Borden declined to ac- cept the split opinion, deciding an election must be held, Meanwhile the franchise in 'Dominion elections had been :extended to, women. A union government had 'been mooted: for months with the Conserv- atives divided on the project. )In May, 11117, Borden conferred with Laurier. Meanwhile, a conscroiptihn bill had been introduced in the House, Can- ada's first erperirnent with the draft, Alt 'the conference with Laurier on 'May 29, Borden told hint frankly his fears for the future efficiency of the Canadian corps without adequate re- placements, He invited' Latu•ier to join in a union government of equal membership with Borden as prettier, Laurier hesitated, insisting con- scription should not be passed with- out a mandate from the people, pre- ferably through a general election. l• He took two or three days to thitik `it aver. Borden next proposed to Dim to forst the anion government and pass the conscription law, staking it oper- ative only if the new government were sustained at the polls, Again -Laurier took a couple of days to think it over and then, in Borden's word ",aid he could not enter a gov- ernment which would enforce com- pulsory military service," Negotiations with. Laurier ended ;Tune 6 with the 'Li'beral leader op- posed to compulsory conscription by any government. Although Laurier was opposed, a wing of his party was agreeable to entering a union govern- ment and enforcing conscription. Borden decided to enter an agree- ment with the Liberal wing, offering equal representation in the- cabinet with Conservatives. This caused al- most open rebellion ancon, Conserv- t ative members and Borden threatened to resin at a caucus. Again his re- sugnatian was declined and union government was formed: Borden's union ,government was re turned overwhelmingly in '114117, th 'Khaki 'Election." The draft law went int>.operation, providina' 63,3155 of the 5^i',54l11 Canainans under color;, The war ,ended in November, '1'918 and Borden', task was nearly com- pleted. 1-Ic attended the paste confer- ence in Paris and from tlta very first insisted that Canada shouldsiert the treaty and become a full menn!ter of the League of Nations. It was Bor- den the student of constitutional de- velopment, who insisted that Canada be recognized as•an individual nation; a nation strong enough to ,fight, a na- tion strong; enough to compete in world trade. in'g left -over asparagus.

SWINE BREEDERS MEET AT STRATFORD Over eighty swine breeders and in- terested farmers attended the York- shire Field Day and Sale, which was held on the Agricultural Grounds, Stratford, on Friday, ,Julie lllllth. This gathering was sponsored by the Stratford (District Advanced Registry Yorkshire Club, of which Mr, W. L. Whyte, Seaforth, is president. 'First !tem on t'he afternoon's pro- t;ramute was a judging competition in which approximately 'fifty farmers placed a class of four market hogs, and estimated the weight of each ani- ma;. Mr. Freak Wright, Rtippen, was the winner of this contest, followed by W. McNaught, \Vett Monkton, Howard Thine, Wellwood 'Farm, London, Clarence Itines, St. .Pauls and 'George e W. Flood, West Monk - too, in the order named. This cont- oetit!on was conducted day sir. R. :H. Graham, of the ,Ontario Live Stock 11 ranch, Mfr. W. 1', Watson, Live Stork Branch, 'Toronto, gave an address on "Yorkshire Breed Type" and in de- monstrating proper type he referred to the boar which W. L. • Whyte is using in his herd at the present time. One of the high lights of the pro- gramme was an address by tDr, Lionel Stevenson of the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, who spoke on S'w'ine Diseases and nutritional troubles. Dr. Stevenson dealt with a number .of the diseases which may cause heavy mor- tality in young pigs, and very strong- ly +brought out the point that sani- tation was of utmost importance in controlling 'and keeping' free of dis- ease, 'The audience was quite interest-, ed int this address as evidenced by a period of discussion following Dr. •Stevenson's talk. \IY, H. C. Duff, Dominion Swine Grader of Stratford, gave a demon- stration on grading; hog carcasses on the rail and Mr. Hooter ,M[aybee, Di- rector of Hoe Grading Inc Ontario, gave a short address in which he dis- eussed market trends in hog prices during the past twelve months. The last item on the programme was a sale of eight bred Yorkshire silts and four boars consigned by Perth and Huron County 'breeders, All animals in the sale were backed by advanced registry ancestry, and had been carefully selected by a rep- resentative of the Ontario •Live Stook Branch. The eight sows netted an av- erage of $312:715 and the Four boars av- eraged $217 each. These animals were sold to buyers: from Seaforth, Walton, Elmira. Acton, Mossley, 