Prerequisites of Success STUDY: The concluding installment stress- es the importance of study. Never cease studying your work. This does not necessarily mean from a book, where you are doing practical work you study your work by thinking things through. Never fail to do this. Never be satisfied with a su- perficial knowledge of anything. Never be satisfield with snap judg- ments. Ponder each situation and be certain that wisdom is governing your every decisfon. And never put a thing out of your mind yntil you thoroughly understand it. If you do it has maslered you; and how can you be guilty of this? POWER OF OBSERVATION Never cease 1emembering that this cannot be devoleped too highly. It has sometimes been very shocking to me to see the results of unde- veloped power of observation. It makes an employee whose work it reflects seem very mechanical. No doubt most every one has had ex- perienced some surface in the office shinning because it was on the duty list while something right beside it would be stained or dust covered. Always take a liberal view of the work in hand. Ask yourself the question "have I covered the whole ground." VOICE Voice is worthy of consideration. A pleasant speaking voice has a more beneficial effect than 'one might realize on first thought. A harsh tone or one that is high pitch- ed is irritating to most people. And, of course, poor English, which is really no English at all, denotes carelessness over a period of years; it necessarily therefore, beirays a quality you do not want in either shop or office. The above qualifications seem so important. It is very important to every employee. It is likewise im- portant--nay--even more important still that the employer should set the example. If the employer does not cultivate all these attributes to- ward his employees as well as to the outside world, how can he expect his employees to cultivate thes em- portant faculties. Dignity, courtesy and refinement go a long way in making an Impression. And kind and thoughtful consideration, integ- rity, patience and sincerity are most sand, cinders, w coal, etc. 70 Colborne Street West. Phone 605. certainly appealing graces of char- acter.

These experts suggested that the Italian force that was routed off Sardinia on Wednesday, with dam- age to sx of the enemy warships, including a battleship, was attempt- ing to patrol a new line of com- munication, perhap: using French territorial waters off Tunisia to reach Libya, where Marshal Graz- iani's offensive againct Egypt has been stalled for a leng time, and apparently needs reinforcements and supplies. Discover Trouble Apparently the Italians had not | realized that Britain's hold on the Mediterranean had been so 'trengthened by the Fleet Air Arm raid on the Italian naval base of Tarante, Nov. 11, a big force could be used to patrel the western Mediterranean as a separate naval entity, It was evident from the Admir- | alty communique announcing the action off Sardinia that Vice-Ad- al Siy James Somerville has a big It: ~e under his command in the western eid of the Mediterranean His flag is in 4M S.

Now the whole Mediterranean ceems to be under British control, not only with Admiral Somerville's big force in the west. but with strong British forces firmlv estab- that which blocks off the Italians from the Aegean Sea apd from their bases in the Dcdecanese Islands These islands have by fairly steady Royal Air Force | Arm, and, occasional fleet unitsi; Dut Had Chance In the early days of the war the French navy was used to guard the western end of the Mediterranean, leaving the eastern basin to British warships onerating out of the naval bate at Alexandria.

