 Towns Growing

Regina, Sask.. May 1o-Twenty- five towns and cities in Saskatchewan have 1000 or more inhabitants. ac- cording to the returns of the recently completed census. Only fl were about that figure in 1911.
 Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert and Yorkton are the five largest cities. Prince Albert showed a gain of from 6,254 to 7,654 in the decade. Yorkton more than doubled it's population, which was D. 309 in 1911 and Is now 5,151.
 North Batt1eford also nearly dou- bled it's population. it's increase being 2,105 to 4,1Os. Biggar is one of the ment, In 1911 it was a hamlet of 316 and is today 8 substantial town of r. 535. kamsack has a slightly better start with 473 in 1911 and has grown now to 2,002.
 Melfort grew from 5ss to 1.746; Humboldt from s59 to 1,s22; Canora from 435 to 1.23o; Kenders1ey from 456 to 1,0Oo3; Nokomis from 374 to 746; Radvi1le from 233 to SS3; Rose town from 317 to S64.
 Unity, which did not exist in 1911, now has a population of 65S. There are a number of other towns on the provincial map which were not there ten years ago
 All these towns depend upon agrt- culture for their support The new settlers are mostly small farmers, who depend for their prosperity upon live stock and dairying as well as field crops.

Millions Washed
 Into Mississippi

Lexington, Ky, May 1o.-More of the plant elements that help to make crops in the Ohio and Mississippi val leys is washed into the Gulf of Mexi- co annually than is used by crops as they grow to maturity, according to a bulletin on "The Removal of Plant Food by Natural Drainage" just is- sued by the Kentucky Agricultural the result of research work by Dr. J. S. McHargue, one of the station chemists.
 The two great rivers annually wash six elements that furnish food for plants. according to the bulletin. The cash value of these lost clements is placed at $2,075,O ,OSs,324. The Mis- sissippi river alone. it is asserted, an- nually empties more than one and one-half billions of dollars worth, washed away from points along its banks. into the Gulf of Mexico every year.
 If all of the sources of plant food loss from the soil could be accounted for, said the chemist, it is probapie e that the portion removed permanent ing, would be found extremely small in comparison with the amount lost through drainage waters This. he says, is one of the problems of argi- culture to which farmers have given little attention.
 Material for the bulletin was ob- tained by Dr. McHargue by analysing scores of samples of water taken from springs and streams throughout Ken lucky and other states. Five gallons of water was contained in each sam pie. The tests were for the phos- phorus, potassium, nitrate-nitrogen, calcium. magnesium. sulphur, sodium, chlorine and manganese they contain ed.
 Besides the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the chemist took samples from the Kentucky, the Licking, the Ten nessee. the Cumberland and the Green rivers

Sweeney, asking discontinuance of the interur- ban trolley line running over the steam road tracks of the Highland di- vision from Burnside, through Man chester to Vernon and Rockville. May IT has been assigned as a date for hearing on the petition.
 The petition Is filed with the un- derstanding that inasmuch as the Connecticut company loses money on the interurban line by reason of the necessity of carrying a pilot and out- CT overhead expenses that its discon- tinuance would mean improved service on the surface lines between the points covered.
