The varieties that are best adapted accordi'tng to the Dominion Horticul- turist, are Grand Rapids and Iceberg lettuce; King of Denmark and Prin- cess Juliana spinach; Chihli and Pet- sai Chinese cabbage, and Scarlet Tur- nip, White or Scarlet Globe radish, .Should the soil he quite dry it itn- ,portant to open tite drills and if irri- gation is available apply -sufficient water to moisten, the soil, and as ,OLID as the land has dried so as to no; be sticley, the seeding should he done. Suggestions in Preparing Sheaves for Competition an connection with sheaves for competition, J. A. Carroll, superinten- dent of Agricultural Societies, says that, in the first place, consideration should he given to competition rules covering sizes of sheaf, etc. A mini- mum of eight inches in diameter means at least this measurement at the cotter binder. IFreedoit from disease and blem- ishes is essential and only heads true to variety should be chosen. Some ex- hibitors cut a number of sheaves in a good part of the field and from these make a selection. A much better way is to choose individual stalks • front landing grain. This ntnty be done by walking in from the stu'b'ble when. cutting is in progress, Plants should be cut close to the ground with a pair of scissors. When two or three times the am- ount required for a sheaf has been collected it should be placed on a rack or table to dry, protected from the weather, particularly rant or dew. A few boards on tressels in a loft or drive' shed should be suitable, 31 ,pieta of cheesecloth or other light material spread over the heads should afford protection front'birds, Every straw its an exhibition sheaf should be stripped of leaves or flags. This may be done by taking a small handful of .10 or 50 at a time. Its this process .any diseased or faulty speci- mens should be rejected. The round form desired may be achieved moat easily by fine use of a mould of some :kind; Some exhibitors use three hoops nailed to a bar and eft open at the tap ,for the entrance 'f straws. These hob,ps should be coir- iderably'larger than the size required or a bowrd sheaf. ,The next step is to place binders nd' .draw tightly after whic'lt a sharp rife should he used to even off the ;At squarely. Any: straws which may real., leaping the heads having clown ay be removed ,with scissors, Rib ants for decorative purposes ,may be defect A box or crate of light but strong aerials should be ,macre and ly ,procicled with hinged i pr's'fet-' S lid. Asuit- le size, For wheat woo Id be 116 inches y 116 inches by 6 feet, Oats watfld quire a larger crate, probably 18 rhes by '516 inches by 6 feet, while aborter box would do tar barley to liar should be placed inside to sup. rt the head end of the sheaf,
