ary estimate of the area sawn to grain
crops in Canada for the present season
and the condition of these crops on
May 31., a9 reported by correspondents.
The reports received show that in the
Maritime provinces cold and rainy
weather during May delayed farm
work and at the end of the month a
good deal of seeding hal still to be
completed. In Quebec andOntaria cold
winds and frost, coming after the elt'
ceptionaily warns weather of April,
retarded growth, Iu these provinces
the frosts injured pastures, but did
little damage to grain crops. Io the
Northwest proviuoes growth was
checked somewhat by cold and frosty
nights, but, on the whole, conditions
continue to be favorable, In some
parte of Manitoba and Saskatchewan
the need of rain was being felt. In
Alberta and British Columbia the eon
dition of the grain crops are generally
favourable.

Highlanders Recent rroposed Change
Front 'tartan to Khaki.
Anyone acquainted with the .Ontl-
mental regard which Scottish people
have for centuries had for the tartan
kilt— wbo realizes that it has been
the distinctive dress of seine of the
most famous regiments in the Brit -
!eh army, and who has noticed the
strong feeling which exists through-
out the Scottish rage that the nation-
al costume should always be worn
by anybody who Is proud of the tra-
ditions of his country, will under-
stand the feeling of indignation
which has been aroused by the state-
ment that in future Highland regi-
ments are to wear a khaki kilt in-
stead of the familiar tartan. What
is worse still, the ltbakl )tilt, accord-
ing to the latest order, is to be com-
posed of two yards less material
than is at present used.
This is not £ho first occasion, how-
ever, that an attempt has been made
to interfere with the Scottish na-
tional dress, Indeed, in the 18th
century, from 7.746 to 1782, to be
exact, the wearing of the tartan was
prohibited by law, and a series of
oppressive measures were introduc-
ed providing heavy penalties for all
who either carried arms or wore the
kilt.
But the policy of extinction was
defeated by the popularity of the
tartan in the Lowlands, so that when
on 1782 the harsh measures were
repealed, the wearing of the tartan
became general all over Scotland.
Tbe Highlanders are very proud
of their distinctive dress and its his-
torical associations. They are as
proud of the kilt as they are of their
Leather bonnet, which, by the way,
the British War Office endeavored to
abolish 30 years ago. But the. pro-
posal aroused suoh a storm of indig-
nation that the military authorities
ultimately decided to leave the High-
land bonnet alone. It is pointed out,
however, that the brilliant tartan
makes Highland soldiers a conspicu-
ous target,
There does not seem to be much
doubt that the kilt was really the
outcome of the clan system, which
arose in the 11th century, when a
chief gathered his kinsmen around
him and fought other neighboring
clans or tribes, Obviously, it would
be desirable to have distinguishing
marks.
AREAS SOWN TO wuEAT.
Wheat ie estimated to ocoupy this
year a total area of 12,893,000 acres,
which is more by 1.662,500 acres, or
14.8 p.c., that the area sown for 1914,
and more by 2,002,100 acres, or 25 p.c..
than the area harvested in 1914, the
area sown for last year having been
reduced by 939,600 acres, the estimated
aggregate of total failures through the
winter -killing of fall wheat (211,500
acres) and through drought affecting
spring wheat (728,100 awes). Not only
is the wheat area this year under the
double stimulus of patriotic impulse
and high prices 25 p,c, in excess of last
year's harvested area; but it is also the
largest area ever sown to wheat in
Canada, As previously reported the
area to be harvested of fall sown
wheat is 1,208,700 acres, the balance of
11,687' 300 acres having been sown this
spring. Whilst every province shows
an increase in the wheat area it is the
three Northwest provinces which pre-
ponderate in the national effort to
produce more wheat, The total area
sown to wheat in these provinces is
11,659,700 acres, an increase over last
year's harvested area of 2,321,300 acres,
or 25 p,c. In Manitoba the area is
3,166,900 acres, an increase of 21 p.c.;
in Saskatchewan it is 6,642,100 acres an
increase of 24 p.o, and in Alberta it is
1,850,700 acres, an increase of 35 p.c.
Rather more than half of the total
wheat area of Canada is in the single
province of Saskatchewan,

