This is a question that "Var- sity" in a recent number, undertook to. answer and the investigation found a very: wide range of opinion amongst the different students. Some wealthy students, and some who like to pose as wealthy, spend rather freely, and the cost to them is mucic greater than it is to the young man. or woman who is neither weal- thy nor desires to be classed as such. The facts recorded refer to the lat- ter class entirely. In the Dental faculty, and tuition fee is higher than in the other faculties, reaching $225. while instruments and books run an- other $160, or $335 for these things alone. In Medicine, the fees are somewhat smaller but the term is two weeks longer, while the Science stud- ent's term is five weeks -longerthan the .,Dentals. Counting fees, lustros -merits, books, lodging, laundry, clothes and incidentals Varsity decid- ed that the minimum for Dentistry would be close to $1,000 a year, for Medicine $820,. Science $750, and Arts $700; ora. hill course for Dent- stry would cost $4000, for Medicine (six years", $4,860; Science, $3,000 and Arts, $2,800,' Even this is consider- ably cheaper, we understand, than at some of the targe United States uni- versities. Of course, there • are al- ways ways of lessening the cost in the Buying of second-hand books, in the forming of eating clubs and in other ways, „so that even."today the student without much money but a stiff-backhone and a will to work can make his way through college de- spite his poverty. This year there are 2.219 students in Arts; 988 m Medicine; 743' in Applied Science; 208 in College of Education: 52 in Forest- ry; 22 in Music; 34 in Social Servide -old ' 45 in Public Nursing. a total of 1619. without counting the students In Dentistry 'and .Agriculture, HARLOCK.

Army Worm. Description and Life History—l'otson• ed Salt Recommended - Keep Live Stock Out of the Fietcl—Saiz the Fleas—Fewer Cattle shipped. (Contributed by Ontarle Department of. Agriculture," Toronto.) In July last reports appeared in the press of an outbreak of Army Worms in two or three counties of the Province, and that theinsects were beginning to do damage to some. of the field crops. . These sections were visited by representatives of the Dominion and . Provincial Entomo- logical departments,and it was dis- covered that the insect was not the Army Worm but a common cut -worm known as the Spotted Cut -worm.: In order that this pestmay be recognized and controlled should it appear next season, the following in- formation is given: Life History. The spotted eut-worm winters over In the ground as a small brown or blackish larva from 14to about 3/, of an ,inch 'in length. In May and early June this cut -worm attacks the crops sown in the field where it win- tered. In Juneit is full grown and pupates in the soil. Towards the end of the month the moths appear and lay the eggs for the brood which is now causing trouble. in about two weeks or about the 10th of August nearly all the larvae of this brood will be full grown and will have ceas- ed feeding. They will then pupate In the ground and the moths will emerge in September and will lay their eggs throughout any weedy places. From these eggs will come the overwinter- fag larvae referred to above. Description. The moths are a dull brown color with a wing expanse of about an inch and a quarter. They fly around only at night or late in the evening. The full grown cut -worms or larvae are about 11,6 inches long, stout, smooth and of a brownish or ofteu blackish color with several black spots on the back; most conspicuous towards the rear end. There is a whitish or light colored line running along each side just below the brown color of the back. The head is brown. This insect can readily be brought under control by the nee of poison.' How to Control the Attack. In the evening about sunset Y, sowing seed scat- ter ter thiol as if s win grain, the following poison bait wherever the cut -worms are present, and slab along the margin of crops nearly that are to be protected:. • Bran, 36 lbs. Paris green (or white arsenic), 1 lb. Molasses, th gal. Lemons or oranges, 2 fruits. Water, about 2 gals. Mix the bran and the poison very thoroughly. in a tub 'or any large receptacle, using either the hands or a dung fork for the purpose. Pour the molasses into the water, run the lemons or orange through a meat chopper, and throw both the juice and the pulp Into the water. 'Then stir this thoroughly. Next pour the liquid over the poison bran and mix so thoroughly that it will fall through the fingers readily. The above amount is sufficient for one acre. Keep Lice Stock Out of Reach.. Take precautions that no stock gets access to the mixture before it la applied, and even after applying it is wise, to keep the stock out of the field for four or live days, though there is no much danger of their be- ing poisoned if the above directions are followed carefully.