URFACE drains are -used to re-
move excess water of soils 'due'
to violent shower or the.iapid,
molting of snow and' are con-'
sequently often almost as important
on tile -drained land as on that which
leas no artificial drainage, These
drains often prevent the gullying out
or the washing away of soil and soil
fertility, '
Good surface drains will lessen
considerably the amount of winter
wheat "drowned out" or "winter
killed.°' These injurious effects are
largely caused through water stand-
ing on frozen wheat ground in the
spring. Were this water removed by
surface drains, the reason for heav-
ing so often seen in wheat fields in'
the*- early- spring would be largely,•
removed.. These drains are a benefit,
too, in that the removal of surface
water enables the land to warn, up
more: quickly, ;and the plants to start
groavtli earlier in the spring,
Surface drains should follow the:
natural low levels in the wheat`iel.d.
..nd be made befor4 the Season closes •
in the fall, They are easily run out
with the ordinary long'or the swivel
.plough,- and generally do not require
to be more than one furrow wide'
and one furrow deep. Where there: is
considerable slope in the field and
eonscq'tiently greater danger of land
'
b ,ing gul.lied out, care should be tale -
en that drains are not made too nar-
row.' The roundinv of the edges at
the top and of the bottom of :surface
drains will facilitate the flow of,water
b'y removing danger of blocking -from
loose pieces of earth. Intersections
should be well made to 'avoid stop-
pages in drainage: system:: Heavy
clay soils are usually more 'benefitted
by the use of - surface drains than are
lighter soils: -Prof. W. J. Squirrel,

To the People. of Canada:
T,h 'e" VictorP'I,ottu of 3.918 is now?
being offered.for public• subscription.'
It is an undertaking if most vital
consequence to the nation, and I can-
not too, earnestly erhplsasize the duty
and _ responsibility resting • upon all
citizens of .Canada to co-operate, to
the extent of their available resources
in malting it an unqualified success.
To Cure Black Pinot Disease.
No other cause, not even winter-
killing,'has destroyed and is destroy-
ing so: many cherry and plum trees
in this province as the Black Knot
disease, This statement, while true
of the province as a whole, is not
true, of the Niagara -District nor of
any other district where plum and
cherry trees are carefully~ pruned and
sprayed each year.
The disease is not caused by grubs,
although these are often found in
the knots, but it is caused by a fun-
gus which attacks the branches and
even the trunks of _ the trees and
causes' black, knot -like swellings,
usually about three inches long and
about half an inch in thickness,
though, often the swellings are -mueh
shorter and often again very much
longer, the longest ones usually be-
ing -found on the larger branches.
New knots at first are brownish in-
stead of black, the blackness -coming
meet
The disease will in some orchards
confine itself to cherry trees and not -
attack the plums. In, other cases it
will attack plums and not the cher-
ries, but more commonly both are
attacked.
Control` `Measures.—In order to
control Black Knot thoroughly it is
helpful to know that it spread by
means of tiny spores which act as
seeds, and are blown by the wind
from tree to tree. These spores are
formed on the knots themselves.
There are two main crops of them
each year, the first during -'early
spring, usually in iYfareh -and April,
and Hie Second in late spring, usually
the latter part of rMay- and all of
June. Therefore, to control the dis-
ease the first step to take isto cut
down all dead and dying trees and
is on other trees, cut -

remove all kno
ting) in each case about four inches
below the knot so as to be sure the
infected area is removed. If knots
occur on the very large branches or
on the trunk, they may be removed
by means of a chisel or a very stout
knife and chisel. An -inch at least
ofthe bark on each, si,de.should, :if:
possible, be•,taken with the knots. All
pi'unings, whether of dead or living
wood, should be burned at once,
otherwise the spores will form on
them and spread from them. It is
very important to do this cutting out
and' "pruning before Christmas time.
Warm days after the leaves aro off
are excellent for the purpose. Under'
no 'conditions must the knots be left
on the trees until as late as February.
In cutting do not overlook any wild
cherries that may be infested around
ornear the orchard.
The next step is to spray the trees
with either lime -sulphur wash or
Bordeaux mixture, so that the spores
that come from a distance in early
or late, spring inay' not get„ a chance
to germinate. Three sprayings should,
be given," the first a few days before;
the }suds burst, the second -about a
week after blossoms fall and the third
about two weeks later or just before
the earliest cherries begin to ripen.
Arsenate of lead should be added to
each of the last two applications to
kill the Plum Curculio and to keep
the cherries free from maggots. The
lime -sulphur for ` the first- spray
should be in strength about one gal-
lon to fifteen or twenty gallons of
water, and for the second and third,'
one gallon to about forty gallons of
water. Bordeaux for any application
should be composed of four pounds,
of bittestone and four pounds of fresh
stone lime or six ,Pounds of hydrated
lithe to forty gallons of water, The•
arsenate of lead 'should be at the
strength of two and a half pounds
of the paste form to forty gallons of
liquid ; or half this amount if the
powder form is ured.

SIR VIL-1O1tIAS WHITE
Minister of Finance under whose
direction the great Victory Loan
drive for $500,000,000 is being
made.
The money to be raised is ;urgently
required to enable us to continue the
prosecution of the war, now 'in its
fifth,and most crucial year, and for
the maintenance of the prosperity of
the Dominion in all departments of
productive activity. '
Apart from patriotic considerations
which should alone suffice, it is the
direct, immediate, personal interest
of every individual Canadian citizen
that the: Loan should not fail of its,
objective. The bonds afford absolute
security and yield a most attractive
rate of interest. - Undoubtedly, in the
period -succeeding the war, they will
show a substantial appreciation in
value.
All citizens are earnestly invited.
to subscribe. Remember, you are ask-
ed not to give but to lend your
money to the state. Suiali subscrip-
tions from those of .;slender means
are as welcome as the large. In the
last Victory Loan we received 'sub-
scriptions of over four hundred mil-
lion dollars from over eight hundred
thousand subscribers. 'This year we
expect five hundred million dollars
from more than a million subscribers.
Let all subscribe to the extent of
their means, be they great or small,
and once moree.es✓� wi` . the
world the strength, unity and'deter-
inination of the Canadian people in
this world struggle. Even if the war
should end at an earlier date than
has been anticipated, all the money
asked, for will be required for the
purposes of demobilization,which will
extend -over many months, and -for
the continuation of credits for the
purchase of Canadian products. The
organization and publicity work in
connection with the Loan has been
completed' after many weeks of ef-
fort. It now remains for the people
of Canada to do their share. That
they will do so to the fullest' degree,
1 am 'entirely confident.
