It was to be brave and new; and while its bravery cannot be ques- tioned. the like cannot be said of its newness. In the mass the peo- ples of the world have not dia- carded their old trait - selfish- ness. Even in their the geoples’ representatives bold to “t e good (‘i’) old rule. m0 simple plan, That he shall keep who has the power, and he shall take who can." From selfishness spring strikes, riots. rebellions, and the lust for power, and, however provoked or justified, in all these acts lies the germ of future civil or international wars. I see the nations bulldinfl "D blocks to add to their strength in putee. and it needs only the ad- vent of a conscienceless dictator to throw them into action and to -destrcy what remains of: our civ- ilisation.

Christ had a name for those who pretended to keep the letter and neglected the spirit of that Law; and though it ls the custom of the present day lo treat His ocnsures as if they did not exist. there is an ananke. fate. or if you will, Providence, that over- takes those who fail to heed them. All our good deeds will not avail us if we do not rid ourselves of selfishness. Address Wanted I have received a packet of documents and interesting memoranda relating to P. E.

The term Amaryllls covers s number of genera of plants. hav- ing, in general. strip-slumped leaves spring from s large bui- bous root, and bearing several large, lily-like, white, pink, rose red or purvple flowers on a solid from the centre of , is the bull: about mldlummer. I have plants," being of South African origin. One of these is the Scar- borough Llily Vallota speciosa (or Aimaryllis of some growers) which has scarlet flowers. I had some bulblets given to me a few years ago and have been fairly success- ful in their cultivation. Like oth- er South African perennials, they have their resting stage but I do not move them out of the plant- pot. When the weather gets warm enough I bury the pot level with the soil in the garden, and rake it into the houseagsin before frost comes; a rough method which has given quite good results. However, I am behind the times; growers in the U. S. A. have lately devised a new method. In May the plants are taken out 0f the pots and planted, six in- clzes apart. in a specially prepared trench. The trench is 9 or‘l0 inchw deep. has four inches oi cow manure and two inches of soil over that. The roots are spread out carefully; if injured there will be no flowers the next season. Then the trench is filled in, completely covering the bulbs. Before hevay frosts set in. the bulbs are dug. any clinging soil is removed, and they are stored in shallow boxes to dry and cure. This process may take place in a cool room or even a basement. As soon as the leaves are dry and withered they are cut off. as are all long "necks". Then the boxes are placed in a storeroom where the temperature hovers round about 50 degrees F. - After the middle fo February all the old withered roots are cut off and the bulbs are potted in rich porous soil. The diameter cf the pot never exceeds that of the bulb by more than one inch. and it never makes any difference to the blooming of the bulbs wheth- er perched on top of the soil or covered lo their necks. It is claimed that this method produces “spikes" of bloom 30 inches high, which may require staking! For such blooms I should be inclined to use pots a trifle larger than those recommended. The potted bulbs are given a soaking of warm water and kept in a warm place till the leaves Show. (behind the kitchen range vrlll do), after which they are removed to a sunny window. Carrots Have Virus Disease I sowed a row of carrots in the Karden. (for it is convenient to have vegetables on hand when needed), and a couple of rows in the field for fall storage. Those in the field have deep-green. sturdy foliage and large. well-shaped roots. Those in the garden have stunted foliage of an unhealthypale green color-almost yellow. in fact. When the roots are dug, they are about half the size they should be. and what is worse, they are closely covered with a mass of finc threadlike rootlets that make them difficult to scrape. These have a virus disease called “Yellowsfl, and up to the present there ls no remedy for it, once it manifests f. ‘The "Yellows". (botanically known as Callistephus virus Li, attacks a good number of plants. China Aster (callistephus. from which it is named), Scotch Mari- gold, (Calendula), Phlox Drum- mondl, Oxeye or Field Daisy. Fall Dandelion, Bmad-lesved Plantain. Annual Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron). Coreopsis, Cosmos, Dahlia, Galli- u-rdia. Schizapthus and French Marigold, are all victims: vide the "Canadian Plant Disease Survey I944," just to hand. I may add that I have often observed it on the Pineapple Weed (Matrlcaria) growing in the barnyard, the Golden Gleam Nasturtium. and the Italian Broccoli. It will be noticed that the "Corn- poslte" flowers, (like the Dahlias. Calendulas and so on), are very susceptible to the disease, though it attacks other groups. In all cases the flowers are stunted and deformed, and the petals, instead of being properly colored, show much green. I had a. nice collec- tion of Pompon Dahlias at one time, but when the “Yellows" struck them, I gave up. There was no doubt in my mind that the "infection" came from adjacent Fall Dandelions. and was carried by some kind of insect. In the Survey alluded to above, there is a note by Plrof. R. R.‘ Hurst: "By spraying these plants daily at dusk with strong Black Leaf 40 I am able to avoid most of this trouble in dahlias and to some extent in other plants" This the "first ray of light" that I've seen in connection with this trouble: it is that ounce o.‘ pro- tection which, according to the adage. is worth a pound of cure.

The poet was well acquainted with natural science. and wrote of in graceful language, not too difficult for a child to understand: hence my youthful preference. Evangeline was one of my fav- orite poems and for a lonl: time I believed in the story cf that hap- less maiden implicitly. Later years have shown me that she had no " r‘ l existence. Doubtless in- stances. similar to those described by the poet, occurred. but thcrc l! no authentic narrative of such. nor is anything known of the in- divlduality of the exiles. Sutherland, in 1861. gives some account of the deportation. “From the settlement of Iialifax in 1749 till Great Britain declared war against France, in 17b6, the Eng~ Zish colonists in Nova Scotia were engaged in a series of petty con- flicts with the Acadians and Ind- ians. A year before the declara- tion of war, when both parties in Europe were eagerly preparing for it. tlre- Government in Nova Scc tin deemed it absolutely necessary to remove the Acsdlans from the country. A large number was actually removed and dispersed through the other English col- onies. Many escaped to the woods and eventually either remained in the country, or made their-sway to Cape Breton on this Island." Many historian-s. Parkman, Ray- nal, Bronriey.