OTHER FIELD CROPS.
Oats are estimated to occupy a total
area in Canada of 11,427,000 acres, an
increase over last year's harvested
area of 1,365,500 acres, or 13 p.c„ bar-
ley 1,518,400 as compared with 1,495,600
acres last year; lye 100,440 acres
against 111,280 acres, peas 189.470 acres,
compared with 205,950 acres, mixed
grains 453,000 acres, mixed grains
453,000 acres, against 463,303, hay and
clover 7,788,400 acres, against 7,097,000
acres and alfalfa 94,480 acres, against
90,385 acres.
CONDITION OF FIELD CROPS AND
ANTICIPATED YIELD.
Measured in percentage of a stan-
dard of 100 representing a full crop, all
the grain crops ' were reported as
showing a high average, the points
being as follows: Fall wheat 91, spring
wheat 96, oats and Seriey 92, rye 91,
peas 93 and mixed grains 91. Hay and
clover with 80, pastures and alfalfa
with 87 are not so good, these crops
having suffered from cold frosty
nights during May. Converting the
points of standard condition for the
prncipal grain crops into a scale of 100
representing the average of the past
five years 10101914, the result, --as-
suming conditions between now and
harvest to be equal to the average, is
an anticipated increase in the yield
per acre of 15 6 p.o. for fall wheat, 2.0
p.c. for spring wheat, and 2.5 p.c. for
rye, For oats and barley the indica-
tions are for yields slightly below the
average, or to the extent of 1,5 p.c. for

A Fail From Grace.
A Scots correspondent, a very
learned man, and an authority on
the history of Scottish families,
writes to the Montreal Standard to
point out that Field Marshal on
Hindenburg's second in command
General von Mackensen, is of Scot-
tish origin.
The correspondent says that it Is
a mistake to suppose that "Macken -
sen" is a corruption of "Macken-
zie," and he traces it to the sur-
name, "Mackieson," a name which is
not very common, but which was
borne by several families in the
town of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire.
Some of them migrated, like many
Aberdonians, to Poland, either un-
der the name of "Mackie" 'or "Mac-
kensen," Probably General Macken -
sen could trace his ancestry back to
1732, to the son of John Mackie, of
Midtown, Inverurie,
The late Herr Theo Fischer wrote
a big book in 1903 on "The Scots in
Eastern and Western Prussia," as a
sequel to his "Scots in Germany,"
which appeared in the previous year.
It was lucky for Herr Fischer that
he performed his task (which he
performed with Teutonic thorough-
ness) when he did. - — —
Array's Colossal Demands.
The vastness of the work of main-
taining the British army -- apart
from feeding it --map be gauged
from a few figures.
In one month there were issued to
the troops 450 miles of telephone
wirer, 570 telephones, 534,000 sand-
bags, 10,000 pounds of dubbin for
boots, 38,000 bars of soap, 150,000
pairs of socks, and 100,000 pairs of
boots.
In ten days there were also dis-
tributed 118,160 fur waistcoats and
315,075 flannel belts.
Tho way that insignificant items
mount up where large numbers of
troops are concerned is shown by
the fact that every week there is
issued on an average five tons of
vaseline for the feet and 100 tons of
horse -shoes.
Some idea of the complexity of the
work can be gatheredby
reference
to the British official "Vocabulary of
Steres," which contains 50,000
items.
A Tramp of Resource.
Much experience of thirsty tramps
had caused the author of "An Eng-
lish Holiday," J. J. Hissey, to fore-
know almost exactly what they
would say to him.. One day, when
sending his motor -ear slowly along
a shady English road, he met one of
this guild, who accosted him with
the preliminary touch of his 'cap.
Mr. Hassey anticipated him by ex-
claiming;
"I be mortal thirsty! Have you,
good sir, the price o4 a glass of ale
about you? I've driven nearly fifty
miles to -day, and since the morning
not a bite of food has passed my
lips."
The look of astonishment that
tramp gave me was a delight to ob-
serve. But this tramp was a man of
ready resource, and, seeing I was a
hopeless case, he rose to the Occasion
and promptly exclaimed, with what
dignity he could command and with
a comically serious expression:
"If there were a policeman in
sight I would give you•in charge for
begging, that 1 would!"

