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. DOMINION DAY EXCURSION FARES Single Fare ---Good going and returning July 1st only.

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extinction was defeated by the popularity of the tartan in the Lowlands, so that when on 1782 the harsh measures were repealed, the wearing of the tartan became general all over Scotland.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, lat Contingent -- W. H. Darnell, Arthur _Ellis, Dr. H, 3, M. Adams, R. E. N. Barroh, J. Budge, A.

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 oate and 0.7 p.c for barley, Por Rent Thi, Curnrninge' House and shop on Viol' ()rim S 1,et, t for rent.

Tbis is especially true of towns where large areas adjt iuiug have been subject to wildcat bubdivie. loving and have had roadwaye plough, ed, forming Lodging places for weeds, which are allowed to grow unmolest- ed. These produce countless numbers of seeds, to be blown and scattered by Lhe winds over e futas, So far. . bulletins, articles and advice pertain- ing to .weed control have been directed at the farmer, A glance at the condi- tions found in most of our cities and towns will prove convincing that the farmer is not entirely to blame in the matter of weed seed production and distribution. Ia the West the weed inspectors are being trained and instructed along lines that will enable them to assist the farmers iu weed control, while at the same time provisions by law is made to prevent any farmer from allowing bis farm to become a breed- ing place for weeds and a menace to hie neighbours. In most towns there are by-laws covering the weed prob- lem but too often they ate not enforc- ed. Those living in towns and cities Should cooperate and do their bit in the war against weeds. This is an 1 important matter, and should receive strict attention by every town council, Action should be taken at once and not deferred until the weeds ripen and scatter their seeds,— 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!"

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. Homemade Potato Cutter. A writer in the rarmhig Business describes a device for cutting seed po- tatoes as follows: All that 1s required is to fasten a one lnch board six inches hes wide, , planed on the upper side, to the top of a barrel or box, holding it on tightly by two deep cleats.

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 replied showing that there had been a marked increaee in the demand for Spring Wheat, Barley, Field Ptaa Spring Rye, Buckwheat, Husking 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 o- mers this year. Especially when ordering Timothy, Alsike and Alfalfafa they insist on government grade No. 1." Other firms both east and west, testify that th' demand for the best sued has been higher than any previ- ous year, So accurate are Lantic package weighing machines that half an ounce underweight stops the machine.

The interest of a room centers in the lower part, about the level of the eye, which readers absurd any attention drawn to the upper portion of the walls. Complementary or opposing colors should never t•er beused together in their Cull intensity. A pure blue and a pure orange have no relationship as they stand, but if they are neutralized, which means that a portion of the or- ange dye is mixed into the blue and some of the blue into the orange, there result two softly beautiful tones which are entirely harmonious, Attention has often been called to the vivid coloring and strong contrasts of nature, where against the bluest of skies the intense red, yellow and green of the autumn trees blend so beautiful- ly. It is true that the atmosphere, bathing all these colors in its light, seems to create, especially where the magic of distance is added, a harmony of eolors which within doors would never be tolerated.

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.
