As a consequence there is a new smile a- broad on the fifth floor of the build- ing, where their rooms are located, and there is eonsiderably bore optim- ism about the meetings of the Agri- culture Committee. The Justice De- partment' hap ruled that by concur= rent legisla'ti'on between the Ih,nrinion and Provincial parliaments, there can be a compu'lsoty Wheat Board form- ed, and the farmers are very hopeful that in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta they could get such legisla- tion through without any difficulty. The Justice Department ruling ha}s cleared the air to a great extent and has given the Committee an inkling of what it may work for again. For the last week or so the Committee has been simply stableing blindly in the dark in the hope ,that its work would lead to a say of light some- where. There -'will, of course, be many further meetings of the Com- mittee before anything definite comes out of it, but a report asking for con- current legislation would appear most likely at the present moment. • The .Public Accounts Committee, through the medium of which members of the House are occasionally able to resurrect scandals and discover if and how the public funds have been dis- sipated, has started work for'the ses- sion and there is a, motion on the order paper to refer the Auditor Gen- eral'•s Account and the Public Ac- counts to the Committee. That will mean that there will be much delving into the 'financial wanderings of the lately defunct Meighen administration, and some of the inv,•<;.igations may even go further back than the date of Mr. Meighen's acces-fan to oliice. Some lively and interesting ses=ions ought to result. St. Joseph's School of Music Re -Opened. 5t: Joseph's School of Music re -opened on Monday, April 24th.

The bringing on the resolution for the formation of a Committee to study freight rates and try to bring about •a reduction, started a somewhat acid and lengthy debate in the House on Thursday of last week. There had been indications of the form which that debate would tale for the past week or so, so the !louse was not taken by surprise. Rebate of this motion had been e.et for Tuesday of 'this week, .but on flee day the Prime Minister gave notice :'hat it was pro- posed to defer debate on the matter until Thursday, so Mr Meighen was happy in that he had two extra day; to prepare for the ma•'er. There was of course, the charge that the Gov- it exemplifies that the Canadian Bank eminent was taking the matter of of Commerce is more than simply a adjudication of freight rates out of great institution, taking in and pay - the hands of the Railoay Commission, ing out dollars and cents, dealing in which was the bods competent to promissory notes, hills of exchange, drafts, cheques. money orders; etc. It has its humane side, exercising justice which is a masculine attribute, and sympathy which is feminine. This fart raises it above the plane of be- ing neuter—an inanimate thing; and from it would emanate the spirit to round out more fully the information contained in Volume 1. A striking feature in connection with the succinct biographies is the many different birth places mention- ed, and the various vacations pur- suaxt by the fathers. The birthplaces are not only hem and there through- out Canada, Newfoundland, United States. England, freland, Scotland and Wales, but even in such far -away places as India, China and Australia Among the fat'hors named are farm - ere, tailors, lawyers, engineers, lum- ber merebants, stock brokers, Justiees of the Peace, ,pattern designers, vic- ars and so en. And the sons of these varied types of men were they who enlisted frim the Bank and who later experienced the horrors of "No Man's land, the wild inferno created by shrkek'eng shelf. •the pain and merci- Ieen schrapnel, the dread of spnttenin.; machine guns, the nerve-racking crunch of tanks, tie, suffering from cold, hunger, thirst and --what not.? Through records like tinnse compiled by the Bank, readers feel a personal knowledge of the soldiers who passed through the throes of ,all this; like- wise, they may visualize again many far off places of gallant acts and tragic scenes. The book contains 498 pages, in- cluding many special features. There is a facsimile of the King's letter to wounded Canadians, the Will of Hon- our, elph.nbet.ically arranged, of those Who made the supreme 'sscriflce, 255 in ell; also a list of names of those to whom .honors were awarded. These include every kind of British Military ail .present and the Government was given the absolute support of its fol- lowing, not only on the militia esti- mates, but also on the other 'matters which had been brought before Parlia- ment. There Huy be some reductions in the amounts to be voted but they will not be in ai'l the total reduction suggested in Major Power's motion. • The budget is likely to come down within .the next week, it would ap- pear. The Minister of Finance, of course, keeping his own counsel in the matter, and bas not yet made any announcement, but it is generally ex- pected x.pected that it will come down very shortly. Mr. Fielding has been ab- sent from the House a couple of days, and in that trine was presumably put- ting thefinishing touches on his work. • . . A movement toward speeding up the work of Parliament has come with the Government's motion to take over Mondays and Wednesdays for Gov- ernment business on the order paper, leaving only Friday for private mem- bers' day. There are yet a flock of resolutions standing on the order pap- er in .the names of private members. and from the look of things it would seem likely that there will be some of them still there when the House prorogues. Several of them were cleared away this week on Monday and Wednesday, but some of them placed there will take at least a day each, and with only one day a week for them, it is hardly likely that the slate can be cleaned before the final drop of the curtain. •. • The House is working along slow- ly and evenly. Now and then there is a ripple of excitement as the ses- sion continues, bet for the .lost part the House 'has been in committee on estimates and while the Committee mill grinds slowly, it grinds exceed- ingly small •at times, and particularly when dealing with a lot of little local expenditures. Private members' reso- le' ons produce a lot of talk and little action and there have been a lot of them disposed of during the week. With the bringing down of the budget the really hard slugging of the ses- sion will be under way, then it will be a 'matter of looking forward and counting the days until there is a prospect of the end coming within the range of vision. honor, which are illustrated, likew1de of manure lass a double value in that. many of these of allied countries. •whute # Itimulate tits growth of cion Other jlluetratiens of merit are the er the 'pasture, -it keeps Ale Oai*1s memorial plaque, th@ map depicting off while the grass is getting a now start.

