THE APPLE IN CANADA There were 10,408,457 bushels of apples produced in Canada in 1910, ac- cording to the census of the following year. Of this quantity, 6,250,672 'bushels were produced in Ontario, 1,666,- 382 bushels in Nova Scotia, 1.481,239 in Quebec and 575,377 in British Columbia. New Brunswick produced 272,886 bushels and Prince Edward Island 160,- 24 4bushels. In Prairie Provinces apple rowing was in its infancy, ' but. there *as every indication of rapid develop- snent, as shown by the number of trees coming forward. These facts are point- ed out in a valuable and most compre- heneive bulletin recently jellied, OI which tbe Dominion Horticulturist, Mr. W. T. Macon°, is tbe author, and which can be had free on application,• to tba Publications branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Mr, Macoun notes the prominent place the Dominion has come to occupy in the world's fruit. industry and especially es regards the. apple, He tells us that there ire probably 3000 named verteties, that 734 have been tested at the Central Experi- trental Farm and that 61$ are now growing there. lie tabes a eniVey of• the different provineee,, poi>gting out the varieties that are p ind: $ the best adapted tt certain districts, Quebec is the oldest applergrowipq province and Nova Scotia cernei next, but Ontario is a long way the ;geeateet producer, a1- though•in 10110 fewer than 1,V4,000 barrels were peeked and sold from' the Annapolisend adjacent valleys in Nova Scotia. Mr. Macoun lists and describes the s- rieties suitable to Canada, records the resuite of tbe numerous experiments and testa •at'the Central Experimental Farm, gives complete instruction on tba cultivation of the apple, describes in full the necessary treatment of the trees, advises as to the soil that is best adapted for orchard, says how disease and insects pests can be comb*tted, counsels as to picking, packing; ship- ping and marketing, tells of the keeping qualities of different varieties, and, in short, has written a bulletin of 136 pages of the utmost worth to the apple - grower and ail interested, or likely to be interested, in the industry.

The Matter is Dooming a 1'x'*ctitail POWs* *f haeme 1* That Province. Throe hundred leading citiseaw, laX and clerical, of Pa provinea pt Quebec, recently 'waited, on Sir Lore r Gouln, the premier, and the men, bers of the provincial Cabinet, and urged the responsible ministry to use' Its influence in favor Of at least a test of the attitude pf tho Legisla- ture as to prohibition of the liquor traffic. In the depgtatioa were judges, ofllcials of temperance organ- lz'ations, clergymen, and leymei ,of all callings. They held steadfastly 'to their straight demand, and re- fused to he diverted by intimations that light drinks should be etcepted. They impressed the Government of- ficials straggly by their unity and zeal. Sff"�' . etner Gouin pledged ser - sous attention to the arguments pre- sented, intimating that it was now more a question as to whether the public opinion of the province had been educated to insist on enforce- ment of such a law, and less a qules- tion of the righteousness of prohi- bition itself. The character of this deputation, as well as its 'size, the •respect with which itvwas treated, and the answer it received, all combine to make friends of temperance throughout Canada more hopeful. It has been as- sumed by many that Quebec must b left out of any general prohibition scheme, however remote its complete accomplishment. The supposition, for a long time, has been that eccles- iasticaI and political forces too strong to be overcome -stood in the way of even converting cities like Montreal and Quebec and a peasan- try such as inhabits the villages to any favor for prohibition, much less getting a statute oe the law books, And no doubt the past history of re- form movements in the province has given much cause for the supposi- tion. The tact le, however, that example teaches louder than precept, and the victories for prohibition in Ontario, and in the provinces of the west, are not being overlooked in Quebec. The facts cannot be hidden, and they are having an educational effect. The burdens of taxpayers will be heavy, and if jails can be emptied, prisons relieved of. man- inmates, and bank deposits increased, the French-Cana- dian town or country dweller will not miss noting , the relation between. cause and effect, between temperance and thrift. He is as shrewd a citi- zen as any country boasts, albeit thrifty to an extraordinary degree. After Ypres the Somme. Two officers-on.e from Edmonton and 'the other from Montreal -who were wounded early in the recent advance, too early to speak of the actual event, in the course of con- versation with a representative of The Canadian Gazette discussed the difference between life in the Ypres salient and on the Somme front, "Ypres and the Somme are," said one, "the exact opposite of each other," On the Somme front, they explained„ they were out in the open, and shell -holes served as trenches. At Ypres there was no seeing the enemy and very little chance of hit- ting back. On the Somme you saw the enemy and even saw cavalry at' work, It was harder work on the Somme, but it was much better sport. There was not the sense of being shut up in a limited area, for there were many miles of front, Both officers spoke of the superiority of the Britisb in the air. The enemy employed no Zeppelins on the Somme, and very seldom was an enemy aeroplane seen. When ono was seen it was so high up as to be useless from an observation point of view. The consequence was the German observation was nothing, like as efficient as it used to be, and more liberties could be taken than in the Ypres salient. Rations could be brought up in the daylight, and altogether life was very different from that led in the Ypres salient. The "boys" were alt glad to •be on the Somme front. The German shell- ing was someti i s severe, but the British artillery sent over quite ten times as many shells as the Germans fired, Our guns stood in rows and did terrible execution. A large number of German prisoners were taken. They were for the most part small men, but were very smart, springing to attention directly on meeting an officer. These prisoners expressed their , amazement at our artillery, which had done destruc- tion in their ranks. Both officers sboke with enthusiasm about the "tanks" which were like little battle- ships on land. The nose cif a "tank" could be raised up, and that was how the great machine managed to cross trenches. They were marvellous in what they could do, anal' they cer- tainly annoyed the .';pitmans very much. dl Iteentortite Problem, A delegation of western Menmon- ite bishops save the .)?rime Minister recently about a curious grievance, and they asked his protection.

