‘Mr. McDonald believed ‘the ‘people of this ‘Province are’ today ‘in a" ‘bat- ter frame of mind, ue ‘to the Gov- ernment which has been carrying on under the Stewart administra- tion. ‘In contrast ‘with other years, the ‘people ‘have no complaints to make about the conduct oi the gov- ernment. They are being ‘treated in a ‘more satisfactory way by the various departments, and when any error does occur, if it ‘is ‘reported it is quickly a-ttehded to and remed- ied. As an instance oi ‘this, he need only refer to the remarks of the Loader oi ‘the Opposition a short time ago, when ‘that gentleman took to himself great credit-for having attended a Liberal meeting at which some complaint was made ‘in con- nectlon with n ‘pibce of road in the irestcrn end of the ‘Province. When the complaint was submit-ted to ‘the Government the matter was promp- fly investigated; the Minister of P11111116 Works abteuded to it and saw ‘that the condition of ‘the road was remedied. Coming from ‘the Leader oi the Opposition, this speaks very well for the way thel departments are administered.

Qursnous AND ANSWERS covnuuc soncuo

., . What is Soilgro? It is a scientific culture of various soil bacteria.

What does it do? It changes the elements in or added to the soil into available plant food. What effect has it on the plants? By increasing the available plant food, it promotes a sturdier and faster growth, better root development, more extensive yield and quicker maturity.

Can it injure or burn the plants? N0, it merely increases the natural functions. You cannot use loo much.

Can i: be used on all kinds of plants? Yes, it may be used with advantage on trees, grains, vegetables, shrubs, flowers, lawns and pastures.

Must fertilizer be used with Soilgro? Not necessarily, but the function of Soilgro is to supply the bacteria necessary to make the plant food now in the soil available for use by the plant and the more added, in the way of fertilizer or manure, the better.

How often should it be applied? It cannot btrapplictl too often. successive applications will tend-to increase growth and hasten mattirfty.

Is humus necessary when Soilgro is used? Yes, humus is necessary as this provides spon- giness in the soil which retains moisture and no plant lifc will exist without moisture.

Must it be applied cvcry yea-r? It can’ be with advantage. Under favorable conditions the bacteria build a rcscrve supply of plant food but if the plants are assimilating it and increas- ing their productivity rapidly, it is advisable to provide allthe food they may require.

How shouldlSoilgro be mixed? Empty the bacteria food fi-rst and pour contents of Soilgro ‘can onto it and then add five times the amount of the Soilgro can, of clear water, (rain water preferable, but not necessary.) Stir well and cover with cheese cloth or mosquito netting. Let stand in a warm shady spot for five days. Do not expose to the direct rays of the sun as sun rays affect the life of bacteria. "

Why do you have to mix it as directed? This releases the bacteria from captivity in air

Once a season, but

. light carts and provides food on which they thrive and multiply.

Can part of contents only be mixed? Yes, but it is better to mix it all at one time as it keeps better in that form.

Does Soilgro have a disagreeable smell? Only when first opened. As soon as the hzfrtitless gases that have formed in the can come in contact with the air, this odor immediately disperses.

Does it smell when applied to a lawn? No‘

How long will it keep after mixing? From six to eight months,

Will mixture evaporate? Not to-any great extent.

Ml)’ shouldthe mixture be coveged withcheese cloth? Because mosquitos and other in- sects but the bacteria. ' _ '

“Why shoukLSoilgro be applied in the evening or on .1 cloudy day? Because the direct rays of the sun will kill the bacteria before they have a chance to work into the soil.

Who discovered Soilgro? Dr. I. E. Davis, Ph.B., Oph.D., a Canadian chemist and bacteriologist. . "

Is it a new principle? N0, it is rather a perfected, method. Bacteria cultures have been used on legumes such as alfalfa, clover, veiches, beans, ctc., for the past I 5 or more years.

What is the advantage of Soilgro over other culture? It ischeaper, easier to apply and is adaptable to all kinds of crops, while other cultures are for specific crops only.

Is there more than one kind of bacteria in Soilgro? Yes, numerous others serving a specific purpose.

What are the different kinds of bacteria in Soilgro? Different groups of nitrogen fixing, ammonifying, nitrifylng and decomposition bacteria.

Is Soilgro poisonous? No, it is not injurious to any living thing.

Can Sollgro be used on all kinds of soil? Yes, it improves any soil. -
