Apple orchards are in good condition and a bumper yield is promised. 0 Potato Beetle Poison The best and cheapest poison to use for the control . of the potato beetle is calcium arsenate at the rate of 11-2 to 2 pounds in 40 gal- lons of Bordeaux mixture (copper sulphate 6 lbs., lime 4 lbs., water 40 gallons.) If the poison is used alone in water, add two to three pounds of hydrated lime to each 40 gallons. Should arsenate of lead or Paris Green be preferred as a poison, two to three pounds of the arsenate or half to one pound of Paris Green may be substituted, to be used in each 40 gallon barrel +qf spray. Producer Radio Program m Beginning June 26th, the Ontario Growers' Markets Council are broad- casting a five-minute market intelli- gence report daily at 1.15 p.m. eas- tern daylight saving time, on whole- sale prices of fruit and vegetables. The report covers St. John, Halifax, Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, and is arranged through the Com- mercial Representatives of the Grow- ers' Markets Council stationed •on those markets. CIL—Ty Sandy Soil Management For drifting sands a plant known as sea -sand reed or beach grass has been used with considerable success. It is valuable because of its root- stock growth which enables it to grow up through rapidly accumul- ating sand. When the sand has been fairly well controlled, there are two other grasses, namely rattail and wild rye, which have been found use- ful. Unfortunately the supply of the seed of these plants is scarce. There are many areas of blow - sand which will never be fit for any- 1 thing but the production of trees, b It may be necessary, even, in the es- b a 320 Fairs to be Held Of the Agricultural Societies in Ontario, some 320 plan to hold fairs this year, according to J. A. Carroll, superintendent, Agricultural So-, oldies Branch. "In certain, quarters," said Mr. Carroll, "there was a feeling that government and municipal cuts in grants would tend to disrupt the plans of many of these organiza- tions. However, from the impres- sion gained at the District Fair As- sociation meetings I have attended throughout the province,I feel that the directors are determined by in- creased energy and enterprise to maintain the standards of the or- ganizations, many of which have been in existence for almost a cen- tury." Value of Orchards That good fruit farms are worth 'owning, is the advice of a well- known agricultural authority. Own- ers should make every effort to keep them, for money will be made from them in the future as in the pas Further, he points out that grower who sell nearest home get the bes prices. Culls sold in the home mar kets often net more than fancy fruit shipped to distant cities.. Bu selling culls anywhere is very poo policy as it brings the price down badly, and lessens the desire of th buyer for the fruit. t. General While conditions are fairly satis- factory in the Prairie Provinces, craps have suffered from intense heat during the".past week andgood rains are required over large areas to avoid serious effects, The grass- hopper menace has become serious and is causing damage in scattered sections of all three Provinces. In Quebec cool weather and lack of moisture has retarded the growth of, crops generally. In Ontario crops are is advance of former years but. rain is badly needed to promote growth. In the Maritime Provinces recent rains have proved beneficial and crops above ground are showing satisfactory growth. In British ICo1- umbia early crops have made poor progress in the Fraser Valley end it is estimated that yields of grain and hay will be considerably below aver- age. Conditions have been more favourable in the interior of the Province. Province of Ontario Fall wheat is heading out well and good yield is predicted. Spring wheat shows normal growth and pro- mises an average crop. Barley and oats are making satisfactory pro - press. Pasturage is in good condi- tion but in some districts is becom- ing dry. Cutting of hay is general and a heavy crop seems assured. Corn planting and seeding of root crops has been completed under fay. ourable conditions. Lack of moisture is retarding growth of tobacco, plants. Replanting of areas that suffered from recent wind damage is under way but plants are scarce and indications point to a reduced acre- age. The outlook for fruit continues promising with prospects for a good apple crop but a slightly below aver. age yield of peaches. WHIMSICALLERY PUT -- t BUT TRUE As we write these words, the To- e ronto bar is humming with the ad- dresses made by counsel in the Dor- land-Toohey ease. It is admitted that they have reached a high level, perhaps a peak, in forensic eloquence Messrs. Bell and Regan had been heard when we sat down to this task of composition. if the other lawyers are able to maintain this average we think the case will be memorable in Ontario annals of the law. In any event, the patience of Mr. Justice Kingstone has established a new re- cord that is not likely to be challenge ed. Gardeners' Insect Friends