It must be re- membered that the periods of greatest average warmth and cold lag considerably behind the long- eat and shortest days respectively. For this reason meteorologists eonsider the best compromise is to include June. July and August " aunt-er; September.

Weisman of he Uni- versiy of Minnesota has written a book "Your Chest Should Be Flat" which dispels the old no- tion that we ought to have torso: like barrels, After having measur- ed 20,000 school children and tested 600 for vital capacity he decides that as a child ages the thorax broadens and flattens. The chests of the tuberculous, so far from being flat, as many sup- pose, are actually deeper, hence more undeveloped, than they should be. Dr. Weisman wants to forestall tuberculosis. Hence he suggests exercises of the kind that played their part in the evolution of man from the lower animals. Professor G. H.

FALL WHEAT CROP REEAYS ITS CARE Fall wheat is now u populnr topic of discussion among farm- ers and all those interested in the growing of field crops. The old argument " to whether chess in wheat in a depraved form or I species of plant that thrives when the wheat is poor still persists 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 cheek-up shows that each of these factors, coupled with proper seed bod preparation, plays an exceed- ingly important part. The results of many carefully supervised fertilizer experiments, conducted by agricultural eol. 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. FREE ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE.

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 moree than average fertility. Higher phosphate fertilizers, such IS 2-16-6 or 0-16-6, are prefer- able on many of the heavier soil types and areas notably deficient in phosphate.

Write for prices. J. N. O'Neill & Hon. Georgetown, UntngioL - 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 ration for most classes of livestock. It is a good crop to retain in the rotation, and on many a Western Ontario farm, where extreme drought prevented the "tissue- tory development of spring grain this year, fall wheat is likely to be the only profitable cereal. b'P.r.tr.J.clraLEJG'H warm _I,EGHORN “ICIIJIJ'IS AND MUTUIlU \‘CLES Davids. ticraie Weht, “chiral.
