THE APPLE IN CANADA
There were 10,408,457 bushels of

'bushels were produced in Ontario, 1,666,-
382 bushels in Nova Scotia, 1.481,239 in
Quebec and 575,377 in British Columbia.

bers of the provincial Cabinet, and

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

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.

WILD OATS.
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,

"MAIMING THE ii♦4tY.
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.

The vast amours work undertaken
by the Cenadian,I'atriotic Fund for the
relief and assistance of soldiers' de,
pendelts will probably never be fully
appreciated. 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,

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,

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.
