Pickands Brings 400,00 Bushels Corn With the arrival of the' steamer Colonel James Pickands, the total of export 'corn shipments to this port passed the two-,- illi'onhushol mark in only 10 days. The Pickands arrived on Monday close on the heels of the J. P. Reiss and the Chas•. S. Hebard, and bore the largest cargo so far cif the huge export shipment going through the ,elevabor here. The Pick - ands, one of the larger Great Lakes steamers, measures 585 feet and brought in 400,000 bushels of corn from Chicago. It was not a capacity load. Work began on the transfer from ship to rail at 7 a.m. Wednes- day and will be concluded this after- noon, with men w:ork'ing day and night. The Pickands is in c'lrarge of Captain Sydney H.

FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE A thorough spring cleanup, to re- move all possible sources of plant dis- eases, is one of the fleet practical measures to perform. By this is meant destruction of diseased plant material or debris' which would other- wise permit the production and spread of disease -producing .germs or spores. This procedure is especially 'significant to those who realize theft young and 'tender plants ane .highly susceptable-to attack; for once spring growth begins the benefits of this important practice are greatly reduc- ed.

Fun- damentally, they are best suited to cottage interiors, but they can • be adapted, to period bedrooms of a so- phisticated type by the use of stitch- es that imitate the patterns in the upholstery or drapery fabrics of the Lime. Worked out, moreover, in stripes, blocks or small, detached `}oral motifs and in the vigorous calor tharmonies of the moment, they will be nicely assimilated into the More intimate rooms •of a home doue in the modern style. These adapta- tions are interesting to invent or to copy from the pattern books. More and more as our lives are faire •with 'objects' produced by ma- chines and it quantity, we feel the reed for adce'ssories that are indi- vidualized. This need is ,causing a renaissance of handcrafts and among them crocheting is reassuming au importance which for a time it re- linquished. It is possible to produce many effects with crochet stitches, which are legion, and the work has the advantage over knitting °of being safely laid down at any point, and of never showing the disastrous dropped stitclh,e's which pursue• the ef- forts of an amateur knitter. Yarns are lovelier today, than ever before and more diversified in color, so that when one sits on the seofa, clad in a Gibson, girl shirt waist, and devotes oneself to a "quaint" occup- ation whish was a favorite in that period, one can still be' proud of be- ing modern and possessing such a is attacked by first disposing of gamut of tones and so many facilities blighted tubers which might later •be l in working out harmonies more com- xsed for seed, only to result in a plea,: 'than were known in the 1890's. -poor start or even an outbreak of this disease in the field- Black eg, anectrer tuber rotting disease, is very appreciably controlled by sanitation in the storage basement and further Te�luced by seed treatment. The ques- tion as to what important diseases •should be considered when planning the season's campaign of preventa- tive measures, will of course be de- cided very largely by the nature of the crops and their location through,- rout Canada, whether they be fruit, 'grains or vegetables.. In all cases it •would be strongly advisable to confer with the nearest plant pathologist, -who :s acquainted with, and can give advice on the most up-to-date control. measures against plant diseases. in the carne of fruit diseases time- ly spraying is of great importance, but first it is necessary to obtain and study a copy of the approved spray- ing schedule for your particular dis- trict. By adhering to its recommen- dations and by properly timing spray applications the results should be satisfactory. The fruit trees Should Ore pruned before spraying is begun. Then there is the matter of recon- ditioning the spray outfit to insure quick and thorough work, repacking the pump, attacihin.g a new hose, or - replacing defective nozzles, etc. Such matters as'these go far toward& the efi'ectiivenesa of control methods, and me apply equally to the capai'gn against nate blight of potatoes; not forgetting the importance of putting on all ap- plications regularly, according to the schedule accepted for your district. The time is now opportune to con - eider seed grain treatment and to make plans accordingly. Seed treat- ment is recommended not only for smut prevention. but it affords pro- ' tection against such seed borne dis- eases as leaf blotch of -oats and net blotch of barley. The loose smuts of wheat and barley,ibowever, require treatmept by hot water employed in conjunction with the establishment of an isolated seed plot as a source of disease-free seed for the following year.

