This Is especially true In the case of weeds. When one considers that a single specimen of many kinds of weeds may produce over 10,000 seeds, and that many of such seeds may be blown far and wide by th(. wind, one begins to realize just what a source of contamination Is a weedy roadside, a fence corner or a wasto place. In Ontario it Is too common a sight. In the fall of the year to see a fann- er busy with his fall cultivation, at- tempting to clean his field and pre- paring a good seed bed for next year's crop. At the same time on the roadside near the field or In the fence corners or sorao waste place near it such weeds as Perennial Sow Thistle, Canada Thistle, Milkweed and Wild Lettuce' are maturing seeds by the thousands, to bo blown on to his well tilled Held and reseed it with enough filth to markedly lessen his crop and increase hia labor next year. When labor is so scarce and when the maximum quantity of grain should be produced from CTery acre under cultivation, no man can afford to allow weeds to soed anywhere In fhe neighborhood of his farm. A few hours spent now and again during the summer cutting weeds on road- sides, in waste places and fence cor- ners is B good Investment for the future, which will pay handsome divi- dends in labor saved and Increased crop. â€" Prof. J. E. Howitt, Ontario Agricultural College. Conserve tlie Soil Moisture. Moisture is the most Important soil property. Without it a crop iu absolutely impossible, no matter how much fertility may be present. With the proper amount large crops are obtained, while on the other hand it moisture Is excessive or deficient the yield is diminished according as tho excess or deficiency Increases. If all the water necessary for the produc- tion of a full crop could bo collected on the surface of the ground at one lime, it would be from 18 Inches to 2 4 inches deep, depending on tho crop and the season! During the growing season only 10 or 12 inches of rain fall.s in Ontario, and thi.s >, 'jnly half tho anoiint required by the ;'rops. Hence it becomes necessary to store up in the soil as mftch of Ilio winter and spring rains as possible, while at the same time guarding af^uinst excc;;s. The amount of water a soil may contain depends on the pore space in tho soil. Sands have least pore space, loams and mucks most, and clay is Intermediate. The porosity of a coarse sand Is about 3,5 per cent., of a loam or muck about .SO per cent., and of a heavy clay about 4.5 per cent. From these figures It will be seen that a soil may contain ncar- '.y as much water as soil grains. Since the plant roots require air it is not desirable to have all tho soil pores filled with water; some free air space must be left, hence drain- age becomes necessary. There, are three ways that water may bo lost; first by run-off, second- ly by drainage, and thiidly by eva- poration. Of Ihese three the greatest is evaporation. It may amount to half the total rainfall. As long as the soil is wet in the spring wo want all these at work, but as soon as the soil is dry enougli for cultivation we want the losses cut oft. And cultiv- ation is the only direct means by which thi.'j can be done in summer. Cultivation should begin just as early aa the soil is dry enough. To delay one week may cause the lusa of as much as 1 % inches of water, and this is as tiuich as falls in the month of April, a very serious master when tho needs aie so grsat and the supply so limited. In the fall of ttie year cullivaliou should be deep to increase absorption and retention of water; in the spring shallow, In order to produce a dry layer of soil on the . surface to cut oH evaporation. â€" Prof. W.

Urasshoppera may be easily and cheaply controlled by poisoning with the bran luUture, which is made as tollows: 20 Iba. bran, 1 lb. Paris green, '/& gal. molaa»eu, 'i gals, water, Z or 3 lemons. The bran and Paris green should be mixed thorouglily together when dry. This should be done the night before using. In the luorniug SQiico;ie the Juice of the lemons into tlie water, run the pulp and rind through a meat chopper and add this and the molasses to the water.

It is important to attend to this matter as early in the season as the young grasshoppers arc noticed, and not to wait till they grow big and have caused a considerable amount of damage. The same means may be employed tor the control of cufworuis, making the application wherever the worms are observed Just before dark In the evening. â€" L. Caesar, U.S.A., Provin- cial Untomologtsl. C* I' When Edward, Prince of Wales â€" eager, bright eyed, smiling and sincere â€" arrived in Canada in August, and when he voiced his great admiration of the v/onderful achievements of Canadians, on the fields of battle and at home, once again we were thrilled with joyous pride. He asked concerning Canada's reconstruction pro- gramme, and when he was told of the Victory Loan 1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat of Arms on a flag, which is to be the prize of honour for districts achieving their quota in the loan. In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on Labor Day, His Royal Highness said in part "It is a great joy to rne to be associated with the loan, which is the bridge bet'.veen war and peace, and which is finishing off the job." , "I hope every city and district will win my flag." Striking, and beautiful in design, this flag will form not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a lasting and outstanding souvenir of the visit of His Royal Highnessâ€" a visit which will remain as one of the most memorable events in Canada's history. The reproduction above shows the design of the flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper left band corner ii the Union Jack, and in the lower right hand corner t!ie Prince cf Wales' Coat of Arms. The flag is made in two sizes, 4 feet 6 inches by feet for Esnall cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet Ly 13 feet G inches for cities of over 10,000 population. Canada has been divided into canvassing districts by the Victory Loan Organization. Each city forms one district. Other districts have been determined ••â- â- .â- c :rding to population. r^ach of these canvassin;' districts has be«« allotted n certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell. To win the Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its allotment. That is thfc one and simple condition. Anticipating that many districts will buy far beyond their allotment, the organization decided that ior each twenty-five per cent, excess of the quota one Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded. Thus the workers in a district doubling its quota will be the proud win- ners cff-'T small crests for their Honour Flag. These crests will be sewn to tlie flag. The Prince's Crest â€" the three ostrich plumes â€" is L-hov;n at the top of lIic coat of arms. To every organization with fifty or more em.pioyees, where seventy-five per cent, of the enroliment invests a total of ten per cent, of the arinual payroll in Victorj' Bonds, a supplementary Prir.ce of Wales Flc.g ".n smaller form â€" 48 inches by 34 inches â€" will ht awarded. The allotm.ent for each district has been carefuiiy considered, and is based on a conservative estir-iate oi the purchasing power cf the district. Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her share. You will gladly do your i>art and encourase your neighbour to do his. Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that decides whether or not your district is to be the proud possessor of the Prince's Flag. The Prince's Motto is ''I Serve' Will You also Serve?
