Canadian author of “Streets of Shadow,” “The Murder Tree,” “The Root-House," “The Little Men, grass. Work carried on by the Forage Plant Division, Dominion Experi mental Farms, has indicated that this species might well replace Kentucky bluegrass on shady or sandy loca tions where moisture is a limiting factor, It has been shown that dur ing periods of long, extreme drought this grass will become brown but will recover rapidly when it receives moisture. In September, 1936, two prelimin ary test lawns of “Olds” creeping red fescue were sown in the turf gardens in Ottawa. These lawns have com pared favorably with all the more common mixtures in the same test. In September, 1938, a new series of plots were established to determine how this grass behaves under diff erent forms of management, with special reference to fertilizers, water ing, height of cutting and ability to combat weeds. This experiment will provide an excellent test of “Olds” creeping red fescue, and its value 4s a turf grass in eastern Canada. “Say, Jim, you work at a picture show; how about getting me a couple of tickets?” “Sure, Joe.

I ap preciate very much, however, the compliment of your invitation to con tribute a letter to this series. Any mewspaper reader would appreciate it, because any newspaper reader has a secret conviction that he could do much better than the editor; we would have an amazing journalistic achievement in this country if the editors would all retire and permit the readers to take over and put their arm-chair notions into effect — until the sheriff arrived. As a social organism, the city is merely an enlargement of the town, the province an enlargement of the city, the nation an enlargement of the province. If the affairs of the towns and villages are managed in differently, if the people are content to relegate local government to the incompetents and the stuffed shirts it follows that weakness and ineffic iency will characterize provincial and national government. I think the weekly newspapers of Canada can exercise a great deal of influence col lectively in Dominion affairs by the force of their local influence in stressing the fact that government is not something remote and apart) something to be handed over to the mercies of professional pbliticians, but simply an expression of ourselves. If the more intelligent citizens of a community are apathetic to mun icipal affairs and prefer to criticize rather than to serve they have only themselves to blame if their local government is Weak; nor should they delude themselves in the belief that the effect is merely local. The poison of indifference at the source pollutes the whole political stream. The weekly newspapers, which reflect the standards of their communities but at the same time influence those stand ards very powerfully, can raise the standard of government throughout all Canada by fighting apathy and in difference in the smaller centres. Many of you, of course, have been doing this, but it needs more doing. Don't leave it to the big dailies to express the editorial viewpoint of Canada; let your editorial page speak for yottr community, Encourage more letters from your readers—not from the Cranks, but from the people who should have Try to wean your the idiotic notion writes letters to himself as being not quite bright. Mr. Bernard Shaw and Mr. "H. G. Wells aren’t above writing letters to The London Times. Recent events have given us cause to contemplate democracy a little more analytically than in the past, to realize that it is threatened not only from without but from within. The cancer of decay is more perilous than the bombs of dictators. If we assume that only rascals or fools would be interested in politics and that decent men would be contaminated by as sociating with them, then we are in a Way giving our affairs into the hands of rascals and fools, and in little better state than the people of those countries governed by bullies. Better government like chariy, must begin at home. Within the past few years creeping red fescue has assumed a position of importance in some parts of Western Canada. A strain which • has been granted registration under the name “Olds” is being, multiplied fairly rap idly. A considerable quantity of the seed finds its way into the United States where it is in good demand. In eastern Canada the species is becoming of importance particularly as a turf grass. The “Olds” strain produces a thick durable turf of suit able texture for fairways. The leaves are stiff but fine, and therefore pro vides a good “lie” for the ball, thus meeting one of the main requirements of a fairway grass. This type of fes cue is not suitable for bowling gree,ns as it will not stand close cutting but it does give good results as a lawn “This is the fifth time you have been brought up before me,” said the judge, severely. “Yes, your Honor," smiled the of fender. “When I like a feller I gen erally gives him all my business.” SOME TOASTED FROSTINGS By Betty Barclay Whether it’s served for dinner or for informal refreshments, a cake with toasted frosting is a sure suc cess.
