PARLIAMENTARY LETTER
Ottawa, April 28th.. --,The resolution
of A. R. McMaster, (Blame) which
would make it obligatory, upon any-
one accepting a cabinet portfolio that
he first give up all his directkisbips,
in 'private corporations, met with de-
feat in the Howie on Monday after
it bad been debated for the better
part of the day's witting. Mr. Mc-
Master had 'resurrected his bill from
last year, when it ago met defeat,
and on Monday it went down by 142
to 59. Mr. McMaster alone from the
Liberal benches supported it, and he
had the Progressives behind him. The
Conservatives voted behind Mr. King
and the Government in .opposing the
motion.
The Prime Minister summed up his
position in the matter by declaring
that "au long as the motion was cal-
culated to have the effect of giving
the public a greater sense of security
in the administnation. of the day, I
am certainly in hearts accord with
my Hon, fniend. But so far as .his
notion is calculated to create in the
minds of the people a distrust in or
suspicion of the government, when
there is no just oause'or good reason
for such distrust or euapacion, 1 am
entirely opposed .to the motion." Mr.
King dealt with an acceptance of a
portfolio by Sir Lamer Couin." Had
I, regardless of their ;diatinetioa and
public service, sought to impose upon
Hon. gentlemen coming into .the cab-
inet, restrictions of various kinds, I
might have succeeded in effecting a
mediocre administration; I certainly
would not have the privilege of being
surrounded to -day by the gentlemen
df distinction and eminence who sit
in the cabinet. As between myself
and iny colleague, and between the
Government and the country, the re-
lationship I wish to have maintained
is that of "trust me all in all, or
not at all." That is the attitude I
bold towards every member of the
Government .anci t is the attitude I
believe which everyMember of the
Government hold toward myself.
While we began with confidence in each
other's integrity, I rimy say that at
this moment that confidence has rip-
ened into implicit trust. In as much
as support of .my Hon. friend's mo-
tion would seem to make it neces-
sary for me to reflect•upon the honor
and integrity of any Hon. gentleman
associated with me in the cabinet, 1
must absolutely decline .to vote for
it."
The 'Conservative attitude was that
Mr. King had changed his ground
since last year, when, as leader of
the Opposition, he supported,the Mc-
Master motion. The Caneervatives,
however, supported the Government
against the motion and the Progres-
sives voted with Mr. McMaster.
The situation in regard to the di-
vision was intereating, but it was
only one of the interesiing votes
which must follow the attempt of
any government to administer affairs
with such a slim majer.ty actually
behind 41 in the Common,.
Another interesting development of
the week, and which had not been
finaaly disposed of at the time of
writing, was the motion of C. C.
Power, Liberal member for Quebec.
South, to reduce an item of $1,400,000
in the Militia estimates for annual
drill, by $1,100,000. This means in-
evitably the spectacle of ,sine of the
Liberal .members voting against their
own Government on esHriates, and
also of members on the ether side of
the House supporting the Government
in passing its own estimates. The
vote, it would appear, e..11 probably
be fairly close Whenever it does
come, for it is expected that most of
the ,progressives will vet, for the re-
duotion, but on the oth. r hand, that
the Conservatives will support the
Government. Mr. Power gave three
reasons, based on recent uttelances
from all sides of the chamber. First,
he said, Canada had net the money
to spend on military traming; sgeond,
the training which could be given in
the course of a week's drill would be
useless to .the men; and thirdly, there
was no necessity for it ander present
conditions. Carriage of the resolu-
tion would mean, of couoe, that no
training camps would b. "alien during
this' summer at all.

Tommy Church, who Ippeared to

bate on the Internatiee.,. waterways
scheme and, being ire, Toronto, of
course was an aelycx,it of carrying
nut the plan at once. Mr. Church
led the speaking but tl.me were the
usual pros and cons in h., wake. The
situation in Canada is eeielt the same
as in the United Stat where the
residents of those seri who fear
harm from the propeed scheme are
against it while thos, who are at
present not in ocean pert areas are
favorable. Montreal ant Quebec, for
instance, would probol.,y prefer to
have the scheme forge''en, while on
the other hand, Toro, 'e and other
lake ports would like le get a slice

plan might give 11 to Phone Ilut,

ago and that suspension endo on
July itt.h next. In the meantime the
queetion of lower rates on all the
railways is tied up with the question
of w'hether or not that suspension
shall be allowed to lapse. If not,
then it means that the railways must
carry a number of commodities at a
loss between east and west. On the
other hand, if the suspension is con-
tinued there is a prospect that the
railway's would be willing to accept
reductions on many other basic
commodities to balance the matter.
The Committee vrill have to thresh
out the whole question when it meets.

The Agriculture Committee i s
working along somewhat blindly at
present. The members of the com-
mittee have generally giveu. up hope
of a compulsory Wheat Board, but
they continue to examine witnesses
as to marketing conditions. The
witnesses according to their particu-
lar lines of business are either for
or against a Wheat Board, so that
when a man's occupation is •announe-
ed to the Committee it is easy to
forecast what his evidence will be.
The western farmer members, how-
ever, continue to stress the pointthat
the farmer is robbed all along the
line in the marketing of his crop, and
if they do not succeed in getting a
wheat board they are at least trying
to have their case placid, before the
people so that marketirlg conditions
may be somewhat improved.

