a greater amount of tubers rangâ€" ing front & to 12 ounces and so rendâ€" ering the largest possible amount of tubers from the avoerage crop intendâ€" ed for seed purposes éltgible for cerâ€" tiflcation. Mr. Gussow hesitates to make a definite pronouncement on the matter until at leas, another season‘s Tork is carried out. His report, which included tables showing the actual reâ€" sults of different spacing, does recopâ€" merd spacing the sets from 10 to 12 inches, whicE distance makes it conâ€" venient for roguirg the crop which could not %e sucsessfully done when the plants are closer. "The government does practically nothing in respect to social insurance. Even existing legislation for the proâ€" tection of working women and childâ€" ren is a dead letter." "There are four distinct wage classes In the country, Arab rural workers earning 120 to 150 mils per day, Arab town workers 140 to 170 mils, unorâ€" ganized Jewish workers, 150 to 200 mils, and organized Jewish workers, 250 to 300 mils. All the organized and some of the unorganized workers work eight hours a day, the others nine or ten hours. Where the differâ€" ences between the different strata of the population are so great, there is little chance of establishing more friendly relations among the different peoples, and of the country settling down. Hence the trade unions de-; mand a minimum wage for the whole: eountry, based on decent living conâ€" ditions. | "The British Government, as the mandatory authority, does practically nothing to change bad conditions of long standing. Complaints are raised concerning sanitary conditions, intolâ€" erable ill treatment of workers by foremen, changes for the worse in such matters as holidays, sickness pay and workmen‘s compensation, very low wages, long working hours and nonâ€"payment of overtime. "Workers with some amount of -kill[ are very dependent upon employment In government concerns, munlclpall enterprises, etc., and the authorities dam part Major Ormsby Gore replied in the negative, but added that any concegâ€" slion granted would be subject to future legislation of a general characâ€" ter affecting employment conditions in Palestine and Transjordania. Howâ€" ever, the concessionnaire was not obliged to accept conditions other than the law imposes. Miss Lawrence further asked wheâ€" ther a law had been introduced recentâ€" ly concerning corporal punishment. Major Ormsby Gore replied in the affirmative, stating that a recent law reduced the number of offenses for which corporal punishment may be Inflicted. Considerable dissatisfaction with the social and labor attitude of the manâ€" datory power was voiced by delegates to the fourth regular convention of the General Federation of Jewish Labor In Palestine, and in the report of the executive, according to a summary sent out by the Amsterdam Bureau of the International Feedration of Trade Unions, with which the Palestine orâ€" ganization is affiliated. The Amsterâ€" dam account of the situation reads, in March 5 to The question of protection of labor in Palestine bobbed up again in the British House of Commons when Miss Susan Lawrence, a Labor M.P., deâ€" manded to know of the Colonial Office If the draft of the contract with Moses Novomejsky for the exploitation of the salts of the Dead Sea contained a fair wage clause, say a London dispatch of Mandatory Power Sha Criticized at Last Co vention of Unions in Jewish Homeland British M.P.

This attiâ€" tude of the workmen was typical of the interest and goodwill our venture aroused." "What is this?" Miss Clark was asked pointing to what looked like a model of a Norwegian saeter. Y.W.C.A., which generously supplied the initial sum of £2000 at a small rate of interest. Two beautiful old houses in one of the best squares in the city were purchased, and on these there is a bond of another £2000. Over 700 business women have joined, which gives the club £350 in subscripâ€" tions alone. _ The letting of their beautiful dance hall also is a source of income, and altogether the finances of the club are in a most satisfactory position. ‘The residents bave charmâ€" position. ‘The residents bave charmâ€" ing rooms, and pay for room and full board only £1 a week for a north room, and 22s. a week for a south roomâ€"which seems unbelievably I cheap in these days.

Its example may well be followed by Aberdeen‘s neighâ€" bors, as the need is great. Miss Betâ€" tina Clark, the warden of the club, welcomed all inquiries, and Miss B. Walker, who was its founder, was enthusiastic over its possibilities, It was felt, Miss Clark said, that Aberdeen had .nany young business women who needed a social center and residential club, but the difficulty was how to get it financed.
