There can be little doubt about the assertion that Cana- dians are surprisingly ignorant con- cerning their own territory. There is in Northern Ontario and Quebec a tremendous mineral area, with prosperous operating mines all over the landscape, yet it is safe to say that not five per cent. of the popula- tion knows' what or where they are or has ever visited that part of the country to acquire jntimate know- ledge of its progress and prospects. - In Western Canada we possess the world's greatest wheat-producing empire but comparatively few people have visited it to gain first-hand knowledge dbout agriculture. Beyond the ; Rockies is another type of country that is largely un: known to the eastern resident and few westerners are familiar with the ports of Montreal, Quebec and.

G. Anglin, Victoria College; vice- president, Clarke Hood, University College; treasurer, James ~~ Kemp, Trinity College. Similar organizations have been formed at several United States uni- Jversities. The Toronto group has de- cidad to ask the alumni association of the university to erect a cenotaph on the front campus in honor of the veterans of the next war, - "We do not demand an expensive monument," says President Anglin. "One of our members, James Kemp, has" ttesigned just: the type of ceno- taph that will suit our purpose, featuring the simple, homely lines of a park bench, Thus it will not only be a thing of beauty, but will be prac- tical as well, since it will provide a place foi the unemployed veterans of tomorrow to sit down." Gerald Anglin, otganizer - of 'the "future veterans," stated that 'plans| were under way. for a gala pre-union in Toronto next June, of all Can- adian-men_young enough! to be con: scripted in the next war. * Asked if his duties as chief organ- izer did no* interfere with his pre- parations for the coming examin- ations, Mr. Anglin replied:" 3 "We feel we shouldn't be required .to "study for exams, Even the Board of Examiners could not be so 'cold- blooded as to pluck students who are going to die for their country in the near future, But just to make dou- bly sure," he continued, "we will pe- -tition President Cody to grant us our degrees at once, without writing any exams, so that we will be ready to enlist as soon as the call comes."

This in. cludes the laboratory which Connecticut boasts.

The license -may be obtained 'any time- up to three months before the ceremony. The health certificate may not be more than 10 days old. . Saskatchewan's civil marriage pro- visions, also contained in 1931 amend- ments to the Marriage Act, have not been implemented, partly due to op- position from Roman Catholics in the Province. The minister under whose "| department the Marriage 'Regulations are enforced, the Hon. J:- M.- Ulrich, is himself a Homan Catholic, and declared recently there was no need for civil marrlage in Saskhtchewan. Since then, however, a civil marriage commissioner has been. appointed at Goldfields, the new mining town on Lake Athabaska in the far. north of the Prairie Provinge. =} In Norway the farms have separate buildings fer various purposes.

'R. W., Oxford County: "What analysis of fertilizer should I use on strawberries on: clay loam soil, heavily manured before planting. Plants have. set fairly good and have good top?" } Answer: We assume. that the strawberry patch is now standing, liaving been' successfully planted last summer.. In regard to the matter of applying fertilizer, it would -have been better if you had applied ferti- lizer to the ground: when preparing i1it- for planting. Many successful strawberry growers get good results: by supplementing their heavy manure with two or three bags per acre' of, such a fertilizer as 4-8-10, working this into the soil along the rows where the strawberries are to be plantéd. Since this was not done in , your case, there is good reason to | believe that your patch would bene- fit from scattering this fertilizer on the row where strawberries are planted as soon as the strawberries are worked, early in the spring, work- ing this into the ground. Failing this, the application of nitrogen carriers such as nitrate, of soda - or sulphate of ammonia, at the rate of 100-160 lbs, per acre, in the same overstayed het welcome at the Footy', , Cress Corn Salve got rid of her for good Invest 80c for perfect foot health, Try Cress BUNION Salve, it's good soo, Made in Canada. Sold by all Drug and Dept, Stores. Distributed by Harold F. Ritchie & C i way, should give good results. In; applying these carriers of nitrogen, ! be especially careful not to scatter it' on the crop whilg there is dew on the plants or immediately after rain. There is a tendency for. it to stick | to the leaves and burn them. If appli-| ed to the crop when it is dry, this is! prevented, Question I-(b). "Fertilizer companies guarantee a certain brand of fertilizer as, 1 per cent. water soluble nitrogen, 2° per cent. total nitrogen. Is there any available nitrogen in the 1 per cent. not ivatér soluble? If so, when will it be available for the plants to use?" Answer: Water soluble nitrogen is certainly available nitrogen in plant growth. If the fertilizer contains 2 per cent. total nifrogen and 1 per cent. water soluble nitrogen, the re- maining 1 per cent. of nitrogen is probably of organic source that must await bacterial action in order that it be readily available or it 'may be nitrogen in the form not taken up in large quantities by the growing crop, action to change it to nitrate form in which the nitrogen is taken up. One cannot answer definitely as to when this latter form of nitrogen will be available for plant use, but under normal conditions, of warm spring weather and with the scil in good condition, it certainly should be available 'during: early life of the plant. ' Here Is Heresy ! : LONDON, Unt--Both Santa Claus and the old-fashioned bogey man came in for some harsh criticism when Rev. W. G. Colgrove of London, ad- dressed the delogates to the 14th an- nual meeting of the Middlesex school trustees and ratepayers' association, He said many school teachers have young charges. Characterizing it as a relic of the dark ages, Mr. Colgrove said it was time to banish it from modern education. On the other hand, Santa Claus is just the subject of much youthful 'humor about Christmas time, which staid parents, renewing the ancient myth, never suspect. "Children accept our gifts at "Christmas time, meanwhile snicker- ing up their sleeves at our story of Santa' Claus," Mr, Colgrove declared.