The shell shipments which came in-
to Canada just previous to the elec-
tion last fall have been cleared up
to some extent in the debate on
militia estimates. After it was al]
over there remained the fact that
Canada had paid for transportation
and storage of huge quantities of
munitions which it was not expected
that she would ever use•, and that
these shells will ultimately have to
he dumped into the ocean or some-
thing like that, to get rid of them.
Hon. Hugh Guthrie did his best as
an "explainer" by telling the House
that the Shells in question had cost
Canada nothing since they were tak-
en nut of the general pool. But he
admitted that Canada got credits for
the shells she did ‘iot draw out of
this pool. There was, he said, only
one day's supply of munitions in the
consignments received but there was
little likeli.hood that these would be
used before they became useless
"duds." The shell shipments in
common with other warlike things,
were not very 'popular with the House
when they were aired, and the pro-
test of the Prime Minister was
agreed to be pretty well justified by
the time Mr. Guthrie had finished
talking.
• • •
There are prospects that son.:e
dhanges may be made in the Militia
estimates before they finally go
through the House -end, that change,
it is new believed, is likely to be
leached by agreement rather than hy
direct votes for reductions. Appar-
ently the Government is willing
niake some reduction, and the amount
of the cuts will probably be worked
out during the next few days.

Regarding the sawing of the seed,
one must be careful to regulate the
depth in accordance with the season
of the year. During the early part'
of the season, shallow planting is es•
senile' to quick germination, but as
the season advances and the eoil be-.
comes warmed to a greater depth, it
will be found like:wary to increase
the depth in the ground to which the
seed is placed, bearing in mind, of
course, that large and small seeds
must .be planted in depth ih accord-
ance with their size.
Whether the garden be large or
small. the ambition of every gardener
should be to obtain the moat from the
.given area. . This can be done by a
ayiftem of double cropping, or catch
cropping, using such quick maturing
crops as radish and lettuce. The
early maturing crops are sown be-
tween the rows of cabbage, cauli-
flower, tomates and potatoes, or as
markers in the rows with the seed of
slaw germinating sorts such as pars-
nips or beets, and are ready for use
and gone before *e standard crops
require the space for their develop-
ment.
A few suggestions regarding the
mode of procedure in connection with
the growing of successful crops might
not be amiss. In the first 'lace, let
us consider peas. The first early
sowing should be .made wing a
smooth seeded variety such as Alas-
ka or Early Morning Star. This type
of pea can be sown very early when
conditions for the wrinkled sorts
would be entirely undesirable. ItnlaY
be necessary to make a couple of
eowinge of the smooth sorts before
it would be possible to sow the
wrinkled peas. For the successional
sowings of a wrinkled variety, use
Thomas Lorton, this early sort has
been found very desirable and pos-
sesses all rotind good qualities. If,
however, a dwarf varieby is desired,
English Wonder is recommended, fol-
lowed by American Wonder. With
beans it has been found much better
to use some early sort such as Round
Pod Kidney Wax for a golden podded
sort, and Early Red Valentine if a
green podded variety is desired. Beans
cannot Inc planted very early, there-
fore, the range of the season is not
so great as in the case of the peas.
Other recommended varieties are:
Beet, Detroit Dark Red; Carrots,
Chantenay; Radish, Scarlet Turnip
White Tip; Lettuce, Grand Rapids.
Ail plants that are to be trans-
planted, should be hardened off well
in a cold frame prior to planting in
the open. Select only the stockiest,
well -grown plants. Choose a dull day
for planting or .the evening towards
sundown. In setting out all classes
of plants, it is very important that
the earth be firmly 'pressed about the
roots. If loose planting is practised,
the roots of the plants cannot form
proper contact with the soil to obtain
plant food and moisture.
Avoid crowded conditions in the
garden. While it is desired to crop
the land 'intensively, yet good nide:-
ment must be the guide in order to
prevent strangulation of one plant by
another or making conditions congen-
ial for the development of fungous
diseases.

that one needs to have a thorough
grasp of the proper procedure. The
first operation to he conducted when
weather conditions are right, is the
preparation of the soil. Where the
soil is of a sandy nature, there is
danevr of injuring its physical

texture, working while too moi:t. will
cause puddling whieh would tender
the soil lumpy for that season. Hew_
ever, ;the cultivation given tke gar-
dmi prior to sowing the seed should
inc thorough in every respect, because
upon this tillage will rlepend, to a
very great degree the success or
failure of the garden.
To obtain the maximum returns
from any 'garden, it is necessary to
employ successional sowings of such
crops as peas, beans, beets, cerrots,
radish and lettuee. The sowings
shrink' Inc regulated .atintervals of a
week or ten days apart so as to have
