Soil Fertility Of The Orchard Providing The Essential Elements Of Plant Growth There is now a great deal of ex- L "perimental evidence in support of the statement that humus and nitrogen are the elements of fertility in which orchard soils are mostly commonly deficient. At the Experimental Station Station for the Okanagan Valley, Sum- merland, B.C., several methods of orchard orchard culture have been devised with a view to providing these essential elements at the minimum of expense. Where growing leguminous cover rops throughout the year permits, difficulty has been experienced w maintaining an adequate supply of nitrogen end humus in young orchards. orchards. Alfalfa, hairy vetch and sweet clover have all been used with very satisfactory results. Alfalfa is best adapted adapted for use on deep soils which are retentive of moisture. Hairy vetch is the safest cover crop to use on shallow shallow soils underlaid with gravel, while Sweet clover Is useful for breaking up heavy clay. A modified system of cover cropping cropping Involving cultivation of the land during a portion of the Summer may be used to advantage. Hairy vetch shown in late July or early August can be counted on to make good cover cover before Winter sets in. If there is not sufficient moisture in the soil to germinate seed until late August or early September, it is safer to sow a fast growing cereal such aa Fall rye. In casé a non-legume of this kind Is used, it is often advisable to supplement supplement the cover crop with an application application of some fertilizer high in nitrogen. nitrogen. Where moisture conditions are such that it is impossible to grow sufficient sufficient humus in the form of cover crops, this deficiency may well be sup- plied by the application of stable manure. manure. Indeed there Is good reason to believe that even where cover crops '■m grown, a light application of barn- rd manure is of great benefit frorii . J.a bacterial action which it stimulates stimulates in the soil.

The Quebec Manitou property, better known as the Golden Manitou, encountered encountered high-grade gold-zinc ore In diamond drilling. It has .been known that the contact that appears to be responsible for the large orebotli.es on the Lamaque continued easterly through the Golden Manitou and Fleming properties. The finding of the wide vein containing the above- mentioned high-grade sulphide ore points the way to a major mining development. Ontario's Martin Bird property, 1 located a few miles to the west of the Quebec boundary, supplied other important news. The finding of high- grade ore on the first level west added importantly to an already impressive large tonnage mine development. The proving of a new oil field by the Plains Petroleum Company by the bringing in of a producing well on the Company's 6,000 acre tract located thirty miles east of Lethbridge and eighty miles south-east of Turner Valley is a development, of probable far reaching importance.. Fashionable Age When young people ask permission to marry, parents are sometimes known to say, "Not yet; you're too young." There are probably always at least a few standing differences of opinion on the point. It may help to decide the problem to know what other people are doing, what; is the customary age for marrying. In the last few years more Canadian Canadian girls have been married at 21, more boys at 2d, than at any other age, but the average Is higher because because more marry older than youngei. The age of the" average bride is 28, the bridegroom 26, This is a little older than in pre-depression pre-depression days, but not much; and the old differences of about three years in the age of man and wife still persist. persist.

A. large crowd gathered and the homespun lawyer was making a speech from the rear platform when an inebriate in the crowd blurted out "I voted for a damn sight better man than you." A man who had been used to many jibes, Lincoln did not let his poise become upset, and instead responded with "I want to meet that man; bring him to me." Although intoxicated the man had sense enough to be -frightened while the crowd became tense wi'T anticipation anticipation of the meeting. In a lew minutes minutes the man was face Iq face with the President- elect. Lincoln, still poised, looked at him a moment and then said, "My friend, you didn't vote for me but I have been elected, i am your President, I am going going down to Washington to tackle a very hard job and I need your help. Will you help me?" This overwhelmed the inebriate, and he replied. "Sure i will, Mr. Lincoln, Lincoln, sure I will." All this overwhelmed the crowd, too, and every one cheered.
