TROOPS APPRECIATE
EDUCATIONAL PLAN
The Legion Educational Plan has
an enrollment overseas of 4,000 troops.
This is the best evidence that can be
produced that this plan is meeting not
only the approval of the soldiers but
also doing a most useful work. In the
life of a soldier there is a certain- am
ount of spare time, This time may be
spent in various ways but if it is spent
in a useful manner such as this Legion
Educational Plan, the soldier, when
he returns, will be in a better position
to start civil life again. This is better
for him arrd better for the nation. The
operation of an educational service has
met with hearty co-operation from the
Canadian Corps Commander Lieut-
General A. G. L. McNaughton, he hav
ing issued orders for the appointment
of regimental educational officers.
General McNaughton told a recent
meeting of high ranking army officers
representing all Canadian units in Gt.
Britain that the educational program
being carried out by the Canadian
Legion War Services is of such im
portance both for military and civil
qualifications of the men that he asked
each formation commander to give ev
ery encouragement and help. The
courses now being held include Eng
lish, French, German, Spanish, chem
istry, commercial art, type-writing,
Diesel engineering, laboratory and
technical work and. practical studies in
plumbing, welding, carpentry, plaster
ing, metal work and machinery. This
is just one of the important tasks car
ried on by the Legion Services, an
other very popular one is the enter
tainment of the troops. This is in

charge of Captain “Mert" Plunkett of
“Dwnbells” fame. He knows his job
and is doing a splendid work.

TOURIST BUSINESS
In this part of Canada we do not
think of winter time as vacation time
or tourist time. In some localities,
however, the winter tourist trade has
been developed to a most profitable
business. These places have featured
skiing and other winter sports, It ig*
in the summer that Canada enjoys the
visits from our neighbours mostly and
now is the time to plan for their re
ception and now-is the time for us to
issue the invitation that will ensure
their coming. Of course, we are all
aware that the bulk of this business
comes from the United States and
during the present struggle it is more
important than ever before that this
tourist business be encouraged so that
there will be no decrease in the num
bers that cross our borders for a holi
day,' Every visitor spends money and
this money helps us to purchase great
er quantities of war material from-the
United States. The greater the sum
the more we can buy and that is why
this trade is so vital at ..this time. All
can play a part in the National effort
to have resident of the United States
spent their vacation in our fair land.
If you know anyone residing across
the line, tell them that they will not
be excluded by red tape and, apart
from the glorious holidaj’- they will
have, it will be a much cheaper holi
day as we pay them more than 100
cents on the dollar for their money.
Canada is a natural vacation land —
tell your American friends about, the
advantages of spending their holidays
here this summer.

HITLER THE “SPOUTER”
, After Hitler's blast on Thursday we.
have noticed several words used to il
lustrate' his method of delivering an
address. The one that caught our fan
cy was “spouter." This seemed to
convey the idea that his utterances
were like -water from a spout coming
forth in gushes^as the pump handle
goes Up and down, He at one time
“spouted" about being the protector
against Communism, but now he is
making every effort to sit in the lap
of the Russian Bear, Fie used to
“spout" about the Treaty of Versailles
and say his work was finished when
this was broken. Hitler has broken
every promise he had made, He cares
not in the least what or how he does
a thing so long as it aids his purpose
at the time. He said that Great Bri
tain must be destroyed by national
socialism when he recently spouted.
l-Ie warned the United States that if
they used their boats in convoy or in
carrying of goods to Britain they
would be sunk, This is nothing new
for he has carried on unrestricted sea
•warfare since the start of hostilities.
After this war is over and the Allies
are victorious, this paper-hanger who
now leads the Axis powers will not be
known as the Fuehrer but as “Hitler—
The Spouter.”

Walkerton Market Closed
Walkerton’s Saturday market,
which in the gay nineties was a week
end feature of this trading centre, has
fallen on such evil days that a lonely
outside butcher, vending his wares
rent free to a few scattered subjects
of the King, was hardly considered by
the Council as warranting the keep-'
ing of the' place warm and the ringing
of the town bell at 10 a.m. each Satur
day to warn all and sundry that the
seance was over, so steps were taken
to close the works.—Walkerton Her

Mill at Glamis Destroyed
Fire ’ of unknown origin razed a

Farmer Killed Picking Up Gun
George T. Livingstone, of Hanover,
an employee on the farm of Albert
Hardman, was killed when a shotgun
leaning against a shed discharged
when he attempted to pick it up. The
trigger of the gun is believed to have
caught on a board when Livingstone
moved the weapon. There will be no
inquest,

of false pretences and another of fail
ure to pay his board bill. The chief

FQR HOME USE
(Experimental Farms News)
Soybeans may be used either as a
hay crop by cutting the plants when
the pods are about two-thirds filled,
or the seed may be allowed to ripen
and be fed as an addition to the grain
ration. The ultimate use will deter
mine the method of planting
If an annual bay about equal to alf
alfa in feeding value is desired the
•seed should be drilled in similar to
oats at the rate of about ninety pounds
per acre, Seeding should be done
about May 15. When the plants have
reached the proper stage cutting may
be done after the dew is off and the
hay allowed to wilt before raking in
to windrows. Completing the curing
in windrows appears to be the most
satisfactory method.
Where a high protein supplement to
the grain ration of livestock is desir
ed, soybeans will be found to replace
such feeds as linseed and cottonseed
oil meals. Whole soybeans should not
be fed to bacon hogs, but soybeans
meal may be safely used in this case.
Whole soybeans contain about 35%
protein and 16% oil. This high oil
content is objectionable'in bacon pro
duction.
Soybeans tor seed should be plant*

Dominion Experimental Station, Har
row. —Cross cultivation of the rows,
with a spike harrow having the teeth
shaped backwards during the early
stages -of growth will aid in controll
ing weeds. , Later row cultivation may
be done as required. When ripe the
seed may be harvested with a binder
or preferably a combine if available.
Whether the crop is grown for liay
Or grain, the seed should be inoculated
with a culture of soybean nitrogen fix^
ing bacteria before planting. If this
is done, the full benefits of the legum
inous^properties of the crop will be
realized. \
These facts clearly indicate that the
soybean plant possesses many desir
able qualities. Among these are com
paratively simple cultural, require
ments, some soil improvement qualit
ies, a dual purpose hay or grain crop,
and a high protein content of grain,
not/ found in the generally grown ■
crops. Varieties are available which
are adapted to a wide range of soil
and climatic conditions. When these
qualities of soybeans are considered,
the fact becomes apparent that a small,
acreage of this' crop could be used to .
advantage on the majority of farms
feeding livestock,, particularly dairy
farms.
