Marketing of Apples Discussed at Ottawa should be used with it. Midoummer Mixtures Using charts ta illustrate his Points, Dr. Tossell showed which mixtures are best ta keep forage crops ùp in midiummer when there ir litle growth due ta lack of raim. It has been shown that irrigation will double forage crop -production In midsummer, but he Pointed out that this is an expensive proposition. A summer forage crop should make use af allfa,-the speak-r stated, since it grows Well an dry land. It is also a legume and therefare supplies nitrogen ta the soil ta nourish the grasses in the mixture. "We should try ta build our summer mixtures aroUind alfalfa," Dr. Tosseil de- clared. The disadvantages of alfalfa are that it constitutes a bloat hazard mn some areas, and it also goes out aiter two or three years. Orchard ar brome grass used with alfalfa cuts down the bloat bzard, he said., He pointed out that a legume lft a mixture doubles gràss produc- tion. For early'eutting or grazing, Dr. Tossell recommended a mixture of Vernal alfalfa, 9; La- Salle red claver, ?; Climax tim- othy, 5; and arch ard grass, 3. This mixture gîves a good aiter- math crop as well, he said.. A good later mixture is alialfa, 7; red claver, 3; timothy, 3; and brome grass, 7. This gives an average hay crop and a good afteqn ath. For a late cutting crop, Dr. Tossell recammended alfalfa, 8; brome grass, 10; an~d for a very late crap, Birdsfoot Trefail, timothy and brome grass. The speaker pointd'd out that it is better ta divide a large field into twa or three smaller fields and use a simpler mixture an these fields, rather than ta seedt the entire field with a complex1 mixture.

Not Comme Children Co Every year about this time we hear the same story: Christ- mas is getting too commercial. Last year, in fact, sonvp grown-ups rebelled and said because Christmas was getting "so commercial" they intende-1 ta tell their children that thiere was no Santa Claus. 1 Like little Virginia O'Han- on, wvho wrote the famous "Is there a Santa" letter to theŽ editor of the New York Sun, children are very easilv disillu- sioned. But, like Virginia, thcy need only reassurance ironi seomeone they believe in ta sus- tain their wonderful belief. It is entirely wrong for us ta shat- ter their dreams. Christmas is commercial ;n Erme aspects. Thouýands ri people earn a livelihood work- ing the year around in toy shops or factories which pro- duce Christmas specialties. This, in itself, does nat malce Christmas '100 commercial," for toymakers have produced Christmas noyelties for hua- dreds ai years. \ In the same vein, we can not say Christ- mas is too commercial merely because newspapers, magazines and catalogues are iilled with gifts advertising as the holiday season approaches. They ad- vertise Spring , merchandise, Fal merchandise. etc., so why not Christmas merchandise, when the dominant theme is one of giving? No-"Too commercial" is an averstatement. Chistmas is too commercial only in th-2 ercîal if nsidered ethe "tru#ý spirit" of the season abounds about us and flot at- tcnpt to take away from chil- dren the joy of one of the greatest moments in their young lives---the time wvhei Sa nta visits. For-"he exiss as certainiy as love and generosity and de- votion t'xist, and you knaov that theY abound and give to life its highest beauty and jo;'. Alasl How drcary would be the world if there wvas no Santa Claus!" Let there be a Santa as long as there are littie Virginias. ITV HAS A"NARROW VIEWPOLN, WE CAN BROADEN ITS OUTLOOK!
