While blasting caps are very
sseful accessories in the detona-
:ion of high explosives used in
construction, mining and quar-
tying, they can kill or maim if
:hey fall into improper hands.
* *
Spring and summer are the
amp periods of the year, when
olatting cap danger is most
acute. Construction work is in
toll swing in both urban and
rural communities and children
sravitate to such activity to
watch, play and often meddle,
.Blasting caps which may be left
sround by careless workers are
picked up or pilfered from con-
Aruction shacks. Results ap-
pear in newspaper headlines:
blindness, fingers torn off, death,

According to authorities of
the explosives division of Cana-
dian Industries Limited, 1 blast-
ing cap accidents are sometimes
caused' by striking a cap with
a stone or hammer. Others
have resulted from holding a
lighted match to a. cap or throw-
ing it into a bonfire. Picking at
the sensitive explosives in a
cap with a pin or nail may also
cause it to explode. *
If blasting caps are found by
children, the experts warn, they
should not be touched but im-
mediately reported to their
parents, teacher, police or con-
struction crews. Pending the
arrival of soemone in author-
ity who can dispose of them,
they should be placed in a safe
place away from heat and out
of the reach of children.
There are two main types of
blasting cap: those for use with
safety fuse, and those set off
electrically. About 1% inches
long, and 'made of aluminum,
the type for use with safety fuse
has an open end and is deton-
ated by the spit of flame from
the safety. fuse. Electric blasting:
;caps have two wires covered
with colored insulation extend-
ing rout of one end so they can
be fired by an electric current,

fertilizer to it can induce plant
roots to descend, filether down,

er is applied in a vertical band

tion,
The Purdue agronomists point
cut that in years of unfaverable
rainfall, the soil snoistine is not
sutflcient to giale maximum
yields, The roots of crops often
do not pentrate deeply enough
to make- use of reserves of soil
moisture stored there, They at-
tribute thin condition to. dense
subsoils -very low in available
nutrients,

When fertilizer is placed in
the subsoil, .roots of the plants
will concentrate in the grooves
that are thus formed and will
help maintain;,, aggregateS :in
the subsoil. " Subsoil" that has
been loosened but not fertilized
will frequently; wash• together
and the loosenes§ will be lost
within less than a year, the ex=
perimenta indicated.
*xt *
Another advantage shown up
by the -tests, is. that water ac-
cumulates in the suboil because
of, the open grooves, while in
unloosen,ed soil much more
rain water runs off superficially
and it lost to the plant in the
coming season, Furthermore,
since loosening of the soil and
application of fertilizer was fol-
lowed by an increased growth
in the roots, benefits of subsoil
fertilization increases` from year
to year as the subsoil is im-
proved both physiaally and
chemically. • * *
While silos have been a fa-
Millar landmark on the. Cana-
dian farm scene for many years,
little progress had been made
in reducing loss of silage, par-
ticularly by spoilage.
Recently, a new chemical pre-
servative, sodium rnetabisul-
phite, has been introduced
which is showing great efficien-
cy in converting crop isnto milk
arid Meat via silage. Not only
does this chemical help in pre-
venting burning up of nutrients
in the forage, but also renders
the silage more palatable which
makes the cattle eat more and
thus increases milk and meat
production. The unpleasant odor
usually associated with silage
is also reduced.
Another Current advance in
„ Ise 'the- introduction of
silos made of polythene plastic
sheeting. These are capable , of
bravidi:rig a qUality silage
for feeding in ;relatively small ,
qiiantities, up, to 15 .-tons. They
can be used at off-season times
• and inet zt-of-way place's where
feeding of separate &blips of
animals May be desired. "
The'greatest-beriefit in using
polythene sheet silos is gained
from their gas-tight character-
: istic. Quick sealing after filling
permits the rapid establiahment
and maintenance' Of anaerobic

These 'in turn prevent' ,mold

Our Sett-Known
Sportscaster
About the only nationally-
knowe Canadian sportscaster ,
easily equal to. top-notch
mike-men Mel Allen, Bill Stern
or Tom Harmon - is Toronto's
Foster Hewitt. ;'Undoubtedly the
dean of. Canadian sportscastets,
Hewitt has been in radio 33
years, possibly longer than any-
one. He has broadcast descrip-
tions of ,over 3,000 hockey genies.
Hewitt, who left. alpiveraity*of
TOronto to join the Toronto Star,
was the first, in the world to
broadcast a hockey game. That
was in March, 1923, for the Star's
CFCA..
Hewitt's verb al trademarks,
"Hello, Canada . . ." and "He
shoots, he scores!" became fam-
ous via CBC radio, TV and sev-
eral private stations,. including
Hewitt's CKFH in Toronto. They
also became titles of two of Hew-
itt's five hooks-

