George Irving Christie Three Decades
Ago Was Student at 0. A. C. ---
Farm Boy from Dundas — Life of
New President of Institution Re-
cvord of Achievements.
Lafayette, Ind.. Aug. 10—When
1)eorge Irving Christie left his pare-
nts' farm in Dundas County, near
Winchester, Ontario, back in 1898 to
enroll as a student in Ontario Agri-
cultural College, little did he dream
that 30 years later he would return as
president of the institution. Fut
that is what will come about when
that same farm boy, now Dr. Christe,
one of North America's foremost
agricultural leaders, returns to Guel-
ph to be inaugurated as chief executi-
ve of the institution from which he
was graduated in 1902. He is to suc-
ceed Dr. Joseph B. Reynolds, preesi-
dent for the past eight years.
The career of Dr. Christie represe-
nts a long line of achievements and
important pieces of work well done,
Starting, back as a boy, his old-time
friends point out that he made the
most of his opportunities, and when
O.A.C. sent a livestock juding team
'co complete at the International Live-
stock Exposition in 1901, he won a
place on that team. After finishing
the four-year course the following
Jue, he went to Ames. Iowa, and cont-
leted the work there for a bachelor
of science degree in agriculture, in
1003.
For two years he served as a me-
mber of the Iowa State College stab
in agronomy, when he accepted a
similar position at Purdue University,
Indiana's land grant college for agri'-
culture and the mechanics arts.
Early he recognized 'chat all the in-
formation on the world was of little
value if kept bottled up in laboratory
or class room, and he started at once
talking the facts gathered at the ex-
periment station 'to the farmer.' of
Indiana.
His first work was with corn. Corn
trains were organized by this young
n
t. ada only
man who had come from Canada
a few years before. The energy he
displayed as a boy at hone on the
farm and later in college was always
evident, and his tireless work result-
ed in a new interest among Indiana
farmers in their principal crop. Im-
provement of the crop was started,
and with Dr. Christie as the motive
force in nearly every piece of work
having to do with corn since that time,
the corn growers of the state have
captured'nearly every national honor
in the states for 20 years. In all that
time, Dr. Christie sah served as secre-
tary of the Indiana Corn Grower.
Association, one of the largest and
most influential farm organizations
in the state.
Enters Other Fields.
Gradually, however, the agricultr-
ural improvement work was extended
to other fields. Other men and some
women, specialists in their lines, were
employed to assist, Dr, Christie. The
organization for extension service to
the farmers of the state is second to
none, so declare autkorities intWash-
ington, who frequently have paid
tribute to the oranization and execu-
tive ability of its director, Dr. Chri-
stie, who has assembled an able staff.
In 1920, when the director of rese-
arch resigned at Purdue University.
Dr. Christie was chosen for this post
in addition to his other duties. With

Your home printer will always gladly submit proofs of all

Just how the Histo had taken the

that the boys may have stumbled
over the lie of the fish and the bob-
bing of the flies may have Irritated
the salmon. Thus it may have de-

alartello Towers In Kingston Relic
of Olden Days.
The disappearance of the root of
the Shoal marteIlo tower in Kingston
harbor, in front of the city buildings
of that place, recalls the history of
the building of the fortifications
about the harbor of the former capi-
tal of Upper Canada, writes G,H.W.,
in the Toronto Globe, This tower
was erected in 1847 at a cost of about
$43,000.
In all, four of the large type of
marteIlo towers were constructed
around the harbor, and all remain
to -day, Three of them have lost their
original roofing, two through cy-
clones. In 1895 the roof of the
Cedar Island tower was blown down
the 6t. Lawrence river, and in 1921
that on the Macdonald Park tower
was carried up Barrie street and
caused the death of a boy returning
from school at the noon hour, The
Cedar Island tower roof was not re-
placed, but that on the park tower
was, as the Kingston Historical So-
ciety uses it as the city's museum.
Tourists hope that the beauty of
the harbor tower will not be lessened
by the type of roof the Department
of National Defence places upon it to
replace the one that fell into decay
for want of attention, The Point
Frederick martello tower is now the
museum of the Royal Military Col-
lege, and it, of course, has been kept
In splendid condition. -
Had a Successful Year.
Last year was the most successful
year in the history of the Canadian
Silver Black Fox Association, accord-
ing to reports read at the annual
meeting at Charlottetown, P. E, I,
About 40,000 pups were registered,
P. E. I. leading with 17,348, New
Brunswick had 6,861, Ontario 4,302,
Quebec 3,141, Nova Scotia 2,612, Al-
berta 1,847, Manitoba 1,437, British
Columbia 873, and Saskatchewan
793. Some 60,000 old fMXOS were re-
inspected during the year,
The membership of the association
Is 4,800, being 1,000 above that of
tate preceding year. The financial
statement showed a surplus of over
$23,000.
Canadian Tobacco Popular.
Canadian -grown tobaeco is becom-
ing increasingly popular in the Brit-
ish Isles. Last year the British mar-
ket bought nearly 7,000,000 pounds
of tobacco grown in the Dominion,
compared with about 175,000 pounds
in 1921. The acreage under cultiv-
ation to tobacco in Caueda itt 1927
was about 44,000, from which a crop
of nearly 46,000,000 pounds was har-
vested, In 1921 the total acreage
was 16,621 and the production 13,-
248,962 pounds.
Export of Mutton.
A striking increase is to bo noted
in the export of mutton and lamb
from Canada. In ;.he twelve months
ended May, 1928, 18,788 cwt„ worth
$385,311, was exported as compared
with 13,119 owt„ worth $296,954, in

1Preparing Bees
For Winter
The first stove in preparing bees
for the winter should be made if
possible not later than the first week
in August when all old and failing
queens are replaced with young pro-
lific ones, so that the colonies will go
into winter quarters with plenty of
young bees. All weak colonies are
united.
Feeding is started about the last
week in September, and the bees are
given enough syrup to bring a 10 -
frame Langstroth hive without the
cover up to 75 pounds, and an 8 -
frame Langstroth hive up to 65 pou-
nds. A syrup consisting of one part
water and two parts sugar is fed.
This is put into 10 -pound honey pails
in each cover of which there are
about 50 nail holes, The pails are
then inverted and placed upon the
frames. The syrup is pu ton the
hives warns and in very cold weather
the pails are wrapped with bags. The
bees will take the syrup down much
faster if fed warm. About fifty
Pounds of syrup should be given each
Colony: At the last examination,
which is just before feeding com-
mence, see that there is enough space
left in the hive to store this amount.
if a queen is failing, the bees might
fill up several combs with pollen, and
when trying your hives for weight,
you might be mislead by this. If 'the
combs are rather full of honey, re-
move one or two of them and replace
with empty ones. Bees will winter
much better on sugar syrup.
The bees are wintered outside in
c n i
a good sheltered Yocatio n four-
'
o
colony winter cases; that is, four
colonies are placed back to back and
side to side in a large box which pe-
rmits of four inches of packing on the
bottom, and five or six inches at the
sides and top. The entrance is left
partly open at all times.
The hives are packed in the cases
as soon as feeding is over, and are
taken out when the weather becomes
settled in the spring.
If the bees are to be wintered in
! the cellar, the hives are brought up to
65 pounds, and are put in the cellar
as soon as the bees have ceased flying.
The cellar must be kept at about 45F.
The bees are taken out early in the
spring that is when tahe first pollen is
, coming in and the weather becomes
settled as above mentioned.
Owing 'co the long winters and cool
springs,' wintering outside is recom-
mended for Prince Edward Island,
