A. BATES, Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY,-MARCH 24, 192?, The question of incorporation i.s ��������� again stirring- sonic citizens of this community, and it does seem a pity that this matter should not he gone into fully and soe just whfire wo stand. Last year tin* Board c������ Trade would not consider the question hut this year it does appcu* that the new blood in the Board area bit more ambitious' than some of the older members and at the last meeting some of the m ambers wero quite worked up over tho question. When the editor ol' this papor first , settled in Mission City one ol' his warnings was that the papor was not to talf incorporation as it was ,not considered by the largest property . owners in the best interests of tho community. Yet there were sonic in those days who thought that incorporation would be of advantage to . the town. But in. those days there were no . sidewalks and main street was more like a country road than-the principal street of a town. There was a little sidewalk on the street leading to the hospital from Grand Avenue and that was about ail there was in the whole burg. That summer-��������� 1,908���������the citizens got. up a pctilion and sent- it to the governnioni through!the local.representative, who during the'next few-years looked after the "matter pretty well,1 and- the Hon. Thomas Taylor, then- Minister of Public Works, made a personal visit to the town-to see that the walks were put down right. Later on the rock was put on Washington Street, and that it was well done, that the present ��������� -condition of, the road will indicate, for with a little supervision it is still in good . condition,-much better than the side- walksNare at the present time. They have not the supervision., from the government that "they should. Now .'the,question is, would the burg he.any better off- with incorporation as a.village than it is now? True'we'would be able to spend our own money, but could'and would it be spent to as' good advantage as - it. is now? Would' we getany more fur, the amount of taxes that we are paying? Would the commissioners F.oe to it that the money was spent'where it should be* of the : best advantage,- and would the citizens be any bettor satisfied-then than they are now'.' We could >ask* ourselves a lot mbr'.* questions like this,.and we would not know how it would be until we had tried/it: And after we had , tried.it, and were 'not satisfied, what would be the next step? People talk about taxation- now, what would it be should the thr^ee' commissioners' decide that they wan ted. twenty mills, the limit, instead.of . ten as at present? We . would shave to keep on going as we were or get in with the'municipality, and woiijcl the municipality take us in then" when we could not make our own affairs run smoothly? Incorporation is a matter ��������� that needs consideration from every point of-*view, and the'question' answered, would .we be. any better, off. spending the small amount of money at tea mills than we are now? It is a big question, and the principal promoters should bring forward the examples of some really successful small incorporations'. We all know some that are not successful, and they stand prominently -before us. Convincing the majority that incorporation would be of benefit would he half the battle. have had so many soup-kitchens. Have you not in the past dear reader known of men who were absolutely broke when the winter came along, but who did not ask the help of. any city, being perhaps too proud- to do so. We have heard of men, and knew men who worked for the winter for their board and some clothes, probably with-some farmer or at some other occupation. Now it is differen*-, in-many cases. There is always plenty of work to do even in hard times, and we believe a man is more independent working than loafing, even if the working is not to his liking However our sympathy goes ,out to the poor fellow who is hungry and ,cold, and perhaps" after all it is' that same feeling that, makes provision for the unemployed during the winter. If the milk of a red cow drunk by afchild makes the child red-headed when it grows up, no ( wonder there are so many gray people with the tlolstein giving so much good milk. Many people talk of a drum-tight Sunday. Would that mean that we do not talk about, our neighbors' affair on Sunday? They tell us that Ottawa is' full of those who have been "life-long" Liberals all seeking a job frorii the government. It is over ten years' since the Liberals had full sway for the government jobs, but since tho Union government came into power we thought that they had about equal chances, or in some cases better chances with Calder than the Conservatives1. We know-of some Liberals who did well under the Conservative government. Howevei .to tlie victor belongs- th'j spoils and maybe the. farmers will have all the good. * jobs in a few years', and we tguess some of them could stand it too. " (ing $2,070,906.' Q.-���������Jl.

