rad ANGLO-SAXON cuwolvrcfw (Concluded)

In 9'15 A.D. Edgar, Kin: oi’ Wes- sex, "Mercia ‘and Northumbrla died. lifter reigning sixteen years. Six Kings were tributary to him, and in spite of the yearly inroads of ‘the Danes, his reign may be regard- ed as one of the more notable of Che Qaxon times. The ancient writ- er is‘ inspired to write a tlirenody which rises to a. higher level than the terse, lnatter-of-fact statements so usual in the Chronicle.

“Ikre ended his earthly dreams Ethos‘, of Angles King: chose him other light. serene and lovely. spurnillg this frail abode. a life that llortals here call Lean he quit- ted with disdain. July the month, by all agreed 1n this our land, who- ever yvcne ill chronic lore corrcrtly taught; the day the eighth, when Edgar Young, rewarder of herccs. his llfe~his throne-resigned." Tile year is nlarkcd by the appearance of a comet, which is blamed for the famine that follows; "Then, too, was seen, high in the heavens, the star in his station, that far and wide wise men call—lcvers of truth and heavenly lore-comets by name. Widely was spread God's vengeance

then‘ throughout the land, and famine scoured the hills," Portland was plundered, and

[london burnt by the Danes in 962. BY 891 the terror of these sea-rob- ber; was so great that ArChbishop Birlc-advised the King to “pay trib- ute” to them. “That was ﬁrst l0.- 000 pounds." The Danes virre back next year! Cornwall, Devon and South Wales were raided ill 99'! “and there was much evil wrought ln burning and mnllsiaugllterjThp raiders burnt Liclford (Lideford) and the mlnster or church at ‘ravis- tock. (Lidford is thpshaboutwgng thousand years old-which must in- terest our Devonshire friends.)

I! 1013 the country had been so over-run that when Kinrswegen (Sweyne) of Denmark came with his fleet to Sandwich the people submitted without a blow being struck. Sweynes progress through- out the land was unopposed and‘ King Ethelred fled to Normandy, l. journey that was destined fn the long run, to overthrow the Saxon rule. The Danish King died early in 1014, and his son Knut (the Danute of the story-books) became ruler cf England. To unite the two dynasties l1» married. tile widow of King Ethelred, and excepting for the imposition of very heavy terms, the chronicle is loud in his pxiase: he seems to have been just to both Saxons and Dulles.

On the death of King Kniltfn 1086 the nobles north u! the Thames elected his son Harold as their rul- er; a trace of this procedure i5 still to be found in our coronation cere- mony. Ear! Godwin opposed the resolution, as did the "eldest. men"- in Wksnex, but without effect. Har- old reigned only “four years and

brother llardincnllte was asked to rule: but his admirers soon chang- ed their opin=ons “for he framed nothing royal during his whole reign." He ordered the dead Hamid to be drugged up and thrown into a ditch." Hi5 reign, luckily for his people ‘was short an his end just what might be expected: “A.D. 1042: This year died King Hardco- nllte at Lambeth. as he stood drink lng: he fell suddenly to the earth with a tremendous struggle; but those‘ who were night at hrmd took him up; and he spoke not a word afterwards but expired on the sixth day .- . . ‘and ere he was buried all people chose Edward for King in London." This wns the old Anglo- Baxon line restor-zd, and it is evi- dent that. though preference was naturally (and. appropriately) given to hereditary claims. the monarchy at that time. and lolv: afterwards, was in principle elective. ‘maidens-- of divine rind indefcasible right, or of hﬂedltary claim, are modern in- povatlcns.

Edward had spent o. long time in Nonnalldy and liked the Norman ways. Where he could. without of- fending his subjects overmuch, he brought in Norman advisms and ecclesiastlcs, and thus opened the door jto the Norman conquest of England in 1066. We have now got to a period which is treated at great length in the Chronicle. but as the narrative lms been very extensively drawp upon in the construction of our odcrn text-book; of history, it is no necessary to weary the read- er by repetition.

In ‘conclusion we may reﬂect. as does the collator and translator of the manuscripts, that “the yoxon

the Saxon language, almost melted into modezn English, in the year 1154. From this period almost to the Reformation, whatever know- ledge we have of Ole affairs 0! England has been originally deriv- ed either from the semi-barbarous ljatirl of our countrymen, or. from the French chronicles. of Mois- sart and others."

PLANT A TREE!

In a most lflte’resting' letter, my valued correspondent, Mr. Ludiow Jenkins of Morshfleld, puts forward the suggestion that we all plant a tree on the occasion of the King's Jubilee. The ides. is a__c_apital one, for it can be carried out without any great expense, and will add to the interest and beauty of our lur-

Jack Miner League with the incep-

the tree be called the "King's Jub- ilee Tree." The letter goes on:

“By the way, wouldn't it b: a good idea to have a smlll tablet put on. the tree planted by King Edward VII when Prince of Wales?

