The pest is described as a large black beetle, which, delights to feed upon the new potatoes just formed at the root , of the growing plants. ,The beetle, it is said, burrowe in the potato hill until it ' reaches the root centre, and in that spot lays its eggs. Later the lame feed upon the young pate- toee, leaving nothing but an outer shell. It is stated that potato growere have already met with considerable lose by the depredations of this pest.

Stink Weed in Huron It has just been discovered that stink -weed, so common in the weetern provinces, has made its appearance in Huron County, Wm.

It was it healthful and vigorous speola, showing that it will grow laid thrive in Ontario soil. It grows in rather bushy form, has very few leaves but bears an abundance of pods, which contain any- where from 10 to 20 seeds each. aIt wee esodently given the name of etink- weed because of its offensive smell, re- oembling very much that of a skunk.

Between, however, these seasons of satisfaction there stretches the actual time of holidaying and as I reflect upon that portion of my Ireland visit spent in Dublin, I am struck by the fact that, apart from its educational featuree and the insight it afforded one of the real condition of political affairs in Ireland, I can't say that I really enjoyed my short stay in the Irish capital, and I must collies° that it was with a sigh of relief, that I boarded the train at Amiens streets station on the morning of July 1203, for Belfast and the north of Ireland, The atmosphere in Dublin was too '"elactric" as it were and Sinn Fein hospitality was not such as to make It conducive to a soldier's enjoyment and comfort. There is no love lost between thoseen khaki and the Irish rebels. The journey from Dublin up thropgh the fertile counties of Meath, Lough and Down to Belfast, along the Eastern coast is not without a certain amount of interest, as it takes it traveler through very mountainous and pictur- esque regions and splendid agricultur- al districts, beautiful panoramas greet- ing the eye on every side. The grassy elopes of the many mountains and hills, bedecked bere an there with the proverbial Irishman's shanty of whitewashed walla and thatched roofs the rich fertile valleys, the quaint little Irish villages and the jagged grey cliffs along the seashore, served to make a very, interesting journey. That the Irishman, war or no war, will always have an abundance of his fav- ourite vegetable -the potato -was strikingly illustrated to me as I pass fields upon fields of rich, healthy look- ing crops of "spuds" -fields which ap- pear to a traveler to be alnsost as num- erous in Ireland as wheatfields are in Canada. Potatoes seemed to be grow- ing everywhere: There seemed to be no room for the proverbial donkey, goat and pig, although the latter cer- tainly were in evidence. Stopping at one village foil a few moments I de- cided to take a stroll down the one main thoroughfare the inhabitants could boast of, and a truly typical Irish burgI found it bo be. A street Arab community of hens, doge, geese and donkeys, inceseant and clarion - toned in their addresses to one anoth- er -creatures who treated life as a lounge-gretted my eyes as I reached the "market square." "Paddies" and "Bridgets" were standing in the door- ways of their cottages and shanties, platoons of juveniles and kiddies were romping on the tiled floors inside and everywhere there was that quaintness simplicity and tranquility which characterize the life of the Irish peas- ant. Even the donkeys seemed to fit in appropriately and seemed as if they had, for want possibly of other am- ploymenb, adopted the position of town criers to the village, or perhaps were it prophets, There were several small dingy looking shop or stores in the place, where I supposed, more Home Rule and political arguments took place in past years around the fire places than sales were made across the counter' but as I, had only a few moments, ett my disposal I did not ex- plore their interior. Proceeding on our way northward several towns were passed througb, towns which seemed to be of great industrial importance because of the large number of linen factories located therein, 4gr. J. G.

' I 1) tI Arriving at Belfast at noon I found myself jostling through crowds and crowds of people which thronged the streets, for was not this day Belfastar and Ulster's great and glorious day - the 121h of July. In other countries one day only is eet apart for the cele- bration of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, but in Belfast it seems they set, aside from three days to a whole week. It is holiday week, and the 12e.h particularly is it gala day for Belfast's thousands of Orangemen and their friende. Although shorn of much of its, dis- play and color, I was told by it stree acquaintances, owing to causes whioli are justifiable, the celebration was in. deed a most imposing one and I re- garded myself as being particularly fortunate in having arrived in Belfast for this event, The martial strains of the life and drum resounded through the city streets vehich were literally packed with merry -makers and the "walk" or proceseion was several miles long. The venue of the celebration was at Finaghy, a pretty pastoral aletrict be- yond Balmoral, at the mat northern gate of the eity, in the ver?' district through which King William of glor. ions, pine and immortal memory, passed on his way from Carrickfergus to the Boyne 227 yeare age to achieve thtt victory which will ever be a land- mark id the hb3tOry of Greet Britain and Ireland, I followed the crowds to Finaghy, where an enormous gathering, the largest 1 have ever been in, had mom. 1 SUMMER DRINKS (Non alcoholie) Rose Lime Juice 8513, 50e and $1,00 Welshe's °rape Juice 30e and 50o PRESERVI N 6 AIDS - Gem Rings 5c a doz.

