SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE. 



Maj', 1922 



Treatment No. 4: resulted similarly to 

 No. 3, but the scale was slightly looser. 



To check up on the above results the lead- 

 ing manufacturers of radiators were cir- 

 cularized and five firms replied as follows : 



Two recommended muriatic acid in 

 varying strengths. 



One recommended periodic use of wash- 

 ing soda. 



Two wrote claiming that their radiators 

 were immune from such trouble. 



To sum up the results of our experiments 



so far, we believe that the following prac- 

 tices will give good results: 



(1) Use as clean water as possible — 

 rain water preferred, 



(2) Use the washing soda solution per- 

 iodically — at least once a month to keep 

 deposits loosened. 



(3) Use 1-10 muriatic solution cold for 

 12-14 hours at least once per season or when 

 necessary. 



The accompanying photo shows the cups 

 used and samples of radiators studied. 



Concerning the C.S.T.A. and Its Branches 



BY THE GENERAL-SECRETARY 



Dominion Elections 



The results of the recent election for 

 the four named officers of the Society for 

 1922-23 are as follows : — 



President, J. B. Reynolds (by ac- 



clamation) 

 Vice-Presidents, H. Barton, represent- 

 ing English-speaking 

 members ; Jules Si- 

 mard representing 



French-speaking mem- 

 bers. 

 Hon. Secretary-Treasurer, L. H. New- 

 man. 



The ballots were opened on May 1st. 

 360 members voted. 



Every possible effort is being made to 

 ensure the complete success of the Annual 

 Convention, which is being held at Mac- 

 donald College during the last week of 

 June. The Convention will last for five 

 full days, and during that time a comple- 

 te course of at least twenty post graduate 

 lectures will be given in animal produc- 

 tion, plant industry, entomology and agro- 

 nomy. This will give the members some- 

 thing worth while to take away from the 

 Convention. The course of lectures is 

 being given through the courtesy of the 

 Dominion Department of Agriculture. 



Business sessions will mostly be held in 

 the morning, and post graduate lectures 

 in the afternoon. Several evenings will 

 be free. There is no desire to overcrowd 

 the programme, as it is considered high- 



ly desirable to provide time in which 

 groups of visitors may meet together in 

 an informal manner. 



The Convention will close officially on 

 Friday June 30th, but as the following day 

 is Dominion Day, a special programme is 

 being arranged of a social nature, in- 

 cluding a Dominion Day Banquet in Mont- 

 real. Members should therefore plan on 

 attending the Convention for the entire 

 week, commencing June 26th. 



It will not be possible to announce the 

 detailed programme before the end of May. 

 In the meantime, reservations should be 

 made through the General Secretary. Ac- 

 comodation is being provided at Macdonald 

 College for $2.50 per day, including room 

 and meals. Any member who has defi- 

 nitely decided to attend the Convention 

 will facilitate arrangements if he will make 

 his reservation immediately.
