The essence ot the whole matter is that It is now safe to pursue a forward policy on lines which would have been quite un- safe eighteen months or even a year ago, and that a forward policy, being sate, is urgently necessary It the re- ward of past sacrifices is not to be de- layed and even imperilled. - London (Times. Reason For Gratitude With drops ot 37.3, 35.7 and 31.1 per cent. in the exports of France, Ameri- ca and Germany respectively as com- pared with 6.9 in our own case, it is obvious that we are weathering the storm better than any ot our rivals. Such industries as are active are those fostered by the recently imposed tariffs; and bad as things are, we have strong grounds to be thankful that a National Government has saved us trom a situation that might have been intintiely Scotsman THE UNITED STATES Tact Necessary It is said that that great newspaper circulation builder, the social column, is a difficult assignment to handle. Though readers are more than anxi- ous to "see their names in the paper" they are equally quick to criticize the most trivial error. Tact, therefore, is a vital attribute of the editor, while, in small towns especially, no action of any member of the community must be overlooked. Both these virtues were evident in an illuminating item in the social page of a country daily which recently stated "Mr. George Suede has return- ed to town from where he has been visiting for the past 90 dars."---Fimut- cial Post. Chinese System The Chinese, it seems, have quaint ways ot dealing with some problems. For instance, when business becomes bad, the Occidental employer lay: " a few hands to cut down expenses. which makes business just that much‘ worse. Faced by the same problem the Chinese employer hires another man! or two. He may not pay them highly, perhaps not more than enough to pro- vide food and shelter. But each one can count on that food and shelter un- til he is able to obtain more lucratlvo employment again. When Charlie Foo arrives in, let us say. Boston’s China- town, he may not know a single per. son there. Charlie Foo, being penni- less, it would seem that he must bo. come either a beggar or a case for or. ganized charity. But Charlie in un- perturbed, tor he knows than is " unwritten law that protects him. He can so to any employer and demand an opportunity" to work for his food and shelter. Thus a hungry, begging class in Chinatown does not exist.-- The Christian Science Monitor.

The mixture should be used sparing- ly, so that it will not come through the felt. When you have applied the mix- ture all round the brim, stand the hat on a piece ot flat wood, until it ls quite dry, which will be about " hours later. Then give 't another good brushing with the clothes-brush. This method will darken the felt very slightly. but being on the under. side ot the brim it will not be notice. able.

P.---, would like to Isk a tev‘ questions about sweet. clover. I have 20 acres which were in sweet clover this last year. It was I good crop and was cut tor need. It la I clly loam Ind is in tair condition. It I plow the stubble. will the clover come up own or will it come up it it is not plowed? There was a lot ot seed shelled in the field. I have some very sandy soil. Do you think it will be advisable to sow sweet clover on itt How much sweet clover should I sow to the Acre? What can I do to help get 1 catch? Answer.--sweet clover is usually . biennial. lt it is allowed to form seed, chances are unlkely tor it to sprout again the next yen. However. it much seed has fallen on the ground, in all probability quite a bit ot tttat you clover will come up and ripen again the following year, just the same as though it had been sown. The way to kill it is to cut the clover when it is green and plow under the stubble. Sweet clover will be especially valu-‘ able on very sandy soil. " makes an abundant. growth ot roots and thereby adds quite a bit to the humus ot the soil. This is especially valuable on your sandy area since sand is very short of plant fibre commonly called humus. The Field Husbandry Depart- ment recommends 15 to 20 lbs. ot sweet clover seed to the acre. Two things can be done to help the catch of sweet clover. One is inoculat- ing the seed with the type of bacteria that grow upon it. ',‘hia can readily be done by obtaining trom the Dept. of Bacteriology, O.A.C., the right culture for clover seed. Prepare the mixture according to directions and add it to the seed. Remember this is not a ter- tilizer but is a bacterial culture and simply helps the growth ot the plant in that respect. To assist in the catch of clover it would be well to add some fertilizer to the soil. It you do not have much manure for the soil, our experience is that two to three bags per acre ot 2-12-6 fertilizer gives the crop I splen- Roosevelt Helped Raise Million For l Boy Scouts US.

Another Anniversary The Ontario Lone Scout Department is now entering its fifth year ot ac- tivity. and during the tour years in which it has been operating many hun- dreds ot boys have passed through its ranks and received the benefit ot Scout training. Lone Scouting has reached boys on (arms and in small villages and towns throughout this province, who live too tar away from an organized Scout Troop to be able to take part in Scout Activity through the regular channels. The Lone Scout programme is es- pecially designed for such boys, who are thus enabled to be real Scouts, and who are assisted by competent leaders through the mail and by other methods.

However. in recent. ‘atudy ot the question we nu indica-i cations that exceedineg good yield-I are obtained following grain. there tore we rather favor your plea. l at. sumo that the aoil has not been tall plowed. You should work it " early! as it is tnsttieieaur dry in the spring' but do not plow too deeply.

How- ‘ever, it you do not have this machine. strike out the furrow tor potatoes or dig the holes, scatter the fertilizer fairly generously along the bottom ot the furrow or holes and pull in a cover- ing ot the soil. Then drop your pote- toes and proceed " mull. Do not allow the fertilizer to drop right on the " tatoes. Likewise, do not drop the po- tatoes immediately on top ot the ter. tiiizer. In either of these use: injury is likely to be done to the germinntion and growth of the seed piece. For early potatoes the Field Hun- bandry Department, O.A.C., recom. mends Irish Cobblers, while for late potatoes Dooley or Grew Mountam are tavored varieties. ' Grow Some Tobacco Plants I With money FH't0N'ra on the farms.' saving is very much in order. Grow a patch of tobacco this year, two or three hundred plants. This can be used in the control of animal parasites, and will save you money. The growing of tobacco requires about the same‘ amount ot attention and labor.“ does, the growing of cabbage, with which all are familiar, and the method can! be the some. Seed may be secured through any seed house, and the little: plants are grown in boxes, in time to, be set out when the danger ot frost is i passed. The fully grown plants are' GGlhed before frost in September.| and hung up to dry well, previous toi being pulverized tor use. Pulveriaing is best done by running the entire to- bacco plant through a feed mill. The pulverzed dry tobacco can be sacked‘ up and kept until needed. Farms that. make full use ot the home grown to-' bacco in animal parasite control will not need to make any cash expendi- tures tor this purpose, The powdered dry tobacco can be given in feed or in salt licks, " a worm preventative. to all animals, and it can be used in washes and dusting powders in the control of external parasites. Try growing your own supply, it will be worth while. Any term in Ontario can grow tobacco that is quite good enough for the destruction ot animal parasites.
