This year, however, the disease is causing serâ€" ious losses. Without a doubt the exceptionally cool nights accompan- ied by rains during the past spring favoured the development of the dis- ease. Unless a careful examination of the root systems of affected plants is made for dead rootlets or discoloured lesions on living rootlets the determination of this trouble is difficult. Frequently the only above- ground symptom of this disease is a stunting of the affected plants. Usually, however, plants in affected fields are also uneven in size and often the diseased plants are lighter in colour than healthy plants, and the lower leaves in more severe cases become streaked and die. It should also be mentioned that the presence of root-rot organisms in the soil is frequently responsible for poor ger- mination and resultant uneven stands of corn. ‘ An Ideal Seed Exhibit An ideal seed exhibit for a seed fair consists of one made up of ker- nels typical of the variety and near- ly alike as possible in size, shape and colour. The whole exhibit should present a sound; vigorous, lustrous appearance and should be free from all impuribies Vandi all evidence of disease and unsoundness. [ Nutritional Value of Alfalfa L Experiments in the feeding of 'sheep for the correction of nutri- tional deficiencies common to breed- ing ewes,'fed under range condi- tions and on farms in western Can- ada, have resulted in findings which are likely to prove of great value to sheep ranchers and farmers. The University of Alberta, in coâ€"opera- tion with the National Research lCouncil, has been carrying on ex- periments aimed to improve rations ifor breeding ewes in years when {winters are long and grazing is dif- lficult, or when as a result of drought lthe variety of feeds produced on ifarms is restricted. ' Corn Root-Rot in Ontario Undoubtedly numerous corn grow- ers, particularly those in Essex, Kent, and Elgin Counties, have been wondering why their corn is so un- even in size and has made relatively slow growth in certain areas ‘of the field. One of the factors largely responsible for this condition has been determined to be a root-rot con- tion. The findings of the experiments are of special significance in view of the greater volume of alfalfa now being prodilced in the prairie prov- inces and throughout Canada. Experiments covering a period of years show ‘that alfalfa hay con- tains ingredients which approximate quite closely those contained in na- tural pastures. Ewes receiving alf- alfa hay as part of the ration re- tained their thriftiness, reproductive capacity and general health over a period of eighteen months, even though kept on dry feed summer and winter. The value of "this information to ranchers and farmers is that it sug- gests the importance of feeding alf- alfa hay at all times. When due to adverse climatic conditions, feed has to be bought or made available on the range or on farms, first con- sideration should be given to the purchase of alfalfa hay, especially if required for breeding stock. ed. Sugar beets and other root Cl'op': are variable. Pastures are in poor condition and new growth has made little progress. Late varieties of apples are sizing well and with a favourable autumn average yields are indicated. The growth of to- bacco has been retarded and yields will be curtailed. Priming of flue- cured tobacco has commenced and burley is in topping-stage. The crop is about two weeks’ later than nor- mal and favourable autumn weather conditions are required. J. R.

For instance, one of the greatest men of our time, Thomas Edison, did his very greatest work at an advanced age and yet he in- dulged in only 4 hours’ sleep per night; and 4 hours was the allow- ance of sleep Napoleon permitted himself. But the latter’s experience differed from that of Edison, for he was burned out early in years. He died of cancer, it is true, and while we do not know yet that there is any relation between cancer and nervous exhaustion there is reason to believe that his later battles and campaigns were lost by a man whose nervous energy was exhausted. It is not with the desire to en- courage idleness’that we point to the necessity of the average man. and woman with responsibilities taking lthe normal eight hours’ sleep per ,night such as advocated. Rather it jis because the conditions which‘mod- ‘ern life imposes on us encourage us to cheat ourselves of that reason- ‘able amount of sleep which is ne- cessary if the human system is not going to get out of gear. Compared with» animals, human beings have few natural resting habits and dis- positions. That is partly because of our more active brains; the mind is constantly making suggestions for further activity. For many ‘1'easons man is a very restless organism; and the tax is apt to be nervous exhaus- tion. As someone has said, “If you would live long, you must live slow- 1y." These figures may strike ambi- tious people as rather alarming. We are apt to dislike the idea that all those valuable years in one lifetime are to be spent in mere slumber. But we must remember that “Sleep is a generous thief. It restores to energy what it steals from time.” Let us now consider just howl much time We do spend in sleep. The ordinary man, without knowing it, in the course of an ordinary life- time, spends about as much time in slumber as Rip Van Winkle. The following table shows how much time the average person has to sleep if he spends the normal amount of time in that way and if he lives to the ripe age of threeâ€"score and ten. You who are listening to this talk make a note when your age is mentioned, and see that you henceforth get what is coming to you. If you are twenty, you will sleep 16 years, 8 months, 3 days and 8 hours. If you are now thirty you will sleep 13 years, 4 months, 1 day and 16 hours. If you are now forty you will sleep ten years. If you are now fifty you will sleep 6 years, 8 months, 3 days and 8 hours. If you are now sixty you will sleep 3 years, 4 months, 1 day and 16 h0urs.n If you are now sixty-five, you; will sleep 1 year, 8 months, 3 days and 8 hours. During the last war on marches the customary thing was to march for a period and‘ rest for a much shorter period, and it was found that a greater distance could be travers- ed in this way than by keeping: right straight ahead for a longer and more continuous period. self the proper opportunity. Many people have found that a few min- utes relaxation even without sleep restores body vigour to enable them to carry on any particular problem with which they may be concerned. It has been stated that man is the only animal who does not sleep after a meal. Most of us take a meal and immediately start in to work where we left off. Ten or fifteen minutes complete relaxation after a meal is well worth the apparent loss of time. No doubt many of you know peo- ple who can completely rela'x for a comparatively short period of time, ten to twenty minutes, and start in as refreshed as if they had had sev- eral hours in bed. To those of you who are working at high tension let me advise breaking the tension with relaxation at periodic intervals dur- ing the day. “No subject is more timely than the importance of rest, for there are probably more tired people in the world today than ever before. Ner- vous exhaustion has taken the place of the old-fashioned stomach-ache as the prevalent complaint of the times. The direct result of our strenuous life is that everywhere people are skimping on sleep. Before dwelling on the subject of sleep I should like to point out that considerable rest may be obtained even though actual sleep does not take place providing one gives him- OWMWQONMNOWON QWMOMOOOWWOWWW the W1 THE LIBER AL.

