Fiftyâ€"two farmers are conducting eertified seed potato experiments on early ancd late varieties, while 180 are conducting tests with hyâ€" brid corn and open poilinated corn. fertilized and seeded down. Junior Farmer competitive ferâ€" tlity tests are being conducted on 30 farms while Junior Farmer grain, potato and corn clubs are eonducting projects on 349 farms. The Crop Associations assisted in purchase of seed and payment of freight in the majority of cases. Field crop competitions with oats and potatoes are under way on 175 farms, in coâ€"operation with agriâ€" cultural societies. There are 1,113 farmers and junâ€" tor farmers in Ontario taking part in 223 projects sponsored by the Ontario Crop Improvement Assocâ€" fation, states John D. MacLeod, Outario Dept. of Agriculture, who is secretary of the Association. There are 40 branches of the Asâ€" sociation and the approximate acâ€" reage under project work totals 1069 this year. Combined oat and barley variety and fertility tests are being conâ€" ducted on 169 farms. The majority of the plots are on an acre basis with recently introduced varieties being sown beside the farmer‘s own seed. Soil samples were taken for analysis and a portion of each plot fertilized as recommended. lmproved bay and pasture mixâ€" tures are being tried out on 51 223 Crop Projects Going In Ontario Evergreens Best Transplanted Now One of the new destroyers reâ€" cently acquired by the Royal Canadian Navy from the United States, the St. Croix, is commandâ€" ed by Licutenant M. A. Medland, of Toronto, pictured above. Heralocks, massed in a garden «orner, rest pendulous branches and feathery, dark green needles on the February snow. Four months later, covered with soft, new growth, they form fitting companions for mounâ€" tain larel blooming above a carpet ef fern. Or planted in a line and wheared to formal, compace hedge, these native American conifers make a superb backdrop for the yeloiw daffodi‘s in April, for the warm zray stems and brilliant red berries of black alders in Decemâ€" ber. With the coming of cooler weathâ€" «r and fall rains, conditions for transplenting evergreens are al most ideal. Unlike trees and shrubs that lose their follage, they beneâ€" fit by early fall planting, as this provides an opportunity for the reâ€" establishment of feeding roots to supply the moisture that they reâ€" qaire even during the winter GET STARTED BEFORE WINTER From low, trailing juniper to towering pine, the evergreens vary widely in size, form and color tone. Some belong in foundation groupâ€" ings; others, used as ione spectâ€" mers, develop into stately sentinels that dominate broad sweeps of open lawn. Each type fills a specific purâ€" pose; each makes possible a specâ€" HWic effect.

L. Marsh writing in Health, the official organ of the Health League of Canada, refutes the delusion that a child‘s first teeth are of little importance since they won‘t last long. On the contrary, he asserts, they should be looked upon as the foundations for the permanent teeth. Unless they are maintained in the mouth in a healthy condiâ€" tion for the proper length of time, he says, the lower two thirds of the face fails to develop fully and symmetrically and the whole appearance of the face may be spoiled. DENTIST 3 TIMES YEAR More than this, he asserts, denâ€" tal infections progress more raâ€" pidly in the teeth of children than in those of adults, and he recomâ€" mends that children‘s â€" teeth should be examined at least three times a year from three years of age to adolescence. Regarding the general care of the teeth, Dr. Marsh urges thorâ€" ough mastication of fibrous foods such as celery and raw apples. Gum tissues need exercise no less than muscles, he states, and also the chewing of fibrous foods is about the best way possible to polish those surfaces of the teeth that lie toward the tongue. Diet has much to do with the health of the teeth, says Dr. Marsh. At least a pint of milk a day should be drunk, and meals should include one egg a day, some fresh fruit and vegetables, while sticky, starchy carbohyâ€" drates should be reduced to a minimum. In winter months, when sunbaths are impossible, codâ€"liver oil should be taken in order to supply the necessary vitamin D.

They analyze the leaves and roots of plants where mineral lodes are suspected, for minerals are dissolved by rain, mixed with the soil in which plants grow and sucked up into the roots, stem and leaves. The scientists reduce the leaves to ash and photograph seen, and it is possible to tell by studying these Whether a certain element is present. This method has proved successful in tracing the rarer minerals, such as nickel and molybdenum. y 4 them.
