Itie probable that his depredations will be extended throughout the country. What shail we do sbout him? Shai! the attack upon him be weak and ineflectu al, as it was last year Shall some of the farmers be permitted to neglect their fields, while others, with their wives and children, are carefully picking tre ser, one by one, into tin cans! Or shal an united and general onsl.ught be made by means of Pariz green / Many persons were last your celcrred from the uaeof this drug b feared that animals or humen beings micht be poisoned asa result of its use. But this fear is not well grounded. Anima’s may cause they from loss of population during recent years. Belfast has grown, but the balance of the province has suffered heavily. Between 1881 and 1891 the population of Belfast increased from 208,122 to 255,896, but the population of Ulster, declined from 1,745,075 to 1,617,814 If these figures have been correctly quot- el, they are interestirg as appearances and popular opinion are not showing thet always reliable.

SH gh should- human beings are not | kely to be poisoned unless they deliberately attempt to co mit | suicide by eating potaco vines upon which the poison has been spread, or accide ntally partake of it. The report of Mr. Fletcher, the cflisial eatomologist and botanist for Canada, is decisive upon this point. Mr. Fletcher says, in the report of the Experi- mental Farms reeently issued : lhe Colorada Potato-beetle (Voryphora 10 lineata, Say) mode its appearance as a sei« ious p:st of potatces in Nova Scotia and Prince Kdwaid Island. Paeiis Green is un doubtedly the best remedy for th’s enemy, avd when it is used with proper care no dan. ger of poisoning need be apprehended, poisonous, of course, very poisonous; but so are many other substances which it is necess- ary to use. No possible ill results to human beings can follow its use upon plants, from their absorbing its poisonous principles into their tissues, The proportions of Paris Green to water are, according to Professor Fletcher, one pound to two hundred gallons. The poison ought to be placed in water several hours before it is to be ay p'ied, and the whole repeatedly stirred in order that solution may be perfect. Seeing, then, that Paris Green is ‘* the best remedy,” and that it may be safely used if care be takew, the question is, whether or not our farmers, ail over country, ought to use it to the end that the bug may be stamped out. The ** Bug Act” provides for mutual co-operation in - each school district against the common enemy. As a result of action taken at the annua) school meeting, Inspectors may be ap- pointed, or the school trustees may adept effective measures, for the destruction of the potato bug wherever it may appear within the district. Would it not bea well, in view of the experience of last year, to have this act enforced in every school dia- trict of the Province ! By means of this act only can those general and effective measures be carried out, which alone will result in the speedy destruction of the potato bug pest. In this connection it may now be asked whether or not the Provincial Government intend to expand the thousand dollars voted this year forthe purchase of Paris green? If they do not, the fact ought at once to be made known, so that legitimate merchants in town and country may pro- vide themselves with supplies sufficient to meet the demands of the people. If they do, how is the poison to be distributed / Is it to be passed around among the friends of the administration, or, is a quantity of the poison to be taken to each school district and used, under the provisions of Mr. Ferguson's Act, ior the benefit of all ? The merchants whose lawful business is to be interfered with, and the farmers whose in the potatoe crop is involved alike, demand an immediate answer to this question, _ __ om + ee ee ireland and Ulster. THe census statistics of 1891 are not in accord with the generally received opinion that Ulster is far and away the wealthiest and most prosperous province in Ireland. According to the census returns, the popu- lation and rateable valuation of the four provinces stands thus : Rateable Val. per Valuation. head. Population, 1591. £ gs < Leinster...... 1,118,760 4,756,402 4 0 1 Munster...... 1,174,402 3,375,342 217 1 eee 1,619,814 4,468,591 2135 2 Connaught...- 724,774 1,435,761 1 19 lt will thus be seen that that the people of Ulster are, on the whoie, really rather poorer than their compatriots in the other provinces. Belfast is not so wealthy as Dublin. Here are the figures : Population Valuation Per head BEER 0 640 sneces 269,716 759,690 219 1 BNR. cece dear 273,114 756,264 215 1 The people of Dublin, too, say that this comparison is unfair to their city, for Bel fast has within a few years annexed a aumber of adjoining towns, while the wealthy suburban districts around Dublin are still independent municipalities. Com- paring Belfast with the other large cities of the United Kingdom which have over 150,- 000 residents, it is found to rank low as regards the amount of income on which its people pay taxes. It stands thirteenth, or lowest on the list, while Dublin stands sixth.

Branrrokv, June 16. The Presbyterian Assembly yesterday afternoon discussed the question of mis- sions to the Mormons of the Northwest. There are 7,000 Mormons just north of the boundary line’ They are building a tem- ple, and expect to have 10,000 Mormons in the Northwest in a short time. The mat- ter was referred to the Home Mission Com- mittee. An overture of the Presbytery of Mon- treal cal'ed the attention of the Assembly to the address of Professor Campbell, delivered at Queen's College last winter. An earnest discussion followed. There is, evidently, not the slightest sympathy with Professor Campbell's views in the Assem- bly. Personally he is a great favorite, and great regrets were expressed for the views he held. After due deliberation, it was unanimously agreed to allow the Presby- terians of Montreal to deal with the case. The city session was a rousing meeting on home missions. Tupper Commended.
