An increased' demand by the pubiie for information regarding ]ancl__sob tlerneut is - reported by the Depart- ment. of the Interior at Ottawa. This increased interest is attributed partly to the athat w fact Crown Lands in Western Canada within fifteen miles of a •raihvay, wh:c"]t heretofore have been reserved for returned Men, ;be- came available for civilian entry. on the first of May. Besides Oreivn Lands that may be available, it . is .estimated that there are about 200,000 .quarter sec- tions of privately owned lancls lying, idle in the Prairie Provinces; mostof" 'them within easy reach of railways. ' The seine condition `applies, though in n lesser degree, to,the older pro- vinces of Canada. - This condition is not, however, due to lack of value in the lend itself -on the contrary and particularly ,in the prairie provinces, much of this idle land is rich virgin soil- when one considers Canada's vast land and area andits is com ar ti [ p a vo y mall population ' isat - S pPP 0 It On Ce Ap- parent that a large portion of the area in private owership must be un- occupied and available for purchase at reasonable prices.

The titin, is agalns t hand for lay, ing plans for the summer caro`of the orchard find garden and nothing that can be clone will be found to give better haying totems than the careful control of insect and fungus 'attacks. It has' beetir'toienuted by reliable authorities that an. annual toll of. 50 per cent, • is taken by the inroads of these enemies of the farin- a' on his vat•ipus crops and that this loss lncreasee many/fold where pro- par preeautlous are not taken. 10 .extreme eases complete destruction -'o8 some erop has - soinetiines been known to oeeur through failure to give caro; or through uegiect o1 the right -steps at the right time, • In thio connection It will be found. that there is nothing that can bo done that will give more satisfactory returns on the investment then a small„ outlay in money •and time on spraying and dusting, But it must bo done intelligently or time .and n)pney will be squandered; and the leading essential here is the choice' of the proper remedy and the correct compounding and applying of it. One of the. tnost outstanding and effective remedies in' use to -day is the lime- sulphur solution mixed with an arsenical. This combination gigs a combined insecticide and fungicide effect, a team play which is very fre- quently required during the growing season, insects and giv- ing 1 often tv-- ing trouble et the same time on._ the same plant. The advantage of mix- ing the ' two and applying thein together is obvious - .the cost of applicalion is exactly one-half what it wodl'd bo had they to be separately applied. But care in making this combined spray •must be exercised. Some arsenicals cannot be mixed with limo - sulphur. Paris green, lopg the most popular bug. exterminator, and still extensively used where quick results are desired, will destroy fully 55 per cent. of the • efficiency of ' the lime- snlphur wash if mixed. with it, and, what is far worse, this mixture will badly damage leaves and other ten - dor parts of plants. itfollows, there- fore, that Paris green, though a powerful poison insecticide; cannot be used along with lime sulphur wash as a combined spray. On the other hand arsenate of lead has given de- cided satisfaction. in this respect and 13 is quite probable that the newer arsenical, calcium arsenate, is also suitable to combine with lime sulplhur'. But the cilief purpose of this arti- cle is to draw attentionto the hitherto little -recognized fact In ,connection with the use of arsenate of lead along with lime -sulphur that there are two kinds of arsenate of lead, chemically,` one of which 10 more fitted for combining with lime - sulphur than is the other. Acid ar- senate of lead destroys nearly 30 per cent. of the efficiency of the lime - sulphur, whereas neutral arsenate of lead, the other kind, only destroys 9 per cent. In other respects, these two forms of the lead arsenate are equally useful to combine with lime - sulphur solution to get a dual pur- pose spray. I1, however, when using the acid arsenate of lead, 3 IA pounds of finely sifted, and fresh hydrated time be mixed into the limo -sulphur solution along with every 1 pound of the arsenate used (which is us- ually 1 pound.to every 40 gallons of the lime -sulphur solution) the de- structionof the efficiency of the lime - sulphur is reduced to 8 per cent. (practically the same as the neu- teal). If this practice be followed when the acid variety of the arsenate is being used it does not matter which of the two forms of this me, senieal is used iii malting Arne - sulphur arsenate spray, as equally satisfactory results are obtained with either, This precaution in connection with combining lime -sulphur and load ar- senate becomes especially important in view of the fact that practically all the leach arsenate now put on the market is of the acid variety. It is therefore recommended` that when- ever using arsenate of lead and lime - sulphur as a combined spray, unless the kind of arsenate is known to be neutral, the practice of using hydrat- ed lime along with it be always followed. -H.

