Transplanted in fields a- round May 24, constant care in cultivation and spraying involved much expense for hired help. Then in the harvesting and curing operations addtional help was needed to rush the harvest before the frost deadline. Marketing Mr. Newell described the mar- keting of the cured tobacco bath in Canada and the U.S.A. Ini Ontario a groxer's cooperative organization met with represent- atives of the factories and deter- mined a minimum price with quality the basis for net returns to the individual growers. Offic- iai graders visited storage barns to set the grades and the crop was marketed in the early months of cach year. In the U.S.A. the gov- ernmrent generally controlled the grades and at huge auctions the tobacco was put up for competit- ive bidding. The minimum price this year for flue cured tobacco was set at 411j2 cents per lb. a price higher than for some years and a profit- able one for the current crop. The speaker said that, taking all the expenses into consideration, in- cluding insurance, it cost around $450 per acre to grow a crop. If everything went satisfactorily and a good crop was taken off the returns would commonly run to $700 per acre. However there were the constant hazards always asso- ciated with agriculture, such as hail, frosts, pests and drouth. On te whcle the tobbaco farmer had been successful in this branch of agriculture.

Weekly Review THE SUPERMAN By LEWIS MILLIGAN Forty-eight years'ago there diecd in a German lunatie esyluma man named Frederick Nietzsche. He was a man of abnormal intelect and inflexible will-power. Thel son of an evangelical minister, he was brought up ünder Puritanical influences and educated with a vicw to his entrance int the Church. But the very preparation which was to fit him for the min- istry was the means of turning him against Christianity. He had an intense passion for knowledge and an impatient desire for truth. No half-truths would satisfy him. He xvas not content, like St. Paul, to "know in part": he wanted to know it aIl - - - here and now. He abandoned faith and wandcr- cd off into the wilderness of doubt and scepticism and became a voice crying. "Prepare ye the way for the Superman!" This Superman was to be an intellectual giant and a man of mighty will-power. Humanity was to cease from worshipping God and begin to worship itself. By a system of evolution. which wns to control the procreation and the education of the human spec- ies, society was to produce a clnss of Ceasars and Napoleons. Nietzsche thought he had conceîv- ed a new idea; but, like many oth- er of his wild ideas. this one was as old as history. The craze for nexv ideas is stili with us, but it is nothing more than the craze for new clothes. We like to keep up with the latest fashion (not only, in clothes) and the fashion of this wcrld is for ever changing. Eter- nal laws and standards remain. Long Rgo men talked of the Superman and tried to produce him. but they discovered that he could not bec produced. We can breed horses and cattle of any type we lilease, nnd we can pro- duce a cultured class of humans by refined education, but it tends to deteriorate. The genius is not a calculable quantity; he is more moncýrel parentage. Far backc in the days of Sparts they killed off the weakly-born babies and pre- served the strong. They set their voung men apart for special training in the arts o! athletîcs and \var. and by this means they produced an aristocracy of muscle. 1w1bich eventuall *v deteriorated morally and physîcally. Plato conceived a plan of gov- ernment whîch was to generate a higher type of man. But, with aIl bis wisrom, Plato failed ta see that the great intellects of Greece, including himself,' were not the product of any political or scientific system. Greece today is geographically in the same TICKETS YOU MAY WIN A 1948 PONTIAC COACH When yau buy tickets on the Arena Car, you nat only help ta finance the building, yau alsa take a chance on winning a valuable car.

They appeared - - - and disappeared. Ahl history proves 'that great men are rlot predictable; they ar- rive on the planet unannounced and often move amongst us un- recognized. Shakespeare is said ta have "trod the enrth ungcssed at."> Nearly two thousand years ago in. Palestine a Babe was born of humble parentage in a barn. About thirty years later we find this Child grown into a man, stooping over a plane in a carpenter's shop in the village of Nazareth. He lays aside his tools and goes out into the world ta proclaimn a naw Gos- pel of love and spiritual awaken- ing for mankind. After being buf- fetted from place ta place, despised and rejected of men, He was fin- ally led away into the judgement hall, and from thence to execution on the cross as a criminal. They buried His body in the earth, and thougzht they had disposed of Hlm; but the grave could flot bold Him. At this season we celebrate the birth of the only Superman who bas appeared upon this planet. ~4#~~M1~ #~1F~#~WZX &01WF0 Lucky Winners Lions Turkey The gospel of Nietzsche was the survival and denomination of the intellectually and physically fit- test. He died a mental and physical weakling in a madhouse. Hitler, who was one of the products of Nietzsche's gospel, came to a simi- lar end i a rat-hole under the ruins of Berlin. Man Who Took The Wrong Turnlng In his dismal Nuremberg ceIl, and as it proved, rightly guessing that he would be sentenced to hang, the Nazi Luftwaffe chief, Hermann Goering, ruefully gave out with a minor incident that ruined hlm. He had been proposed es a candidate for initiation into a fraternal society and was on bis 1way to the meeting when he met a girl friend and went off with her for the evening. He neyer did get around to be- coming a member of that lodge; had he done so, the connection would have caused his applica- tion to join the Nazis some time later to be rejected, and he would flot have found himself one of the leaders about to be sentenced for their war guilt.
