TOO MUCH RAIN, COLD Planting was unusually delayed by the late cold spring in Quebec and growth was slow owing to low temperatures, dull eather and the heavy rains in June. Resulting from warmer weather during the past 2 weeks, the crop has shown much Amprovement but is still about two weeks later than normal.

How Groundwood Pulp‘s Produced Groundwood pulp is obtained by the rubbing action of wood held by pressure against a rotating grindâ€" stone which has a pattern imprintâ€" ed in it by a burr. The quality of the pulp produced depends on the moisture content of the wood, the #peed of rotation of the stone, the pressure of the wood against the stone and the temperature at which grinding takes place. Spruce, bal sam, and, on the Pacific Coast, the western hemlock are the principal Canadian woods used for the manuâ€" facture of groundwood pulp. Eastâ€" ern hemlock and jack pine are. used to a limited extent, and poplar is also ground to make a bulky sheet. The total production of wood much as 5,000,000 tons per year and the value often exceeds $100,000,â€" 000. Nearly twoâ€"thirds of this quanâ€" tity is groundwood pulp, and about 80 per cent, of the groundwood pulp 4s used in making newsprizt paper, one of Canada‘s most important exâ€" port materials.

Reports GREAT BRITAIN: The German offensive against Britain became somewhat stronger last week and say that the Nazi have cleared zones across the channel along the eoast of France as military operaâ€" tions extend some hundred miles inland. This zone of activity exâ€" tends from Dunkirk to Brest, epposite Plymouth, and the southâ€" east corner of England. In spite of heavy bombing raids Britains are ‘prepared to deal with the enemy and antiâ€"aircraft batteries and the R.A.F. have been in conâ€" stant combat with effectiveness, downing satisfactory percentages in every encounter. Britain‘s blunt rejection of Hitâ€" ler‘s "peace" advances were folâ€" lowed by the preparation of an "eightâ€"point peace program" by Hitler and would indicate that Nazidom is more anxious to end hostilities than it cares to admit. The best offer Hitler can make therefore, is a return to the preâ€" September‘ status quo, perhaps with some concessions to the Czechs. This, though a far cry from the eight points which would leave his boundaries as they are at present, would assure Herr Hitâ€" ler of continuing as Fuehrer. It is not rash to assume that he is ready, if not eager, to strike a bargain with Britain somewhere between those extremes. However, the determination of Britains to rid Europe of the Nazi power will not tolerate such ideas. THE BALKANSâ€"The German warning to King Carol of Reâ€" mania leads us to wonder whether he is or is not King. He has been playing both ends against the middle for so long that there is little left for him to attempt furâ€" ther. He must settle differences wih Hungary and Bulgaria before September 15th, so say the Axis Powers. Failure to meet this deadâ€" line, authoritative quarters say, may result in intervention by these powers to impose their own settlement. & Reports of the German warnâ€" ing were circulated as Juliu Maniu, leader of Rumania‘s powâ€" erful peasant party, arrived at Bucharest from his home in Tranâ€" sylvania to oppose any concesâ€" sions to Hungary or Bulgaria. Sources close to the government had indicated that Rumania might try a compromise solution of Hungary‘s claims to Transylvanâ€" ia by offering to cede the three border cities of Satuâ€"Mare, Orâ€" adea and Arad and arranging an exchange of populations in other districts. Maniu pointed out that Rumania‘s chief strength in opâ€" posing Hungarian and Bulgarian demands lay in Germany‘s desire to maintain peace in the Balkans. THE MEDITERRANEANâ€"The hardâ€"handed briskness with which Hitler and Mussolini are extendâ€" ing their domination down the Balkan peninsula increases the threat to Britain‘s great interests in the Near East and makes it more than ever imperative that she should maintain her contrcl of the Mediterranean which Italy is challenging. Bombs over Engâ€" land tend to obscure the fact that the Battle of Britain reaches far beyond the British shore. Gibralâ€" tar (gateway to the Atlantic), CANADIAN DRAFT FOR HOME DEFENSE: The details of Canada‘s Home Defénse Policy were outlined in the House of Commons on Monday, July 29th by the Hon. J. L. Railston. One of the most important of our war efâ€" forts is rapidly taking shape and the present plan is to train 800,000 men for home defense yearly at the rate of about 30,000 a month Malta and the Suez Canal are vital to the existance of the Briâ€" tish Empire. m a deed, if it weren‘t for the necâ€" essity of maintaining such strong naval and air forces in Egypt, Gibraltar and Malta, the home deâ€" fenses would be much mightier than they are now. The British are guarding the Suez canal as zealously as they are their own home shores. Inâ€" Mr. Ralston explained. These men will be trained in thirty or mora Waining centres across Canada, each of which will handle about 1,000 men each month. The 300,â€" 000 figure for a year set by Mr. Ralston is apparently predicled en doubt whether training can be carried on during the two midâ€" winter months.

