These organisms are known as wound parasites and occur in every potato growing section of Canada. Since they become important after harvest it Is natural to assume that the rough handling of potatoes during this period may be followed by serious consequences. By mechanical injuries are meant cuts, bruises, shrinking, and" cracks. Cuts are usually the most conspicuous and, while bruises and cracks are known to be more serious, it should be clearly understood that all injuries which do not heal quickly may lead to considerable loss and inconvenience. While the digger is the chief offender inj causing mechanical injuries, it is acknowledged also that considerable damage is inflicted when the tubers are picked and hauled to th cellar: It has been determined' experimentally that tubers are injured but very slightly when poured from a basket into a sack from a height of 12 inches; when poured from a height of '30 inches, however, injury by cracking and bruising is very severe. Potatoes, therefore, should be rolled or poured carefully from baskets into the bags. Further precautions against such injuries are as follows: Leave the potatoes exposed to the sun and the air for two or three hours; do not drop the filled sacks on the floor of the barn or cellar; pad the picking baskets with at least one layer of burlap. The total number of pedigree certificates registered during the month of August, 1935, by the Canadian National Livestock records, approved by the Dominion i lure, was 5,170.

Autumn Maple Leaf Contest Exclusively and uniquely Canadian, but world wide in its pleasure giving possibilities, the third annual competition for the most beautiful autumn tinted maple leaf is announced by tht Canadian Government through th< Canadian Travel Bureau at Ottawa, in co-operation with the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific Railway. Doubled prize money, and a distinct liberalization of the rules permitting visitors to Canada to enter maple leaves are the major innovations marking the 1935 competi-tiens, and which its supporters believe will go far towards arousing an even wider degree of interest not only among nature lovers but among the general public as well. The competition for the most beautiful autumn tinted maple leal was originated in 1933 and in that year the first prize was won by Mrs McConnell of York County, 1 Brunswick, with a leaf which for its sheer beauty earned the sincere admiration of people from Coast to Coast. First prize last year went to Mrs. A. A. Adams, of Oak Bay Mills, Quebec,. with a leaf showing such flare of brilliant colorings as only Canadina autumn can produce. The prize winning leaves chosen by artists from the Academy, together with suitably mounted selections from the thousands of entries, were exhibited in cities as far apart as Halifax. Saint John in the East, to Vancouver and Victoria in the West. Similar procedure will be followed this sea- The prize list for the 1935 competition provides for an award of $100 to the person sending in the most beautiful leaf, and in addition provides a second prize of $40 and a third prize of $20. The competition this year will continue the largest leaf phase and the person sending in the leaf with the "argest area .will be awarded a prize If you have something to sell at a price others are willing to pay, a classified advt. in the Express will sell it. °,LtE[%fo °'f ?3°: and the second largest, of $10.
