The Fergus police chief was within his rights when he laid the information. The motorist was wrong when he left his car in front of the garage. The point we want to make is that the law is being enforced in other places as well as Durham, and we cannot ever remember any outside tourist passing through Durham being summonsed on so trivial a char‘ge. THAT FIXED CALENDAR We may he old-fashioned, and a monkey-wrench in the machinery of progress, but _we haven’t much sympathy with thls “fixed” calen- dar movement which at the present time is getting so much pubhcity. The arguments, at least some of them, that are advanced for its ad- 0p_t_1_on do not appeal to‘uns at all. n“ 5’“. fl VVV‘VfiD “v --v - -‘- ‘- - V We simply don’t want Sunday or Monday or any other day to be the first of the month continuously; neither do we want Christmas day to always come on Wednesday.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE route of the polar flight just. completed by Captain After many years of careful sel- ection a variety of the tomato has been developed that possesses first ' rate quality and ripens in the open ‘ in from 95 to 100 days. The devel- opment of this tomato began twenty-eight years ago when the variety Earliana was recognized to possess considerable merit. It Was seen. however, to produce plants and fruit showing consider- able variation. Mr. W. T. Macoun the Dominion Horticulturist, taking advantage of these variations. started making selections of plants showing early maturity and heavy yield. After several generations had been grown and seed saved from early maturing desirable plants. it. was found that this method of selection had so altered the type of the plants and fruit 'from the original Eart-iana that it was decided to call the segregation Alacrity. To growers particularly in northern districts this variety has been a great hoon. as it has made it possible for them to grow tomatoes almost. as well as those living in more fawiirahle districts.‘ Further improvement is. however. still looked for in considerable blocks ol‘ plants grown on trial groumls, A record- of [wrformance is lwing kept of eaeh plant. showing the yield of Pipe fruit for the tirst two weeks. month. and total season besides noting the amount, of rough t'rnit [ll‘tMllltttFtL This study of the zvert'm-manee of individual plants reveals the desirable strain to use for t'urther sti'leetit‘vn work.

These eggs are un- pOpular with consumers and. in many cities it is almost impossmle to sell them at any price. Washed eggs are even more dangerous to the poultry industry than dirty ones. Washing destroys the natural protective bloom of the egg shell and, the shell being damp, mould spores often enter causing the egg to become unfit for food. At the same time it is not diffi- cult to prevent the production of .dirty eggs. What is needed is an abundance of clean, dry litter on the floor, plenty of nests, about one to every six hens. clean straw in the nests, and frequent gathering of the eggs.
