On 'being asked for his opinion in this connection. Mr. Broughton re plied; “Potatoes require a soil hav ing a high content of humus and -one that is rich in plant food. Acre age should be held at a normal fi gure. By a normal figure I mean that the amount of acreage set aside for the growing of potatoes, should bo limited by the amount of soil pre-eminently suited to producting this particular type of crop.” Mr. Broughton further pointed out the wisdom of using only the best seed procurable and, for this purpose, he suggested the use of certified seed, exclusively. He also advocated seed treatment as a pre ventative of scab, rhizoctomia, and black leg. Then so far as proper ■care of the potato is concerned, the two main points are good cultivation and insuring the crop against insects and ]ate blight, by efficient spray ing. -Finally, he suggested that it is easier to pack a good grade of potato from maxmium yields, and most important, the surest way to cat the cost of production is to de crease the yield per acre. •Concluding the interview, Mr. Broughton said, “Grading o.f pota toes has made wonderful progress in Ontario during the past three years, and it is now possible to se cure supplies of this product prop erly graded and in excelent condi tion. Consequently the trade has not •feund it necessary to import pota toes to- answer their requirements ■for a high class product this winter. The Use of Ferlilizci' The primary function of a fertil izer is to furnish plant food in forms which are immediately available, or which may readily become so, in the s£oil. One of the main factors in deter mining crop yields is the amount of plant food available in the soil. When this is not sufficient l’or good growth it must be supplemented if maximum yields are to be obtained. The several factors which may •profoundly affect the results obtain ed from applying fertilizer include the character' of the soil, drainage sind methods of working the soil and She character of the season in re spect to rainfall, temperature etc. In. considering the use of com mercial fertilizers one must keep in mind the necessity -of maintaining organic matter in the soil as sup plied by manure. The principal val ue in tlie use of fertilizer is that it permits a more economical and bet- -ter distribution of farm manure. One Js a necessary supplement to the other, and for most soils they work together to produce the best results. Alfalfa.:A<^Mge^nl&easc£ Alfalfa now stands sixth in area ^axn-ong all field, crops grown, in the .Province of Ontario' and; occupies .about 650,000 acres. According to Ahmes Laughlarid, Field Husbandry SBepartment, O.A.C., Guelph the jgreat increase in this crop during ithe last twenty years has been due to the development of hardy strains along with the outstanding merits of Alfalfa as a forage crop. Being a hardy, deep rooted perennial legume Alfalfa improves the texture of the soil, adds humus and aids in the storing of nitrates. It begins to grew early in Spring, helps tq eon-' trol weeds and remains green throughout the season,' The yield is greater than from Red Clover and Timothy and the hay has a much higher feeding value, The marked increase in the Alfalfa acreage dur ing recent years is one of the best reasons for further expansion. The total area devoted to hay and pas ture in Ontario amounts to about six million acres. There was a fine crop of Alfalfa seed in this Province last year and it is now available at reasonable prices. It offers a splen did opportunity to increase the. ac reage of this most valuable crop. Controlling Black Root Root-rot or black-root is a fairly common disease of strawberry plants of any age may be attacked but they are most susceptible at two periods, shortly after being set out and at fruiting time. In some patches little or no evidence of the disease can be found, while in others 50 per cent, or even 70 per cent, of the plants are destroyed. The principal control measurer which haver-been found useful are: 1. Practise a fairly long crop ro tation. Strawberries should not fol low a similiar crop in less than five years, if possible. 2. Avoid introducing the disease, When setting out a patch secure plants from a field which was free from root-rot the previous year. Then discard from these .any plants which have blackened roots. I3-. Protect the plants during the winter by means of a suitable mulch. As soon as the ground be comes frozen hard, cover the rows with two or three- inches of clean straw. Facts About Eggs Two tons of grain will produce 43 dozen eggs. Sold as grain at a price of $1 per cwt. it would be worth $40 Sold as eggs at 25c. per dozen it would be worth $120.00. Au e-gg is 66 per cent, water, 13 per cent, protein, 10 per cent, fat and 11 per cent, lime or ash. In an egg 60' per cent, is white-, 30 per cent, is yoke and 10 per cent, shell. The best eggs of the year are the ones laid in the months of April, May and June. An egg eaten between September and March is worth more to the average person in a northern clime than one eaten between April and August. The egg is aptly termed “bot tled sunshine”. It is rich in pro teins, vitamins and minerals. Of the five vitamins the egg sup plies Vitamin A, B, D, and E. It is particularly rich in D, the sunshine vitamin. Bacon-Type Boar Policy T?.e announcement of the Bacon type Boar Policy introduced at Ot tawa, is of special interest to farm ers at this time when the popular trend in farm operation is toward increased production1 of livestock, particularly hogs. Under this pol icy the federal Department under takes to purchase boars of suitable type for breeding purposes for far mers’ clubs of ten or more mem bers each owning a brood sow. By arrangement with provincial gov ernment bonuses are to be paid to clubs on production of service records, the amount being $20 in the case of a XXX Advanced Reg istered Boar being!..used and $15. where a XXX