UM Omnikg c't Power Regina, Nov. 4. --In the realign- ment a Liberal forces, neceesary If' Mackenzee KingParty remains in fle whet part will be played by ! Premier "Charlie" Dunning of Sask. atehewan? Dunning—who 0 the Youngest premier in the empire—has been much M the limelight lately. When Premier King vieited the West he announced that the Saskatchewan Liberal leader wile slated for the im- migration portfolio in the event of the government returning with a maj- ority. In all his public uttiennces, Dun- ning, however, nevi..rouucod whether he would eccept, preferring with his customary caution to wide ethe verdict of the people before com- mitting himself. And he had good 'Mason for so doing, He had just galloped through n provincial elec- tion, and with practically no opposi- tion facing hem, was assured of four years' mice in the legislature. Will he now take a chance with n job at Ottawa when the federal situation is so unsettled? He declin- ed Tueeday to newer question and refuses to discuss the political situation, except to express eatiefac- Got) that the low tariff forces in Sask- atchewan had won such a complete victory. Dunning undoubtedly can be a • treat help and strong factor if Mackenzie King is to merge the ehattered ranks of the Western Pro- gressives and Liberals. He hi admit- tedly the strongest political leader on the prairies to-day—as witness his 1 Work last June, when in the strong -1 hold of Progressivism, he led his co- • Yee: The "Daddy Of theta an" aeleirSese Watertnen'S Ink adds to the efficieney of Water- roall'e Fountain Pens and Waterman's Pert adds to the efficiency of Waterman's Ink, To perfectly function, fours, tain pen ink must be free from sediment- it must Row freely and never clog.

There are fifteen Liberals elected in Saskatchewan and two Progres- sives elected by Liberal support out of the twenty-one federal seats, and the other four Progressives elected were formerly Liberais, the general feeling here is that the Liberals who compose the bulk of the small rernant of the Progressive party will do any- thing in their power to prevent a high tariff government coming into power at Ottawa. Saskatchewan is loath to let Dun- nirig go. When, several months ago, following a visit to Ottawa, it was announced that he might join King's government, a murmur of protest went up from the Saskatchewan press. He was needed at home, and could do more here to solve the pro- blems of the farmers—the people he knows best—than at Ottawa. If Dun- ning decides to move on to the Dom- inion capital, he wil become one of the strongest factors in the present complex political situation. Officially the fate of the Progres- sive organization—that is, in 'the Dominion field—is being settled at Winnipeg, where A. Baynton, chair- man of the Provincial executive of the Dominion Progressive party, is to talk matters over with Robert Perko. tions.