5t, Marys and Stratford. CONSTITUTION OF WHEAT Ontario Agricultural College invest- igations indicate that there must be more than 80 parts per million or 11160 pounds per acre (plow .depth) of sol- uble .phosphoric acid in a soil if it is to produce a reasonably good crop of wheat. III there is more than this, the yield will; be higher and the quality of the ,grain will be 'better. Phosphorus, or, phosphoric acid, gives the crop power to make root, and abundant root system means that the wheat crop is equipped to make ntaxinmn, use of the plantfood in the soil, Many !Ontario soils are; running short of available phosphoric acid. At least three things have' caused this shortage,— ,I1!. Heavy grain crops that have been harvested year by year, longer than you can remember, have drawn heav- ily upon the supply of available phos- phates in the soil, Some manure may have ,been returned to the soil but manure is relatively weak in phos- phates, because 'farm animals take this element h-.otn their feed to build bane, muscle, anis blood. 2. Soils that are becoming acid in reaction—or sour—lack line which soluble phosphates may combine till called upon by crops. Soluble phos- phates on acid soils tend to forst combinations with iron and alumin- ium. The product of such combina- tions is of very little or no use to growing crops, 3. Sometimes very 'heavy applica- tions of lime on soils cause soluble forms of phosphol-ous to change: to insoluble -forms. Best conditions for wheat are,ob- tained when soils are neutral to slight- ly acid in reaction. While phosphoric acid is so' widely 'needed for Ontario grain crops, it is not the only .plantfood that is requir ed, Where lop growth is short and spinally, and pale ;green in color, there it usually a shortage of nitre - gee. Nitrogen snakes top growth or straw. Manure is high in nitrogen— hence stakes heavy cep rrnwtlt. If the growth of top i- ,lost, spind- ly, and shiny pale green in color, there is an indication of potash short- age. IPota.lt influence; the health and strength of the crop, and determines the fillin•, of the kernel of wheat or other grain. ,Abundance of potash mean; well-filled grain. Not notch can he done to improve the l'9317 grain crop at -tlti stage, - but a great deal of help can be given the fall wheat crop you sow next August or Septenrber. If you have a good supply of manure for the wheat field of LW3(7-313, supplement it with 2510 lbs. of Superphosphate per acre. On lighter soils the same amount of 0-12- 6 or 0-1112-110 would pay you fietfer. If :manure is scarce, use two or three (bags of 12-112.6 or 2411646 on heav- ier .soils, or 241E-110 on lighter soils. The additional nitrogen and potash not only give better growth to the wheat which enables it to survive hard weather conditions, but this add- ed fertility gives definite help to the :tend of alfalfa or other legumes you SOW of t the wheat next spring. The constitution of this year's wheat crop gives you very definite line of what to Me for next autumn's .seeding. HIGHWAY SERVICE STATION .As you speed along the highway in your car, on that long -contemplat- ed trip, 2x7 you ever experience any curiosity regarding the inmates of those little wayside service ;stations that pip up like an oasis iu the de ert, just when the car needs replen- ishing with gas or water, and pop or ice cream would he very welcome to its passengers? .During some of the long trips I have had, I have wonder- ed 'how ,such people found 11fe, little thinking that .T should ever have the chance of discovering by 'first hand experience. If you- are interested in lhuman nature, and have 'a sense of humor, running a filling station is one of the most interesting occupa- tions available. There is always the variety of passing traffic to Interest one, and life is never monotonous, for even on the dullest clays, there are sure to be •a few ,excitinginci- alents, The day of .a ,filling ,station prop- rietor may start any time aftermid- night. It is not at all unusual to hear a horn honk raucously in front ,of that station and a voice call strident- ly: "Hullo this place! Can I get some gas?" Or perhaps it is heavy footsteps On the platform and a thunderous 'knock at the door. In this case the car has probably run out of gas somewhere along the road and"theshiver wants to get some in a can to carry back to it. 'Or he may have a 'flat Mire and want to borrow a jack or buy a 'pat- ching outtfit. ,If it is gasoline the alight visitor wants, he inay take one gal - len, three or five but whatever the amount the sante procedure has to he 'gone through, that is, the pump unlocked and 'filled up, a tedious per- formance. If he takes some gasoline away in a can, we have to stay up un- til he returns the can and—we hope --gets more put int his car.