CHESTNUT BARK DISEASE.
A Quarantine Proposed In Order to
Check the Pest.'
The chestnut bark disease bas be
come so serious that in the opinion of
the United States department of ag
rieulture it is desirable to quarantine
New England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland.
Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, North
Carolina, Iowa and Nebraska or such
portions thereof as may be found to
be essential. Tbe proposed quarantine
will restrict the movement from the
territory named of chestnut nursery
stock and chestnut lumber with the
bark on.
The chestnut bark disease is com-
paratively recent in this country. Its
origin is not absolutely known, but it
is believed that it was brought in in-
directly from China, where it exists
also. In 1008 it was found widely dis-
tributed In the Hudson river valley
and in the vicinity of New York city.
It is caused by a fungus which rapidly
kills the native chestnut trees and is
spread chiefly by the distributiou of
nursery stock. Once it bas been estab-
lished, however, it is spread locally by
wind, birds and insects. Migratory
birds may also carry the disease for
long distances.
Siuce this disease is proving fatal to
the native chestnuts in the infected
area it is quite probable that their
place may be taken by chestnut or-
chards grown for the nuts in+' areas
which have not yet been infected and
from which it is hoped that the pro-
posed. quarantine will keep out the in-
fection. At present the native chestnut
grows in practically all of the terri-
tory east of the Mississippi except a
section of the coastal plain of the
southern states, the northern half of
Maine and parts of Illinois and Mich-
igan. For two years after the tree has
been killed by the fungus the timber
remains valuable, but deterioration
sets in after that time.

Satisfactorily Purniehed Chamber Com-
bines, and Contrast, Warm and Cold
Colors—Neutral One Toned Wall
Paper Creates Excellent Setting. For
Pictures.
Nothing expresses character or tem-
perament more openly or ingenuously
than the choice of color, for each col-
or in the spectrum represents a dif-
ferent idea, from the high light of yel-
low down through the cool greens and
blues on one side and the warm orange
and reds on the other to the .shadowy,
mysterious hues of violet. People
choose as their favorite color either
that which best expresses them or, iu
some mysterious way, its exact oppo-
site or complement.
Color has been named the "veiee .et
art," and, like the voice, it differs in
each individual. No two people ever
express themselves exactly in the same
way through color, as no two people
ever have precisely the same voice in-
tonation.
Color is personal and individual, and
by its thoughtful use many things may
be expressed.
A well furnished room combines and
contrasts the wares and cold colors,
the cold generally serving as a back-
ground against which the warmer
tones are displayed, A background
must not be stronger either in color or
decoration than the object to be shown.
This accountsfor the well deserved
popularity of the neutral one toned
wall paper which creates such an ex-
cellent setting for pictures, besides dis-
playing the furnishineis of tale room to
tbe best advantage. Do not forget,
however, that the entire room is itself
only a background for the social life
which it contains, •,1.n(1 the scheme of
decoration must be subordinated to
that idea. The occupants of a room
are more important, or should be, than
the furnishings.
To create a harmonious setting the
tones must be closely keyed, with no
large areas of intense color to distract
the eye. Indeed, the color scheme of
a room may bo said to be successful
when no one tone springs out to strike
the eye before the rest of the room is
perceived. A perfect balance of color
is restful, while spots whicb distract
the mind are not.
If intense color is to be used it must
be confined to very small areas, bal-
anced by larger areas,of much less in -
Reports received relative to the de-
mand for seed this season indicate
that the orders generally have been
for higher grades. All the seed mer-
chants, without exception, agree on
this. Several consider that this to a
noticeable extent is a result of the
recent patriotism and production
campaign. Enquiries were made in
many sections of the country and the
responses received were all of the one
tenor, that greater care had evidently
been taken in the selection of seed,
and that, with fair weather, there'
was every prospect of improved
growth and consequently of improved
production, Professor Zevitz, of the
Ontario Agricultural College, wee
written to, but he being in California,
Assistant Professor W. J. Squirrell

