with the business of having political
discussions run through their or-
ganization, and passed a resolution
containing the proper number - of
"whereas" paragraphs, and ending
up;
"Therrefors: be it resolved, that;
inthe interests of the sharehold-
ers of the Co -Operative Company,
and the farmers- of the province,.
the Board of Directors disapprove
of any further controversy as to
the proper course to take in
gard to political action,"
If the directors had wanted to
reach their shareholders first-hand
they should, have had their session
a few weeks ago and presented the
resolution' at the annual meeting,
which gave- a great deal more time
to political discussion' than it did
to the consideration of practical bus-
iness topics: '
J. 5, Morrison would, have a voice
in the 'framing of that resolution, and
yet he has been about as keen a poli•-
tician-in his way as any political par-
ty, old or new.
At best'it is a meaningless sort of
resolution, for the farmers' parliament
in Massey Hall affirmed the idea that
any U. F. O. organization was at li-
berty to put a candidate in the field,
and the membership will certainly ad-
here to that idea.
Or, perhaps, the resolution simply
means that the members spend too
much time talking politics when they
get 'together in annual sessions. If
that is the point in the resolution,
then it is perhaps quite near, a great
truth.
Talking politics is. a very good pas-
time when the day's workis done,
but it's a grand way to spoil a ses-
iion where people are gathered' to-
gether to get ahead with a business
idea. -Stratford Beacon -Herald.

STUDY
Where Certain 'Vegetation Or0a
Soil Ys Healthy.
In a new Country, says _Answer5o :,'
the settler is largely guided in
choosing a home by the trees or
plants he sees on the land lie IS in-
specting. Tor instance, in South Af-
rica no man in his senses would set-
tle near any spot where, the dreaded
fever -tree grows. This tree, with its
livid green trunk, is the most sinister
bit of vegetation imaginable, and e,o
one who knows the country would
camp for, a single night in its vicin-
ity, for it grows only in the most
fever -stricken localities.
4.11 over the world vegetation is a
guide to the soil. Wherever the rub-
ber -tree grows the settler must -take
his daily dose of quinine, The same
is true of cocoa country, but where
tea grows easily the soil is healthy.
Tobacco is another plant of
health, for it grows best on a thin,
sandy soil, and , must have good
drainage. You may get sunstroke in
a tobacco country, but you will not
get malaria.
In English papers which publish
advertisements of houses for sale you
will often see the words, "situatedin
pine and heather country." The true
pine does not grow in England, and
what is meant is the Scottish fir; but
it is a fact that where fir -trees grow
the soil is healthy for residents.
Gorse is another plant of good omen,
for it is a sign of dry, sandy, Well -
drained soil.
The shape of trees and the way
they grow tells you a great deal
about the soil. If oaks and beeches
shoot up straight, grow to a good
height, and are well phaped and pro -
Portioned, you mak be sure that the
soil is rich and deep. If they are,
stunted and gnarled, this indicates a
la er gf tough clay or rock at no
la
depth-below the surface. Such
d should be avoided. It is diffi-
cult to drain and usually damp in
winter.
The great heath beyond Poole, in
Dorsetshire, England, is largely un-
derlaid with a waterproof layer, and
there are huge areas in the American
States of Florida and Alabama which
are useless owing to the, "hard pan"
beneath the surface. • > The stunted
pine -trees' give sure warning of the
nature of the soil.
Of ordinary farm crops, oats and
barley will flourish only on well -
drained land, but wheat -will grow on
soil which is moister and perhaps
not so healthy. Root crops, such as
turnips, like moist land, while cab-
bages do best on. soil go rich and
coarse that it may be distinctly un-
healthy for human beings:

F., 0. Co -Operative Company Jack spent Christmas with Mr. attd
found it 'desirable to come to grips Mrs. John Beeeroft of E. Wawanosh.

blow to the cotton. industry, far the
cotton erop 'last season was well be-
low expectations. The insect which
brought, about a loss of over a mil-
lion bales in two months, and. which
has cost the cotton brokers on the
Liverpool and Manchester Cotton
Exchanges thousands of pounds, is
kno „n as. the boll weevil.
This insect has always been the
plague of. the cotton grower. There
are over 2,000 different species,
while 400' of its kind are to be found
in the British Isles. Last season
these rapacious insects have invaded
as many as eleven counties in Ten-
nessee, and from there they haste
spread over most of the cotton -grow-
ing districts of North Carolina, Ar-
kansas, Oklahoma, where the dam-
age to the cotton. crops was serious.
The weevil sets about its work of
destruction in deadly earnestness,
and no better example of one of its
favorite methods of working could be
given than the way one of the spe-
cies in England destroys filbert and
hazel nuts. In this hole the insect
deposits her egg. Once this is ac-
complished she sets about finding
fresh objects to attack.
The young nut continues to grow,
and as the shell becomes larger the
small hble made by the parent Insect
becomes almost obliterated, and the
progeny within is left to complete the
destruction of the kernel. In a simi-
lar, onatausq, , the boll weevil embeds
itself in the cotton flowers until the
destruction of the entire crop is al-
most certain. •
Science has advanced rather slow-
ly in the extermination of these
pests, upon which the livelihood of
thousands of cotton workers depends,
and no method of absolute exterm-
ination has yet been found.
