( + urnished by the Department of Agriculture)
. Record Crop Peaches in
Ontario and B. C.
Bumper', drops of peaches are be-
ig picked this • season in Ontario and
British Columbia. A preliminary
estimate places the 1939 crop in On-
tario at ; more than 650,000bushels,
a 15 per increase over the 1938
exop, which Was a good one, and in
British Columbia at 143,000 bushels,
10 per cent more than Wast year.
This year's peaches, now on the mar-
ket, are of the very highest quality,
for conditions' have been particularly
favourable for producing large,
luscious fruit.
Of all the fruits grown, none is
more delectable or more healthful
as food, than peaches, whether eat-
en just as they are picked sun -ripe
from the trees as fresh fruit,` in
peach salads, or in the many- other
ways they can be served fresh, pre-
served, or even pickled. In every
way they are delicious. Canadian
peaches cannot be excelled for flav-
aur and quality. Theycan be bought
now and until the end of September
and are sold in Canada by grade, the
grades in the order of quality and
size being --Select, No. 1, No. 2 or
Domestic, and No. 3. The grade
Mark is plainly indicated on the
basket or other container.
Control of Poultry
External Parasites
.Though next to impossible to avoid
external parasites in poultry during
the summer months, as they may be
introduced to the flock and premises
by wild birds, these pests, red mites
and lice, are comparatively easy to
detect and control. As dirty and un-
sanitary conditions are usually re-
sponsible for heavy infestation, the
avoidance or removal of these agents
may go far towards reducing the
risk. Lice live entirely on the body
of the bird, their eggs' are laid at
'the base of the feathers, and they
irritate by crawling and biting. Their
favorite habitat is around the vent,
head and under the wing where the
skin is most tender. By using simple
plrecautione the flock may be kept
free and clean. The usual practice
at the Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion Harrow, Ontario, states W. T.
Scott, Head Poultryman, i s to ex-
amine the birds at intervals and if
the presence of pests is detected to
apply blue ointment, which can be
bought at any drug store. A portion
of the ointment about the size of a
pea is smeared between the thumb
and first and second fingers and
rubbed around the vent, head and
under the wing. A careful applica-
tion will usually keep the flock clean
for some considerable time.
With regard to mites in the
poultry house, as a rule these pests
do not stay on the birds. Their
habitation is in some crack or crev-
ice or under the roosts and in nests,
from whence they prey on the birds
at night by gorging themselves with
blood. Their control is comparatively
simple. A good and thorough clean
up of the premises and an applica-
tion by spray of a mixture of one
pound of 'pyrethrum powder and two
gallons of coal oil will be most ef•
fective.
Clay Loam Best for Oat
Production
Results Shown by Tests at Experi.
mental Farm
A clay loam proved to bo the best
type of soil for the production of
oats according to the. first annual
report of a five year experiment lie -
Mg conducted by Mr. J. C. Steckley,
superintendent of the Western On-
tario Experimental Farm, Ridgetown.
Mr. Steckley is using his experi-
ment to draw two conclusions; which
of four type of oats will produce the
beat under general field conditions
and to ascertain which type of (soil
is best suited for the production of
oats. , I
The types of oats being used in the
experiment are: Alaska, Vanguard,
Dwban and Banner. An exact acre
plot of each type of oats was planted
on a gravel -loam soil and a similar
plot of each tYPe of a clay -loam soil.
Each of the eight acre plots were
harvested, kept separate and thresh-
ed separate, The record as kept by
Thomas White of the staff has been
announced and the oats grown an the
clay loam were in ,some cases nine to
12 bushels to the acre higher.

A similar experiment was carried
on with four types of bbarley and this
year Mr. Steckley completed the sec-
ond year of the five year experiment.
'.Phe yield per acre of the four types
was: fall barley, 56 bushels; the
Spartori, two -rowed barley which last
year yielded slightly better Phan the
fall type, 53 bushels; the No. -Barb
yielded 51 bushels 'and the Peatand
which last year beat the No -Barb
gave 48 bushellsto the acre.
