WHAT A M.AN SEES AT
WRESTLING BOUTS
There is an old college rhyme be-
ginning,
"Tobacco is a filthy weed—
I like it."
Somehow it comes to mind as we
reflect upon a visit to the wrestlers
at the Arena. We had a real good
time and saw some thrilling exhibi-
tions of a very ancient art. Nor were
we alone in this enjoyment for all
the rest of the crowd seemed to be
enjoying it, and they were for the
most part not novices like the writer,
but experts who, in various languages
called attention to the fine points of
the contest, predicted what hold a man
was working for and how another
matt would wriggle out of it. To us
wrestling is a good deal of a mystery
although we had the courteous assist-
ance of a former wrestler in elucidat-
ing the exhibition as it proceeded. The
layman as a rule, can understand a
boxing match. He sees the blow start
and sees it land or blocked. If a
man goes down he knows why. If he
sees a bloody nose or a swelling eye
he can draw the proper deductions.
But wrestling is not so simple. The
ordinary man who thinks about
wrestling has the mental picture of
one man throwing another down on
the ground. That is scientific
wrestling in the same sense that one
has enjoyed a violin recital when the
virtuoso tunes up his instrument and
'nods to the accompanist. Wrestling
does not begin until the men get
•dawn on the floor. Of course if one
man should pick up another bodily
and hurl him to the mat with suffi-
cient force to stun him, which some•
times happens, this would end the
bout. But as a rule the men are too
well matched for any such sudden.
romantic Doue las Fairbanks stunt to
be employed or attempted. The men
get down on the floor as naturally,
and as a rule with as little fuss as
the crew of a shell sit down in the
seats. IIt is then that the niceties of
the art come into play, the skill,
strength and speed which the real
connoisseurs appreciate, and which
must leave those who are seeing it
for the first time in a state of bewil-
derment as to what it is all about.

their feet. So far as anyone but the
referee could tell the men did not ad-
dress a single woad to each other.
There were no grunts or gasps, and
though on one occasion a gallant
wrestler was held, in such a punishing
grip that he resigned, though his
shoulders were not touching the mat,
no groan was wrung from him. There
was no blood split, and all the per-
formers were in such magnificent
physical condition that we have no
doubt they recovered quickly from
any pain ther endured under theivar-
ious disabling holds and wrenches ap-
plied to them. An artist, we think,
would have taken delight in the scene
and one charming Toronto artist, a
lady, enthusiastically proclaimed as
much. We gather that typical wrest-
lers are not built so much like the
strong man at the circus or the vil-
lage blacksmith of the\ Longfellow
poem. They remind us more of one
of the Round Table knights of whom
Tennyson wrote--Geraint, wasn't it?:
"the arms on which the
standing muscle sloped
As slopes a wild brook o'er a little
stone,
Running too vehemently to break
upon it."
One thing rather surprised us in
talking with these gladiators. One
and all they said they liked wrestling.
It was their business, of course, but
it was also their sport. If they were
not paid for wrestling we do not
doubt that some of them would be
paying others to try a few falls with
them. We recall that John Ridd, one-
time church warden in Devonshire,
also enjoyed the sport which must
have been pretty rough in the days
of which "Lorna Doon" tells us. It
can be rough enough now, when one
wrestler will apply sufficient pressure
to an opponent's arm or leg to give
him the option of surrendering or
having a limb broken. And anyone
who goes down under the flying
tackle of Sonnenberg must surely
have the impression that he has been
struck by an automobile. The wrest-
lers are of the highest type of pro-
fessionaI athlete. Many of them are
college graduates, who speak several
languages. Looking at them one does
not have to be told that they live
cleanly.
Now, reverting to the lines at the
head of the article—Is wrestling on
the level? Well, we are neither a
commissioner for r f r talon oaths under
the Canada Evidence act, nor on the
other hand a holy clerk in whom con-
fessions may properly be reposed. So
we know no more about it•than any-
body else. We know that we saw a
fine show, and a magnificent demon-
stration of the ancient art of wrest-
ling. For our part we cannot see
what difference it makes, from the
point of entertainment, whether the
wrestlers are really trying to dismem-
ber each other or whether there is an
understanding that they will stop
short of aggravated assault. Boxers
pad their fists and sometimes pull
their punches. They do not really
kill each other, though urged to do so
by the spectators. We do not doubt
that the wrestlers have a special in-
centive to beat each other. After all
they are not trying to establish
athletic records, nor are people in-
vited to bet on them. They are giving
an entertainment, and our personal
'pinion is that they are giving a
thrilling one.
