The Prime Minister and the Gov- ernment of Britain, like the Prime Minister and Government of Canada, are living in troublous times, and whilejuat criticism of their acts is always in order, the men “ho have been entrusted with the reins of Gommment should not be treated with unfairness, as their task is a severe one.

Inspector Jordan in addressing the Board of Education a few even ings ago recommended that the Principals of High and Pnbl'c schools attend meetings of the Board so that trustees and teacher: keep in touch with each other, learn of each otter, and become better acquainted. The suggestion is certainly a good one. Complaints are sometimes circulated, and if Machers are present at Board meet ings they may be able to give an explanation that will be entire-1y satisfactory to the trustees, ard put an end to street gossip. Every lover of fair play was pleased tolearn that Lloyd George, the British I’rime Minister, gained a triumph over his enemies in Par liament and General Maurice who made charges casting reflections on the veracny of the Prime Minister, in connection with war information. 'Rxcmmw Mr. Alex. D. Bruce of Gormle) had an open letterto Hun N. W. Rowell in Monday’s Daily Star in which he charges the Union Gov ornment with breaking faith with the farmers on the question of con- scription. It cannot be denied that before the lust Dominion electinnr the Government gave a pledge that on the grOUnd of much needed pro~ duetion the farmers where needed wouldbe exempted from military service. 0t course the Government now claims that altered conditions make it neeessary to withdraw the pledge, This, Mr. Bruce says, is treated by the Government as a "5cm p of paper”.

Practice a rotation of crops. It scab is very bad it is not advisable to plant potatoes on the same land ottener than once in five years. Heavy applications of barn- yard manure should not be made to the potato crop, but it necessary giv- en at some other point in the rota- tion. Plant potatoes after clover sod if possible.

It i': a. 40 p.c. solution of tor- maldehyde gas and water. It can be purchased from almost any druggist. It is sold under the names of forma- lin and formaldehyde. u is import- ant that the purchaser, whatever name he buys it under, secured a. guaranteed solution of 40 p.c. for- maldehyde. Corrosive sublimate (mercuric chloride) can also be used to treat potatoes to prevent scab. Soak the uncut tubers for three hours in & solution or 2 ounces of corrosive sub- limate to 25 gallons of water. Cor- rosive sublimate is a deadly poison, and potatoes treated with it are ren- dered unfit for food for man or beast. After treatment spread the potaâ€" toes out on a clean floor or on the grass to dry. Wash all crates, bags, etc., which are used in handling the potatoes with the formalin solution. The same formalin solution can be used to treat successive lots or potaâ€" toes. Fifteeh gallons is suflicient to treat from 20 to 25 bushels if ordi- nary precautions are taken not to waste too much of the fluid as each lot of tubers is dipped. If the pota- toes are not all treated the same day it is advisable to make up tresh formalin for each day's work. For seed select smooth, sound po- tatoes, as free as possible from scan, and disinfect by soaking them before they are cut for two hours in a. solu- tion made by adding half a pint of commercial formalin to 15 gallons of water. A couple of barrels with plugs in the sides near the bottom can be used to advantage in treating the seed. The potatoes can be placed directly in the solution or first put in crates or coarse sacks and then im- mersed. The ground limestone rock is safe on any land in almost any quantity, and may be applied at any time of the year. On heavy clay soils quick lime, slaked before applying, may give quicker results; but it should not be applied to light sandy soils.

Potatoes Should Be Treated This Year to Control Scab. as the Sn"- cess of This Crop Is 0! the Utmost Importance In the Greater Pro- duction Campaign. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Axrlculturo. Toronto.) HE soils in many parts of the province are so depleted of their lime that their are be- coming sour or acid. TM; is an important fact as few, if any, of our farm crops can make their best growth on a. soil carrying an insufficient supply of lime. This is especially true of leguminous plants and it is probable that the frequent 'killing out." o: clover during the first winter is due to lack of sumcient lime. Lime acts in several ways. it neu- tralizes the acids formed in the soil through the decay of organic matter; it overcomes the tenacity of clay soils, binds sands together and thus improves the physical condition of bcth types 0: soil. Lime is not only an essential constituent oi’ the food of plants, but it also tends to lib- erate plant food, especially potash, from the insoluble forms in the soil, bringing them into an available state. The micro-organisms that live on the roots of the nitrogen-gathering plants cannot work in an acid soil, nor can some other tor-ms of organâ€" lsms whose function it is to gather nitrogen.
