ITALY ENROLLS
ALL CITIZENS
"Both Sexes Between 15 and 60
Must Serve the State.
•
A despatch from Rome says: From
March 20 to 31 the Italian Govern-
ment called upon civilians of both
sexes, between the ages of 15 and 60
years, to enroll for voluntary service,
giving part or all of their time, with-
out pay, to aid the following indus-
tries: Agriculture, 'metallurgical, tex-
tile, chemical, building and road mak-
ing, also ,the minor crafts, such as
saddlery and military clothing.
If voluntary recruiting fails to give
enough workers' the Government re-
serves the right to enforce enrolment.
Italy is the third belligerent to adopt
this service. Germany, at the begin-
ning of 1916, adopted it, and England
the following year. France now
awaits - the Chamber's sanction to en-
force a similar scheme. The move -

CAN lA �A TO ASSIST
IN SHIPBUI> i��ING
Orders Placed for 43 Steel and
46 Wooden Vessels at Cost
of $64,500,000.
A despatch from Ottawa says: De-
tails of the Canadian Government's
plan for assisting in meeting the need
of the allies for merchant ships were
given by Sir Robert Borden in the
course of his ,speech at the opening of
Parliament. Already much has been
done in the. Dominion by the Imperial
Government through the Imperial
Munitions Boards
M for 43 steel ships,
with an aggregate tonnage of 211,800
tons, and 46 wooden vessels, with a
total tonnage of 128,400 tons, The
total value of these vessels is $64,-
600,000; 12 shipyards are now work-
ing on orders from the Imperial Muni-
tions Board and their capacity is be-
ing brought up to approximately 250,-
000 tons a year.
Berths vacated by the completion of
ships ordered by the Munitions Board
will be utilized at once by the Domin-
ion Government, Four cargo steam-
ers with a total tonnage of 28,500 tons
are to be completed and placed in
commission this year. Next year,
'however, 50 steel ships are to be con-
structed. For the present year, the
Government has authorized by order -
in -Council an expenditure of $25,000,-
000 on shipbuilding.

URGE THE FARMERS
TO GROW FLAX CROPS.
A despatch from Toronto says: The
defection of Russia deprives the allies
of and gives to the Germans the larg-
est flax-prbducing area in the world.
In consequence there will be a tre-
mendous demand by the allies for flax,
which is used extensively in the manu-
facture of airplanes and other in-
struments of war, and the Provincial
and Federal Departments of Agricul-
ture are now discussing plans to en- b
courage the production of flax in this fo
province. The Canadian Flax -Grow- to v
ers' Association recently called the re
attention of the authorities to the as
need for flax production. They claim ag
that flax does net exhaust the soil to de
so great an extent as barley or wheat, pl
that profits are assured irrespective of
weather conditions, that when flax has the
been pulled the Iand is in excellent wi
condition, for the cultivation of fall los
wheat, and that flax production on old sad
sod land kills the destructive wire m
worm.
To keep potatoes from sprouting,
fill the barrels halt f:i1l and give
them a good shaking occasionally,

"The accident happened last S
tember," she said. "I was working
with another girl in the powder sec-

suit. I.. was looking down at my work
when there came a sudden flash and
an explosion, and the fire flew .to my
eyes, It ran and

burnt my arms. One of the workmen
rushed to help me, and I was wrapped
up in blankets and taken to the ar-

me I should never see again."
For two weeks Mrs. Peters stayed
by her daughter's side day and night.

"I am not miserable,"' she went on.
"It will always' make me happy to
know I did my bit to help the boys. I

What Experiment of the Conimissio i
of Conservation Shows.
A siriall field of summer, pasture
sown on the farm is very valuable in
many,ways. If the ordinary pastdres
are short and dried up during July and
August, the -piece sown to summer •
pasture will tide the stock over the
dry pasture period. If the ordinary'
pasture is good, then the summer,
mixture can be cut for hay or allowed
to ripen as a crop. It Is an excellent.
crop with which to seed down, espe-
cially when pastured or cut early, and
may be sown after the regular spring
seeding is completed.
Summer pasture mixtures were
sown on a number of farms last year
with good results, in connection with
the Illustration CotS'nty work being
conducted by the Commission of Con-
8ervation in Dundas county, Ontario.
On one man's farm five acres were
sown as follows;one acre to oats and
vetches, one acre to fiats and peas, and
three acres to a mixture of wheat,
oats and barley. This field enabled the
farmer to save for hay another five
acre field, which gave a yield of . 10
tons. The summer pasture grew so
well that, when ready for use, it was
fenced across and only half of it pas-
tured. The two and one-half acres,

PREPARE FOR SPRING FLOODS.
Winter Conditions Point to Trouble
When the Spring Break up Comes.
. All this sinter snow has fallen in
unusually large' quantities. There was
no "January thaw” and no marked
thaws in February. It ,has been a
steady winter with the prospect of it
remaining so until the spring break-
up. Then' the rains will descend and
the winds will blow in the most Bibli-
cal manner and floods of unusual -pro-
portions will be the result. Already
a small February thaw has caused.
much damage at points along the
Thames and Grand rivers iii Ontario.
Ice jams forced the water over some
of the artificial embankments anti'
much loss' and discomfort resulted.
Are these instances merely a foretaste
of what is Coming? In any event, it
is' better to prepare for such a con-
tingency with every means available.
Engineers should be placed in charge
and ice jams should be dynamited be-
fore they have had a chance to dam
back the water, Weak places in em-
anlcnients should be properly retu-
ned. Food kept in cellars in the
ti lands bordering' streapas should be
moved to•upper• stories of houses, so
to prevent its destruction or'dam-
e in flooded cellars. Similarly fad -
r and grain in barns should be
aced as high and dry as possible,

as compared with the previous year.
There was an increase in the value of
the catch in all the provinces with the
exception of atario, where smaller
catches of trout, whitefish, pike and

system of planting the young trees.
We have cut some 5 ft. and over at
the stump. Most of 'tate treds are
planted along creeks and between
every row of trees a' ditch is dug
which is kept full of water regulated
by small gates or weirs,
Heaping the measure helps a heap
in the marketing.'
The world needs men who can
change cents into dollars and dollars
into sense,

mi1'alty on submarine losses and world
shipbuilding were made public here
on Thursday by the British Embassy,

action and marine risk on January 1,
1918, allied and neutral shopping had
lost since thewar began 11,827,572
gross tons, while shipyards outside of
the'Central Powers were turning oui
6,606,275 tons.
These figures, long withheld, are
now made public, an Admiralty me.
more11dum says, because they will not
stimulate the enemy and because they
will impress upon the people the
necessity of united action in making

task, and warning that the recent fall.
ing off in British production must not
continue.