TORONTO MAN LEADER IN WAR
ON FRUIT FLY
We learn from an article by Paul
de Kruif in the Country Gentleman
that a former Toronto boy, Dr. A. C
Baker, has been doing work of na-
tional importance for the United
States government in the heroic fight
being waged against the Mediterran-
ean fruit fly in Florida. Dr. Baker
is a graduate of the University of
Toronto and a son of Rev, J. J. Baker
and Mrs. Baker of Alberta avenue.
He has been the chemical expert in
the campaign which promises to ex-
terminate the fruit fly from the Unit-
ed States. The fly has already des-
troyed one citrus crop of Florida.
Fifteen thousand square miles of the
state, were infested with this fly
which is one of the most destructive
known to man. The work of the ex-
perts of the United States Govern-
ment, aided by Florida officials and
the fruit growers themselves, has
aimed at the absolute eradication of
the pest from the state. It has in-
volved not only the loss of one whole
season's crop, some of it already
spoiled by the flies and the rest de-
stroyed by the Government to check
the spread of the plague, but a literal
grubbing in the earth and in the
swamps of the state to make sure that
not a single egg remained.
Probably never in history was there
such wholesale destruction of a living
organism in the face of such tremen-
dous odds. Suppose the word was to
go forth that this year every house
fly or every mosquito in the province
of Ontario was to be destroyed with
all its eggs so that next year there
would be no more flies or mosquitos
loose than there are passenger pig -
'ons. It would seem a flatly impos-
sible program. But the United States
government has done a work compar-
able with it, and a leader in that
work has been Dr. Baker. Last No-
vember, when the last state survey
was taken, in all Florida there were
; mind Aust four maggots of the Med-
iterranean first fly. Mr, de Kruif
does not say what became of the4m.
No does he say when the appalling
pest invaded Florida. But he tells us
plainly enough of the widespread deso-
lation these tiny creatures wrought.
The mediterranean fruit fly is about
half the size of the common house fly
and only the female is really danger-
ous to fruit. It does not eat the fruit
nor is the tree or the leaf 'injured by
the swarms of insects that crawl ov-
er it, ,
What happens is that the female
fly lays her eggs in the fruit, and
that the young ones when they hatch
out are little maggots which proceed
to eat the grape fruit or the orange
or whatever else it finds in the neigh-
borhood. So rapid is growth and de-
velopment that the life span is 25
days from egg to egg, and in the six
months of her life the fruit fly will

lay perhaps 500 eggs. It will be seen
that the progeny of the billions of
fruit flies in Florida before the cam-
paign against them got under way
would be literally innumerable. The
task of the entomologists would have
been hopeless but for one fact, .name-
ly, that the fruit fly does not travel
far. Its instinct is to remain near
the tree where it was hatched and it
will leave it only if it finds it im-
possible to get food. This instiect,
plus the work of the scientists, is
what has saved the whole United
States from being overrun with the
pest and the destruction spread
through every fruit and vegetable
orchard in the land.
In this campaign it was the task of
Dr. Baker to do the planning and ex-
perimenting. When the fruit fly land-
ed nobody knew very much about it
and nobody knew how to exterminate
it. Dr. Baker's duty was tofind out
its habits, devise the perfect technique
for its destruction and to do it in a
hurry. Probably it is no exaggera-
tion to say that now Dr. Baker knows
more about the fruit fly than any
other living man. What he finally de-
vised was a poison made of lead ars-
enate, sugar, water and molasses with
which the trees could be sprayed. A
special method had to be devised here
and it was found that a light spray-
ing was best because no injury would
be done to the trees and fruit there-
by, and the fruit flies would hungrily
track down the poison if it was on
the tree at all. It was found that the
male flies were particularly fond of
kerosene, while the females were in-
different to it, and kerosene was add-
ed to the bill of fare. There were al-
so peculiar traps devised which not
only caught millions of male flies but
also served as an index for the rise
and fallthe
of fly `Pp
population after
the campaign of extermination got
well under way.
