No doubt its product was displaced by stock certificates. • 'cie:!!==> Chicago grand 'hotels are disap- pointed because Democratic delegates stayed in cheaper houses and patron- ized restaurants and cafeterias.' In- stead of taking a five or six dollar room' (prices have been reduecd late- ly-) a delegate would seek •a two dol- lar room, and, instead of paying $2.50 for a meal in the dining room where he could admire the mural decora- tions and listen to a five -piece or- chestra, he would hie himself to some place where he could eat all he want- ed for fifty cents. What's to become of those hotels where the first three thousand dollars that comes in each day will not do more than meet the interest on the capital investment? They are patronized only by the very wealthy, (and they are few and pru- dent) and by travellers who are in a position to charge their expenses to the interests they represent. C-7t� Everyone agrees the Ottawa Con- ference must be a give and take af- fair, and we fancy the delegates are even now making up inventories of what they wish to give, regardless of what they wish to take.

G-1 Did he think it would last forever, that producer' who predicts that if something is not clone soon the mov- ing picture business will collapse? Only early and drastic action, he says, will save the industry, from destruction. But who wants to save it in its present .condition? Only. those who have brought it to this condition, men and women who have fattened and battened upon it. It would be a ein to save it. as it is now. The industry itself will survive but the fabric erected by the exploiters must go, and the sooner the better. Promoters with water, girls with It, boys like Jackie Coogan drawing salaries like Schwabs--jno wonder that what started as a nickel show ends in something very like a racket. It lasted longer than it ,should, and all because in making up the list of expenditures that could be cut to meet declining incomes, we put.am- usements at the foot of the list, and they took full advantage of our frailty. Railway heads are taking steps to meet the competition of the motor trucks. Some one must have told them about it. When the• Ontario Minister of Health advised members of the Medical Association to go easy in their fees, his admonition was receiv- ed with silence. Why the silence? Most of them do not err in overcharg- ing, and most of them do a great deal of work for nothing. These should have applauded. the implied rebuke of members of'the profession who, capitalizing a reputation, base their tariffs upon what the traffic will bear. c=tt==> Economic puzzle: If the , whole world went broke, what difference would it make.

Farmers who grow turnips, cab- bages, cauliflowers and related vege- tables find that the yields of these crops are often severely reduced by attacks of club root. This disease is caused by a minute parasite which enters the underground parts of the plant and causes an abnormal swel- ling of the roots. The diseased parts ultimately decompose and the paras- ite enters the soil where it is capable of persisting for many years. Ex- periments conducted at the Dominion Field Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Fredericton, N.B. reveal that the se- verity of the disease can be reduced by the observance of certain cultur- al practices. Inasmuch as the para- site causing the disease is capable of passing through the intestinal tract of domestic animals unharmed and existing for many months in the dung, manure so contaminated should not be applied to soil intended for crops susceptible . to club root. If there is some uncertainty as to' whether the manure is, free from club root, it is safer to apply commercial fertilizers. A soil which has become heavily infester with club root can only be rendered fit for growing tur- nips, cabbages and allied vegetables after such susceptible crops have been totally eliminated from rota- tions for 5 to 10 years. In addition every. precaution should be taken to prevent the growth en such land of weeds susceptible to club root, :such as mustard, shepherd's purse and pep- per grass. A certain measure .of control can be obtained by soli treat- meant with lime. Heavy applications of lime (2 to 5' tons per acre) 3 to 6 months prior to sowing are usually necessary, . however, for a commer- cially satisfactory eontroI on most club root infested soils, The use of \basic slag as a phosphatic fertilizer failed to control club root successful- ly and air-slakedr lime, was found to be of, questionable value in prevent- ing the disease. The extravagant use 'of lime should not be resorted to if potatoes are included in tbe'rotat-' tion on account of, the tendency of line to procluce scab. Treatment of infested soil with 'disinfectants such as corrosive sublimate, formalin and organic mercury compounds failed to reduce the• severity of the disease. t r Co n ra y oto ordinary belief, 'club root is not borne by the seed. In consequence, seed treatment is of no' value in the control of this disease. The moat hopeful line of control AP - pears to be the use of resistant var- ieties. Certain varieties of turnips tested at this laboratory appear suf- ficiently resistant to be- of commer- cial value on most soils va so s moderately infested with chub root. These ing elude selections from ho ' White, Swede, Bangholm (Herning, •Slue- gaard and.Oisgaard strains).' Certain new varieties recently developed at, this, laboratory also :show a favour- able dgeree of resistance to clulb root even on heavily infested soils. THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE GARDEN The International Peace Garden, fifteen miles south of Boissevan, Manitoba, will be the focal point for many tourists in Western, Canada on July 14th. Arrangements for the dedicatory services are now being completed and a cairn is being built to contain the slab bearing the words of the dedication. The Garden, ex- tending over 3,000 acres of scenic country, is between Boissevan, Mani- toba, and Dunseith, North Dakota, and is not far north of -the geograph- ic centre of North .America. - It- is partly in the United States and part- ly in Canada and control will be un- der an international board. It is expected that governmental officials of both nations and many other notables will attend the func- tion. Bands will be in attendance, the scene will be filmed from the ground and from the air, and a continental broadcast is being arranged so that those at a distance and unable to at- tend may listen in to the memorable event. A landing field for aero- planes is being selected and provision is being made for the accommodation and comfort of visitors. Arrange- ments are also being made for the heavy traffic on the highways lead- ing to the Garden, as well as in the Garden itself. 111•111.11MOUNICSIONNIO nom ROTATION AS 'A CONTROL MEA SURE IN WORM INFESTATION OF POULTRY • (Experimental Far ns Note.) Successful poultry keeping de- pends more and more on the health control of the !lock, and of first im- portance in this is the fight to con- tr•ol internal' parasites. An experiment conducted at the Central Experimental Farm and pub, lisped in the 1925 report of the Poul - shows that of two ens try Divisiono op of 30 pullets; one, pen A., reared un- der ordinary infected soil conditions and the other, pen B, reared free from pollution, the latter gave eggs at current market prices to the value of $6.53 per bird for the eight months commencing • November 1, and the former gave, eggs to the value ' of $3.32 for the same period. The mortality ,figures emphasize even more strongly the importance of having worm free stock. Pen A dur- ing the period of the test had a death rate of 53 per cent while pen B lost only 8.3 per cent. The sane method 'bf control is by prevention rather than by an attempt to clean up infection after it has be- come established. To this end all poultry'houses at the. Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, are supplied with double yards, one at the front of the house and one at the back. While the front wards are being used. the yards at the back are ploughed, thoroughly cultivated and seeded to a good cover crop of clover and alf- alfa, which is allowed to sweeten the land for a full season. The following spring the flocks are put on the cleaned, crop covered yards at the back, the front yards are then cul- tivated and seeded so as to be ready for use the following season. To assure the chicks corning into winter quarters worm free or prac- tically so, the chick rearing ground is entirely removed from connection with the plant where the old fowls are kept. The chicks go immediately from the incubator cellar (which is closed to those working with the old stock) and are brooded and reared en forage covered land over which no fowl has ranged for at least two PAGE 3 sellsans. By thee methods it is anticipated that the pullets will cone into winter uarteirs w •r will worm a. free •and we l becoar- fined to the houses until the follow; ing spring before they are allowed out into the yards which had been prepared 'for diem by resting and growing a crop; of clover all the pre- ceding season. By,this rotation of yards and the using of the growing chickens as one year in ,a four year Crop rotation, it is felt that the safeguarding of the health of; our flocks by' the preven- 1 tion of worm infestation may be sat- isfaetorily accomplished. New $20,000,000 Ontario Loan Provincial Treasurer. Announces 14' Year Province of Ontario Debentures Toronto, July 5th—A new issue of $20,000,000 Province of Ontario 14 Year 5rA% debentures is being of- fered for public subscription. Bonds are in denomination of $100, $500 and $1,000, and the price is 97 and ac- crued interest, yielding 5.81% to ma- turity. Special interest is attached to this issue in that it departs from the usual procedure, being offered di- rect by the Provincial Treasurer for public subscription., The inclusion of denominations of $100, it is said, will receive a wide response from small investors throughout Ontario. In announcing the new issue, the Hon. E. A. Dunlop, Provincial Treas- urer, made the following statement: "This issue," he .said ,"is designed primarily to give the citizens of the Province an opportunity of partici- pating at an attractive rate of inter- est, in the highest grade security a- vailable in the Province, namely, the bonds of the Province itself. The de- bentures, therefore, are made avail- able in three denominations of $100, 8500 and 81,000, so that everyone with $100 or any multiple of 5100 may share in the loan. The issue price of 97 gives the attractive yield of 5.81!
