Tips For Gardeners.

Early blight, which is highly
destructive to early potatoes,
may be controlled by spraying
the plants with Bordeaux mix
ture when they are from six to
eight inches high.
About May 1, is the time to
SOW the wrinkled-seeded varie-
ties of peas. Planting them
about two and one-half or three
inches deep is said to prolong
the bearing period.
In placing cabbage, tomato,
egg plant or any other plants
that are set in the garden, it is
best to keep the ground level, ac-
eording to gardeners at the Col
lege of Agriculture. This brings
the roots of the plants nearer the
water table anG prevents excess
i've evaporation of moisture.
This is the season of the year
when it is necessary to keep the
ground in good cultivation to pre-
vent baking which often keeps
many young plants from break
ing through the soil. Much bak-
ing or crusting ususlly follows
heavy rains.
In planting the large growing
varieties of peas, it is a good idea
to plant two rows about eight to
ten inches apart and then
place the netting or sticks be-
tween the two. Economy in
stalking is thus made possible by
making one row Of netting serve
two COWS of peas.

An able and busy novelist,
Victor Rousseau has turned out
many stories and has escaped
the criticism made of so many
popular writer's. Many authors
who write a great deal find diff
ficulty in avoiding a sameness
Of plot and Characterization.
Mr.. Rousseau has been able to
escape this. Everyone Of his
tales shows refreshing origin
atty in plot and handling.
He made his success in the
United States several years
ago and is now returning to this
country after a sojourn in the
literary circles of England. He
knows Canada well and it is
not surprising that his latest
book should deal with a very
vital phase of the redeeming of
northern portions of that coun-
try from the wilderness. A

adventure, it is entitled, "The