Henry Longworth, now owned by Mr, Lincoln wood. It is an, Ameri- cnn linden (or lime-tree) and is now over two feet in diameter and. about sixty feet in height. It is a beauti- ful tree and still looks young in spite of its seventy-five years. Few people of the present day are aware of its existence, much less of its location, and, if it is not marked in some way it will doubtless soon be forgotten by everyone. Camp- bells history of Prince Edward Is- land says: “In the afternoon His Royal Highness took another ride into the country, making a. brief halt at the farm of Mr. H. Long- wvorth which was for the purpose of planting this tree. although ‘thﬁ historrdoes-not-say-sm-n- . “At the same time the oak tree planted by the present Prince of Wales, when on hi3 visit to ‘the I5- land E7€w‘yefr's"aizo?"'srmuld~s1so- be marked. This is tn the-grounds of the Charlottetown-Experimental Station. The oak was procured from Mr. J. Walter Jones ‘of Bunbury, and being planted at a very un- seasonabletlme of the year. for quite a while it owns undecided whether to live or die: but thanks to tender nursing and" many pun- cheons of wafer. it decided to live and is now growing handsomely!“ "I am glad to see that the bird sanctuary» at Black. -Pcnd, is going to be a reality at last. Our mutual friend Mr. J. Frank Stems, of ‘Sourisrdeeewes -part;-of_ the credit, for his advocacy of the matter. "You would notice in The Guard- ian of April 23rd, a letter from Mr. Neil McKenzie, of Broderick, Sash, in which he makes reference to an account of the Riel Rebellion" as {men in The Family Heroic, and to an Islander. Sergeant J. Martin, who was one of the party that made a perilous escape down the Sas- katchewan river from Fort Pitt to Battleford. Mr. McKenzie says he was informed that sergeant Mar- tin was in reality a man named Mitchell and that after nu retire- merlt-he lived for some time at New Dominion. sergeant Martin's name was J. Martin Mclptosh, and not Mitchell, but he enlisted twelve years before the rebellion uflder the flame of J. A. Martin.

“The Guardian of Sept. lst, 1930. giwrs an account of the early trek to the Nprtil-West as told by Ser- geant Martlnvand written by my- self: he enlisted in Toronto On Oct. 8th, 1873, and started next day for Winnipeg. The Red River was reachci on Halloween, but the ice was making and the ferry boat‘ cotlld-not-run that day; but next day all hands with horses and equipment crossed on the ice.

Space forbids to tell of the hardship; of the first winter or the years following. The article closeswith the following note: “Stat!

Seed Treatments For The Control

. ( m farms Note) ' Since i019 approximately I0 mil- lion bushel; of smutty wheat have been shipped florn Weafnrn Canada. ‘This represents a loss in market value. dfe to reduction in undo alone, of about $32,000,000, and u total loss from bunt during this por- iod probably in excess of 810,000,000, In Prince Edward Island loose smut of wheat and loose smut; of oats are very destructive; Irl 10M wheat loose smut was widespread through the province; a tram to 55 per cent of the head; was destroy- ed by smut, while on the avenge, 10 per cent of the heads wu aﬂoat- ed. similarly it has been found that loose smut of oats causes an annual loss of at least 5 per-oent-ln Prince Edward Island. How is this problem of smutty firiiin to be mot by the farmer? ‘llze-l-c i_=, only one answer-coed treatment-the treatment of ‘all ‘seed grain. even if it appears to be clean. Is it sound business to risk losing several dollars per acre by neglecting a. treatment which coats only about 5 cents per acre? There are many different kinda of smuts, but in considering meth- ods of seed treatment, it is only necessary to separate the smuts 1n- to two groups. In the first group the spores are carried on the outside of the seed grain. To this group belong bunt of wheat. covered smut of barley and the loose and covered smut: o! oats. During threshing, spores of these smuts are carried mler the outside of the sound grain. When such seed is sown the following spring the smut spores germinate by sending out very fine threads which grow into the young seedlings. Dur- ing the summer the smut continues to grow within the plant and at harvest time it produces a mass of brown spores inside the seeds. In threshing. some of the spores. are $188111 dusted over the sound groin and thus the smut. iscarrled over from year to year. Formalin is the most commonly used fungicide for the control of ‘tlnzse smuts by thefollowing" mﬂrv od: Place the grain on the granary floor or in a. wagon boxyand spread it out in a low pile about 4 inches deep. Sprinkle the formallrrsolu- tion over the grain, then shovel the grain into u fresh pile and sprinkle again. Repeat this process until each kernel is moist. Thirty gallons of solution will treat about 50 bushels of grain. Heap the Brain into a pile and cover it with bags moiet- ened with the treating solution to keep in the fumes. Ibeave the grain, covered for at least four hour! bo- fore seeding. Formalin-treafed grain -must be sown soon after it is treat- ed, and not allowed to dry out oar some of the seed will be injured. Two other effective fungicides are the dusts. Copper carbonate and Ceresan. The former may be used against wheat bunt md covered smut on hulless oats‘, (2 ounces per bushel), while Ceresan (1-2 ounce pel- bushel) gives splendid control of all the smuts of this group. In fact, hullrss oat varieties. such as Liberty and Laurel, should not. be

a year and a half ago. ‘used 90 years “A short time before his death the R..C.M.P. at Charlottetown 0b- tained a great deal of data from him, regarding the early days of the force: he being the only one living who hm made that mom- orable journey, and he was able to supply much desirable information which was not on record at head- quarters.”

