Announces “Z” Nickel Dr. Paul D. Merica, vice-presi- dent of the International Nickel Company of Canada and noted re- search authority on alloys, who announced the development, af- ter six years of study of a new material known as ‘Z” nickel with strength comparable with that of steel. Dr. Merica was recently awarded the 1938- John Fritz gold medal for his outstanding- work in the field of alloys. I Farm Column ! Sÿ-r-6£â€"flyâ€"Oâ€"oâ€"'ï â€"6â€"Oâ€" (Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell with the co-operation of the various ' departments of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.) Q. “Would you advise a person to top-dress fall wheat, and would you dress it lightly or heavily? And when we sowed it, we put- 200 lbs. of fertilizer on it. Would you advise me to put straw or manure on the strawberries-, and would you put it on lightly, or heavy?’’ â€" C. P., of Bruce County. A. Light dressing of strawy man- ure would be a good protection for fall wheat. I would not suggest a heavy top-dressing in addition to 200 lbs. per acre of fertilizer. You do not say what analysis was used, but the protection I mentioned should be beneficial. Regarding the putting ;of straw or strawy manure on strawberries, I would say. that il is the practice of strawberry growers on light soils to apply a fairly good application of strawy manure in the Fall. This adds to the plantfood which is av- ailable when the strawberries are ready to grow in the Spring, and it causes the snow to lodge as pro- tection for tire crop. When the growers are not able to obtain a strawy manure, they put on a good covering of straw. Q. “A person tells me if I sow fertilizer containing more than 2 per centA-lime that the lime will counteract on the fertilizer, thereby making it useless, while another says I. may use fertilizer contain- ing 60 .per cent, lime and still be as good.” Would you be good en- ough to put, me right on this?” H. 1). -- Essex County. A. Whether or not lime will react on fertilizer and counteract the ef- fect of the phosphates, will depend upon the form of lime, the form of materials used in the fertilizer, and the length of time they are in con- tact. If the lime should be air-slak- ed burnt lime, it would be very ac- tive in reaction, or turning back the soluble phosphate to the insol- uble form. If the lime is natural ground calcium , carbonate lime- stone, it will not act so quickly. If the lime is largely magnesium car- bonate or dolomitie limestone, the reaction will be slowest. 2 per cent, would be 40 lbs. in a ton. I believe It is possible to use double or triple this amount without much rever- sion, providing the mixed materials <30 not stand very long. 60 per cent, or 1,200 lbs. per ton seems to me to bo an excessive amount of ground limestone to put in a mixture. I know that this has been done in certain cases where such concen- trated material as ammo-plios (11- 48) used as a better business to put in just enough lime to make up a mixture to the half ton total where ammo-phos and concentrated potash are used, and reduce the amounts applied per acre.

Thirty grams of rare radium would be required to produce the radium elements obtained by the Joliot-Cui'ies. This is a remarkable achievement in view of the fact that the world radium supply is only 10 grams. â€"oâ€" FEVER AND ARTHRITIS Artificial fever â€" produced by electricityâ€"is pictured as a possi- ble key to the successful treat- ment of arthritis and asthma. Such a, fever, or temperature, when raised to a point that might result in death if produced by the body itself, has been used with some success in 133 cases of chronic arthritis, â€"oâ€" TO REACH THE MOON There is no present possibility of man visiting the moon, but it would be rash to predict that such a visit will remain unmade, Dr. Peter M. Millman of the staff of the Dunlap Observatory said last week. But if it were possible for man to visit the, moon, he would have to â-  learn to walk all over again. “A space ship travelling 150 miles an hour would require 1,000 hours to reach the moon,” he said. â-  --o--: ELECTRIC BRAIN DOES ARITHMETIC A mathematical brain operated by electrical waves that will quickly solve equations has been invented independently at the University of Pennsylvania and at the Radio Corporation of America laboratories. When direct current, is used the electrical brain will solve equations having real roots, and when alternating currents are used it will solve-the equations when the roots are imaginary. for the corresponding period of 1937, a de- crease of ........66,144 Quebec Leads In Number of Blind The [BOOK SHELF] I By ELIZABETH EEtiY !! “MY SEVENTY YEARS” by Mrs. George Black, M.P.

Make Survey of Blindness A staff of about GO doctors is being kept busy throughout the Dominion making the necessary physical examinations. Though the act has actually been in force only a few months, the medical staff has virtually caught up with the rush which resulted when pen- sions were first granted. Once the examinations are com- pleted, the medical staff will launch on a general survey of blindness in Canada. This will be designed to collect data as to age- groups, causes of blindness and other valuable information.

HAMPSON, B.S.A., Hamilton, Vice-President ol the Ontario Pro- vincial Winter Fair, Guelph, the old- est organization of its kind in On- tario.

Fat Actually Shortens Life It has long been argued that fat persons live shorter lives than other people. Dr, "Louis I. Dublin, of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., decided to test this theory on women. At a meeting of Life In- surance Medical Directors in New York, he cited statistics based on 121,248 women’s policies and con- cluded: “The extra weight carried by these women eventually causes premature breakdown of the cir- culatory system.” ‘‘As soon as the cold weather comes I have to stop playing bil- liards,” said Smith. “How’s that?” asked his friend. “Every time the three balls get together they remind me of my ov- ercoat.” Customer (to head waiter): “Just as a matter of curiosity did the waiter who took my order leave any family?” “Darling, would you love me it I had only one eye?” “Why, no, dear. What a thing to say!” “Very well, then. Let me carry that umbrella.” “Last week my husband went rabbit-hunting, and we’ve since put up enough meat to last us a year.” Neighbour â€" “He must be a cracker shot -â€" getting all those rabbits." “Oh, hubby didn’t shoot any rabbits. He hit a cow.” Customer ------ ‘1 want a ton of coal,” Dealer :â€" “What, size?” Customer â€" “A .2,000-pound ton, if it’s not asking too much.” Andrew Carnegie, the financier, had himself aroused each morning by the playing of the bagpipes. Everyone is of some use, even if nothing more than serv- ing as a horrible example.

Thousands of gold sovereigns were carried by air freight re- cently from Croydon, England, to Amsterdam, Holland. Small Timber Cut Predicted Hon. Peter Heenan, Ontario minister of lands and forests, said last week the province faces the prospect of one of the smallest timber cuts in recent years. Only a few small operations were scheduled throughout the northwestern part of the province, Mr. Heenan said. A survey of the timber areas had disclosed pulp and paper companies and lumber mills had overcut beyond their needs last yea1);- and as a result their yards were filled with enough timber to last them the entire winter.
