Peace With Honour The time for rapprochement be. tween the Government and the Con. gress will come only when civil dig. obedience is definitely called ott, and when there are guarantee which fully satisfy the Government that there will be no attempt to revive it in any shape or form.

Dangerous Policy I The Japanese see China rapidly dis. integrating before their eyes, and they lask themselves whether their best 'course is not to strive to save some- thing from the ruins. and to mark out jand secure at least one area which they can immunize trom the surround- ing contagion? It is a desperate policy, but it is intelligible to anybody who will admit that Japan's interests in China are more vital to her than the interests which the Shanghai defence force was established to protect so short a time ago were to England. It is a dangerous policy. Dangerous to Japan, because it tends to revive the prestige ot the military caste, to strengthen the waning feudal ideology. Dangerous to civilization. because it creates on more septic focus in a dis. ordered worhi.--atound Table, London.

' New Regime in Turkey Introduces Family Names Istanbul, Turkey.--Millions ot Turks are racking their brains to choose family names tor themselves while the Minister ot Interlor prepares a law to enforce this latest western reform. l Before there were dirt roads across l the prairies, before the era of the railways, the old Northwest Mounted carried law enforcement, the Crown's justice, into every nook and cranny of the Western prairies. They did so with the aid of horses and their prow- ess as horsemen. Their ability to travel weeks and months living " the country, cut off completely from supply depots, earned for them the reputation of the greatest mounted police force in the world. New meth‘l ods of crime, new problems of law enforcement have changed all this. The photographs and paintings of the old scarlet-coated riders, astride their horses, is now only a relic of a North- west which is gone. _ Winnipeg.--For forty years famed throughout the "lntrlish-speaking world as the Scarlet Coated Riders of the plains, the Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted Police at last have discarded their horses and taken to the motor car.

Harrisburg, Pa.--Pennsyhrata led the nation in 1931 in farm forest planting, according to the State De- partment of Forests. Of the 25,500,- 000 trees planted on farm forests during 1981 in the United States, Pennsylvania planted 6,000,000 trees. New York was second with 4,800,000, Ohio third with 1,743,000. When Mr. Hudson came to North Carolina in 1907 his first work was launched in a few counties around Statesville, in the piedmont. From that limited beginning, the county agent system has grown to the point where there are now 80 counties hav.. ing farm agents. Linda in Farm Tree Planting South Favors Soy Beans Raleigh, N.C.-North Carolina's greatest agricultural accomplishment in the last 25 years has been to in- crease the acreage planted to soy beans, in the opinion of Mr. c. R. Hudson, who has just rounded out his twenty-fifth year in farm demonstra- tion work in this State. Mr. Hudson believes that the introduction of the soy bean into eastern North Carolina and its use over the entire State has been of tremendous importance to agricultural development. l Economical cow rations that New iJersey dairymen can feed as one step ltoward making readjustments to meet reductil as in milk prices are listed in a recent statement by E. J. Perry, extension-service dairymaz. at the (New Jersey Agricultural Experiment lStation. Since the cost of roughage and grain constitutes from 50 to 60 per cent. of the entire annual expense of keeping dairy cows, feed is the intajor expense which the owner can probably reduce with the least dith-, culty, Mr, Perry points out. For the) dairy farmer who has such home, grown grains as corn, oats, barley or) wheat, and plenty of choice alfalfa, soybean or clover hay, Mr. Perry re- commends the following ration as one; that is economical and capable of. stimulating high production: 1,000 pounds of a 20 per cent. ready-mixed! feed and 1,000 pounds of corn meal, corn and cob meal, ground barley,‘ ground wheat or a combination of some or all of these. This mixture contains 14 to 16 per cent. total pro- tein, and, fed with good legumes, is a balanced ration. l MW Sell Cigarettes Singly The Macdonald Institute, the gift of Sir William Macdonald, was opened in 1903, as a part of the (allege for training in home economics. The Col- ege has also been of inestimable aid to farmers in the selection of test seeds, in fact, a new variety of barley named "nobarb" originated there. The 0.A.C. looks also after the registra- tion of beekeepers in the province, about 660 apiaries, with approximate- ly 162,000 colonies, being registered. Much help was given by the College in the corn-borer battle, while in the Canadian School of Baking the Trent, Institute conducts commercial bakingl courses and does research and lemon.::' tration work. Poultry research, will survey, animal husbandry, fruit grow- I ing, cold storage, grading of milk, killing of weeds and other features of the work of the school show the importance of O.A.C. to agriculture in this country. To the Guelph Mer- cury, which published an attractive special edition to mark His Excel- leney's visit, we are indebted for many facts concerning this admirable insti- tution.--Toronto Mail & Empire. the visit of We Excellency the Got erttor-Getteral to Guelph to dedicate and open formally the tnagtsiihtettt new administrstion and residence building of the Ontario Agricultural College. These reports were exceed- ingly interesting. It may be ques- tioned, however, if the public are thoroughly conversant with the splen- did work for agricul.ure being done at that institution, now presided over by Dr. G. I. Christie. The year 1873 saw its inception and on May I, 1874, the Ontario School of Agriculture was declared open, thirty-one students be- ing admitted. Under but four presi- dents the College has developed, until, in all 35,855 students have enrolled, there being an enrollment of 568 stu-‘ dents in the agricultural courses for) the season of 1931-32. Since the in-1 ception of the 0.A.C.. degree eourges: have been established and the study, of home economics and short coursesl have been added. . Denim!