But to destroy the flies in the trees
was not enough. The infested fruit
would fall to the ground, and when
the maggots emerged they would en-
ter the earth. So the campaign in-
volved the sifting of some millions of
tons of Florida soil around infected
trees to sort out and destroy the
pupae. Under one tree 2,000 were
found and killed, which also gives an
idea of the magnitude of the task.
But the most terrific battle of all re-
mained. It was found that the pests
had invaded the waste lands, finding
sustenance on wild vines and fruits.
So into the Florida jungle the des-
troyers, thousands of them, had to
wade, armed with machetes to cut the
dense underbrush and revolvers to
slay the deadly snakes. and life pre-
servers to keep themselves from
drowning. Now the swamps and bay-
ous are as free from flies as the fruit
lands. It is true that the work has
cost the United States something like
$5;000.000, but in view of the fact
that the fruit industry of the United
States represents about four billions
it must be admitted that Dr. Baker
and his associates gave value for
whet they received, especially when
included in what some of them re-
ceived will shorten their lives.
UNREST IN INDIA MAY SHAKE
WORLD
What is about to happen in India?
It is easier to say what will happen
eventually than what will happen in
the course of the next few weeks or
tnc next few years. Eventually In-
dia will become self governing, with
the same relation to the British crown
as Canada. After that India may be-
come an independent nation or three
or four independent nations. There
is no responsible dissent from the pro-
position that India should govern
herself as much as possible, The de-
bate, the dangerous debate, takes
place over the time element. When?
Gandhi and his followers say at once.
The present British Government will
not agree any more than any previens
Government would agree, and no
British Government of our time will
agree unless India is able to make the
kind of government that now prevails
impossible, in other words, unless
Gandhi's disobedience campaign brings
about chaos. Gandhi himself does not
believe that chaos will long continue,
but he has said that he would in-
finitely prefer it to the kind of slave -
mind that exists in India to -day. We
very much doubt if the venerable pre-
scription of putting down lawlessness
with an iron band will serve in this
particular case. If it will, then the
situation is far less grave than most
observers believe. A oommunist move-
ment that can be dispersed by a score
r.f policemen is really not a menace,
and would probably disappear even
without the policemen's clubs.

the 'lows {iii 'a perfectly nptt4161 it
way is to ,e generally adopted it )nice
be plain t •a,t force is useless or worse
than useless. There, are very serious
doubts a.si to whether the program
of non-ivi;plence preached by Gandhi
can be continued. The chances are
that it will not be long under way
before it is marred by violent acts.
In that case it is the expectation that
Gandhi will retire, and wash his
hands of the movement, for it would
mean the frustration of his life work.
This is theopinion of Mx, C. F. An-
drews, president of the Indian Trades
Union Congress and a close friend of
Gandhi's, According to the New Re-
public, to which Mr, Andrews con-
tributes an article on the' present
situation, he is "generally regarded as
the Englishman having most influence
on native affairs." Mr. Andrews thinks
that the outlook is dark indeed. He
does not believe it possible that the
present relations between India and
the British Empire can continue. But,
of course, he does not believe that it
should continue. Mr. Andrews is
frankly an exponent of the doctrines
of Gandhi. His opinions are there-
fore, biassed, no matter how sound
they may prove to be.
;Mr. Andrews does not believe that
in the crisis which Gandhi is about
to precipitate any large influential ele-
ment of the Indian population will be
found standing stoutly against him.
The moderates will either stand aside
or join Gandhi. Their program prob-
ably represents the best thought in
native India, and there was a time
when it might have suited everybody
if adopted. But it is too late now.
The final appeal of the moderates be-
gan with this statement: "We firmly
believe that the only rallying cry
which can unite Hindus, Mohamme-
dans, Christians, Sikhs, Parris, the
Europeans, the propertied classes and
the laboring classes, can be Dominion
status, not as a distant goal or ideal,
but as an object capable of achieve-
ment within the shortest possible lim-
it of time." There is a large body of
'Mohammedans which has kept aloof
from the National Congress, and Mr.
Andrews believes that while this body
will not fall in with the program of
passive resistance, it will not take a
line of definite opposition.
What of the native princes? They
have been counted on as the very
backbone of British authority in India
and time and again have given evi-
dence of their loyalty and devotion.
But Mr. Andrews says that in many
parts of the country the subjects of
the native princes are restless in the
extreme, owing to the oppression
that the princes have exercised over
them. 'Finally there are the outcastes,
the "untouchables." They have a
greater veneration for Gandhi than
for any other man in a hundred years.
