Giving a talk on the Devotional Hymn by Frances R. due to weed seeds ' is very great. Where soil moisture becomes more limited, the control of weed growth becomes more essential. Noxious weeds, especially those which are like­ ly to be introduced on farms where they are not ye: prevalent, should be removed. With regard to retaining well de­ veloped seeds of high vitality, plump seeds of strong vitality may endure adverse growing conditions because of the stronger seedlings which are supported by the greater food reserv­ es of the well developed seed. Uni­ formity of seed is important, Uni­ form. seed free from awns, hoods, and inert material will run through the drill cups fieely. Seed which can be delivered through the drill with the highest degree of regularity is more evenly spaced in the drill rows in the ground and is thus able to compete more effectively with weed growth.

There are, however, many fac­ tors that enter into crop production which are controllable. Among these is the preparation of grain for seed.| cioVer seeds is given in the bulletin This is a farm job that can usually I on "Weeds and Weed Seeds” which be done during t-he five months after; may be obtained free on application threshing in the fall to within oneto the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion Department Agriculture, Ottawa. threshing in the fall to within one month of seeding- in the spring, When cleaning and grading of seed is left until the busy seeding time, the work is sometimes rushed and consequent­ ly not so carefully.done. Best results are obtained when the capacity of the seed cleaning and grading machines is not overtaxed. Many machines do much better work when they are op­ erated considerably under their com­ mercially: rated capacities. It seems to be a good plan to have the work of preparing seed done when the wea­ ther is favourable, and at least one month before seeding. There are three main reasons for cleaning seed, namely, the removal of weed seeds seed from seeds; to retain well developed of high vitality, and to -have of uniform size and freedom obstructions. The annual loss of MORNING MOODS By Barbara B. Brooks When February morning are and dark and gray we roll out of bed reluctantly, feeling that it is still go­ ing-to-bed time and not getting-up time at all. We find ourselves cross and grouchv and very weary of “it all.” We may even go through the morning in a frame of mind not con­ ductive to efficient work or cheerful personality. Wc don’t know what is*' the .matter, and blame it on the wea­ ther or on people — on anything, in fact, but the right thing. Midwinter activities are heavy. By cold February we have stored up quite a fatigue reserve from our before­ Christmas and after-Christmas hurry­ ing, Wc grow careless about our bed­ time hour, and each night miss out a little on our quota of sleep. We skip breakfast on mornings when we are behind schedule with our dress­ ing. We drink coffee late at night and then toss for an hour or two, losing precious moments of rest. In general we slip away from our stand­ ard of healthful living, and soon a lit­ tle cold-germ conies crawling in the window or under the door and we are down. “What can I do about all this?” you probably ask, a little disbeliev- ingly. You feel that much of this ac­ tivity and much of the tired feeling is unavoidable. Perhaps the activity is, but something can be done to les­ sen the tirc-d feeling if the increased activities of midwinter are allowed for and an adjustment in the daily sched­ ule is made. Then, too, an adjust­ ment in cur food habits should be made, so that the body can do more to combat fatigue and disease. We suggest, as a starter, that the day be begun with a very substantial breakfast. Even if you are pressed for time, try to plan your getting up so that you will have more than the traditional minute to snatch a cup of coffee. Sit down, draw a few’ deep breaths, and then, in a calm, unhurried frame of mind, have your fruit or fruit juice, your crisp ready-to-eat cer­ eal, your golden brown toast, egg and fragrant coffee. After a week of this leisurely breakfasting you will begin to look forward to morning and will find it a great deal easier to get out of bed, knowing that a good break­ fast awaits you. . One prominent business house had a campaign for better breakfasts am­ ong its employees. A rule was made that no one should come to work without first having breakfasted, for this particular employer felt that a. higher degree of efficiency during working hours was reached by those who were well fed. That is the op­ inion shared by business engineers, teachers mid nutritionists, Luncheon, though leisurely, should not be too heavy. This is a good meal for getting in. your quota of protect­ ive foods — fresh fruits and veget­ ables, milk and whole grain cereal's- These contain the vitamin and min­ eral necessities which help us to ward' off infection and keep our system re­ gulated. If our body machine is func­ tioning regularly it is hard for germs . to take a permanent lodging. The evening meal can include the protein and carbohydrate require­ ments, as well as an additional green vegetable or an extra fruit. Bran muf­ fins, served several times weekly and. alternated with bran served in some other form, will help to supply “bulk" .o the diet and ensure regularity. The eating before bed habit ought to be curtailed a little during the win­ ter time, A light meal is not harm­ ful, since it is conducive to restful sleep, but too much food or too many stimulants cause tossing and dream­ ful sleep. If you are being entertain­ ed and your hostess serves you cof­ fee, accept it with a smile and drink some like a martyr . . . courtesy de­ mands this ... but the thoughtful hostess gives her guests the choice'of coffee and decaffeinated coffee, or serves the latter as a matter of course. • Then she knows that those of her guests who are susceptible to coffee stimulation will not regret having been her guests! These may seem like small things to do in your winter health program, but they will show up in very black ink on the credit side of your health ledger. They will make you a nicer person to have around the house and. ■a nicer boss or secretary at the fice.

At last he came to a particularly tough piece and, turning to his mate, he said in a hoarse whisper that could be heard plainly: “ ’Tain’t the food wot does yer good ’ere, Joe; it’s the blinkin’ exercise.” 1 MONUMENTS at first cost Having our factory equipped with the most modern machinery for the exe­ cution of high-class work, we ask you to see the largest display of monu­ ments of any retail factory in Ontario., All finished by sand blast machines.
