Here and There
Twenty-nine - men and seven
women who pioneered Alberta
trails died is the present year.
All of them saw the west when
it was young, the west that exist-
ed before 1895. The current year
marks the half century since the
Canadian Pacific came to Calgary.
Sailing for New York Decem-
ber 14, the 42,500 -ton white -hulled
Empress of Britain left on a
Christmas and New Year's holi-
day cruise for the West Indies,
December 22, returning to New
York January 3 and sailing again
January 4 for a 414 -month cruise
around the world.
Among the "Believe It or Not"
facts wellknown to the generality
of newspaper readers, may be
added the statement of S. G. Hib-
ben, of the Westinghouse Light
Company, made recently in an
address at the Royal York Hotel,
Toronto that "today there are
some 10,000 different kinds of ar-
tificial light sources."
Approximately 78,000 people
own the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way through their ownership of
'the company's common stock. df
these, 36,000 live in Canada. Of
the ,balance, 21,000 live in other
parts of the British Empire, most-
ly in England, with 16,000 in the
United States and 5,400 in other
countries, mostly continental Eur-
ope.
For the first time in western
Canada, an impressive ceremony,
'the age-old investitureof the
Knights of St. John was held re-
cently at the Hotel Vancouver,
Vancouver when six British Co-
lumbians were admitted by King
George, sovereign head of the
order, to high honors. Old world
costumes' and strange rites added
to the dignity and color of the
proceedings.
Railways and their important
functions in the economic exis-
tence of the State were stressed
by G. G. Ommanney, development
commissioner of the Canadian
Pacific Railway at the annual
banquet of the Traffic Club- of
Hamilton recently. They had, he
said, contributed materially to de-
velopment of natural resources.
building up of industries and in
promoting. land settlement and
agriculture.
Railway and motor truck trans-
portation are both essential to the
economic wellbeing of Canada
and neither should be antagonis
tic to the other, stated Hon. R. J.
Manion," minister of railways and
canals, at a national' conference
on transportation held at Ottawa
recently. But, he added, while
railways are subject to strict reg-
ulation and control,, motor truck
service hasnot as yet been
brought under any, comparable:
control or regulation,
Conserve moisture against a period
of drought at seeding time.
Use the best seed procurable.
Keep the soil in good tilth and,
most important of all, sow winter
wheat during the fly -free period as
advised by local farm advisers or
experiment stations.
Work in co-operation with your
aeighbor in fighting this pest, as
community action is essential to in-
sure complete success,
Late sowing is recommended, but
' not too late sowing, as the latter is
as disastrous in its ultimate results
as is too early sowing. Uncle Sam's
grain -disease' doctors say that the
Ie date in a time of normal rain -
11 usually coincides, in any one
ality, with the preferable time for
sowing to bring maximum yield. For
example, grain growers in northern
Michigan and Ontario are advised -to
sow after September 1, while the
producers of southern Michigan and
northern Ohio will escape fly infesta-
tion if they plant their grain about

Silo Almost as Useful as Barn.
The silo is rapidly becoming recog-
nized as a necessary part or the
farmer's equipment. A farm without
a silo, at least in the corn area, is
,no longer up to date. The rapid
adoption of the silo is accounted for
by recognition of its advantages.
If corn is cut at the proper stage
and .put into a good silo, the whole
corn plant Is eaten.
Silage in More convenient to feed
than is any other rough feed com-
monly used on the farm.
Silage is both palatable and sue -
content.
The addition of a succulent feed
to a ration increases the digestibility
of the dl'y feed' eaten.
With a silo It is possible to save
corn that might otherwise, owing to
immaturity, be largely wasted, •
The silo got only. provides excel-
lent feel In winter time, but furn-
ishes a rosins of keeping more for

August Mum Wing.
As the grains are harvested the
land which is not seeded should,
when practicable, be cultivated on
the surface so 'as to germinate the
scattered seeds, Hold the moisture,
and'betterii:t the land for ploughing
in the autumn.
Sod land calculated for winter
wheat should be ploughed early-dn
the month and harrowed every ween(
or ten days In preparation.
When picking wild flowers do not
take the whole plant. Remember
leaves and roots are needed to 'groat
again next year,
I We hear -much these days about
planting shrubbery and dowers and
establishing good fruit and vegetable
gardens on the faro. They all pay in
money value as well as added
comfort.

