Work Has Shown—Varieties • of • Sel,I-fertile Sorts Recommended --Eradication of Bladder Campion or Cow Bell.. (contributed by Ontarto Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Fox years It has bee; observed by grape growers that certain, varieties, typically represented by the Rogers' Hybrids, usually . produce straggly, loose bunches, especially where planted in blocks. In the same sea- son and under similar conditions other -varieties as Concord and Ni- agara produce well filled, large bunches. The Rogers' varieties with one exception are self -sterile. Our other commercial varieties are all more or less self -fertile. Result of Investigational Work. Considerable investigational work: has been done' in New York State, in 'Minnesota, and at Vineland on this problem of self -sterility, with the re- sult that the reason wily certain varieties are self -sterile has beeu established, In our own work, as a result of three years' investigations, we have established the degree of self -fertility and self -sterility of fifty- two varieties .of grapes and haveas- certained the best pollinators for such self -sterile varieties as Lindley, Salem, Brighton, etc, Our experi- ments have shown: 1. That insects are the chief agents in the distribution of pollen, wind being a negligible factor. 2. That cross-pollination is abso- lutely necessary in the case of self - sterile varieties, including Barry, Herbert, Lindley, Massasoit, Salem, Wilder, and Brighton. The Agawam is the only one of the commercially planted Rogers' Hybrids which Is self -fertile. 3, That the majority of self -fertile varieties such as Concord, Campbell, Niagara, Worden would produce larger crops of fruit if they were cross-pollinated, though good crops are produced under self-pollination conditions. Campbell often has straggly bunches due to imperfect Pollination. Cross-pollination would help. 4. That the self -sterile varieties (Barry, Lindley, etc.) pollinated by any one of the self -fertile varieties (Concord, Niagara, etc.) will set crops of marketable fruit but that for maximum drops certain self -fer- tile varieties are better suited as pol- lehizers for certain elf -sterile varie- ties than others. For Agawam and Brighton, the Worden is the best pol- lenizer; for Massassoit and Wilder, the Niagara is the best pollenizer; for Salem, the Concord; and for Herbert and Lindley, any of the varieties, Concord, Worden, Niagara, Campbell. Replace Poor Sorts With Good Varieties. In established vineyards where there are large blocks of the self - sterile Rogers' varieties and conse- quent poor crops, every third or fourth row should be removed and replaced with Concord, Niagara or similar self -fertile varieties. Further information will gladly be given to those requesting same.—Hort. Exp. Station, Vineland Station. Eradication of Bladder Campion or Cow Be11. Badly infested fields should be plowed deepl', and then thoroughly cultivated and cross -cultivated with a broad -shared cultivator in order to break up and weaken the under- ground -rootstocks. This cultivation suould be given frequently enough to prevent the plants making any growth above ground until it is time to put in a hoed crop, which must be kept thoroughly clean in oraer to be effective. A well cared -for hoed crop of corn has been found to give excellent results. Special attention must be given to hoeing out any patches of Bladder Campion which may appear in the corn crop, and which are not destroyed by cultiva- tion: If in the fall there is any Blad- der Campion in the field, it will be necessary to plow fairly deeply and cultivate thoroughly and the follow- ing spring repeat the frequent culti- vation until it is time t5 put in a hoed crop. This second hoed crop should not be necessary under ordin- ary conditions. One spring's thor- ough cultivation, followed by a well cared -for hoed crop should destroy practically all the Bladder.

The first of the private fur auc- tion sales which the , Hudson Bay Company has decided to hold in fu- ture at their head office in Mont- real took place recently, when a col- lection of various furs, . estimated roughly at $25,000 to $30,000 value, 'was put up for sale by sealed bids. Grain handled the port of Montreal in 1923 totalled 120,013,- 938 bushels, the largest amount shipped through any port in North America during .the year. Montreal thus maintains for the third con secutive year her position as: the leading grain exporting port of the continent. Dr. Geo. g. Locke, chief librarian, Toronto, at the request of the Ca- nadian Authors' Association, has undertaken to supervise the selec- tion of volumes for the Canadian literature exhibit at the British Em- pire Exhibition. The task involves the gathering together of 500 repre- sentative books and it is anticipated will take about a fortnight. ' From all indications, the potato shipments to Havana this season from the port of St. John, New Brunswick, will greatly exceed those of last year. To date there have been: 750,307 bushels sent forward in twenty steainers, while -from Sep- tember 1, 1922, until January 31, 1923, a total of 505,668 bushels were shipped in seventeen steamers.

