Within twenty-four lours, the capitals of two neutral countries had fallen . into the hands of the Nazi conquerors— The The entire situation in Europe changed overnight, Before the new state of affairs could be ac- curately assessed and events seen in their true perspective, a cer- tain period of time would have to elapse. For the time being, of course, the war of nerves was over. But what did the future hold? * i 1 A number of important ques- tions, geographic, diplomatic, ec- onomic, were raised by Hitler's invasion of Denmark and Scand- inavia: Was the German action merely a counter-move against the Allies in order to secure bases to break the British blockade? Or was it also a political move, con- sequent upon which the conquer- ed territories would be reduced to the status of Austria, Czecho- slovakia, Poland? Would the Al- lies be able to drive the German army out of their new entrenched positions by air bombardments, by a naval war, or by land action? Would Holland and Belgium be the next countries to undergo invasion by German armies? Would the Balkan front be opened up while the attention of the power s was held in the north? Would Mussolini seize the opportunity to take over Yugoslavia and form a new "Ad- riatic bloc"? What would happen to Iceland, Greenland? What would Russia do, should the war in the north be prolonged? What effect would the new Nazi ag- gressions have on the neutrality of the United States? One thing was certain at the outset -- Germany would now have butter as well as guns. The eutting-off of all Danish exports to Great Britain (her best cus- omer) meant the release of enor- mous supplies of butter, bacon, eggs for German consumption. The April 9 Blitzkrieg also assur- ed Germany of vital raw mater- ials from Scandinavia — iron ore, iron pyrites, zinc, antimony and timber -- needed to carry on the tear. War Closer Here To Great Britain, loss of Dan- ish foodstuffs, Scandinavian raw materials, meant a greater de- pendence on North America, Aus- tralia and New Zealand, for sup; plies. The inc'reased Allied de- mands made themselves felt in Canada immediately with the set- ting up of a Ministry of Supply, headed by Hon. C, D. Howe, to handle all war purchases. Thus was Cai:ada drawn closer into the war . . . not just because Greenland happened to he a neigh- bour of ours, New General Manager C. P.

Curdening ,.. NO HURRY The average amateur starts oper- ations days or sometimes weeks too FIn and stops long before setts - tory gardening can continue. , th the general run of vegetables and flowers there is no advantage in getting things in while there is Still danger of serious frost, One set -back from a cold day or two completely offsets the. early start and may, indeed, mean replanting the whole garden, This caution of Spring Planting: Miss England Goes Back to the Land With all the inen of military age gone to the wars and with England needing more home -produced food than ever before1 the women have stepped into the breach with the determination to raise a bumper crop for John Bull this year, Here is a scene on a big farm at Bury St. Edmunds, where women of the land • army are digging and planting from sunup to sunset. Most of these women have menfolk at the fron'; or at military stations in England, course does not apply to very har- dy vegetables or flowers or to the grass seed, These should be sown just as soon as gz'ound is flt to work. GiVE THEM ROOM_ Zpacing is important as even the enthusiast does not care to spend much time kneeling and thinning, Labor can be saved by properly spacing the seed as planted. Corn, beets, peas and similar plants with Mg seeds can easily bo sown at the distances advocated on the packet. With tiny seeded lettuce or alyssum however, it is, practically impost 41b to space by hand but if the seed is first mixed with a little sand and the whole sown carefully, plants will be spread out. FOR THE OVERWORKED There are flower gardens that fit almost any situation, For those peo- ple who have neither the time nor inclination there aro plenty of an- nual flowers that thrive on neglect, A. little digging of the ground in the late Spring Is all that is required, Take such things as alyssum, the dwarf marigolds, portulaca and the California poppies for edging, These stocky little flowers almost seed themselves, crowd out weeds, do well in any location; but prefer the run and light soil. Once started they will look after the aseives. Pupil Exchange Idea Valuable Helpful to Students and To - Countries. Promotes Under- standing and Goodwill There never was a time when mutual understanding among young people living at a distance from ono another was as sorely needed as in our day and age, says the Kitchen. er I-tecord. So It is of interest to no- tice something of the way in which our schools help young Canadians to become acquainted in other pro. vinces and other countries. Each year brings over 2,000 full- time students •from the United States to our colleges and private schools, in addition to those who come for summer courses, A third oe more of these comp to our French language institutions, and probably most of them are from fa- milies who Were at one time Can-, adian, EXCHANGE AMONG PROVINCES Several hundred comp each year from Newfoundland, especially to our Atlantic provinces, and nearly a liundred.from the British \Vest Indies who also Study mainly in the Maritimes.

