Rust has long been one of the
greatest bugbears of the wheat
grOwer, and it seems as if just
am soon as one variety of the pest
le checked, another ie bound to
tern up. A good example is the
ac)cent advent of race 15B 'CU

IV the rust threat by incorporat-
lag into our present standard

mist rusts, but undoubtedly new

Of them. Hence a long range view
must be taken by the plant breed-
er to obtain material to satisfy
ault only present needs, but also
future needs.
* «
Since it is becoming increasing-
av difficult to find new resistant
avheets for breeding, other sources
Should be explored to supplement
the supply of resistance, says R. C.
McGinnis, Laboratory of Cereal
Breeding, Winnipeg. It is known
that certain wild grasses related
'le wheat -various species of Ag-
reParen, Aegiiops and Haynaldia
- have excellent resistance.
Should a transfer of this resist-
ance to common wheat prove
possible, then a new reservoir of
breeding material would be avail-
able. Some of these grasses do
.not cross readily with wheat, or
when they do cross, produce
sterile hybrids.
*
When this happens, a different
method of breeding must be used.
First, two grasses are crossed and
then the resulting hybrid is treat-
ed with a chemical such as col-
chicine. Colchicine can cause the
chromosome number to double in
The plant cells, and the hybrid
thereby becomes fertile and
table. This is called "species
building" because such hybrids
are actually new species. In many
cases these new species can be
grossed successfully with wheat.
In this way the rust resistance of
'certain wild grasses may be trans-
ferred to wheat.

In 1951, a program such as- buts
lined was started at the Cereal
Breeding Laboratory, Undoubted-
ly the program will meet with
-many adversities and will require
number of years beforeits
practicability can be fully as-
sessed.
"Fish and chips" have been the
subject of many jokes on the
stage and over the air; but potato
growers are corning more and
mere to realize that, to them, the
"chips" part of the ,lastotthecom-•
bination is by no means a joke.
For potato chips are providing
n. highly important outlet for in-
creased sales of the lowly spud.
The magazine "Canadian Food
Industries" ,reports that as early
SOME TYPES YOU SElE
THROUGH A WINDSHIELD
The Frankly Panic -Stricken
as 1960 rectory sales of potato
chips and flakes, M Canada,
totalled 31/4 'million dollars. In
the United States the cash value
of chips produced in 1951 Was
almost 185 million dollars, A
sur v e y of what "Teen-agers"
there prefer for snacks revealed
that potato chips were among the
top ten snack foods.
*
Recently methods have been
developed experimentally to give
the chips candy, chocolate, or
cheese coatings to further in-
crease their popularity.
Ethel Dixon and P. M. Towns -
ley, Central Experimental Tann,
Ottawa, have tested a wide
variety of coating and candy re-
cipes. They found nine which
gave desirable coatings. They
weres white p ow der e d sugar;
caramel, molasses, molasses and
peppermint, peanut taffy, spice,
corn syrup candies; nut brittle,
maple and lemon candy glazes.
e
ft was found that candied coat-
ings had to be applied at temper-
atures above 180 - degrees F. or
transfer of moisture from the
candy to the chip resulted in a
soggy confection.
Candies were applied by cooks
ing the candy mixes in duble
boilers with oil used as a heating
medium. The cooked candy was
poured into greased trays to cool
and harden. Pouring was done
at 310 degrees F. The candy was
then ground to a fine powder.
Non -salted, fried potato chips
were mixed with this powder
until the chip s were given a
thorouglf coating. These can be
used as powdered chips or further
treated to give them a glazed,
candied surface. Glazing consists
of exposing the powdered coated
chips to an instantaneous flash
heat of 1,000 to 1,300 degrees F.
which spreads the powder in an
even thin glaze over the chips.
•
Chocolate coated chips are
made simply by dipping the un-
salted potato chips in a semi-
sweet baker's cocolate at 80 to 85
degrees F.
Should flavours such as pepper-
mint, maple, lemon, various spice
oils, or ground spice be desired,
the flavour should be added to
the candy either after it is con-
centrated to the desired temper-
ature, and immediately before
the candy hardens, or, if the
flavour is a powder, it may be
added to the ground candy.
Cheese coated ehips, a more
recent development, have also
„ ,provecl popular with. a. tasting
panel to Whom they were sub-
mitted. 'Powdered skimm 11 k
cheese, dusted on -the chips and
heated about three minutes at
350 to 400 degrees F., proved the
most satisfactory. S ki in milk
cheese adhered 10 the surface of
the chip whereas fatty cheese did
not. Chips coated with liquid
cheese were unattractive in ap-
pearance and in taste. -The cheese
flavour combined well with the
flavour of the potato chip and in
the case of the skimmilk cheese
coating the chips were attractive
in appearance, particularly when
toasted,

smoke as he addressed a Ban-
shees luncheon, complained to
Hugh Herbert: "Don't you ever

