Taken, as a whole, it would appear that the results obtained do not war- rant the cost of tredtment if certified seed is used. In the October issue of "Scientific Agriculture," summaries of seed treatment for potato blackleg are assembled by Mr. John Tucker and Mr. E. W. Herber, of the Division of Botany, Experimental Farms Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The value of these summaries, espec- ially from the grower's point of view, lies in the fact that they record results that have been obtained by seed treat- ment under practical conditions in re- presentative potato growing areas in every province of the Dominion dur- ing five successive years in connec- tion with the seed potato certifica- tion service.

The Iroquoian tribes who had learn- ed in the south how to grow maize, beans, squashes and sunflowers, in- troduced their cultivationinto south- eastern Ontario and the St. Lawrence Valley, whence they spread into New Brunswick. But the Indian methods of cultiva- tion, says Diamond Jenness in "In- dians in Canada" were exceedingly primitive. Their stone axes barely bit into hard maple or birch trees that were not first charred with -fire, so that they depended' mainly on burn- ing for the clearing of their land. Long digging sticks or hoes fitted with blades • of shells supplied the place of ploughs; the ripened ears of corn were gathered by hand and were transported in baskets by the women to the busking shed. No tribe under- stood the rotation of crops, or indeed possessed the means to rotate them, and but few made any attempt to fer- tilize the soil. Consequently, when their plots became exhausted within ten or twelve years, the community moved away to new but unbroken ground. The exhaustion of the fuel supply in the near vicinity was also a common cause for abaclonncnt of otherwise favorable sites. BELMORE One niglit of skating was enjoyed recently by our young people.
