Now ,-the state of Illinois is considered to he about the centre of the cern growing area. 'Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakotas have all become Corn growing states and the advance of the corn plant has' con- itnuGd across the Canadian border in to iilanitoba, Saskatchewan, and Al- berta and in these provinces oacli sec- coeding year sees corn beteg triad a little farther north, In recent years these attempts have beeu associated with a fair degree of success, so much eo that the future of corn growing in the Prairie Peen/aces seems assured. Not only hoe Born been advancing steadily northward across the prairies but this year a -report from the Do- minion Experimental 'Substation at Swede Creek, In the Yukon Territory, near the Alaska Boundary, showed tbat on August 1, a dwarf variety was forming ears. This is a good omen for the ultimate success even .in that northern area. Growth at Fort Vermilion. Considering, bowever, the prairie farming area,.the paasibilities of Corn growing in the northern parts le indi- cated. by tbesuccess that has attended the efforts at the Beaveriodge and Fort Vermilion Dominion Experimental sta- tides, both situated hi northern Alber- ta. At the latter station, which le about 650 miles north of the Interna- tional Boundary, the Department of Agriculture has for a number of years conducted variety tests with the more common commercial varieties of field corn, including Wisconsin No, 7, White Cap Yellow Dent, Bailey, Longfellow, North Western Dent, Quebec No, 28; Canada Yellow. etc These varieties ranged in yield of green -material •ln 1922, which was a good corn year, from 1536 tons in the cane of Wiscon- sin No 7 to 243f tons in the case of Longfellow. The experiments showed that with better adapted types profit - table crops of Corn fodder should be possible At Beaveriodge, smaller Yields are usually -secured, but here also sufficient fodder is obtained to promise an encouraging future of adapted corn' Varieties At stations in the more southern sections of the Prairie Provinces crops of fodder are beteg secured from the varieties pre- viously mentioned, that fu many cases. compare favorably with what is pro- duced tbrough :eastern Ontario Un- der irrigated Conditions at Lethbridge, in southern 'Alberta, as high as 48 tons of green fodder per acre bas been secured in exceptionally favorable sea- sons, and seldom bas it not been pos- sible to produce profitable crops, Varieties of Corn. In the experiments conducted at Brandon, Manitoba, for four years with ten varieties of corn, the yields as harvested ranged front 11% tons to 191n'tons. These results indicate that the possibilities of corn growing for fodder purpoes in the southern Mani- toba section are very encouraging, Such early maturing varieties as Bebe, Improved . Squaw, Manitoba Flint„ early selections of North Weat- ern Dent, North Dakota White Flint, Howes. Flint, etc., can be ripened each year with a fair degree of certainty and' serve as a source of grain corn, Some growers who planted corn without consideration of variety, soil treatment and suitable locality leave been disappointed. In view of the fact, bowever, that corn breeding is only in its infancy and that varieties at present existent will grow over a large area of the Canadian prairies It' scents reasonable to expect profitable, corn growing hi the future to continue' to extend northward even beyond the the line of present day settlement.

RacIai Oileln lrlslt, Source—A given name, Dailey, While the family naines of Ireland and Scotland are more often indicative Of blood than those of England, they are not necessarily so, for both the Irish and the Scottish Clans of the olden days were composed of then who merely acknowledged the leadership of the various Chiefs, as well as those who actually were related to them. But most of the Irish natnes, through such clan Connections as these, trace straight back to very definite sources The source of the Daily group of names was tho great-grandson of "Adamh," who was a brother of "Fargal," the 156th monarch of an- cient Ireland.. This chief was "Dallach," The name is derived from the Gaelic word for "blind," and the clan which he founded took from him the name of "O'Dallaighee' ' Like so many of the Irish clan names, it has developed a number of different English spellings, due in part to the effort to get a spelling that in the latter language correctly repre- Bents the sound, and in part tb the en- forcement of British lege' enactments at varlons periods intended to foster the English language and customs, Eupbon1cally either Daily or Daly is a correct English rendering Of the name. In the case of Dale, some bear- ers of -the name, either through choice or presspre, have gone a step further and taken this English Irish one, al- though of different origin, A "Music Room" in Tour New Home.

Source—A given Hnle, Your natural Conclusion is that the surname of Lewis and its variations are but developmento of the Christian na'ine of Louis, despite the difference in spelling; and in the main We is true, though Lewis also is traceable to other sources, However, the original form of the given name Louis was not Louis. It was Chlodowig, It was brought into western Europe in the barbarian In- - vasions which swept out the Roman governments and submerged the Cel- tic populations, It was a fighting name, It meant "Glorious Fight." In what to -day is Prairce, the name became softened and shortened under the influence of the Latinized Celts, in- to Clovis. Then, through the dropping of the initial "C," and the further soft -1 ening of the "v" to the sound of "w" , or "u," it became Louis. Taken into England by the Normans, it often came to be spelled Lewis. In what is to -day Germany only the "Ch" was dropped, and the second "o" slurred B over, remaining as. Ludwig. Still far- ther east it has retained more of the original form as Ludovica. In all these parts of Europe it became a family; name in the same manner that other given names have. But through the English, the name traces back often in the middle ages to Levi, many of the Jews coning to the country deciding to Anglicize their names. It also traces back in a few instances to Lewis, the name of a city in. England. e the front room from the hallway. On the other side there was invariably the fireplace and mantel, which occupied the greater portion of the wall space. Leading into the dining room of moat homes, there was found the open arch- way or sliding or folding doors, which took up •muchoof the htelde wall. In many instances, this ,left only those sections of the four walls which form- ed the four corners of the living room, and the wall measurements were of- ten insufficient for the placing of the piano. If or when • the piano is installed, the householder finds that it must stink out at an angle, a portion of the instrument blocking the passageway into the hall of into the adjacent din- ing room. This forms a nuisance and, at the same time, when the piano has to be placed at an angle it takes up valuable floor apace, thus crowding the room. Mr. Pingle believes that the present tendency in house con- struction is a detriment to music. Mr. Pingle also has the suggestion to make that architects and builders, Would u d be encouraged to design mod- est residences in which there would be a room which could be designated as a "Music Room," A Wallet in a Cake of Ice.
