Now is the time to lay ran- plane for the coming season's work. Durelg the war, with wheat selling for over $2 per bushel, eats around $1 per bluthel, barley $1,1(0 per Inethel, and hay tiuelting $20 par ton, it did not require very close figuring to make money'produeing crops. With the cone • lug of peace, however, and the 'inevit- able drop in pricer, We will eave to figure mare closely than we have doee in the past. We must meet the decline iu pricee with a decline in • the cost ot production. This dtes riot • necessarily mean teat We sheuld 'use cheap seed and put seed in a seed beet that has not been prePerly preperede • It simply means that we must farm with our heads as well as with our hands. The man who leaves every- thing till the last moment Is always at the tail end of the procession, Now, when the work is slack, is the time to eensider Plane for the coming seas- on's work, and see if we cannot re- duce the cost of production by making the land produce more per acre.

It is perfectly true- that crops c.•en ;be euccessfully • grown on the sante land year atter yearabut this cannot be done profit- ably where the land has been farmed tor a great Member et years, as it eas been in most of the older settled parts of Canada. A man who does not -rotate his crops is wasting the fertility of his seal, and by lower - crop yield increasing the cost of pro- • duntion. In spite ce this there are many farmers threughout Ontario wha have no- syetematte rotation. To • maintain the fertility of the soil and obviate the necesstty off spending large sums et money in the use of artificial fertilizers, n is necessary that Molter or some other leguminous crops be included in the rotation.• , Of the three essentialelementof fertility—nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash—nitrogen is the most ex- pensive, costing normally about three times as much a$ the Other two. Next to an adequate .supply of moisture in the see, nitrogen is the greatest factor affecting crop yleicl. Leegumin- ours -mops are ableto take nitrogen from the air and store it.in the eel' for the use of future &trape. . A good crop of clover is equal to an appli- cation of ten tons per acre of 'barn- yard manure. At—thee Rothemsted Experiment Station in England, when a rotation of roots, wheat, barley 'and clover was used for more than sixty years, it was found that ween- the soll was supplied evithe fertilizers that supplied !phosphoric acid and pot - eh, but no nitrogen, the supply of illerogeu in the soli was as great at the end of this time as at the be- ginning of the experiment. The clover was not plowed ender, but cut and removed from the land. The etiterae,e yield of wheat during the whole perked was over 40 bushels per acre. Not only does clover enrich the soil, but when clover hay is fed to live stock less concentrates are requieed.. In planning, therefoes; cut costs' in production don't over- look clover, alfalfa and other leg- umluous cropa. leot to treat the •seeci. We knew a man last year who thongIa he would take a chance for 'me year and did not treat his seed. When harvest them came he was sorry he had not done so. At the Ontario Agricultural College it was found that oats that had been tteated for smut gave, as the average of five year's experi- ments, eight 'bushels more per "acre than untreated .seed. The melted Lor treatment is simple. Make up a sohttion censisting of one peund of formalimnand forty-two 'reline of water, and Mullen)°, the grain in the solution aor five minutes, stirring occasionally. Another method is to spread out the grain on the Mier and sprinkle with the solution, the grain being shovelled over until all is moistened, but not drenched with the solutton. About forty eegallens of solution will treat about forty buseels ol grain. After treating heap the grain up 111 a pile and cover with eacks for about three hours. Then spread out to dry. • For best results net onlytenust the seed be sound, and free from disease, but it must be et a variety that le yielding and suited to the locality where it is grown. The folloeviar varieties are reconunended for °M- arto: Spring wheat—Red Fife cern- mended. Oats—Banner or 0. A. C. No. 72. Daubeney or 0. A. C. No. 3 he recemmended where an early oat is required. Berley-0: A. 0, No, 21 and Manchurian. Peas—Arthur is recommended for earliness and pro ductivity. Other good varieties are Golden Vine, Chancellor end Waite Marrowfat. Field beans—Early Britnin, Potter and 'Canadian Beauty. . In .planting spring grains it is most Impertant that the grain be got In Os early as possiale. Leech day's de- lay means so much less yield. Spring wheat should be planted.. as soon as the lane can be werked, barley next, oats next and then mem— Tlie east week in May is the eest time to -plant beans takingeone year with an- other, It is generally admitted teat a mix- ture of grains will yield more per acre than one grain alone.

It says that the new. experiment of the Coal Commission is toe bold aria too successfulto be dismissed as an unique insteunierit fashioned to deal with a sPeciaa case, but its results ehould be examined as a test of what can be achieved in the so- lutiou of industrial defferencea by a public tribunal. The Observer points' out that the Government'n adoption of Suetice San - key's report opens up for the coal in - dustier a prospect of intensive erecon- struction which other industries miget well envy and that a eerlite now would be a plain act of revolution evhielt tee comunity would nerve }their' to over- come at all costs.