—L. Caesar, O. A. College, Guelph. Salt the Fleas. The best means of controlling Seas in most instances is very simple. Fleas usually originate in the base- ment of the house, or in some covered place such as woodsheds and stables, to which hogs, dogs, or other such animals have access. The remedy is to give the basement, shed, or other breeding place a thorough cleaning, burn the litter, and then sprinkle the floor or ground : in the building or shed with common salt. The salt should be sprinkled thickly enough almost to cover the ground and should then be wet down with water. it should not be wet sufficiently to cause it to run, however. If there are about the place any houses, cribs, or the like built on, piles so that hogs and. other animals can go under them, salt should be applied there, Generally speaking, it is fairly easy to determine Where the fleas orig- inate,'and it is usually such a place as can be reached by the salt treat- ment. It may be necessary to repeat the operation two or three times at about three-day intervals. Fewer Cattle Shipped. A total of 21,530 head of cattle were shipped from the port of Mont. real during the past season of nava. gation, as compared with 31,217 head for the season 1921, a decrease of 9,687 head, Of the above total shipped in 1922 there were 71165 head from the United States, 80 that the total number of Canadian cattle that went forward to the British markets from this point was only 13,915 head, There was no export business done in sheep duringthe past season, while during the pre- ceeding year shipments amounted la 4,064 head. It Is surprising how far the table scraps, and scattered grain will go to- ward maintaining the hens. There Is little excuse for any one using a grads, or scrub hull when: 11 is so easy to, secure a -cure-bred. N AV 910 ABL., LOSSEF How Farm Land 'Deterior'ates iii Necessary Mineral Stipp -les. What One Steer Takes, Front the Land w•- Sotne Don't Like to Believe It—Tltese Losses !Must Be Replaced—Meat 'Grade. Rados al heavy Weights. (Contributed by Or Otto cepattment of Agrlcul tulle Toronto./ , With the exception ofnitrogen our agricultural investigators have failed to and any means by which they could add to nature's supply of plant food in the soil except by transfer 6f miuergls rteb in fertilizing propar- tiesfrom rich deposits to the cul- tivated areas,.. Cultivated lands will gradually loss their mineral,elemeats, pu'ticularly,,.phasphorous and potash, through crop production. The return of all manure made from the Grope produced delays the day of exhaus- tion, but exhaustion will eventually come more quickly by some prac- tices than others it is true, and the man that, follows live stock farming while not returning all to the soil can greatly delay the day of reduced fertility and short crops. What One Steer Takes Frotn the Land. Every time a 1,000-pbundfat steer is sent to market "15.51 pounds of phosphorous pent oxide, 1.76 pounds of potash, and 17.92 pounds of cal - cium goes with him. .A one hundred acre farm sending twenty 1,000 - pound steers to market each year is sending incorporated in their bodies, prof potash, 1n the bones, 358.40 pounds 20 of unds flime, 310.20 pounds of phosphorous. If the farm did this continuously for one hundred years—some of our On- tario farm lands have been farmed that long—the amount of fertilizing elements subtracted from the original stock in the soil Is such as to greatly limit crop production. It the crops from which the steers had been made had been sold off the land the fer- tilising elements or stock of plant food in the soil would have given out many years.800ner. Many Farmers Don't Like to Be- lieve It. Many of our farmers do not like to think that the fertility of their lands is running down, and will argue against their own conscience, and finally develop a state of mind which prevents theist from returning to the soli sufficient mineral elements to maintain the necessary balance in soil fertility that insures crop yields equal to the yields characteristic to q virgin soils, On certain good farms in southern Ontaribwith which I am familiar I estimate \that the mineral fertility mining, during the past seventy-five years Inas, under the gen- erally accepted good management, been approximately as follows . per acre:- Phosphorous removed, ,489 pounds; potassium removed, 2,491 pounds; calcium removed, 1,059 pounds; of these quantities probably fifty per cent, was returned in