He would only have to 'give the sig-
nal and they would follow him to the
death: But this signal is likely not
to be given, for Gandhi has not been
able to make these poor wretches
seem like human beings to the great
masses of Hindus. The latter might
think the holy cause of Ahimsa (non-
violence) polluted by the adherence of
the untouchables.
It is possible, of course, that some
fanatical passions will be roused and
some old racial or religious enmities
break out afresh, but if this does not
happen the opinion of Mr. Andrews is
that there is no powerful native body
that will stand in the way of Gandhi.
But he adds that if violence once
breaks out nobody can say what the
end will be. What ought to be done
about it? The writer says that what
is needed is a complete change of
heart on the part of the British Gov-
ernment and English-speaking people
generally in their attitude toward In-
dia. Otherwise there can be no peace,
but at best a postponement of the
day of reckoning and revolution. It
is curious that Mr. Andrews should
find in a speech of Mr. Baldwin's the
real clue to the relations between East
and West, "Far away," he said, "in
the dawn of the state, the greatest of
the great races then emerging from
the mists of antiquity was the Aryan
race. When that race left the coun-
try it occupied and began its wander-
ings it founded Athens and Rome
and made Europe. In the veins of the
principal nations of Europe flows the
blood of their Aryan forefathers. The
speech of the Aryan has spread
through Europe and America, and to
the Dominions beyond the seas. At
the same time, another( branch of
the same Arman race covered the Him-
alayas and entered the Punjab and
spread through India. As a historic
fact, ages ago, these scions of the
Aryan race stood side by side in their
ancestral home—the ancestors of the
Anglo-Saxon peoples and the ances-
tors of the Rajputs and the Brah-
mans. And now, after centuries have
passed, the children of the remotest
generation have been brought togeth-
er by the inscrutable decree of Prov-
idence."
NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
The BUSY FARMER
When calves are getting skimmed
milk with clover or alfalfa hay, a
very good grain mixture is 300 lbs.
wheat bran, 300 lbs. ground oats, 300
lbs. corn meal and 100 lbs, linseed oil
meal. Some plrefer rolled oats to
ground and others use a commercial
calf feed. The main thing is to grow
the calves that are later to take their
place in the herd.
The Weed Campaign.
An intensive campaign against
weeds in the Province of Ontario has
been inaugurated for this year. By
an order -in -council, the Weeds Act
has been changed as to regulations
and in future no member of a muni-
cipal council or road foreman or
superintendent may be appointed weed
inspector. Some of the lesser weeds
will be overlooked this year and the
aim will be to concentrate on the
real pests.
Early Buying Pays.

cockerels early in the season will not
only have a larger selection to choose
from but will be able to obtain them
at a more conservative price. The

last moment often results in securing
fowl that are not entirely satisfactory
for the price paid. Another advant-
age in early buying is that the pou-
tryman can be surer of the birds that
he wants at that time of the year as
the early maturing birds will show up
to a greater advantage than later in
the ,season. Early buying also allows
the cockerels to become aecustomed
to the farm, thereby increasing their
usefulness. A bird will seldom prove
satisfactory as a breeder when he has
but recently been added to the flock.
Tankage For Weaning Pigs.
Tankage is recommended as the
best substitute for weaning pigs.
Pigs fed tankage instead of skim milk
may not make quite as rapid gains
during the first month after weaning
as pigs fed on skim milk, but they
will be much more thrifty than pigs
fed grain alone. Tankage may be
mixed with grain at the rate of five
pounds to 95 pounds of grain for the
first week after weaning, increasing
them to from seven to ten pounds in
100 pounds of feed mixture until the
pigs reach a weight of from 50 to 60
pound's. The small pigs may be .al-
lowed to help themselves to tankage
if it is placed in a small self -feeder
rather than mixing it with the grain.
A Useful Bulletin.
"Paints and Painting" is the title
of a bulletin that has nothing to do
with the compact and powder puff.
While it tells about improving the ap-
pearance it deals in the appearance
of inanimate objects such as farm
houses, barns and such like. Hoard's
Dairyman declares it to ,be one of
the most complete discussions of the
subject it has ever seen. You would
be interested in Bulletin 341, "Paints
and Painting," published by the On-
tario Agricultural College, Guelph.