All garden insects are not injur- ous. In fact many of them are eneficial, continually doing good y destroying those species which re harmful. Foremost among the insects that help the gardener are the different kinds of ladybird bee- tles. Both in their larval and adult stages, they feed almost exclusively upon plant lice and scale insects. Another kind of beetle, the fiery ground beattle, is a particularly use- ful insect. This beetle and its vorac- oius grub, which is called the eut worm lion, destroy enormous num- bers of 'cut worms. The beetle is brownish -black, with the wing -eases spotted with coppery red—hence its name, The large harpalus beetle, which is very common, destroys cut- worms. The different kinds of lace- wing, and other two and four wing•: ed parasitic flies are also friends of the gardener. tabiishing of desirable types of trees, first to plant quick -growing kinds, establish beach grass, or use other methods to control the sand until the young permanent trees can secure a proper foot -hold. As to crop yields on sandy soils, there an - pears to be little difference in the amounts as a result of the various methods of ploughing. tmA:tss. Ontario Butter Production Showing Slight Increase Reports from the Dairy Branch indicate a slight increase in the production of Ontario creamery but- ter. Production for April of this year amounted to some 5,156,976 pounds, as !compared with 5,040,977 pounds in the same month of last year. Also, an increase is shown for the first four months of 1933 when production totalled 16,277,023 pounds For the same period of 1932 pro- duction approximated 15,775,695 pounds. torte® Hints to Horticulturists The proper time to transplant Or- iental Poppies is when they are per- fectly dormant, that is, transplant in late July or early August, Cultivate freely and give Sweet Teas plenty of water or mulch. Keep the flowers picked. "Climbing roses should be pruned immediately after flowering, by re- moving the oldest wood and simply thinning out each bush. Cut down Delphiniums as soon as they are through blooming. This forces the plant to send up new growth and flower a second time. The bearded or German Irises ntay be divided and transplanted after flowering. As soon as the flowers fade, cut off all stems and give plenty of water for a couple of weeks, then divide and plant shal- low. swat Weekly Crop Report Aside from scattered showers, the monthof June was almost barren of moisture and in some districts there was not one good downfall of ,rain "boring the month. Southern Ontario has been badly bit by the drought. Strawberries were not more than a 40 per cent. crop while raspberries also have suffered.; Spring crops generally have been injured by the continued dry weather. Essex County reports wheat beginning to turn and some of it will be ready to teut July 5th. Pastures have dried (7r Vegetable Grades Simplified The Dominion Fruit Branch an- nounces that there are to be fewer grades for vegetables this season, in most cases only two. Beets are to be No. 1 and No. 2, the first to consist of beets :of similar varietal characteristics which are firm but not woody or tough, the size being from 2 to 4 inches diameter. No. 2 to consistof all those not meeting the requirements of No. 1 grade. Cabbage also has two grades. The No. 1 consisting of heads which are of simpler shape, firm and well trimmed. By "similar type" is meant that the the lot may be of pointed, flat, savoy or red as the case may be. Well trimmed means that all outer leaves injured by worm dis- ease or other means are removed. Crates of the following dimen- sions are recommended as suitable for cabbage: 12x18x15 1-4 15x1.2 27; 18x17x26 1-2 ; 17x19 1-2x26 1-2.

A Vindication The thing that warns us is that all this extraordinary eloquence, all this painstaking investigation, all this fire and poetry and passion, has been toward the end that a scoundrel shall be emitted from Kingston, If it had been in the interest of Sir Joseph Flavelle, for instance, we should not have thought it remark- able. But in the case of two con- victs it is a vindication of our pres- ent social system of which Sir Joseph —we chose his name as we might choose the choicest flower in the garden—is an exampler. Something Noble But to name Dorland and Toohey properly and keep within the decent limits of language which our readers expect and our directors impose is not easy. In any event that they, the abandoned, the depraved, the lost, have had the help of men fight- ing for them who are among our most respected citizens, and our most skilful lawyers is something indeed, A capitalistic system that provides all this has in it something noble. P.S.—We personally are against it. --,Gas Company 4th Col. Mail and Empire.

Asked about her own she was ob- liged to confess that (they weren't so good. "But why aren't yours as good as Johnny's?" her mother asked. "You have the same opportunities." "I know,mother," said Betty, "but Johnny Wilson comets from, a very bright family." —San Francisco Chronicle.