The Effect 'of Soil Erosion
Erosion is probably the greatest
single factor causing loss of soil
fertility. A large percentage of the
available plant food in soil is present
in the weathered surface layer, and
may be permanently lost, through the
removal of that layer by erosion. A
familiar example gray be observed
in the loss of prod'uetivity caused
by the !formation of gullies. The
loss which accompanies the gradual,
uniform' removal of surface soil by
sheet erosion may be .less apparent
than in gullying, but is no less real.
The effect of sheet erosion in re-
ducing soil fertility is clearly demon-
strated by the results of an experi-
ment which has been in progress
for four years on, the Central Experi-
mental Farm, Ottawa, states Wm.
Dickson, of the Field Husbandry
Division. In this experiment the ef-
fect on crop growths of varying de-
grees of erosion has been determined
by growing barley on plots from
which different amounts of the sur-
face soil has been removed. , This
dark surface soil is approximately
seven inches deep. overlying lighter
coloured subsoil. For the four-year
period of the experiment the follow-
ing average yields per acre of barley
have been secured from unfertilized
land: no surface soil removed, 39.5
bushels; three inches of surface soil
removed, 32.7 bushels; six inches of
surface soil removed, 18.0 bushels;
and all surface soil removed, 5.2
bushels. These results indicate that
the loss in productivity accompany-
ing soil erosion has increased rapidly
in proportion to the depth of surface
soil removed, the productivity of ex-
posed subsoil being less than one-
seventh that of undisturbed amface
soil.
In the same experiment, where
fertilizer equivalent to 220 pounds
per acre of a 4-8-6' mixture was
I drilled in with the seed, the average
yields of barley were as follows: no
surface soil removed, 52.4 bushels; 3
inches removed, 43.3 bushels; 6 in,
removed, 28.2 bushels; all surface
soil removed, 14.0 bushels per acre.
It will be seen that the fertilizer
used in this experiment has compen-
sated in part only for the losses
caused by erosion. Moreover, the
fertilizer has been less effective in
restoring productivity on completely
eroded than on undisturbed sail, the
corresponding increases in yield per
1 acre being 8.8 and 12.9 bushels
respectively.
The foregoing results suggest the
'importance of employing soil -con-
serving crops such as sod -forming
hay, and of soil saving cultural
practices, such as across the slope
tillage wherever danger of erosion
exists. The fertile layer of surface
soil is the result of centuries of
weathering and biological action, and
its replacement when lost may prove
a slow and costly process. .

The Common St. John's Wort is
a persistent perennial weed which is
rapidly becoming established
throughout Ontario on roadsides, old
meadows and pastures, states John
D. MacLeod., weed exphrt, OOjtaria
Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto.
The weed is propagated by means
of seed and slender, creeping, under-
ground rootstalk. 11'he sten a are
clustered, with wood at the base, and
one to two feet high; leaves, without
stents, are opposite; flowers, yellow
in loose clusters, the petals having
black dots on the margin,
No 'difficulty is experienced with
St. John's Wort on land which is
thoroughly cultivated and which is
kept under a shoat rotation of crops.
Break any badly infested pasture
fields and cultivate thoroughly. Do
not reseed to any crop until this
weed has been eradicated, advises
Mr. MacLeod.
Prevent seed production byspud-
ing scattered plants or mowing or
spraying. Experience has proven
that this weed will spread rapidly
and smother out all ether vegetaa-
tion. Insist on having adjoining
I{roperty and roadsides cleaned up.
Spraying with chemicals has proven
effective. Weed inspectors will give
information on the proper use of
chemicals.

The hired waiter threaded his way
clumsily through the guests throng-
ing Lady Kenilworth's sballroom and
p ucked Bruce Askew'' earnestly by
the sleeve.
"You're wanted in the 'all
sir."
Askew's eyes narrowed and he
glanced nervously towards the door-
way.
"Very well," he said shortly, and
followed the waiter into the compare
atively deserted hall.
"What is it? Cops?"
"No," the waiter replied, scorn-
fully. "Say, you don't need ane on
this job. She's walking around with
the ice on her neck -- all we need
do is get her outside and snatch it."
Askew looked hastily around.
'And that's what you risked fetch-
ing em out here for?" he snapped.