Different Types of Melons Require Different Bundling -- How to Grow .G'ucumbers and Squash -- Raising Rhubarb, (Contributed by Ontario Deps.rtment of Agriculture, Toronto.) Melons are in the class of vege- tables which require a warm temper- atture for their growth. The length of time that they require to mature 'any quantity of fruit is longer than our period of freedom from frost. For this reason we generally start the seed in a hotbed -and give it at least one transplanting before setting in the Add. There are two methods of g1'owing melons: one which Is used with the small or Rocky Ford typo of melons, the other Cor the largo Montreal, Tb.e young plants are started the eamo way in either ease. The seed should bo started about the list -15th of May in small pots} tilled within i. 01 an inch of Um top with loose mellow loam.; place the seed on 1.111s and cover with f4 of an Inch or sand, Hem) them at a tem- perature of 75 deg, with sufficient water. When they have outgrown this small pot they should be Cane - planted to 8 -inch pots. Wo grow two plants of Rocky mord melons In a pot, but only one of the Montreal type, I'M' the small melons We generaily plant thollt in hills four feet exert. We dig oat a hole at each place, fill it nearly to the top with fresh horse Manure prepared as .If fol' ft hotbed, thele cover with six Inches of soil, In .til ii ,c set tho ;yomig planl.s ... kir, w•irr.,ppr "n','.Iopwe, wish tbollt it litllu earlier, wo"mar covet' them with a email cold frame about 00 Inches squ'ar'e, After three or Nur melons have set it is well to Idlp off the ends of the growing shoots. Tiiis forces all of lire food pito the fruit, and makes them grow 'More rapidly, Tho melons should be ;Mimed on a board or berry box to ices) them ate Lao ea,rllt, and turned. frequently 'to nuke thorn ripest more evenly, The seed of the Montreal melons Is fitai'tod between the first and rnrtdr dle of April and the plantesa'p shifted to larges' pots as they regta,h'e, About the middle of May we dig out: a fur- row where the row is to 50, about le inches wide and 18 inchoo deep, the iengtt.of the patch. This we 1111 Dear - 1r to etar-1rt.o the top with manure, prepared as it would .be for a hot -bed, cover with six inches of will and cover over with frames and each, The plants are set in those about every two feet in the row. Thews frames are Rept over them unlit all danger of frost is Past: Mach day, if the weather is fit, they must be carefully aired, After a time the glass is left off • entirely during the day, but held eloae at stand to be, replaced 18 useded, The plants must be kept carefully watered, as this is , very necessary to produce strong growth, melons and cucum- bers should not be grown close together. Cucumbers are generally planted in hills three feet apart. Seine of the • soil is dugout, the hale, 01100 with well rotted manure, three or four inches of soil ate placed over the ma- nure, and the seed planted- on the south side. The seed may be planted in many sections by May 2511s, as danger 'offreezing will, in most sea- sons, be over before it is up. Plant 8-10 seeds in a hill and thin the plants down to three after danger from cucumber beetle is over. We may start some seed in pots as we did our melons, and transplant them into the field after danger of frost v ire sen time 1s" f we e ct to d the irn z past.P we m trim the plants i donein may P as s the greenhouse. This Is very simple, once the fruiting habit of the cucum- ber is understood. The cucumber Sas its male and female parts in separate blossoms, tite male flowers being borne much more freely. Female flowers are generally borne in the leaf Joints near the end of the main Stem or•in the first leaf joint of the side shoots. The leaf. joints 'nearest them bear clusters of male flower, If we nip' off the end of the shoot just past these male flowers, at the leaf Joints new side shoot will appear bearing cucumbers. Continuous trimming, if carefully done, will pro- duce many more cucumbers and less vine. Squash seed is planted in the same way as cucumber. We must, how- ever, give more space between hills on account of their stronger growth. Six feet will be sufficient. We seldom trim squash, 13u1 if we wish larger specimens it is welt 10 stop all growth after a Saw aceizel2e2iv`_.e-eel;..
