Bernier $100,000 to assist him in diBcovering the north , polo was brongliton by Mr. Charlton iu the Comiuon.s last week, Wc are pleased to notice that onr repreeeuta- ^tivp.Mr. Richardson, took strong ex- ception to the snaking of this grant. Me. Richardson took solid ground •• wliDn he said : "If our attention is givon 10 utilizing what we iiave with- ont aiming bsyond that, it -will result . in greater benefit to the people of Canada. There are itnraeuae fields of enterprise opening up in this country in (ill directiotisâ€" enterprises that are full of promise and practical utility foi tbif new country, and that offer re. • warda far more certain than polar ex- peuilions." The govornraont, how- ever, seems to view with favor the .fipcnding of tliiE money, and it is ex- pected that the grant will be made, i In the name of those who pay the piprr through taxation and customs .dalles, The Advance also protests â-  against such a foolish squandering of •tlii.s large sum of money.

What advantage would accrue to this country, even supposing the North Pole were discovered ? Would it bring us more immigration ? Would ic attract more capi tal ') Would it open up new avonaeH for trade and commerce 1 Is there anything practical to be got out of it â€" anything ex- cept empty fame ? I ana not denying that sonie.practical results from a scientitic point o/. view might be attained, but we have not reached that period of our his- tory when wo fiansfford so much attention to quostions of this nature. There are many other practical nuestions with whicli we havi; to deal. It is said that the discovery of the North Pole would be a great advertisement for this country. Well, wo unfortunately have too much advortiHement of Canada as Our Lady of The Snows, Whit wo require to do is rather to dispel the ignorance which ex- ists rogardinij Canada's present territory and her cliiiwte, resources and produc- tions. In doing this, we would be do- ing something which would produce prac- tical reaul's. 1 need not mention the hundreiis of openings there are for prso- tical enterprise in this country â€" openings in all directions. Everywhere appeals are- made for Government assistance to legi- timate eiitoi'prises. I quit admit that to nioii who have a surplus of health, the project of Captain Bernier is an inter- esting one, and by all means let them ex-, pend some of their surplus wealth upon it. In older countries, such as Great Britain and other European countries, which have exhausted at home all the new avenues for enterprise, this Bchenie may he a lextiniate one on which to spend government moneys. But in Canada 1 think there are far more practical objects diiiiardingniu- riHtntion and lying right Williii: our reach. .\ ppoals are made to this government again and again for as- sistsnee, which the government does not feel warranled in gi-miting, extensive as our rcsourci's. I did not intend to say hut u few wurdH oii this subject, and I would only add that we should not forget thai in contributing out ot the national exchoquiT to a suheino of ihis kind, we are viiting the money of the poor as well as the ni-hjiht) money of the toiler as well ns the moiieyof the niKu of affluence. I do no see li'>«- wo can well defend an expendi- ture of thu kind, which can only result, at ihii h«st,iii our acquiring a little empty fanio,ii.n(l which is far more likely to have the same fitu that other similar enter- prifces liavi' suffered, and furnish another sad stury of a natiim'» folly. That Moth-Catcher, cnj lys great immunity from insect en- emies." On page 132 of his work he say "These useful insect friends are not yet sufficiently numerous to check mater- ially the increase of the coddling raoth and it is doubtful if they ever wfll be." If the moth catcher did not destroy all the insects, so-called friends and enemies, it would fall short of a peifect protection to plant life, for the insects that were left would popsibly do more damage to the crops if they wore left than the ones which were killed, under the law of adap- tation and self-preservation. The birds once protected our crops in orchard, field and garden. They didn't stop to sort the insects which they caught but de- stroyed them all, the same as the Haze'- tine moth-catcher, which kills the pests by catching the parent moths and beetles The following is one of 'many affii-.ivits showing that they do catch the coddling moth where there are any. Yours respectfully, JNO. WEBER ^AFFIDAVIT I have two orchard s, one of 30 acres in which I used S. A. Hazeltine's Moth Catchers last year and one of 10 acres in which I did not use the moth catcher.but sprayed thoroughly. On the 30 acres I had perfect fruit, the 10 acres were badly injured by worms, I have bought 36 ad- ditional moth catchers and am now using them. I know the borer beetle and the codling moth and know I caught both last year and am catching them now. The moth catcher cleaned my orchard of tent caterpillars and many other insect pests. G. A. d.