"You may be the best safebuster in
the country, but brains don't seem to
be your strong point, Shorty. If it
was as simple as that, what the
deuce do you think I took the trou-
ble to get you in here for?"
"But I tell you she's wearing 'em
now."
"Yoga know my reputation, Shorty.
When I go after jewels I get them.
Jimmy the Frenchman tried what
you suggest eighteen months ago.
Lady Kenilworth is• a muscular wo-
man—he only got three years. But
her ladyship was so upset she swore
she would never wear the jewels
again; she had a first-class set of
imitations! made and has kept the
real ones locked in the safe ever
since.
"1 want you," Askew concluded,
"to be in the bedroom corridor at
eleven sharp — the fun will be start-
ing down here then. You've broug'ht
all you'll need? Then seram out of
this=we cant' afford to be talking."
Back To The Music
Patting the perfect bow of his tie
with a well -manicured hand, Askew
strolled coolly back Itowardsi the
music. It certainly had been almost
too easy to obtain this invitation
and to get Shorty inside as a waiter.
Was it just possible that he had
walked into a trap?
Por the next hour, as he danced
.and chatted in his own charming
manner, his eyes were restlessly
searching the rooms — two uneasy-
looking men he instantly classified
as private detectives, but of official
"dicks" he saw no sign. And from
time to time he glanced critically
at the glittering diamonds draped
on Lady Kenilworth's ample person
like tinsel on a Christmas tree, Good
imitations they undoubtedly were,
but certainly not good enough to• de-
ceive his expert appraisal. Whereas
the real jewels should be worth at
least ten thousand pounds — and his
scheme for disposing of Shorty,
when that craftsman had completed
his share of the job, was perfect.
It was just before eleven o'clock
when he .sidled from -the ballroom
and made his way up 'the magnifi-
cent staircase. The time was well
chosen, for the upper part of the
house seemed ;leserted, and Shorty,
in his ill-fitting dress suit, was
skulking in a shadowy corner.
"O.K.?" Askew asked. "This is
the room."
Pulling on his gloves, he opened a
door and they stepped into Lady
Kenilworth's bedroom. •
"The safe," he whispered, "is be-
hind that picture. I shall watch
this door if I tell you someone is
coming, grab your tools and get un-
der the bed."
"But what about you?"
Safe-kreaker
"Never .mind that — I'll explain
myself away."
Askew locked the door to the
bathroom and then, opening the
main door a few inches, stood peer-
ing into the corridor while Shorty
produced various sets . of safe -
breaking equipment from his capa-
cious pockets. Swinging the picture
aside on its binges, he studied the
formidable -looking door of the cir-
cular safe and then began slowly
turning•the combination dial.
''Estrtya" he boasted after a mo-
meat. "I shan't want 'soup' or tools.
I'll have this jug open inside of five
minutes."
"Good. Only hurry, man, hurry,"
Askew replied, irritably,
Stolidly, systematically, as if .he
were a workman at his bench, Shor-
ty's strong, glovedhandscontinued
turning the dial while, with his ear
pressed to the door, he listened to
the clicking of the tumblers.
In a fever of impatience, Askew
stood looking from the corridor to
his watch and then to the stocky
figure beside the safe,
"Three minutes," he hissed, "Hur-
ry up.
But Shorty, intent on las work,
was rapidly jotting down figures on
a piece of paper and gave no sign of
hearing. The craftsman gave the
dial a few more twists and swung'
round with a grin of satisfaction.
Double -Crossed
"I'ts open," the (daid,. laconically,
and, pulling• on the knob, swung open
the heavy little door.
•
"Good Work," Askew whispered.
After a hasty glance up and down
the empty corridor' le closed and
locked the door. And as be did so,
he pulled from his trouser ppoket a
vicious -looking rubber truncheon.
With one blowhewould ensure that
Shorty stayed unconscious until he
was found beside the rifled safe.
"Hurry up," he urged again, walk-
ing across the room with one hand
behind his back.
The craftsman had already
snatched the jewels ease from the
safe and tossed them on the bed.
