Anthracnose of Lettuce.
Specimens of lettuce showing well
marked symptoms of anthracnose
caused by the fungus Mansonia panat-
toniana were received by the Dept. of
Botany, O.A.C. during the past sea-
son. This is believed to be the first
time that this disease has been re-
corded as occurring in Ontario. An-
thvacnose is chiefly a disease of green-
house lettuce but sometimes injures

Another planned a banquet and
public speaking rompetitian for public
school pupils and the young people of
the community, Separate eampeti-
tions were arranged for different
grades. The event proved of so much
interest to parentis and friends that
the banquet had to be abandoned for
lack of room to set tables. But they
had the speeches and a pass -around
supper afterwards.
One branch is financing a music
teacher to come to the school once a
week to teach the children singing.
They are undertaking this for a per-•
rad of six months. At the end of this
time they will hold a concert, inviting
the parents and trustees, with the
hope that the scheal section will con-
tinuo the lessons and take on t11e re-
sponsibility of paying for them, also
that the work will be introduced into
other schools in the neighborhood.
Another has organized a children's
choral class, engaging a local teacher
to lead them.
One branch gave flower bulbs to the
school children to plant, and In the
summer gave prizes for the best flow -
era produced.
An Institute, which draws its mem-
beim freer three school sections, three
years ago presented each school with a
gramophone and records. They pre-
sented these to the wheels on the lost
afternoon before Christmas, at an
open meeting, to which parents and
trustees' were invited. Each year they

lent to use with grain mixtures after
the lambs become three or four weeks
old, as it is laxative and rich in pro-
tein, By using sufficient protein in
the iambs' feed it will be found much
easier to properly dry the ewes off by
the time, or before, the lambs are sold.
In order to improve the appearance
of the lambs and to make them fatten
rapidly, their tails should be docked
and all the males castrated. This work
is done most satisfactorily before the
lambs are more than two or three,
weeks old. Nice, trim-appearang
lambs often sell much better than
those not properly attended to in this
respect.
Horses in the West.
A delegate to one of the annual
meetings of the live stock associations,
recently held at Toronto, stated that
there were now so many horses in the
Northwest that there was no longer
store windows At the top of each
large white placard was sketched a
lunch box tied with bright green, and
below it was lettered this rhymed no-
tice in green:

You're warmly invited; the cash that

The whole poster was bordered
widely with the same Irish color.
On the chosen evening a jolly
crowd gathered with supper boxes and
baskets of every description, for
everybody knew that a box social
meant bringing a box of lunch. The
school hall was trimmed with green
paper streamers, Irish and Canadian
flags.
