They would then be more easily available to plant roots as food, l and the capillary channels from the ;deeper earth would not be brekep. In the West, instead of plowing, the 'farmer uses seeeral implements for ta- iling his land. The most popular of .ohese is •the "one-way" dise, which. Iskims the soil surface and packs Itos Imus-prodecing,waste back into it. In ;;Ontario the "one-way" disc is coming ,into use in some localities and its users 'claim. better land conditions, larger crops and less laborious tillage result front its use. Since long before the 'war there has been worry in Ontario about lowering water levels, erosion, the slow but perceptible deterioration of amble lands into blow sand and bald clay knobs. Should. Ontario, like much of the West, stop all deep plowing and just use the "one-way" disc or perhaps follow a middle course of very shallow plowing? • • • LIVING COSTS STILL RISING The cost-of-living index jumped 2.8 points to 142.2 during September, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported recently and it attributed the increase to the government's decontrol program. The increase matched the 2.8 jump ' during August when the index suffered its sharpest jolt since May, 1920. Finance Minister Abbott said last month that the August increase was expected because Canada could not in- sulate her economy "entirely" from price developments beyond her borders. He also said: "How long our cost of 'living will continue to go up will de- 'pend mainly •upon developments south of the border." • The bureau, using the basis 1935-39 equals 100, said the index of 142.2 at October 1 reflected "price advances • associated with the removal of subsidy .payments and price control. "Mr..Ab- bott said that if the index remained ;around 140 to 145, he would consider. the situation "pretty good." Foods, said the bureau, accounted for two-thirds of the over-all change in the index during September, rising six points to 171.3. Meats for instance, ]were twice their prewar prices and in- creases were shown in the price of such things as bread, flour, butter, ba- con and other items of food. Groups other than foods showed lesser increas- es. LAW SOCIETY 150th ANNIVERSARY Distinguished members of the Bench and Bar from au parts of the province assembled at Osgoode Hall on. October 31 to mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Law Society of Upper Canada. The formal observance of the anniversary, in Convocation Hall in the afternoon, was followed by a tea and reception and a dance in the evening. Among the guests of honor were Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, Secretary of State for External Affairs; Rt, Hon. Vincent Masseyesehancellor of the Un- iversity of Toronto; Chief Justice R. S. Robertson; G. W. Mason, K.C., treas- urer of the Law Society, who was chairman; Lieutenant-Governor Law- son and Attorney-General Blackwell. Mr. Mason commented on the law school's phenomenal record on the last war when 187 students volunteered and 751 lawyers—one of every four in the province—served in the armed forces. Attorney-General Blackwell spoke of the leading part members of the bar had played in polities in Ontario, and Chief Justice Robertson told of the days when a solicitor could not also be a merchant and said that, even to- day, a provision in the Solicitors' Act forbids a merchant from practicing law, though there is no such bar to plumb- ers, farmers or other callings. The Chief Justice also said: "The Law Society has well fulfilled its pur- pose and no more democratic body exists. .Discipline is sternly enforced and the society may still be described as an honorable body whose aim is to assist fellow ;citizens. "Lieut.-Gover- nor Lawson pointed out that the Law Society has held its convocations for more than a century at Osgoode Hall. There official reports of court decis- ions are issued, as well as the Ontario Weekly Notes and the Ontario Re- ports. The Law Society controls the education of law students, regulates their call to the Bar and admission as solicitors, maintains its fine law library and supervises the conduct of members generally. * • * OUR GRATITUDE HAS NOT WAVERED Time moves steadily onward and another "Armistice Day", our "Remem- brance Day", has come and gone. Some of us who lost loved ones and valued friends in the First or Second great World War, poignantly remem- ber our glorious dead each and every one of the 365 days during each year, as some little keepsake of sonic well- remembered word or deed reminds us of them. We will always remember to remember them. Then outside our own little circle of ever-remembered departed heroes, we all owe a "Day of Remembrance" to the brave Canadian boys and girls, and those amongst our gallant allies, who wereunknown to us persona113o but who made the same stern and immeas- urable sacrifice that we might go on living in freedom and peace. All that we have we owe to them. During the troublous days since that first Armisetice Day on November 11, 191S, many of us have had, and some still have, dark days, but our personal trials and tribulations are as nothing compared to the sacrifices of our val- iant dead in battle or as the results of war. And not all our brave battle casualties suffered death. Many still patiently bear the wounds of war and still suffer from the results of war ser- vice in our hospitals and private life. For many of them the war will never be over. Let us remember our honor- ed dead on Armistice Day and our still-living, still-suffering disabled vet- trans every day of the year.

Faulimer, a far- mer and agricultural writer in the Unit- ed States, wrote a book called "Plow- man's Folly". He wrote; "Briefly, this book sets out to show that the mold- board plow which is in use on farms throoghout the civilized world, is the least satisfactory implement for the preparation of land for the production of crops. The truth is that no one has ever advanced a scientific reason for plowing." He asserts in his boot: that primi- tive farmers, the Chinese, the . Egyp- tians, produce more per acre than the mechanized farms of the New World because their tiny plots are barely scratched in tillage. He goes on to say that the moldboard plow helps produce erosion, sour soils, floods, and lower- iog water tables; and it destroys the capillary proiression of water from the subsoils to the crop roots, The Alberta Wheat Pool publication, the Budget, took notice of these views and said: "Farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan are evincing no excite- ment over the Faulkner proPosals for the same idea has been developed over the past qualter of a century, particu- larly in the southern areas of both of these Canadian provinces." The Budget agreed, in principle, with the United States writer, and said: "The final clincher against deep plowing was the positive assertion made by officials of the Swift Current federal government experimental station that the only purpose of land cultivation was to kill weeds, e.nd that deep plow- ing was unnecessary." According to the Iate Hon. Duncan Marshall, senator, briefly minister of agriculture in Ontario and in Alberta, mining"—including deep plowing —had helped produce the dry years on the prairies.
