The, first na of growth (one or two feet) are bet- ter suited for tbe centre of flower beds or borders. There are no sum- mer decorative plants that can be raised from seed that will make a finer and more continuous display in the flower garden during summer than 'those named, if the seed 'is started early in a window, hot bed, or greenhotise, and the plants given even ordinary care and attention. If sown out of doors early in May they are 'very late in flowering. All th.e plants before named will also be found very useful for helping to fill up window and verandah boxes, rus- tic stands, and .hanging baskets. Be- ing of a perennial or lasting nature, many of them can 'also be success- fully dug up in the autumn before frosts, and placed in pots or bo-tes for Mdoor decoration °during 'early winter.

'AERONAUTICS IN CANADA The development of aerial' trans- port means much to Canada, and this country is particularlye adapted to the'use of aircraft. Our vast undevel- oped territory can be made easily ac- cessible through the use of aircraft. AS efficient commercial machines are ddveloped, air routes will provide quick, safe and reliable means of rap- id transpOrt as an auxiliary to our great rail and waterway systems., The,akir Board Act providink for the ;control of aeronautics twass pas- sed hy the Dominion Parliament in 1919. The 'Board has three functions: (1-) The control of commercial avia- tion. (2) Civil Government operat- fons. (3) Organization and admin- istration of the air defences of the country, 'The Air Board, through' the' Con- troller of Ciyil Aviation, is respon- sibletfor the licensing of all aero- dromes, machines and flying' person- nel in the country, eXamination of praposals for 'air services, the preper- ation of air routes and investig•ation. ef accidents: .; Cemmercial'Aviation, though still in, its infancy, has made considerable pregress. During 1920,18,67'1 flights were made and 6,505 machine -hours flown; 15,26,6 passengers and 6,740 pounde of freight were carried. In 1921, 22 commercial firms were op - orating over 60 machines.

Schizan- thue (Butterfly flower) and `other varieties if needed, may be sown in- doors, early in April for early flower- ing, or they may be sown out in the border about the second week in May for' later . flowering. A 'great many annuals such as; Poppies, Nastur- tiums, Ten Week Stock, Silerie Ar- Nigella (Love in a Mist), Annual Larkspura-and other similar annuals do not transplant or succeed as well when eown indoors. It is best to sow these last named oat of doors early in May where they are ta 'grow. Sweet Alyssum and the Purple and White Candytuets are among the best dwarf edginig annuals we have, and should also Id sown out of doors' early in May. Early sown Sweet Alyssum is often attacked by the small black flea, beetle, that coin- ifietely destroys the plants. Plants from seed sown later -(end of, May) are seldom attackod. The best rem- edly for this flea bettle is to SpraY the plants with a solution of Paris Green, made by first well mixing a small teaspoonful of Paris Green (or Arsenate of Lead) in a tableapoonful or two of cold water, then 'add water to Make one gallon. Dusting the plahts .with Pyrethrum Powder, wood ashes, Dr soot are also' good remedies.

Crop rotations = will,,, if properly planned and practised, maintain the humus supply in the soil, will re- store the nitrogen supply, will give tlr;e ,benefits resulting from alteruat= ing crops, that have ,.different food requirements and leave different root residues in the soil; will help in weed, insect and fungus disease eon- tro1; will make business management' Possible, will :distribute the labor and reduce the risk of tine "lose ix PRor' crop years. Grain G'rrowiuvr Lxirausts the Soil., Lands ,that aie .continually used for grain', crops will in time show exhaustion of the humus supply, due to annual tillage creating conditions that favor oxidation. Lands that are giyen a rest from the action of plough, 'disc, and cultivator, for two years out of every four while grow- ing a hay or pasture crop will not become depleted of humus material, since the roots of the clover and grass crops will during their period of growth increase the quantity of vegetable •matter or humus making' material. The common food plants have quite different root .. systems, le- gumes and root crops go deep, the grasses and grains have fibrous roots and feed nearer the surface. The grains develop their feeding roots and are most active during the spring and early summer, while corn and. the root crops' draw the -greater 'part ' of'thieir food supply during the late. summer. • Use the Soil as a Feeding Ground.: The point- is to use the soil as a feeding ground, for the various ,food plants in such a way as, to employ all its 'resources during the rotatioa period, but not to overwork or ex- haust any particular part of what the soil may offer. A soil that is• subjected to the task of nourishing a surface feeding type of plant over a long period of years will become exhausted of the food elements with- in the range of the feedizig roots: The sana.e is true when a soil is sub jected to supplying the same food. elements in excess to classes of nt be Currants suul Gooseberries. tion is properly cared for, at least eig-bt fo ten crops may be expected beforo it becomes unprofitable be- cause ,of its age. Productive fields over twenty years obi are not un- common in some seetions. Although the nanaber, -of years a plantation will continue in good bearing con- dition. depends to. some extent upon location and soil, the most import- ant factor is the care which it re- ceives. The period of productiveness of. both currant and gooseberry plant§ is longer in. northern eeglons than toward the southern limits of their culture and: longer on heavy soil than on sandy soil. In' gardens where the, available land is limited in extent, currants and gooseberries may well be plant- ed among the tree fruits and left there permanently, The shade of the trees protects the fruits from sun seal& and the • foliage is usually healthier hi such locations than when grown where it is freely ex- POsed to the sun. A place with good air drainage is preferred Tor gooseberries. In low, damp places mildew attacks both 'fruit and foliage. more severely than on higher sites where the air cireu- latien is better. Currants, however, are seldom se-Vorely attacketi by mil- dew. Therefore, when the site is a eloping one, currants may be planted on the lower parts and gooseberries ab-ove. Ae both fruits blossom. very early in the spring, neither should be planted in low pockets where late spring frosts raay kill the flewers. Gooseberries ordinarily are propa- gated by mound layers.
