The total benefits awarded in July amounted to $716,649.28, to which $592,615.36 was for compensation to injured workers or their depend- ants and $124,033.92 for medical aid. In July, 1928,.the total benefits awarded amounted to $513,600.48. R. B. Morley, general manager, Industrial Accident Prevention As- sociation, speaking of these figures, says that many of the reports to the Compensation Board relate to minor CAN injuries which in former years, were considered only as first aid cases. The records of the Compensation Board show that forty-nine percent. of allowed claims involve payment for medical aid only. The increase in benefits, however, appear to in- clude some severity and Mr. Morley states that it is evident industry generally must give more attention to safety work. The records of the Industrial Accident Prevention As- sociations show that many of the larger films employing from 250 up are giving close attention to acci- dent prevention and axe getting re- sults that are satisfactory both to executives and workers. According to Mr. Morley, attributing accidents to the carelessness of workers is no longer accepted as a good excuse because the so-called "carelessness" of employees is simply an admission of lax supervision in the plant.

POST Diseased Tubers Should be Removed from Potatoes Experimental work perforated by the Division of Botany of the Exper- imental farms demonstrates that tubers from potato plants affected with such diseases as late blight and blackleg, as well as those with par- ticles of soil adhering to them, car- ry germs capable of producing de• structive rots in the tubers themsel- ves and in others which they come in contact with while in storage, The full significance of this method of plant disease spread is unfortunate- ly not always appreciated by the grown until serious losses brought about in this way are experienced. When, however, such losses are real- ezed, it immediately becomes appar- ent that one very important means of controlling this trouble is the re' moval of all diseased tubers, and in- fected soil before the potatoes arc placed in storage in storage house. It is not always an easy matter to detect diseased tubers during pick- ing operations for particles of soil and other debris frequently mask the diseased parts. With the use of a good rack and the exercise of rea- sonable care, however, the average worker should be able to remove nearly all the undesirable tubers and considerable amount of contamin- ated soil from the potatoes as they pass over the rack. All tubers show- ing evidence of disease, such as wa. ter soaked areas, spots, soft and dry rot should be removed because they almost invariably decompose and xot other tubers coming in contact with them. Tubers showing severe mechanism injury, frosting, large cracks or blemishes should also be re- moved because they are more sus- ceptible to rotting than undamaged tubers. In addition, any tubers showing an elongated cylindrical ap- pearance with numerous shallow eyes and pointed at the seed end should be discarded because such tubers are indicative of a serious running out disease called spindle tuber. This disease is carried over from session to session In the tuber and is capable of rendering a strain of potatoes unproductive in two or three seasons. Owing to the very infectious nature of the virus casing the disease which is borne in the tu- bers it is advisable to prevent these corning in contact with healthy po- tatoes in order to preclude spread of the disease in this way. These re- commendations apply chiefly to the Maritime Provinces and Quebec, but should also find application where- ever it is necessary to retain potat- oes in storage for prolonged per- iods Futcher information on this sub• ject can be obtained from p••v of the Dominion Plant Pathological Labor- atories located at Fredericton, N.

A TIMOROUS OR EATi7RE. South .African Baboon Meet.s With Many Perils at Night i At night the South African baboon I is a timorous creature, and as its sight in the dusk is tar inferior to that of the leopard, the latter some- times steals up to where the troop is sleeping, makes its pounce, and es- capes with a shrieking victim. But the leopard does not Invariably have the best of It. There are several well -authenticated instances of such a night -marauder being surrounded and torn to pieces. Another enemy much dreaded by baboons Inhabiting the warmer localities is the rock - python. But there are instances of even the python being deairoyed by the combined fury of a troop. All snakes, whether poisonous 01 not, are equally feared by baboons, This is somewhat strange in view of the circumstances that the latter can at once distinguish between berries that are wholesome and those that are poisonous, even though they may never have seen them before. The hies of a snake will reduce the most enraged baboon to a state 01 abject terror, and a dead snake plac- ed in the vicinity of one will drive it almost distracted.

Ac- cording acording to Alexander Sodergron, the new secretary of this association, the winter roads in Noorland, whicb is looked upon as an Arctic region, are In perfect condition for automobiles, One may now drive an automobile over the en*re country the whole winter through without any trouble. Ten years ago, It often happened that long stretches of road were impass- able for a whole day et a time. These snow-covered roads are now easily kept open all the winter with tbe as- sistance of motor -driven snow- ploughs, and the walls of snow on either side of the road are promptly removed to prevent the snow falling back into the road or melting into streams of water, thereby injuring the road. wt e1' Pr th lir *BIBLE THOUGHTS For This Week n_ Blbto Thought'. ,nomori,,d, will prOVO pncalcaa horItago 1t '.Iter Yarn, SUNDAY, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
