TOMATO PLANTS ROM SEED Towards the close of March and ‘early in April compost piles can be started using fresh stable manure alongside the hot-bed site. These piles should be turned and thor- oughly mixed/one week before they lare required {or use. Excavations for the beds can be made 2% feet deep and 7 feet by 7 feet, and the compost filled in and solidly pack- lcd to the level of the ground. The ,6 foot square hot-bed frame is set ‘on the ccntre of the compost which leaves a one foot margin to be banked over with earth during cold l

Soda measuring 18 inches by 12 inches and cut two ‘inches thick are placed in the frame ,sod side down and spaced ‘A inches jThese sods will carry the flats which are 4 inches by 18 inches by 12 inches and provided with drain- age holes. One-half inches of moss "or grass roots is placed in the hot- tom of each flat and on this is plac- ,ed soil made by sifting one part of leaf mould and sand with two parts -of rotted sod loam. to ovory three bushels of which has been added one peck of slaked lime. When the lsoil is pressed down the surface should be 1% inches from the top;

The conductors today receive anywhere from 82.50010 $4,000 a year, and even more. Loco. motive engineers received $4,000 or $5,000 a year. it is said ~that if these salaries are lowered the men will go on strike and business will be held up. But the railway depart- ment is the wrong place to go to ask for a decrease in railway of- ficials‘ salaries. These salaries car- tainly should be reduced. and tho remedy, iMr. Saunders lbalieved, was to establish a central Canadian nat. lonal school ot‘ instruction where training in telcgraphy, engineering, etc.. could be given with a. vicw to overcoming the possibility of a strike_ These students should be engaged 1ft) Iwork for a period of five yeans. and when salaries are re- duced. if a striike should occur, they can step right into their Jobs. 1f the railway department and the Government mean anything they should inaugurate some method whereby this plan could be carried out. lt would save at least one the countries in which consuls are third of the expenditure going on situated.

On the other hand there are many services which the Consulate service performs for the benefit of

Mayor, McKcnna the United Slates is the only gov- ernment which thinks enough of Prince Edward Lsland to send a Consul here. What does this ser- vice mean to the Province? it was established here in 1858. Accord- ing to a report of one of Mr. Moomaw's predeces-s a, $100,000 at that time had been expended, over receipts, by United States in maintaining the Consulate office at Charlottetown. Since then Mr. Moomaw figured it has cost an ad- ditional $50,000 over receipts. The Consul to whom he referred recom-

His Worship Mayor McKonna. responding to the toast. "The City," spoke of the work curried on by tho Charlottetown Board of Trade since its inception about forty-five years ago. ‘In other days its efforts mater. ially assisted in getting the car ferry here. Between the City Coun- cil and the Board of Trade there has always been hearty cooperation and ‘the Board of Trade now re lievee the Council of many lbusiucss matters which previously it hud to

attend to. mended that the office be closed. Mr. Moomaws first impression of U. S. Consul Moomaw the island almost constrained him

to take n similar view, but after better acquaintance with the condi- tons here he believed the Govern- ment to be right in maintaining the office. Certainly if conditions continue as they are at present there would he no recommenda- tion coming from him advising the closing of the office at Charlotte- town. The taking away of the of- fice hcrc would put shippers to ad- ditional expense and trouble in making American shipments. and goods in many cases would be re- turned by the customs .offlcers where regulations were imperfect-

U.

The Board is a local organization to los. ter trade and bring about improve» ments in local conditions; the Gon- sular service is an Ofgflllllflllm whereby men are sent to foreigu ly carried out.

The name ‘consul" originated probably from the title 0f the chief magis- trate of the Roman Empdre.

The privileges of consular agents under integiational law and under treaties or conventions. were reviewed by Mr. Moomaw, who then spoke of the arduous duties of the service in the United States government. The service is admin- istered and is part of the Depart- ment of State.

The other grand division of ‘for- eign affairs, the diplomatic scr~ vico, is composed of men diirectly representing tho President oi‘ tho United States ‘to the nations to which they are assigned, dealing more with matters political, and to a less extent, with social affairs. The consular service is devoted more particularly to the ‘business and commercial rights of tho nat- ion. The duties of the two depart- ments overlap to a. large extent and tbs same instructions go out frequently to both.

The Consular service is adminis- tered by a Consular Bureau. head- ed by the Director of the Consular Service. |Slnce the reorganization of the service in 1908 it 1MB been put into Civil Service and operates stnictly on s merit lbasis. The thorough- tralning a-nd severe ex-

Mr. McEwen said that personally he was favorably disposed towards the proposed union. But in view of the differences of opinion that had developed. he thought the bill should be bcld over until next year. Mr. Saunders agre-cd with the sentiments of Mr. McEwen, but ex- pressed the opinion that, in all the circumstances the consideration of the bill should be proceeded with. Some progressives made with the bill when the committee rose at one o'clock.