This means that, in spring plowing at least, manure should not be plowed under too deep- ly in heavy lands, as this will exclude the air and prevent fermentation. . It was once commonly .believed that barnyard manure is a complete fertil- izer balanced •properly to meat every - requirement of crop growth. We now know that manure is deficient in phosphorus and that very profitable results can be obtained, by spreading phosphate fertilizer along with the manure, Wbere a farm is very heavily manured with barnyard man- ure alone a condition is frequently reached where the grain does not ma- ture properly nor do the heads fill as they should.

It will likewise go down through the years as lasting testi- mony of .the Bank's deep interest, concern and pride in the part enacted by its soldier ' lads in the world's greatest struggle for democracy. RE HAYFIELD HARBOR Dear Expositor: In an article, which appeared in the London Advertiser, it is reported that Mr. Black, the Farmer Govern- ment Official for South Huron, visit- ed our town on a recent Sunday for the purpose of receiving an education as to the necessary harbor repairs, and as I am Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, I am sorry to think that such an official should be re- ported the first to violate the Act with Sunday business. Mr. Black was not invited' here, ,and we ask Mr. Black to kindly attend to his own affairs which are not in connection with the Bayfield harbor. The Lib- erals will attend to this in good time and if Mr. Black interfers with the harbor in future be shall be obliged to defend himself before the K. C. at Goderich, as the harbor is private property, and this notice maybe re- garded as final. LEWIS THOMSON. • POINTERS ON MANURING Plowing under a heavy application of coarse manure in the spring is apt to do more harm than good. The' layer of strawy manure dries out quickly and stops the flow of capillary moisture from the sub -soil to the sur- face, where are most of the feeding roots of the crop. If the year hap- pens to be a dry one, therefore, the crop will be drought stricken, and, with capillary ,moisture shut off, will not make as good growth as land not manured at all. A better plan is to scatter the coarse manure on the plowed land and merely disc it in. The manure, being at the surface, will then tend to conserve soil moisture. The rankest growing crops make the best use of manure. In the first class anust come hoe crops and there is no place where manure will'yield larger returns than on corn or roots. Second in this classification, comes the new seeding of clover. An appli- cation of even three or four loads of manure to the acre during the fall and winter will greatly increase the yield fclover and .therefore, • ail in- n gre Y crease the amount of nitrogen that AN APPRECIATION the clover crop is able to draw from the air and add to the fertility of the The Canadian Bank of Commerce's sail.

Readers of ter results by spreading the manure Volume 1 naturally desire to know thinly over a large area of new clover something about the earlier life of than by spreading it more thickly on the persons whose letters appear the hoe crop. therein.

Furthermore, nn the lest fertile parts of the field. This conclusion justifies the common practice of manuring only the less fertile parts of the field when 'there is not enough to cover it all. Top dressing pasture is a practice seldom followed in this country. A light 'application on the thin spots of the pasture, preferably with the ma- nure spreader, is an excellent way of disposing of summer manure that would Ince much of its fertilizing value through fermentation, if allow- ed to stand till fall. The application handle such matter-. The Govern- ment replied that the Committee was required in view of the expiry of the suspension of the Crows Nest agreement with the C.P:R. in July and that this agreement was beyond the .purview of the Commission. During the week the House enjoyed the unusual specie, a of seeing a member of the Opp ition rise to de- fend the Government against what he considered an abaci, from one of its own members. Gen .1. A. Clark, Conservative memh,•r for Burrard,rose on a motion to go in' supply to state that the Governm• o should oppose the Power motion reduce the drill item in Militia Es : nates, and inci- dentally to praise t Government by saying that it hal '.sen wise in cut- ting the Militia e. •enditure to the point where tt had i•••en cut and that the amount as set h'. the Government should be carried ',ugh the House.

Subsequently the Power motion was discussed in the Government caucus. which was held or Wednesday and the Government's stand on the mat- ter was ,placed frankly before the members.
