SUGAR CULTIVATION IN ONTARIO

The Ontario department of agricul-
ture is conducting extensive expert
ments in. sugar-beet raising this sea-
son. These will be conducted at ST.
Catharines, Brussels, and Markham,
and perhaps at Renfrew, Orangeville,
and Guelph as we'll. About so farmers
are raising beets at each point. This
is the third successive year of sugar
beet experiments in Ontario. The re-
suits have been very satisfactory, and
an effort is being made to ascertain
if the soil is generally adapted for beet
raising.

1t Is Now Counted Almost a Crime to

Friend by One.

The present fashion of using the full
Christian names of persons young or
old, when addressing them, instead of
a nickname, as used to be the rule, is
a more sensible thing to do than fash
ion usually prescribes, but why it
should be counted crime for an init
mate friend, in a moment of forget
fitness, to revert to the old nickname,
it is hard to understand.
