GREEN mina Gores sma UPPER LEFT — Hitler (Albin Skoda) pounds the map table vehemently as he portrays the German dictator in a typical "rug-chewing" rage in the final phases of the disastrous war -- and his life. Scene takes place in a replica of Hitler's under- ground bunker in Berlin, built outside their Berlin bunker. Actual photos of the real Hitler and Eva are startlingly similar to this scene from the movie. UPPER RIGHT—Light moment in the grim film finds Hitler and Eva Braun (Lott& Tobisch) playing with their favorite Ger- man shepherd dog, "Biondi," outside their Berlin bunker, cause damage to some valuable plants. 17, Dispose of empty contain-. era so they nese no hazard to humans, animals,, or valuable plants. * * * M a y pesticide companies have extensive programs for co- operating with interested groups in the safe use of agricultural chemicals. However, officials of the plant Prodnets. Division, De, partment of Agriculture, Otta- wa, point put that for the most part, the essential information is on the label. All farmers and agricultural leaders have a great opportunity to help establish 1955 as a year which sets new records in safe use, Harmful ingredients in feeds are rarely the cause of serious declining performance or mor- tality in poultry flocks, states C. R. Phillips of the Plant Pro- ducts Division of the Federal Department of Agriculture, When losses occur, a few affect- ed birds should be submitted to a poultry pathologist for labora- tory examination, because the cause of death in nearly all cases is disease. It is recognized that poultry diets are sometimes deficient in vitamins and minerals, which may affect the health, of the birds. /Such health changes, how- ever, do not occur overnight, and an observant poultryman will notice these changes before they reach serious proportions. A change of feed when an out- break of disease has arisen in the flock, has often been credit- ed for. the control. Actually tl-e disease has run its course as it would have done on the original feed and valuable time is lost when corrective action probably could have been taken had a poultry specialist been notified.

Back Home After Four Centuries ' A vow taken by the black- smithi of Chittor (Mewar-Rajas- than), in north-west India, four centuries ago will be fulfilled about the end of March, -1955, when their descendants make a triumphal march into Chittor „port. The ancestors of the present- day nomadic tribe, Cadulya Lo- liars, left Chittor Fort in a -body in the 16th century. when it fell eto the Moghul forces They took a vow that they would not re- turn to the fort until it was liberated. The Lohars made arms for Rana Pratap, who took a vow to eschew all uuxuries until the fort was liberated of Moghul in- vaders. ' But Rana Pratap fell in the battle. Since then the. Lohars have been à` wandering 'tribe, earning their livelihood by Mak- ing household wares and agri- cultural implements , as they move from place to place. Social workers have now per- suaded these artisans - that their mission has been fulfilled. as Chittor has now been fully liber- ated with the attainment of in- dependence by India. - 'They will be settled on land set aside for them, and encour- aged to take up handicrafts and light industry. A good deal of attention is being focused. on the hazards. ittending the use of agricultural :liernicala, especially pesticides.. get the least of th.e efforts for rate use is made, by industry in letermining the potential danger .4 the ehemicals sold, and in putting practical precautions ind directions on the labels, that followed, practically eliminate ;he possibility of harmful ef, tects. * * The following list of general precautionary measures taken from the National Agricultural Chemical News and Pesticides Review adds emphasis to the , need for careful use of pesti- cides, a group of agricultural chemicals which are an essential component of the farmer's pro- duction ,program. 1. Read the label noting par- ticularly the warnings and cau- tions before opening the con- tainer and before each use, 2. Keep the pesticide out of reach of children, pets, and irre- sponsible persons. In case of ac- cidental poisoning, call a physi- cian or get the patient to a hos- pital at once. 3, Always keep the pest con- trol Materials in original, closed and properly labelled containers. 4, Never give a neighbour or anyone a portion of .a pesticide in an unlabelled container. 5. Store -in =a safe, separate room, cabinet or closet, or- on a high shelf and, where not ex- posed to excess sun or cold. 6. Do not store pest control materials where food or feed stuffs are stored or handled. 7. Observe cautions to mini- mize residues on edible portions of plants,' 8. Wash hands and face after spraying, or dusting. 9. Do not smoke while spray- ing or dusting. 10. Do not spill-.insecticides on the skin or clothing. 11. Wash immediately, and thoroughly to remove such spil- lage, 12. Avoid inhalation of sprays or dusts. 13. Wash clothing each day before ,re-use. 14. When treating around pet or livestock quarters, cover food and Water containers. 15.'Be careful not to con- taminate fish ponds.. 16, In case of hormone weed killers such'as 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T, use separate equipment for ap- plication of these materials.