Export Situation Concerning Eggs During the first ten months of 1940, Canadian shipments of eggs to Great Britain totalled more than 350,000 cases, the largest on record and more than ten times the vol- ume saipned in 1939. There still exists this year an opportunity to 2ip an additional quantity under the last British Treasury sanctions for the purchase of eggs in Canada. T'heze experts, made through regu- lar trade channels and without any formal agreements betwen govern- ments, have been a strong stabiliz- ing factor in Canadian egg prices vAls year Alihcugh in recent no fcrmal contracts for the export of eggs were obtained, it is-expected that during 1941 the British Minic- | try of Feed -will continue to pur= | chase CanaZian eggs taken this B ar, according to the Minister of ulture and officials of the Agri | Dcminion Government who recente | ly returned from . Great Britain, inese 'purchases may even be in- | created, depending upon conditions Which may prevail, While maximum | «¥holesale and estagiuched in Great Britain since shortly after war began, eggs have not. been placed on the ration list, and as 1 result the United k dom Government has not ob- ligated jtself to its )eople to main- i tain any assured supp'v. Under these circumstances, British Ministry cf that no agreement on neccessary and so will make its egg purchases under the same method as this year. Under this method the British Ministry of ocd constitutes jtcelf the sole pur= chaser of imported eggs in Great Britain and Canadian exporters | negotiate their sales to the Ministry | through the medium of their agents | located in that country. As indicated there is still an un- on of the last British Treasury sanction for the purchase of Canadian eggs that remains un- filled, Negotiations for the granting of further sanctions are contem- plated. With resvect to the prospects of the Canadian poultry industry in | general, it is already apparent that, as a result of increased industrial activity throughout' Canada, there Is a material increase in demand for PRES on the domestic market, and | Indications are that this will be ac- celerated during the coming year. The immediate outlook, while en- couraging, is not such, however. as will warrant any undue expansion of. the poultry industry in Canada at the present time. In view of the fact that there are at least a mil- retail) have been t the the eggs Was GERMAN ARMY AND PUBLIC DUPED BY FAKE "INVASION" Fifty fully armed German soldiers made repeated landings in Septem- ber on one of the evacuated Channel Islands and duped the German army and public into believing that thou- sands of their troops had invaded England. This is revealed by Fred Hockey, who escaped recently from Guern- sey with two of his sons and five other islanders and for the first time told the complete story of the German occupation of the oldest part of the British Empire. "The funiest piece of propaganda was supposed to be a great secret but the Germans didn't seem to kncw that you can't keep anything secret on an island," said Hockey in describing the "conquest." "Early one morning about 50 Ger- man soldiers, all dressed up for battle and carrying their guns, went off with a few boats and a film camera to the little island of Herm, which is off our east coast. They put the cameraman ashore on the deserted beach and then the German soldiers made a gallant landing from their boats. "Then they got back into the boats and made the landing again and again. They landed on that beach hundreds of times that day till they had a film which looked like thousands and thousands of German soldiers, fully armed, land- ing on a beach. Explains Reports "I suppose they had already taken a film of German troopships leaving Germany," This explains frequent news stories from the war zone describing the amazement of Germans, both elvi- llans and members of the armed forces--after seeing the film of the Invasion--on gjscovering that no German, except those shot out of airplanes, hag janded in Great Britain, : ers following the occupation of the | Channel Islands last June by the Germans are related in a series of articles in the London Herald. Hockey also waf the unwilling vic- tim of the Naz propaganda trick which is employed frequently to show the contentment of conquered peoples under Nazi rule. The in- cident occured, he said, after the i'anders watched a Prussian par- | ade. "Afterwards the Kommandant made a little speech and asked all those of French citizenship to raise their left hands," said Hockey. "There were very few. Then he asked all those of British citizen- ship to raise their right hands and we all put our hands up. "It seemed a bit queer at the time but it wasn't until afierwards that we found out what it was all about. "As we raised our right hands a photographer snapped us--and pic- tures appeared in the German news- papers of the Guernsey islanders' | 'giving the Nazi salute and heiling | Hitler' "I'm told it's an old trick and they did the same thing in Paris. But we didn't know anything about that--all we knew was that we had been cheated into helping their pro. paganda and the whole island was furious. "We couldn't protest but that little trick spoilt any propaganda value of the goose-step parade before us." Hockey's articles also describe how Nazi planes bombed the islands be- fore landing troops, the experiment in socialism which resulted in the islanders going hungry as the Nazis seized the food, and awkward Nazi attempts to "soft soap" the islanders negotiations | prices for eggs | Food decided | continue to | in fie laying pullets on farms ey hen lest, these should be 1bl# to Provice for the increase in 'emand that may take place. How Plant Breeder Aids Crop Production Reszarch on crop production is one of the imporiant phases of tle work of the agricultural scientists :f Canaca, Man Improves upon na- ure, not only by careful manage- ment of the soil, but also through the selection of the seed or stock from which the crop is produced. Modern practices require that seed must 'be pure, free from diseases and insects, and of high vitality. Regulations regarding the grading and disiricution of seed are based upon careful research work, con- firmed by field trials, and finally drafted into laws that are admin- stered by the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture. More fundamental than the ap- pearance and vitality of the sezd, however, are the inherited factors carried in the germ of the seed. The natural law of the survival of the fittest produces hardy strains of plants whos® main characterictic is their ability to survive, and not their usefulness to man: The plant breeder 'takes the most strains that have been developed by selection he improves the yield and quality of the crop. The botanist cearches Canada and other parts of tics to form the basis of improved varieties; the geneticist, the scien- dity, and variation of the plants), and. the cytologist (scientific expert in the cell structure, functions, mul- | tiplicaticn, and life history) study be transmitted by these strains, and combine them with existing domes- ticated strains to produce improved varieties. The great diversity of cli- mate in Canada makes it necessary | to have many varieties capable of producing satisfactory crops under | varying conditions of soil, temper- | ature, light, and moisture. A variety that may prove highly desirable in one area may be quite unsuitable in | another. Winter Protection Of Strawberries | (Experimental Farm News) | The value of mulching as a win- |ter protection cof the strawberry | plantation is undubitable, Many a profit-promising strawberry planta- | tion has reverted to an unprofitable | undeitaking through the failure of the growth to provide his straw- | | berries with winter protection, is [the ovinioin.of R.

The | {growing season of 1940, like that of | 1939, was not conductive to a @pod | runner development and the early runner plants that should have de- veloped into the large vigorcus | fruiting crowns for next year's har- vest were late in rooting down, due! | to the dryness of the surface soil. | These plants and their subsequent | | runners, being in many instances | somewhat subnormal, are particu- | larly in need of adequate winter | | protecticn. | | The chief purpose of a mulch is |to prevent repeated freezing and | thawing, or "heaving" of the soil, | which may injure the roots of the |plants.
