The old argument as to whether chess is wheat in a depraved form or a. species of plant that thrives when the wheat is poor. still persisfs but is gradually giving way to the more modern topics of better var ieties, fertilizers and disease- control 'practices. Even the casual observer can- not fail to notice how thick, uni- form and strong the crops are in some fields as compared with those of many others in the same district, Fertilizer . enthusiasts claim that -proper feeding is the 'key to success; seed producers uphold the merits of - high grade seed; but all admit the benefits derived from the new mercuric dust seed treatment. A thorough check-up shows that each of these factors, coupled with proper, seed bed preparation, plays an exceed- ingly important part. The results of many carefully supervised fertilizer experiments, conducted by agricultural col- leges-and other experimental sta- - tions. in co-operation with inter- estd farmers, leave no doubt of the advantages derived from ade- quate, well-balanced fertility. Phosphat (phosphoric acid) is particularly important. Root de- velopment, strength'of straw, fill- ing of grain and uniform matur- ity demand it. Good Rotation A fertilizer of the type of 2. 12-6 provides a suitable balance 'of supplementary plant food for this crop: on loams and soils of "| fertility. . | moree than average Higher phosphate fertilizers, such as 2-16-6 or 0-16-6, are-prefer- able on meny of the heavier soil types and areas notably deficient in phosphate. Fall wheat provides a desirable division of work, 'It is a crop that 'can be sold for ready cash or used 'as part of the grain ratidn for -most classes of livestock. It '|- is a good crop to retain in. the rotation, and on many a Westérn Ontario farm, where extteme drought. prevented the satisfac- tory development of spring grain this year, fall wheat is likely to be -the only profitable cereal. .Acreages sown to wheat in the Prairie Provinces: this year total 25,818,000 as against 24,946,000 acres in 1938. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1,--Shouldn't one be very care. ful what he writes in a letter? 2.--Should a college girl intro- duce herself as Miss Hall, or as Edith Hall? 8,--When giving a bridge party which follows-a luncheon, is the hostess expected to 'serve sand- wiches, or cakes, during the game? 4,--What should one « say in congratulating a bridal couple? 6.--What is. a good toast to of- fer to a guest of honor? 6.--When cutting meat on the plate, should the end of the knife handle be visible? Answers: - 1.--Yes; he should be very careful. One should not write anything -that the recipient can resent, or that would cause him embarrassment if the letter were shown to someone else. Remem- ber that a letter is often the basis for a law suit. Zhe should call herself Edith Hall. 3. --No, 4.--This depends Ao = upon how well one knows the bride or bridegroom. ® Remember that it is a breach of etiquette to congratu. late the bride on getting a hus- band.