5o ends my correspondents let- ter, and readers will join with me in thanking Mr. Jenkins for‘ the most interesting information ‘it contains. The two trees certainly deserve tablets, and if the secret- ary of thc Jack Miner League of PEI, approaches the "Historical Sites Dept." there is no doubt that they will get them,

In the second group c! smuts to which belong the loose smut of wheat and the loosp smut of bar- ley, the spores BNJIOC enclcsed. W‘ form a mas; of blackish-brown powder as the smutted heads emerge from the sheath. ‘These spores are blown away by the wind arid some lodge within the flowers of healthy heads of wheat orbarley. There they germinate by sending out ﬂm threads which grow ‘into the-young kernel. The smut is now establish- ed ln the seed, which appears to be perfectly normal. However, when one of: these slfiutbed-éeeds is sown the following spring the smut also becomes active land enters the young seedling. grows within the plant during the summer, and fin- lily converts the heads on the smutted plant into black spore masses. Tile spores are carried away to repeat the process by infecting other healthy plants. These smuts living as they clu within-the seed cannot be controlled by treating the seeds with chemicals. Thu only satisfactory method of controlling the loose smuis of wheat and bar- ley is by the use of the hot wafer treatment. '

The method of this treatment for wheat and. barley is as follows: Place about half a. bushel of grain in a burlap bag; soak for 4 hours in oold water; then dip for obcut 2 rnlfllltes in water at" about 120 deg. F. so as to warm the grain: then place the bag for 10 minutes in water kept during the treatment as nearly as possible at 130 des. 1'2: take the bag out and place it in cold water for a few minutes; then spread the grain out to dry. It may be seeded as soon as it will run through the drill; but if it is to be kept for some time before seedinc. it should be allowed to dry out thoroughly, otherwise it will sprout. Further information regarding seed treatments may be obtained from the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Charlottetown, P.E.I.. or the Division of Botany, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, Canada. .

W. K. Rogers‘ ranch at Killlock which is managed by his m,‘ Major Tom Rogers, is having g very successful p. ‘action n11; year, which will be good news to their many friend's. Talking om old times with W. Kn we asked him if he had any records of u“, big prices he had received im- pelts. He fished in his pockets and brought out two postcards, One be. lug an account sales from Alfred Fraser, New York, dated August, 22nd, 1916, for one silver fox skill ztlllgﬂat 81,300 with net proceeds of

ill‘. Rogers the some you mid two pelts from year-old foxes 1t a thousand dollars apiece. "I w member very well looking at them as pups." he said. "They were so small that I told Mr. Gard I did not think they would ever be any good, but he took good care of them and canted them through the winter-and the next year they had improved so much that we knew they would be Bwd Delis."

Another interesting account sales received from Lampsons by Mr, Rogers had reference to the sale on the 11th of June, 1919, 0f 24 silver fox pelts. The two highest brought £180 each and two others brought £176 each, tho average for the 24 being $350.

Mr. Raoul Raymond, Honorary President of the Charlottetown Riding Club, had many compli- mentary references made to him at the, annual meeting of that body held a few days ago. Mr. Raymond is Prince Edward Island's largest breeder of silver foxes, having over 1,000 pairs in his ranch at ﬁouthport. Last season he had an eorcellent production no doubt will be equally successful this year.

Itlsapleasureforulalltom Mr. Raymond doing so well, be- cause every enterprise that makes for the public good has in him n warm friend and supporter, As our readers know he is contributing to the horse bNedlhl industry through the purchase of a msg- nificent thoroughbred stallion, and has raced several good trottcrs and pacers and possesses some beautiful saddle horses. We hope later on to have an interview with him and get some facts which we can use in these columns.

In last night's mall we‘ received a sample of whale meat meal made of the meat of the whale, fmm Btavanger Foderabrlk, Stavenger, Norway, the analysis of which looks good. The letter which ac- companies it is in English and states the merchandise is very fresh, being manufactured aboard a floating whaling station in the Antarctic as soon u the whales have been captured. The price de- livered at Quebec, Halifax or Saint John, packed in new bags of 80 kilos, is $10.00 per hundred. A kilo in about equal to two pounds so that the concentrated whale meat would cost about five cents per pound. .
