HOLY TRINITY JUNIOR AUXILIARY Last Saturday, May 22, at the elev- enth annual meeting of the Junior Aux- iliary held in Victoria, a number from Deep Cove attended, namely Mrs. Davis, Mrs. James Bryce, the Misses Humfreys, Williams, Thornton and little May Spen- cer, May Williams, Margaret Thornton, and Masters Rhys and Gerald Davis and Arthur Thornton. Owing sence of Miss Hazel Johns, Thornton read the report of the. Holy Trinity Juniors. Miss Thornton was highly praised by the diocesan officers and other junior presidents for the clear and auditable reading of her report, as generally the reading of such reports are seldom heard. An interresting part of the report is as follows: “Many kind offers of different help have been made by certain parents which are greatly valued. Are these unlooked for offers due to the prayers of the mem- bers ?’’ “Prosper the missions of Thy Church and give us love for prayer.) ‘‘We feel it must be so and while it is hoped all prey the members’. prayer, special mention must be made of little Rhys and Gerald Davis for daily earnest Prayers.”’ ‘“‘Are they the little instrumen‘s of the success we look for ?"’ to the ab- Miss Fthe Thee.’’—(Members' SEED GROWING IN CANADA. In 1918-14, according to information gathered and supplied by Mr. ‘George H. Clark, the Dominion Seed Commissioner Canada imported from France and Ger. many no less than 900,748 pounds of beet and mangel seed; from Holland and France, 850,849 pounds of turnip seed, and from I*rance alone 82,966 pounds.of.| carrot seed. Radish, cabbage, caulifiow- er, celery and parsnip seed were also Im- Ported in large quantities, mainly from France. While it was thought there was nearly sufficient of these seeds on hand to meet the requirements for this vear, these channels being closed, there will: plainly be a dearth, The forqgoing important facts are duly set down ond series for 1016 in Bulletin No. 22, of the see of the Central Experimental Farm, of which M. O. Malte, Dominion Agrostologist, coun, Dominion Horticulturist, authors, ‘Canada,’ the bulletin very omphatically says, ‘should make herself independent of foreign markets and pro- duce at home what bow has to — bo bought abroad, Canadian furiners should not only try to meet the cmerg- ency demanal for fleld immediate future, but should also try to establish a permanent. seed growing [i dustry which would make them independ- ent of any other countries.’’ There will assuredly not be a dissenting voice — to this doctrine as a general principle and the Bulletin, which is being gratuftously distributed can be had on application to the Publications Branch, Agriculture, Ottawa, this desirable brought Ph.D, and W.

A list that is giv- en of the best varieties of vegetables for stock seed is of good practical value. Farmers and gardéners are also remind- ed that as an inducement to the grow- ing of field roots and garden seeds in ‘Canada the Dominion Government is willing to aid seed growers by cash sub- ventions, particulars of which obtained from the Seed Branch, ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. It. can be Depurt- should be added that as the purpose is to en- courage the growing of selected seed, only bona fide growers of such seed are eligible to receive the subventions. REVIEW BREVITIES. That the reconstruction of the British Cabinet on non-party lines is »# move in the right direction. It is to be hoped that the future will develop a spirit of country before party. Then and not till then ‘will we get real government of the people, by the people and for the people. Big men who refuse to be associated with any party will then take cabinet positions. While party government is the best we have so far, it is not a decided suc- cess. Perhaps Canada and the other Colon- ial States of the Empire will follow the lead of Great Britain. Only the very best men available should hold portfolios. Asquith, Kitchener, Grey, Balfour, Landsdowne, Lloyd George, Curzon, Selbone, Churchill and Austen Chamber- lain are a great combination. Unfavorable criticism ought to be not- iceable by its absence. As far as the war itself is concerned, we are doing very nice, thank you. _———__________. CARD OF THANKS.