It may be thought a very commendable virtue to come out of bed in the morning with a bound. It is perhaps the habit of you who are listening- to me. But ‘the sudden change in circulation thus lbrought about is not in your best interest. Rise at a regular hour by all means, and there should then be no reason for such apparent alacrity. Make your adjustment more leisure- ly from the horizontal position which you have been keeping for the past eight hours to the vertical one, and you will get one more last advant-l If one is inclined to be early one evening and late the next, the brain His likely to decide that the late hour is the one which it will select for falling asleep. If one will select a certain hour each night as the time 'for going to sleep the nervous sys- tem is likely. to respond automati- cally. Shakespeare said, “How use doth breed a habit in a man,” and whether he knew it or not, he was referring to the quiet automatic way our nervous systems adjust them- selves to our usages. It is a mistake to doze off in the evening before definitely going to bed. This takes us to bed in a state of mind that is half-asleep and half- awake, so that it is difficult to have complete sleep when bedtime comes. As the digestive system requires rest. and takes it best While we sleep, it is unwise to indulge in late suprers. There should be an inter- val of at least an hour and a half to two hours between the last meal and the time of going to bed. It ‘is however, a good plan for people who have difficulty in getting to sleep, to take a warm drink the last thing before going to bed. It should not, of course, be a nerve-stimulant such as tea or coffee. One is often asked which is the best position in which to sleep. This is a matter of no importance, be- cause the position of the body is constantly being changed through the night. Little by little, at intervals of from twenty to forty minutes, the position is shifted, so that you may turn completely over several times in the night and yet be ready to swear you never moved. So you need not worry about the position in which you sleep; the body will attend to that for itself. As for the roomâ€"every possible precaution should be taken against noise. There is nothing quite as conducive to proper rest as perfect silence. With the mighty growth of cities, and the development of so many methods of transportation all of which are adding their contribu- tion to the general clamour around us, we should consider and use every means for keeping out of the r00m in which we sleep, those multitudiâ€" nous noises which bombard our homes. It has been found experi- mentally that noises which are in- sufficient to arouse the sleeper nev- ertheless have their effect on the nervous system and‘ render sleep leSS restful and less effective. In cases where sleep is especially need- ed, or in people who are easilv dis- turbed, a plug of cotton woo}, lightly greased with vaseline, placed in the ear, is found to be of great help in securing sounder sleep. Upon consideration of the facts we have already given you, of how many of the next few years you are likely to spend in slumber, it is perhaps not out of the way to make a sug- gestion or two about the beds we use, the clothes we wear and the room in which we sleep. About the beds â€" they should be neither too hard nor too soft. The person who reports he is “just as tired when he wakes up as when he went to bed,” is likely a heavy man who is sleep- ing on too soft a bed. 071 the other hand the bed should not be too hard, or the body cannot rest properly. Perhaps the bedclothes are too heavy; it should be remembered that an eiderdown quilt, of the type that almost everyone uses, is worth sev- eral blankets in warmth. The cloth- ing of a personal nature should also be light, but should give adequate warmth. It is important that the feet be kept warm. Good ventilation in the room you use for sleeping is very important. It is a good plan to pull the bed away from the wall a few inches to insure free circula- tion all around. and insor nni cegular hours are an im- actor in the matter of 'Iany people who suffer :mia have a lack of punc- blame for their suffering, ills that can be inflicted there is nothing quite as to the nervous system as 09009009 pin 0990999909 ‘81) we the 'norm IS 1m On the 18th Beth- Wilson gave a birthday party to her young friends when the guests enjoyed games, a fine birthday luncheon and Beth re- ‘eived some lovely gifts and good wishes for many more happy birthâ€" days.
