yet somehow the sight drove me wild!"

Immigration and
Colonitation
The most important problem which,
is continually discussed in our news•
papers is thq,populatian Question. It
is, as exponents of the matter have
pronounced it, "a many-sided and con-
tentious problem." No matter, how-
ever, what differences of opinion may
exist as to how the problem should bg
handled one can never lose sight of
the fact -the fundamental fact—that
Canada eventually must have many
times the population that it now has.
Immigration. and colonization have,.
after all, made the Dominion what it
is today. Without it the natural re-
sources and possibilities of Canada
would remain unrealized.
Immigration regulations are to -day
framed in such a way as chiefly to
promote agricultural settlement. It
has been said that to build'a nation of
diversified interests on a 'sound basis
is to build on as Nide au agricultural
foundation as possible. Agriculture
has, of course, always been the pion-
eering work of a new country. But
with the amazing natural resources
tha Canada possesses -forests, mines,
water power, flsheries and the rest,
her manufacturing activities have in-
creased so rapidly that, while the ag-
ricultural foundation must ever con-
tinue to be broadened, there is every
reason to believe that the industrial
lite of Canada will continue to steadi-
ly grow. The growth of industry de-
pends, of course, upon the securing of:
capital '
A few months ago, Dr. Leacock, of
McGill, said to a visitor deeply inter-
ested in the progress of Canada:
"It is not possible to doubt that
Canada is destined to go forward
economically at least as fast in the
future as we have in the past: The
measure of what we -are going to do
le what we have already done. It is
inconceivable that it Is all over. In
the fifty years which I can personally
remember in this country, cities of
fifty and thousand people have grown
to great metropolitan centres running
toward a million inhabitants. Is it
finished? The empty prairie, the ob-
ject of the first emigration, of the
seventies and the eighties, that now
counts its people in millions and its
wealth in billions—surely this move-
ment is not done and over. We must
look at the Iarger landscape, not at
the single disappointment. Every-
where there are found people who do
not or cannot make their way in life.
We must not judge from them, •
"Nor must we judge the Canada of
to -day as merely a country of farms
and agriculture. Already our mineral
industry rivals the produce of our
fields! To -morrow we dray exceed it
"in my opinion "here is every econ-
omic indication of au era of prosperity
ie Canada unrivalled even in the past.

Move the Vegetable Garden
One would not think of growing
wheat on the same land year after '
year, but in too many cases the garden
is located in the same spot indefinite'.
ly and what is more serious there is,
little attempt to move the vegetables`
around from year to year ill' this
space. In the country there Is more
chance of moving the vegetable gar-
den from one place to another and if
ibis can be done it is a good plan as
then there is no chance of the soil
becoming depleted But even in the
smallest garden it is advisable and
Possible to rotate the vegetables. One •
vegetable grown in exactly the same
location each year will exhaust the
particular fertilizer that that vege-
table requires and you may also fill
the soil full of disease. Then, too,
leguminous crops, like beans and peas
t which actually ad fertilizer to the
soil, must be sowed around so that
the whole garden will benefit. Such
crops will help to compensate for the
heavy feeders like corn, beets and
carrots. It will soon be time to tbink
of getting the first vegetables in.
Hardy sorts, such as radish, lettuce,
spinach and even carrots, beets and

just as soon as the soil is ready for
cultivation. Sometimes tris may 00 -
cur for a few clays in March or April,
although the average date of seeding
in most parts of Ontario is far later.
than this. The gardener Is not ad-
vised to risk his whole vegetable crop
on the first seeding but it is well
worth 'while to put in a few rows of
theearliest vegetables Just assoon as'
possible. After all, the investment in
time and seeds is negligible while ex-
tra early vegetables are worth abou
ten times as much as those that come
in the regular season, To force these
as well as the general crop along it is
well to apply some quickly available
fertilizer.
Instructions For Making the Lawn
1n making the lawn it is vitally Mir
portant to get the soil In proper con-
dition
dition before the grass seed is sown.
It Is a fairly simple matter to make
the ground level before the seed i8
sown, but after that the job is ono
which requires years of patient work.
Make sure that the surface Is level.
The easiest way to do this is to di
well, preferably of course in the fall,
but it is too late now for that. Clear
out everything in the way of stones,
sticks and roots and rake level, Now,
Iet the soil get a chance to settle; she.
rains will do this and a late frost will
help, Rake level again and repeat
two or three times. This may take a
'week or two but 1t is well worth while.
In fact, unless one is in a great hurry,
it is best to put the space set aside
for the lawn in some cultivated crop
like potatoes fora **on in order td
have the earth seine properly. When
everything is ready, -select the very •
hest seed obtainable. This is another
very important point. Lawn seed can
bs secured at moo which vary wide-
