Aid To Press Writers Urged By Empire Union -- Britain Fornd "Cold" to Dominions' Reporters. LONDON, Eng. -- The E~pire Press Union concluded its second an- nual conference last week after adopt- ing a resolution urging its council do everything possible toward improving facilities for Empire correspondents within the United Kingdom.--whose task is to portray for domin)ons a complete and authofitative, ag Fall as colorful picture fof life in the United Kingdom. It was said insufficient recognition was given outsidd mnewspapermen, whose work frequently wads labored with. unnetessary prohibitions and lack of co-operation. The conference was marked by speeches from persons prominent in evry phase of the newspaper world. Modern technique and the latest equipment were lengthily discussed, including the wirephoto, wireless and television. . i But members generally agreed with the sentiment expressed by Sir Stan- ley Reed, of the Times of India, that without an increasing sense of re- sponsibility, -faith and forthrightness all fantastic inventions of the new era were but dust and ashes. Members- deplored the trend toward intrusive reporting. It was suggested that "Y thie press failed to-govern-its own enterprise with decency and dig: nity it invited governmental legisla- tion which would be a move against freedom of the press. J. A. Spender, editor of the West- minster Gazette, supplied the keynote to the sentiment of the conference in the final address. : "The "responsibility of the press," he said, "was never greater than today in countries where it remains free. To defend this part of a much-threat- ened fleld of liberty in our special perogative. If we hold our ground in the British Commonwealth we shall help others recover what they have lost. If we fail we shall bring de- struction on many besides ourselves." Members _ .ve a complimentary din- ner at a west end hote] last night for the president of the union, Major J. J.

SMITH * La a a (ARTICLE 'Nu, 15+ There are two groups of garden insect enemies--those that eas holes in the foliage and those that suck out the juices. For the first-named, poison is usually applied. while the suckers are attacked with a burn-. ing spray which penetrates. Often when both are present, a .combin- ation of poison and something that burns, such as lime sulphur and ar- senate, give the best results. The damage from the biting insects 1s usually quite apparent but the pres- ence of the other kind is only shown at first by a wilting or withering of the foliage. For sucking pests, chief of which are the aphids or plant lice, spray with whale oil soap, a quarter pound of soap to a gallon and a half of water; nicotine sul- phate, or "Black Leaf 40" or any 'other repellent secured from a relia- ble seed store.

Slow Growth Disastrous to Certain be Vegetables . Tender vegetables are those which have been grown quickly. Especial ly with such things as radish, car- rots and beets is slow growth dis- astrous as the roots become woody and filled with objectionable fibre.

New Industry Is Developed | Visit Paid by Government Of- ficial to Marl Beds ROCKTON.--John M. Casey, in- spector of the federal department of mines at Ottawa, paid a visit to the new. plant and mine of the Beverly Holdings corporation in Beverly swamp, near the village of Westover, and expressed himself as surprised at the development of the new fer- tilizer industry which was estab- lished under direction of A. Anrap, general manager, who was a former | officer of the mines department. . ~Much Work Done Over one mile of poles has. been erected through the swamp to carry the Hydro to the plant and nearly a mile of narrow gauge railway has "been laid to carry the const tuents to the mixing mill. Not all of Beverly swamp, com- prising several thousand acres, con- tains the organic matter that wll + go to make up the formula of the fertilizer. It is authoritatively stated that in no other part of the town- ship has the same formation as that 'comprising an area of 144 acres been found. While all parts of the swamp may look alike on the surface, it is in the marl lying below the thick covering of leaf mould and vegetable matter that the difference occurs. Nearly four feet of black mould cov- ers the marl below, which is about three feet thick and is sald to con- tain chemical constituents pecul'ar to itself, It is said that in no other part of Ontario or Quebec has such a deposit ever been discovered, Gov- ernment officials and others who have been on the ground and had tests made belicye that there is a wealth of plant food in the area that only requires development to make it available for agriculture, Lists "Habits" | Of Tomatoes Biologist Finds Hybrids Fix Their Weight Mathematically TORONTO.--The Royal Society of Canada recently heard how a hybrid tomato multiplies fogether the weights of its parents, takes the square root and makes that its own weight. Tests Explained Leonard Butler, of the University of Toronto's biological department explained that when a tomato with fruit the size of a currant is (rossed with any of the large commercial i varieties the new plant _-bears fruit the size of a cherry. i If the fruits are weighed it is found the weight of the new hybrid is close to the square root of the fig- ure obtained by mult'plying togeth- er the weights of the currant-sized parent and the big one, The riddle of how the plant worked out the mathematical calculation is now solved, Mr. Butler said, : Each tomato fruit is composed of thousands of cells and new cells are formed by division of existing cells. They multiply from one to two, four to eight, and so on. Matter of Cells If a tomato fru't the size of a cur- rant has 200,000 cells and an ordin- ary variety has 800,000 then it has been found by measurement and ecal- culation that the hybrid would have 400,000, the square root of the pro- duct of cells of the parent fruits (200,000 x 800,000). - The explanation is this: By follow- ing the method of growth in which the cells divide and double their number it is clear that if the cells of the small frut, which had 200,000 to start with, could. divide once the fruit would have 400,000 cells. If they divided again it has 800,000, the number in the larger fruit which has one parent of the new hybrid. The two plants differ by.two cell divisions and. the hybrid fruit comes midway between. It has 400,000 cells, one division more than the small fruit and one less than the big one. Hereditary Jaundice John W, MacArthur, of the Uni- versity of Toronto, presented a paper . by C. K.