Chair of War has been founded in a
'German university, maybe because of
the fact that War is 'with'out any chairs

It was recently announced in Ber-
lin, 'by,a ,Government official, that the
Germain nation has made ''the first re-
volt in history against the intellectual
outlook which followed the fall of the
Bastille." Clearly he is right. A'lt'oge-

ulcerations o'f the fool •disease which
had ratted it, Sprawled everywhere
an that livid wilderness, and melting
into it with the rain, were the anony-
mous forms of those "whose names

That was fifteen years ago. What

ly fools .say that war brings out the

the active nten with the finer motives
and the better intelligence—to des-

Still, we shall not check the pres-
ent drive toward war by enlarging on
the horrors of a battleground, That
won't do, So many people enjoy a re-
lation of what is horrible. Nor would
it be right ot evoke deterrent fear
with a relation of the ruinous out -
'conte of the war. There is enough
fear already, ;It is fear• which is the
cause of war. Ale the pomp and cir-
cumstance of -glorious war spring
from a secret pallor in the bowels of
a ,people. They are afraid that some-
thing, which is never strictly defin-
able, will happen to their great dis-
advantage, and therefore seek what
they call "security." The general
and the admiral, in the last analysis,

what is craven in the multitude.
These "disarmament conferences"
are necessarily wrecked because each
delegate plods for th security of his
own people. There is a common fear,
and so a general cry for "security."
Let us once and for all own' up that
human life cannot have security.
Why it is so we cannot learn, but so
desirable a state was evidently omit-
ted from the plan of creation. We had
hatter forget it. We shall be happier,
and so more secure, if we do not
baste thought, energy and health in
trying to be invulnerable against fate
and chance. 'We ought to remember,
too, that when pleading for our secur-
ity at a conference which aims at es-
tablishing a system of international
equilibrium through justice, and our
argument wins at1(1 WC thus obtain
what we want, then it follows that
our neighbor Hurst abandon his secur-
ity. If we are secure, he cannot be.
The "security" of only two nations in
arms is .incompatible with .logic. If
me is secure then the other is not.
:Balt militarists are never strong in lo-
gic. They are always romantic, in-
ti 0ctive and emotional, whatever
their show of s'tatis'tics and the ex-
treme technicality of their arguments.
\;Ir. Stanley ;Baldwin, in a minute
or two of remarkable candor, told the
13ritish House of 'Commons recently
that it was impossible to defend Lon-
don from the air. That had been de-
monstrated; and indeed, every intelli-
gent citizen is aware today that his
family is open to poison and flames
from the skies, and that there can be
10 recompense except by destroying
the women and infants of the invad-
ers.
Yet twelve generals have signed a
protest against ;\!St. Baldw'in's "de-
featist" speech. We should do well to
give a moment's consideration to the
probable quality of the pooled intel-.
ligeace of those twelve great soldiers.

