from ,
'theatre it was net expected that
the -Canadian drama centre at,
Stratford could or would be con-
fined to that type of play exclusiv-
ely. It was also hoped in the
' beginning that Stratford would
eventually be a training field for
inexperienced students of the
theatre as well as an opportunity
for Canadian professionals — from
one coast to the other — to act
upon the stage with professional
casts led by one or more inter-
nationally known stars.
This year, of course, both of
these aims will bear fruit. Except
for James Mason and Douglas
Campbell, both well-known Eng-
lish actors, all of the male roles
in the three plays under the direc-
tion of Cecil Clarke and Tyrone
Guthrie will be taken by Canad-
ians, All of the female leads will
be, taken by Canadians, Frances
Hyland, of Regina (though born
in Shaunavon, Sask.) leaves her
company in Liverpool to play Isa-
bella" in : "Measure for Measure".
Eleanor Stuart, a Montreal wo-
man who has a good acting repu-
tation abroad, will lead in "Oedi-
pus Rex", and Barbara Chilcott
Toronto will play the female lead
in"Taming of the Shrew", a part
previously planned for an English
actress.
Although the Festival is definit-
ely not sectional in scope, Toronto,
with its developing facilities for
the theatre, is better represented
in the Stratford company than
any other Canadian city. Of the
cast of 60 there are 24 men and
Women from the Ontario capital,
12 , of them being cast in major
roles.
However, four thespians from
Montreal are in the company, and
although the eastern part of Can-
ada is not represented this year,
young stage aspirants from•sum-
mer • theatres, hay -circuits and
community theatres . right- across
the continent will be' getting the
chance of their lives. Talent scouts
will be tumbling over .each other
this year. In leading parts are
men from Kitchener, Stratford it-
self, and Ottawa. Also in the
general cast are, fine stage pros-
pects representing Kingston, Lon-
don, 'St, Marys, Ont , 'Winnipeg,
Moose Jaw, Calgary, Edmonton,
Vancouverand• Victoria,
In addition to the plays them-
selves, Stratford will 'also have a
summer course in theatre study
under the', supervision of : Cecil
Clarke, artistic director of the
Festival and the same man who
organized the Old': Vic Theatre
school in London, England. ° The
course will run from July' 26 to
August 11, and it is open to -a lim-
ited number of students, selected
for their sincerity in all aspects of
theatrical Work.

What has this got to do with
cancer? One of the characteristics
of cancer cells is that they grow
more rapidly than normal cells. If
a competitive inhibitor can be used
to combine with the enzyme in
the cell in place of natural food-
steffs the tumor cell will lack the
energy with which to grow. This.
is a very vital matter in cancer
control.
There are difficulties, however.
Glucosamine is an example of a
competitive inhibitor. It has the
ability to compete with glucose
(sugar) for certain enzymes in the
cell which are necessary for the
release of energy.
Glucosamine seemed to be the
perfect substance to inhibit tumor
growth. A carefully controlled
experiment was conducted by pro-
ducing cancersin mice by trans-
planting them with tumors from
other animals and then giving
them glucosamine. The investigat-
ors were encouraged to notice that
the animals receiving glucosamine
showed a definite reduction in
tumor growth. Although cancer
researchers never permit over-
optimism, it did look as though
they hadachieved an important
step forward in cancer control.
The results were definite. The
tumors stopped growing at their
normal rate.
Then they ran into difficulties.
The next group of rats tested did
not show these same results, nor
were other tumors as responsive
as the first one tried. Glucosamine
has never worked again as it did
on the initial groups of rats.
Further extensive research in-
dicates that the body breaks down
the glucosamine before it gets a
chance to do its work. Only a
small amount gets into the tumor
cell and that, too, breaks down.
The only conclusion the research-
ers can reach at present is that
the first strains of rats investigat-
ed were in a condition where their
bodies did not break down the
glucosamine as rapidly as usual so
it was able to gain access to the
tumor cells,
So, the search continues for a
glucose inhibitor and an inhibitor
of other fpodstuffs of the tumor
cell that will not break down be -

There are no prairie schooners

But when I first went to Vancouv-
er's Stanley Park to see the great
redwood tree (or perhaps it was a
fir) which was pictured in our
geography books (with an early
model automobile parked right in-
side its trunk) it was enough to
make even the stoutest heart
skeptical when the great tree turn-
ed out to be a rotten stump.

June advertising set-aside which
ast year topped $366,000. Officials
of the national producer organiza-
tion, representing 455,000 farmers,
believe that with more promotion
effort in Ontario and Quebec, the
national fund for advertising, pub-
lic relations > and research can be
boosted over the $400,000 mark.
Support for this belief is found in
the numerous resolutions present-
ed at recent dairy meetings favor-
ing an increased basis of set-aside
across the.country. Most d iry
of-
ficials give the program consider-
able credit for Canada's increased
per capita consumption of dairy
foods in 1953,
In their 1953 report, members
of the Dairy Farmers' publicity
committee, stress the importance
of the 1954 Set-aside. They draw
attention to the fact 'that when
farm income declines there is a
tendency on the part of farmers
to increase production to meet
Crops Branch of the Ontario De-
partment, of Agriculture Urges
Use of Registered or Certified
Seed as Best Control Measures.
That Biblical injunction "As- ye
sow, so shall ye reap" may wellbe
teamed an authoritative admoni-
tion specifically directed to On-
tario farmers, says the crops
branch of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture. Officials of the
branch warn that the farmer who
carelessly sows wild oats (Avena
Fatua) will surely reap a harvest
of sorrow.
"In the place of plump nutrit-
ious grain the farmer who sows
wild oats will garner hairy chaffy
kernels, long awned and twisted,"
says C. H Kingsbury, fieldman,
"When gazing, mournfully at ker-
nels of wild oats he will notice a
sucker, mouth scar at 'its base. It
is a reminder that only suckers
sow such seed."
The crops branch points out that
the best control measure is to sow
registered or certified seed. Use
of such seed guarantees freedom
from such weeds. It is emphasized
that once present wild oat seed
can remain- in the soil for many
years.
Once land is infested the farm-
er must play against time to pre-
vent the seed from maturing. Sum-
mer fallowing with frequent culti-
vation will work the seeds to the
surface where they can germinate
and be destroyed. Winter wheat
can follow.
Where the infestation is heavy
on good crop land, the soil should
be worked in the fall and early
spring and disced to destroy the
seedlings. Follow this treatment
with row crops and if necessary,
repeat a second year in keeping
the crop hoed, advises the crops
branch. Plow deep at the end of
the first and second year and then
follow with early barley seeded
down and cut early or pasture off.
It is also pointed out that a long-
term pastw.'e of five or more years
duration will also greatly reduce
the amount of living wild oat seed
in the soil.
Spraying with maleic hydrazide
from aircraft just when wild oat
blossoms are open prevents the
formation of seed but this control
is not applicable to Ontario con-
ditions.

They have been called ducks,

but are turkey poults from the
Wallace Turkey Farm at Blyth.
Watch them grow;
I just saw a report on pigs
being raised at the Purina Re-
search Farm. Sows there have
been weaning an average of
9.17 pigs per litter (twice a
year) right along. That means
Purina sows are weaning almost
3 extra pigs per litter, above
the average.
They explain it this way: In
poorly fed sows, embryo pigs
are resorbed, so fewer pigs are
farrowed. Then many pigs, alive
at birth, are so small and weak
they cannot survive. That's
why the general weaning aver-
age is so low.
We know a lot of local sows,
conditioned on Sow & Pig
Chow, are weaning big litters,
too. Ever figure up what 3
extra pigs marketed per litter
would do to your profits?