6ctraork,Sitiith,
give' Them Room
If 'every seed that sprouted
were allowed to grow, his world
would soon become a jungle and
our gardens an awful mess. Al-
most everything needs •thinning
and will do much better with
plenty of room. Overcrowded
plants get spindly•and weak, an
easy prey for insects and• di-
sease or even a' heavy rain.
In almost every case where
plants are started'from seed and
, especially tiny seed, like lettuce
or alyssum or poppies, they
must be thinned later. In doing
' this naturally we pull out the
Poorer specimens first but in-
any case we must leave plenty
of room for full development. If
we are afraid of later damage
from bugs or cutworms perhaps
we will leave twice as many
plants as at first, then later on
we remove every other onee In
certain vegetables like beets
and carrots, too, we leave the
plants about an inch or so apart
at' first, then use further thin-
pings' for our first meals. When
thinned properly, the plants left
will grow more quickly, more
sturdily and should be healthier.
Thinning is not always con-
fined• to seedlings, The extra big
and fine blooms you usually see
in the flower shows are often
the result of thinning. Only in
this case it will be the flower
buds that are removed, Instead
of letting every single rose,
peony, or dahlia -develop, the
professionals nip off about fifty
per cent or more of the buds so
that -those that are left will' 'be
finer and bigger. The same thing
is done with fruit like appies,
plums and peaches for big priine
results.
Transplanting
Almost any silent can be silt-
cessfuliy moved or transplants
ed when young. There are two
major points to keep ill mind.
We must not allow the roots to
dry out and we shouldn't ex-
pose them to air. Planting ma-
terial from a good seedhonse
nursery, one will notice, has' the
roots well Wrapped in thorough-
ly damp moss, and to make sure
air is excluded and moisture re-
taine, there is as well an Carter
wrapping of damp-Proof paper or
burlap. To make sure those con-
ditions are centinu,ed after
plantings, one ,presses fine soil
firmlY about the roots and
keeps well watered until growth
gets started. With bedding plants
or annuals that will only mean
a few days, with trees and
shrubs it may be several weeks.
Shrubs, trees and vines
should be transplanted before
they come out in leaf and the
best nursery stock of these
things will never be farther ad-
vanced than the 'bud stage. An.
nual plants, of course, are in
leaf when we transplant but
they should not be too far
grown. Short stocky plants with
no flower buds are much to
lie preferred to plants on the
point of blooming. Indeed if
there is aziy la lo csm on such
things as 'zinnias, petunias or
marigolds it should be removed
before we transplant. If there
are only a -few things to move,
one should do the job in the
evening and preferably when
there is no w in d, otherwise
shade from sun for a day or
two. To speed growth and les-
sen the shock of. moving, at- is
a good plan to sprinkle a lit-
tle chemical fertiIiier atound
hist not actually tenching. the
An Ounce of Prevention
It is unfortunate but it is true
that for almost every useful plant
we have in Canada there is some
bug, disease, or • Worm which
seems to have a special grudge
against it. But a little protec-
tion provided in time will save
them.
• Generally speaking, the very
best protection, against all these
pests is flourishing health. If
• the garden is free of weeds,
well cultivated and growing,
there is little risk except from
some special insect or disease.
But if there are a lot of weeds,
if our flowers or vegetable
plants ate Crowded together and.
.growth apindly and weak, then
we are simply asking for
trouble, and even a mild attack
from passing bugs can cause a
lot of trouble. The first rule,
then, in protection is to keep
the garden clean and growing,

French as well as English, I can
recall no more deadly onslaught
than Muggeridge's article in The
New Statesman. It is the talk of
London. After referring to the
"utter nothingness of what Eden
has to say", he continnes:
"Eden is a Disraeli hero who

the blood of the martyrs is the
seed of the church. After the
stoning there was a great per-
seCatiOn which scattered the fol-
lowers of Ihe Christ who had
died, risen again arid ascended
into heaven. But as they went
they preached the gospel to the
Jews. Then some from Cyprus
and Cyrene came to the city
of Antioch and preached the
Lord Je$L1A to the Greeks. Many
believed and turned to the Lord.
When the good news came tor
Jerusalem the church sent Barn-
abas, a native of Cyprus, to Anti-
och. "He was a go6d man, and
full of the Holy Most and 'of
faith." What a tribute to re-
ceive! Soon Barnabas went to
Tarsus and sought Put Saul to
come and help him in the work,
They labored together in Anti-
och for a year. Those who turn-
ed to the Lord were nicknamed -
Christians. It was very appropri-
ate. They were living for Christ
and striving to live likes-him.
The name is applied more loose-
ly now. Nearly all, the s peoPle
are Christian according ,to the
census. But not an these are -

Barnabas befriended him at
Xerusalem when the apostles
and other disciples were afraid
of him. He also introduced him
