The Ottawa Journal 'Pre'is. in an editorial today approves ol the measure of Mr. Burnliam in ihe .following terms: \"it is to be hoped that the proposed bill to prevent tlie conferring of ��������� hereditary titles'on Canadians will be carried by tlie New Dominion Parliament with an impressive' majority. The matter may be, a constitutional one over which Parliament has no control, .but whether constitutional or unconstitutional a clear out anti-hereditary declaration from the new House of Commons would have to be taken notice u������ in London. \"Simultaneously with such a declaration there should be a thorough parliamentary airing of just who is responsible for any titles conferred upon Canadians other than soldiers in the field. The Journal is not enamoured of Bolsheviki or long-haired, wild-eyed ideas, but we flunk the Canadian landscape is becoming a little too thickly and a little too discriminate^ (lotted with 'Sirs.' \"There is a growing feeling that these titles have been passed out so rapidly and indiscriminately cf late that they have ceased to have much value.\" Mourns the Death Of Their Father (From Fraser Valley Record.)

He will then study their j ways and will learn to manage i them well.

There is hardly a place in the settled parts of Canada where this condition is not fulfilled to some extent The kinds of plant that produce the bulk .of the surplus honey are not many.'-. By far the most important are alsiko anu white clover found on almost, every farm, and most plentiful, of course, where they are grown for hay, pnsturo or seed.

TliMiisaiids of women and children have been turned over to the ���������Turku. There may bo no Serbs left alive to bonedt by reparation and restitution unless something is done in the meantime to save* them. Serbia's fate is-'many times worse than Belgium's. And besides all this, the Serbian army is waging ceaseless warfare on a most difficult | and dangerous front. ��������� It is to help these splendid coun- ! fries that an appeal is mr.de on be- j hair of the Canadian War j Fund to establish Canclian hospitals i ambulances and dispensaries in Ser- j bia, Montnegro and Macedonia. I As one who knows ihe needs of I these worthy people I appeal to all . sympathiers of Serbia to help in this ; work, and, by sending a donation, to assist'in caring: for the sick, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and caring for the orphans. | FRED VV. E. Bl'RN'HAM ver yields first place to Alfalfa, and in the semi-cleared lands of tho north to frreweed, (Epilibium ang'us- tifolium) a. promising- honey plant which is now the subject ot a special investigation by the Bee Division ot the Experimental farms. Among minor sources of surplus honey are buckwheat and basswood in southern -Ontario-and-south-svest'Quebec; golden rod and aster, principally in\" eastern Canada; wild raspberry, swet clover, Canada thistl-a and various weeds. Red clover is an example of a plant containing abundant nectar in which the flowers are too narr row and too deep for rhe bees to collect it. A third factor of great importance is suitable weather for the development of the honey plant and lor the secretion and Ingathering of the nectar. In the case of most plants, including white and alsike clover, a moderately wet spring followed by fine, warm weather when the plants are in full bloom, produce the best results. In such a season it is not unusual to get 150 pounds of honey per colony in a good clover district On the other hand continuous rain or broken weather during the honey flow, may prevent the production of any surplus honey. We cannot for- cast the weather in any part of the country, so that the noney crop is as uncertain as any farm crop. In 1915 the highest yield per colony from clover was obtained in Nova Scotia; in Ontario the crop was only moderate, and in the lower mainland of British Columbia a failure. In 191G Nova Scotia gave less than the average, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba far above the average, and the lower mainland of British Columbia again a failure. In 1917 Nova Scotia recorded a failure: southern Ontario almost an avarage; Quebec Manitoba below the average and lower mainland, of British Columbia a bountiful crop. The.shifting . ,(of the good yield from one region 111 to anofhor was due to.v/oathor conditions.

Canned salmon is a staple article used by all classes. Like other commodities it carries an increased cost, of production at the seaboard.

The Hood controller's attention is particularly directed to \"Pinks\" the cheapest of the various brands of salmon, and consequently the purchase of those least able to pay, 10 5-14 cents per tin at Vancouver with a transportation charge of 2-5 th of one cent for a haulage of 1,470 miles J A I'M ON OUAIM) AT VLADIVOSTOK Welch and Stewart from their liabil-! from the coast to Winnipeg, nearly iny for the ?30o,000 payment. | doubles in cost before it reaches the . j table.

All the hot air of tho past twelve months has delayed the connecting up of the road v/i\"lli Fort George,t and yot the road is an absolute necessity in the development of the country.

Perishable Crom Co-operation Needed For Profitable Marketing of Products The profitable marketing of perishing crops is a m-iu\"*s .'job. The producing, packing aud grading of your crops Is also a man's job. It seldom hapens that tho same man can successfully do the dual work, as the care and worry of th.? latter op- oration prevents the grower from devoting tho neiessary time ami attention to study the market, needs and- sell his products' intelligently. In a goneral way, if is safe to say that wherever the two parts of the fruit game has been handled by the individual grower, failure to secure i profit has resulted; hence if is ne- men bants became alarmed.

They were told to complain to the member for the ���������Dewdney riding, but stated that they had \"exhausted that source'' and if -ihs*y did not get access to their properly would have to 'get a new country.', or something to that effect.

His land was assessed at %2b per acre which the court did' not think was too much. jVir.

Assessor Creighton promised to take this into consideration next year when making the assessment and Mr. Malcolm was satisfied. Mr. Malcolm when he appealed was under the impression that there would be a surtax this year again. li. Fooks. Agassiz, had J. A. Ca- thervood appear for him.

The complaints .we hear t!mt t'arrii- ers are unable to secure the cost of. fclie production for their prodr.co can j be *.raeed by investigation to the want of system' or organization. Every non-member cf the local organization is a contributing unit in his own destruction. A study of the Prairie market bulletin issued last season from Calgary will disclose this condition very clearly. ]( will be found that in many cases the retail prices were less than those obtained by .wholesalers on given dates. This was made possible by individual shippers consigning produce' direct to the retail trade, who 'in turn proceeded to set the market pneo they had nothing to lose they invariably featured such consignment.*; as a fiade drawing card for1 their other v,ares. Your markets Commissioner had on several occasions to inv.erveiw dualers and call their attention io the Injustice of this practice, whi-h tlie.se independent shippers fostered by trusting the distant merchant rather than their own .issociation secretary. The difference is obvious between the two opposing conditions. The said manager of tho association holds his Job by virtue of being able to secure satisfactory returns for his members. The merchant's business depends on attractive \"prices and it is only human that he is not going to undersoil the goods that he buys at the same price as ethers, but the underpriced .consignment is his meat. c- The individual shippers suffer for their acts, but the misfortune does not end with their loss; they are usually sufficient to draw the market down with them, and they cause loss to all their associated nei.hnors. This has been going on in all parts of the country ior years, until the ruinous prices obtained either drove the producers out of business or compelled them .to organize to prevent its repitition. Tlie Kennicwick district in Washington furnished a striking illustration a few years ago. This famous district was threatened with desertion. The farmers were on the verge of pulling up their fruit, as the price- ret lized was unsatisfactory for a period of years. The organized grower's and the unorganized stood about 50- 50 for and against. The town is supported by fruit-growing and tho (From Fraser Valley Record.)