shaped by forces now only surmis-
able will inevitably pre'sent- hi'fu with
a situation entirely too late 'for any
.thingbcneficfal to done with it.
The extraordinary 'behaviour of of-
ficial Japan, the couitnuous uproar in
.China while she is d'e'ciding whether
or not a Western philosophy is better
than her own tradition, the fervid ,pe-
culiarities exhibited by the present
German leaders are but symptoms of
a common invalidsm.
The patients must have .time. The
world is sick. dt is true that in their
desepetate ,paroxysms the patients
may deo themselves injury, yet as any
deliberated interference of ours could
do no noore .than increase the confus-
ion and prolong it, we had better try
our neglected code at last, and see
whether the soft answer and the gol-
den rale will work, They have never
'been extensively red. And now they
appear to be about the last chance we
have, 'Quiet reasoning and .a show of
good wilt, especially when our own
state inclines us to be irritable and
petulant, are not easy; yet theeffort
must be nnacle if Nye are to save our
own doorsteps; always a sound rea-
son for a show of amiability.
Whet is there we can do? There is
a great deal we should do. Unless
the fears that are represented by
great fleets and 'national jealousies
are dispelled, then we may look in
vain for substantial national recover-
ies in America, Asia, and Eiu•o'pe.:Un-
lnckily, each nation is showing the ti-
midity and exclusiveness of a neuras-
thenic woman who trembles at the
sight of a strange bowler hat. As
men of peace, who desire the recovery
of our own and other countries, our
opinions must be definitely some-
thing more than pious. We must
keep in mind the fact that our rulers
will do what we want them to do if
they see they will be unlucky should
they ignore us, :-At present they at-
tend with far greater interest to peo-
ple who want to be surrounded by
guns. They can even be persuaded,
though short of money, that it is
right to spear it on warships, -because
that provides employment. So does
Crime provide employment, for that
hatter. tAs if crime should be en-
'couraged, 'because it keeps in employ-
ment judges, attorneys, police, hand-
cuff manufacturers and, builders of
prisons!
We are forced to admit that the
other side, the sinister and secretive
people whose major •concern is the ex-
tension of armaments, are cleverer
arid 'more pertinacious than men of
peace, Any administration therefore
attends to them with unavoidable re-
spect, T.hesc interests are rarely very
noticeable; but they :have great pow-
er, which is backed by all the fears of
the community. Their representa-
tives haunt the administration of each
great state dike spectres confident in
their chain -rattling and groans.
Is the story of the immunity of the
rich iron fields of the Briey- Basin
front bontbardtnent during the great
war known 'in America? )Both French
and German "interests" were involv-
ed. Until the end of 19111 that area
was not subject to explosives, though
it supplied the metal which destroy-
ed French armies. When this became
so notorious that it could not be ig-
nored by the politicians, the French
airmen raided it trolls time to time,
Yet they did little harm, The officer
in charge of bombing operations was
formerly an employee of the Comite
des !Forges, And this in war -tine
itself!
And now, tvhile we have peace,
when each nation is withdrawing it-
self into a starvation self-sufficiency
it is the ' armament manufacturers
themselves, whose agents and public-
ists do so much to (seep nationalism
twittering like a child in the dark,
who alone 'lave achieved profitable
internationalism. 'Frontiers mean less
to them than to idealistic humanitar-
ians. Money alone is superior to fron-
tiers and 'patriotism. The armament
firms are now prosperous because
they are establishing in other coun-
tries the means by iv Inch their own
nationals some day may fall in glor-
ious defeat. The plain word for that
is treason. These people are more
deadly enemies to society than an
avowed enemy could possibly be.

Following is a continuation of last
week's diseusston on the best meth-
ods of destroying certain w?eede•
affecting Ontario farms:
Spraying With Iron Sulphate to Pre.
vent Mustard Froin Seeding In
Cereal Crops.
Iron sulphate or copperas can be
successfully used to destroy mustard
in standing grain without Injury to
the crop.
Preparation of Solution.
A 20 per cent. solution should be
applied. This can be prepared by •
dissolving 80 pounds of iron sulphate
in forty gallons of water. Iron sul-
phate is dissolved, quite readily in
cold water, The solution should be
strained through a cheese cloth, as
it 1s put into the spray pump tank,
This will remove dirt and small par-
ticles that are apt to clog the
nozzles.
Time to Apply.
Apply on a calm clear day just as
soon as the first few plants in the
fields show flowers. It is very im-
portant to spray early. I1 the plants
are left too long the treatment is
not nearly so effective. If a heavy'
rain collies within twenty-four hours
after the solution is applied, it will
be necessary to spray again.
How to Apply tine Solution.
An ordinary hand pump barrel
sprayer, such as is employed to spray
fruit trees may be used, or a potato
sprayer can be rigged up to do this
work. Many of the up-to-date spray-
ers have a special broadeaa` attach-
ment for spraying weeds. Thaw are
excellent for large areas, as they cov-
er a wide strip at each round. Care
must be taken to see that ev.lry
Mustard plant is covered with tae
solution in the form of a fine spray.

operative experiments show that