Lives in The Middle
Of A Clover Leaf
As far as is known, 39 -year-
old Gale Putnam Emerson and
his wife and 10 -year-old son are
the only family who live smack
in the middle of a giant highway
cloverleaf.
What's more, the traffic which
spurts around. the house doesn't
seem to annoy them a bit. As a
matter of fact, the busy new
turnpike -just 20 miles to the
north of Boston -has proved a
one-way street to fame and for-
tune for the Emerson family.
It wasn't ever thus. No less
than 300 years ago John Putnam
-an ancestor of Galo's-built
this charming mansion alongside
a quiet Indian trail "to get away
from the hubbub of the towne
of Salem." Nine generations of
Putnams went on living there,
including the famous General
Israel Putnam who led troops
at Bunker Hill. From 1648 until
1949, the handsome colonial re-
sidence remained a nice quiet
hideaway, se cur ely insulated
against the hustle and bustle of
modern life.
Then, three years ago, the
• Massachusetts Department of
Public 'Works began plotting a
new super -highway. One of
those giant modern cloverleath,
with overpasses and underpasses,
would intersect it at Maple
Street arid Newburyport Pike.
That's' just 'where Galo's house
stood.
To be irank, he didn't much
cotton to the idea of living in a
"traffic el r c 1 e, serenaded by
screeching brakes and grinding
gears. Besides, the state could
find no precedent anywhere per-
rnitting a family fo live in a pri-
• vats home, smack in the middle
of a public highway.
Still, the mansion, was a his-
toric landm a r k. And Galo
wouldn't move. So the depart-
ment made a bold decision. They
would preserve the house intact
with about Oared of its original
acres, within one arm of the
cloverleaf.
As workmen and steam shovels
and grading machines moved in,
Gale began warming over an
old ambition. He had always
wanted to go into business for
himself. Maybe this big upheav-
al could mean a new style of life
in more ways than one. The traf-
fic swirling past his front door
could also bring customers.
He thought of starting a gas
station, or maybe a wayside din-
ing room. But his spry, dignified
mother -now 78 -balked. Not if
she could prevent it, she said;
it wasn't worthy of family tra-
dition. But why not turn an old
family custom to profit? The Em-
ersons and Putnams had always
been famously good candy-roaks
ers, and she had a recipe or
fudge, handed down from one
generation to another, that was
a dilly.
In General Putnam's old work-
shop, just 100 feet from the back
stoop of his house, Galo installed
a. Candy Shoppe. He added a few
flourishes, like a beamed ceiling,
salt box roof and huge &Ionia]
fireplace. Then he hired an old
New England eandymaker to
cook up more than 40 kinds of
candy - concentrating on fudge
as the Shoppe Specialty.
Within six months of its open'-
ing, Putnam Candies had be-
come a great success. •
'However, Gale ii now a man
beset by his own curious traffic
probletn., The shop sits only 100
feet from his back door - less
than a minute's walls taut he
likes to -drive his car to and
from work, on the theory -that
(1) he !suede it ssr going to the
postollice, (2) 410 thinks a car
standing in the shop driveway
attracts customers,
Getting to work i 'a
bree-
he just turns tight on the clever- ••'•
leaf and drives the 100 feet
to the store, ,But, --she drive -,
home - that's different He
must turn right, since it is a one-
way highway, and circumnavi-
gate the entire four arms of the
cloverleaf, going over the' Ivraple
Street overpass twice, and tra-
versing under passes' two times
more. That makes It fully a •ixiile's
drive home: The trip makes bim
a bit dizzy, he says, since it'e
all in one 'direction,' and one
right turn after another,
The Putnam House still snug-
gles down among a few remain-
ing great elms, as if hiding from
the prying eyes of. the motoaists.
There it sits, a quiet oasis of
residential charm, squarely in
the center of a traffic whirlwind.
Life in it, says Galo, "is just like
in a beehive, with swarms of
buzzing insects all around the
place." •
But the Emersons couldn't be
happier about life in a cloverleaf
- since it's brought. all those
sweet profits, and helped a life-
long ambition come true.

