Sweet Clover as Manure
During recent years many farmers
have been growing sweet 'clover in
rotation with potatoes. A full crop
of sweet clover plowed under may
be considered worth as much as 15
to 39 tons, of barnyard manure.
Where farmers have plenty of 'te-
nure available it may not be desir-
able to grow sweet clover for the,
purpose of plowing it down, but
where the manure supply is limited
•it has been profitable to follow the
above plan of action. The most es-
sential precautions to be observed
in growing sweet clover are to make
sure that the soil is not acid that
it ie well enough drained to prevent
heaving and that the seed is inocul-
. ated.

alter the Canadian Liquor Export
Bill, considerable propaganda eman-
ated from somewhere aiming to con-

Enough natural gas went to waste
in Turner Valley last year to supply
the needs of all present Alberta us-
ers for 15 years, according to an ar-
ticle by Robert M. Gourley, engineer
with the Canadian Wlestern Natural
Gas, Light, Heat and Power Cont- i
puny, which appears in the current
issue of the Engineering Journal.
Mr. Gourley estimates that near-
ly .40,000,000 worth of heat is
burned up each year in Turner
Valley while the napth t and crude
oil output only aproximated 34,-
000,000 in value yearly.
Realizing that the Bow Island
field, which organally contained
approximately 45;000,000,000 cubic
feet and over a period of 12 years
Produced about 88,000,000 cubic feet
had become depleted, the gas company
decided to utilize some of the waste
gas from Turner Valley to re -pres-
sure the Bow Island sands, Mr, Goul-
lay states.
Mr. Gourley says the success of
this venture was immediately appar-
ent. During the first five days a
total of 37,000,000 cubic feet of gas
was forced into the sands,
Since Mr. Gourlay's article was
published, gas company officials have
announced that more than 1,000,000,
000 cubic feet of gas have been forc-
ed into the depleted sands. Re -
pressuring is continuing at the rate
of from 5,000,000 to 6,000:000 cubic
feet daily. -:Calgary Herald.

CENSUS REPORTS FOR "ABSENT
FAMILIES ..
The Census makes special provis-
ion for enumeration of families who
aro away from home during the
month of June.
In the 'Seventh Census of Canada,
which will be taken during the month
of June, every person is to be enum-
erated, so far as possible, at his or.
her usual place of abode or the place
where he or she usually lives. Where
individual members of a family are
away from hone at the time the Cen-
sus is taken, they will be reported to
the enumerator by other members of
the family.
For cases where the whole family
will be away from home at the time
the Census is taken special provision
has been made by the Census author-
ities in the form of a "Closed House
Card" which is to be filled out by the
enumerator and transmitted to the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
Families planning to be away dur-
ing the month of June, leaving the
home closed or with no one in charge
who is qualified to give the Census
information to the enumerator, are
urged to leave information with a
neighbour as to the locality where
they will be in residence during the
month of June, Or if the house is in
charge of a servant who would be
sure to be at lhonis when the winner-..
ator calls, the ;Cenjsus !information
may be left with such servant to be
given to the enumerator;; but, if the
required information is not• available
through these channels, . a "Closed
House 'Card" mast be filled in and
forwarded ''to Ottawa. The Census.
Bureau has also made provision for
enumerating such families where
these families spend the holiday, if in
Canada, and the enumerators have
been instructed to take the Census
of such families where located on the
regular; population schedule, and : at
the sane time to -forward to the
Bureau of Statistics an "Absentee
Family Card" on which will be en-
tered the home. address of this fam-
ily. This information will enable the
'Bureau to transfer the record of such
family or person to their usual abode
or home de jure. 1
