RICHMOND HILL, ONTARTO The ‘application of lime_is recom- mended in 'order to stimulate the growth of clover and alfalfa, the two crops that are well fitted to improve the soil when turned under. The problem of the grower is to decide whether to continue to grow potatoes without \this green manuring and avoid scab or to lime the ground and, take chances. Where potatoes are not a main crop it is possible to plan a rotation in which liming- is done for other crops and potatoes included after :1 five year period. Another; plan/is to choose scab resistant var- ieties of which there are a few offer- ed. Unfortunately these are not such high yielders though in course of time strains may be developed that I Avoid Scab in Potatoes \ There is more than fertility of soil to be considered in crop production. Potato growers can increase their ‘yields by the application of fertilizer, this crop being one that responds readily to the right formulas. Mark- ets demand more than volume, how- ever, and a scabâ€"covered lot of tubers are likely,to be rejected by dealers. The germs of this disease are usually present in soils on which potatoes have been grown for some years, the continuous planting adding to the trouble. The seed may be treated with formaldehyde or corrosive sub- limate, but if placed in infected ground the scab will promptly appear. If lime has been applied Within. the previous year or two the conditions are even more favorable for the de- velopment of the disease. 1 Prices paid. growers in.1935 have not yet been established, but in 1934 when alsi‘ke was scarce also, grdwers ‘I‘eceived fmm 20 to 25¢. per pound for No. 1 grade. The crop this year in Ontario is only fair in general appearance and in freedom from weed seeds, but any alsike that will grade under the Do- minion Seeds Act should be in strong demand. A shortage of alsike for normal Canadian requirements, which ap- proximates 1,500,000 pounds per an- num, seems inevitable for next spring, although there may be some impor- tations from the United States and Europe to increase the supply. crop when compared with the eight to ten million pounds which used to be produced annually in this part of Canada. A negligible crop is report- ed in north-western Ontario which ordinarily supplies a fair quantity. of seed, and only about 5,000 pounds of reasonably pure alsike is indicated in the Timiskaming districts of northern Ontario and Quebec. About two car- loads are reported in the, Prince George production district of British Columbia. In addition there may be some 1,000,000 pounds of timothy con- taining more or less alsike in the Timiskaming districts of'Ontario and Quebec. “Well, mister, I don’t know this Michelangelo; but if he paints cars at less than two dollars an hour he don’t belong to the union.” Please, do not spell it “Xmas.” There is no such word in the English language. “So you’re out of work and want help? What’s your trade?” “I’m a painter, mister.” “Painter, eh? Well, now, my car needs painting. .What would you charge to‘do that job?"’ “Two dollars an hour.” “Two dollars an hour? Why, I wouldn’t pay Michelangélo two dollars an hour in times like these!” A glance at the laying contest re- ports will disclose the remarkable difâ€" ference between flocks, and probably more than any other factor, these contests, held «in all the provinces under Dominion Government manage- ment, have done great service in stimulating selective breeding and pointing out the difference in the pro-I duction of a good flock and a poor one. In conformity with other farm pro- ducts poultry has had its lean years, but a well-managed flock could gen- erally be relied upon to return some profit. The rule that only the best will survive under keen competition may be seriously applied to poultry- keeping due to the small profit per unit; a hen may lay one egg or she may lay 350 in a year, and the over- head expense of the poor hens is reâ€" markably close to that of the high pnoducer, but there is a vast differ- ence in the revenue. Expansioxl' in Poultry Industry The poultry industry in South- western Ontario has undergone rapid expansion in recent years, growing slowly from. the small farm flock of a dozen of two hens to the large flock, and some instances to the larg- er specialized poultry farms. At one time all the operations of breeding, incubation, egg production, fattening and preparing for market were car- ried out on the farm under single management, but now in many in- stances wo find major operations car- ried out at some specialized plant. However, the general-purpose poultry farm where all or nearly all the oper- ations, are carried on still remains the safest undertaking and the backâ€" bone of the industry. combine productiveness with disease' resistance, as already accompfished in wheat.

I thought it would help. so I forced back my tears and holding her hand in mine, I told her how very good the nurses and doctors had been to my small son when I brought him to them It the age of seven with a broken leg to mend. “They will be so tender with the baby and nothing will be left undone." I assured her, “not only to save the little life, but to prevent ugly scarring.” We left the Hospitél together and. parting at the comet she thanked me sincerely for my sympathy.

She had just stepped out of the kitchen into the dining-room to take of! the table- cloth that she had decided. at the last minute. to add to the wash. There was a sound of some heavy object striking the floor. a swish or falling~ water. a childish scream of fright and pain. In a split second. a bright sunny morning had become a nightmare of unbelievable horror. Her three-year-old child had pulled over her a huge pot of boiling water-i Her little body was terribly scald- ed. Her face had miraculously escaped. “Will she live. will she live," sobbed the distracted mother.

A oewildered sad-faced woman preceded me down the low, wide stone stairs leading to the front door of the Hospital. A blanket hung over her arm. "Ah yes,” 1 said to myself. “that sig'nifies only one thing. She has just left her child here for treatment. The poor thing!” I wondered if 1 should try to com- fort her. or it anything 1 might say would only make her feel worse I overtook her as l debated. just in time to steady her as she stumbled on the last step. It came naturally enough that we should drop on a hall bench: and there. seeing my sympathy. she brought forth her desperately tragic story in broken sentences: 1 see by the papa: that the Hos- pital for Sick Children in Toronto is now sending out its Annual Ap- peal for funds to enable it to carry on successfully for the next twelve months.
