Some scientific observations on corn's : remarkable. capacity to grow quickly were. reported by Dr. T. A. Kiessclbach, -well- known ag- ronomist, , Corn, for example, on an aver- age July day grows about two and a half inches every 24 hours, but if conditions are exceptionally good it will grow as much as four inches a day, » » » University research has shown that corn grows exactly as much during \he day as at night, con- trary to a gencral notion that It does most ~ of its growing at night, ; : Corn, on the average, rises from a height of 30 inches to about 100 inches during .the four weck July 5 to August 5 "corn weather season/' a rate of growth which is onc of the | greatest per day of any crop grown "in the cornbelt, . ' » * * During ~its first week above the ground' the corn plant has about 15 square inches of leaves. At the end of eight 'weeks of growth it has 1,4 square inches of leaves; or--more- than--enough to cover .an ardinary "card table. The corn plant draws its mois- ture from a vast fibrous root sys- tem which when the plant reaches maturity is over seven miles long if all of them were placed end to end; and the roots rin six fect below the surface, ; * * * About: half of the corn plant's life is expended before it reaclies the silking stage; and - the éther half is consumed in developing and maturing the ears. "Ideal corn weather" should include plenty of moisture in the soil surrounding the corn - planf; and hot dry weather with tempe- ratures averaging between 90 and 100 degrees during the day. These conclusions, Dr, Kiessel- bach points out, are based on €orn 'grown at the university's agronomy' farm and are applicable the, eofnbelt states. ot: i aL Home from Germany.-- Mr. Ross Hancock, from Grave ew 'while resting with other tired sightseers at R.C AF.

The non-residents of Toronto seemed much more at home in the, Fair Grounds than the city folk. This isnt really surprising when one remembers that over 250 fairs 'and exhibitions are held every year _in_ the small towns of Qutari "As a result, the small town and rural sightscers found their way around the Exhibition Grounds with the air of old veterans, whereas the city .man_ in many cases had the bewilder- ed mien of a tourist.

Each exhibitor made a real effort to 'lure the public to his particular location, and, once there, to sell the prospect. In this line, some free samples were offered as a come-on, but not nearly in the profusion of yester- year. The "adults" complained about | __. the scarcity of free samples gener- ally, but the youngsters had a "field day" acqiring everything from paper cups to samples of soap flakes, which scemed to satisfy the young looters. FAIRTIME HIGHLIGHTS Actually the soap flake samples were scarcely sufficient to properly laun- der a woman's small handkerchief. tT » * * "The kiddies, as well as their elders, seemed to be price-conscious, and patronized such features as the Nickel Arcade where battery after battery of electric cranes operated - "for. five cents. There the lucky youth- ful operator could pick up a valuable prize; failing that he was assured of -a~claw full of candy. The funny mirrors and magic carpet were addi- tional "musts" on the youngsters' hit parade. Children's Day proved to many. of the "concessiopaires that buyer-resist- ance is considerably more than just a phrase. The children shopped around for the best buys, and the operators who failed to reduce prices on this eventful occasion found themselves with a scarcity of customers. In short order the youthful horde forced the neglectful concessionaires to post Specialy Childrens' Day prices.
