Control measures consist in the adoption of a suitable system -of rotation of crops so that the planta­ tion can be started on a clean field, and the application of a poisoned bait twice a year, commencing when the plants are first put out. 3. The proper time to apply bait is in the middle of April the first application to destroy overwintering weevils, and from middle of June for the second appli­ cation, to destroy the summer gen­ eration which appears about that time.

It also ©hows that during the previous week the price- range on Canadian bacon was from two to four .shillings per long cwt. over the Danish product. It should be noted in passing that the Canadian product is now selling second only to the finest Irish bacon which is holding steady .at a price of from 64 to 82 shillings per long cwt. Gf 112 lbs. yet little decrease in the things they have to pay for, farmers have yet carried on with commendable cour­ age and steadiness. We have been able to reduce arrears outstanding more than two years to less than 15 per cent. Arrears for the years 1930 and 1931 are very substantial. Ap­ preciation of the loan service is shewn by a determination to ’catch up’ just as soon as possible.” During the year the Board completed sale­ proceedings on 31 farms, and 'it also sold 49 other farms which were pre­ viously taken %ver. An interesting summary of the ten years of opera­ tion by the Board is provided in pamphlet, copies of which are tamable- from the Department. Grading Potatoes “An exiom of trade is' that demands of the conteumer control not only what the producer grows and raises, but bow he packs his. products," said J. A. Carroll, secre­ tary, Ontario Marketing Board, “As an example of this,” continued Mr. Carroll, “I would point out the most recent development in the market-? ing of Ontario potatoes. The Central Ontario Potato Growers’ Association are now marketing a 1-5-pound pack Of Tee-Pee Brand, fancy grade, po­ tatoes. The quality of these pota­ toes is infinitely superior to that of Canada No. 1, hitherto the top grade being marked. That such a qual­ ity of potato may now be secured is a direct result of consumei’ demand. “It occurs to me that the next step will be a demand for potatoes to be as clean, for the homemaker to handle, as a head of lettuce, for ex­ ample. This will call for potatoes being washed before being packed. I happen to know that the washing of potatoes is already being done in certain sections of the United States. “In brief," concluded Mr. Carroll, “the best defence against' competi­ tion, in addition to the grower re­ ceiving a premium for his product and the consumer being satisfied, is that of lifting Ontario potatoes into a class by themselves for quality and pack." th o Sunday School Lesson the ob- ABRAM’S GENEROSITY TO LOT Sunday, April 24.*—Gene-sis 13. There was a “but" in Lot's choice, however. A choice made from the standpoint of personal covetness as pretty sure to have a “hut" in it. Here was Lot's: “But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners be­ fore the Lord exceedingly," And that was the city where Lot went to live. Could the most beautiful and fertile of land make up for that? Now that Abram had unselfishly “said his say" to. Lot, God had some­ thing to say to Abram, “Lift up now thine eyes, and look' from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward and west­ ward; for all the land which thou seest to thee will I give thy seed forever." God never lets genuine ness suffer. “You can’t giving. truly unselfish motives, God will give to us, : the Lord promised Abram as this time: “I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the" earth, then shall thy seed also be number­ ed." But a little parenthetical clause that we find in the .record of what the Lord says to Ahram in this won­ derful offer is significant. We read: “And the Lord said unto Abram, af­ ter that Lot was separated from him’’—then follows God’s wonderful promise. Lot stood for weak, self- centred character; a child of God, doubtless, as other Scriptures tell us but his “religion” was certainly of the minimum sort, not the maximum Abram needed to be separated from that type of man it he was to enter into God's best. We cannot be com­ promised by fellowship with such persons today if we would move on into all that God has for us. Then God asks Abram to appro­ priate make his own by personal taking that which God has given him. “Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will -give it unto thee." God gives every, believer infinitely rich possessions in Christ; but He also tells every believer to take, by personal appropriation, that which belongs to hipjji The chapter -ends with the significant words that Ab­ ram “built there an altar unto the Lord.” Rev, Charles Wesley Be Mill©, B.

