a trap for annihilation the day this news was reaching canada canadians were regaled with the story of the montreal tramway strike street car men had walked out tying up canadas largest city and keeping thousands of war work ers from their desperately important production jobs next day with more wonderful news pouring in from north africa came the story about shipyard work ers striking in vancouver some 5000 shipyard workers walked out the cause of the strike was reported to be the union objected to 70 workers working without union cards illegal is labor minister hum phrey mitchells

victory loan and from the war fronts these day far the outlook on the home front is any thing but bright as i write it is sunday may 16 and nearly all the fields around here are lying in water again after last nights storm even without any more rain it will be an other week before the land could pos sibly be worked up for seeding the situation grows more serious every day and this year town and city folk will realise the difference unfavor able weather can make to farm crops other years when there has been a reserve stock to fall back on towns folk did not feel the effect of the far mers reverses but it will be differ ent now there is likely to bo a short age of farm produce- all along the line maybe if the farmer takes to grouching abohit the weather be will have a little company nnd i wouldnt be surprised if the com pany might grouch a little harder than the farmer last friday i was down to the ninth lino trafalgar nnd from mil ton to the ninth i saw only one man working on the land nnd he was on very high ground there was far more water in the fields along the queen elizabeth way than uo have up here so what its like by now dear only knows however there is noth ing we can do about all thin wet u eat her other than to make the best use of everything we already have which reminds me do you know what i found the other day 7 hold on now its going to be a shock and it may turn you green with envy here it is a bushel of potatoes yes sir- thats what i found i camo across them this way daughter had asked if we could buy potatoes down here nnd if so would x send her some well i didnt know where to buy any and our own supply is decidedly low but x remembered the potatoes in the root cellar which uo were laving for bocd so i thought i would look them over and thats where i found the extras still in the hag just as they came from the patch proluibly young john put them there by mistake and they were overlooked well they nro not overlooked when i found them no they wore looked over instead and the bctt of them sent off to daughter right away by the uny i would hardly think potatoes can now lie referred to as the lowly spud but rather ns the aristocratic mur phies at long inst wo have got our baby chicks we expected them april 22 but each iveek we were disappointed nnd oven now we havent oh many its we ordered my hut theyre as cute and perky as enn w and

seems are dismayed about the luck of protein in chicken feed this ear but i dont think the ordin ary farmer who raises chickens as a sideline need be very worried mint is if he has plenty of milk for them milk will make up for the defic ient of protein in the commetclal feed i suppose our next excitement will be meat rationing no doubt it will take time to get used to it but two pounds per person gives us little cause for complaint a young can adian arlman just back from england said in an address the other day you never hear any grumbling about rations in england not like you hear in canada he added that boy has been in england malta crete and north africa facing untold dangers and privations it must be like a blow below the belt to come home and find people in canada complaining of the things they cannot get we know that some folk do complain but thank heaven not all here is a smile i suggested to partner that he take the storm win dow off the north window and he an swered why not

rawlinna on the eastwest railway began to be troubled by a rabbit invasion the dry season was coming and the rab bits were migrating to watering points si invasions were then reported to the east at cook since then the migratory movement has ealned impetus and has reached east to ooldea 500 miles from rawlinna disturbed by the noise of passing train rabbits along the line spring to activity like plagues of grasshoppers or locusts they provide fine targets for men travelling across in open trucks tvappera reap harvest trappers too look upon the rab bit invasion with tolerance and even approval

numbers at most camps foodstuffs and even hoots and other apparel have to be removed out of reach at the lime siding at naretha a man at one time counted 40 mice trying to climb the walls of his camp to reach food at rawlinna a bore was being put how farmers gain beat fuel shortage the farmer who owns a wellman aged woodlot of 20 acres or so has little to worry about in the present serious fuel shortage in canada states the dominion forest service if the lot is in good condition it will pro vide from onehalf to one card per acre every year and actually leave the stand in better growing condition than if ttg was cut from it a wellstocked woodlot on snltshle soil will bear from 30 to 40 cords per acre if most of the trees are aoond and spaced so thai all the crowns receive their fair share of tfmnllght they will gro3c a cord an acre per year but unless this cord per acre per year is cut regularly the cro will soon become crowded the growth rate will become much slower and finally so many of the trees will die that the loss from this source may be even greater than the annual growth it is a serious mistake to ex ploit the woodlot to cut all the trees that are targe enough to make fuel- wood at one time such treatment would mean a wait of many years be fore there would again be trees large enough to cut not only that but the browth on the few trees left would be much less than the land is capable of producing the proper procedure is to select and mark the trees that should be cut each year before actually start ing to cut first select the dead de fective and old poorly shaped trees second enough of the largest trees scattered here and there to make up the cord or so per acre should be se lected to let light in lpj trees be neath but hot so marjy should be taken in one place that large open ings will he made in the crown cover it is a good idea to divide a large woodlot into a number of sections of s or 10 acres each and cut the whole years supply from one section at time then leave that section undis turbed until all the other sections have been cut over in the same way that is instead of cutting over the whole 0ncre lot to get jo cords cut 20 cords
