Thee% exams are the Recomimendation Exams, lucky pupils having 66 pet cent. or over be- ing exempt from the next or final set. To have 66 per 'cent. require diligent work th'roughpuct the year, orintense cramming for a couple of weeks. Some pupils say hat it is excellent practice writing a ms, but their tone ln.cks sancerity. ' * * • There is no revs, at school this week es pupils have just finished the exams' which were in III, IV and V Forme and 'began a week ago Monday and ended Tuesday.

He was a past master of Varna L.O.L., A little girl was walking with her mother through a London square, and asked ashy ,the roadway was covered with straw.

In the Banking Committee, the Mortgage Bank Bill was under dis- cession. This bile is a new and rather radical departure, and is being re- ceived with mixed feeling, some en- thusiastically supporting it, while others are not so sure that it will be entirely beneficial. It will be prob- ably tbrough committee on Thursday. The Public Accounts Committee had as witnesses the President of Mac- lean's Publishing Co. and Col. George Drew. The President is a very mild- mannered person. His answers could scarcely be heard, and he was re- peatedly asked to speak louder. He told the committee that his only ob- ject in having the article written was in the interest of the Canadian peo- ple. Gerry McGeer was questioning him and he had the `iletg'azine article and went over it carefully. He asked the witness why, if he Wanted to be fair to all, did his paper' show the Inglis plant from the very worst posi- tion it was possibly to show it. The picture was taken showing the rear of the plant and taken from across the railway tracks„ M. MeGeer led him all through the article and at times he was ;dumb in, answer to questions regarding fairness. In svmiming up before Mr. Justice Davis, Col. George Drew as council for Macleans, told the Commissioner that this cantraot watt conceived in sin, born in inequity and nurtured fn. fraud. He also told the Copo+missiorr- er that the evidence of the Deputy Minister was not to be believed;.fhere- by indicating that the deputy was guilty of perjury. 111r. McGeer asked -the witness did he agree "as he was present" with Drew's statements as made to the Commisssioner. If he did, how could he now say that no charge Was made against anyone. This ' gveartisn the witness avoided answering- The wit- ness said the company had paid Drew tvire hundred dollars for writing the article and had also paid him fees as counsel and adviser to the company. At about 9-10 pm. the witness was discharged. Cot Drew then came on the stand and for almost two hours talked about himself, 1?raotically per- mitting' no questions during all that time. He will be before the commit- tee again tomorrow. a mrem'ber of the BBlacik Knights of Ireland of Varna Ledge and a mem- ber of Clinton Lodge A. F. & A. M.

Carrot Fly Damage Control Measures By delaying planting of carrots un- til the middle of June In Eastern Can- eda, injury from the carrot rust fly will be avoided, states the Division of Entomology, Dominion Department of. Agriculture. There are really . two generational of carrot rust fly every year, the first in late May and early June, the second in late August and early September. The llasects winter in tele ground, and soon after emtarg- ing in the spring lay thel eggs Rion or in the soil lncenedfately serlround- r arS atte 300..

Seitorth ing the tiny carrot seedlings. Wihen the baggots hatch, they kill many of the small carrots or burrow into the roots of the .larger ones and create much damage by the tunnels they make. By the middle of June, most of the carrot rust flies have disap- peared, hence the delay in' planting gives the seedlings a chance. When carrots are planted early for the sunnier market, the fly can be controlled by watering the seedlings twice with corrosive sublimate, used in the strength of one ounce to 10 gallons of water. The first, applica- tion should be made during the first week In June and the second applica- tion a week later. The solution should be poured over the plants, care being taken to wet them thoroughly, as well as two or three inches of the soil around the seedlings. Wooden pails or graniteware containers only :should be used in mixing tele solution because the sublimate loses its strength in eating away the surface of containers made of metal. Corro- sive sublimate is a deadly poison and should be handled with the utmost care. in order to escape damage by the maggots of the second' generation of the carrot rust fly in late August, the. carrots should be harvested as soon as possible. Shade For Poultry When Weather Is Kot According to tbe Dominion Experi- mental Farms Service, the problem of lack of shade for poultry during the hot weather period is met by plant- ing either corn or sunflowers early In the season. A few rows planted neer the colony house answer the purpose well. If the chicks are running out the young plants should be protected for a few weeks by a temporary fence, By the time the het weather comes along the corn or sunflowers will he high enough and strong enough not to be bothered by the chickens. A more permanent form of shade May be provided by making's struc- ture which is meetly roof and open on all four sides. Some poultrymen Mme ' even mane the roof of olds bags which give protection on dry, hot days. Modern poultry practice demands that chicks be raised on clean, fresh land each season to escape disease and worm infestations and as a re- sult it is cot possible to have the col- ony houses permanently located near shade trees. Most farmers knew tbis and haul the colony bouses to fresh land in one of their fields and so there is the need for the temporary shade so easily provided by either corn, or sunflowers planted, early enough to give shade when it will be needed in a month or two. IMPORTANT CHANGES WEIGHTS POTATO BAGS An important alteration bas been made in the standard size of bags in which potatoes are packed for sale. The 80 -pound and the 90 -pound bags which bate been in extensive use, par- ticularly in Eastern Canada, are to be abolished after July 1, 1939, by an amendment of the regulations ander the Fruit, Vegetables, and Honey Act, a.nd the only legal weights after that date for potatoes packed in cotton, jute, or mesh bags for sale are 100 pounds, 75 lbs„ 50 tbs.. 25 ibs and 15 lbs. The weights for potatoes pre - packed in paper bags are 19 lbs, and 15 lbs. Thereare many advantages az tacbed to the chan•ge. The new bag weights are computed in quarters of the hundredweight, and it will be easy to recognize the differences is weight when the bags are on disp1a For example, the difference between, 75 lb. and 300 ib, and 50 lb. and e'S ib. will be readily apparent. -Ustder the old system this was not so easy_ When 80 lb, and 90' lb, bags were be- ing simultaneously offered for sale, the buyer was likely to be confused„ if not misled- The new regulation eliminates this confusion, and, in the interest of uniformity and fair deal- ing, ealing, will benefit both buyer and setter_ The old 80 ib. bag is considered to have developed from the use of see- ondhand sugar and flour bags which could not be made to contain the well established one and a half bushels, or 90 lbs., As no doubt the 75 lb. bag will be the most popular size for use in Eastern Canada and the 100 Ib. bag in the West, the alteration in the reg- ulations egulations will tend to decrease the number of different sizes the shipper will 'have, to etock and it will eneous- e4 age the use of nbags instead of secondhand ones. The 100 -Ib. bag has been in exten- sive use throughout Canada for soma time, especially in the Western Prov- inces, ryinces, and as it is also the principal) bag container for potatoes in the United States It is regarded as the Import and export trade bag.