Between, however, these seasons of satisfaction there stretches the actual time of holidaying and as I reflect upon that portion of my Ireland visit spent in Dublin, I am struck by the fact that, apart from its educational featuree and the insight it afforded one of the real condition of political affairs in Ireland, I can't say that I really enjoyed my short stay in the Irish capital, and I must collies° that it was with a sigh of relief, that I boarded the train at Amiens streets station on the morning of July 1203, for Belfast and the north of Ireland, The atmosphere in Dublin was too '"elactric" as it were and Sinn Fein hospitality was not such as to make It conducive to a soldier's enjoyment and comfort. There is no love lost between thoseen khaki and the Irish rebels. The journey from Dublin up thropgh the fertile counties of Meath, Lough and Down to Belfast, along the Eastern coast is not without a certain amount of interest, as it takes it traveler through very mountainous and pictur- esque regions and splendid agricultur- al districts, beautiful panoramas greet- ing the eye on every side. The grassy elopes of the many mountains and hills, bedecked bere an there with the proverbial Irishman's shanty of whitewashed walla and thatched roofs the rich fertile valleys, the quaint little Irish villages and the jagged grey cliffs along the seashore, served to make a very, interesting journey. That the Irishman, war or no war, will always have an abundance of his fav- ourite vegetable -the potato -was strikingly illustrated to me as I pass fields upon fields of rich, healthy look- ing crops of "spuds" -fields which ap- pear to a traveler to be alnsost as num- erous in Ireland as wheatfields are in Canada. Potatoes seemed to be grow- ing everywhere: There seemed to be no room for the proverbial donkey, goat and pig, although the latter cer- tainly were in evidence. Stopping at one village foil a few moments I de- cided to take a stroll down the one main thoroughfare the inhabitants could boast of, and a truly typical Irish burgI found it bo be. A street Arab community of hens, doge, geese and donkeys, inceseant and clarion - toned in their addresses to one anoth- er -creatures who treated life as a lounge-gretted my eyes as I reached the "market square." "Paddies" and "Bridgets" were standing in the door- ways of their cottages and shanties, platoons of juveniles and kiddies were romping on the tiled floors inside and everywhere there was that quaintness simplicity and tranquility which characterize the life of the Irish peas- ant. Even the donkeys seemed to fit in appropriately and seemed as if they had, for want possibly of other am- ploymenb, adopted the position of town criers to the village, or perhaps were it prophets, There were several small dingy looking shop or stores in the place, where I supposed, more Home Rule and political arguments took place in past years around the fire places than sales were made across the counter' but as I, had only a few moments, ett my disposal I did not ex- plore their interior. Proceeding on our way northward several towns were passed througb, towns which seemed to be of great industrial importance because of the large number of linen factories located therein, 4gr. J. G.

' I 1) tI Arriving at Belfast at noon I found myself jostling through crowds and crowds of people which thronged the streets, for was not this day Belfastar and Ulster's great and glorious day - the 121h of July. In other countries one day only is eet apart for the cele- bration of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, but in Belfast it seems they set, aside from three days to a whole week. It is holiday week, and the 12e.h particularly is it gala day for Belfast's thousands of Orangemen and their friende. Although shorn of much of its, dis- play and color, I was told by it stree acquaintances, owing to causes whioli are justifiable, the celebration was in. deed a most imposing one and I re- garded myself as being particularly fortunate in having arrived in Belfast for this event, The martial strains of the life and drum resounded through the city streets vehich were literally packed with merry -makers and the "walk" or proceseion was several miles long. The venue of the celebration was at Finaghy, a pretty pastoral aletrict be- yond Balmoral, at the mat northern gate of the eity, in the ver?' district through which King William of glor. ions, pine and immortal memory, passed on his way from Carrickfergus to the Boyne 227 yeare age to achieve thtt victory which will ever be a land- mark id the hb3tOry of Greet Britain and Ireland, I followed the crowds to Finaghy, where an enormous gathering, the largest 1 have ever been in, had mom. 1 SUMMER DRINKS (Non alcoholie) Rose Lime Juice 8513, 50e and $1,00 Welshe's °rape Juice 30e and 50o PRESERVI N 6 AIDS - Gem Rings 5c a doz.
