Consnpt@on
The members of the two great par•
tine are pretty well in accord with Pre-
mier Borden's Consription Bill. There
will, no doubt , be differeucef of opinion
as to details, but as a whole it fits the
e ituation, and it is so 'recognized by the
leaders of thought in both the Liberals
and Conservativeorgauizationo, At the
momentwe need something like seventy
thousand reinforcements in France, and
by tho volunteer system there are
not sufficient man coming forward
daily to make up for the wastage at the
front, not to speak of filling the de-
pleted ranks.
This bill is going to bring about a
new political alignment, at least temp-
orarily. On the one baud will be Con-
scription Liberals and Conscription
Conservatives, and on the other the
kickers, made up chiefly from the
Province of Quebec French, and the
various Socialistic bodies, Of the
latter they are chiefly foreign born in
any event,.and no one is going to pay
muoh attention to them. Just...how.
strong and active the opposition of
Quebec to conscription will be remains
to be remains to be seers. It may all
pass ovete like a eummer showery an d
again, it may not, Here and there an
Englishapeaking member of Parliament
is expected to kick over the traces and
join the antis, These objectors+ are
:already out with their lune of argument
which consists in calling for a con-
scription of wealth. Tnie sounds well
but means little. What do these
people want conscripted, and how?

like other Socialistic arguments. if

From now on nntil the passage of
the Bill, argument and debate upon

Protection for . Crop
Crop protetion means crop produot-
ion. Canada loses over one hundred
million dollars worth of her staple crops
every year through the depredations of
insect poste. A large portion of this
Toes oonld be prevented, As we cannot
afford to lose the smallest portion of
ourgrain and other food crops during
the present critical period when the
produotion of food is of supreme im-
portance, the Dominion Department of
Agriculture is making every effort to
prevent, so far as possible, losses due to
ine_at pests. Crop protection must go
hand in hand with crop produotion,
Insect pests are not usually noticed
or reported until they have caused con-
siderable damage, Therefore it is urg-
ed that the closest watch be kept on all
crops for the, first appearance of any
insect .petits or damage. Immediately
such damage is observed steps ehould
be taken to control the outbreak in its
ncipient stage.. If the peat or method
of control is unknown specimens of the
insect and lte injuriee should be sent at
once to the nearest of the following ex
pert assistance; Tho Agricultural Col-
lege, the Provincial Departments of
Agriculture or their local District Re-
presentatives, the officer in charge of
the nearest Dominion Entomological
Station, or direct to the Dominion En
tomologiet, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa for examination; and advice in
regard to control measures will be
furnished without delay. Lettere and
packages up to ounces in weight may
be mailed to the Dominion Entomolog-
ist "Free" but postage will be required
on lettere and specimens sent to the
other sources of advice mentioned.
Do not delay reporting insect out-
breaks or sending inquiries; delay; may
involve serious loses that could others
wise be prevented, Write immediately
or telegraph if the outbreak is serioue

growth in yonng plants and good cul-
tivation are the best protective meas-
ures against insect attack, K ep all