Some of these new type zinnias make a world, erful show and they come in as enormous range of colour and sizes. We can use small hypes along the front or in smaller' beds and anything up to three feet for larger beds and farther. back, One is advised to get pack- ets of special varieties, The aster is another plant that lends itself to clump planting and here too the range in colour and size' is wide in the new varieties, And of course,, there is the petunia, a natural for solid beds and borders. These and others rang- ing all the way from the inch High alyssum to tall cleomes and cosmos are all suitable; either to plant in solid beds or to arrange together in big clumps. Finer and Better There is nothing the average seed likes better than a bed ot finely worked soil. Of course moisture and fertility will be necessary, too, but it is almost impossible to Over-emphasize the importance of having the soil. fine. Especially is this so when seed to be sown ie, tiny like that or lettuce, carrotp, alyssum or portulaca, If thq seed bed is coarse, and lumpy, it will be impossible to keep out air and either- the seeds will not germin- ate at all or they are liable to produce only weak plants. It will pay well to run rake or cultivator through a few extra tirnes„, Green Manure p ' In fairly large gardens here is a useful trick 'for building up the soil. A bit of the land should be set aside and sown to clover!' oats, buckwheat' or almost any- thing that will grow quickly. In a pinch, we sow nothing at -all but simply let the weeds ger- minate and grow a foot or so high, then these are cut with it scythe or power mower and al- lowed to form a mulch and rot. Better still, we can have them plowed under or dug in where they' will make a compost of their own and help loosen the soil. In addition to adding hum- us, they will also be of consid- erable value as fertilizer. It is best of course to cut or dig in while they are still green and before too many seeds have ma- tured. Often when the first crop of early vegetables have been, taken off, the ground is sewn to one of these special cover crops which choke out bad weeds and form valuable green manure. Still Time Too much emphasis cannot be laid on taking gardening slowly- Nothing is gained and Often con- siderable is lost by rushing in toe much, too soon. In the old, old days everyone would get ehe whole garden, both flower and vegetable, planted on', the first fine day and then, providing it escaped the last frost, there would be a big display of bloom and a feast of vegetables for a week or so in - the summer. And that would be about all. , Ten years have' passed since Adolf.

Tragedy All ballplayers who come to a tragic end aren't screwballs. There was another youngster, a catcher, who paid with his life for an error that he made. Catching for Cincinnati one night under the arcs at the Polo Grounds in New York was the Red's second string catcher, young Willard Herahberger. He was a spindly-legged, nice-look- ing boy, sensitive, high-strung, and`Umbitious to make good in they big leagues. Bucky Walters was pitching for the Reds that night and he came down to the last of the ninth inning with a lead of 4 tO 1 over the Giants. Two Giants quickly went , out. Then there was a walk and a home run, and the Giants trailed by only one run. Walters walked another man and the *inning run came to the plate. The batter took two quick strikes. And then Hersh- berger decided on a bold move. He called for a fast ball down the middle, hoping to catch the hitter unprepared, But the bat-. ter crossed him •up. He swung and the ball sailed over the fence, giving the Giants the victory. The kid had called for the wrong pitch. He stood there, shocked and numb with despair. Manager 1VIcKechnie tried to snap the kid out of his misery, but the error of judgment haunted the boy. A- couple of days later, he failed to show up at the ball park, Someone was Sent to the kid's lidtel. And there, after the door of his room had been broken down, they found the little catcher dead. He had killed himself, artificiality assumed that this was due .to an oversight , and alotted to the heir the proportion thateit .thought was his due. To indicate that he had not overlooked such a person, it be- carhe the 'practite for a man, with such' views about a way- ward son, to leave him the sum of one. shilling. Until comparatively recently it was possible' for a inan to leave his wife and children com- pletely out of his will and leave his estate fotally to a mistress or to some institution or . other- wise. .But the Inheritance Act makes it possible in' such a case for the court to order that suit- able Provision shall be made for the testator's widow and chil- dren, and fixes the amounts they are to receive from the estate. Some testators take delight in ekpresSing their views of some of those whom' they leave be- hind -in curious ways. Perhaps the, strangest of this case of will was that of one Philip Thick- nesse "al the City Of London, merchant." He directed that: "My right hand, to be cut off after death, to my son, Lord Audley; and I edesire that it 'may be- sent. to him in the hopes that such a sight may remind him of his duty to God, after having so long abandoned the duty he owed to a father- who once affec- tionately loved him."
