Now's Best Time To Sow Potatoes Plant Them Before May 18th —Later Plantings Result in Lower Yields, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture Tests Show When is the proper time to plant (potatoes? Results of experiments conducted in Middlesex and South Simcoe in- dicate that from the 13th to the 25th of May is the most desirable time to plant, says, the Out. Dept. of A.gricuiture. These -results are supported by similar finds at the Ontario Agricultural O o 11 e g e, Guelph, and the Central Eimer; mental Farm, Ottawa. ' The tests showed that potatoes planted May 18th, yielded 274 bush- ele of marketable potatoes per acre. The yield dropped to 243 bushels Per acre when planted May 26th, nue 224 bushels when planted June 2. Potatoes planted June 10th show- ed an average of only -198 bushels per acre. SPRAYING AND DUSTING The value of proper and consist- ent spraying has also become an established fact. Spray and dist experiments with potatoes at Ridge- town Experimental rano for eight successive years have shown that plots thoroughly sprayed and dust- ed five tithes dewing the growing season, gave an average increased yield of approximately 28 per cent more marketable potatoes thau un- sprayed or undusted plots. There is no staple article of food lhrouglrt into the average home that bas greater appeal to the housewife than good, bright, clean potatoes of a uniform size and free :trona bruises and diseaee, Toronto -New York Air Mail Service Letters Now Take Only Two Hours to Make the Trip An Air Mail Service has now been established between Toronto and New 'York both ways.

Warmest April i Speeds Crops In Ontario Domestic Aspar- agus, Among Other Vege- tables, Was on Dinner Tables Far Ahead of the Usual Time Ontario's warmest April in 09 years advanced the province's crops to such a point that some domestic products of the earth are on sale at public markets, anywhere from two to four weeks ahead of Last' year. Resides relieving a feed shortage, the early season resulted in the ap- pearance of domestic asparagus, .. among other vegetables on provin- . alai dinner tables far ahead of the banal time. Vegetables, as a whole, etre about nt a month o th ahead of recent ears and Ontario Department apartment. cf Agriculture officlals are of the op - Piton that this is the earliest itt history such products have been available for tale and consump- tion. otsumptioil. EARLIEST IN HISTORY? Along with asparagus, rhubarb also made ,a ,reoor'd early appear- nce and today domestic rhubarb competing with the imported variety In Ontario's produce mar- kets. Tmoorted rhubarb usually held the market until after the middle of May when it retired in favor of the home-grown product. Lettuce, caewots and radishee are expected soon, ahead of the usual time. Grain crops in general are three weeks in advance of last year, but, according to the agriculture de Partment, farmers expect a curtail- ment of acreage in grain and cul- tivated crops because of a labor shortage. A department official said that the difference in acreage will go into hay and pasturage. FEAR OF FROST Iu the Niagara peninsula :fruit blossoms were two weeks la ad- vance of last year -but, prop offi- cials pointed out, there is always a danger of frost so early in the eeason and fruit growers actually preter to see their blooms appear later. Canadian National. Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways System for the nine da. � ys y period ending April 30, 1941, were $7,912,856 as compared with n 'n $5,620,850 for the corresponding g 1 period of 1940, an increase of $2,292,006 or 40.8%. . Using Canada's Surplus Goods In the Women's Building at the 1941 C,N.E. Emphasis Will be Laid on Increased Uae of Canadian Products Mrs, Kate M. Aitken, director of Women's Activities at the Canadian National Exhibition, who. is now preparing for the 1941 show, is stressing particular- ly the use of Canadian products. Consistently throughout the Wo- men's prize list she has urged en- trants to employ Canadian goods in every possible instance: from dolls' dresses totea biscuits, from afghans to apple pie. In the C.N.E. Cooking School (2.30 p.m. and 8.00 'pm. daily in the Elec- trical Building), the preparation and use of Canadian- goods will be the dominant theme at every 'session. By boosting our own goods, Mrs, Aitken believes, we express our patriotic feeling in a worth- while way; we encourage improve- ment in the quality of Canadian P10 ndt ; we increase const m - tion and help reduce the wartime surplus., Blitz Boats in the Balkans Prepared for the blasted bridges they figured they'd find in Greece, eff cient Germans brought along their blitz boats for speedy crossings.

The drink is chocolate flavored, if you wish, and tasty. The new drink offers two tools to doctors, One is to make cer- tain:that no essential protein is missing front a person's diet, The other is to give proteins to those persons whose bodies, because of illness, fail to absoib the pro- teins front meals. AIR-RAID DEATH CAUSES Peculiar and unexplained ef- fects of air-raid explosions were discussed at a recent meeting of the Royal Academy of Medicine in London, Professor Geoffrey Hadfield reported that in thirty autopsies he had made of air-raid fatalities eight cases showed no external causes of death, In same cases air passages in the lungs were filled with blood, but there was no sign of rupture of the Iungs. There was, however, a high degree of carbon -monoxide saturation in the blood. Profes- sor S. Zuckerman,. of Oxford, re,. ported that it has been known since the Spanish civil war that blasts of high explosives could kill or injure people without causing external injuries..

