*.PainHorse Sense,.. by 800 ELLIS _____ A couple of weeks ago Amien- ,cariý wheat growers had to make their ChoiCe whether they wanted goverrnment controlled acreage plus a support price of ý$2.2O or afree rmarket WithaP.guâranteed minimrumr price set at $1.20. OnIy about' haif of those elig- ible to vote WenVt ac the trouble of going to the ballot box, but thfeir decision was uneq-uivqCaL. Instead of the two-thirds neeâed. ,,ver 87 per cent voted for cou- troIs anid higher prices. Balaneed Agriculture Without going into the menits of planned production vs. free. m«arkets, let us Consider onle as- p)ect-m-nuch disregarded-of the further reduction of acreage of cash crops, viz., the restoration. oif balance betWeen stock farm- ing and crop farminig. The war time necessity of pro- d uec ing extraordinarily 'large quanities of foodstuffs has in- dluced m-any f armners ta plow up their grasslands and plant them t.0 cash crops like Wheat, corni, peanuits, etc. The result was ex- ploitation of the land, depletion ofd the soil ta the extent that in rnany districts the top soi] xvas beginnixigta 1,Iow away. With *w.heat, tobacco and pea- nuts under acreage contrai, with 0the probability of such restric- tions for coril and cotton in the .ear future, it is ta be expected aRnd ta be hoped for that large numnbers of acres Wvill be re-seed- ec Ito grass and clovers, th'us pre- serving the greatcst and miost imn-i tportant natural resource of the 1 c-Ountry, the top six inches cf thle soi.

CLASSIFIED ADVE 1 1 ý 1-1 - ,r , - . Hungry Plants That Eat Insects Centuries ago travellers rce- turned ta Europe Wthbai-ais- ing tales of glant plants and flowers wbich ste buman be- ings. Tbough these tales were ex- aggerated, modemn researcbhhas revealed that there reawhy are plants whicbh ave a digestive systemn, thaugh their diet is con- fined, fortunately, ta insects, Some of these plants tbrtve in nortbern latitudes, mostly in wel-watered, boggy laud wbich is lacking 'in nitrogen. M'trogen is essential ta plant growth, so the plants get it by trapping smiall insects and digesting their bodies. Nitrogen gas given off in the process is absorbed by the plants. The snares they. use to trap their victimrs are bath initricate and ingenius. The sundew plant, ,which is f airl1y genera] tbraugh-. out Bitain, bas a smali rosette of round leaves. Each leaf bas a covering of hairs. at the end of wiiich are ,drops of agu-lk substance. When an insect alights on a leaf it sticks fast, The leaf' cunîrs sloxvly aven until the lnsect is covered. Digestive juices are then released and the vici im is cafen up. The*fly-trap of a-plant knawn as the Venus, whîch graws in North Amenica, bas a fiat leaf, with a binge up the mai vein and vertical spiltes round its edges. There aýre tbree brîsties on each side of the hinge. If an inisect touches two of these bnisties at a time the leaf snaps shut. The spikes form the bairs of a cage., The' Darlîngtonia plant grows in the swam-ips of Caýlifoiri, and~ of ail insect-eating, plants it is tlse most cunn-ing. Frumn it grows a loing tuibe which bends over at the top, rather like the leffer 'F' ihu the cross- stroke. At the top 0f the bend are a rnniber of wind1ows forniedJ by transparent tissue-.
