After four years the check
plots (untouched) averaged a
gross return of $77.79 per acre.
Gross return on the plots that
were fertilized only was $114.45
per acre and on the plowed up,
fertilizezd and re-seeded plots
'the return was $150.92 per acre.

That the carrying capacity of

British Strike fine moist soil. Watering dur-
ing and immediately after trans-
planting is essential, unless the
soil is very moist and also if
possible supply a little shade
for the first few hours for a day
or two. With big things like
trees and shrubbery, it is also
advisable to tie trunks or main
stern firmly to a stake to pre-
vent the wind loosening. Inhere
are only a few things to move,
one should do the job in the
evening and preferably when
there is no wind, Above all it
is most important to cover the
-roots well and keep the soil
firmly pressed- around them. To
speed growth and lessen the
shock of moving it is a good
plan, to sprinkle a little chemi-
cal fertilizer around but not
actually touching the roots.
Take It Easy
There is a nice thing, about
gardening in most parts of 'Can-
ada. One doesn't have to rush.
Because of the long hours of
sunshine, growth is rapid, and
even if we have not got really
started yet, there is still- plenty
of time for most flowers and
vegetables. As a matter of fact,
there is far more risk of failure
with too early planting than too
late.
Almost everywhere in Can-
ada, it is possible to have an ex-
cellent garden even if we are
enable to get a spade into the
ground until well on in May..
And there are lots of quick
growing things which will make
abundant bloom or fine meals,.
for the table even if planted in
June. The experts, incidental-
ly, always warn the beginner to
take it easy, to prepare the soil
well, and wait until the spring
weather has really arrived. Of
course one should get nursery
stock and some of the hardier
sorts of flowers and vegetables
planted as soon as possible, but
the. main sowings are 'best post-
poned until around thie time or
even later,
Spreading the plantings, too,
over a fairly long period, right
up to early July in the warmer
parts of Canada, is always ad-
visable. In this way the harvest
of flowers and vegetables is
spread out too.

Average weight gain per acre
on check plcits was 80,3 pounds,
on fertilized plots 114.2 pounds
and on re-seeded and fertilized

SWEETHEART SOFT SOAP
Of course it might require
half a day to load the holes
along the course the ditch is to
take, but the actual "digging"
is done in the flash of time it
requires for the dynamite to
explode.
Blasted ditches may be any
length and may vary from two
and one-half feet to 12 feet
deep and from four feet to 40
feet wide at the top, The soli
where eitches are blasted should
contain a high percentage of
water for satisfactory results, '
• * *
Two distinct methods of
blasting ditches are described
by experts of C-I-L's explosives
division. These are the propaga-
tion method which can be used
in wet soils only. The electric
method is intended for ground
that is too dry or too hard for
the successful use of the pro-
pagation method. It can be em-
ployed in almost any 'type of
soil except dry sand in which
it is practically impossible to
blast ditches. • * *
The propagation method is
generally the quickest and most
economical on wet soils and
swamps, In this method only
one hole is primed and the con-
cussion from the explosion of
the dynamite in this charge de-
tonates the adjoining charge
and so on down the whole line
of charges. The priming may
be done with either an electric
blasting cap or a blasting cap
and fuse. • *
In the electric method an
electric blasting cap ma st be
inserted in every charge. These
caps are hooked up in 'series
and exploded simultaneOusly by
means of a blasting inephine.
Britain is keenly embarrassed
about its "who drills the holes"
shipyard strike at Girkenhead.
It is not just dismay that an
American purchaser of British
ships, William White of New
York, president of the Pen-Ore
Steamship Company, is publicly
incensed at the delay to one of
his vessels by this "screwy"
stoppage. -
Nor is it alone the implied
threat that the Cammell Laird
Shipyard — and perhaps other
British builders — will get no
snore of Mr. White's .orders.
It is most of all the apprehen-
sion that such an incident, re-
ported around the world, will
backfire against British ship-
building in general. And British
shipbuilders feel they already
are under great pressure from
the inroads of German and
Japanese competitors.
Bemoaned here is the threat-
ened loss of dollars from future.

