For ma,dum yields, this crop requires a plentiful supply of available plant food especially in the early stage' of growth. It is particularly responsive to applications of nitrogen and pot• ash. Commercial fertilizers may be used to advantage for the mange? crop since they furnish plant food in' a form which may be quickly taken up by the plants and thus aid them ' obtaining a vigorous early start. The presence of readily available pia .t food enables the mangel plant to es- tablish it:elt intime per- iods of drought and the effect of ad- verse seasonal conditions which may, occur during the later stages of growth. • As with most other crops, com- mercial fertilizer's usually give the most ,irofitable results on mangels if rred in conjunction with barnyard manure, although under favourable soil and season conditions their em- ities will often give excellent results. For example, the following yields Iro•r example, the following yields were obtained in an experiment con- ducted by the Field Husbandry Div- ision in co-operation with the Division of Chemistry at the Central Farm, Ottawa over a period of 15 years.

BENEFITS PAID IN FEBRUARY The total benefits awarded in Feb- ruary by the Workmen's Compensa- tion Board were $626,148.48 which included $102,002.06 for medical aid. These figures are lower than in January when the total benefits were $673,770,22 including $106,- 399.62 106;399.62 for medical aiu. During February there were 6,640 accidents reported to the Board in- cluding 49 fatal cases. Both of these items are higher than for January when there were 0,188 accidents re- ported including 37, fatalities. Speaking of these figures,,, R. B. Morley, general manager, Industrial Accident Prevention Associations calls attention to the, need for more personal care, He points out that a high percentage of accidents can be prevented by, proper instruction of the individual in safe methods of working. As it is also fairly evident, from the data collected, that safety and efficiency go hand in hand, the Associations look for an increased in tercet in the whole problem. Mr. Morley states that an increasing number of plants in the membership of the Association.; are operating for long periods without lost time asci- dents.

RESERVES — MUCH 'ENGIN- EERiNG AND CONSTRUCTION WORK CARRIED ON IN CAN- ADA'S NATIONAL PARKS IN 1928, In Canada's 11,000 square miles of national parks steady progress is being made in opening up a new and outstanding points of scenic beauty to the motorists and tourist. Engin- eering and construction work carried on during 1928 by the National Parke 13ranch of the Department of the In- terior greatly increased the facilities for the comfort and enjoyment of visitors, and preparations for the coming season's tourists flow are now well advanced. The motor roads in the national playgrounds in the Western provinces were extended during last tyear and considerable maintenance and improvement work carried out so that they are now slightly over 400 miles of first class highways in the prks. In addition the mileage of tote or secondary roads has been increased to a figure close to 100, newidin have r g trails 4 been laid out and completed, the in- stallation of a new sewage system in Jasper townsite, was begun and considerable other improvement and maintenance work of lesser import- ance was carried on. From the highway standpoint, the largest work undertaken during 1928 was the construction of a new trunk road in Prince Albert national park in Saskatchewan. This road extends from the southern boundary of the park, which is thirty-five miles north of Prince Albert, to the centre of park activities at Waa - esiuLake, and is approximately 34 miles long. Grading was completed by the end of October and the bridges were in place in January of this year. It will be officially opened to traffic during the corning sum- mer. In Banff park, Alberta, a new public motor campsite at Tunnel mountain. This road is three-quar- ters of a mile long and of a standard width. A considerable extension was made to the Akamina Paas road in Waterton Lakes park, which will eventually connect Alberta and the park with the Flathead River valley in British Columbia and Glacier park in the United States, Through the co-operation of the town of Wain- wright, t he adjacent municipalities, and the National Parks Branch, a new road was constructed from the town to the entrance of the main paddock in Buffalo national ,park• In Jasper and Yoho parks consider- able maintenance work was done on highways and trails while the Mount Revelstoke motor road was extended to the look out point at the summit, this being the final objective. This road, starting from the town of Rev- elstroke at an elevation of 1,492 feet, reaches an altitude of 6,215 feet in a total length of 1881 miles. In Elk Island park some much needed road construction was undertaken, a stan- dard road being built from the north gate of the park on Sandy beach. The latter place is a very popular bathing and picnic resort. A number of new bridges were erected along the main highways, while_ others were improved to meet the steadily growing motor traffic, In Ja.-par park an 89 -foot single span bridge was built over the Miette river on the Edith Cavell motor road and in Yoho park a bridge was eon- etructed over the Ottertail river on the Field -Golden road, This latter has an 80 -foot epan and clear width for vehicles of 17 feet 3inehes. The decks of three important bridges in the Kickinghorse canyon were ex- tended to the standard width. Considerable other important work teas carried on in the national parks in the weet, A start was made in Jas- per townsitc', Jasper national park, on a new system, about one mile of fifteen—inch pipe being laid during the ,aa on:In Kootenay park, C'r'ap k Columbia, a new bath -house was completed at the Radium Hot Springs ninety utiles west of Banff. The swimming pool was extended thirty feet and deepened to give a standard size of pool. One new hot spring was discovered when foundation excav- ation was under way. Provision was made in the lower concrete wall of the pool for an outlet to supply a mall hydro -electric plant to serve departmental needs. The plant will. utilize the hot spring water running from the pool, thus doing away with ice troubles in the winter months. Maintenance and extension work was carried on in Banff, Waterton Lakes, Yoke, Glaeier, Buffalo, and Elk Is- land parks.