CT HAI TON,rom. _ _._. rt; r +, There is an interesting story in the way that a group of New York city women turned a need' for char- ity into a business which actually pays piofits---in the form of checks to other philanthropic fund's•. About nine years ago changing times and a changing neighborhood lea' to the moving away of• a settle- ment house located in the east 70's. There was no longer widespread need in the immediate neighborhood but there was concentrated need xm•ong s'ome of the families who had previously been aided. Inthis emergency a committee of women, headed by Mrs'. Sidney Her- rmann, became active. The women were determined that charity in mos cases, was more harmful than helpful. They decided to undertake an experiment. The remaining• needy families in the. district were organ- ized boxes and 'materials for cover- ing were purchased and the families set to work. As a convenient center for their activities the women were given an empty store. The whole affair was a friendly oue. The boxes were ue,eful and attractive. Passersby were at- tracted and presently there was a good street trade in addition to or- ders which the women . took among their own acquaintances. Then one of the committee- mem- bers had another idea• She had been searching unsuccessfully for t h e type of maid's uniforms she wanted. 'She decided that it would be a good thing to buy a basic dress and set the good seamstresses on ,the shop list to making smart aprons, collars and cuffs. So there 'were devised ac• ocedilon pleated aprons, together v ith hand -embroidered surplice col- lars andi cuffs. These sold rapidly, so the dress itself was added to the Shop's list of mekh'andis'e. When one s'h'op was rented there always was a generous landlord ready tali donate another empty store. But after all, patrons do not like fol- lowing a shop around on too frequent migrations, so permanent headquar- ters were established and many new lines added to thge stock -for sale. From the beginning the committee has adhered strictly to its policy of not soliciting money, but purchase - era; and not giving charity, but Work. And +from the beginning the business policy has been successful, so successful that not along does the shop, make work for the unemployed in its own neighborhood, it also pays salaries to three workers in the shofis, gives three soholarstdps an- nually to youn people wth,o other- wise would have( to leave s'eheol to get work, and sends checks to other philanthropic institutions and funds in the 'ci'ty.

Building Up The Rock Garden Any one who plans to start a rock garden would do well to visit a few in the neighborhood, the larger 'ones as well as the smaller. Look for those .which have a natural appear- ance with a subordination of the rocks to the plants'. Do not get the idea that the rocks should be few and far between, for the most suc- cessful rock gairdens are those whose stones are thickly placed. The site may not have any stones to start with' and probably it 'has a growth of grass' and weeds. It will be necessary to dig up the grase and remove as many of the weed roots as possible. Then begin at the bottom and put a row of stones; be sure not to set them too regularly, and vary the size as much as possible. It will be neceseary to have some soil ready to fill in behind the stones. This soil mixture can be composed of about one-third peat moss, one-third sand and onethird good soil from the sur- face of the vegetable garden, for in- stan•ce. If the soil is heavy put in more sand and peat moss in propor- tion tb the am.bunt of soil. After the first layer of stones has been filled in with dirt the neat layer of stones may be put on and filled in as before. Be sure to press the soil firmly, so that there will be no air tholes around the stones as these air holes will cause the plant roots to dry out. Continue to put rows of stones and to fill in with dirt until the top of the slope is reached,. A great deal of taste may be displayed in arranging the rocks, so that the effect will look as natural as if the) stones had been left there by the last glacier- Avoid standing stones on edge; a stone always looks best if it is set with broadest base down, so that it will appear firm. There' is a very wide choice of plants which may be grown in a rock garden- Only the dwarfer plants, not more than one foot tall, should be planted among the, stones, for if larger plants are put in it, will make the pile of stones look significant. These larger plants may be used on the back slope of the garden, and do not forget to include some of the dwarf shrubs like Mahonda, the brooms, Mugho pines and dwarf jun- ipers. These will show prettily be- hind the stones, and fill in between the shrubs in the background and the true alpine plants in front. Lists of suitable plants may be secured from nursery firms which offer them for sale. tawa Wednesday, May 25th A development of the day ,around Parliament was ,the authorative in timetion that- it is hoped to get through the session by July Yls•t, I it cannot be concludted by then, and the prospects are not prodrdsd'ng, th. idea is to' adjourn: and come back later. The Government does not plan this, but' the) fact .its (tiiiat the Govern, ment has waited patiently for the completion of the new trade agree- ments and are particularly anxious to have' it included in the Budget. Mean'w'hile, the Government is hop- ing that adjournment will not be nec- essary. , This matter is embarrassing to the Government, as business generally watiid like to know what the new agreements will contain. Down i.o Nova Spatia there is a real row on and the two Halifax membersarethe center of it. It is an old argument over the issues of licenses to beam trawlers which scoop up, fish by the tan and whose opera- tions are 'held to affect the shone fish- ermen who get out in motor boats or dories.- Those who favor the trawl- ers' license claim that it does not op- erate at all where the shore fisher- men do, and that therefore it has no effect, as they are not permitted) to Sell fish wihere,bhe fishermaen do. This is denied by the' fishermen, hence the row every year. Today 11. Finn de- sired to present a petition containing some 1,500 'names opposing the issue of the license' for travelers. For some days the McMeana divorce bill from the Senate has been on the order paper of the House waiting a sponsor. It was like Japhet, looking for a father- It was hoped by many it would not find one. Today Mr. Woodsworth, C.C.F-„ agreed to take on the paternity, a sort of a god- father. This is the bill which en- larges the ground for divorce, to in- cludecruelty and desertion, etc., sim- ply open), g the door for more and more �.'orce proceeding's in our Dour It ' -as Mr- Woodsworth's bill some years ago that made it possible to have divorce counts in Ontario. The last- year that Parliament dealt with the divorces from Ontario the number was about 200; last year it was one short of 600, and so the farce goes on. It is generally thought that this bill will not carry in, the House: it had a bare four of a majority in the Sen- ate. The Senate Committee dealing with the railway situation, showed signs of splitting yesterday on the question of unification. This is an important question and the sittings of the com- mittee are crowded with spectators. Controlling Cutworms Cutworms are usually active and feeding before most crops are even in the ground. Hence it is most im- portant to be prepared for their at- tack at the beginning of the season. );ran bait has given most effective control for many years. A liet of the ingredients compos- ing tth'e bran bait includes bran, 20 ptouruds; molasses, one quart; pans green, ra pound, and water (about) 21/2 gallon's. In making •th,e bait., the dry ingredients should be mixed thor- oughly first. The molasses is then stirred, into the' water and this solu- tion added to the bran and paris green. In mixing the bait, only en- ough water should be added to make the Material the consistency of wet saw dust. It should not be made sloppy, but so that it will crumble in the hands and slip through the fingers easily. Land that was heavily infested last year should be treated before the plants are set out. This is done by broadcasting the bait at the rate of 15-20 pounds per acre a few nights before transplanting, One -afipllea- tion should be sufficient, but if the cutworms are very numerous, a sec- ond application should be made two or three days after the first one. Th, bait should always be spread in the evening, just before dusk, and if pos- sible, a warm still night. should be chosen for the .work. 1 If the attack is unexpected and tbe planets are already •in the field; the :balit should be applied around the base of each plant, using about half a teaspoon per plant. Should one atpplicattibn of the bait not kill all the cutworms, a second treatment should be made two or three nights later.

