lislsanoe In Japan

During the war Col. Sugaya and Col. I\'ur- imoto were officers in the Japanase Imperial Army. Now, according to a report from Tokyo, they ai'e \vriting poetry. This in it- self is nothing new; history has many re- cords of soldier-poets, some of them eminent ones. What makes Colonels Sugaya and I(urin\.oto distinctive is the nature of their poetic efforts: custom-made love letters. A routine letter, containing standard senti- ments common to love-sick swains the world over. and built in simple metre. costs forty- two cents; one which takes a bit longer to write on account of its extraordinary fer- vour and more polished style, sells for a half-dollar. Evidently, the poets are counting on small profits and quick returns.

i\"ot\vithstanding centuries of debate on the question it never has been decided which is the mightier instrument, the pen or the s\vord: but at a time when wars and rilmours of wars take up so much space in, the news that good poetry is often crowded out, there is something heroic as well as sentimental in this little item from Tokyo. Since all the world loves a lover. the two soldier-poets may expect good wishes to, pour in from many lands. It would be a pity, however, if the venture should turn

lem. Grains, particularly wheat, are pres- ently in surplus, and the national economy has. not yet become diversified that it can absorb without any noticeable shock the consequence of a slump in grain prices. The orderly marketing of wheat and other cereal crops is as important to the country as it ever was.

Only in enlightened-trade policies is the solution to these still only moderate diffi- culties to be found. Mr. Abbott insists that all industries should pare their costs and put themselves in a position to meet real competition from abroad. Otherwise, “if \ve were to meet every breath of new com- petition by increased protection we would certainly become a high cost economy and progressively aggravate our problems.”

Canada alone can't assure its own pros- perity. Policies of other countries directly affect this nation. Therefore if Canada is to hope to sell its own substantial surpluses of farm products abroad—a'nd so help turn the wheels of secondary industry at home-- it must be in the very forefront of the movement toward liberation of internation- al trading policies. Mr. Abbott's anxiety in

when it is recalled that he is a member of the Canada-United States committee of ministers on trade questions. This commit- tee recently expressed its formal belief that both countries should take great care in disposing of their accumulated farm sur- pluses (the reference applying even more to the U. S. than to Canada), and that the aim should be “to stimulate consumption. to augment. and not displace, normal

into world trade."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Josephine Elizabeth Butler, English author and social reformer, was born this

out to be a hugh financial success; in that case many others might go into it with tile result that before long the supply would‘ far outweigh the demand and prices would: have to go down. So would the quality of the poetry and it isn't pleasant to think of what that might mean to the future of romance in Japan.

Whatever the sh-. onister may ssy—lt has been saying some un- pleasant things since April came ln——the time of the year has come when the fancies of young and old turn to thoughts of lawns. hedges. and gardens.‘ Rakes are being re- moved from their winter hiding places: lawn mowers and shear: are being oiled and sharpened; water hoses are being examined for posslble.nnd almost certain. defects. From the ‘first sign of the Spring verdure until the early Autumn blight caring for the lawn will take precedence over many of the spare-moment tasks ir. town and country alike.

The popular view is that lawns clinnot be given too much atten- tion: the more they are mowed. rolled. raked. watered. the health- ltr and more attractive they will be. Many a man has got up early and stayed up late in order to make his lawn look more respect- ahle than it. was yesterday; is clip- ping here. a blade of grass out of place there, ii little unevenness somewhere else. are signs and symptoms of disarray which can- not be tolerated for one moment. What would the neighbours or Sunday afternoon visitors say? More often than not a man judged by the kind of lawn keeps.

Now comes a University profes- sor. s specialist in turf manage- ment. to say that I great deal of the care usually devoted to lawns is unnecessary and much of it is downright harmful. He says that only in extended drought periods (which rarely, if ever. occur in this part of the worldl should the lxose be used and, even then. one Rood. watering a week is quite enough. Too much water is as bad as too little; it takes up room intended for air and it may even drawn the grass roots. Daily wa- ii—‘l"nR is the weeds‘ best friend

and one of the griiss‘s worst enemies. As for raking.~no mean tssk

when one’: lawn is wide and long, i’. is a sheer waste of time. Clip- pings should be left where they fall from the mower; grass shouu never be cut closer than one and a half inches. Rolling could very well be done away with sltogeth. er; it serves little or no purpose. Presumably. it runs against Nat. fire which spprrently knows noth- ing of straight lines.
