Closely- associated with the :devel- eon:rent- of gardening interest in Bri- tain is the growth of -the Royal Hort- iculural Society. Fellov,vsfain of the society nOw friends at close on 36,000. Fellowslank associates are spread throughout he world. Founded as far back as March 7, 1804, by a small body of men led by John Wedgewood, of the china and Pottery makers, the Society bad its inaugural meeting in Messrs. Hatch- ard's Boole Shop in- Piccadilly, Lon- don. The tablet ooenmemorating the foundation may -be seen- there to -day. The purpose of ,this sanannbody of men was "to collect -every informa-, non; respecting the culture and treat- ment.,..of all plants and trees, as well culinary as ornamental—to foster and encourage every branch of -horticule ture and all the arts connected with Some 700 to 800 affiliated' societies carry on the local horticultural inter- ests of their counties, towns or vil- lages, and to the Royal Horticultural Society they look for advice and help in matters -of organizatiou and emeribition. From Other Countries The Society in early years sent out expeditions in search of new plants. Perhaps one of the most famous col- -leen:es was James. ,Douglas, who brought to this country many of the pines and firs which are now com- monplace in our woods and gardens: Messrs. Parks and Reeves who went to Chine, brought over the first chine .anthemums, camellias, peonies and wistaria. In later days, Mr. Forrest brought -over many of the beautiful rock plants WhiCill are WV gown Ii Mere Moil, een 4me, lho Society is supporting expleorabern nenieditielle ho Cant -Ifeigdon Ward and others. - Fruits and Yegetahlesnha.Ve 'never been neglected, and the eeeend Preen dent of the Seiet, Thomas Andrew Knight, devoted himeelf to the eulti 'station of. frut.

The finkOne Icensingto, in 18-, was followed by tie aequisition of larger grounds at Chiswik, which 'were In the Possestelog, of the Society, up to the time wen it acuired, under a' trust deed, its present gardens at W'Ialley, near Ripley. At the gardene it has always been the object to d-emlonstrate, the high - eat class of cultivation, and also to try out new plants, in order to guide: peOple in:the choice of the best. Then there are the Kindred Socie- ties, ,wich specialize •in rhododeri- drams, dahlias, carnations, Sweet peas, chrysanthemums. There are working committees, consisting of the rere- sentatives of the Royal Horticultural Society and the Kindred Societies, called Joint Commttees, which select and adjudicate on new Planta and a- ward certificates aqcordingly." The next most important woek of the Society is its exhibitions. It is remarkable to think that practically ever since •its inception, throughout its career, with a few exception, meetings Lave been held every fort- night. Spring and Autumn • It was obvious that the fortnightly shows, which were on a modest scale, would not satisfy the horticultural world- and from time to time larger shows were h,eld, and slimmer shows, commencing in 1889, were held, in the Temple Gardens OD: the Embankment. In 1912, an international exhibition, Of which the Society was on n of the guarantors, was organized in the grounds, of the Royal Hospital, Chel- ea; and in 1913, the Society's -Chel- sea Flower Show was established and has been held regularly every year :Once. Its importance has now grown almost beyond the capabilities of the grounds available.

It was only on T.uesday than his bill prohibltiog entry of Japanese ird- migrautn was ‚ruled out of order. To- day he soughtnte "anply pregisely the seine objection. to a: Government bill dealing vith the railway. He claimed It to have the effect. This precipie tated a debate on the Rules of the House which lasted about a half hour: Mr. Neill tried to divide the House on the question, but there was not enough members supporting him to acdomplish that. A very heated discussion arose ov- er -a -statement made in the House last night ` by the .prime Minister when he referredeto the fact that in the present unsettled conditions of all nations it was very unwise ter news commentators speaking over the radio to attack the attitude and policies of other Governments, especially that of Great Britain'. Under present condi- tions—the Prime Minister stated that this was; not permitted over the Bri- tie•n Broadeasting Corporation. The 'statement of the Prime Minis- ter was very simple and only request. ed that these people using the radio snould not go farther than the peo- ple's representatives in Parliament.

A seoond big show in the year has been nein whenever possinle; and when the new ball veart built, it was thought that sufficient acoommoda- tion Would be available. This has proved, however, not to be the case, and the Society has to seek other ac- commodation for its autumn show. 1 his can only be obtained every: alter- nate year in the National Hall at 011mpia. Other activities are numerous. Con- ferences are regularly organized; and in the past few' years, there have been conferences on conifees, apples and pears, cherries and soft fruits, lilies, daffodils, and rock gardens and rock plantel—this last in, conjunction with th-e Alpine Garden Society. This year a conference on flowering trees and shrubs, other than rhododendrons was held at the end of April, , while the •organization is going forward for a eordernace on rhododendrons in 1939. At every fortnightly show, lectures by well-known horticulturists and na- tural scientists are held. A further activity is examination work, adapted for -gardeners and) for the teaching of gardeners. The National Diploma in Horticulture is given on examination, both theoretical and pra,ctioal, and is match sought after.

