One of the most in'- trigulng features of the subi ect is that 5o littie is known about it, although prpgress has been made Iii recent years. Nutrition, in ail Its aspects, Is Of cours* a central field of inquiry in agaâultural research. Intensive WO xteen done on the feed- k 'Vestock, and it is obvious that well-nourished iivestock pro- 'vide better food for people. At the Sane time, nutrition receives iflcreasing attention from ail sci- entists, physicians and social work- Uns concerned with the heaith of huZnan beings, both physical and Mental, It is becoming apparent that there is a definite chain of rela- tionship between the health of the soi itseii, of plant Lfe, of live- stock and the ultimate human con- sumner. We are only on the thres- hold of this complex field which offers a great challenge to scien- tists of the future. It will be a difficuit f ield o! inquiry for it is complicated by many other fac- tors such as those of climate and genetics. Atels eariy stage, certain ob- vov tneralities are observed. One s1that run down, worn out mils produce weak crops and sup- port inferior livestock. People Who subsist on home grown foods in such areas show the same out- ward signs of weakness as the erops and livestock. Another is that certain deficiencies in the soil re-appear. For example, phos- phorus de! icient soul produces phosphorous deficient crops and -they in turn produce phosphorous deficient animais. Minerai deficiencies have be- Lét us pay your doctor' s bis!a corne weil known ta, farmers who have to choose between replen- ishing the sou wîth the needed minerais or feeding minerai sup- plements direct to the iivestock. In the long run it rnight be better to restore what is lacking in the soil, but this is a question that can oniy be answered by exhaustive research. Some authorîties think there are times when the rations o! live- stock and poultry must have min- erai supplement regardiess of soul fertility. At the height of lacta- tion, the *high producing dairy cow is often in negative calcium and phosphorus balance. Although the minerai content of her ration may be adequate at other times, she is at the peak o! her lactation, withdrawinjz minerais from her body to meet the demands o! milk production. This depletion may be good later, provided the normai ration is adequate. Similarly, the hen may be in calcium deficiency at the height Mo her egg production. It may be necesary to suppiement her ra- tion at certain times like that of the high producing cow,1 even though sili fertility is excellent and normal rations are of the best quality. Dietary deficiencies of many kinds; undoubtedly have an effect on the eyesight, other vital org- ans, reproductive powers and dis- ease resistance. The connecting links between certain deficiencies and disease are still obscure, but there is certainly a connection in many cases. It is often said that local soil deficiencies are flot significant because food is often brought in from so many different areas these days. It is a reassuring theory and true in some instances, Your family's heaith cornes first - enjoy the protectibn e doctor's cere provides - nd let Mutuel Benefit help pey the bis!

One of these areas exists ini Ontario and another in Michigan. If the widespread' distribution of food fails to correct a local Éoul de- ficiençy in iodine, it is reasonable to suspect the same thing can hap- pen with other deficiences and diseases of which littie is yet known. The relationship between soil and human heaith is under in- vestigation in the United States. In Canada very litie has been done on this important subject. We cannot afford to overiook our soul type and conditions. There is need for fundamentai long term research In ail phases of nutrition. It is flot enough to study soil, plant, animal and human nutrition as separate components. The complex relation between, ail fac- tors must be unraveiled, under- stood and imperfection corrected. Then perhaps we may have a healthier Canada. NESTLETON The Silver Tea sponsored by the W. A. and W.M.S. May 23rd was quite a success. An enjoy- able afternoon was spent.

The mass a! the Canadian people are not neglected, and Commun- îsm does ýiot arise aut o! con- ditions in Canada or aur eduça- tional system. If Communimm in a real menace in Canada it is due, as Mr. Conroy aid gt the outset, ta the "worid-wide attack" on our way o! life. It is a revolutionary mavement, and its pramaters li aur midst are nothing leus than the fi! th columnista o! a dempotie gavernment whole sole aim 18 ta rule the world". Canada it is an ill-fitting garment that hampers aur development and couid strangle us".

Woe is me. writes a writer, with this glaomy picture: Apple bus- iness (Annapolhis variety) is not good. The Auditor-General re- ports that Nova Scotia apples in 1949 cast the Canadian taxpayer $7,326,000 and weZe sold for $3,- 207,000, a loss of $4,119,000. Pub- lic accounts, 1949, shows that in- tercst due the Dominion Gavcrn- ment for loans advanced ta the C.N.R. and predecessor companics was $574,781.637 uip ta December 31, 1936. The Auditor-General reports that the Department of Transport in 1949 received ad- vances for stores ta the amount o! $2,029,859, which Ys $429.859 more than was authorized by Par- liament. Overpayments of family aliowances, the Auditor-General reports, were $429,394 at the end o! the fiscal year 19419. Getting the money back will prove ta be difficuit. Canadian Potatoes Uruguay Market Uruguay continues ta ho a steady market for Canadian certi- fied seed potatoes, and this year will be in the market for about 120,000 crates of the Katahdin and 40,000 crates a! the Pontiac var- ieties. This is approxim-ately the same amount as the record pur- chases made last year which were due ta an attempt ta increase do- mestie 'production of potatoes thereby rcducing imports o! table potatoes. Purchases will ho made by the Official Seed Distribuion Service on a public tender basis. Goodyear Annouinces Tire Price Increase According to an announcement by C. B. Cooper, General Sales Manager of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of Canada, Lim- ited, the price of Goodyear tires and tubes is being raised by an average of 5 % to 7%1, effective May 26, with the exception of second passenger line and Double Eagle tircs whose price remains unaltered. In nmaking this statement, MVr. Cooper strcssed that the increase in price has been caused prim- arily by the rapid rise in cost of essentials materials, particularly crude rubber, which has develop- cd since the present Goodyear tire prices were etablishcd on De- cember 3. 1949. "On that date crude rubber spot prices werc 17 cents per pound", said Mr. Cooper; "today the price is 2P/4 cents per poutid, or an increase of 721',,. The same is true of cotton prices which have increased 10%7 since December, 1949. These two materials are the basic material used in tire pro- duction'. In brie!, the increase in prices \vill mean a 51,, risc in passen- ger tires with the exception of second line Marathon tires. Truck and bus tires will increase ap- proximately 5 % to 7 1, Ç"/, and f arma tire increases will be 5 %/. There will be no change in the price of Goodyear tubes except in the truck, bus, motorcycle and industrial pneumatic lines which are increased 5%. "Compared to most other com- maditiès, tire prices have shown very litie increase in the past f ew years, whereas there has been a steady improvement in the quai- ity and services of ail Goodyear tires, including the passenger and truck, bus lines", said Mr. Coop- er.