What understandably exasper-

an ore man — and his new ore

last November is still held up

Some seventeen hundred
years ago Tertullian said, "Th.,
blood of the martyrs is the seed,:
of the church," This has often
been proven true. The fear Or
death does not daunt the true
disciples of the Lord. The:
martyrdom, of the Aye young
missionaries in EcuadOr last
January has led to hundreds Of
young people dedicating them,
selves to go anywhere taking
the gospel. After the death of
Stephen there was great perse-
cution against the church at.
Jerusalem, What was the re-
suit? "They 'were all scattered
abroad, throughout the regions
of Judea and Samaria, except
the apostles, They that were
scatttered abroad 'went every-
where preaching the word."
One of the most significant
statements in the lesson is, "The
witnesses laid down their clothes
at a young man's feet, whose
name was Saul, Saul could net
help being impresed 'by the ae-
titude of Stephen. His face was
as the fact of an angel. As the
stones were striking him • he
called on God saying, "Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit." And
he kneeled down, and cried
with a loud voice. "Lord, lay
not this sin to their charge."
And when he had said this, he
fell asleep.
Saul continued the persecu-
tion with greater vigor. He was
kicking against the pricks. Soon
he was confronted by Jesus
himself as he journeyed tO
Damascus. There Saul surren-
dered and soon became the..
greatest of the apostles.
It is a great trial for the loved
ones of those who die a mar-
tyr's death, But we must re-
member that God moves in a
mysterious way, His wenders to
perform. More was accomplish-
ed through the death of Steph-
en for the kingdom of God than
could have been accomplished
by his living many more years,
God knows all things and he is
all-wise. He is too wise to err
and to good to be unkind. Let
us always trust Him.

Piping water to convenient
locations has long been a prob-
lem on the farm. Conventional
metal, piping presented special
problems. Due to its weight it
Was difficult to handle. Instal-
lation of joints and couplings
was time consuming. 'Corrosion
by water and soil chemicals de-
creased its life and efficiency.
A sudden dip in temperature
below ''freezirig often resulted
in bursting of undrained pipe.

With 'the 'introduction of poly-
thene piping .(polythene is a
plastic ,neade from Alberta na-
tural gas), a trouble-free, inex-
pensive and easily installed cold
water system has been made
possible foe the Canadian farm-
er. The Plastic is so light a
farm boy can carry several hun-
dred feet of piping on his shoul-
der, It expands with freezing
and returns to normal when the
water thaws. It will remain in
the soil indefinitely without de-
terioration. The only tools re-
quired for installation are a
knife to cut the piping and a
screw driver to tighten the con-
necting clamps. The piping can
be laid down in a plowed fur-
row for warm weather use or
in a trench below the frost line
for year-round use.

Captain Villiers said he took
a galleon--a buggalow, as they
call them there—from Colombo,
Ceylon, to the Maldives( Tile-
dummati, Male, Suvadiva, Mile-
durnmadbu, IVIaloernadulti, and

May in The Christian Science

"It's tough," he said. "And
Maldivian sailers are tough.
They eat what's there and sleep

We asked him whet it would
be like in 'Mayflower II. He
said, "It will be grim." We
thought he said it with a certain
relish.
"That's why I'm not keen on
women on this trip," he said,
"They used to sail with women
in those days. But those women
were disciplined. If we do have
women they will have to be
women amenable to discipline
and control."
We asked if it were not true
that Mrs, Villiers intended to
sail with Mayflower II. Cap-
tain Villiers said it is, but he
is not yet sure about it. He said
his above remarks still went, He
smiled as he said it,
Warwick Charlton, originator
of the project, chimed in to say
that about 1,000 Britons have
applied officially to join the
crew. He said Captain Villiers
w ould personally interview
each one.
Mr. Charlton said the appli-
cations include Royal Marines,
a viscount who is a descendant
of Henry VIII and related to
George. Washington, a Bristol
housewife Who wants to be the
cook, a nine-year-old school-
girl who has written, "If you
need any children, my school
friends and I would like to be
the new Pilgrims," and many
of Captain Villiers' former ship-
mates.
We asked if it was not a pret-
ty hazardous venture sailing a
ship of a kind that has not been
sailed (by Britons) for 300 years
with a largely unskilled crew.
"There will be hazards," Cap-
tain Villiers said, enthusiastic-
ally. "But it has always worked
with a nucleus dt hands. I
sailed the Pequod for the 1710-
Viet, a horrid ship that turned
out could hardly be sailed at
all, with a crew of stewards
and stuntmen. We shall have a
good nucleus of square-sail
sailors aboard the Mayflower.
We won't have any trouble,"
We asked when they could
sail, Captain Villiers said as
soon as they are ready; "there's
no point in hanging about." Mr,
Upham said Mayflower H will
be ,launched in June or July.
Captain Villiers said maybe
they will sail in September. Mr.
Chariton said the Plimoth Plan-
tation in America is anxious to
get the maximum impact and
has queried whether the May-
flower should not wait until
after the presidential elections.
here was some discussion of this
point.
An American newspaper col-
league said, "Sail her when you
are ready. It will be a story
that cannot be hidden." There
seemed to be general agree-
ment.
The bench jockeying in the
1929 World Series was unduly
loud and vicious — so much so
that Judge Landis had to step
in and order it stopped. Just
before the start of the next
game, -Mickey Cochrane, tough
Athletics' catcher, shouted to
the Cubs, "Come on, sweethearts,
let's go. Tea and cake will be
served in the fourth inning."
After the A's took the Series,
Landis visited their clubhouse
to congratulate them., He spoks
a few gracious words, then
turned to Cochrane •and said,
"That goes for you, too, sweet-
heart,"