Last year the holiday traffic on our streets and highways ran up a terrible toll of seven killed and 215 injured in 145 accidents! We must not have a repetition this year. One thoughtless move on your part may bring tragedy into your own or somebody else'home. Before you take the wheel, therefore, resolve to use the utmost care on the highway, and to observe every traffic rule: —Drive at a 13afe speed at all times. —Keep to the right hand side of the road. —Never pass anothe; vehicle on a hill or curve, or any point where the view is obstructed. —Do not park on the highway. —Signal the car 'behind you in plenty of time before you i -urn. --Observe all road signs' and signals. —See that your car is in safe driving condition. . In the name of hthuanity drive safely on this, the first holiday of summer. Help make the highways safe for yourself and others. • Thursday, May, 12th The one thing that has stirred the Capital City of this country is the passing of Mildred Benn-ett, the wife of Hon. W. D. Herridge. 'Mrs. Her - ridge died in New York after a short illness. She Was a sister of Right Hon. R. B. Bennett and was closely associated with him in his campaign et 1930. She had a very charming personality and this city, with her husband and her brother, mourns the loss of one of its most distinguished citizens. In the House to -day the collection of radio license fees was the center of a vigorous oontroversy. Legisla- tion is bein-g considered to give more power to the collectors of license fees.. The Opposition led a vigorous attack on the legislation, but the ar- guments collapsed when the Minister held up the regulation adopted by the previous Government in 1932. Mr. Howe made the statement that rev- enues would drop by than if there were no authority to find out if peo- pe have radios. Alberta legislation noom.ed up in the early stages. The Government is being urged to do more disallowing - Hon. Mr. Lawson, brought the matter to the attention of the House. He Pointed out that if the legislation goes into effeot individuals and corporate creditors In all parr -1'n! Canada will have,their securities destroyed_ Simi- lar legislation in other Proviaces would entirely destroy the credit of Canada. The Social Credit group blame the Liberals for, disallowing other legiela ton, but they seem to overlook two fats: First, that it is the law itself which -does the disallowing, and sec- ond, that the Social Credit party gave their pledge and solemn word in the campaign of 1935 that no one would be injured by Social inredit policies. That appears to be another scrap of paper. The Divorce Dill received an- other petback in the Senate and it is now referred back to the committee for another revision In the Senate Railway Committee, the C.NR. completed its representa- tion and the C.P.R. wilt be heard next week.

HIGHWAYS. own internal troubles. Now the On- tario Conservative party is having a little row among themselves, but it will, no doubt, soon be straightened out again. The House Made some progress this week but not much. Some impatience is ddeplayed, but the reasons for the delay have often been explained—the trade agreements and the desire to inelude them. There are problems that are dis- turbing and one of the latest arises out of the denandis for disallowance of the latest bath Of Alberta legisla- tion. If the legislation stand, it will eeriously affect .all securities in that Province. The S. C. Party intend contesting every seat in Saskatchewan in the coming provincial election, and- the oulcm,e will be interesting to every citieen in Canada. SEEDING TIME Seeding time is here again and Spring gives hope of bountiful crops' for harvest next Fall. Much more than hope is required, however, to ob- tain big yields. Good seed is a first essential and the higher the fertility of the soil the better the crop will be. Experiments f o r generations have proven that it pays to use clean, pure and plump seed and that seed of eines- subject to seed -borne diseases such as cereal grams, peas, corn and some of the garden vegetables should he properly disinfected, otherwise dis- ease may take the crop. Most people who can efford to buy fertilizer are now applying them and when used reoperly they prove a good invest- ment.

Dodds KidneyPill • kj • s Friday, May 13th Today's session was enlivened by certain charges by Mr. Pelletier, S. C. member for Peace River. The Gov- ernment, for many years, owne& and operated a big marine plant at Sorel, Quebec. It was used to build dredges and also to rrpair snips and dredges and employed some 100 men. It was an expensive and costly system and last year the Government sold the works and pant of the equipment to a general dredging company. For some time runiours have been going around about a corning ventilation of this deal in Parliament, and to -day Mr. Pelle- tier brOught the matter to the atten- tion of the House,. The charge was made that this property and bhe fleet of dredges had been eold away below their value. Mr. Howe, the Minister, said, that if the membt4statements were true, he Weld n. 'He re- alized, 'however, dint Mr. Pelletier was a very young member and also a very ,gullible one, and that those who &had been advising him had him com- pletely bewildered, as to the financial statement ofthe ease. Then followed a lot of figures of the cost price, thoe valuation at the date of the inventory and the preeent-day valuation, along with deduction of equipment not sold. It worked out to this: That the 1936 valuation by the Auditor Geoeral of what was sold was $1,498,100, while the sale price six months later was $1,4094. , The Minister showed that the young member was not familiar withauditors' statements and bad drawn wrong conclusiorfs.