A DOCTOR'S HOLIDAY IN IRAN By Rosalie Morton Dr. Morton, famous woman physician and surgeon, here pre- sents an informal and informative study of Persia, the ancient East- ern land which has turned its face toward progress at a time when Europe shows signs of evolution in reverse. "The unveiling of wo- men," writes Dr. Morton, "has caught the world's imagination, but this is only a minor phase of the awakening. of Asia. Iran today is a lesson in modernism and an example of youth rebuilding a world," The author gives us a sympath- etic picture of the people, the no- mads, the villagers, the city dwel- lers, as they adjust themselves to a new tempo of living -- in a country as old as time, which still looks to the future with hope and confidence.

The ancients must have knov'n work and danger and love and excitement and happiness and death there centuries ago. The life drama of a kingdom! • The whtie girl thought of this in a flash again, and instantly realized that she was seeing an- other dramatic moment here. Only —this one was ntot in retrospect, not for calm historical study. It was tremendously near and real. •She strained to see Bob harry. The arc of his swing was incred- ibly large now, .And he was still "pumping,,, Suddenly she knew his plan. She realized what he hoped to do. "No! Oh no!" She breathed it, almost as a prayer, The distance seemed much too gr:at. In that instant, Mary Melissa knew that it mattered terribly, It Matters To Her She knew that it mattered to her, personally, and irrevocably. She didn't phrase it, even to het - self, as love.. -But, she knew. The tightening within her, .the actual physical pain in her heart, was keener than- it would have been if slic saw 0 casual acquaintance in danger. In the latter circumstance, she 'would have screamed. She might have run, and shouted advice, any- thing in her high alarm. But— this feeling was -different. Deeper, somehow. In the strain of the mo- ment she touched something di- vine—and prayed to it, mumbled ber petitions without restraint or shame, More given to physical action in such emergencies, old Wades Jones had abruptly disappeared, running. Frankly, he had no idea what he would accomplish, but he. hastened toward the trees at the foot of the great cliff. At least he would be on hand when Bob Barry fell. Honey Bee Girl, being of a less demonstrative race anyway, had uttered no words. She just wait- ed. Her mother and her grand- mothers for many generations back had felt no qualms at.dsath, Nevertheless, those same women had known what love -for -a -man was. Robert Barry had been kind- er to Honey Bee Girl than any • other white man, or any other red man for that matter, had ever been. Not the thought of .death, as such, but the , thought of . dang- er to this particular man, ' caused some strange, unexplained re- action within her, She watched and waited, breathing hard. But what of Scott Hollialan-- he who had accompanied Bob to the cliff top and let down the rope? • It hadn't taken his .employer long to disappear over the edge ofthe cliff, Holliman had warn- ed* hint to be careful, but in Bob Barry was the supreme confidcI1 e of young physical strength. Ilollinlan could see nothing after Bob disappeared. The rim curved precariously :for six or eight ,feet before- the edge was reached, and Ile dared not try to peer over at Bob, He had just let the rope out slowly as instructed, then held it, snubbed, when it was almost gone. The Rope Slackens It *tined to hint that he hadn't been told when to pull his boss back up. Ile wasn't sure he could.puli stint back anyway. The cliff .edge was of sharp jagged rock. 11 would cut into the rope, maybe sever it.