the manures through periodical applica- tions: The unreturned aggregate 244.5 pounds of phosphorous, 1,245,5 pounds of potaseium and 629.6 pounds of calcium represents approx- imately what each acre of farm land has lost. Is it any wonder, then, that the crop yields have been greatly re- duced in many of the olden sections of the Province? These Losses Must Be Replaced. To bring the old soils back 10 maximum production one : of the things we must do is to replace in quantity to satisfy crop demands, the potash, phosphorous and lime. These elements are essential, and must be present in available condition and in quantity. The best farmed soils will gradually lose fertility if something is not done toward the replacing of the mineral elements removed in crops and sold off the farm either as grain, beef or milk.—L. Stevenson, Toronto. Meat Trade Balks at Heavy, Weights. "The day of the heavy weight has passed," says E. F. Perrin of the ani- mal husbandry divisions of the lint- versity of Minnesota in referring to -conditions and demands of the meal trade. "Light weights are easily dis- posed of, while heavy carcasses are hard to move. Overweight lambs have long been heavily penalized in price when sent to market, and the same condition prevails with hogs and cattle. It does not pay any meat producer to market, more weight than is necessary in getting his stock in fairly web fattened eonditon. Only. about 15 per cent, of the market de- mand is for steers weighing more than 1,300 pounds. And to sell well these must be good to choice beeves offered during the holiday season. Yearlings weighing 900 to 1,100 pounds, often termed baby beef, are the desired kind, and more recently 650 to. 800 pound weights are in strong demand, "A three dollar spread between prices for butcher hogs and smooth heavy sows frequently prevailed on the South St. Paul market last sum mer. No one can escape the verdict that lard is unwanted in these days of common use of vegetable oils and compounds. "OE course a reasonable degree of finish is necessary to make any car- cass o1 meat tender. and Tuley. Thin animals, no matter how well bred, make unpalatable tough meat. But it is a mistake to market nowadays an overfat or heavy meat animal, be- canetheconsuming public does not Want that kind of goods," egg is 65.7 An per cent. n . tyater.

Mr. J, B.

Mr. Bowes has made a life-long study of the question and claims to have arrived at his re- sults after a careful computation. According to Mr. Bowes, the last of January and until after •the middle of February will be mild, March will come in like a lion but after the first week will turn and stay very mild. According to. Mr. Bowes, April will not be a pleasant month and in the early part of May one may be advised to keep one's furs from the cold stor- age. The latter part of the month is to be hot and dry.Tpllowed by a hot and dry June. July and August are to be cold with heavy' raitis, and October with lots of rain and possibly frost on.Augtlst 7th. Early September is to be codl with heavy rains, and October will bring frost,and.show. Early No- vember will be mild. with frost and snow about the 22nd. December is to be mild lip to.the last week and Janu- ary and February of 1924 are to be de- cidedly mild. Mr. Bowes' predictions follow:., February.—Very mild, with a cold and stormy week about the 22nd. March.—First week cold and unset- tled. Balance. of the month very mild. April.—First few days mild. About April 7th, very cold and high winds, probably snow in many localities. Ba- lance of month quite cold and unset- tled. MAY—First week has a very de- cided turn of cold, rains and frosts. and with decidedly strong winds and every chance for a genuine snow storm. Latter part of the month •des- perately warm and dry. JUNE—Very warm . and desperate- ly dry,• Rains about the 22nd. JULY—Very warm and lower teme perature. ' JULY—Lower temperature than av- erage, Very unsettled, Heavy rains. AUGUST — Lower than average temperature. Heavy rain and a prob- abie.frost about the 7th. Last Week rain, SEPTEMBER -First half of the month very cold with heavy rains; also frosts about the 10th. Balance of the month average temperature and rain falls. OCTOBER ---Forepart quite. mild. Very strong winds and heavy rains, frost and ,probably snow about the 22nd. • DECEMBER -Very mild until the last week. then Auite stormy. TANUARlY, 1924—Very decidedly mild, FEBRUARY. 1924= -Very mild. Continuing, Mr. Bowes says: "My opinion is that grain that is not sown early or at least before the first week in May this year will hot be worth. sowing as heat and drought of the last half of May and two-thirds of .June will he- so- severe."
