I Canada's Good Visiting. - During the Canadian' fiscal year 1916-16 the fisheries of the Sydney consular district, comprising the island of Cape Breton and the two adjoining counties on the mainland of Nova Scotia: employed more" than 11,000 persons directly engaged in fishing on 4,000 vessels` and boats, nearly 1,200 of the boats being gaso- line motor boats. In addition some 4,000 laborers were employed in baiting, packing, etc., making a total of 15,000 engaged in the flatteries of this district. • - To encourage this industry the Canadian Government, during the year mentioned, paid a bounty of $27,265 to the vessels, boats; and fishermen in the district. This was at the rate of $1 for each registered ton of the deep-sea fishing vessels, and $5.90 to each member of the crews, while the so-called shore fish- ermen received $1 for each boat en- gaged and $3.45 for .each fisherman employed To share in the bounty payments, a person must have been engaged in the fisheries for at least three months and have caught not less than 2,500 pounds of fish. No bounty Is paid to fishermen engaged in catching shell- fish, salmon, Ash taken in or at the mouths' of river's, oi' fish caught in trap nets, pound nets, or weirs. To assist the Industry in this particular district the Government on its rail- road has a.''ast refrigerator -car ser- vtce one day each week from MuI- graVe, on the Strait of Canso, to Montreal, and on less than carload lots of fresh fish the Government makes payment of one-third of..the expreee ehar'ges from the Atlantic coast to points- in the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, Besides these direct aids to the fisheries of the dis- trict, eight hatcheries are main- tained. The fisheries had a very successful season in 1915-16, not" only 'in the quantity of fish obtained but also in the good prices received. 'The quan- tities and values of the 'Salt caught and marketed in the past two years were:. Season of 1914-15, 65,371,- 800 pounds; value lauded, 91,218,- 841; value marketed, 91,741,129; season of 1915-16, 67,195,4110 pounds; value landed, $1,252,586; value marketed, 12 09te,420,, • CRA 1 TRUNK RAILWAY SYSTEM Plan Your Summer Vacation Now Arrange to visit some of the toll- lowing points.

The Lettuee seed may be sown In rows comparatively thinly at a depth of a quarter of an inch. The plants should be thinned to stand two inches •apart, If one deaires Iarge single heads of lettuce the plants should be thin- ned to stand from seven to nine igches apart. The thinnings may be transplanted to another .part, of the garden. • - RADISH. The radish plant is grown for its foots, which are eaten raw just as soonvas they are large enough to use. It is quite hardy/. and may be planted very early inthe spring. Radishes are frequently sown with other crops which are not such rapid growers, such as pars- nips, • They should, however, be pulled out before the parsnips or other crops need the ground. Suc- cessive planting is also advised for this crop. Radish . seed may be planted in rows, four incbes .apart or broadcasted, the depth preferred be- ing from a quarter to half an inch only. Radish a< a general rule re- quire 310 thinning, and the soil be- tween the rows should be kept loose with the hos. A crop of winter radish may be obtained If the seed is sown about the first of August. These should be thinned out to three inches apart. SPINACH. Spinach is a short season crop which is grown to pro- vide table greens. The plant matures in about six weeks from planting, and seed should be sown very early in the spring, as the plants run to seed during the hot summer months. The seeds may be planted in rows or broadcasted, and should be sown at a depth of one half inch. Successive planting may be made if so desired. When the leaves are large enough to use they may be pulled off or the whole plant may be cut from the root. ONION. The onion is grown, for seasoning, pickling, and for eating raw. A large percentage of onions stored for winter use are grown from seed planted in the soil very early in the spring, Thesoil should be rich, moist and well drained, but fresh manure is not the best to apply. The seeds should be planted at a depth of about one-half ilia, and the rows should be trom,eltwelve, to fourteen inches apart. The seed should be planted very thinly ao that there will be no need for extra thinning of the onions. Cultivation should cease when the onion tops are such a size as to prevent easy work. In the fall when the tops are about two-thirds died down the onions should be pull- ed and laid in,windrows so arranged that the bulbs arecovered with the tops, of the onions. This prevents any sunburn' which causes consider- • able trouble in storage. After they have been kept in this position for five or six days they may be gathered up and placed in a slat box or basket and tied up some way so that the rain will not get at them and the wind will have pleuty of chance to circulate around the bulbs. The tops may be removed from the onions at this time if so desired, or they may be left re. Dutch sets may be planted as close together as they will stand in a straight row very early in the season. They should be barely covered with soil, whleh should be well firmed by tramping on it, and the green onions should be pulled as soon as they are ready for use. PI7 ts. Peas may be planted very early in the season, and for the early -crop the seed should be; sown in a furrow of two inches deep and the seeds placed an inch apart. Some ar- raugements should be made so that the pea vines will have some sup- port. Limbs of trees or chicken wire may be used for this purpose, as the vines will chug to this for sup- port aid will be kept up from the ground, This support should be preferably at the time of planting. This soil, should be drawn up around the vine. BEANS. Generally speaking, It Is hot a good practice to add fresh man - tire to the soil ,t'her'e one expects to grow beans, They prefer a moist, •ddeep loam, The seeds should be planted fairly early in the spring, The rows being at least eighteen in- ches apart. A furrow two inches deep may be made with the corner of a hoe and the seeds placed from two to three inches apart In the bottom of this furrow. Another way wileh fel sometimes followed, in planting beans is; to make holes two inches deep twelve inches apart and in each holo three or four seeds bet placed. It Is always advised not to touch the plant when they are wet. ,sae* of 0 th th S1 fe 1?1 e9 $2 $2 av ha ge Fei ba. Demand Exceeds Supply, Mr. W. D.