NEWS PARADE The long-awaited spring offens- ive by Germany came with a sud- denness that threw the September 1 Blitzzrieg against Poland into the shade, Within twenty-four hours, the capitals of two neutral countries had fallen , into the bands of the Nazi conquerors.. The entire situation in Europe changed overnight. Before the new state of affairs could be ac- curately assessed and events seen in their true perspective, a cer- tain period of time would have to •lapse. For the time being, of course, the war of nerves was over. But what did the future hold? A number of important ques- tions, geographic, diplomatic, eck- onomic, were raised • by ' Hitler's invasion of Denmark and Scand- inavia: Was the German action merely a counter-move against the Allies in order to secure bases to break the British blockade? Or was it also a political move, con- sequent upon which the conquer- ed territories would be reduced to the status of Austria, Czecho- slovakia, Poland? Would the Al- lies be able to drive the German army out of their new entrenched positions by air bombardments, by a naval war, or by land action? Would Holland and Belgium be the next countries to undergo invasion by German armies? 'Mould the Balkan front be opened up while the attention of the power s was held in the north? Would Mussolini seize the opportunity to take over Yugoslavia and form a new "Ad- riatic bloc"? What would happen to Iceland, Greenland? What would Russia do, should the war in the north be prolonged? What effect would the new Nazi ag- gressions have on the neutrality of the United States? One thing was certain at the outset -- Germany would now have butter as well as guns. The cutting -off of all Danish exports to Great Britain (her best cus- omer) meant the release of enor- mous supplies of butter, bacon, eggs for German consumption. The April 9 Blitzkrieg also assur- ed Germany of vital raw mater- ials from Scandinavia — iron ore, iron pyrites, zinc, antimony and limber — needed to carry on the war. War Closer Here To Great Britain; loss of Dan- ish foodstuffs, Scandinavian raw materials, meant a greater de.- pendence on North America, Aus- tralia and New Zealand, for sup: plies. The inc'reased Allied de- mands made themselves felt in Canada immediately with the set- ting up of a Ministry of Supply, headed' by Hon. C. D. Howe, to handle all war purchases. Thus was Canada drawn closer into the war ... not just because Greenland happened to he a neigh- bour of ours. New General Manager C. P. Express Company J. 1.

Labor can be saved by properly *pacing the seed as planted. Corn, beets, peae and similar plants _with big seeds can easily bo sown at the distances advocated on the packet. With tiny seeded lettuce or alyssum however, it is, practically impos- Sib to space by hand but if the seed 1e first mixed with a little sand and the whole sown carefully, plants will be spread out. FOR THE OVERWORKED There are flower gardens that fit almost any situation, For those peo- ple who havo neither the time nor inclination there aro plenty of an- nul flowers that thrive on neglect. A little digging of the ground in the late Spring is all that is required, Take such things as alyssum, the dwarf marigolds, portulaca and the California poppies for edging, These stocky little flowers almost seed Themselves, crowd out weeds, do well in any location, but prefer the sun and light soil.

"What in tarnation's he tryin' to do?" shrieked Hades Jones, Hades was jumping around and chattering more excitedly than either of the two girls, .Mary Mel- issa looked enthralled. "Oh, I don't know! It's awful, 1,Ir. Jones. Can't you make him atop? is it necessary to risk his life this way?" • . Bob was going through some sort of queer contortions now. He appeared to have looped the rope around his foot, and to be start- ing a motion of "pumping" as a boy would do in a swing, But he gathered momentum slowly. IIe seemed first to swing tl��,�','�ne war --parallel to the cii'f awellin "ledge, rather than towand it-- and he .had to :•Slo,v down, then • start tole*. .• Jle stopped and heaved, strug- gling for the pendulum motioa again.