Work on the Kenogami damp, in the Province of Quebec, is reported; as progressing very well, and the $2,000,000 works located at the up- per part of the Saguenay river are expected to be completed within 15 months. As a result of these works, the mills operated by the Price in- terests will be kept in full activity during the whole year, instead of partly closing down in the winter months, as they have had to do in the past. More than $12,000,000 worth of, equipment was added to the Cana -t dian Pacific Railway's service dur-t ing 1923. Included were 16 Pacific and 20 Mikado type locomotives, all very powerful and equipped with the most modern devices for power, speed and economical operation. Other items were 15 steel baggage cars, 12 mail and express, 15 first class coaches, 6. cafe -parlor and buffet -parlor cars, 1,000 box cars. 250 freight refrigetator cars, 300 coal cars, 50 oil tank cars, 300 au- tomobile cars, 36 vans for freight conductors and 14.snow-ploughs. The :seventh of Canada's direc- tion -finding • stations was recently completed for service by the radio branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, to assist the boats and ships navigating the Bay of Fundy and the . coastal,. waters ex- tending to Boston. This station tends to make the route favored by. the Canadian Pacific steamshipsin winter, already splendidly ,equipped. with safety devices, still safer. By means of the apparatne, the wire- less operator of any ship in distress within 400 miles of the Canadian shore can find his location simply by pressing a spring.

They are—reading from left to right, H.`: J. Cambie M.E.LC., eighty-seven years of age; T. H. White, M.E.I.C., seventy-six years of age; and J.11. Kennedy, M.E.I.C., seventy-two years of age. They are all resident in. Vancouver. Each has been identified with one of the three great transcontinental railroads now operating: in British Columbia, as chief engineer on_ the location and construction of the original main lines within the. Prov- ince, pioneered through •the wilder- ness of mountains, canyons, forests and plains by feats of engineering; skill and perseverance not surpassed and scarcely equalled in any other part of the world. Each one is en- joying excellent health, ,and occupies the very highest place in the respect and esteem-of•'the members of the, engineering profession together with the general public. Another very interesting coincidence ;dies in the fact that each one possesses the appa- rently magic name "Henry" Henry John Caudate, M.E.I.C., was born on •October 25th, 1836, in County Tipperary, Ireland. He had charge of the location cif the present` main lime of the Canadian Pacific. Railway from the Coast to Griffin Lake, and was chief engineer of the world-famous construction ::through the ::Eraser:: Canyon, from Yale' to. : Lytton and; also the construction"of; 'tithe ,section fromp�•Savona ,Ferry to,, ey'ShusaiaLake: % .

Mr. Lambie explored, sur- veyed and planned the whole course of the Canadian Pacific through a large section of the province of Brit- ish Columbia, and under his direct supervision the part that runs through the canyons of the Fraser was built. At the age of eighty- seven he is still hale and her:rty, enjoying the love and esteem of his fellow men. Thomas Henry White, M.E.I.C., was born on January 27th, 1848, at St. Thomas, Ontario. He was chief engineer of the location and conptruc- tion of the present main line from the Yellowhead Pass, down the North Thompson and Fraser Canyons to New Westminster. It is intere ting to note that he was 1 "r. Can_bie's right-hand assistant during the work in the Fraser Canyon. Mr. White has always been popular with his fellow engineers, being noted for abundant good nature, keen sense of humour, and an absolute fairness in all his associations. James, Henry Kennedy, M.E.I.C., was born on March €rd, 1848, in Carleton County, Ontario. He had charge of the location of the main line in British Columbia, under the Vancouver, Victoria and Eastern Rail- way charter, from Laurier to the Coast. As chief engineer, he built the first section in the Province, from Laurier to Grand Forks, through the Kettle Valley country and afterwards constructed the longer section from Chopaka to Brookmere, through the difficult Siniilkameen and Tulameen (Valleys, • . • The:•eomplete record of the life- rork of each of these pioneer rail- loaders, is full ,of' interesting reminis- cence, .and the monuments ;of. their fin dyn grk are to b e seenin practically heve y.po:nce ,.of ;,tte <Doneiaione a ,N;r Alta ,.
