IMPORTANCE OF SEED POTATO CERTIFICATION Seed potato certification which has proved its merit during the past 20 years has been accepted uncondition ally by the potato industry through out the North American continent as an absolute necessity. Seed certifica tion was originally established to combat potato virus diseases which had become so firmly established that grave doubts were expressed as to the possibility of checking their spread to all potatoes. However, through seed certification this danger has .been averted, but, as John Tuck er, Chief Inspector, Dominion Seed Potato Certification Service, states “Without seed certification the whole sale spread of virus diseases would materialize in a very short period, therefore, certification must continue for many years to come. Without the application of certification methods, eVeh the best of the present day Strains of seed potatoes would soon pass into oblivion through disease as many of the varieties so popular 25 years ago have done.” The value to the potato industry of having a trained staff of inspect ors Is ■ self-evident. In Canada the work of certification is carried out by the Seed Potato Certification Service, the officers of which are keenly ap preciative of the problems confront ing them. These inspectors have been called the Canadian watch dogs of the potato industry, and. this epithet is true in many ways. The inspectors must of necessity come into close contact with the seed growers at least twice each season and the seed grow ers themselves are naturally very ob servant where potato troubles are concerned and at once bring any sign of trouble to the attention of thejn- speetor, when prompt action is tak en. This co-operation .between grow- ers and inspectors is of course in ad dition to the inspectors’ own investi gations and observations, while the inspector may reciprocate by advising growers of any ndw development in the field of science with respect to potato growing and where desired in formation may be obtained. The in spectors also know the location of all the best fields and strains of seed and also the most reliable potato growers and can arrange, for the multiplication of the best strains and of promising varieties in the best locations. Another of the many services off ered is the issuance of seed and health certificates required in connec tion with the export trade. Many im portings. countries now demand offic ial health certificates guaranteeing that the potatoes have been inspected twice in the field and after harvest and are entirely satisfactory for seed purposes. Without these certificates the potatoes are not allowed to enter the countries in question as seed. The whole object of the Canadian seed certification service is to make avail able to potato growers a plentiful supply of good, vigorous, disease-free seed, with ultimate benefit to consum ers and the Dominion as a whole. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Palmer spent Sunday afternoon with the latter’s mother and sister, Miss Gertie Bush and Mrs. John Bush, of Wroxeter.

Hist & MIDDLE SCHOOL FORM III UPPER SCHOOL FORM V British Officers Killed in India Seven British officers, two British non-commissioned officers and twen ty Indians of other ranks in the Brit ish forces were killed in ambush in the South Waziristan district Friday and Saturday. The troops were trap ped in Shapur Tangi Valley by arm ed followers of the Fakir of Ipi, trib al leader in territory near the Afghan istan border. Forty-five officers and men, including both British and In dian soldiers, were wounded in the burst of shots that struck an armed convoy. Rebels Warned Britain Diplomatic sources disclosed Span ish insurgents had warned Great Bri tain that insurgent warships had been instructed to fire upon British freight ers if they attempt to enter the Bas que port of Bilb’oa. They, said Gen, Francisco Franco, insurgent com mander-in-chief, in a note to Sir Hen ry Chilton, declared the presence of British warships as convoys for food laden freighters would make no diff erence. The London Daily Mail said it understood the Cabinet decided in effect to recognize Franco’s block ade, meaning the navy would not pro tect the British shipping within the Spanish territorial three-mile limit. Woodland on the farm is consid ered aii asset by most farmers. The owner of a 10-X5 acre woodlot is in dependent in regard to fuel-wood and lumber for repairs and minor build ing around the farm. An agricultural district will grow better crops and living conditions are improved if 10- 15 per cent, of the area is in wood land. It is a windbreak for the crops in winter and summer and helps to control floods by holding back and reducing the surface run-off. Wood land acts as a reservoir that tends to keep a regular supply of water in the wells and springs. The area in woodland Should be increased in many districts and most farms would be better if some plant ing was done. Each farmer should carefully survey his farm, and decide on the locations that should be plant ed. Very little planting is necessary or will be successful in a woodlot that has not been pastured for years, as nature has attended to the starting of a new crop of trees. Planted trees would be crowded out by the vigor ous trees that have started from seed. Trees may be planted in a corner that has not seeded up or an ever green windbreak may be needed on the north and west sides of woods. Planting will be successful in open pastured woodlot. The planting will speed up the restocking, and it gives the owner an opportunity to in troduce valuable species such as pine, spruce, walnut, oak and white ash. White spruce, white pine and sugar maple will grow under the shade of light foliaged trees such as poplar and birch. The trees in the pastured woods and underplanting under pop lar do hot require the 6 foot Spacing than is recommended for open land planting as there will be natural re production starting If the slock’ are kept out. There are areas on many farms that would be better growing trees. the an It may be a steep hillside that is dif ficult to work, or that is eroding. Sandy and gravelly soils are often a liability if they are not growing trees. There are small irregular fields that are cut off by a creek, road or rail road. Every farm should have a wind break to protect the farm buildings. It improves living conditions by breaking the force of the winds, re duces snow-drifting on roads and around buildings if properly located and gives a beautiful setting for the buildings. There are odd corners around the farm buildings that are not and never will be utilized. These corners .if planted would improve the appearance of the farm, keep down weeds and be growing something of value. Landowners in Ontario may secure free small trees for planting wind breaks, plantations and restocking woodlots. Application forms and des criptive literature may be secured by applying^ to ' The Forestry Branch, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, tree nurseries at St. Williams, Midhurst and Orono, or the county agricultural offices.

One day I was walking near a very high scaffold when a hammer fell and missed me by inches. I looked up and a man shouted down: “Sorry, guv; next time 1’11 wrap a piece of flannel round it.” “Did you notice how the Daily Humdrum slammed my latest play?” “Oh, don’t mind that. Tire critic on that paper is notoriously like a parrot—he only repeats what every body else is saying.” SAVING UNNECESSARY EXPENSES THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION acting as your executor may save your estate in cost of administration many dollars which would be Un necessarily expended by a less experienced personal executor.
