WINNING GROWERS DESCRIBE METHODS Feeding Lettuce and Cabbage Plants Essential in Obtaining Quality That proper feeding of garden crops has a direct effect on quality, is well demonstrated this season by the experience of Cooke Bros. of Cataraqui, winners in the Feld Crop Competition for both cabbage and lettuce conducted by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture in Eastern Ontario. "We use nitrate of soda on both crops," states W. J. Cooke, formerly president of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association, "A side-dress- ing of 300 pounds to the acre is ap- plied after the cabbage is set and the same application is given again in two or three weeks if the weather is cold and backward. = Planting is done generally the last week in Ap- ril when bacterial action is low and in this district this condition may continue for a month. Lettuce is transplanted from beds to the field. When the rows are marked, before plowing out with a hand plow, the nitrate is broadcast along the mark at the rate of 300 pounds to the acre and generally no later application is made." A very similar practice is followed by Sanderson Bros. of London, win- ners of the second prize for cabbage in the same competition in the Wes- tern Ontario section. N., T, Sander- son, who is president of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Association, de- scribes his practice as follows: "The plants were set out about the first week in May and ten days later they were given an application of nitrate at the rate of about 400 pounds to the acre of twelve to fourteen thou- sand plants. This was scattered around the plants and hoed in, Ten days to two weeks later they were given another application of about half the former quantity, dissolved with the bichloride of mercury for maggot. A third application was given ten days or so later at about the first rate. These applications were in addition to manure and oth- cr fertilizers," DENTAL GLINIC AT (. N.

OFT-RENAMED SHIP GOES TO MUSSOLINI Italian Dictator ~ Acquires Yacht of World-Wide Adventures Aug. T--After career under Muggiano, Italy, arf adventuresome many flags, Aurora, allas half a dozen other names, will soon be completely refitted for use as the personal yacht of Premier Musso- lini. When the yacht is finished fit will be oen of the most luxurious in the world. Among its furnish- ings will be some world-famous paintings given by various galler- ies of Italy. It will carry two small cannon with which to return salvos of salutes. The Aurora was born under an English flag and christened the Nirvana. The Austrian Govern- ment--before the war--acquired possession of her and namer her Taurus. The yacht was sent to Constantinople, when the seat of the Turkish Government was there, and placed at the disposal of the Austrian Ambassador to Turkey. During the war Italy seized the yacht and gave it the name of Ma- rechiaro. After the war the Mare- chiaro was turned over to the Navy Department and practically passed out of notice for ten years. When Premier Mussolini, how- ever, expressed a desire to be able to make short sea trips without calling for a ship of war, naval of- ficers thought of the Marechiaro. Now after many years the yacht is entering the proudest months of her career. It is possible the Pre- mier may make use of her this summer. About the only steps remaining that pedestrians may take to pro- tect their rights are fast ones.-- Boston Transcript.

C, Aug. 7--Emile died Saturday Washington, Berliner, inventor, his home. The inventor of the gramophone, the first disc record talking machine, and the telephone transmitter, had been ill only about nine days. Berliner was 79 years of age. With the telephone transmitter and the disc-record talking machine al- ready to the credit of his inventive genius, Emile Berliner in his later years, was associated with his son Henry in an advisory capacity for the development of" the helicopter-- an aircraft capable of rising straight up from the ground. The versatility of this German im- pigraat, who travelled the rough road of experience in the carlier years of his life in the United States was exhibited in the various voca- tions he followed ere fortune re- warded him. He sold glue, painted backgrounds on enlarged photographs and travelled as a salesman for a Milwaukee wholesale house, at vari- ous times. between 1870, 'when he reached the United States, until he went to Washington in 1877 to begin experimenting. During his had at leisure time he Mr. | studied electricity and' acoustics and while a clerk in a Washington store, he evolved the idea of the loose coi- tact transmitter or microphone, which placed the telephone on an advanced commercial basis, some three years after Bell and Watson had invented the telephone in Boston. Later the microphone was to become also the soul of radio broadcasting, In 1887 he achieved the scientific discovery that placed his name in the forefront of inventors by giving the world the gramophone, This talking machine utilized the disc record, also his invention, and a horizontal wave groove, rather than the cylinder up and down groove, He invented and perfected, as well, the present method of duplicating disc records. - Rewarded for Inventions For his gramophone invention he was awarded the John Scott medal and Elliott Cresson gold medal by Franklin Institute, Philadelphia Mr. Berliner exhibited his adapt- ability in yet another sphere by in- teresting himself in 1900 in the cause of the high death rate among babies, which he traced to the dang gers of raw milk. He was instrumental in establishing milk standards, which were used and accepted in modified form by all the large cities' of the country. Early in this century he also wrote a small book, entitled "Conclusions." along religious and philosophical lines He attributed his success to his ag- nostioism, but was e¢areful to differ- entiate between this and atheism. In explanation, he declared that in term- ing himself an agnostic, "I mean, that I do not know." With this in- tellectaal huniility, he was convinced that one could learn far better. sccond Size 5.8 x 8.0 Anglo Persian Rugs Beautiful, rich, Oriental colorings are the feature of these fine rugs, the patterns are woven through like a real Persian, the fact that they are machine made instead of by hand, accounts for the very low price and also for the fine even weave.