Approved Boar is used. Complete information as to how to secure the benefit " of the new policy can be obtained by ap plication to your local agricultural representative, to the nearest fed eral swine inspector for your dis trict, or to the Department at Ot tawa. After Her Meals Bitters flW* thu part S2 years manufacturid omly if THE T. MILBURN CO., Limited , Toronto, Ont Mrs. D. McLaugllan, 169 Char lotte St, West St. John. N.B., writes:- -“I suffered from indigestion for many years' and seemed to have a terrible, distressed feeliug after my meals. I had been to several doctors, but could not Seem to get any relief udtil A friend told me to take Bur dock Blood Bitters, and after1 taking two bottles I was completely re lieved of my trouble. I can now eAt any thing I like and feel years younger. . I have told many of my friend# about your wonderful medicine and they ail feel the same m I do about W' May School Lesson JESUS iW'OKJS HIS Sunday, March 13—John 14 to TT< Golden Text Peace I leave with you* My peace I give unto you,... not as the world giveth, give I unto you, Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14:2,7.) the world needs comfort more than it needs anything else. Many years my father, the late Henry Clay Turnbull, who was editoi’ of the Sunday School Times, up to the time of his death, said to me: “When ever we publish any message of comfort in the Sunday School Times we receive mole letters of apprecia tion for it than for any other sort of article we ever publish/* Let us welcome the opportunity of this les son in which the Lord speaks such words of. comfort as can be found nowhere except in the Scriptures. The wonderful thing about this message of comfort from the Lord is that on the day after it was spoken. He was to die, and die after such agony as no other man bps ever known. His disciples should have peen comforting Him, but they were not, They had been quarrel ling among themselves as to who should be chief. When a crucial test came that night they all forsook Him and fled, When He asked the little inner circle of closest friends to watch with Him in His time of agony in the garden, they slept. And in the face of all this, which the Lord foreknew, , I-Ie was speaking words of comfort. “Let not your heart be troubled. I will come again.” He was going away through the gates of death; He would rise again, and ascend to His Father in Heaven; His mission, then, was “to prepare a place” for His disciples and for us. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come, again, and receive you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” The Lord was predicting His sec ond coming, and “that blessed hope” of the Lord’s return is the great comfort message of the Bible. With this lesson should be read I. Thes salonians 4:13-18. It tells more about the- second coming of Christ, and ends: “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” J* The Lord, promising to return and take believers unto Himself, add ed, “And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” It was “doubting Thomas” who said: “Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way?” The ques tion drew from the lips of the Son of God one of the most precious passages in the whole Bible: “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” Christ is the- Way to Heaven, Christ’s the Truth about salvation and about all else that we need to know. Christ is the Life1—there is no life apart from Him. (I John 5:12). Let us be careful to note that this wonderful saying of our Lord was not only positive, but also negative. 1-Ie is the way to the Father, and there is no other way. People say that this or that man has done so much good in liis life that certainly he will go to Heaven. The answer is: Yes, if he received Christ as his Sav iour; if he did not, God Himself can not save him, for there is no way of salvation but Clirit, The Lord goes on -to say, if His disciples have nown I-Iim, they have known His Father. P'hillix) now makes a request: “Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us/’ An other wonderful and precious word comes from the Lord; “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father/’ Here was a sweeping and unmistak able claim on the part of Christ to be one with the Father as no mere man could ever be. He asserted His own deity. “Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.” Thus he points to the miraculous works He has done as His credentials, signs, or evidences of His deity. It turns us back to John’s word '(2:11) about the changing of the water to wine at the .marriage in Cana of Galilee: “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on Him/’ There follows an almost unbeliev able if any man hail spoken it, but we believe it because Christ said it: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth Me, the works that I do shall lie do also; and greater works than these shall he do; be cause I go unto My Father/’ What could this mean? Our Lords* earthly ministry was, fii’st of all, to live and die here oh earth in order that sinners might be saved.”' After iftissidti tliusj iLccoiii pH silted a still greater, work could go on wrought by Christ and the Holy Spirit through believers. The book of Acts fulfills this'promise, An amazing work of evangelization and harvesting of souls is there record ed, going far beyond anything of that sort that Christ wrought dur ing His days here on earth. The be lievers wore supernalttrally empow- ered to do the works that Uhrist had done, and greater works; but we must always remember that it was still Christ Himself accomiXlishing these mighty works ip and through the members of His body, The Gos pels tell us what “Jesus began both to do and teach” (Acts 4:1) and Acts tell us what He continued to do and teach. “For without Me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5), said the Lord to His disciples that same ev ening.
