NO PARIS GREEN
TO fight THE
POTATO BUGS
Nationwide Famine of Bug
Poison Threatens De-
struction of Crop

The potato crop may suffer from
the ravages of bugs as there is a
nationwide paris green famine and
the bugs are reported to be increas-
ing rapidly. Nearly all of the grow
ers had some of the poison on hand
at the commencement OF the season,
but few had enough to spray their
potato vines the second time. There
has been a largely increased de-
mand since the first green sprayed
upon the vines has been washed off
by recent rains, giving the bugs q
chance to devour the vines. ...
Dealers had fair stocks of the bug
poison last spring and the price be-
gan to advance rapidly as additional
supplies were not available. The
price for the larger packages advance
ed to s. cents a pound and at about
that price the balance of stocks on
hand was exhausted.
Just how the growers will fight
the bugs is not known-they will
probably be compelled to the old
process of picking by hand. If the
bugs increase as rapidly during the
next two weeks as they have during
the last fortnight it will require
great dear of hard work to save the
potato crop in this locality.

THE GREAT HYMNS.

Winnipeg Free Press: 20 God, Our
Help in Ages Past" has now become
the British national hymn. Already
before the war, that version Of the
Ninetieth Psalm was beginning to
attain something like this position in
the national consciousness. Isaac
Watts, it's author, was born in the
year of Millions death. He was the
first English nonconformist to- COM
pose hymns worth singing. Some Of
them are among the great hymns of
the Christian church, to wit: Jesus
Shall Reign Where'er the SUM-" and
When Il Survey the Wondrous
Cross" On the Sunday that he died
so suddenly, Matthew Arnold had
gone to hear Ian Maclaren preach in
Liverpool. It was a sermon on the
cross and Watts hymn was sung at
the close. At luncheon in. his hotel
Arnold spoke about it and repeated
some Of the lines, saying that it was
the greatest hymn in the language.
Many years ago in Dartmouth, Nova
Scotia, walking from church, Charles
Robson (some in Winnipeg will re-
member that fine spirit and scholar)
said that he thought the second
stanza the most poetical in any hymn
of our language.
See from His head, His hands, His
feet,
Sorrow and love flowed mingled
down,
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich o
crown?

MARKET HIGHER
ON WHEAT TODAY

Wheat: The market was higher
with other grains but trade was very
small, only a few lots being traded in.
The cash markets were quiet and will
remain so until the Washington regu-
lations are made known.
Corn: Hot weather over the belt
with the switchmen strike caused
general buying of corn this morning
and offerings being light, the market
firmed very fast. Profit taking sales
were easily absorbed. Crop news con-
tinues favorable except from the
southwest, where the drought contin-
ues to hurt prospects. The Washing
ton advices indicate greater restric-
tions on speculative buying of food
stuffs was factor. The general stu
alton is abnormal and market fore
casts are of little value. .
Oats: Oats gained substantially
with corn strength and the buying
was of a general character. The cash
call is good and bears are disappoint-
ed in the selling attitude of farmers.
Until there is heavier hedging press
ure, the market will be easily over
sold. Chas e. Lewis e. Co.