Sand -laden wind, driving for many centuries' against a, wall, will do fantastic carving, more so than water will do in a stream bed. This natural phenomenon has intrigued the geologists always, The 'c'liff that housed Defiance Castle was not exceptional • in physiography, although the arch- aeologists had never understood how the builders reached the high lip. And yet—there the abandon- ed dwelling stood, partly crtnu- bled on ono corner, but still a monument to the genius and en- ergy of a vanished people. Many a scientist and malty a tourist had stared 'at it through field glasses, in frank wonder and admiration. On the day when they first saw the cliff, Mary Melissa had com- mented that it was a fine, theatri- cal backdrop for a great drama. The ancients had farmed the flat valley, where thio • modern explo- ration party had set up camp. DRESS IS GAY WITH EMBROIDERY 4 ' The ancients must have kno'tvn work and danger and love and excitement and happiness and death there centuries ago. The life drama of a kingdom! The whtie girl thought_ of this in a flash again, and instantly realized that she was seeing an- other dramatic moment here. Only • —this one was not, in retrospect, not for calm historical study. It was tremendously near and real. She strained to see Bob Barry. The arc of his swing was incred- ibly large now, And he was still "pumping." Suddenly she knew his plan. She realized what he hoped to do. "No! Oh no!" She breathed it, almost as a prayer. The distance seemed much too grata. In that instant, Mary Melissa knew that it mattered terribly. It Matters To Her She knew that it mattered to her, personally, and irrevocably. She didn't phrase it, even to her- self, as love. -Butshe sknew. The tightening within her, .the actual physical pain in her heart, was keener thane it would have been if slie saw a casual acquaintance in danger. In the latter circumstance, she `Would have screamed, She might have run, and shouted advice, any- thing in her high alarm, But— this feeling was -different, Deeper, somehow. In the strain e,f the mo- ment she touched something di- vine—and prayed to it, Inuntliled her petitions without restraint or shame, More given to physical action in such emergencies, old Hades Jones had abruptly disappeared, running. Frankly, he had no idea what he would accomplish, but he hastened toward the trees at the foot of the great cliff. At least he would be on hand when Bob Barry fell, Honey Bee Girl, being of a less demonstrative race anyway, had uttered no words. She just wait- ed. Her mother and her grand- rnothei's for many generations back had felt no qualms at,dsath. Nevertheless, those same women had known what love•for-a-man was. Robert Barry had been kind- er to Honey Bee Girl than any other white man, or any other red man for that matter, had ever been. Not the thought of .death, as such, but the:t!iougltt of dang- er to this particular man, . caused some strange, unexplained ' re- action within her. She watched and waited, breathing hard. But what of Scott Holliman— he who had accompanied 'Bob to the cliff top and let down the rope? ;• It hadn't taken his .employer long to disappear over the edge ofthe cliff. Holliman had warn- ed. him to be careful, but in Bob Barry was the supreme confidence of young' physical strength. Hollinlan could see nothing after Bob disappeared. The rim curved precariously .I'or six or • eight feet before the edge was reached, and he dared not try to peer over at Bob.