Home Mixing of Fertilizer.
The home mixing of commercial
fertilizers for tobacco has certain ad-
vantages over the use of ready -mixed
fertilizers. The cost of home -mixed
fertilizers is considerably less than
ready -mixed brands, also the grower
knows exactly what he is using, not
only the percentage of nitrogen, phos-
phorus and potash, but the origin of
these ingredients.
The mixing should be done on a lev-
el surface such as a barn floor or a
specially constructed mixing box. The
ingredients should be spread out and
all lumps broken before mixing is
done. The whole batch is then thor-
oughly mixed by repeated shovelling.
Not more than a ton should be mixed
in one batch and it should be applied
to the land within.24 hours of its pre-
paration.
Makes 1000 -Mile Tour.
Farmers in Ontario will be given
free information, advice and literature
by experts with regard to their soil
problems. J. A. Caroll, markets
branch director, recently left Toronto
in charge of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture farm trait for a 1000 -
mile trip through the province. The
train of three cars will make approxi-
mately 55 stops during this sixth an-
nual tour from February 18th to April
23rd, Information on wheat control,
utilization of horsepower, fertilizing
problems and other matters will be
dispensed along the road.
Bovine Tuberculosis.
Farmers are urged to take advant-
age of the provisions made by the
Dominion Government, tb have their
cattle tested for tuberculosis. Each
municipality. by a petition signed by
two-thirds of the cattle owners there-
in, may have a veterinary test their
herds for tuberculosis, and all anim-
als found infested will be shipped a-
way, and the proceeds given to the
owner, together with a bonus of $40
per head for grade cattle and up to
$100 for purebred animals. This would
effectively eradicate tuberculosis from
the restricted areas thus formed with
little or no loss to the owners of the
stock.
"Old Dobbin" Replaced.
It is interesting to note the decrease
of "Old Dobbin" and the increase of
the "Iron Horse," particularly on the
farms in the prairie provinces of Man-
itoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
There are, according to a recent esti-
mate, a total of 66,220 tractors in op-
eration on the 248,162 Canadian prai-
rie farms, 14,557 of which were pur-
chased but last year. In Manitoba
there are 12,346; in Saskatchewan,
35,083, and in Alberta 18,791 farm
tractors. No figures are available for
Ontario but it is doufbtful if this
province can even begin to compare
with the western prairie provinces for
nurnbers of this type of machinery.
Lamb and Mutton.
Thelconsumption of lamb and mut-
ton in Canada is shoeing a rapid in-
crease. During the year ending last
March, upwards of 40,000 more sheep
and lambs were slaughtered in in-
spected packing houses than uuring
the previous year. The totals were:
1,008,835 cattle, 649,994 sheep, and
2,453,704 hogs. However, there was
a decrease in the number of cattle
and hogs slaughtered at these abba-
toirs. The packers are said to be
making increased efforts to irnprorve
the quality of the products they turn
out. More of the finished and pre-
pared meats ready for the table are
being manufactured, looking to the
development of the home market.

The Department of Entomology at
the Ontario Agricultural College
gives the following practical sugges-
tions regarding poultry lice:
"All poultry lice are biting insects,
and do not live on the blood of the
birds, but feed instead on substances
found on the feathers and on the sur-
face of the skin. In doing this they
irritate the birds and interfere with
their rest, so that it pays to destroy
them.
Destruction may be brought about
at this time of the year in either of
two ways. First, dust every bird
with equal parts of sodium fluoride
and corn starch mixed together. (Corn
starch is merely added to lessen the
cost). One person can do the dusting,
by himself by placing the bird on a
table and holding it in position either
by the legs or wings with one hand,
while with the other hand a small
pinch of sodium fluoride mixture tak-
en between the thumb and finger is
placed among the feathers next to
the skin, one pinch on the head, one
on the neck, two on the back, one on
the breast, one just below the vent,
one on the tail, one on each thigh and
one scattered on the underside of each
wing when spread. The powder can
be distributed a little by pushing the
thumb and finger among the feathers
when the mixture is released.
If a largepaper or pan is placed
beneath the bird, any dust which drops
out can be recovered.
Another way of applying is for one
person to hold the bird by the legs,
head down, while another, with one
hand, opens the feathers and with
the other dusts the material with a
