Gosnell, .111••••••••9 I want to refer to the seed business for seed -growing, and the advice of members of the United States De- partment of Agriculture and of Can- ada is to first get the benefit of ex- pert views of the trained hprticulturiat before embarking in any particular line, which can be had by writing. Some seeds do remarkably well al- most anywhere in Canada that would not pay commercially. The grass seeds which are in demand at very high prices are alfalfa, red clover, sweet clover, small white clover, al- sike clover, sweet peas. The veget- able seed whose production should be pushed are potato, of course, beet, turnip, spinach, cabbage, mangolds, carrots and seeds of grain, corn and the legumes, peas such as a e s and beans. Last year in the United States there were a great many gardens planted' for seed purposes which looked well at first, but which from limitations as to soil or neglect in cultivation or. lack of the varieties suitable, in which results were far from satisfac- tory. Amateurs by careful study of their subjects often succeed as well as experts, but the majority fail for lack of skill and experience. As seed time i5 now all over Canada, those who are urged and wish to undertake seed pro- duction are advised to get wise and find out all they can as quickly as pos- sible. By the way, those desirous of get- ting more definite information on seeds and seed -growing, can get free a bulletin entitled "Every man his own seed -grower," by writing to the Do- minion Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Seeds are scarce this year and will be scarcer next. Grow your own. -the possibilities of growing grasses, vegetables and flowers for seed pur- poses, Mr. Sweet, the0Colorado pota- to king, believes that in our vast areas of new soils in the Great West, free from diseases, lies the seed bed for the rest of the world, but it is true of all of Canada. Certain seeds are now selling at a tremendous price. The supply itself has in many cases been cut off by war, and so much , of Belgium and France, two great seed - producing countries, has been laid waste that the supply at its sources 'has been diminished. But while there has been much written and talked of about seed -growing it is, not an ama- teur game to play; and there are also certain limitations to its possibilities in Canada. There is a temporary de- mand which will not exist after the war. In certain seeds we shall never be able to compete with France, Hol- land and Belgium in normal times.

Time to Start Drive to Save Apple Crop. Wormy apples are prevented by having the small fruit covered with arsenical poison when the newly hatched codling worms start their Reit meal. This spray must be ap- plied liberally just after the apple blossoms fall. Commercial concentrated limo sul- phur diluted with 40 parts of water (5 hearts to 50 gallons), along with three pounds of arsenate of lead paste (or half as much powder) to each 60 gallons of spray, is the formula re- commended. The use of soluble sul- phur compound is not advisedfor spraying apples or other fruits in foliage, particularly when it is mix- ed with arsenate of lead. Plant lice present may be killed by adding one part of nicotine sulphate to 700 parts of spray.

During ening and harmfulness in other ways, In most cases, the ulcer does not eat through or perforate the entire wall of the stomach; for that would almost certainly mean the occurrence in such cases of peritonitis, which usually would quickly have a fatal issue. An accident which is not unusual with this disease and often is serious or fatal, is haemorrhage; and as it is wont to come on suddenly, without warning, it must always be anticipat- ed and prepared for, when ulcer is known or suspected. The treatment is principally die- tetic, the diet being composed of simple substances which may be eas- ily digested; meat and other foods which are digested in the stomach, with the exception of mills, being ex- cluded. Medical treatment is also useful in some instances, especially such medi- cines as may have an astringent and healing tendency, for example bis- muth. If the diagnosis is clearly made out, an operation by a skilful surgeon will result in a cure of the ulcer, but this does not mean that other 'ulcers may not develop. - There is usually but one ulcer, but others may be in the course of for- mation and it is quite possible CANADA'S DUTY' 4eliaelleStatei e r etei'tet el �'12,''eentel A new duty has come 'before th Canadian people.
