queen of flowers but unfortunately
there are many parts of Canada where
only a limited number of the hardiest
varieties can be successfully cultivated

EDITORIAL NOTES
The gran I total of Canadian trade
up to November was $81,723,347, and
it is estimated that by the end of the
year it wia reach the billion dollar
mark. January's total was $63,680,443,
February's a million more and March
$93,000,000 greater. The increase con-
tinued until for October the total was
$1u1,277,437. It is estimated that the
November figures, not yet compiled,
will beat October by $3,000,0'IO.
Is Canada ever to rest under a repu-
tation placed on her by some of her
political leaders, that she cannot ever
hope to take her place in the defence
of the Empire fitting to her? Is the
day when she should start on assuming
the responsibilities proper to her to be
indefinitely pastponed? Are her mighty
resources, which with a great shipbuild-
ing program will be developed, to lie
dormant? If we are to believe Mr.
Foster and his colleagues, we are to
sit still, and, relying on a •money con-
tribution, are to kill everything of vir-
ility which goes to make a nation. We
are to shirk our responsibilities by pay-
ing others to assume the same for us.

HOLLOW POTATOES.
able form, the Dominion Horticulturist,
Mr. W. T. Macoun, has prepared a
pamphlet of a dozen pages entitled
"Hardy Rose Culture in Canada." It
is designated Pamphlet No. 0 of the
Experimental Farm and may be had free
by applying to the Publications Branch
Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
This pamphlet divides the roses usual-
ly cultivated in Canada intofour groups
according to the degrees of hardiness
possessed by each. The hardiest group
includes Rosa rugosa and hybrids,
austrian briars, Provence or Cabbage;
Aroses, Damask roses and Moss rose
next come Hybrid Perpetuals, climbing
roses and dwarf Polyantna roses: then
Hybrid Tea Roses, and last of all Tea
roses. It is stated that roses of the
first group may be grown in some parts
of Canada with little or no protection.
The pamphlet treats in a very pract-
ical manner the culture of roses under
the following heads: site and soil, plants
and planting, cultivation and watering,
manuring, pruning, winter protection,
insects and fungus enemies and how to
treat them. Then follow lists of the
best varieties of the various classes
with a brief discription of each as re-
gards form, colour and fragrance. In
the preparation of this treatise the con-
ditions in all parts of Canada were kept
in view so that prospective rose grow-
ers in every province may receive val-
uable information from its pages.
During the past season there have
been a good many complaints from po-
tato growers that, although the yield
has been good, many of the largest and
finest tubers are found, on cutting, to
be hollow. This is an occurrence which
is not uncommon in seasons which have
favoured the rapid growth of the tuber,
re and for a similar reason it is found
more commonly in large tubers than in
those of small or medium size. A pota-
to grows by the addition of new layers
of tissue slightlyibelow the skin. _The
cells composing this tissue are at first
small but rapidly expand to their full
size, and in so doing set up a state
of tension. The layers of cells towards
the outside, being young, are capable
of dividing and expanding in a similar
way so that an external cracking or
splitting is avoided. It is different,
however, with the tissue in the inter-
ior. This is composed of mature cells
no longer in a state of growth, and if
the tension becomes too great a tear-
ing or rupture of the tissue will result,
followed by degeneration and the form-
ation of a cavity.
Cavities of this nature are much less
serious than injuries on the outside of
the tubers, since the latter permit of
the entrance of numerous organisms of
various kinds which cause rotting
They do, however, necessitate increas-
ed trouble in preparing potatoes for
the table since the discoloured surface
of the cavity must be cutaway. Hollow
potatoes are also particularly objection-
able for baking. However, the factor
of rapid growth which is liable to bring
about this condition is in the main one
necessary to the securing of a large
yield, and most farmers will probably
prefer to so stimulate growth by culti-
vation and fertilizers as to attain this
end and take the risk of a certain pro-
portion of tubers becoming hollow.

ing in Ontario." "Division of Labor

Farm." "Ontario's part in Federal
Agricultural Co-operation," etc. These

Mrs. Rice Not Employed
The TIMES has been asked to publish
the letter below, and in all fairness we
give the letter a place in our columns: -
John E. Swarts, Esq.,

pplication to us for
Procrastination.
You are merely storing sorrow for
the future, sages say, if you put off till
to -morrow things which should be done
to -day. When there is a job unpleasant
that its up to me to do, I attack it in
the present, give a whoop and push it
through; then my mind is free from
troubles, and I sit before the fire popp-
ing corn or blowing bubbles, or a-
whanging at my lyre. If Isaid: "There
no hurry —that old job will do next
week," there would be a constant worry
making my old brain -pan creak. For a
man knows no enjoyment resting at the
close of day, if he knows that some em-
ployment is neglected in that way.
There is nothing more consoling in the
eve, when the evening bells are tolling,
than the sense of duty done. And that
solace cometh never to the man of back-
bone weak who postpones all sane en-
deavor to the middle of next week. Let
us then be up and doing, with a heart
for any fate, as the poet said, when
shooing agents from his garden gate.
Let us shake ourselves and borrow wis-
dom from the poet's lay; leaving nothing
for to -morrow, doing all our chores to-
day!

His voice as he stood at the door
rose passionately on the still night

"Just one I" he pleaded. "Just

Then came the sound of an open-

mother's) was heard:
"Just one?" it cried. "No, It ain'$

Why She Thought So.
"Mamma," said the little girl, "sis-

"Why, Jennie," said the mother,
"you mustn't say such things."
"Well, last night I heard her say,
Charlie, if you do that again I'll call
mamma.' And he did it twice more
and she didn't call."

The following is from the Welland
Telegraph on December 20th: --
"Representing himself to hr: an agent
of the Brunswick, Collender Company,
manufacturers of pool tables, a young
man entered •Stearn's pool room, Main
Street, and endeavored to sell him the
the exclusive right of a game called
billiard pinocle. Mr. Stearns became
suspicious that all was not right and
notified the police and had the man ar-
rested for fraud. The man gave his
name as Chester Rice. When Rice was
put through a cross examination by
Chief of Police Laing he said he had at-
tempted to raise the money to pay his
mother's board bill. He told the police
a story of part of his life and that of
his mother. He said that she was the
Mrs. Rice who spoke in Welland against
local option and asserted that she was
receiving as much as $40.00 a day from
the Hotel -keepers Association of the
Province to give her opinion of the evil
effects of the local option law. He said
she first started as a speaker for the
liquor traffic in an American state when
his father, an Episcopal Clergyman,
took'to drink and left the church. She
was forced to support two small child-
ren and when she received an offer' of
$5,000 from the liquor interests to speak
for them during their campaign, she
accepted. In Ontario, she was travel-
ling with a man named White and speak -
against local option, although she said
at heart she believed in temperance.
Recently, he said, his mother has not
been living up to her ideals. To verify
this story the police went to her suite in
the Dexter Hotel. Mr. White, who
is accompanying Mrs. Rice, refused to
say a word. It took fifteen or twenty min-
utesto arouse the woman from a stupor in
which she seemed to have fallen. When
she was finally awakened she tearfully
admitted that all her son had told was
true. She said she required the money
he was trying to raise but that at
heart she believed in temperance, but
only by total prohibition."
The Mrs. Rice referred to spoke on
the street corner in front of the Queen's
Hotel in Wingham last fall.
