Low yields mean high production costs. Fertilizer on wheat produces more bitslteis and with the time of seeding fall wheat drawing near the matter of fertilizer requirements is a titiiely subject. There area number of factors that. must be considered which will nec- essarily have some bearing on the kind of fertilizer to apply. Every farm or field presents a problem and the following recommendations can be taken only in a general way. Since there is not a great deal of light sandy soil in your district only heavy'. sandy loanis to clay loams will be dealt with. Heavy Sandy Loams to Clay Loams. Fall Wheat not seeded to Clover. Mixture Rate per acre, lbs. 2-12-6 or 3-10-5 300-400 0-12-5 or 0-16-0 300-400 0-12-5 or 0-16-0 250-350. Without clover or manure in rotation Following clover or manure in rotation hollowing clover and Manure in rotation Fall Wheat seeded to Clover: Without clover or 2-12-5 or manure in rotation 3-10-5 300-400 Following clover or 0.18-5 or manure in rotation 0-14-6 300-400 Followieg clover and 0-12-5or tnariurea ;in rotation 0-14-6 300-400 Theserecommendations are based. on sevet'1 years' experimental work of the partment of Chemistry, O. A. C. It has been found that on land where clo'ers have not been included in the rot tion and where no manure has been pplied that a fertilizer such h as A 2 12- orA3-10- 3 will give very good results, It has also been, proven that application of at least 300 lbs. per acre ur even 400 lbs. pay on such soils as 'are likely to be lacking in a'rai.lable plant food. Phosphoric acid when applied in the form of acid phosphate will increase the yield of wheat. To give its best results it must be associated .with sufficient ni- trogen and an abundance of potash available to plants. Another factor equally important in winter wheat production is the pre- paration of the land. Since winter wheat requires about ten months from time of seeding to maturity .and is abject to varying weather conditions, it should not be expected to thrive on poorly prepared land. Sufficient cultivation should be given to dev- elop a seed -bed that is smooth, .mel- low, Loose on top and firm beneath. Care.in selection of seed grain will show results in the granary at har- vest time. Shrunken, light, weed in- fested seed is sure to produce a dis- appointing crop. If there is smut in the grain you are planinng to use for seed, treat it. The treatment for prevention of smut is simple, inex- pensive and effective. Department of Agriculture, Clinton, Ontario.

Clothes maths cause much damage to materials of animal origin, such as woollens, furs, hair, feathers, etc, and their ravages to articles of cloth- ing, upholstered furniture, pitons felts, carpets, : etc. are familiar to most house -wives, Damage by clothes moths iscaused by the feeding„ ac- tivities of the caterpillars of this in- sect, which are the young of the small winged moths that may be seen at times flying about the house. In a treatise on "Household Insects and. Their Control" by the Dominion En- tomologist and a member of his staff, it is stated that there are two species of .the .clothes' Moth known as the webbing clothes moth and 'thecase making variety. The adults of both species are small, having a wing spread of one-half inch or less. They are similar in general appearance and habits but differ 'slightly in color, the webbing species being entirely pale buff, and the case making species grayish -yellow with inconspicuous dark spots on the forewings. These insects. are most active during the, spring and summer months. This publication, Bulletin No. 112 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, describes fully the habits of these and many' other household insects. It is recommended for preventing damage to clothing to avoid leaving such articles as' are likely to be at- tacked undisturbed for long periods, Particularly during the summer mon- ths in such places as cupboards, trunks, attics, etc. Such articles, af- ter being thoroughly brushed and bea- ten, ,preferably in strong sunlight, should be placed in well -made trunks or chests with tightly fitting lids, or enclosed in cotton or paper bags or in cardboard paper boxes sealed with p per strips. Wrapping clothing' in two thicknesses of Strong paper, 'taking care to see that the edges are turned so that no moths may gain entrance, is also recommended by the authors of this bulletin as an alternative mea sore. A good repellant of the clothes moth is fresh naphthalene flakes scattered among the garments when they are put away. Clear instructions are also given in the bulletin for pro- tecting piano felting, upholstered fur- niture and other' goods liable to be damaged. ,Issued by the Director of Publicity, Dominion Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa.

Small and unimportant when, Christ t0aught in the synagogue there, Nazareth went. through many vicissitude.

The dcctor hrn acceptrd it in the name of the Lab- rador deep-sea fishermen The Maraval was designee by a Boston naval arohiteet, John G. Al- den. The i\Iaravai Is ketch rig;red, 75 feet long, 16% feet beam and draws seven feet of water. She has a sixty- horsepower ixtyhorsepower engine and can make eight miles an hour. Electrically lighten, and she has an electric wind- lass. The ship is built for rough seas. steel plates at the bow and a hull of double oak. Her forecastle will have space .for four berths. Opening into the galley is a stateroom commodious for such a ship. In her hold there is room for a cargo of supplies. Along. the coast are many stations where the visits of this fine modern ship will be welcome. The Maravel is to be used as a mobile hospital in emergencies. Her deckhouse con',ains a small lt.os- pital. While Dr. Grenfell was 111 inthe west recently Ire wrote to the Len- a -Hand Society suggesting that thr` Maravel should have a dispensary, No sooner said than done. The money was raised in Boston. And so the Maravel is fully equipped to aid the families of the fishermen not only of Labrador but of northern Newfound- land.
