Women's' Meeting's In Full. Swing—, - The Stmuner institute Meetings Are of Benefit to Every Woman Who Attends .poples to Be Dis. cased and Work Planned. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) OTATOES are sprayed to pre- vent such fungus disease as Early Blight and Late Blight and Rot. These diseases ai*e caused by plants known as fungi 'Those fungi which derive their nourishment from living plants inure them in so doing in various ways and thus give rise to what are known as fungus diseases. In combating the great majority of fungus diseases methods of preven- tion only are practicable. Spraying potatoes is not done to cure but to prevent disease. In other words the object of spraying is to cover the aur face, of the leaves and stems with a tubstance, poisonous to the spores of fungi, in which they cannot grow, and penetrate the plant. Spraying, therefore,' in order to be effective, must be timely and thorough. The spray mixture must, be on the plants before the spores reach them and the surface of the leaves and stems must be covered so completely that there is not the smallest space on which a spore can germinate, Efficient spraying of potatoes de- pends 1. Upon the use of the proper fungicide. 'Bordeaux mixture has so Mau proved to be the only satisfactory pray mixture for potato diseases. 2. Upon timely and repeated :praying. Spraying should be com- menced when the plants are from six to eight inches high and repeated ,at .ntei'vals of from a week to ten days throughout '• the growing season. From three to seven applications will' be required, the number depend- ing- upon the weather, the wetter the weatherthe more frequent the spraying. 3. Upon the liberal use. of Bor- deaux mixture. From 50 to 150 gal- lons of Bordeaux mixture should be used per acre at each application. 4. Upon, thorough spraying, which means the covering of every portion' of the plant with the Bordeaux mix- ture in the form of a fine mist. This can be done only when the solution is applied with good pressure so' as to insure covering every portion of the plant. The best results from spraying are obtained when potato sprayers are used which are fitted with T -joint attachments, so as to insure covering both surfaces of the leaves at each spraying. 5. Upon spraying before rather than after prolonged rainy periods. Infection of the plants takes place during or soon after rain. Therefore it is of the utmost importance to have the spray mixture on the plants when the ram conies. — Prof. J. E. flowett, Ontario Agricultural Col Che Importance of Women's Institute Meetings. A series of meetings which, to the a a;nen of rural Ontario, have always Inured Worth while, and increasing- ly so the last year or two; is the omen's Institute meetings: These are important because they are so far -reacting in their nature. They auord the town and country woman, matte. v t,..tt her denomination ay be, a channel through which she i. ,n be of ail -round serv;oe to hu- a:rity. Since the war began Red Cross and other patriotic work has," .of course, received first consideration. The alleviation" of suffer.ug seems peculiarly woman's work. The need is greater to -day than ever.. The great demand by the Allies for certain foods such a beef, pork, wheat and sugar has caused the housewife to change' her methods of pre-war days. She must now learn to substitute and to eliminate var- ious forrsis of waste. Perishable foods must be more widely used, not only in summer, but also in winter. These must be conserved through proper <storage, canning or drying. Such subjects' as these may be dis- cussed at the meetings. An expert demonstrator' may be secured from the Department to give information or a practical demonstration to assist the housewife. The members may club together and do their canning„ at one centre with one fire if they so choose, and in addition to the ' work accomplished may have a so- ciable time together. The children in the rural districts must not be forgotten. They must be prepared for the great responsi- bilities which' are too soon to fall upon them. Theireducation must not be neglected. They must not be handicapped by physical imperfec- tions. Subjects of importance to the child must be discussed and means adopted to improve conditions. The Medical Inspection of rural schools and the clinics held through the Wo- men's Institute are doing much to improve conditions. The girls also need attention. We are apt to forget the girls in our anxiety for the boys. Their lives and their prospects for the future are be ng affected by this war. Hence op- portunities for study, for amusement, or developing their talents to the ull, must be afforded them. Many of these opportunities may be secur- ed through the Institute. Surely with subjeets of such vital mportance as the above-mentioned, 11 meetings should be worth while. We would call the attention of all o the importance of the summer meeting, held throughout June, when he delegate from the Department is n attendance. She has the latest in- ormation on all subjects of import - nee to the Institutes, and is a spe- lalist on here own particular sub - acts. --. G.

Simply that our tremendous buying power in the soap -materials market can give you infinitely better value m Soap than it can in premiums. Owing to the war hundreds of factories are now making more essential goods than premiums, and the premiums stall offered us are too foar under Comfort standards of quality, and are certainly too high in price, to be good value for you.

Harvest Leaves Leave of Absence on Ground f Extreme Hardship. Procedure, t ob ain Leave of Absence. .Men Nineteen and Twenty Years of Age. It has come to the attention of the Government that there is a widespre?rl impression that young men of nineteen years, and those who became twen: since October 13, 1917, as well as those who may become nineteen from time t.. time and who have been or will be called upon to register under the Military Service Act, are to be immediately called to the colours. This impression is quite incorrect. ' No date has yet been fixed for call? upon such men to so report for duty, nor has the question been brought befc.;•. the Cabinet for decision. In view of the need of labour on the farm, it ism.. unlikely that consideration will be given to the matter until after the harvest is over, although of course the Government's action must be determined primarily by the military situation. There is no further obligation incumbent upon young men of the ages above mentioned who have registered or who do so hereafter, until they receive notice from the Registrars. Harvest "Leave. Some.enquiries have been received as to the possibility of granting harvest leave to such troops as may be in the country at that time. No definite aseur: ance can be given on this point as advantage must be taken of ships as they become available. On the other hand, harvest leave will be given if at all possible. Leave of Absence on Grounds of Extreme Hardship. It is desired that the Regulations respecting. leave of absence in cases of hard- ship should be widely known and fully understood. Such leave will be granted in two cases:— (a) where extreme hardship arises by reason of the fact that the man concerned is either the only son capable of earning. a livelihood, of a father killed or disabled on service or presently in service overseas, or in training for such service, or under treatment after returning from overseas; or the only remaining of two or more brothers capable of earning a livelihood (the other brother or brothers having been killed or disabled on service, or being presently in service overseas, of In training for overseas or under treatment after his or their return from overseas); brothers married before 4th August, 1914, living in separate establishments and having a child or children not to be counted, in determining the fact that the man is the "only" remaining son or brother'; (b) where extreme hardship arises by reason of exceptional circumstances such as the fact that the man concerned is the sole support of a widowed mother, an invalid father or other helpless dependents. It is to be noted that in all these cases the governing factor is not hardship, loss or suffering to the individual concerned, but to others, that is. members of his family or those depending upon him. Procedure to obtain leave of absence. A supple system for dealing with these cases has been adopted. Forms of application have been supplied to every Depot Battalion and an officer of each battalion has been detailed whose duty it is to give them immediate tention . The man concerned should on reporting to his unit state that he den desirets to apply for leaVe of -absence on one or more of the grounds form will then be filled out and forwarded to Militia Headquarters, ned and his application . adquarters, attawa. In the meantime, if the case appears meritorious, the plan will be giv'cn provisional leave of absence for thirty days so that he may return home and continue his civil occupation while his case is being finally disposed of.
