This view is expressed in a booklet entitled "Peat Moss or Sphag- num Moss; Its Uses in Agriculture, in Industry, and in the Home", pre- pared by ZT A. Leverin and issued by the Mines and Geology Branch, Ot- tawa. Canadian consumption of the product, it states, is as yet relatively small and the headway is chiefly the result of the demand in the United States. It is possible that this demand will decline in the past war years and if so, the decline' could be largely off- set by a marked increase in the present use of peat Moss in Canada, which has extensive deposits of high-grade ma- terial, Included in the pamphlet is a list of Canadian producers. Peat moss has been widely used and with satisfactory results in Europe for many years and owes its usefulness to its high absorptive capacity for liquids and gases; resistance to decom- position; low conductivity of heat; elasticity; and its deodorizing quality. Its chief uses at present in -Canada and the Uhited States are in horticulture and market gardens, mainly as a soil conditioner, as a filler for commercial fertilizers, and for packing bulbs, tubers, and roots for winter storage. A very extensive use in the United States is as a litter in poultry raising. In industry, it is used mainly in arti- ficial fertilizers; in the preparation of various stock foods; as an insulator in the building trade; and as a packing material. In the home, it serves as an excellent agent for packing and storing foods. Copies of the pamphlet may be ob- tained free of charge from the Secre- tary, Bureau of Mines, Mines and Geology Branch, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. *"I say, has yOur wife been fighting?"