Get the Right Fertilizer Never in the history of Candian agriculture has it been more impor­ tant for the farmer to be absolute­ ly sure that he is getting the right Icind of fertilizer for his. crops than nt the present time. One authority -Observes: “In many parts of Canada the- farmer is. still sold fertilizer as ace-commended by local agents in- -stead of buying it on the basis of If.s own knowledge of its proper use. As never before this -would appear to be a good time to consult the soil .and -crop authorities at the Agricul­ tural Colleges and your local agri­ cultural representative- before mak- ing substantial purchases of fertiliz­ ers, because with proper care their use, even in these times of low farm ■price.?, may be made profitable. Farm Loans The number of applications grant­ ed for farm loans by the Agricul­ tural Development Board in 1931 was 3.-361, an increase of 20 per cent, over 1930. Applications re­ fused totalled 876 as against 90*5 the previous year. In presenting his report, the chairman, W. Bert Road- Rouse, stated: “Collections under present conditions are difficult both for the Board and the borrower. The reason has been one of good crops and very, very poor prices, Faced ■with returns cut in half or less and Have Your Seed Graded The Seed Branch at Ottawa calls attention to the facilities, which are available throughout Canada for the inspection and grading of seeds, more particularly alfalfa, clover and grass seed. In every district where these seeds are grown there is a .Seed Branch Inspector who inspects seed offered f-oi* sale 'for seeding purposes and furnishes information relating to cleaning and grading of seed, and, under some circumstances, performs grading himself. <• •Seed of course must be properly cleaned to remove the weed seeds and dirt before submitting it to th® inspector for grading. In a large number of localities this -could be done best perhaps at the local power cleaning plant designed for small seeds. Where such is not available however, the hand mill on the farm when equipped with suitable screens should do reasonably well. In honor preferring one another.— Romans 12:10.

ONTARIO all for Tribute to Farmers That the Department will do in its power to find markets the products of Ontario farmers was the pledge- given by Hon. Thos. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture in an address to sugar beet growers at Chatham lately. Representatives were already, at work in England, the Maritime provinces and the West. The Minister paid glowing tribute to Ontario farmers claiming that in point of intelligence and all­ round ability that they stand higher than in any other country. He de­ clared that other lands were begin- ing to emulate Ontario’s methods in agricultural training: “I look for­ ward to greater prosperity in this province than we ever dreamed of. Those who have learned to grow good crops will reap the liarvest the new prosperity. Ontario will in the van of the new era.” Abram’s life had in it shadows as well as lights. His own character had both; his unquestioning faith in God, and the obedience of faith, shone forth bright and glorious over and over again. His faith stood firm under a test that was never put- upon any other man in history—• when God asked him to offer Isaac, his only son, in sacrifice. Yet Ab­ ram’s faith failed and broke at times the latter part of the chapter from which last week’s lesson was taken tells of one such case; another came when lie listened to the voice of Sa­ ra!, his wife, and took her Egyptian maid Hagar .as his wife, hoping to have a son by this wrong marriage; The son came; misery and tragedy followed, both then and down thro’ the ages as a result. But Abram’s dominant and habit- -ual attitude toward God was that of faith; he was honored by the divine­ ly given description. “Friend of God” (James 2:23). Alid, as faith is the root of all other virtues, Abram’s unselfishness and love came out ra­ diantly in the lesson incident this week. He had become rich while clown in Egypt, and rich also; herds, and the record not able to might dwell together; for their stance was great, so that they could not dwell together." Strife follow­ ed—-it is an old story now, under such circumstances; not strife be­ tween Abram and Lot, but between their herdmen. As Dr. T. T. Shields said in a recent sermon: “You have the first industrial conflict when the herdmen of Lot and the herdmen of Abram began to strife With each other—not because they were poor, but because they were rich! There wa.$. no reason for ex­ pansion, That is the very first war of history." Abrain, the older man, went to Lot, but not to suggest that they fight it out, even that they arbitrate the “Is sep: me; then I will go to the right; thou depart to the right hand I will go to tlie left." It is pretty difficult with a man like that. Rible wars would be if diplomacy like this between nations, Did ness tOOli him watered plain country was ‘ Lord"; if that garden of Eden it must have been beautiful indeed, Abram question­ ed Lot’s choice not at all, and the two men separated, Lot journeying east, while Abram remained where he was. JAIL POPULATION IS DECREASED BY SEVEN The largest number of prisoners yet to leave the county jail, Goder­ ich, in one batch departed on Friday afternoon’s train last week in charge of Bailiff Fisk, who came from Tor­ onto to escort the party of seven. Four were bound for Guelph re­ formatory and three for Mimico. The prevalence of influenza in t’lie Provincial institutions, which, re­ sulted in a decision not to receive further inmates until it had abated, led to the congregation of a siderable number of men who been sentenced to reformatory.
