Comfort for Cattle
Cattle cars are becoming as
comfortable, almost, as Pullmans.
At any rate, they now have anti -
friction roller -bearing journal box-
es and the latest sorts of spring
undcrfrautes and air brakes, and
they stake it possible to cut the
former travel time from range to
market in half,
That is as it should be. Nothing
can be too good for the gentle
creatures that provide its with
beef -steak, if and when we can
afford it. --New York Times.

There's more to a field of
growing corn than meets the eye,
especially during these days of "corn
weather lime" when the cornficlrls
put on a "Jack-anel-the-beansla1 "
performance.
Sone seientifie observations on
corn's remarkable capacity to
grow quickly wsic reported by Dr.
T, A. Kiesselbach, well-known ag-
00110mist.
Corn, for example, on an aver-
age July day grows about two
and a hall inches every 24 hours,
bat if conditions are exceptionally
good it will grow as notch as four
itches a clay.
* • *
University research has shown
that corn grows exactly is much
during ,he day as at night, con-
trary 10 a general notion that It
does Most of its growing at
night.
Corn, oft the average, rises
from a height of 30 indica to
about 100 inches during the four
week sly 5 to .August 5 "corm
weather season," n rate of growth
which is one of the greatest per
day of any crop grown in the
cornhelr.
* * *
During its first week above
the ground' the corn plant has
about 15 square inches of leaves.
At the end of eight weeks of
growth it has 1,400 square inches
of lea ves, or more than enough
to cover 1111 ordinary card table.
The corn plant draws its mois-
ture from a vast fibrous root sys-
tem which when the plant
reaches maturity is over Seven
piles long if alt of thetas were
placed end to end; and the roots
rim six feet below the surface.
* * *
About. half of tate cont plant's
life is expended before it roaches
the slitting stage; and the other
half is cossutned III developing
and maturing the cars,
"Ideal corn weather" shone
include plenty of ntai5ttlre in the
soil sru'r'ntuuling the corn plant,
and hot dry weather with tentpe-
ratures averaging between 90 and
100 degrees during the day,
These conclusions, Dr, ICicssel.
back points out, are based out
corn grown at the university's
agronomy farm and are applicable
to corn grown .Its the eoonbelt
states. "

by Your Ful -O -Pep Reporter
The crowds at the Canadian
National Exhibition this year broke
records in more ways than one. As
your Ful -O -Pep reporter roamed
through the throngs he rapidly ac-
quire('
squire(' the knack of spotting the out-
of-town visitors. The non-residents
of Toronto seemed much more at
home in the Fair Grounds than the
city folk, This isn't really surprising
when one remembers that over 250
fairs and exhibitions are held every
year in the small towns of Ontario.
AS a result, the small town and rural
sightseers found their way around
the lfxhibition Grounds with the air
of old veterans, whereas the city
man in many cases had the bewilder-
ed mien of a tourist.
* * *
The Teen Town booth proved a
popular rendezvous for the younger
set who, on the whole, seemed more
interested in the cultural exhibits
than the glitter of the Midway—and
glitter there was a -plenty along this
popular boulevard!
* * 5
The livestock was of prime inter-
est to many of the out-of-town
visitors. The competition was keen in
all classes, and such top-notch en-
tries as the Ayrshire bull, )lraeheid
Barr Imperial, owned bat A. J. Leid-
man & Sons of Caledonia, provided
real eye -appeal for the crowd,
The livestock men, as always,
talked shop nearly twenty-four hours
a day, and many bewailed the fact
that Ful -O -Pep feed is not more
plentiful. Your reporter did a little
missionary work in this line, and
pointed ont the fact that the quality
of this feed is not being lowered to
meet the demand, .rid, as a result
Fill -O -Pep is, at times, still a little
difficult to obtain. It was also
pointedout that production is being
stepped up as rapidly as is possible
without affecting the quality.
5 * *
From the Midway to 'tc most
lavish industrial exhibit, the general
public -was treated to salesmanship
of tate highest order. Each exhibitor
made a real effort to lure the public
to his particular location, and, once
there, to sell the prospect.
In this line, some free samples
were offered as a come-on, but not
nearly in the profusion of yester-
year. The adults complained about
The scarcity of free samples gener-
ally, but the youngsters had a "field
day" acgiring everything from paper
cups to samples of soap flakes, which
seemed to satisfy the young looters.
Actually the soap flake samples were
scarcely sufficient to properly laun-
der a woman's small handkerchief.
The kiddies, as well as their
elders, seemed to be price -conscious,
and patronized such features as the
Nickel Arcade where battery after
battery of electric cranes operated
for five cents. There the lucky youth-
ful operator could pick up a valuable
prize; failing that he was assured
of a claw frill of candy. The fanny
mirrors and magic carpet were addi-
tional "musts" on the youngsters' hit
parade.
Children's Day proved to many of
the concessionaires that buyer -resist-
ance is considerably more than just a
phrase. The children shopped around
for the best buys, and the operators
who failed to reduce prices on this
eventful) occasion found themselves
with a scarcity of customers. In
short order the youthful horde
forced the neglectful concessionaires
to post special Childrens' Day prices.

If what we saw at the C.N.E. is a
true indication of the trend of the
times, it seems certain that the buy-
ers' market we have heard of for no
long is truly just around the corner.

1948 Car Features
Comfortable Interior
Silhouettes will be lower,
achieved by dropping the height
slightly and widening the body
somewhat. Lines will be smooth-
er, and front ends simpler ex-
cept for more massive bumpers
(on the rear also) to bring the
eye down.
There will be 0 tendency to
shorten body lengths a little be-
cause of conpaints that cars are
not fitting in garages. Mitch
more glass will be used, so that
pillars will be narrowed and blind
spots eliminated, says Newsweek.
In body interiors thc target 1s
living -room comfort and atmos-
phere. Front seats, getting
wider for ten years, will -add a
little more space, Air condition-
ing will be installed on the more
cxpcns%e cars.
Mechanically, thc biggest
change will be elimination of the
gear shift, v:ith several compan-
ies planning to offer this feature
in their '48 models. Engines will
be shorter. perhaps through wider
use of V -type models, the object
being to cut down the length of
the hood and bring front and 'back
seats forward, cradling passengers
between the two aides fol a
smoother ride.
Irish moss found in til craters orf
the North Atlantic coast is used in
puddings, medicines, cosmetics and
lotions.
