Tari BA = SAME i Nn Sees BL a= » ee India's Yield Of Wheat Greater Than Canada's India Agriculturists Visit Can. . ada to Study ligation Two agricultural experts from: "yadla have arrived in Canada apd | travel from Quebec to the ratries chiefly for the purpose of tudying hydro-eleétric. power In gelation to agricultural uses, and ho systems of Irrigating arid. ar: Le. They will also inspect the big am projects In the United States. More Land Under Cultivation Western farmers need have no apprehension abouf India becoming a competitor, It may surprise Can- adlans, however, to bo foformed fhat In a good year India grows more wheat than the Dominion. We _pave come to regard ourselves as the world's granary, yet last year India produced 402,000,000 bushels t wheat, or about 55,000,000 more than Canada, The year before, the Indian yleld exceeded Canada's by 123,000,000 bushels. India has about 18,000,000 more acres under cultl + vation than this country. India Needs Her Grain For Own Peoples : Canada, with a population of 11, 500,000 must have export markets, whereas India, with a population 'ot 350,000,000 needs all her grain for hei own people. Occasionally, India has entered the export mark-- et when prices were high and good profits could be made, but present and future prospects-are that thero i)1 be no encouragement in that Irection, . The reason why hydro-electric and irrigation systems are 'being examined is because India Is sub- ect to droughts and thero is some: times sovere suffering among the natives. All that India wants is to bo self-sufficient and to feed her own people. po | Police Get Queer Request! Mrs. Frank Thissen, Ellen- dale farm mother, wrote Police Chief Frank Forestal:-- "I have six small. children. It's almost impossible to call them on a big farm. The offi- cial » basketball whistle = hasn't enough carrying power, Could I geta in but far-reach- ing, police whistle ?" The chief gent her three whis- tles and said, "take your pick." New Rules On Wheat Marketing Provide Penalties For Breach Of Regulations - Regulations governing the mar- ~keting ot wheat through the Can- adlan Whéat Board for the crop year 1939, especially the 5,000-bush- _._el.limltation ._of .. deliveries, . have... been. issued from the head offices of the 'board.

The chemists estimate that this new compound can be manufactured for less than half the cost of the cheapest syn- thetic plastic compounds now. .on per i VITAMINS AND OLD AGE Evidence that senility and other symptoms of old age are accom- panied by typical signs of vitamin deficiency .was presented recently by Professor L. A. Cherkes, direc- tor of the Odessa Institute of Nu- trition, U.S.S.R. Experiments on animals and numerous observa-® tions on patients showed, he re- ported, that the processes taking place on teeth and bones in old age do not differ in anything from those resulting from a deficiency of vitamins in the organism. "The Cherkes to conclude that the di- tamins from food but also trans- forms a number of inactive food components into activessvitamins. As the body grows older this ca- pacity of the digestive tract grows weaker. Many symptoms of senil- ity, hitherto regarded as manifes- tations of an inevitable physiolo- gical pocess, he believes, are. but' a result of the body not keeping up with its requirements in vitamins, which must be supplied in greater amounts with the advance of the years.- ' . +0 NEW METALLIC COMPOUND Discovery of a new metallic compound capable of cutting and smoothing the toughest metals and harder than the hardest steel used to manufacture tools was reported to the American Chemical Society by Philip M.

One such accident which is fairly frequent among women is the painful hammering _ of a thumb when trying to hammer in a nail! 'Here is a scheme to prevent such a crushing possibility! Next time -you are ready to do odd jobs about the house ;which involve hammer- ing in of nails try sticking the nail through a piece of stout card- board -and- holding it with this-- "timis-hits" are then harmless, and your thumb remains whole! - "The Right Idea An Austrian baron of royal blood, just arrived in Canada and planning to be a farmer, announ- ces that though he fought on the Gernian side in the last war, "1 will fight for the English people "this war, if it comes.
