HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1955-04-13, Page 3It has recently been estimated
that 92 per cent of the oat crop,
70 per cent of the barley crop-
and 77 per cent of winter Wheat
crop in Ontario are produced
from varieties introduced with-
in the last ten years. With the
present increase in cereal di-
teases, particularly cereal rats
It is now necessary to revise the
list of these recommended vari-
eties in order to provide the
farmer with more adequate in-
formation, This is necessary in
order that he may select and
grow suitable ,varieties with Suf-
ficient disease resistance,
* *
Based on the results of nine
years' testing on Illustration Sta-
tions in eastern an d northern
Ontario, the following cereal
varieties are recommended for
1955:
*
OATS
1. Rodney-a im•,..uurn-late vari-
ety of good straw strength
yielding ability, kernel type
and resistant to most races of
rust,
2. Abegweit-A mid-season vari-
ety, later than Beaver but
generally higher yielding.
Adapted to areas where Bea-
ver has been satisfactory. It
is semi-resistant to rust.
3. Lanark-Rammencled a'S an
early variety with, consider-
able rust resistance.. *. *
Other varieties that are worthy
of mention:
I. Beaver-A medium early vari-
ety with semi-rust resistance.
It h a s medium strength of
straw and good quality grain.
2. ' Clinton-An 'e a r 1 y variety
with strong straw, grain is
yellow, fair resistance to
rust.
3. Simcoe-A new 'early variety
' with resistance to the rust
races that damage Clinton. * * *
BARLEY
1. Motitcalnw-A smooth awned
malting variety with satisfac-
tory yielding ability. * * *
Other varieties that are worthy
of mention:
I. Brant A high yielding
.. smooth ,awned mildew resist-
ant feed barley.
2. rortL-A.fhilooth' atvrfed Strong
, stiawadyfeed
INCOGNITO-This pelican at the
London, England, zoo must
have seen too many melo-
dramas on TV. How else can
you explain the villain-like pose
he assumes by hiding his beak
in his feathers?
3, Bosky-A 01 o of J1 awned,
strong strawed feed barley,
*
SPRING WHEAT
I. Cascade-A fair yielding
white kernelled variety, pro-
duces fair household flour.
2, Acadia--A fair yielding vari-
ety, produces fair quality
flour.
FALL WHEAT
1. Rideau-A fair yielding feed

How Can I ?
By ROBERTA LEE
Q. How can I make a .varnish
remover?
A. If the varinish is not old
enough to begin flaking it can
best be removed with strong lye
water or a commercial remover.
Apply the solution wjth an old
brush, allow to stand until var-
nish is softened, then scrape off
with a dull putty knife,
Q. How can I prevent bleed-
ing of the gums?
A. When the gums bleed every
time the teeth are cleaned, eon-
suit a good dentist. A, tonic to
build up the gums is probably
needed.
Q. How can I renew rugs?
A. Sprinkle some ammonia
powder over the rug, dampen
the broom, and sweep well. The
rug will look almost new.
Q. How can I bring shrunken
woolens back to their normal
size?
A. ,By rinsing in fresh soap-
suds instead of clear water after
washing. Repeat each time the
garment is washed until the cor-
rect size is obtained.
Q. How should bath towels be
darned?
' A. Use white darning cotton,
inste&d of ordinary thread, to
mend the bath towels. The
mended place will not, be so
conspicuous, and the repair will
last longer.
Q. How can I remove white-
wash stains?
A. Wash them in strong, hot
vinegar. A few drops of hot
vinegar removes obstinate spots
from walls or furniture.
Q. How can I make use of
leftover starch?