POLICY TO CAUSE THE MINIMUM DISLOCATION TO INDUSTRY: There are difficultâ€" les in withdrawing so many men from the normal life of the comâ€" munity even for the comparativeâ€" ly short period of thirty day‘s training, but difficultiee cannot be allowed to obscure the goal to be reached.

NO DISTINCTION TO BE MADE BETWEEN NEW REâ€" CRUITS AND REST OF MIJ.â€" ITIA: It is important that from the outset of this training plan these men drafted be regarded as members of the Canadian army. As recruits they will pass Cirectâ€" ly into the militia regiments.

The plan to proâ€" tect territory in the Western Hemisphere now belonging to European powers, was embodied in a drait resolution last week, called "The Act of Havana" and provides that The American Reâ€" publics may establish "regions of provisional administration‘" in any areas now held by nonâ€"American nations which are in danger of beâ€" coming the subjectâ€"matter of exâ€" change of territories or sovâ€" ereignity. Thus the 21 American Republics have prepared to back up the Monroe Doctrine with whatever force is necessary to prevent American territory ruled by European powers falling into the hands of Germany or her friends. THE AMERICAS TO PREVENT AXIS POWERS FROM CONâ€" Its implications mean that for the first time in history the armâ€" ed forces of the United States can be used to protect any part of the hemisphere withcut incurring any liability or charges of imperialâ€" ism, since the United States Govâ€" ernment would be acting on beâ€" half of all other republics. Since the United States is the only Reâ€" public in this hemisphere with a navy strong enough to prevent an invasion or to prevent any power from taking over the French and Dutch possessions, the resolution was considered to nominate the United States as the hemisphere‘s defender. THE FAR EAST CHINA: Foreign quarters close to the Chungkin government asâ€" serted a few days ago that China had rejected unconditionally reâ€" cent Japanese overtures to halt hostilities and conclude an allâ€" embracing settlement between the two nations â€" largely at the exâ€" pense of third powers‘ interest in Eastern Asia. These informants said the Japanese proposals inâ€" cluded the following: 1. Outright cession by China to Japan of five provinces, Hopei, Charhar, Shantung, Shansi and Suiyuan. 2.

The reply to Sir Robert Craigie‘s protest said the arrests were "the first step" against a British esâ€" pionage network covering the enâ€" tire country.

Potatoâ€"Tomato Plant Discovered A single fruit tree, and a scrawny one at that, becomes a veritable orâ€" chard when Thomas Glover, of Stonington, Conn., a gardener for 30 years, gets his hands on it. HE PERFORMS MIRACLES Glover, who has conducted many experiments in grafting and budâ€" ding, has for example, taken one tree and caused it to produce 20 different kinds of apples, as well as a quantity of Bartlett pairs. Back in 1925 he began notching stocks of various cther trees on the trunk of a ‘Baldwin apple. Today the tree produces Baldwins, Greenâ€" ings, Gravensteins, Mcintosh, Golâ€" den Swestings, Denison Reddings, Gilly{lowers, Kings, Russets and no less than eleven other popoular kinds. . THEY‘RE OF SAME FAMILY The basic principle of grafting, Glover explains, is to keep the difâ€" ferent fruits of a family together. A pear might do satisfactorily on an applo tree for a few years, while a peach or a plum is not likely to do well. In other words, fruits of seed are of one family and should be kept together, while those with stones are of another family and should not be crossed with a seed species.
