Prof. Rodger J. Williams of Oregon State College. in a report at the so- ciety's opening session, revealed the production of the acid. Although an ameunt of the acid water has been obtained. Professor Willlams disclosed that much has been learned about the factor gov- erning the growth of all forms:of life. The acid, he said, is apparently a universal constituent of all living cells -- plant, animal 'and bacteria. Minute amounts of the acid. he said, have a remarkable effect in stimula- ting the growths of various types of plants and single.cell animals, Fields aflame with brilliant dahlias may be the source of . sizeable por- tion of United States future commer- cial sugar supply, the Soclety was Informed recently. : A method of producing for market sugar twice as sweet as that now by Dr. Wray Reiger:and Prof. Leroy ates at the University of California. Commercial. production already has become a practical possibility, the scientists saw, as the result of the working out of a means of manu- "Southern that of beet sugar. : Professor Weatherby . pointed out that due to the diiference in grow. ing seasons, dahlia sugar could be manufactured in. cane or beet sugar plants during ordinarily idle sea- gons, He said economic possibilities of dehlia sugar are enhanced by its dietary properties. Those on redu- cing diets, the university experi- menters declared, would find in it sweetness with less calories There is the further favorable factor in the belief of most diabetjc patients who cannot utilize common sugar that they can retain sugar of fruits such as dahlia sugar. Another factor in diet was report- ed by Prof. C. A. Elvehjem of the Unlversity of Wisconsin who said infants should be fed a little copper daily, in addition to iron to insure good health, Pasture Grass Is accidents has. included the usual list of rescues by Boy Scouts, and, un- fortunately, an attempted rescue which cost the life of one young Scout hero This was Patrol, Leader Ernest Callow, 17, of Wellington, Ont., who gave his life in an unsuc- cessful attempt to rescue a full grown man, The man clutched him, and the boy was unable to free himself, . * * * Three Truro, N.S, Scouts shared the rescue of a woman who got be- yond her depth in the Salmon river, and disappeared.

C. S. I, supported by Field Marshal Viscount Allenby, G. C. B., the Rt. Hon. Lord Clinton, Colonel R. E. Crompton,-R. E., C. B, Lady Georgina Mure, Sir John Stirling Maxwell, Bt., William Taylor, Esq. Professor R. S. Troup, F. R. S,, and many others of international reput- ation. The Honorary Secretary is Mrs. Guy Winfield, 82° Warwick Road, London, S. W, 5, the Honorary 'Treasurer, the Honorable Mrs, Grant Duff, 16 Mulberry Walk, London, S. Ww. 3. The movement has made steady progress durdng the past eight years, with the result that the Men of the Trees have gathered to themselves thinking people throughout the world, who recognize that the art of forestry and the creation of a uni- versal tree-sense is essential to the progress and well-being of mankind. The Men of the Trees is a volun- tary organization to plant and pro- tect trees; to encourage Arbor Days and ceremonial tree planting as liv- ing memorials; to support legislat- ion to develop forests and parks and tree protection; to advocate living Christmas trees rather than ruthless slaughter of our forests; to visit famous trees, forests and gardens; to hold meetings and exhibits of tree paintings, photographs with com- petitions, lectures and broadcasts...

There is a mistaken idea with some farmers that grass is too soft a ration for. horses at work. This is true only in degree. Grass is the horse's natural food. A few minutes is enough at the start, depending upon the luxuriance of the pasture. The grass paddock near the barns, which ghould be in. cluded in every farm equipment, be- comes the most handy place to ac. custam horses to grass or pick up a daily short feed as a tonic to fit the horse for thé strenuous days, : Grass comes at a season of the year when the animal is changing its coat of hair and re-establishing its' whole constituton.

EVERY DAY LIVING Despite the threatenings of war, there is a NS mind toward peace in the world today. Of course, militaristic and pacifists alike some. times advance extravagant argu- , ments in favor of their own particu. lar view. But the fact is, the peace and war issue is one of the greatest issues in the modern world and ev- erybody is thinking about it more or less, y A correspondent wrote to me the other day asking: "How can we pos- sibly expect nations to live at peace with each other when it seems ab- golutely impossible for individuals to do so? Every family has its squabbles and the closest of friends quarrel occasionally", my friend wrote, and then went on to cite instances from his own fanfily, Now, on the face of it, there does geem to be the germ of a perfectly reasonable argument there--an argu- which to say the least, seems feas- ible. But if my correspondent had only taken time to think deeply enoug', he might have seen that ft is rather a foolish argument when it is probed into. Think- of it this way--there i8 no reason why people should be ex. pected to see eye to eye with each other in everything just because fate born into the same family, Children of the same parents often, indeed al- ways, have physical differences, and they are naturally mentally different algo. It is foolith to Imagine that, simp'y because they have been born born of the same parents they have therefore been physically and ment. ally cast, in the same -mold. Very naturally, they differ in thought and in outlook even although they may have many things in comtnon, And ' that 1s exactly; as it should be. Nor is that any obstacle to living rarmon- fously together. At least, it ought not to be. After all, we must be willing sure- ly to recognize that, agreement does not necessarly mean seeing eye to eyo with each .other in everything. That is a point that is often overlook. ed. Agreement means, rather, each party to the agreement conceding to each other of the other parties to the agreement, the right to his own op- infon, conviction, and point of view. We can oniy he in agreement when everybody agrees to give everybody else freedom to carry on his own al- fairs in his own way and as he (thinks "I best. ; "Remembering that, there is one thing that would help us tn attain to the ideal of peace quicker than anything else, and it is the all round ment against the possibility of peacej- has decreed that they should = be} "lems the two types of research It's bigger!

DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO LARGE PLUG 20% Agricultural Research Dictionaries define 'research' as a critical examination in search of facts or principles. Fact.finding re- gearch is a scientific study for the discovery of fact:; and fundamental research is a scientific enquiry into rolationships, principles and causes. In many complex agricultural prob- are closely associated, and the distinct. jon in many cases cannot ea:ily be drawn. The term "agricultural re- search," as commonly employed in Canada, embraces the wilde [icld of scientific investigation from fact finding experiments on the one hand to fundamental research on the other "The easy things in agricultural re- search have largely been done," Dr. J. M. Swaine, Director of Research, Dominion Department of Agriculture, told the 156th convention of the Can- adian Society of Technical Agricul- turists at Edmonton, Alberta, They were now faced, he said, with a grea- ter percentage of the more complex and more difficult problems which fact-finding research has failed, and non.interference in the private al- fairs of the other fellow.

A Guide To The . Age Of Cattle Thereis no reliable guide to ge in cattle, as although the teeth are generally regarded as indicators, their condition is so affected by the character of the grazing-or feed that it is impossible to place faith In them. A calf has eight small teeth in the jaw at birth. When 15 or 18 months old the two large central incisors make their appearance. At 2 1-4 'to 2 1.2 years the next permanent teeth ghow up. The third pair will be re- placed at about three years, and at four years the cow has its mouth full of permanent incisors. With advancing age, wear down and become loosg, and spaces show between them. This | makes it more difficult each year for the animal to -maintain condition, | even on good. grazing, and necessi- "tates more hand feeding. The teeth | "may wear right down to the gums; 'without falling out. But should they, loosen, they are best drawn, and the 'cow hand-fed until the gums harden. | A rough and ready method of com "puting age is- sometimes adopted. The rings on the horn of the cow; are counted, and it' is estimated that the animal has had a many calves the teeth i", af there are rings. | will forever, fail to solve, There were new © problems--possibilities disclos- ed as a result or recent researches-- with many of which fundamental re- searches in hoth field and laboratory are urgently required. The great ben- efits that have resulted from funda. mental research, in the field and in the laboratory, and the evident need 'for more investigation of this type in connection with many agricultural problems today were ample justifi- cation for placing gpecial emphasis upon it, The problems with which Canada was faced would require all its rtesources for agricultural re- gearch. CROPS THAT ARE SOIL IMPROVERS Enriching The Farm Without Robbing The Soil "Farmer: who do not have a regu- lar crop rotation and do not include the leguminous crops (clovers and alfalfa) are not going to succeed, The adverse. influencel upon clover are lack of drainage, lack of lime and soil acidity, Much waste goes on where high priced clover seed is put into land so sour that clover bacteria cannot thrive. Farms in this condi- tion rapidly decline as they are de- nied the medium that would enrich them and their owners. Alfalfa has somewhat a 'similar his- tory; the only difference between them is that clovers are suitable for short rations and alfalfa fits in where longer rotations are. necessary. But like. clover, alfalfa will not grow on a wet soggy soil or on a soil that has a hard pan under the surface for 3 or 4 feet with underwater undrained away. Alfalfa cannot be grown upon a soll that is deficient in lime cr that upon which cannot be grown any other crop or where there jis in_ut- ficient fertility. The roots of alfal. fa and clover fill the soil with organ. fc matter, improving the condition ot the soil and sub-soil., Their rocts of- ten penetrate down to the distance of eight feet in their search for food, Clovers alfalfa and all Jeguminous plants are soil improvers; the more thy ure grown the better the land will be where they are grown thus contributing to the huilding up of the rest of the farm, They are dual pur- pose plants, they feed the coil and the cow in the barn at the same time, The Winter killing of clover is lar- ely climatic, but much of its evil el- fects can be overcome by under-drain- ing and liming, and getting land in fertile shape to resist the climatic condition. Winter kil.ing ot clover does not however effect its utility as a soil improver when plewed under. "I have nothing to fear from any- one."---Benito Mussolini.
