It does seem early to start and plan for the gatden for the summer, but Spring will be' -upon us one of these days. The officers of the Horticultur- al Society, while the weather was be- low the zero mark, were planning their campaign and are now rcady with an offer to members that is most attractive. On another page of this issue is a list of the premiums for thisyear. Choose your premium to- day and beprepared when you are canvassed or better still, see one of the officers of the society and ioin at once. A home which is surrounded' by beautiful shrubs and flowers is not on- ly a credit to the individual, but to the town, Most every person here is fond of their gardens and give them great attention and to a great extent the local Horticultural Society is re- sponsible for such a splendid "ocndi_ tion. But there is one thing we all roust remember—that the Society ran not continue to give such wonderful premiums unless they have n large membership. In Many' . town:,, the Horticultural Societies have ceas:_d.to exist' and you can do your, share in keeping the local society active and in a healthy position by being' a mem- bee. Choose your premium 'to -clay and. enroll at once. * * *, * THEY GROW THEIR OWN Iti many, towns and cities in On- tario last year vegetables seed; were supplied to the unemployed 'and the land supplied on which these people could grow their own vegetables.

In this sense, the use of the term implies the canint.unication or t=aft r of disease by a living agent or disease germ. Disease germs are so small as to be -invisible to the naked eye. Thrti the microscope, many of them ::an be seen and identified, but soi'ree of there are too small for even the most pow- erful microscope to 'magnify,, suffic- iently to allow of their being seen, Outside of the body, disease germs clo no harm. They. rnttst first gain entrance to the. body, and this they do in one of three ways. They may be breathed in, or swallowed, or they may enterthrough a break in the Skin: Because they are so minute, the break in the skin need only be of mic- roscopic size' to allow germs to pene- trate.. 'As far as we know, disease ,germs do not grow and multiply in, nature outside of the human or animal body. Some of thein are hardier or more resistant than others, but they do, in general, die fairly quickly outside of the human .,or animal body. Like plants, germs require moisture to live; drying, especially in the sunshine, de - strays them. The in1portant practical point is that, in Most instances, dis- ease germs are Spread direct by the fresh, germ -laden secretions of the sick person. There is danger in she 'use'of ar- ticles reeently soiled, by secretions. The col iinon drinking -cup is a real inenace, because there is not time for the geniis deposited in the saliva of one user to die before the cup is plac- ed to the lips of another, and so the saliva of the -first passes into the month of the second, carrying any disease germs which the saliva may have Contained: Nevertheless, our real danger lies in 'the coughs, sneez- es and loud talking which throw par- ticles from the inouth and nose into the faces of those around. If you uW ant to appreciate this clan- ger, stand in front 'of a clean mirror:; Cough, sneeze and talk at the mirror; then observe the deposit of drop;tete on its surface.

Many feet you throw these droplets; in this Way, you have a practical dentonstra tion -of what the uncovered sneeie or. coaugh means to thosewho came with-. in the range of droplet fire. When the germs gain entrance to .our bodies and establish themselves, we become infected. When eve' begin to pass the germs out, we are infect -- ions.

Dustan, Do- minion Entomological. Branch. In- sects, according to the type of injury they do, can be divided into two gen- eral classes; those .known as biting insects, which in feeding actually bite a piece'out of the plant attacked, and those known as sucking insects, which suck the juices out of ,the leaves or stems without noticeably changing their, outline. For biting insects '(cat- er pillars, cutworms, , etc.) three pois- ons are commonly recommended, ar- senate ctf lead, arsenate of lime, and Paris green. Stieking insects (aphids, plant bugs, leafho11ers, etc.) are cus- tomarily controlled by nicotine .sulph- ate, either in liquid ors dust forma.

The compe titian for land in Australia is between enterprises (such as wheat -farming, dairying, and sheep- ranching) rather than between crops, Farni Trucks and Autos The introduction of the tractor some twenty odd years ago marked the beginning -of the period of most rapid expansion in size of, farads, par- ticularly' on the plains of the 'West where such power could be used to advantage, In1921 there were 47,455 tractors on farms and 105,269 in,1931, Along with this increase in use of tractors came increased dependence upon trucks and automobiles. In 1921 and there were' 157,022. such vehicles con the 711,090 farms, 'or. about one to every four farms. In 1931 with trucks to be recorded separately at 48,402, , and aetmobiles' numbering 321,2,76, there was a motor vehicle for every two farms.

Raspberry Plantations 1''ltere Manure is not applied ,to raspberry.plantations until the spring a: cover crop -is also advisable to pre vent too late growth of cane. As the advent of mosiac disease is making: it ad-visable to renew plantations more frequently, the grower who is unable to get large quantities of manure will find that shorter rotation lends itself more to the cover crop and mulch syeteni, for each new plantation May be preceded for a season by a crctli' of clover of alsike which; when turn- ed over, will leave the soil in excel lent condition for the new plantation. This method of renewal, say every six. years, with proper green manuring, cover crop or rissah , and adequate quantite "'of ceinteir'eial fertilizers.; still render it possible • for raspberry growing to take its place beside or charding, it being more or less Inde pendent' of the failing and "increasing- ex ensive supply of manure.—Rasp- p p berry bulletin, Dominion Department of Agriculture.
