Trying Times
The reconstruction period after the
great war is characterized by what
may be called high pressure clays The
demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements. of so-
ciety,' are more numerous DPW than
ever before.
The first effect of the praiseworthy
effort to keep aril with , all these
things is commonly seen in a weak-
ened or debilitated condition of the
nervous system, which results in dy-
spepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, and, in extreme eas-
es, in complete nervous prostration.
It is clearly seen that what is
needed is what will sustain the sys-
tem, give vigor and tone • to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and ac -
tie. Many persona from their own
experience redomnrencl Hood', warsa-

APION
ORCORCHARDCUL7I l
(Experimental 'Farms Note) ,
It is a well known fact that growth
in the orchard tree i.' made during
.the months -of 'June and July after
Which the growth fills out and ripens.
It is also known that early cultiva-
tion stimulates growth. The loosen-
ing up of the earth aids in the warm-
ing of the soil and snakes it possible
for soil organisms which -liberate
plant food to become active , earlier;
air will penetrate better and these
organisms will become active to a
greater depth than if cultivation is
not given. Hence the importance of
early spring cultivation to furnish
suitable soil conditions fore the tree
and the organisms upon which the
tree is dependent for the liberation
of plant food.
Uncultivated areas • may be made
suitable for trees by supplying nitro -
get in an available form early
through the use of Nitrate of Soda
and by using a mulch to conserve
moisture, but on the 'Whole the prac-
tice most suitable. for general or-
chard areas is early cultivation fol-
lowed by frequ.ont cultivation at in-
tervals of, a week or ten days to
the middle of Julie or July 1st after
which ore"tard cultivation should
cease.
The first cutlivation may be shal-
low plowing, four or five inches deep,
after which surface cultivation with
the disc and ' smoothing harrow to
maintain a surface mulch of line
earth is all that is required. Deep
cutlivation is not. desirable, as the
feed roots naturally grow in the
surface soil and sleep cultivation may
injure them. Shallow cultivation
prevents the formation of a surface
crust; thus checking excessive evap-
oration of moisture •nxi retaining it
for continuous growth of fruit, and
insuring a proper moisture supply
for the tree later in the seasons. As
soon as the Around is dry enough
after rain it is wise to start the har-
row, producing thereby a dust mulch.
After the.muloh of June a cover
crop should be seeded to occupy the
ground during the fall;. take up ex-
cess plant food, and develop humus
for the following spring. The com-
mon vetch becded at the rate of 1V'4
bushels to the mere is the best cover
crop. This plant can extract nitt'o-
gen from the air and increase the
store of nitrogen as a result. This
crop makes vigorous growth on most
soils hut will a'o better if the soil is
limed. It is a crop fairly easily turn-
ed under and it is . satisfactory at
pickng time, as it flattens down af-
ter marring considerable growth, This
cover crop may be plowed u11 -
der in the fall or not until the fol-
lowing spring, but the usual prac-
tice is'to fall plow and work with
the disc harrow in the spring, which
is considered the best method.
The area close •to the base of the
tree looks better if kept well culti-
vated, but the cultivation of this
area is not necessary and very often,
injury is clone to the main roots from
plowing too deeply close around the
tree, It usually is better to leave
this space untouched and keep the
grass cut to give a newt appearance.

. ONE --OF THE ADVANTAGES
One of the practical advantages
of co-ordination of Canadian. National
and Grand Trunk lilies of railway,
is shown by a recent order which en-
ables the use of mileage books issued.

other company if desired,
Previoshly, if a business man were
travelling, :from Toronto to Ottawa
:for example, his Canadian National
"book" would be valid to that 1)01111.
But if he wished to continue his jour-
ney to Montreal over the Grand
Trunk, it would' not have been good
on the 0, T, R. trait,
The order just issued wipes out
the distinction, in a mileage -book
sense, between C. M. it, and G. T. 11,
Books' issued by the Brand Trunk
aro good over .all eastern lines of
the Canadian National and, Iikewise,
those issued by the C N,.11. aro val-
id ort the trains of the G.T,11:, One
capital outlay takes the place o.f two
which should be; a matter of satin

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PRICES
FOR FISH
Sonic fish, such as salmon and hal-
ibut high, because of great de-
mand—majority of fishes low-
priced with high food values •
A s7,pmltaneous Movement seems to
have deveolped in all parts of Can-
ada to increase our fish eensunlption.
Whatever has been the immediate
cause of it, the. basis of the move-
ment rests on solid reasoning.'.
There is a general appreciation of
the fact that it will 'require well
nigh a quarter of a century for
mankind to restore the world's food
supply lost during the war years.
Scientists point, out that to accom-
plish a recovery even in that per-
iod every new or undeveloped source
of protein must be worked. Cana-
da's copious fishery resources offer
an inexhaustible supply of protein
and the extent to which sea food
may help to retrieve the losses of re-
cent years is measured entirely by
the use_we make o•3' ft. '
People have apparently been think-
ing along this line, or else the pe-
culiar economic condition prevail-
ing has compelled them to shrink
their expenditures .to come within
their revenue. Fish is a cheap source
of nourishment.
During recent weeks the fisheries
authorities at Ottawa have received
several letters complaining about the
retail price asked for fish. Almost
invariably the writers have quoted
figures for halibut or sahnon, which
have undoubtedly increased consid-
erably in recent years. And prices
for these fish and other sea foods in
their class will continue to remain
high just as long as the demand for
then forces fishermen to search for
them to the exclusion of other good
edible species. As it was recently
pointed out, we have Something like
six hundred edible fish in the waters
adjacent to our shores or in inland
stretches. Of these not more than
twenty or twenty-five are commerc-
ialized,. Why? Because the people
do not know them. They are unfam-
iliar with their flavor.
Upon 'receiving a' complaint re-
cently about high fish ,prices in Ot-
tawa, the Department secured quo-
tations for that day from one of elle
largest dealers h1 the city, anis they
were as follows: steals cod, 10 cents
nor pound, hendless cod, llcents, fil-
lets, 28—cents, fresh haddock, 121/2
cents and -•tomcod, 8 eonts,
A local resident Writing to one of
the papers draw attention t0 a news
Item of the previous day that cod
was sold from the boats at Sydney
at 1.1/2 cents per pound and he asks
an explanation for the differenco•be-
tween 1110 bolded cost and the retail
prices asked in Ottawa -12% cents
per pound.
1n reply it was pointed out that
local dealers do 110t purchase direct
from the fishermen. For cod they
pay about five cents per pound to
the dealer in Nova Scotia. But mind
yon; this Nova Scotia shipper nnist
pack his fish in Wooden boxes, which
are expensive now, and he roust care-
fully ice the fish. Landed in Otta-
wa it costs about eight cents per
pound. : Tho local dealers will t11 -
pack and sell that •fish at ten cents
a pound per whole fish For cleaned
codfish he charges 121/2 cents per
pound, but one Must remember that
he bought the fish uncleaned, so
that the retail ,prices cleaned indust
be based on the weight of the whole
fish,
1n addition to this there is a con-
sldcrfahlc shrinkage in flail shipments,
sonlotiines amounting to twenty per
emit.
These facts are not sot forth to
justify any prices asked for fish in
as retail store. ifoet competition is
necessary. Our present system of dis-
tribution is sly no means perfect, and
no doubt there are many moans of
eliminating waste, Let 111nre' peopto
get into tho business if tI1ey believe
