Mrs. Amy McPherson, of the Ang-
ielus Temple, Los Angeles, is conaltig
back from a trip to the Holy Land,
on Saturday. 1 see by the paper that
they expect teu thousand people to be
at thestation to meet her. She has
been speaking in London, England,
and Dublin. Both places wanted her
to stay, but she has her 5,000 con-
gregation here. We would like to go
and hear her talk about her trip, but
it would likely be impossible to get a
seat. We will just have to listen ov-
er the radio. She is doing a wonder-
ful work. There is a new addition to
the temple for students being trained
to go to the foreign field. It costs $00
to broadcast every Sunday. You are
supposed to hear her in Canada.

FERTILIZING
THE ORCHARD
A fertilizer carrying the proper -
tions of 30 pounds of nitrogen, 50
pounds of phosphoric acid, and 50
pounds of potash is 'considered to be
the most suitable fertilizer for gen-
eral orchard use. Such a fertilizer
can be made up by using 200 pounds
of nitrate of soda or 100 pounds of
sulphate of ammonia, 300 pounds of
acid phosphate, and 100 pounds of
muriate of potash. These may be
mixed together and applied at the
one time at the rate of 650 or 600
pounds per acre. Slag may be used
in place of acid phosphate, at the
rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre
according to the amount of phosphor-
ous it contains, and should be pplied
separately, not being mixed with the
other fertilizers before being applied
If the vigor of the tree is such
that terminal growth is short, an ad-
ditional amount of nitrogenous fer-
tilizer should be applied, at the rate
of 100 to 200 pounds per acre, to
such trees as may require special
treatment.
Nitrate of soda has been the fav-
orite nitrogenous fertilizer, and be-
cause of its quick action in supplying
readily available nitrogen for early
growth it seeme fully to meet orch-
ard requirements. Sulphate of am-
monia might be used in colnbination
with it.
It is thought advisable to 080 111088
potash than has been the custom dur-
ing the past few years. This may not
be necessary on the heavier soils,
which usually contain more potash
than lighter soils. A fertilizer car-
rying the three elements' of plant
food is likely to give the best returns
ultimately, and while a shortage in
any one elommt may not be notice-
able in reduced crop yield or vigor,
Yet ultimately the lack of this ele-
ment may adversely effect the crop.
It is advised that the fertilizers be
applied to the orchard from the first
to the middle of May, thus encourag-
ing a vigorous early growth. The
fertilizer should be scattered evenly
around the tree and to a distance of
two feet beyond the spread of the
branches.
If the orchard is in sod it is neces-
sary to double the amount of nitro-
genous fertilizers used. The grass
during the early spring very rapidly
takes up the nitrates formed and an
excess must be applied if the tree is
to benefit to the extent it should.
Tho rapid growth of grass due to
the nitrogenous fertilizer used should
be checked by repeated cutting, thus
preventing excessive drying one of
the soil.

Tomatoes are grown extensively as
a truck crop, as a tnarket garden crop
and lu the home garden. The field
acreage grown for canning in Ontario
has reached ataxy thoueand acres.
Sons.
The tomato does well on a wide
range of soils. However, for the ear-
ly crop light sandy or gravelly looms
are preferred, while for a heave,
yield, later crop, the rich sandy loams
or clay Mauls are preferred.
Fertilizers and Manures.
General recommendations at best
can only be a guide for the use of
fertilizers and manures with this
crop. The character and treatment
of the soil, along with what may be
the ultimate use of the crop, together
with the length of season for the dee:-
Wet, all help to suggest what treat-
ment is needed, It is generally recog-
nized that the tomato crop requires
a soil In a high state of fertility.
Fresh manure should not be applied
Just previous to the setting of the
plants, far better if applied the pre-
vious autumn, or with the previous
crop. Tomatoes will do well follow-
ing clover, ploughed under the pre -

Planting.
Tomato plants ars tender and
should not be set out into the Reid
until after danger from frost is over.
Previous to setting out they should
be well watered and as much of the
soil and roots be moved with the
plant as possible. It is well to choose
a dull day or else delay planting un-
til late afternoon.
The usual distance of petting the
plants is four by four feet. Various
k methods are used to facilitate the
work of setting — some growers
plough out furrows, others mark
their fields and dig the holes, while
the most common method with the
small grower' is to Ilse a trowel in
• setting the plants. It is good prac-
tice to set plants somewhat deeper
than they were growing in the pot
or box. Firm the soil well around
the roots' of the plant, this is
important.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should be frequent.
Keep all weed growth down. As the
plants develop the tillage ehould be-
come more shallow and finally cease
when injury to the roots is noticed.
Growing Staked Tomatoes,
IVIany commercial growers produce
a crop pf tomatoes from plants sup-
ported by stakes and pruued to a
single stem. This is an excellent way
to grow the home garden crop.
Training.
Plants may be set from twelve to
eighteen inches apart in rows that
*are three or four feet apart. In-
dividual stakes of wood or iron may
be used to support the plants or such
may be supported by tying to wires.
Raffia is the most satisfactory tying
material, used as a loop around the
plant stem and attached to the
support.
Pruning.
In order to produce a single stem
plant, all side shoots and suckers
must be pinched off as soon as phey
appear.
Harvesting.
Tomatoes allowed to ripen on the
vine have a superior fiavor, so fully
colored fruits only should be pulled.
The eleven -quart basket is the most
popular marketing package used in
Ontario at the present time.
Firm, sound, well graded, clean
limits only, should be packed for
market. —Dept. of Horticulture, 0, A.

When the next session of Parlia-

may find themselves limited to forty
minutes in their orations. There
have been two or three hour speeches
this session on the Budget and Ad-
dress.
Premier Ring gave the intimation
to Parliament, when, before the or-
ders were called, he said the Govern-
ment might dispose of the report of
last year's committee which consider-
ed the revision of rules by simply
movin37 concurrence in their recom-
mendations. A. L. Beaubien (Mani-
toba Progressive) had asked if the
Government had come to a decision.
The acceptance of the committee's
suggestions would effect radical
changes in the procedure of the
Commons.

The outstanding recommendations
is as follows:—
"No member, except the Prime
Minister and the Leader of the Op -
pastime or 0 Minister moving a Gov-
ernment order, and the member speak
ingimmediately after such Minister,
or a. member making a motion of "310

The committee noted that the ex-
treme length of the Budget debate
had aroused public opinion, and com-
mented that the growing.; practice of
