Deachman, M.P. (Financial Post) The sun shines, the sky is bright* the grass is green, with nature in her sweetest mood. There is a chance to spend some time in the open air, to throw back one’s head, to drink in the joy of living. It was a day like this of which one of our lady poets wrote; “I hold my hands up to the sky And let the day run through my fingers.” Sometimes I think that every pros­ pect pleases and only man is vile. That is tod harsh a judgment. It would be nearer the truth to state that everyone feels particularly happy and feeling happy tries to escape from realities and lets not only the day but idle words and thoughts slip from him in an ecstasy of light. pure de- Make it Confusing Aberhart has been He believes that the speaking more he Mr. again, says the more people will forget — and the more they forget the closer will they remain to Mr. Aberhart. If you are doubtful about any issue make it confusing—if you would confound it a thousand times, make long speeches about it and come out by the same door by which you entered in—then there is hope for you. If you are sufficiently blind the blind will follow—you start tn that way, with, at least, some votes in the bag. The gentleman is particularly al­ armed for fear the people meet and discuss the affairs of the nation. The divine words: “Come let us reason together,” have slight appeat to the leader of Social Credit. Speaking at Edmonton lately he said: “In days of storm, and stress people should be careful to whom they talk”—-and he warned his friends of the danger of mental suggestions. “Birds of a fea­ ther flock together-—be careful of some birds,he added! Sources Of Wealth Now this is an extremely danger­ ous doctrine. Of tvhat value is edu­ cation if the people of the Province of Alberta are not capable of using the scales and balances of reason, on the argument of the gentlemen to whom they talk. The sun shines this bright summer day it lets in the light and the light gives strength to the plants and makes them grow. In pre­ cisely he same way the light of know­ ledge strengthened by freedom of dis­ cussion makes progress possible. If the people of Alberta think and rea­ son, they must do so, then they will / realize: 1. That wealth comes from pro­ duction. 2. That wealth is change. 3. That money merely instruments production and exchange of goods. 4. That credit is something to 1 earned—not something merely to 1 distributed. Credit in. the Desert Even Mr. Aberhart is beginning find this out! In a flashing sentence the other day he said: “You cannot put Social Credit into effect in a des­ ert.” In other words he admitted that in the Province of Alberta there must first be production before there can be purchasing power and in that little sentence he destroyed the whole basis of Social Credit. A short time ago he told the world that money and credit were twin creations of one fountain pen. Mr. Aberhart has a fountain pen—if he hasn’t I will make him a present of one—now let him find his desert and create credit out of drifting sand—and here is the strangest of all, miraale of miracles, he can do it if he only has a market for the sand. Alberta needs markets —not fountain pens, not Social Credit, not credit of any kind—just markets —where there is productions and mar­ kets there Js credit: without these, carloads of fountaim pens and barrels of ink controlled by an army Douglases will not add one dollar the nation’s store of credit. of to SOIL REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIOUS CROPS With regard to the most effective fertilizer for the type or types of the soil of his land, a farmer has not far to go to procure authentic informa­ tion on the subject. There are on call the local Agricultural Representative, the Agricultural Colleges, and the Dominion Experimental Farms. Fur­ ther, there are the recommendations of the Provincial Fertilizer councils as to the fertilizers for the different crops in each province. Copies of these recommendations may be ob- GREAT LAKES CIRCLE CRUISES Canadian Pacific Steel Steamer “Manitoba” Gross Tonnage 2616 — Length 303 Feet Port McNicoll or Owen Sound to Fort William and Return LEAVE MONDAYS RETURN SATURDAYS During July and August From PORT McNICOLL OWEN SOUND $40.00 From TORONTO $44.50 WESTBOUND VIA NORTH CHANNEL — EASTBOUND VIA MACKINAC * Plenty of Open Water Cruising iQ(n Georgian Bay and The Great In* land Fresh Water Oceans of Huron and Superior.

If advice is sought for, there is all the more reason why these qualified authorities should be consulted be­ cause nowadays science has evolved short-method chemical tests which may be applied in the field in esti­ mating the nitrogen phosphoric acid and potash requirements of soils for different crops.' Any person possess­ ing sufficient knowledge of soil chem­ istry, experience in fertilizing crops* and good judgment can use these test­ ing kits to good advantage in pre­ scribing satisfactory fertilizers, On. the other hand, without good judg­ ment ip the interpretation of the re­ sults of these short-method tests, the tests themselves are useless. In other words, the, farmer has to assure himself that the person mak­ ing the test is qualified to do so. This needs to be emphasized because it has come to the attention of the Dominion Department of Agriculture that some fertilizer companies are supplying their selling agent with short-method test kits for promoting the sale of fertilizers; A check up by the farmer with the nearest agricul­ tural authority should be done as a matter of business. POISON CONTROL OF POTATO BEETLE According to the advice and exper­ ience of the Field Crop and Garden Insect Division, the Entomological Branch.,. Dominion Department of Ag­ riculture, the best and cheapest pois­ on to use in control of the potato beetle in Eastern Canada is calcium arsenate, at the rate of 1% pounds to 40 .gallons of Bordeaux mixture* the Bordeaux itself being composed of 6 lbs. copper sulphate, 4 lb. lime* and 40 gallons of water. If the cal­ cium arsenate is used alone in water instead of Bordeaux, two to tfyree pounds of hydrated lime should be added to each 40 gallons. Should ar­ senate of lead or Paris green be pre­ ferred to the calcium arsenate as the poison to be used, two to three lbs. of the arsenate of lead, or one-half to one pound of Paris green may be sub­ stituted in each 40 gallon barrel of spray. Some growers prefer to apply the poison in powder form, using a dust composed of one part of arsenate of lead to 6 parts of hydrated lime. Best results in dusting are secured when the application is made in the early morning or late evening when the vines are wet with dew and the air calm. ' ' • • l • , In spraying potatoes, the poison should be mixed with Bordeaux as the latter is not only a valuable fungicide but repels the attack of such destruc­ tive insects as flea beetles and leaf­ hoppers. Two or three applications in a season should give sufficient pro­ tection from all insects, Potato beet­ les are usually found in the field be­ fore the new crop of potatoes is even up and they lay their eggs on the un­ der-sides of the leaves. When the yel­ low masses of eggs are hatched is the time to make the first application of the poison. In spraying, both the up­ per and lower surfaces of the leaves should be covered with an abundance of the material. When the plants are small, 50 to 75 gallons per acre and when the plants are fully grown, 100 to 120 gallons per acre is not too much at each application. • A visitor to the country was very- surprised on paying a visit to the loc­ al churchyard to see the wall in such a dilapidated condition, and called the sexton’s attention to the same. This worthy’s explanation was as follows: “It be like this ’ere, sir. Them as is inside can’t get out, and them as is outside don’t want to get in, so- we never trouble about yon wall.’’