HAVE f ®°U ,E-A. D ? An American as w defeated sed i - 1; nominiously when he ran for the office of sheriff. He got 55 votes out of a total of 3,500, and the next day he walked down Main Street with two guns „hanging from his belt. "You were not elected and you have no right to carry guns," fel- low citizens told frim, "Listen folks," he replied, "a man with no more friends than. I've got in this country needs to ca'rr'y guns." "Why sometimes I'm taken for my own daughter." "Nonsense! You don't look old' enough to have a daugh- ter so old." The circus and fun fair was visiting a small town, and one old Negro had taken a fancy to the merry-go-round. Round and round he went, never seeming to tire, until all his money was gone. Then only did he dismount to rejoin his wife, who had been watching hiin with impatient eyes. "Well, Ebenezer," shd said, "you sure have spent your money and had a good ride. But where you been, Ebenezer, where you been?" Wife: "I went in to a bar- gain sale today." Husband: "Did you. ice anything thatlookedreal cheap?" Wife: "Yes, several men waiting for their wives." "What's the matter, my little man?" asked a sympathetic stran- gerof a small boy whoni he saw crying in the street. - "Please, sir,' my dog's dead," sobbed the boy: "Well," said . the man, "you mustn't make such a trouble of it. My grandmother died last week, and I'm not crying." . "No," said the boy, "but you didn't bring her up from a pup," Motor Salesman: "Can I show you something, sir?" Pedestrians "NoI'm not here to buy, anything. - But it's such a vidnderfui change to be in the midst of all these cars without having to dodge them." II Ow CUR I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I keep a house plant supplied with water., when going away for a few days? A. Soak a Large sponge well with water, and place it on the dirt in the pot. The plant will absorb enough water to keep it fresh until you return. Q. How can I clean smeary ma- hogany furniture? A. First sponge with a cloth dipped in a solution of hot water and vinegar, and then with a cloth dipped in a 'pint of warm water to which one teaspoon each of linseed oil and turpentine has been added. Follow this by pol- iehing with a soft, dry cloth. Q. How can I prevent cauli- flower from darkening when be- ing boiled? A. Add a slice of lemon to the water. Q. How should I dye a sweater? A.

IIotiv can I remove unsight- ly stains on the hands, caused by paring vegetables? A. Use a little raw tomato juice to retrieve these stains. Lemon juice can be used for the same purpose.

WORTH TRYING' , Wax' Name For Baby Dates It Like Printing Year Of Birth 0n Brow, Says One Who Knowe Advice to women about naming their babies cones from a British writer who, though refusing to give his own name, says he was a war •victim in that sense at the time of his own birth. "Do not saddle- the baby with a war name," he pleads, saying he is speaking on behalf of those' who cannot defend themselves, "There are thousands of babies. born and unborn, who are: in int- minent ,clanger of being christen- ed Birdie, Libya, Eritrea, Derna, Dunkerque, Wavell and other such names after battles and battle- ships. It is even possible that some will be Bugbuq Jones or Solium Smith." ALL USE ARITHMJDTIC Nothing dates a person like be- ing given a war name, "I met a young lady recently whose Chris- 1 tian name was Verdun," he said. "In spite of myself my mind was Boon occupied with a very ungal dant piece of arithmetic." Giving a baby a war, name is like printing a date on his fore- head. Already, he says, there are Bt;tish babies named Siren, Sir - eerie, Dunkerqueand one boy has been called Bomber because an unexploded bomb lay in the back- yard at the time -of his 'birth. Britain Gets Canadian Eggs Gigantic Order of 5,400,000 Dozen to Go Overseas Thls Month Receipt of an order from the British Food Ministry for ship- ment to. the United Kingdom of 5,400,000 dozen Canadian eggs before the end. of this month was announced'' by the newly -formed special products board late in April, coincident with a measure to assure fulfilment of the con- tract, "The quantity of eggs involved in this order," the board's state- ment said, almost doubles the volume ever before exported in one month and 10111 tax the full capacity 01 existing poultry stocks. • REQUISITIONING FOR EXPORT "As any abtornal movement of eggs into storage in Canada might interfere with the filling of this order, anorder-in-council has been passed under the War Mea- sures Act," The order provides that starting immediately, and until June 10 this year, eggs may be placed in storage in Canada only under storage permits issued by the board. The board, established to deal with agricultural exports to Great Britain not covered by the bacon board or the Dairy Products Board, also announced it might requisition for export purposes eggs placed in storage under board permit. Terms of the contract call for the ministry to pay from 23 to 244i. cents a dozen foa the eggs, payable when delivered on board ship at Montreal, packed ready for export, Rubies of the colour ]mown in the trade as "pigeon's blood" are worth a much higher price than diamonds of the same size. THAT'S MY CHEW Modern Etiquette V ROBERTp LEE EY ROI3ERTA LEE 1. When a house guest has permission from her hostess to in- vite a friend to dinner, or some other affair, by whom should the invitation be extended? 2. What should one do when he finds that another person's opinion is directly opposed to his own?' 3, What is considered the best decoration for any room of the house? 4. What is the correct way for a man to lift a soft hat when speaking to a gird? 5. Isn't it very unwise for a girl to write some words of en- dearment on a photograph of her- self that she is giving to a young man? 6. Shouldn't one be grateful when a friend has pointed out to him a very glaring fault that should be corrected? Answers 1. All tit"itations should come front the hostess. 2. Change the subject of conversation, Above all, do not argue. 3. freshly -cut flowers, attractively arranged will outrank any other decoration. 4. The hat should be lifted by the crown, not the brim. And above all, the hat should be lifted alight- ly, Ytouch not merely a of the brim, 5. Yes; it is very unwise. She may regret it many times in the future. 6. Yes. But, sad as it seems, resentment: instead of gratitude is usually the effect, and very often a lost friendship.