The newspapers carried large headlines dealing.. with tis- question Brom .the standpoint of security to our country. Todlay the Prime Minister was put- ting through the estimates for the Department of External Affairs. This question was fully discusse'd. Anticosti lies' in the Gulf between Gaspe and Newfoundland, within the jurisdiction of Quebec. It is a place of great etr•at'egic value. It commands the entrance to the St. Lawrence when approached either through the Straits of Belle Isle ar the ether way, via Cape Race. The island 'used to be owned. by Meunier, the Chocolate King, who had a little kingdom of his own, but tired of it and sold it. Since then it has changed hands two or three times, with the ownership vest- ed in paper.companies. The present owners are the Confsol•idated Paper Corporations. Some time ago It was rumored that a group of Germans had secured an option on the property. Now, if they could' get possession of a place right at the mouth of the St. Lawrence and war should come, it re- quires no vivid imagination to picture what- would, happen. • Mr. Bennett threw some light on the subject. He knew of the gentle- men involved and pointed out that they were not foresters, but militar- ists of high standing in Germ'anry. Mr. Bennett ad'mi'tted that some difficul- ties presented themselves as far as the Federal Government is concerned, as the property belongs to _ Quebec. The Prime Minister was reassur- ing. He said' thathis Government and the Quebec Government are in agreement that Anticosti mist not be owned by any foreign group, and told of the Justice and Defence Depart- ments getting information, and con- sidering steps by which centre) of the island cannot be transferred to any foreign group, even though it is dis- tinguished as a Canadian company. This was the highlight of the day. Among other matters at importance dealt with was the retirement of ,Hon - Philippe' Roy, Canadian Minister to Paris. This gentleman - has given years of service to Canada and his retiring allowance was the subject of debate. It was a busy day around the House- The Transport Bill got through the Railway Committee.