AFTER LONG SERVICE Lieut. -Col, T. G. Loggie, I.S.O„ who retired from the posi- tion of Deputy Minister of Lands and Mines In 1925 after 54 years in the New Brunswick Govern- ment overnment service, had his long public service recognized in the 68th an- nual report of the Department of Lands and Mines, which was tabled in the Legislature last week. In the eastern national park areas a large amount of work was done in connection with development and im- provements. Two wharves to accom- modate ferries were constructed at Broder and Cedar islands in the St. Lawrence Islands parks, Complete re- pairs were made aShoal artello to the m tower in Kingston harbour. Extensive restoration work was carried on at Fort Chambly, Quebec, and other maintenance work done at Fort Howe and Fort Beausejour in New Bruns- wick. HARDINESS OF RED CL VER Red Clover, undoubtedly one of the best hay crops particularly for t e the dairy farmer and the sheep p rais- er, varies greatly in hardiness .ac- cording to the climate in which the seed is produced. At a conference in Denmark a few years ago experi- mental evidence was produced which proved that red clover seed from southern climates were undesirable in Northern Europe due to lack of winter hardiness. As a consequence the countries concerned restricted the importation of southern grown clover seed. To secure light in this subject for Canada, the Experimen- tal Farms Branch of the Department of Agriculturue at Ottawa has for five years been testing side by side seed secured from different countries. The 'plants were grown under control in rows at different distances apart and the following spring a record was made of the living plants re- maining. Commencing with , seed from five sources in 1923, the num- ber has been increased from year to year until in -1927 seed from twenty- five sources was grown. Of these Canadian grown seed suffered the least amounting to an average of 12.81 per cent covering the five years. Plants from •Sweddisli seed came next in hardiness with a loos of 20.08 per cent, followed by the Unit- ed States with 20,75 and Czecho- Slovakia with 21.25, with losses` in- creasing up to even one hundred per cent with seed produced in Australia. Some. yams ago Italian seed was come mostly imported in this country. In these tests 58.52 per cent of the plants suffered by winter killing. The hardiness test was conducted by the. Forage Plants Division of the Experimental Farms and is fully dealt with in the report of that Div- ision for 1927, published by the De- partmcant. In this it is shown that French Red Clover seed winter kil- led to the extent of 45.03 per cent. Seed from Great Britain went down to the extent of a little more than 36 per cent. On the whole it is shown thsrtl Cnradian seed produced much the hest results. The Department of Agriculture re- cognized the nonhardines- of southern grown seed have enacted legislation ender The Seed Act whereby all It- alian seed or seed of other southern origin must contain a percentage of Seal stained red, Seed from other parts of Europe must contain a per- centage stained green, that from the United States, navy blue while Can- adian seed goes on the market un- stained.