Earth's Centre
Solid?
' 'Earthquake waves are trans-
rititthd at different rates of speed
in different regions beneath the
surface, The reason is that the
density and elastic properties of
the material below the earth's
eel st vary. From the arrival times
of earthquake waves it is possible
to deduce various properties of
the earth's interior.
Prof. K. E. Bulleri of Sydney
UniVersity, Australia, discussed
these matters at the last meeting
of the Australian and' New Zeal-
and Association for the Advance-
ment of Science. Like most geo-
logists he holds that the earth
has a core with a radius of 2,000
miles -a core physically distinct
from the outer mantle which
reaches up another 1,800 miles to
.the surface. Professor Bullen has
found evidence that while the
outer part of the central core is
fluid, the inner core is solid and
about eighteen tunes as dense as
water. He believes that the outer
part of the central core consists
of a high density liquid form of
silicate rock about eleven times
es dense as water. The inner core
in his opinion consists of iron,

OUR LIVING LORD

Memory Selection; I am the
resurrection and the life,
-John 11:25,
The greatest miracle is the re-
surrection of our Lord Jesus
Christ. About 9 am. Friday, he
was crucified. He gave up His
spirit about 3 p.m. Soon His
body was taken down from the
cross and laid in a tomb, The
religious leaders persuaded Pil-
ate to post a guard "lest His
disciples come by night, and
steal Him away, and say unto
the people, 'He is risen from the
dead'; so the last error shall be
worse than the first."
At sunrise Sunday morning
the great event took Place. Jesus
arose, Folded the grave clothes
and laid them to one side, and
went forth. An angel rolled back
the stone and sat upon it. This
wasn't necessary to let Jesus
come forth but to iet the dis-
ciples enter and see that He was
indeed risen. He may have gone
before the stone was removed,
for doors and walla were no ob-
stacle to Jesus after His resur-
rection. His body came from the
old but it was different. Fatigue
and death would never come
again, The 'body was perfected.
The guards were paralyzed with
fear and 'helpless. ' Whete the

Shrubbery, vineo, roses, 'trees
and other nursery atook should
be planted, as early as pOottible.
l especially true where the
climate Is dry and extra waters
ing is difficult, The main thing
is to make euro' that the roots
of the new stock are kept away
frorn air and are moist at ail
times. All these things should be
planted with •the roots spread out
loosely, -then covered with fine,
rich soil, pressed down firmly.
If at all possible water liberally
for a week or two.
Good nursery stock is soft and
pliable and well supplied with
good live buds. The latter, how-
ever, should not be far advanced.
The nearer a plant gets to leaf-.
Mg out the more difficult the
transplanting.
Common Mistake
Two of the commonest mistakes
of the new gardener are plant-
ing too close together and too
deeply. When sowing one should
always t413r andpicture the result-
ing plants. Even tiny flowers like
alyssum or portulaca, things that
are only an inch or so high at
full maturity, will require inom.
The safe rule is about at "Vast
half as much space between as
they are high when 6111 grown.
With small flowers and vege-
tables this means at least a couple
of inches between and with; say,
zinnias, peas, beans, etc., four to
six inches. With dahlias and corn
this should be 12 to 18 inches.
The rule for depth is three times
the diameter of the seed or root
planted, Now this does not mean
that one should measure with
calipers' but simply press in tiny
seeds, wlule such things as beans
and peas should be covered about
an inch deep. A few very tall
flowers like gladiolus and dah-
lias should go from six to 12
inches,
Beck Savers.
Where one has more than the
average sized lot, a garden trac-
tor plus or including a power
lawn mower will save a lot of
time and hard work. They will
also do the work at least five
times faster than by hand. It is
a mistake to purchase too large
equipment especially in tractors.
The smaller types are much more
easily handled. Experienced gar-
deners advise buying more and
smaller power units, rather than
a big heavy tractor with a lot
of attachments.
P tontine, Calendar
Flowers and vegetables arrange
themselves in three convenient
nm planting groups. First come
those things which will stand a
lot of frost. In fact most of them
can be sown just as soon as 'we
Can get out on the ground M the
spring. In this hardy category are
cosmos, snapdragons and sweet
'peas among the flowers, and let-
tuce, radish, peas and spinach
among the vegetables. '
Then come the semi -hardy
things, like petunias, nasturtiums,
• zinnias among the flowers and
°beets, cabbage, beans, etc., among
• the vegetables.
• Last are the tender plants
-which if a frost does notkill out-
right will damage thein'el) severe-
ly that they will actually lag bee
hind later plantings. Examples are
dahlias and gladiolus m 'flowers,
and in vegetables melons, cucum-
bers, corn and the main planting
of potatoes. Of course with the
vegetables especially we can rush
the season a bit. Usually a few
rows of corn and potatoes are
risked heading of time. In the
seed catalogue, the various de-
grees of hardiness will be shown.
On most seed packets, too, there
is some indication of the proper
tithe to plant, in addition to other
vital information like soil and
sunshine requireinentso and depth .
