Choral So- ciety and have secured "Rowe's Hall" as their meeting place. They had previously met at a. private house, and it is felt that the change to the Hall will result in an in- creased membership. lidr. R.

Mr. Roberts has the advantage oi a good know- ledge of the Tonic Solis System of vocal music as well as a conside able acquaintance with the Staff notation; and knowing him as I do, I fee-l sure that he will give the Society of his best, and will not spare himself in imparting the necessary instruction. 1 rejoice to see the young io‘k cooperating in such a cause and wish them every success as they thus add another cult-uzai interest to their lives.

We bored holes at intervals with a half-inch bit, and insened a "charge" of the chemical. Then we fitted a. cork tightly into the hole and washed the trunk well to re- move any loose chemical. The reas- on for this was that we thought the chemical might prevent the bark from closing the wound. lwhen all was dry a coat oi paint was ap- plied. which is always a good pre- caution totake when the “skin" oi a tree is broken. The fungi (toad- stools) died out and the tree was saved. It had been affected by some sort of blight on the twigs and leaves, and for two or three years this was absent, but gradually came back, probably coming from some near-by tree, I saw these trees "ten years ago and they were still v FENCING CONTEST IN CANADA Early in the Spring cf this year 1 I read that the City of Winnipeg was to have a fencing contest dur- ing the summer but I saw nothing more about it in the newspamrs, :0 one cannot say whether 0r no it came off. The fencing here speci- fied meant swordsmanship and 0i course included the use of fencing foils, and it is noteworthy that i since women were "emancipated," some of that sex have made very respectable swordswomen. Walking is, in my opinion, and in that of thousands of my fcrmer compatriots, the best form of exer- cise that can be indulged in. Next to that I put fencing. Either oi them calls every muscle into action. but whereas walking may be as leisurely as you peasc, fencing requires an alertness 0i mind and eye. besides auppleness of limbs, and rapidity of response. In many respects it resembles boxing, but is without its debasing tendencies. The writer had some experience oi this pastime, when s. group of youngsters, mostly aged seventeen or thereabouts, used to meet on a lummefs evening, for a bout at “singlesticksf A slngiestick, if one may use the singular, is an ash sapling, about three feat long. and scarcely as thick as a man's finger. The thicker end of the "stick" was inserted into a basket-hilt, so that it rather resembled the Highland olaymore. There we:e also, for those who could afford it, various pieces of deenrive "armor," the chief ofwhich was a sZIOng wicker he‘met, with a face-guard or heavy wire mesh. We couldn't afford it, so faced our opponents with the singlestick, which like King Jame's weapon. "was both sword and shield."

Domin- lqn Depjirtmellt or Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Canadian Wool sheep raising is an important phase of live stock production in all the provinces or Canada. Since i913 a great deal of attention has been given to improving the qllfll- ity of Canadian wool and the man- ner- or it; preparation for market. Propaganda has betn mainly dir- ected to securing improvement in the preparaLion of fleece wool for market. Tub washing of wool and the washing of wool on the sheep have been discouzaged. Today prac- tically all wool sold commercially in Canada is “in the grca-e“ and the fleeces are rc‘led and tied in- tact as they are shorn. Ano.her im- portant feature of the educational work is the emphasizing oi the im- portance oi keeping fleeces ir_ec from chaff and seeds. This entails better housing accommodation and greater caze in feeding. Although there has been a great chance in the quality oi omestlc woals, there is room for further improvement, says A. A. MacMillan, in the bulle- tin on Canadian wool. grad ng, and marketing. just issued by the Do- minion Department oi Agriculture.

A medium for carrying on this work, the Prairie Farm Re- habiliation Act provides for the es- tablishment 0f District Experiment Sub-Stations. These Sub-Stations are located in problem areas, prin- cipally in the south ,and bentral portions of the three Prairie Pro- vinces, where hardships and finan- cial loss have resulted from varying hazards to crops, community wide in their extent. Up to the present time thirty-nine District Experi- ment Sub-Stations have been es- tablished on varying soil types, and an active programme of work has been instituted. As a broad objec- tive the procedure aims to develop a system of farming with as high a degree of permanency as may be possible, a system that may be adaptable to farming areas where grain farming is prlncipall being followed, with limited rain all and on soils subject to drifting. The system. oi cropping based primarily on strip farming with its accompanying necessary cultural practices and short crop rotations. The two year rotation of fallow, wheat alternating has been most widely laid down, although in cer- tain sections where the annual pre- cipitation warrants such a pro- cedure, a three year cropping sys- tem of two crops oi grain after fallow is being followed. The cereal crop isbeing gown on these short ro- taticns varies in keeping with the individual need and aims to pro- duce wheat primarily as the cash crop, at the same time to grow oats and other cereals as forage, thus building up feed reserves as an as- surance against the possibility of recurring short crop years and the resulting winter feed shortage which is frequently experienced, The width of strips vary from eight to sixteen rods, depending on the soil type and its past history with respect to soil drifting or wind erosion. The effect of cover crops and the use of manures and chemi- cal fertilizers is also under experi- mentation and study as to their effect on controlling soil drifting.

The garden area is being divided into two sections so that each year cropping will take place on summer fallow land. A sufficiently large area is being set aside for this pur- pose to make the use of horse equipment possible as a. labor saving procedure in farm garden- mg.

As a supplement to the permanent pastuze, as the season advances and growth becomes slower, provision is being made for supplementary pas- tures, and an area is being seeded down to fall rye as well as to spring grain. In the study of drought and soil drifting problems on Sub-Stations, very special attention is being given to the methods of handling the summer fallow. Tillage practices being‘ directed to permit a lumpy surface and to retain as large a portion as possible of stubble and other forms of vegetation on the surface.

To be effective in studying such a problem as that of soil drift- ing, a fair sized unit is necessary and for such an area up to 04o acres is that utilized in Sub-Station work. The District Experiment Sub- station is a community developed organization and aims to study and work with farmers in these dis- tricts for their mutual benefit so that sound practices and those most likely to succeed under such conditions may become general in their application.