Appearance of Affected Trees—Ifow the Disouse Develops Destroy. Blighted Twigs,--euseets carry the Disease-e'-liow to Control Trouble. (Contributed by Ontarte department of Agriculture, Toronto.) "Fire Blight," a most destructive bacterial disease of apple, pear and quince trees, is prevalent in many parte of Ontario, Partleularly in apple trees. Appearance of Affected Teees. Trees affected with this disease frequently present the appearance of having been ecorched by fire, henee the common name, FirBlight. The leaves will become a reddish brown and die and mummify, In some trees a few twigs only may be affected, in other cases practically every twig will be killed off. Trees that are affected in this way In the early part of- the season are either hold -over cases of the blight from the previous season or have been freshly inoetilated through the blossom with the bacteria that cause the disease, by bees or other blossom Visiting insects that have previously become contaminated by visiting trees that are hold -over cases from the previous season. How the Disease Develops. When a contaminated bee Or other insect visits a blossom for nectar or Pollen, it leavet behind it some of the bacteria that cause the disease, and these multiply in the nectaries and pass on down the blossom pedi- cel into the bark of the fruit spur, where they produce acanker and kill the spur with other blossoms on it, then continue their progress within the bark of the twig causing canker and death as they go. The leaves on the twig then shrivel up, tom brown, and die giving the character- istic fire -blighted appearance to the tree. Destroy Blighted Twigs. *If the blighted twigs are allowed to stay on the tree throughout the season the disease will continue to work on down the twigs, sometimes rapidly and sometimes slowly, until eventually it reaches the bark of the larger limbs, or the trunk of the tree, where it becomes apparent as a canker, In cases where the disease does not reach the bark of the thick- er branches or trunk before fall there is a tendency for the trouble to die out during the winter. But where it gets established as blight canker in the bark of the branches and trunk the probability is that it will live over the winter in a dormant condi- tion and begin to extend itself the following spring when the sap flow commences. This in time brings about the death of the larger limbs and trunk as the blight canker spreads in the bark. We have known young trees to he killed out in one year with this disease, although older trees will sometimes live on for years with the canker slowly develop- ing until filially the tree either dies or has to be removed for not giving a paying crop. Insects Cat•ry the Disease. During raid -season other insects as aphids, hoppers and borers are com- mon carriers of the disease from in- fected twigs to healthy twigs, either on the same or neighboring trees. In this way young suckers and water - sprouts get Infected, and, as in the case of the blossom -Infected twig, the disease will pass on down the bark of the sucker or watersprout until it reaches the trunk or large limb where a cauker is produced leading to death or the affected part, Where the disease le active during the growing season there is trequent- ly a gummy brown exudate oozing out from the cankers. This exudate contains the causal bacteria in im- mense numbers. During rain storms this exudate may be splashed to other parts of the tree, thus leading to fresh Infections, How to Control the Trouble. To control and stamp out, this dis- ease it Is essential to cut out all af- fected portions of the tree. In doing this care should be taken to cut welt below the vielbly affected por- tion four to six inches, if possible, as the bacteria are usually well advanc- ed beyond the visibly cankered area in the bark. The saw, knife or 'Mears used should be swabbed after etteh cut with a good disinfectant, e.g., corrosive sublimate 1-1000, for - mann, or live per cent. carbolic acid. If the canker ift in the trunk et larger ihnbe the affected part should be removed hy rutting well around the canker, two or three inches at lease, beyond the vielble extent of the cau- ker. The wound iihould then be swabbed with the disinfectant and then painted over. The beet time to mit out the dis- ease is the first time it le seen, tin each tnfectiou, so long aS 11 1,0 0.110W - ed to stile', Is a centre for continued weeding of tbe trouble.

Docks at Suva Were All Bustle, Chat- ter end Confusion—Natives Are Clothed or 'Unclothed in Garments of All Hues and Fabrics. Dr. .Arthur .1.• Brown who has been paying a trip to the Fiji Islands, writes of Suva as follows: One enjoying a first visit to Suva, capital of the Fiji Islands, is left groping for phrases to express ade- quately the exceeding and unusual picturesqueness of everything, The town, which extends to the water's edge, is built on a hillside, and nestles among palm trees like a corner of Eden dropped into this lap of the Pacific. The red roofs of the houses contrast pleasingly with the bright green of gorgeous tropical vegetation, cocoanut palms tower high over waving ferns and homes are apparently burled In a thick for- est of luxuriant foliage. The writer found his attention rivetted to the appealing scenes oa the dock as his ship steamed in. All was bustle, chatter and confusion. A. curb market waited for business along the roadside a few paces from the ship. There, the women exhibit- ed and sang the praises of various wares, palm -leaf baskets, fans, coral ornaments of varied colors, strings of shell beads at 25 cents, huge bunches of bananas at 50 cents, watermelons 12 cents, paw -paw, the tropical cantaloupe, and toys of dif- ferent sorts and prices. These natives were clothed or un- clothed in garments of every hue and fabric --white, gray, red, black and .blue, cotton, khaki. and canton flan- nel. They appeared with shirts and without them, but all wore short skirts high above unshodden feet. Hats were very scarce, but one re- sourceful and up-to-date native wo- man had decorated her bead magni- ficently with a ring of shavings of enormous proportions, evidently filch- ed from a packing box. It gave to the wearer that well-known Rem- brandt effect as it drooped gracefully over one ear. • There are at least four occupations that would not flourish in Suva, the barber, the bootmaker, the milliner and the chiropodist, The widespread- ing feet of the shoeless majority seemed impervious to injury and In - 'suit; not a bunion, bruise, corn or callosity was visible! There were old men with shoulders stooping under heavy loads, en- deavoring to conceal their years by en excess of muscular activity, laugh - lug, robust and lazy young Lochin- vats making more noise than effort, and precocious, inquisitive children. not yet in their teens, The Fijians chattered their native lingo, the sounds resembling a suc- cession of staccato phrases like "hul- laba-hullaba-hullaballoo."
