Touching the Arctic Circle in the far north Atlantic, it is known as the land of frost and fire because of its vast snowfields and glaciers mixed with a hundred volcanoes, countless craters, lava streams and hot springs or geysers. Only twofifths of the island is habitable. Yielding a livelihood only to toilers, Iceland is a nation of hardy fishermen and farmers. Refrigerator tfhtps have in recent years expanded the world market for Iceland's herring and cod. Farmers herd sheep, raise hay and potatoes on volcanic soil, and have greenhouses heated by water from hot Springs. One-third of Iceland's people live In modern Reykjavik on the southwestern coa.it, where America's Gulf Stream helps to keep midwinter almost as mild as it is in New York.

It is plentiful in Michigan and can be had generally for the digging or for a few cents per bushel. Place in boxes in the lay-p ing house or in small piles in the yard.

Seed Bolting Adverse . weather conditions an considered the principal cause for premature seed bolting of plants for the reason that, in some seasons, there will be practically* none of this trouble and in others it is . very widespread. Excessive and continued rains and long periods of cold, foggy weather, followed by sudden short periods of hot weather in the early spring, are generally blamed for causing plants to go to seed. There must be other factors besides adverse weather whicti cause seed bolting because some fields show practically no trouble. It seems quite certain that the variety of seed may be a contributing factor. For example, if growers plant a summer variety of cabbage or celery in the winter time, they may have much mora. Arauhlp iutco seeding than if they use a standard winter variety Hi-- 1 didn't know you suffered with rheumatism. Si--Sure. What else can you dc with it?
