RUST THRATENS CROPS Frost and rust are the two most serious threats to the Sas- katchewan wheat crop officials of the Saskatchewan wheat pool report. At left, (circled) take hold on a head of wheat, picked from a field near Regina. The plant fungus, blown in spore form from the southern United States, robs wheat ker- rust pustules | nels of nutrition, and causes lower grades of wheat and poor yields, At right a wheat stem, magnified many times, shows the gffect of rust of major con- cery' also in neighboring Mani- toba, Alberta. Dry, temperate weather is needed to keep down the fungus which thrives in hot, damp climate. (CP Photo). COURTICE Caravan Work Is Explained MRS. C, W.

WASHINGTON -- Animals sometimes strike up friendships almost as strange -- in some cases just as strange -- as the companionship of the wolf and lamb, leopard and goat, calf and jon. and cow and bear cited in the e. Scenes of unexpected sociability in the animal world similar to those depicted in Isaiah 11:87 scientific laboratories. They raise anew -- but do not answer -- the stifying question: Can the oy oe taken out of ani- Cats and rats, thought of as "natural enemies," have lived together in harmony, says the Na- tional Geographic Society. The 1949 Broo! -Long Island Cat Club show displayed a tabby eat- ing with a white rat. A Siamese kitten and a white rat were play- mates in an El Segundo (Calif.) home. Recently a psychologist conditioned a rat-killer to eat meekly beside its "victim", ANIMALS BELIEVED LONELY. With the aid of man, wild ani- mals at times befriend domesti- cated creatures, possibly to dispel loneliness. A British trainer re- ported he placed a 9-month-old Labrador dog in a lion's cage. The lion sniffed the dog, licked its face. They became fast friends. The same dog hunted with an 18-month-old leopard. The trainer tried another experiment in ani- mal relations, He placed the lion and leopard cages together so that the two cats would get ac- quainted. Ordinarily lions, and leo- pards_show no signs of fraterniz- ing. But these two became the exception. They like one another and shared a cage. There are instances of captive lions interbreeding with tigers. The hybrids, larger than their parents, wore a pattern of pale strides. _At one zoo a newly captured COCKER POPULAR The small cocker spaniel -- now a popular pet among sub- urban and apartment dwellers --| was a favorite in Queen Eliza- beth's day, says the National Geo- graphic Society. In explaining their appeal, Dr. John Caius, 16th century court physician, wrote: "These dogges are little, pretty and fyne, and sought for to satis- fie the delicatengss of daintie dames." The original academic gown was a "decent habit", a full length of dark cloth which, with the tonsure, was required dress for students in . most medieval universities. The hood was a com- mon part of civilian dress and had no special significance. PRESCRIPTIONS Quickly and Accypotely Filled MITCHELL'S DRUG STORE 9 Simcoe N.

In the Basle zoo a stoat e) ate all brown rats but one, its friend. A terrarium once housed snakes which consumed their normal meal of mice -- ex- cept one house mouse. At a Grand Rapids (Michigan) museum a weasel recently refused to eat its dinner, a white mouse. They both shared horsemeat given the weasel as a between-mouse snack. COMPANIONS IN THE OPEN In the open, prong-horned ante- lopes join herds of tame cattle. Wild zebras graze among domest- icated horses. Wild asses, ante- lopes, yaks and horses mingle. Id buffalo associate with ele- phants. Antelopes and ostriches sometimes are found among ba- boons. Stories of foster parents are in- numerable, many of them sus- fect. They include chickens mo- ering puppies and kittens, cats mothering mice, ducklings, chicks, owls and rabbits and dogs mothering bear cubs and pigs. A dachshund was recently repre- sented as adopting a donkey colt. However, it's a fact that more than one zoo, including Washing- ton's have used dogs to nurse lion cubs. In the Sydney zoo a venerable sheep dog nursed a cub, When it grew up, the dog exerted such influence over the lion the pair had to be separated. Visitors complained the sheep dog bullied the lion! . By BRUCE QUAYLE "I read the other day that some- one once suggested making gaso- line out of sawdust," a ffiend said to me recently, "and a few months ago an old gent said he could make gasoline out of water. A couple of screwballs!" "Not quite that bad," guy who just had a mig imprac- tical idea." It happened I knew the fellow with the idea for making sawdust motor fuel was the head of a United States forestry service experimental station in the Wis consin lumbering country. In 1917, when the nation was experiencing some war caused gasoline famines, he suggested that mountains of waste sawdust be converted into alcohol for use as motor fuel. He estimated that a ton of this waste gust would yield 20 to 25 gallons of fuel. The forester's idea was just one of hundreds of ersatz gasoline. Ever since motorists learned to use- that 20th centry phrase 'fill 'er up", folks contemplating a shortage of gasoline, or just eager for a slice of the motor fuel market, have thought up ideas for gasoline substitutes. Like the sawdust no- tion, few have gotten very far, but they offer amunsing sidelights to the go of this nation on wheels. COCONUTS USED Many of the ideas have had to do with making alcohol from a wide variety of materials. Alcohol can be a good motor fuel, if you have enough of it, and it might be interesting to list a few of the materials used from time to time as power alcohol sources. Such a list would include castor oil, coco- nuts, corn oil, cotton seeds, fish oil, fur-fural, grape seeds, peanuts, hempseed, mustard seeds, olives, palm oil, pine root, soybeans, se- same oil, raisins, sunflowers and corn husks. I offered.

Tests by trucking compan- es proved the fuel successful, but the fruit crop slumped and "prick- ly pear premium' did not last ong. In 1927, the United Power Syndi- cate, of New York, offered securit- ies in a firm that proposed to make aso from garbage. The New ork state Juoraey eneral ex- ressed doubt, in orm of an junction against sale of the stock. At a legal , Prof. Fritz Ei- seenloffer, formerly of the Univer- sity of Karlsruhe, Germany, testi- fied that a satisfactory fuel could be made by extracting alcohol from the garbage, but the plan fell through nonetheless. CARS WITH OWN STILLS In 1921, Thomas A. Edison, jr., forecast the development of a de- vice by which each automobile would carry its own still to produce a motor fuel made from a mixture of chemicals and, coincidently, crude oil. It would be operated, he said, by the heat and motion of the motor, Engineers of the Ford Motor Co. experimented successfully in 1927 with operating a Ford gasoline motor, slightly altered, on the fine- ly powdered floor sweepings from a grain elevator. The engine's car- buretor was replaced by a cham- ber in which a fan and a network of pipe kept the grain dust in su- spension. In the lab, the engineers fed the grain dust in by hand, but they felt that if a mechanical feed- er could be developed, practical operation of the engine would be attainable Motorists waited in vain for further word on this remark- able new fuel.
