URGES YOUTH NOT TO STRAY Roger Babson Speaks of Opportuni- ties in Canada—Better Than. in U. S.—Economist Convinced that Young Men Better Off in Domin- ion. Toronto, Ally 5—The young fel- low who leaves Canada for a bigger job .in the United States nowadays is penny wise and pound foolish, in 'che opinion of Roger W. Babson, head of Babson's statistical organiza- tion. His analysis of present condi- tions is that anyone who makes such a move is sacrificing much more in future prospects than he gains in immediate advantage. He arrived here Tuesday night in the course of a tour of Canadian cities. Inevitable Result. It always strikes me as unfor- tunate that we have so many of your capable young Canadians coming over to the States—unfortunate for them, he said here today, "What happens is that they come to the States, fall in love with an American girl, marry and remain in the Stats for good. "What they overlook is tha'c, while a young man can earn more in the States than in Canada just now, he has nothing like the same opportunit- ies for growth and advancement. The United States is working virtually at full capacity today and there is not the room for dimension there that there is in Canada. I do not mean I would advise a middle-aged man to leave the States and come 'co Can- ada, but I certainly would not advise any young man to leave Canada for the States, He is infinitely better off in this country. "All you lack in Canada is men for it is men that make values, The 'United States had just as much coal and iron and copper and land a hun- dred years ago as she has today. She is more prosperous now, though, because she has more men. MAKES COMPARSION "You Canadians ought to see to it that you keep your young men, particularly those who have the 'training or ability for leadership. Here is a point to remember; In the United States 20,000,000 workers are employed under the direction of 40,- 000 executive -500 workers to one executive. Therefore, when Canada loses one young man who has in him the :makings of an executive she loses potential employment for 500 Men." The United States Mr, Babson des- cribes as being in the midst of a per- iod of 'profitless leresperity.' He did not predict any real ,depression in business there) but he expected the noxa 12 months to be 4pieter than the last.

In revere cases the dis- ! Tubers under affected tops are sub- I ease 'win spread to the stems. jec'c to the disease. Spores which fall from the leaves are washed into con- tact with the tubers and cause infect- ion, which develops in the form of ' purplish areas which become sunken at digging time, or later in storage. The flesh takes on a rusty brown col- our which extends normally into the tuber about one-fourth of one inch. This condition is known as dry rot. Successful control of this disease is dependent upon thorough spray- ing of the plants with Bordeaux mix- ture. Five to seven applications are necessary, starting when the plants are six to eight inches high and con- tinuing at intervals of eight to ten days throughout the growing season, In cloudy weather spray every week. Spraying operations should be per- formed with three nozzles 'co the row. One nozzle directs the spray down- ward, covering the lower surfaces of the leaves. The pump should be cap- able of delivering the spray under not less than 150 pounds pressure. The formula for making Bordeaux. Mixture is as follows: Bluestone (copper sulphate) .. 4 Ib Stone lime 4 lb Water 40 gals It is not advisable to use a stronger solution. If greater efficiency is de- sired increase the pressure and num- ber of nozzles to the row and go over the field a second time in an opposite direction. Thelduestene must be dislved and the lime slaked in ditr,r,111: tailwrs, Each solation 18 diluted wi•li half the water (20 gallons:.

Each gallon of water , will contain one pound of lime, Bordeaux mixture can now be made up directly in the sprayer by filling it half full of water, and, if it has a capacity of 40 gallons, add two gallons of the stock solution of bluestone and two gallons of the stock solution of lime, ate)which the cask can be nearly filled with wa- ter and two gallons more of each of the stock solutions added. If the container is not full add the neces- sary amount of water. If the sprayer has a larger tank it is merely neces- sary to add proportionate amounts of the stock solutions. While spraying is the essential fac- tor in controlling blight, other pra- ctices are exceedingly profitable. Experiments performed at the La- boratory of Plant Pathology, Experi- ment Station, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, have shown that keeping the tubers well covered with earth largely prevents 'blight when blight is severe. In late September or early October it has been found profitable to kill the tops off with a strong solution of bluestone (15 Iles to 40 gals. of water). By delaying digging for two weeks after the tops are dead, much blight rot will be a- voided. Potato growers should look upon spraying as a business proposition. It is one of the necessary operations for the successful culture of potatoes and should not be neglected. 2:44:0,-6104+0.04:5-0-0,04,0404-.04.0.0.0-04-6444-146-0:4-04-0-04-etlectelee-lect-ese•-04see Huron County School Fairs Following are the dates of the I Huron County School Fairs for this year: September 10—Varna 11—Goderich Township 14—Colborne Township 17—Ashfield Township 18—St. Helens 19—Wroxeter 20—Blyth 21—Howick 22—Ethel 24—B elgrave 26—Usborne Township 27—Crediton 28—Grand Bend October. 1—Dashwood 2—Zurich 3—Hensall 4—Clinton, town 5—Clinton Rural 11 Lemij . • '44. 57.0471PW:. :•'11 ej vier Salesman Lo, the people of the earth do me 'hom'age.

Towering mountain peaks, pleasant valleys and shimmering lakes all help to make this a land of real en- ehantment. The Athabaete, River, from its birth- place among the glaciers and icefields of this region, flows clown first through Rocky Gorges and then through a wide, pleasant valley. At one point it tam- bles over a cliff at the foot of Mount Rerkeslin, and here at Athabasca Falls is'one of the beauty spots of the famed Athabasca Trail.
