"Provisions we had in ample quanâ€" tity. Even the addition of Dr. Loewe cers>d no shortage, since each twentyâ€" eight rations provision could be stretched to a third more." . So there remains confusion as to the reasin forâ€" Wegener‘s trip. The station ran short of fuel, however, and the temâ€" porature in the snow hut varied from freezing just under the ceiling to 4 degrees below zero at the floor. At Concerning the situation as to food Dr. Georgi, sending out word from the central station last May, said: it on the sled, which was found fortyâ€" two miles further inland, buried it again in its last resting place on the ice which Wegener had traversed so many times. Rasmus was never found Some deep crevasse probably holds his tance, h mus we ed. that ine year‘s observations, for which proparations had alrsady been se painful, should not be lost. Oct. 20 came, and still Wegener kept going, not knowing that the inâ€" tense cold of 65 dezress below zoro ha 1 nroved more of a detarrcat to his inland companion than the shortage of food. He had to drop part of his sup-‘ plics along the route, caching them in snow cairns. In such intense cold thc' snow becomes like sand and it is al-" most impossible to haul a sled.

EXPERIENCE OF COURTAULD. In contrast with this unfortunate r end of Wegener is the experience of Augustine Courtauld of the British Arctic Air Route Expedition, who spent five months alone in a tent on the inland ice cap and came out none the worse for his experiences. The worst temperature he recorded was 64 degrees below zero, which is milder than had been expected in the interior of Greenland. But what Greeniand lacks in cold it makes up in wind and snow.

Up to July 11 the pack of British Columbia sa‘â€" mon was slightly above 100,000 cases. In 1930 the output up to July 12 was 137,953. The salmon caught in Britâ€" ish Columbia in 1930 numbered near-( ly 37,000,000.

Peonies must not be planted deeply, This also prevents their blooming. Placing the buds two inches below the surface of the soil is sufficient.

Put them in rich, mellow soil and give them a yearly dressing of well rotted manure and they will thrive and blosâ€" ‘ som for a hufldred years and more. l Do not move a peony if it is doing well where it is. The shock to the plant makes it sulk for years. And while they are sulking there will be no blossoms. Clumps should not be divided unless absolutely necessary, If moved intact they suffer a shock and frequently deteriorate in a few years.

They may be had to bloom earlier than any of the others, They make very acceptâ€" able .Christmas gifts and are an inâ€" expensive decoration for the Christmas table at a time when cut flowers and plants are beyond the ordinary purse. Have you planted any peonies this fall? Many think that spring is the time to plant these beautiful flowers. Do not plant them in the spring. Nine Never allow the earth to dry out, but it is just as harmful to keep them too wet. For indoor culture see that the soil is fine and free from lumps. Place the bulb so that when the pot is filled to within an inch of the top the bulb will be just below the surface of the soil. Water well and put the potted bulbs in a dark cool place for about eight weeks. Then bring gradually to the light. Better leave the plants in a warm room away from the light until the shoots are several inches high. lfl brought to the light too soon the flowâ€" ers unfold before they are fully ml-l tured. I ' Pleasing effects may be produced in planting bulbs by arranging colors that harmonize. Beds of all one color are striking; especially is this true in the case of a bed of bright red tulips. It is much better to plant only one or two colors in a bed, but in the border clumps of different kinds are effective. Do not buy mixed varieties of bulbs for planting in a ved.

Lily bulbs need to be six inches or more deep. It is not necâ€" essary to mulch the beds,. If this is done the tender shoows will be aarmed in trying to push through unless the mulch is removed very early in the spring. 1 Good drainage is very important. Bulbs will rot if planted where water lies during the winter. A layer of and directly under the bulbs is adâ€" vised, if possible. The soil needs not be very rich; any soil that is well worked and loose is suitable. No fertilizer should touch any bulb or plant and too much is far worse than not enough. (By Jeanette Leader.) Fall is the time to plant bulbs in your garden and in pots for decoratâ€" ing your rooms during the winter months. Every available space should be used in the garden for Hyacinths, daffodils, narcissi, tulips, crocus, lilies, peonies and other spring flowering bulbs. They are inexpensive and many of them once planted come up year after year.