Full tnformat!on from Agents CAN ADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS $001 1tD Flax is Coming Back To Life The boom days of the last war almost killed the flax buteness in Huron County, but one or two men stuck to It. By P. E. Ellis in The Family Herald. The following Interview by a re- porter of The Family Herald and Weekly Star, In which he Inter- viewed Mr. T. A. G. Gorton, owner' of The Blyth Flax Mills, and Mr. W. B. Anderson, owner of Milts at Lutknow, 8eaforth, Mitchell and Tavistook, will prove Interesting to many in this vicinity, in view of the large scale operations which will commence In flax production here with the advent of seeding. We publish it for the Informa• tion it may contain for anyone interested in the welfare of the industry, Flax growingand processing in Canada was one of the real war babies of the last groat conflict, When the world war started there were t2 flax mills in Canada. When it was over there were -64, Previous to 19114, pro- cessors figured that they were doing well if fibre sold for $345.a ton. Then opened a great new market, The great linen industry of Belfast, which pre- viously had secured at least 95 per cent of its fibre from Russia and the Baltic states, was that market. When this great European source of supply was closed by war, prices for the small supplies of fibre available else- where climbed to dizzy heights. When a maxlmuan of $2,004 a ton was reach- ed, the industry went crazy. In those sections of western Ontario that bor- der on Lake Huron everyone was talk- ing alking .flax, thousands of acres of grass land, were broken for the crop and milia sprang up in every town. "Those were great days", said an old flax man to me recently. ;Why, the Libre II you ,could carry under one arm was worth a hundred dollars," I Then came the debacle. The war ended, Fibre again cdme in a steady stream from pre-war sources, Irish manufacturers, perhaps antagonized by the barddisted r+ontracts that we had driven with them in their hour of need placed their orders. is Europe, Fibre in aanade dropped from $1 a pound to dix, and then 12 cis, Processors were bankrupt. titins were closed. Producers were not paid the rent for their land. The industry had been given a black eye with everyone cote cerned,-- financial men, manufacturers and• farmers. A feeble attempt was made at revival but this was scarcely under way when the depression of 1929 dealt Canadian flax its final knock. out blow. A few mills continued to operate for the production of tow for the stuffing of uphbls'tered furniture but Canadian fibre had disappeared from the market And now the world is at war again. in many particulars, the conditions of 1914.18 are being duplicated. There Is still some fibre coming from contrite ental 'Europe for the great mills at Belfast, but it is only a fraction of regadrements, Vibrcr Is not required • now for the covering of aeropane wings but there is a great demand for tents and tarpaulins of the' same material, If the industry.is to meet the domande made on it, flax production must be speeded up somewhere, "And where is there a country, outside of Russia where conditions are more suitable to this speeding up than right here in western Ontario," inquires T. A. G. Gordon, of Seaforth. _ 'Mr. Gordon •was active in promoting • t'he=f lax business in its early days when prices were normal, He was doubly active during its boom days. Now, with opportunity seeming to again invite, he has purchased a flax mill In' Huron County, Ont., and Ia studying the situation with the advantage of a long experience in the business, It was J. C. Shearer, Agricultural Repre• seatative in that county, who took me to see Mr, Gordon. "Any district that can sgrofw fall wheat, can also grow flax," we were told, "The best flax Mire is produced Whore there is a lot of cloudy weather and in this stretch of • country, through the counties of lkumbon, Perth, Harron and Bruce, we have more cloudy weather, along with other desirable conditions, than any other part of the North American continent. We have also another re- quirement, Which is cheap land." increase Expected "Do you expect such a boom as the last war brought," we asked. "The government to not going to al• low prices to get as completely out - of -hand," replied Mr. Gordon. "The Imperial government has its buyer in this country right now and the price has been set at a level that will en- courage production but does not prom• Ise inordinate profits. This 4s in line with their policy in connection with all commodities. In the long run it will be better for the ind.ustry here In Canada. It is a policy that will dovei• op a -permanent flax industry. 1 look forward to the day when we will have„ • .�..... 10,000 acres of fibre flax growing in Huron County alone, 'stead of less than 1,000, as at present. To handle this acreage, tamers will come to look on flax as'a regular crop in their rotation and not as an occasional crop when plowing old pastures." "Put does not fibre, production call for a lot of cheap labor," 1 inquired. l•ista the flax pulled by hand?" "The future of flax, In Ontario at least, is dependent on the use of ma• ch.'nery," said Mr, Gordon, "There lin now machinery for everything, Pul- ling machines aro doing a better and 'cheaper -job than the Indiana, who ihlave done moat of the pulling in this country. Tho same is true at the manufacturing end,— machinery is dis• placing hand labor." "And •how about the market," I ventured again. "At the peak of our production we have produced just one per cent of the World's requirements," was the rather conclusive answer, iAnderson Weathered the Depression I have said that the 1929 depression gave Canadian flax a "knock -out blow." Well, not quite. J. G. Anderson & Son,' with headquarters at Lucknow, on the county line between Huron and Bruce, have continued, to operate on an ex- :tonslvo scale and, for the moat part, profitably. The original mill was at Ripley, In Bruce, but now they have four plants at Lucknow, Seaforth, Mdt- i obeli and Tavistock, The elder Ander- s son has passed on and it was the jun- ior mentber of the old firm, W. 13, An- ' demon, who showed us through the Lucknow mill and gave to Shearer and me a real picture of the working end of the business. Among other things we learned that there are two distinct types of flax. The fibre tYpe bas a long straw but is it shy seed -bearer and the seed pro- duces oil of an inferior quality. The flax most comanonly grown is short in the straw and seeds abundantly, It is this type that produces the seed for the oil mills and the oilcake meal that reaches the stock feeder, This fibre will make upholstering tow but not ex- port fibre, During the last war, the Anderson firm produced fibre chiefly. With the export market closed, small- scale operation was continued proda,c- ing tow for the domestic mltrket. "But this alone woud not have kept us going," admitted Mr. Anderson. "We shifted our emphasis and wont into the production of certified seed for the Ir'is'h producers, •Fro'n Ireland we Me Wednesday, April 0,1940.

