After beets are harvested, these myriad root­ lets remain in the soil to compose and add humus, and water then penetrate tiny channels to the soil serve to nourish the roots of ■crops which follow. Sugar beets are thus natural subsoilers. It has been estimated by agro­ nomists that, in decaying, the fibrous roots of beets add one ton ■ also ure the two is de­ Air the and of humus to the acre. It is estimated that extra moist- available for plant roots in summer, equal in .effect to inches of summer rainfall, stored in the ground by reason of its having been .cropped ONE season to sugar beets.

INGERSOLL, ONTARIO Mother Of Exeter L^dy Celebrates Ninetieth Birthday (Winnipeg Free Press) A ninetieth birthday is a spec­ ial day in its own right, but for Mrs. James Dougall of 579 Jessie Avenue, Friday became a red- letter day when members of 3 generations of her family ar­ rived to help celebrate her nine­ tieth birthday. Representing the four genera­ tions of the family were Mrs. Dougall, her son, J. Foster Dou­ gall with whom she lives, a daughter, Mrs, Catherine Ungar1, of Stonewall; a 'granddaughter, Mrs, W. Lawson, of Kirkfield Park; and a great granddaugh­ ter, Wyllea .Lawson, A.member of a family of 11, Mrs. Dougall was born north of Hensail, Ont,, March 1, ,1882. She married James Dougall who three years previously had taken a homestead at Whitewater, Man. Describing her trip ;from On­ tario to Whitewater, Mrs. Dou­ gall recalled that the train jour­ ney by the United States had taken two .weeks. Wood Stoves "The coaches were heated with wood t o v e s”, she explained. "Every time , we came to bush country, the ’passengers had to gather fuel.” In addition, the snow was deep that year, Mrs. Dougall said, and the train was often stuck, some­ times for days. "Once oi’ twice we ran out of food and water,” she added. Winnipeg presented a different face 68 years ago, according to Mrs. Dougall. The wide paved streets of today were nothing but trails, she recalled. And the station . . . ? Well, it was jus^ a little wooden structure, also' furnished with a wood stove. From 'Brandon, it was neces­ sary to travel 60 miles over a narrow trail by horse and sleigh to the 'homestead, she continued. "The snow was four feet deep and during the two-day trip had to 'stop with food and rest."
