Outside the eye and the ear were appealed to by the booming of: cannon, the Royal Canad- ian Dragoons in their gay uniforms, with their prancing steeds and clank- ing sabres, inside was an assemblage of ec- clesiastical, judicial and educational dignitaries, and many other notables, While the whole scene was beautified by the presence of many splendidly attired ladies, a goodly number of whom 'were in evening dress, For a full description of the latter read the great Edmund Burke's immortal es- say on "The Sublime and Beautiful," His Majesty's representative, Lieu- tettant-Governor Cockshutt, wore a• resplendent uniform.

But 'with those people the writer begs entirely to dis- agree. The functions of the Legisla- ture are of such immense and vital im- portance to the people of this Prov- ince that the entering of the Legisla- tors on the performance of those functions, ought to be marked by the most impressive ceremonies. We say "impressive ceremonies,'t that is cere- tnonies that will impress the legisla- tors themselves, as well as the people at large, with the importance of the making of laws and the enactment of measures that are intended for the ptiblic good. ood. There are certain solemn contracts, engagements and duties in life, our entering upon which should be mark- ed in the most impressive way. Mar- riage ought to be impressively sole emnized, as also the being sworn in to any important office. Think of Mr. Coolidge, on his be- coming President through the death of Mr. Harding, being sworn in as President by his father, an obscure' justice of the peace in a little .New England town.How much better and more impressive it would have been if with pomp and ceremony the had been sworn in by the Chief Justice at the nation's Capital.

The O.A.C. No. 1.11 variety of dead peas was originated at Guelph by creasing the Prussian Blue and. the White Wonder. It is a sine'', smooth, white pea of good quality and ap- pearance. Of ail the leading varieties of field peas tested at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, the O.A.C. No. 181 has given the highest average yield of grain per acre, In the past five years' results, the first, second, third and fifth highest yields were produced' by new varieties' originated at the Col- lege through olIegethrough dross-fertilii tion In the tests with other varieties, the 0.A.C. No. 181 was early, reaching maturity in 99 days, and the straw was the freest from blight and grew to an average length of 45 lnehes. The peas gave an average weight of 62.8 pounds per measured bushel, This new variety of field peas was successfully tested' in the co-opera- tive experiments on fifty farms throughout Ontario in the past two years. The ;following was the aver- age yield in bushels per acre per annum of each .of the tour varieties tested In this way by the practical growers: O.A.C.

Why Nut Trees Should be Plantod. Most people who are interested ill the welfare of the country realize that trees generally should be plant- ed in much greater numbers, and some believe that it would be desir- able to plant trees that serve a three- fold purpose of food, shelter and beauty. Nut trees yield a valuable food, provide shelter • and beautify the landscape, and thus combine beauty with utility. Large quantities of nuts are imported eyery;year front foreign countries, for which- a, great deal of money has to be Sent out .01 the country. Itis believed that a portion of this demand Lor nuts could be met by; growing a greater number. of the bast types of native and.intl'oduced, sPectos.. , Whore •Nut. Trees Might -be Used to ,Advitutage.. . (1) . AS 'itoi2deld0'and` Street Trees: Where the soli arid the,site are .suit- able, nut„trees'shostlal form a part of,. the scheme et beautifying our high- ways and streets. • (2) ;Trees for the Home Grounds: The grounds surrounding many 02 our homes, bobs rural and .urban, would bemore beautiful and produc- tive if- planted with some of the host types of native and. exotic nut trees. (8) Steep Hillsides or Other. Places: Areas not easily or profitably cull.1vated could be very well devoted to nut trues provided the soil was suitable. • (4) As Park Trees City and rural parks should certainly have a collec- tion of native nut. trees and some of the hardiest and hest exotic species. (5) As a Commercial Venture: in the warmest part of the Province of Ontario it might pay t0 establish, on* a small scale, commercial plantations of the best varieties or black walnut, Japanese walnuts, hickories, blight- resistant chestnuts, and filberts. Kind of Nut Trees to Plant. Nut trees, like fruit trees are fir- licult.to grow true to typo .Irma mead, au.l hence have to be propagated by budding or grafting. While it ;s quite true that one nnay get a very good tree by planting nuts Prom a desirable tree, it is also true that a considerable proportion of the trees -so produced will net be any better or as good as their parent. Because of this uncertainty it is much better to plant budded orgrefted trees of su- perior named varieties. Inasmuch as nut, growing is a con- paratively recent development,' our Ontario nurserY mon • have not de- voted much attention to the propaga- tion of named varieties of nut -trees. There is some inti, .st being shown at present, however, and It is hoped that before long there will be a fair- supply airsupply of the best varieties of native and foreign nut trees available In the meantime those who desire to secure named varleties of out trees will have to place :their orders with nut nurserymen In .the United States. Nut 'Trees May be Top -grafted. -" Should the prospective out cultur- lat not be able to'o'btatn at a moder-, ate figure budded 'or grafted stock of unproved vedettes of nuts then; of course, the onlyy' thing tb do is to grow seedling troea, As previously stated, some of these may produce very good netts. If superior trees are found in any lot grown from seed, or if an exceptional fine na- tive tree is known to exist, such trees are 'useful as a source of scions' for improving trees that are not So de- sirable. It is a feet, though not gen- erally known, "that nut trees may be top -grafted like fruit trees.,This task is not as easy to accompish as is the case in fruit trees, but 15 pro- per methods' are -followed, very good results may be obtained.—Jas.

The writer of ,the Star Article is one who has taken att-active interest in the social affairs of Toronto, and asserts that at a dance not long ago he counted 100 out 170. young women who smoked. They'woal-d impudently blow smoke into their partner's faces as they:danced with them. Smoking among -the younger smart set has be- come as common as to be almost past comment. In addition to cigarette smoking at the society -hone parties by young ladies< and their immodest dress and the familiarity and recklessness be- tween the sexes, it is quite customary for young men to carry flasks of liquor and, it is not uncommon for these scions of -wealthy fathers to make others uncomfortable by. be- coming intoxicated. A lot of blame for' the bad manners of the younger set is to he attributed to the hostesses who haven't enough personality and force of character to put their foot down on unbecoming conduct and tnaice it impossible for the guests to turn a parlor into a smoking room. For what is a fine per- son m• a beauteous face, unless de - pertinent gives them decent grace. Idleness is at the bottoms of most of this revelry ort the part of the smart set, It always has been and always will be the holiday for fools. 'So long as idleness is.shut out from our lives all the sins of wantonness, softness, and effeminancy are pre- vented and there is but little room for temptation. Large cities accum- ulate wealth which brings idlesness 10 its train and then there is et decline in family morals just as there 'was a decline and fall of the Roman Em- pire from immorality. It isn't very many generations from the homes of idleness to the slums. These wealthy heads of large financial institutions and big corporations are often not as happy in their palatial residences sur- rounded by all the comforts wealth can secure, as the mien and women who can enjoy a night's -refreshing rest after a day of toil, instead of be- ing roused from their slumbers as, rich men often are by the home -com- ing of prodigal sons or wayward dau- ghters who, turn day into night and night into day: The really big men at• the head of big things: 'to -day that count are not giving wet -dinner dances on the Lord's Day and -danc- ing all over the graves of tiieir godly forbears.