New Potato Proves A Best - Seller An entirely new kind of potato has found its way onto the markets of Montreal this winter, and it involves three countries, Brit- ain, Jamaica, and Canada. A rich creamy tuber of combined Canadian and Jamaican stock; it- was snapped up so quickly--following a prelimin- ary test--on Covent Garden Market that more shipments rapidly follow- ed and this place in the British mar- ket was scon assured, according to Canada's Weekly. : Some time ago, an organization of Nova Scot'a potato growers near Kentville, in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, bemoaned the fact that they could not produce a good potato for the market in winter, when such a commodity as a fresh potato was scarce and would fetch a good price. They therefore decided to make some experiments and selected Jama'ca. The Canadian sced was sent to Jamaica and planted there in late November and carly December. The potatoes were put into the rich Jamaica soil well above sea level, where conditions more akin to tem- perate rather than tropical countries prevail, The potatoes were put in at different times, so as to give a steady production in mid-winter. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food docan't digest, It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach, You fet constipated, Harmful poisons £ into the body, and you feel sour, sunk and the world looks punk. A mere botvel movement doesn't always get at the cause. You need something that works on the liver as well. It takes those ood, old Carter'n Little Liver Pills to get these two June of bile flowing freely and make you eel "up and up". Harmlees and penile, 4 o make the bile flow freely, They do the wor of calomel but have no ealomel or mercury in them, Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by name | Stubbornly refuse anything else, 256, Thus the potatoes which were sown in November were finding their way on to the British markets in late February, and the tubers that first struck the soil in December were 'ready for the market in March, The last of the crop was planted around January. The , potatoes hid to be timed so as not to come too quickly upon the end of the fall crop, and they must not be too late as to drag into the Channel Island or other sea- son which comes early in the year. The reason these potatdes swept the market in Canada--and more so in England than in Canada--is that they have developed a flavor all ther own. A potato flavor like bread flavor, is something that is taken for granted, But the Jamaica product scems to have a richness and a meali- ness like an entirely different vege- table, hence the demand for it.

Preverting A Great Decl of : Waste Because poultry will eat almost anythine, many pou'iry keepers im- agine the birds edn dvest pretry nearly everythine, Dut this is far from true, and if the fool contains too much fibre there may be a great deal of waste. Digestion in all birds is considor- ably assisted when they ean find rlenty of sharp grits to act as mill stones in the gizzard. On heavy sols grit is usaally ah sent and must be supplied. Come- times-it is mixed with the soft food but the better plan is to keen a sun- ply in a box from which the bir's can help themselves. This applies ta small runs, when the grit in the soil is soon exhausted Without suffi- cent grit over 50 ner cent. more grain feed is needed by the hirds to keep up their weight, partie larly when a properly mixea mash is not given daily. But even with plenty of grit. food _is- badly digested when it conta'ns much husk or other woody matter. But even highly digest'ble foods can fail to be digested if fed in a:mash that is not sufficiently crumbly. The addition of bran to a ration not only makes it more palatable but gives "that consistency which enables the digestive ju'ces to do their work properly. Poultrv Yard Parasite Pests Keep a Constant Look Qut For Them As warmer weather approaches keep a sharp lookout for poultry parasites." Birds are subject to at- tacks from mites, which are very dfficult to eradicate once they get established in a poultry house. Birds cease to thrive in mite-infested houses. These insects are persistent blood-suckers during night time. For a time their presence may be .to keep a constant look-out. There are very few poultry farms that are perfectly free from pests They must, however, be kept in check if the hens are to cont nue producing eggs. When present to any great extent they may prove fatal to chickens. During daylight they leave the fowls and scek shelter in crevices in the walls. perches, nest boxes, or any dark corner or crack, returning to the birds after dark when they have gone to roost. The roosts require special atten- tion, - These should never be per- manent, and on no account should branches of trees with bavk covering be introduced into a hen house. The roosts should be planed smooth and fitted. into sockets. They should be serubbed periodically and the sock- vets saturated with a strong cresol solution, Don't neglect the nest box- es and burn and change nesting box litter frequently.