over on washday use, it instead
of water , for scrubbing hearths
and tiles. It will keep them clean
longer and make them look like
new.
Q. How can I make window
panes sparkle?
A. The windows will sparkle
if a cloth dipped in ammonia and
whiting is- used instead of plain
water. and Soap; Polish with• a
.Chamois.
Q. How can I remedy food that
has become too salty?
A..Place a wet cloth over the
top of the, vessel, in which the
food is cooking, and the Steam

beddings? •
A. The,sun is better for bleach-
ing tharl, anything else.' Lay -the
washed article to be whitened
On the grass without wringing
out the water. The most obstin-
ate article will be beautifully
white after a few soakings and
dryings.
• Q. 'How can I remove iodine
stains?
A. Old iodine stains are ..tvery
difficult to remove. The best
thing tb do is to try sponging
repeatedly with diluted am-
tnonia.
THE MAGIC OF FIRST LOVE.
At the 'touch of love every
one becomes as poet. • -Plato.
Went To Jail On.
His Honeymoon.
if a novelist wrote a story
about a soldier who deliberate-
ly changed his identity after
changing clothes with a corpse,
was presumed dead by his rela-
ayes and. suddenly visited his
family twenty-five years later,
therimany readers would com-
ment: "What a fantastic Wet
Things like that just don't hap,-
Pen in real life,"
But they do. .Such a amazing
switch of identity was disclosed
At a recent .c ambridgeshire in-
quest on a fifty-nine-year-old
British ex-soldier of the first
world war after he had been
found' shot dead in his garden,
The wounds, said a doctor, were
apparently self-inflicted,
It was stated that the man
joined up in 1914. Five years
later the family received a let-
ter from the War Office stating
that he had been missing since
1918 and "Must be presumed
dead.
"You Must Help Me"
But in 1943 the "dead" soldier
turned up at his father's home,
He told an astonishing story,
In France in 1918, he said, he
changed clothes with a dead
Australian, took his identity disc
and papers and went to Aus-
tralia.
The soldier, it was further re-
vealed at the inquest, had
changed his name and after his
dramatic return to Britain show-
ed his sister an identity paper,
saying; "If anybody asks you
my name, this is it."
And under this assumed name
the man had lived until his
tragic death.
Other dramas of changed
identity make strange reading.
If, for instance, you could exam-
ine the police records in a cer-
tain French city you would
learn the amazing story of what
happened when a young couple
arrived there on their honey-
moon.
They planned to spend a week
in the district; and after break-
fast on the day after their arriv-
al, the bridegroom left his pretty
bride in the hotel sitting-room
and went out to buy her some
flowers for their 'room.
As_ he was, returning with
them, he was surprised to en-
'counter an old s'Chool friend
who suddenly darted out Of an
alley just in front of him and
gasped agitatedly: "Pierre, you
must help me! The police are
after me for a robbery I coin,-
mitted four years 'ago, They are
hound to arrest me to-day and
have already:traced me here. My.
wife is terribly ill and will die
of shock' if I'm jailed. I beg of
you, for the sake of our long
friendship, help me somehow."
The young bridegroom acted
swiftly. He ran with his friend
into the hotel and told his bride
his daring plan. He and his
friend would 'deliberately swap
identities. The thief would pre-
tend to be him, and he would
allow himself to be taken by the
police - temporarily, to give
the other the necessary respite
to make his getaway.
Ten Minutes later the two
Young men, who reseinbled
each, other and were of almost
equal height, had changed
clothes and papers. The fugitive
joined the trembling bride in
the sitting-room, completely de-ceiving the other hotel guests
lounging there.
The bridegrodm wandered in-
to the street to get himself• an-
rested. Sure enough, the police
picked 'him up within half an
hour.'lltit he felt 'cOnfldent that
before they found out their
error his friend would have left
the town for Paris -where his
wife lay ill and where he could
effectively hide himself.
But • the. bridegroom had mis-
calculated. DeSpite his 'protests
he was Charged in his friend's
name with a 'crime he had not
committed and sentenced. to two
years' imprisonment: And he
had hoped to be free within
twenty-lour hours!
The real thief got away and
was never arrested, The young
wife was left stranded on the
second day of her honeymoon.
And the huSband who had so
successfully assumed his friend's
identity spent nearly a. year in
Prison before he could convince
the police of what had really
happened!
On his discharge, the bride-
groom rejoined firs bride, who
had returned hOine to her par-
ents, Then they *exit back to
the seine. hotel to finish their
interrupted honeymoon.