With hasty fingers he . tore them
open and extracted two exquisite
diamond bracelets, a diamond -set
watch, a necklace, earrings and nu-
merous rings. One by one he drop-
ped them on the silk counterpane,
where they lay glittering like some-
thing alive.
Askew's eyes were shining, too,
Behind the cracksman's 'bent back
he took a firmer grip on the truneh-
eon. Swiftly he raised his arm. '
But some sixth sense must have
warned Shorty at the last moment,
for he leapt aside and spun' around.
As if by magic his hand held a .45
automatic.
"I knew it, he snarled. "You dir-
ty double-crosser. Thought you
were going to grab these and leave
me to take the rap, eh?"
Askew backed hastily away.
"Nothing of the kind, my dear
fellow. I . I think there's some-
one outside. I was going to slug
them as they came M. Listen .. .
Though he looked meaningly to-
wards the door, the trick was too
old to catch an experieneed hand
such as Shorty.
"Yeah? "We'll split (fifty-fifty,"
says you. I know—the sparklers for
you and fifty months' hard form."
While he spoke the eracksman
was hastily reaching on to the bed
and stuffing the jewels in his pock-
ets, but all the while his gun point-
ed unerringly at Askew's ,stomach.
"You daren't shoot, anyway."
Askew was regaining' confidence.
His only possible hope was to play
for time and trust that some trick
or other might yet win him the day.
"It would rouse the house. And,
talking of double-crossers, what are
you doing with a gun anyway?"
"This," Shorty spat through
clenched teeth as with a lightning
bound he leapt forward and crashed
the butt of the gun on Askew's head.
Hero in Spite of Himself
Hideous circles of pain seemed
flowing• up his spine: his aching head
felt about to burst somehow he fore -
ed his eyes open "Wlil he live, doc-
tor?" Lady Kenilworth asked, anx-
iously.
"Hell be right enough in a cou-
ple of days," said the "fan who knelt
beside him. "He's conscious again
now."
Yes, he was conscious. He looked
bittely around the bedroom, His
wonderful plan had miscarried and
his body instead of Shorty's had
been found beside the empty safe.
He had been caught in his own snare
and the price would be . . . two
years? Perhaps five.
"Thank Heaven," Lady Kenilworth
gushed. "Ma dear Mr. Asgew, it
wag marvellous of you to make such
a gallant attempt to save my jewels.
Uafkfortunately„ the ,creature i gust
away after all."
Almost before his aching head
could grasp the interpretation that
had been put on his presence beside.
the safe, he felt himself being car-
ried'to another bedroom. In the
corridor fragments of conversation
floated toahis ears. "Fine show ,
hard lines the....cove got away....
must have put up a good fight."
The takes faded and, as he was
gently laid on a bed, he tried to
summon a suitably heroic expression.
"What about — your jewels?" he
anted.
The bed springs groaned again as
Lady Kenilworth leaned down to
whistler.
"Really, my dear Mr. Agnew, you
mustn't worry. I feel I ought to
explain to you."
Askew stared up at the diamonds
glittering so close to his aching eyes
—undoubtedly they were first-class
paste, and he sot his teeth as he
thought of Shorty hastening Lon-
donwards with the genuine articles.
But Lady Kenilworth was babbling

"An attempt was' made to snatch
my jewels at a party about eighteen
months ago—it all received perfect-
ly horrible publicity. And I was
so nervous that I had a set of paste
jewels made and wore them in-
stead.
Askew's' fascinated eyes still star-
ed at the paste necklace swinging
from that vast bosom. Anyone but
an expert might well have mistaken
them for the real thing.
"But evid'entI•y someone knew
about that, tot, for soon afterwards
a very nearly successful attempt the made on e safe wlhere the

A FISH STORY
How is this for a fish story: Ar-
nold Phillips, 13 -year-old son of Mrs.
Blanche Phillips, was fishing off the
bridge at Auburn. He felt the line
tighten and began pulling it in. The
line broke and Arnold raced to the
end of the bridge, ran down the onr-
bankment and jumped into the river
with his clothes on and caught the
fish before it got away. The fish,
which was a black bass, measured 17
inches and weighed two Ibs.
