HOME GARDEN FLOWERS
What to Grow to Beautify Your
Home and Lawn.
oId-Fashioned Posies May Be Relied
Upon to Produce; Will Add
Beauty to Premises.

When making plans for the home
vegetable garden all the emphasis
should not be placed upon vegetables,
but provision should be made for plant
ing a few flowers as well. Where a
cottage and "a lawn are included in the
general scheme the flowers can often
be arranged around the foundation of
the house, or In bed separating the
lawn either from neighboring
property or from the vegetable garden
Old fashioned zinnia, petunia,
bachelors button, cOckscomb, scarlet
sage, and cosmos are among the most
easily cultivated flowers and go long
way toward Frightening up the general
appearance Of the home surroundings.

canas, roses, gladioli, and various other
Towering plants that will add color and
beauty to the place. and at the same
time furnish cut flowers for the house.
is highly desirable.
From the standpoint Of economy, the
paintings around the foundations Of the
house should, as rule, be made of
permanent low-growing shrubbery,
mainly that which grows native in the
locality, and the annual Towering
plants given a place in connection with

CANADIAN WHEAT

ut will be noted that the aver
age price per bushel of Canadian
wheat exported to the United
States in December, 1920, was
something under $2.03, while for
S1.0S. This indicates that the fall
in wheat prices Is general through
out the world, ana not confined to
the United States, nor due to Re-
publican policies as the Democrats
would have us believe. Our own
average export price on wheat in
December, 1920, was $2.37, and
last year they to- aled $4,000 bar
rels, valued at $472,0OO, compared
with $4,000 barrels valued at ST.
9S5,0O0 in December of 1920, and
for the four months period they
totaled 230,656 barrels valued at
$1,451,OO0 in 1921 compared with
532, 1856 barrels valued at S5,-
S58,000 for the corresponding pc
riod of 1920.
Canadian exports of wheat to
the United States during the month
of December, 1921, were 3,365.O0O
bushels, valued at $3,629, 900. COM
pared with 1924, 900 bushels val
ued at $24,797,0OO for December,
1920, according to a report recent
ly received from Montreal. Dur
ing a period of four months ended
December last, Canada exported to
the United States 9,367,000 BUSH

between the United States and
Great Britain. In 1907 he was
appointed Ambassador to the
United States, and for five years
he was highly successful in pro-
noting cordial relations between
this country. Great Britain and
Canada.
"Viscount Bryce was the author
of various books of history and of
comments upon the customs OF
countries which he had visited. His
best known work is The American
Commonwealth published in
1888, which is considered an au-
thority on our Constitution and
political institutions. 1t is accept
ed as a standard textbook in
American schools of higher learn
ing, although it never occurred to
Mr.. Bryce that it would be widely
read on this side of the Atlantic.
1t was intended by him as another
effort to bring the British public
to a more sympathetic \ view Of
America. g. ~ ~.
81 wrote it for Europeans
said the author in addressing a
recent Pilgrim society dinner,
for those benighted Europeans
who did not know what America
was ana What she would become.
And the book really was written
by yourselves. 1t was put to-
gether out of many conversations
l had not only with statesmen in
the halls of Congress, but at din
ner parties, on the decks of steam
ships, in smoking cars, with driv-
ers of wagons on western prai-
ries, with ward politicians and city
bosses
1T is to be hoped that the unique
place in American British rela-
tions occupied by Viscount Bryce
may not be long vacant. 1t is
probable that the spirit of the
Washington conference has
aroused British men of affairs to
a proper appreciation of American
ideals, so that in the future there
will be no lack of champions for
America among British statesmen.
Influences such as those welded by
Mr. Bryce personally and through
his books are among the most po-
which Mr.. ,Balfour and his asso-
ciates will undoubtedly recognize
when the conference adjourns and
they return to their own coun-
try"

"In a number OF instances the
decrease In imports of agricultural
comm odities Is due chiefly to the
Emergency Tariff Act which be-
came effective May 2S, 1921; while
the decrease In imports Of cotton
cloths is undoubtedly due TO the in
dustrial troubles in Great Britain
last year.
"Of course where these articles
are subjected to ad valorem rates
of duty, their low invoice price
means the minimum of revenue
and protection is nil. For example.
the average price of pocketknives
would throw them in the class of
those paying a SIS per cent duty,
which would mean less than 6
cents per knife. while razors paid
an average duty of about 8 cents
each in 1921. Scissors and shears
must have averaged about 4 cents
duty a pair. But If the man or
woman who purchased any of
these articles from the mail order
or large department stores will
look over this list of import prices,
he will discover that not only he,

WHEN TO PLANT SWEET CORN
Ground Is Warm and No
Danger From Frost.

Sweet corn should be planted on rich
land and cultivated the same as field
corn. Plant the seed as soon as the
soil is warm in the spring, and make
successive paintings every two or three
weeks until late summer. The same
results can be obtained to some extent
by planting early, medium and late
varieties. Plant the seeds about two
inches deep in drills three feet apart
and thin to single stalk every 10 to
IA inches.
Sweet corn, when grown in the
South. passes so quickly from the milk
to the dough stage that care should
be exercised to gather the crop just at
the right time, in order to secure the
most satisfactory results. The flavor
of sweet corn depends upon its stage

Twenty-seven commodities are
shown in the following list, of

duty, |. e., rates assessed on the
value of the article. Naturally. the
lower the value of the article, as
invoiced, the lower the duty. the
less the amount realized by the

importers price these articles for
