G 7!w��onmpation;v 7:^WBrjWEtSXX IX To Control Wheat Rust Early Sowing of Seed Found to Have Best Results Many experiments havo beeu conducted nt the Brandon Experimental Farm In au effort to discover the best methods of handling the soil and crops to reduce rust injury. Among the tests carried out during the past six years were Included thick versus ihln seeding, early versus late seeding, the influence of different types of fertilizers and different types of crop preceding tlie wheal, tis compared with hare fallow. The most decisive results have come from the dates of seeding. ln each season that rust has appeared, the early sown wheat was less affected by it. at the time of ripening. In Bulletin No. 42 of the Dominion department of agriculture on experiments with wheat at tho Brandon Farm, '.Mr. Mc- Killiean, until recently superintendent gives thc results of this work in .192?., which was a bad rust year. Wheat sown on April 130 was ripe on the 3rd of August and produced Zly bushels and 40 lbs, to the acre, weighing G1M. lbs. to the bushel. The crop sown 10 days later was C5 per cent, rusted and gave a yield of 25 bushels to the acre, weighing iiv lbs. to the" bushel. The crops sown on May 20 and May 30 was 100 per cent, rusted at harvest lime. The former yielded 20.bushels of grain lo (he acre, weighing 53 lbs. to the bushel .while the latter gave only 12 bushels and 20 lbs. to the acre, weighing 50 lbs. to,Hie bushel.'

It is expected that from 1,200 lo 1,500 pf this nuinber will come during the next season, and for some months field officers of the land settlement branch of tho immigration department have been abroad, meeting the prospective newcomers and advising thorn of the characteristics of the different provinces. The immigrant will select the province in which he wishes to locate, and the department will advise as to the particular district. Advices received at Ottawa indicate t,hat the distribution will be scattered, but the bulk will go to the prairie provinces.

A little turning of the pages of the dictionary bears him out. If you say u man tells fhe truth you have said it all. There is no neat tind forceful way of emphasizing and enlarging upon that. But if you say he lies, you will find a hundred subter- fugiug ways to say it. Trom the "short and ugly" lo "equivocate, quibble, prevaricate," anil the like, the list is long. One politician made himself famous hy saying of another that he "was economical in the use of" the "truth** to the verge of parsimoniousness." Such a statement draws a smile. It is bland, it is suave, it has the mild sting of vinegar, not the burning erosion of vitriol. Even better ihau such elaborate circumlocutions to express a thing which at best we know if were beitei* (o have left unsaid, is to forego for the moment being clever, a"nd keep our peace.

Tlie present authorities are- under three departments���trade and commerce, marine, and railways���and* the two' latter may not wish to forego- their powers. A distinction is made between the Montreal and Vancouver elevators, Tor example. In the^ case of the former, the grain is 'all- weighed and inspected when it arrives.