a marked increaee in the demand for
Spring Wheat, Barley, Field Ptaa

Corn, Sugar Beets for feed purposes,
Swedish Turnips, Carrots, Fodder and
Silage Corn, Sorghum, Alfalfa and
Field Beane. Oats, Japanese Beane,
Millets and Clover also showed im-
provement.
One of the leading merchants in his
testimony as to the results attained
says that he has gone into the matter
extensively and bas found an increase
in Red 'Clover amounting to 300 per
cent. Both Timothy No. 1 and No. 2
show a gain. In Alsike No. 1 there
is a gain of 10 per cent. and of No, 2
over No. 3 of 40 per cent. He add. :
"We have noticed that the demand
for the better grades exists very gen-
erally throughout Western Ontario
and that the demand for the lower
grades is more in Eastern Ontario and
Quebec." In testifying to an increas-
ed demand for garden and field root
seeds, the principal of another promi-
nent house says: "There is no doubt
but that the agitation and educational
work which has been done has had a
beneficial effect by causing the planter
to give more thought to the uee of
high grade stocks." A third leading
dealer writes: "We are of opinion
that your advertising campaign has
been very beneficial, At Ieaet we have
found it so. Not only has the farming
business been greater, but the demand
has been generally for the finest selec•
tion of seed stocks." A firm with
ramifications all over the English-
speaking world says: "We notice a
marked tendency for better seed in
the requirements of our farmer custo-
mers

Apples, generally speaking, give
promise of a medium to light crop
only, which is to be expected after
last season's crop. Says are fair where
they were good in 1914, and very good
in orchards that had only a light emir
last year. Greeniugs and Bordnirs
generally are light to very light.
Russets light. Snows fair. Early
apples give promise of a good Drop.
Prices for early and late apples thiL
year ehould rule higher than 1914,
especially during the early part of the
apple season, on account of the lighter
crop. Also it is expected that the
West will he able to take larger quan.
titles of apples this year, and at better
prices, as present indications point to
a record grain clop and consequent
increased prosperity.
Pears generally promise a medium
to heavy crop, Plume and peaches
are a heavy crop in practically all
sections, The canning factories ap-
pear to be in no hurry to make con-
tracts for their supply of peaches,
probably expecting that they will be
very cheap. Cherries give promise of
an excellent crop.
Strawberry patches generally have
come through the winter in very good
shape, being in far better condition
than last spring. Prospects were for
a heavier crop, Late spring frosts,
however, during the early part of the
week of the 17'b of May did a great
deal of damage in many sections,
Norfolk, Middlesex, and the Burling-
ton, Oakville, Clarkson districts all
reporting serious damage.
The News Is Quite Right.
If the county of Rurort is to spend
two thousand dollars a year or so on
inspectors under the Canada Temper
attee Aot, it should have the assurance'
that the inepet:tore will do something
to earn the money. Paying a nalaty
to an inspector does net enforce the
law,—The 5 goal,

The latest convert to the cause of
the motion picture as a power for
benefit in the community is Magis-
trate John A. Leach, of New York
City, who, in a recent speech, Iaid
stress on the value of the film as an
aid to the solution of the drink prob-
lem. In the Second Court District of
New York, to which Judge Leach re-
ferred, and which includes Queens,
Brooklyn, and Ricbmond boroughs, in
1007, when the total population of
these boroughs was 1,775,000, there
were 16,000 arraignments for intoxica-
tion. Last year, in the same district,
with a population of 2,267,025, there
were only S382,
"This enormous decrease in intoxi-
cation," Raid Magistrate Leach, "is due
principally to the motion picture, in
the opinion of the Board of Magistra-
tes. The workingman, who formerly
went to the saloon as tbe 'working-
man's club,' now goes to the picture
show with his family.