The weed problem is one of the most serious confronting Canadian farmers to -day. Some weeds are troublesome in every province while others cause most loss where grain farming is ex- clusively practised. Wild oats are a terrible pest in the Prairie Provinces and must be dealt with earnestly in order to keep them under control. Various methods are advocated for their eradication, but one of the very best is the fallow and fall rye method practised and recommended by one of the oldest and most successful farmers of the Northwest. The infested field should be ploughed deeply (sevenor eightinehesif possible) as soon as spring seeding is over, and each day's ploughing harrowed as ploughed. As each crop of oats appear it should be cultivated or disced up t° the 10th or 12th of August when the field should be given a final preparation and seeded about Aug, 15th, at the rate of one and one-quarter bushels of fall rye and packed or harrowed after seed- ing. The oats that germinate with the rye will be winter killed, and those coming up in the spring will not ripen before the rye is ready to harvest. The better the soil is cultivated and prepar- ed,to receive the rye crop the greater will be the numbers of oats germinated and winter -killed. If necessary this treatment can be repeated. Fall rye is a sure crop. the grain brings a good price, and it is the one crop which will 'ripen ahead of the W,iid oats. -F. C. N, ITEMS, OF.

Sir Clifford Sifton stated et the fifth annuli meeting of Commission of Con- servation: "With respect t4 the general progress of conservation ideas, it must be remembered that, in the Iaat resort, the highest degree of conseryatidn de- penr's upon the efficiency .of the human unit. Many influences are operating to increase the efficiency of our people, and especially is this the case with that human unit-tbe boy, To the boy of to -day we must look for future results. When called upon: to undertake the burdens of civic and business life, the effects of his training 88 a boy will be apparent in his char- acter hs-acter and habits, his initiative and action. Canada's future greatness depends upon the proper direction of the young mind of to -day and upon her leading men of to -day rests the responsibility of providing for this training. Many voluntary orginizations are devoting earnest attention to boy training. The Boy Scout Association is one of these. Young as this move- ment is in years, many rising young men of to -day show in their characters and babies the influence of their char- acters and habits the influence of their Boy Scout training. This movement, however, as well as similiar ones, is hampered by the dearth of suitable leaders, many of whom have been claimed by the war. An English paper recently stated: "On the shoulders of the Scout- masters a great responsibilty rests for it is to them that is committed the important task moulding the character of the lads and teaching them those habits of thought and action that fit them for the occupation of a better and more responsible sphere of life. 'Scout masters,' said Chief Scout Sir Robert Baden-Powell recently, 'are the backbone of the movement, and the finding of suitable men is our greatest difficulty."' Canada will require of her future leaders a high degree of efficiency. and that this may be accomplished it is essential that the men of to -day become interested in boy work, and assume their responsibility as Canadians to the rising generation.

In most eases this work is carried on by voluntary effort, and es the organization extends into almost every town and :hamlet in the Dominion but few deserving cases can be over- looked. In the Department of Insur- ance, for matinee, the Montreal branch last month caved for twenty-two families policiee which would otherwise leave lapsed and been lost to the bene- fieiartes. These policies •represented insurance to the value of abcut $30,000, the annual premiums being over $800. In all this branch is looking afterin- srace representingt u n net less than 160,000. In other words, through care, lessne s or fended inability to pay an a t YP Y premiums, this amount of protection to soldiers' dependents would have been lost if the organization had not financially assisted in keeping the policies alive, In addition to what the organization is directly financing, the the total amount of insurance saved to dependents within two years by the Committee's advice and counsel is in excess of $200,000. The experiences of the committee in these matters is a revelation in human nature. One woman preferred to buy a new skirt rather than renew a policy on the life of her husband, who was battling in a Hander's trench. An- other woman, whose husband is daily facing German bullets, would have al- lowed her policy to lapse rather than take the saving bank. Another instance worth recording if unfortunately typical The woman had aa idea that insurance was all right for the rich, but that in her straitened circumstances she should not be expect- ed to make any sacrifice to maintain her husbnad's insurance, in this case amounting to $1000. After an hour's argument with her on behalf of herself and baby boy, she reluctant), consented, 'age 3 Don't Have Catarrh One efficient way to remove nasalt s to treat its � arrht #ea ca URe which in most cases is .physical weakness.

Get the Genuine SCOTT'S to accept a load of $50 from the Fund to cover the premium, this amount to be repaid in montlli instalments. The husband was subsequently killed in action, and the wife received the full face value of tbe policy. It was a grateful mother who called a few days later and tearfully thanked the commit- tee for their advice and assistance. Since this branch of the work was organized practically every woman in- terviewed has acted on the committee's advice. In many cases the committee has had to act quickly and without con - suiting the woman, and here again there was little fricton, matters being after- wards satisfactorily explained to the dependents. In this connection it is gratifying to note that the insurance companies have generally dealt liberally and sym- pathetically with relief Committees.