C. .Lot 5Ox Lot .5 Ox - t:" Lot 5 Ox 6 '' room. -The season when pruning operations may be commenced is close at Vliand, and orchardisLt. should now be considering the best <;chenie ' to adopt in their particular case. Except in extreme "cases, pruning shouKl be moderate and should consist more of thinning out here, and there, with as little heading in as possible. In young orchards newly set out, it may be necessary to adopt a system .of heading hack to give out lateral growth, which will.be able to pro- duce, fruit spurs in later years,. Ia bearing orchards light annual pruning should be given, so 'that ac no time will it be necessary to materially alter the balance between root, and top by a severe heading back or excessive cutting- out. In old bearing orchards, which have been somewhat neglected, a considerable amount of top should probably be removed' to encourage now wood growth, so that a new fruiting surface may be established. As before mentioned, however, light annual printings are to be recommended, for recent work has demonstrated that unpruned trees have yielded slightly, better, up to a certain age, than trees pruned, but that tree's pruned lightly have yielded almost as well, while those severely headed back- wore not only later in coming into bearing and poor yiclders afterwards, but wore also less vigorous than the- lightly pruned and unpruned lots. ���������.Where, light heading back practised for the first three years was adopted, the comparison between trees pruned' and unpruned .showed llt.Llev difference in favour of tho unpruned, but those trees which hud been pruned were of decidedly better shape*, and in better condition for future work than the ones ' where pruning had been . neglected. These results have" simply justified the practise of. pruning during the first few years-of a tree's life with,, the express purpose of obtaining a desirable amount of growth placed where we want Jr. In the case of some trees this will, require considerable cutting- out and some cutting back for . the first three or four years. In other cases ,it .will "require s very little wood removal, but in all cases the trees should be' attended to annually. .The vigour of the tree is' in inverse -ratio to.the amount of severe heading back practised. This does not nie.an, however, that no pruning is to be. advocated, for a certain amount is necessary in any case to maintairL the proper, shape of a tree and some pruning should be given to eliminate the possibility of having to . "give drastic treatment at a later date to rectify long neglect. "The , lesson is, however, that' the only- sufficient- ���������pruning to maintain the shape 'and general vigor of the tree is to be recommended. " Indiscriminate heading back delays fruitfulness and reduces vigor. .Light annual prunings will not materially impair or delay fruitfulness ancl will eliminate future trouble. A little enlargement on' this latter statement is perhaps necessary to make' clear the point. ' We " are all aware of the advantage to be gained by heading a tree properly. A tree witlfits_^head starting 'from - :>nc point' on - the ' trunk is' weak . and doomed to an early death. To correct this pruning is "necessary- Again, we all"know that in pruning one should try to cut out all crotches which are acute-angled, as .limbs thus crothch- ed are sure to split open; the limb that comes closest to forming a right angle with the main trunk is the strongest. This is also attained by pruning., so here are two reasons why pruning'or training is necessary - in the life of the young tree. Consider for a moment the relation-between pruning and nutrition; the roots-of a tree function by gath ering "from the soil plant foods in solution, which is transmitted to the different parts of the tree .for elaboration "by the leaves. The plant food gathered may roughly be divided into two classes; nitrates, as supplied, for example, by nitrate of soda and carbohydrates. These latter are the elaborated forms' produced by the leaves from the solutions obtained by the roots, and are stored close to the point of manufacture. In order that the leaves c*n manufacture these carbohydrates sunlight is necessary, so that if a tree' becomes too thick in the head, thus shutting- out sun from the centre or lower portion's of the tree, those parts shut off from the sunlight will not be able to manufacture carbohydrates and will, as a consequence, become unfruitful; another reason why^so'me pruning is essential, is to maintain the vigor of all parts of the tree hj admitting -the."-necessary' sunlight.-��������� Experimental Fai'm note.

COMING���������"THE SHEIK," FRIDAY and SATURDAY, MARCH 31 and APRIL 1. " Spare the Milk and Spoil the Child Importance and Value of the Product, of the Dairy Cow. Every family in Canada is vitally concerned In its main food supplies. Among them milk and milk products are as indispensable in the. diet of both child and adult as is bread itself. Referring to child nutrition, Dr. A. J. Amyot, Deputy. Minister of Health, recently made the statement that "there are many.under-nourished' or improperly fed children in this country, improved by the .more liberal use of. milk in the diet." . In a pamphlet'just issued by the ���������Dominion' Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, entitled, "Why and How to Use Milk" of which Miss H. C. Campbell of the Dairy Branch is the author, it is stated that milk contains all-the', requirements for the growth and repair iof .the body. Milk contains.protein from which to build new cells and repairs worn-out tissues. . It contains fat and sugar, which serve as a source of heat and energy for muscular activity, and mineral niltter which has a regulatory effect and enters into tho composition of. the body, ������specially as regards the bone and teeth. The deficiencies of other foods are counterbalanced by milk in the diet. When milk is served with .cereal, with bread, or other -foods' made from grains, not only are the nutrients in. milk used, ,but much other protein is conserved for body uses which would otherwise be wasted. Butter, for which there is no .real substitute as,a beneficial food, ia' made from cream, and cream is whole milk with a large percentage of that soluble fat without which the .normal growth and development' of the body or of the mental, powers are--impossible. All the good of the milk is not taken off with/the cream���������far'from it. It still contains tlie protein,- mineral matter and vitamines necessary to build bone and make, blood. Nor. is the food value of milk * destroyed" when it spurs.
