SWEDE TURNIPS

The trade for table stock swedes has increased rapidly and over a million bushels were shipped from Prince Edward Hand alone in i934. As a cash crop swedes have given a good return for the labour expended.

The varieties recommended are: Ditmars, Mettes Bangholm. Mill- pond ' and Howard's Improved. These are not resistant to clubxoot (Piasmodiophora brassicae.) Var- ieties that have Droven resistant t0 this disease are Wilhemsburger Al- tcftc and Bangholm Selected. Seed may be obtained from the Domin- ion Experimental stations in the Maritime Provinces.

Sweed turnips do best on a well drained sandy loam soil. It Should be prepared the previous autumn by ploughing down a liberal appli- cation of barnyard mflnllm- F" early table stock. the spring work should be started just as soon as the land can be worked into good tilth.

Makes Plea For Membership

Alter reviewing briefly. the estab-

lishment of the Canadian Legion by the late Earl Haig. President Hillion in the course of his remarks last night spoke as follows: , "To all who served in the Can- adian Corps it must be obvious why every veteran should become a member of the Legion. Though we are a non political body, very often we are called upon to assist a com- rade to secure a government ap- pointment or redress a grievance At such times the Legion should be able to speak with unity and the beckingpf many voices. The greater our numbers, the greater will be our influence on those who have the disposal of positions which veterans may seek.

"As the years go by, what I have yust said about unity and increased membership, ‘becomes increasingly necessary because as our late Corp! Leader said, "We belong to an army to which than can come no re- cruits." I wotfld like To add to that. that the Grim Reaper ls taking I-lis toll each year and we must close up the ranks. join the Legion and stick with it.\

"There are other reasons why veterans should support the Legion as regular members, and paramount amoung these is the duty all of us owe to disabled comrades. the wid- ows and orphans of those who did not return, and to those others who returned but through unfortunate
