, "if we get back to normal con‘ ditions," Mr- Bennett asserted. uijiere are two things that are es- nntiii for the maintenance of our isimmercial life, and one is that s0 [n- ss possible there should be uni- qormity with respect to the incor- pintion of companies as between ills Dominion and the Provinces- ;Wlitn I say uniformity, I mean ,iili52 That a company denied in- corporation on application-to the secretary of State's omce here. amid not go to rlme other office tin s Province and obtain all the ‘powers and more, asis frequently the case, that were soughtifor in the federal depaiitmelltl‘ .

NEW FEAT-OFF METHODS _

New hockey play-off methcdswill be proposed at the annual meeting of the National Hockey League. The idea is to have the second and third teams play off two games on the ice of the second team, total goals to count, the survivors to meet in the ilnai 8 out of ii. The Montreal Star says: “Had such a game» been in operation at the end of the win- fer, Montreal would have played two games at Toronto. The surviv- ors would then have played Canad- iens at Montreal; Detroit in‘ Chicago with the survivors meeting Rangers at New York. It gives teams the necessary incentive to keep whip- ping through the season and would prevent any loaflng by ~ a strong team reasonably making third place.”

PRUNING TO GET GROWTH

- An average. production of 4% boxes of apples iper tree in the r" Valley is not enough in‘ the opinion of M. S. Middleton of , Vernon. It could easily be doubled by judicious pruning, irrigation, fertilizing and spraying. In most orchards the pruning has received more attention than the fertilizing. The main object should be to keep the limbs well spaced and the tree sufficiently open to allow for good, strong, spur growth and to encourage good color in the fruit. Seine heading back of the spur! and branches may have to be practised in old trees which are heavily spurred.

when atree isfound tobe making very little fzerminal growth it is usuallyhlthardv irtpruning with the idea of encouraging its growth. The ‘length and thickness or sturdiness oftlle terminal growth is always a good indicator as to how the tree is performing and the endeavc in pruning and cul- tural practices should always be to maintain a fair growth, usually five to ten inches of a terminal growth is sufficient. _'1‘rees making less growth than this need attention in fertilisation, water, or in some eth- er way to correct this condition.

NEW YUR-K. N. Y. May 2--Mias Nancy Cunard, daushter of the "British shipping family, announced ‘today she _hnd been disinlierlted by her mother for associating with negro artists.

Miss Cunard, 3d years old and blue, returned from a week end trip to Boston today to resume res- idence at a Harlem Hotel patronized by negroes and to continue her study of the African race for pur- poses of writing an anthology,

“Lady Cunard objected to one of my friends-a gentleman of color," she said in a statement ready for publication. "She bad detectives on rne in London because I knew a bronze skin. Of Course she had me cut off and disinherited, but hasn't the courage to say so."

'Flllllk€d by a painter and a negro novelist, she went on to say that, "I love everything that has come out of Africa" and to describe her mother as “an American of a cer- tain type."

“If you delve into ‘atavism span- ning the Atlantic,’ she said, "you will find that one of my ancestors toward 1600 signed the anti-slavery protest in Pennsylvania."

Miss Cunard is the daughter of the late Bach Ciulard and Lady Cunard, the former Maude Alice Burke, oi’ New York and California, She came to the United States as a third-class passenger from Paris recently and repifred to the negro hotel to be close to her subject of writing.

$20,000 Action

TORONTO, May 2—(By the Can- adian Pressl-Under a writ issued at Osgcodc Hall here today William G. Paton of Toronto, gave notice of an action for $20,000 against George B. Jones, who recently re- signed his seat for Royal, N. 8., in the House of Commons. Paton ob- tained the writ under a section of the House cf Commons and Senate act by which the Conservative member for Royal was automatical- ly disqualified some time before he resigned his seat.

In severing his decade-long car- eer.as_a. member of the Commons some weeks ago, Mr. Jones said it had just come to his attention that

of the materials and strengths to be used. Serious injury may be caused if improper materials are applied or if care is not taken to make up proper strengths. There are numerous spray materials, un- der various trade names, but be- fore using them, farmers should know whether they have been tried out by the experimental stations, and if so. are they a -‘ -‘ Experimenting with new materials is sometimes very expensive for in- dividual growers and caution in this regard is advisable.

The third factor is that of time- liness and thoroughness of appli- cation. Sprays are effective by pre- venting infection and they can on- iy do this by being applied before periods of infection. The applications must be thorough as the spores or seeds of disease fun- gi are extremely minute and are capable of becoming established on very small areas of susceptible host parts. Falluer to cover all parts of the host plant therefore ‘may result in disease developing in spite cf spray practices.
