Mr.. Blakemore has been doing some
splendid work, and every opportunity
was afforded the two West Indian gen
tlemen to investigate it's performances.
With this tractor Mr.. Allen Blakemore plow-
ed, narrowed and planted peas on his plan
tation lands, breaking them II" deep, at a
cost of IS cents per acre. He has expert
enced no trouble in making turns or cross
ing bitches, and considers his outfit a first
class Investment. Messrs. Longfeld Smith
and Skeoch were sent out by the planters Of
the Island of st. Croix to learn all they
could and when they get back home they
will give the benefit of their experiences to
their fellow planters. The report that ST.
Croix is deficient in rainfall, and q system
approximating in it's methods the 'fdry farm
ing" of some of our western areas is in vogue.
Only the tops of the canes are used for
planting, these being planted in holes, in the
water furrow, defective stands being 'sup-
piled" by fresh paintings, as is commonly
the case in the British West Indies. They
say the average yield is only about II tons
OF cane to an acre, and the yield per ton is
some 200 pounds Of sugar. Doubtless by
better and more thorough cultivation they
can increase the comparatively small yield of
IL tons per acre to q better one, and the re-
searches they are now making have this OBJ

LATE SIR GEORGE DARWIN.

The death took place at Cambridge on
Saturday of Sir George H. Darwin, T. r., s.,
Plumian Professor of Astronomy aud Expe-
rimenta! Philosophy at Cambridge Univer-

slxty-seven, was the second son OF Charles
Darwin, author Of the Origin Of Species
Il is interesting to note that three other
sons of the great naturalist have inherited
their fathers scientific tastes. They nre Mr..
Francis Darwin, + r S., an ex-presldent of
the British Association; Major Leonard Dar-

Of the plant.
Other plants were transplanted in a SINH
lar way to that employed in citrus %cultiva-
ton, and with the same satisfactory results.
The plant were forked up and all the soil
shaken from their roots. The leaves were
clipped and the plants transplanted to per
mapent positions in the field.
In concluding his notes on this useful
piece Of Investigation, Mr.. Brooks points out
the several practical disadvantages attending
the usual method Of mango propagation,
namely, marching; and finally, it is stated
that experiments are now in progress having
for their object the determination Of the
length of time that the plants will survive
between lifting and their final trausplanting.
The results should provide useful facts in
connection with the Transportation of the
budded plants over long distances. -Agri-

THE BUDDING OF THE MANGO IN ST.
LUCIA.

In a recent issue of the agricultural Ne20S
al account was given of recent work on the
budding of the avocado in Dominica.
information has been lately received
through the Agricultural superintendent, st.
Lucia, of similar Investigations carried out
by Mr.. Archibald Brooks, Assistant Agricul-
tural Superintendent, on the budding of the
mango.
1t appears that Mr.. Niles, the Junior In
structor and Overseer at the Experiment
Station, Union, was the first to achieve com
pIete success in mango budding; but a more
general investigation of the subject on a
larger scale, extending over the Hast eighteen
months, is described by Mr.. Brooks in his
notes, which constitute the basis Of the pre-
sent article.
1t is pointed out, first Of all, that success
in mango-budding mainly depends upon the
vigorous condition of the stocks. For this
reason the preliminary attempts to bud both
mango and avocado stocks raised in bamboo
pots proved unsuccessful. Flute and T-bud-
ding and splice grating were tried, and it
was endeavoured to increase the vitality of
the young stocks by the judicious opplicn-
ton of sulphate of ammonia. Every attempt
proved unsuccessful; the buds remained dor
mant for several weeks, and in some IN
stances the avocado buds commenced to
swell, but eventually turned black.
Having at the time a large bed Of vi8o-
rous one-year-oId Seeding mango stocks, it
was decided to attempt budding them by
slmilar methods to those employed in the
propagation of oranges The inverted L me-
thod was tried first, and the attempts prov
ed very successful: about 60 per cent Of the
buds developed and produced good plants.
1t is stated thst this method has an advan-
tage over the Well-known patch budding Of
citrus plants in that the former does not de-
mand such a high degree of skill and dex-
terity; for in patch budding it is, for in-
stance, essential that the bud be cut 50 as to
fit the incised area of the stock in order to
make a perfectly tight union. In the case of
the inverted L method it is only necessary
that the bud be inserted beneath the bark
and firmly tied in position.
The selection of bud-wood it is pointed
ont, must be confined to young woody
branches. The buds should be tied in posi-
ton with r%affia; budding tape should not be
used: for mango and avocado stocks, being
more sappy Than citrus stocks, tend to ia
your the development of fungi around the
wound when covered with waxed tape. This
was found to be one of the causes of previ-
Gus failures already referred to.
A point which next received consideration
was the transplanting of the budding stocks.
Some of the plants were lifted and potted in
bamboo Joints. The results show that this
can be done successfully; but it is necessary
to exercise great care, and only the largest
bamboo pots should be employed. 1t has
been found that plants with unusually long
tap roots should not be potted, but trans
planted direct in the field. Reducing to
any great extent tho length Of the tap root

advice OF Mr. L. L. Duncan, who is aged %

Ignore dietary tables.
Eat whenever you feel inclined.
Learn by experience what suits you.

A total of 4,339 plants was distributed
from the nurseries of the St. Lucia Depart
ment of Agriculture during last month; they
included $3.50 lime plants and 6(8 Para rub
Der plants, as well as 300 of cacao. The Agri-
cultural Superintendent states that the,present
demand in the island for lime plants exceeds
the supply by about 20, 900, and that prepar-
ations are being made for raising 100, 600
plants next year. 1t is estimated that the
flooding Of the Experiment Station at Union
in October caused the loss of 10000 lime
seeds and seedlings. Additional trouble has
resulted from the heavy rains Of November,
which have made it difficult to establish
lime seedings.-Hjd,

IN RELIC
go IOUS

In millions of families, the de.
nominational newspaper was long
as fixed a feature as grandfather's
clock. If the Evangelist, Zion's
Herald or, or The Observer hadn't
turned up Sunday, the children had
nothing to do but read. Barnes notes
and Pilgrims Progress. Although
the latter had exciting pictures of
Apollyon and Giaut Despair yet
there was usually a puzzle corner
in the religious papers.
Recent changes in this field of
journalism suggest how different it
is today. Some papers have been
given up, others are consolidating.
The union of two Baptist journals,
The Waterman and The Examiner,
founded respectively in 1919 and
1923, is the most recent setting of
these old family landmarks.
The old UNCONVENTIONAL weekly
might involve endless drudgery of
detail work. But there was a sure
steadfast audience. They would as
soon neglect to pay subscriptions as
forget to turn up at the accustom-
ed pew at 1880 Sunday morning.
1t was not necessary to send the
most popular teacher to Europe to
get new subscribers nor to offer
shiny tin clocks or rickety carpet
sweepers as premiums.
Those days of sectarianism were
like the intense faith of the Scotch
Covenanters. The church paper
was not supported SO much for
reasons of obligation, as because
people were keenly anxious to
know about the progress of their
w branch of the church.
Now the sectarian spirit is weak
er. Church people are not thrilled
by learning that a new society of
their own faith has been started at
Jonesville. They wish to read about
humon tartan progress and to re-
ceive s!i'itual inspiration.
Consequently the religious journ-
ais have grown more human. There
are fewer of them, but they show
better newspaper work, and are
more alive to the vital problems of
the day.
