but had an opportunity to know them
personally. And this is borne out by
those, who have had the opportun-
ity of meeting and conversing with
the several members, from the King
down:
I read a little article the other day
about' the Princess Mary which
bears out what I've been saying very
fully. It was abort the rule follow-
ed in the rearing of her two young
sons, who are now aged seven and
four years. It seems the Princess
wished: for her eldest son as soon as
he was born that he should be a
"good sport.” And she, backed by
her husband, has brought up her sons
to. take their knocks with a smile.
Crying- is ;discouraged as not being
"sporting" ; and the wee lads are
taught not to whine. They, are also
not taught to look upon themselves

George V, King of 'Great Britain and

Prince of Wales, heir to the throne

Another thing which is noteworthy
• is the fact that these children are not,
talked to in "Baby talk," Parents,
nurses and attendants speak to them
and with them in correct English
and they also speak correctly. "I
am sure a child ran appreciate beau-
tiful speech and I do notawlsh my

said to a friend in this connection.
She also reads to them beautiful
stories and fairy tales, to which they
listen with the same absorbing 'in-
terest, you may be sure, that any
normal child does,
It seemed to me as I read this that
many ordinary mothers might take
a leaf from Princess Mary's book in
the training of chilrenl Too often
children seem to be - taken in the
light of playthings, while they are lit-
tle, 'and as burdens: when they; grow
older and, owing to lack of proper
training, more troublesome. 'loo
seldom are they regarded in the
light of a .grave responsibility which
may also be, from the cradle days to
old age, aft' .unmitigated joy. 'bey
are so often allowed to acquire hab-
its in early youth which must either
be unlearned later on or else will
niar their whole lives, rendering them
leas lovable, less able to bear .the
vicissitudes of life or less able to
make a success of their lives.
Take, for instance, the matter of
being a good sport. Sportmanship,
'lie faculty of being able to give the
other fellow his .. due, taking' the
blame for one's own faults and not
shouldering one failures off on to
others, there is no quality more nec-
essary in making life a: success. If
we are forever 'blaming others and
feeling ourselves to be imposed open
-we do not see our own faults nor
try to improve them. But if we
have been taught to see the. right of
others and to' give them their due,
we can discern our own failings and,.
having seen where our failure occur-
red, we can fortify„that weak spot
and do better next time.
Good sportsmanshi helps in every
circumstance. of life„in the family,
in the relation of parents and child-
ren, in the relations of husband and
wife; as between friend and friend,
in business and in games and sports.
Sportsmanship and a sense of humor
will carry a man or woman, a girl
or boy suecessfulIy over more rough
places .than almost any other two
virtues or accomplishments. A
sense of humor is more or less a
gift of the godds •but sportsmanship
may be taught or acquired andthose
having to do with children would be
serving them well to encourage- the
cultivation of it.
REBEKAFH
ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL
STATISTICS, 1929
Ottawa, May 14.—The Dominion
Bureau of Statistics has made the
customary arrangements for the col-
lection and publication of the annual
agricultural statistics of Canada for
the year 1929. These statistics will
be based upon returns to be col-
lected next June from individual far-
mers upon cardboard schedules is-
sued to them through the teachers
and children of the rural schools, as
well as from farmers direct, which
will be circulated on an increased
scale this year. The schedule is a
very simple one, calling only for the
sareas sown to field crops and ' the,
numbers of farm animals alive on
the farm in mid-June. Upon the
resulting estimates of total areas
sown are based the preliminary,
provisional and final estimates of
yield, -which are of supreme impor-
tance in connection with the move-
ment, financing, distribution and
sale -of the principal cereals, espec-
ially of wheat, of which Canada is
now the ,world's leading exporter.
The present plans for the collec-
tion of these statistics have been
followed annually since 1917, and the
estimates based thereon have come to
be confidently ,relied upon by all in-
terested in the production and; dist
tribution of Canadian grain.
Accurate statistics are indispen-
sable for a proper appreeiation of the
national progress, and in order to
ensure that the statistics may be as
accurate as possible, it is- earnestly
hoped that fanners throughout the
Dominion will not fail torender the
Mall service required by filling tip
and returning the schedule issued,
'If 'any farmer should not receive
the cardboard schedule by the middle
of June he should apply for same
either to the school teacher. of the
nearest local rural -school, or to his
provincial Department of •Agricul-
ture;'or to the Dominion Statistician
at Ottawa. The aim is to obtain a
oomplcted schedule from every far-
mer, as the mor numerous the re-
turns, the more trustworthy will be
the ,resulting estimates.

THE TUBER UNIT METHOD OF li[s�liix�es�r111e provide a stove, Hap -
(Experimental Farins Note)
It has been the experience of grow-
ers of Certified Seed Potatoes that
ordinary field_ roguing practicesdo
not control mosiac satisfactorily.
Varying percentages are now show-
ing in strains which have enjoyed a
record of freedom from this disease
for many years. In others, alarming
amounts have been noted and yearly
increases are hrev,itable. This is
particularly true of .Green Noun
-
tains. The grower confronted with
his difficulty must decide :whether
to continue fighting mosiac or to re-
place his seed stock with a health-
ier strain. The latter course is to be
recommended if the occurrance "" of
inosiae has given much trouble or
made 'certification difficult, How-
ever, where small amounts are pres-
ent it has been demonstrated by the
Division of 'Botany, Experimental
Famnis Branch, that careful seedplot'.
selection by the 'tuber -unit 'method
will effect control of mosiac.- Those
deshrng to improve their seed pot-
atoes in this way should, stake a
number of healthy ,plants. . The crop
from these is hand dug and set aside
for. tuber -uniting, the following year:
Bin selection may be resorted to.
However, this is net to be recom-
mended except where the • staking
was overlooked the previous season.
The size of the pini will be governed
by. the requirements - for the next
year's seeding. A seed plot of nue'
acre should provide sufficient mat-
erial for telt acres,
According to the tuber -unit meth-
od, potatoes weighing from five to
eight ounces; are cut lengthwise into
four equal sets. `These are planted
consecutively in a unit 'of four hills.
To prevent mixing the units, a
space of two feet or, More separates
the gets of one tuber from those of
the next in the row.
During the growing season weak
and diseased plants are roved out,
along with the remaining members
of the unit in which they occur. In
order to prevent contamination this
plot should be isolated front other
potatoes.
Each hill is dug senarately by
hand, and the most desirable tubers
are selected from each unit for an-
other seed plot. The culls are then
graded out and the remainder set
aside for next year's main crop.
Having once established a disease-
free strain the seed -plot may adjoin
the main field.
The amount of work involved in
the above method is :small and more
than compensated by the satisfactory
results obtained.

been some agitation off and en' for

about sixteen'or seventeen years ago
it was *,aught that Zolmesville
would go the way of many other of;,

for many years, but in that it had a

in some cases deliver mail at the
gates, but for a number of villagers
will stop at a row of boxes which
will have to be erected along . the

bridge. No. 3' route from Clinton
will supply most of the patrons, No.

Mr. Dan. Glidden, Jr., has been

three years, taking over these dut-

it cattle sooner than was expected, al-
most an unheard-of thing for a de-

he did. In the _earlier days of his
service, too, there was no stove in
the little station house and, if the
train happened to be late, he and
passengers, if there happened to .be,