GOLDEN TEXT.—And they shalt beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning- hool:c; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more, Mic. 4:3. THE LESSON IN 1TS SETTING Time. ---During the reign of llezekiah, probably between 726 and 701 13,C, Place.—Micalt's ministry was entirely within the territory of Judah, and for the most part in the city of Jerusalem. This lesson is especially inter- esting because the people around whom this . hale chapter gather, are the most talked-uf, the most hated, people presenting the most difficult problems of all the race.; in the world today, No one has suffered in modern tittles as the Jews have suffered, at the hands of other nations; and here is not only a prophecy of such suffer- ing, but a passage of wonderful hope, promising a time when these sufferings will be over, and a per- iod when these people will come hack to God and have a kingdom, in which joy and peace will abound. The name 'Iliad' was not an uncommon one among the He- brews; it means "Who is like Je- hovah?" Micah was a simple countryman, born of obscure par- entage in an otherwise unknown village. Micah, as his prophecy shows, was in closest touch and sympathy with tate class of yeo- men whose wrongs he so graph- ically describes. Promise of the Kingdom In the first three chapters, Micah's chief moral denunciations are reserved for the wealthy nob- les and worldly priests — the greedy aristocrats who coveted fields and houses and took them by force, who oppressed widows and broke up happy homes. Com- mercialism and materialism were cupplani;ing almost the last vestige of the ethical and the spiritual in Jerusalem, At such a crisis Mi- cah appeared, and attempted to call the nation back to God and to duty. 4: 1, But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the moun- tain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. 2. and many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach as of his ways, and we will walk is his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem: 3. and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concern- ing strong nations far oft': and they shall beat their sworde into plowshares, and their :,pears into pruning -hooks; nation :hall not lift up sword against ealion, neith- er shall they learn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig - tree; and none shall make then! afraid: for the. mouth of Jehovah of hosts hath spoken it, The mountain of the house of Jehovah ti the temple mountain, Moriah, here considered as part of Zion. Zion is the source of the law and .word of the Lord, from which the nations draw instruction how to waik in the ways of God, to make .. their own, take it to their !ewes, and walk according; to it, Every Man Under God For all the peoples walk ev- _sy one in the mune of his god; lnll we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ^-:er. A man's god is what rules his practical life; it is that which .drapes and orders our live, I'or- c!:ernlore, the worshipper will re- eetnble his god in character. 'Everywhere around us the people are walking every one in the name el his god.

It is one of the most remark- able Messianic prophecies ill all of the Old Testament. lu chapter four we had a very beautiful pic- ture of an age enjoying universal and genuine peace; here the Mes- siah himself is designated as the cause for such peace.

Farm Notes .. To Scare Pests From The Farm Crows are crafty creatures told by experience they associate •a scarecrow with the presence of some tempting forbidden fruit. Crows are long-lived and con- sequently have long memories. Pests far worse than crows prey upon the farmer's crops, re- marks 13. Leslie Etnslie, chemist - agronomist, Crows may be seen and heard, shot at or shoo'd away, though perhaps not to stay, lvhife these other pests are invisible mi- cro -organists whose ravages, however, can be plainly seen by harvest time. Invisible Enemies Many of these microscopic pests are fungi, some of which may in- fest the soil, but most of them are carried on the seed itself — for instance, scab and rhizoctonia of potatoes, seed rot or corn, btutl or stinking smut of wheat, the smuts of oats, severed smut and stripe of barley, root and stall rots of cereals, peas, beans. and other crops. • Science has clone much for ag- riculture, and one of the latest and greatest achievements is the discovery that certain organic compounds of mercury will con- trol these seed -borne discaees without injury to the seed itself tvhen applied in the small doses prescribed. Indeed, by destroying the fungi the treatment improve the germinating vigour of the seed and consequently increases yields.. Control Seed -Borne Diseases Years of most careful, •pain- staking research and trial reveal- ed that there is a specific orgatoc merctn'3' compound for each of several classes of crops. Fortun- ately, a little goes a long way, so the cost of treatment is trifling:, only a few cents an acre. The seeds of cereals, for instance, :u•c treated effectively with the ethyl mercury phosphate dust at the rate of ottly one-half eunce per bushel, and the seed grain may he treated from 2.1 hours to there months before plaiting, :IS May be convenient. For seed corn there is .temper organic mercury dust and 0 dif- ferent one for veegtable seed while for potatoes a wet dip treat- ment i3 used. For the control of seeding. "damping -off" a dilute solution of the. organic mercury specific for vegetables may be prepared :ld applied to the soil with 14 watering tan or in a find• spray.