year. These are new flowers and
vegetables that in the North
American field trials last year
were awarded the most points.
A few of these will certainly add
colour and interest to any bor-
der. Last year there was a new
violet alyssum and a new pet-
unia, Comanche, that is red and
stays that way.
In the vegetable lines there
are a whole lot of improved pro-
ductions. New, faster growing
and crisper radish, more tender
carrots, new beans, beets and
corn. Over the years plant
breeders have given us tremen-
dous improvement in all veget-
ables. Not only are the varieties
grown today far more tender
than those of a generation ago,
but they are also much earlier
and more 'disease resistant. With
these it is possible to have a
good garden with much variety
in areas where it was hardly
safe to risk anything but the
toughest things before. This
progress has meant more to Can-
ada than most countries because
our growing season is so short.'
Coloured Roads
To Aid Traffic
Something brand new in the
line of highways is to be tried
out in Southern Rhodesia -
oured roads.
The Municipal association has
asked the government to try
out a "colour with number"
scheme.
The object is to arrange a col-
our and mark for each route
through the towns and cities.
Lamp-posts throughout the
towns and cities will be aura-
bored according to the town
Where the road terminates.
Large boards with the approp-
riate ecilinirs and numbers at
the entrances to towns will in-
form motorists which colour to
follow t6 get through the town
quickly.

Cut Flowers in Special Place
For bouquets for our own table
and for giving to friends, gar-
den authorities urge a special
row or two of flowers in the veg7
etable garden. Given regular
cultivation these will grow vig-
orously and the blooms can be
cut often without marring the
beauty of the regular flower
garden. Almost all fair sized
flowers will do well nnder these
conditions, and some like gladi-
olus and sweet peas are best *
grown here in any case as their
foliage is not particularly attrac-
tive. It's a good plan to save
a little seed in each packet from
the regular planting and sow in
one or two long rows in the veg-
etable garden or along the edges.
From this row there will be
plenty of bloom for bouquets.
Building Good Soil,
Ideal garden soil is a rich,
well drained loam which never
bakes or cakes, holds moisture
well but its not muddy. Unfortu-
nately few of us are lucky enough
to find that right at the door;
But so long as We have not pure
rock, it is amazing what one can
do, The best medicine for any
soil, light or heavy, is a liberal
application of old fashioned
barnyard manure But niainire

ern days and it is liable to be
filled with weed seeds. And so

young King Itehoboam cer-
tainly didn't have the humble
spirit of his father Solomon when
he ascended the throne. Ile made
his first great mistake when he
rejected the advice of the older
and experienced counsellors who
Said, "If thou be kind to this
people, and please them, and
speak good words to them, they
will be thy servants forever."
But the young men flattered the
ego of Rehoboam. They urged
him to declare his authority in a
threatening 'attitude, As a result
lo tribes broke away and set up
a separate kingdom under Jero-
beam.
We are fold that the way to
win friends and influence people
is to tell them the things they
*like to hear. It is more impor-
tant to tell people what, they
ought to hear, It is only thus that
we really prove ourselves .a
friend.
Modern leaders never make
the mistake of Rehoboain --
especially just before election
day. They speak good words.
Some carry this too far. Promisee
of lower taxes and more services
to the people are the order 'of the
day. Some would-be leaders
carry this so far that we are led ,
to believe that either they are
grossly ignorant Of the economy
of the country or they are simply
using the promises to get votes.
But people are wary. The man
who promises too much is heave
ily discounted. Let us pray for
our leaders!

had been predicted some years
before. It happened now but not
in order to fulfill the prediction.
Because God understood perfect-
ly the character Of Rehdboant
and foreknew exactly what he
would say, and !the results that
would follow, he could make
this prediction through his pro-
phet. Rehoboani was a free
moral agent and was following
the desires of his own vain heart
in his conduct. The fulfillment of
prophecy' is another evidence
that the Bible is the inspired
word of God.
