DR. SAUNDERS
Thirty years after the discovery of
Marquis wheat Dr. C. E. Saunders
receives the highest of all the honors
that have been conferred on him—a
knighthood conferred by Ring. George
on the occasion of the birthday •of
His Majesty. Dr. Saunders is now
'Sir Charles Saunders and in the re-.
tirement of his home in Toronto, re-
ceives the congratulations of person-
al friends. , When told of this new
distinction, the tall slender dignified
gentleman -of sixty-seven years show-
ed his appreciation, first by a smile
and then remarked that it was quite
amazing. He could only explain it
by the .fact that the West looms
large in the publie eye and the con-
tribution he has been able to make to
the farming interests there.
The life work of Sir Charles Saune
-dors dates back to 1888 when he
'graduated. He studied later at John
Hopkins university and specialized in
'chemistry at Harvard: All this did
not indicate that he was become a
farmer or to snake his mark' as a
wheat . breeding expert. Habits of
<careful patient work were however
'developed in handling the test tubes
In the laboratory and this was later
applied to good effect in the sampling
of grain at the Central Experimental
Farms. The story of wheat breeding
at Ottawa goes back to the time of
'the appointment of Dr. Wm. Saund-
ers as head of the Ekperimental
'Farms system. That was forty-six
;;years ;ago when the West was still.
'depending on the East for varieties
of grcern. One of sorts sorts taken to
.
the prairies was the Red Fife, regard-
'ed at the irrie as the' .be'st' mihing
wheat. Other types of hard wheat,
notably the Calcutta, were brought
front the old land and the work of
crossing of hybridizing began. When
Dr. Win. Sounder's son, Charles, was
appointed cerealist in 1903 there were
several hundred new strains that'• had
to be carefully examined and selec-
tions made therefrom. It was a ted-
ious process even for one who was
accustomed to the technical details of
a chemical laboratory. There were
various characters to be looked for in
these grains but most important of
all was to get a grain that eves high
in protein and ripening early; enough
to escape frost. To determine rough-
ly the quantity of gluten and the
bread making quality of the kernels
were chewed and the elasticity or
strength of the resulting gum noted.
A great difference was seen in the
gluten of • the various kinds 'of wheat
subjected to the hest, even in heads
of grain which looked alike.
As a result of this test Mr. Saund-
ers Jr. as he was then known, plant-
ed little blots of wheat with different
types of grain and from this experi-
ment he selected two heads which he
called Marquis. This grain did not
grow exceptionally well in the east,
but in view of its peculiarily fine
qualities he continued to experiment
with the two heads. One was.subse-
quently rejected and the other head
he developed as the 'parent seed or°
the grain now known all over the
world as Marquis wheat. About one.
hundred varieties of wheat were de-
veloped`in this manner and 'to' test
them thoroughly ghlY there e were`estab-
lished at the Experimental Farm, Ot-
tawa, a small 'Boar mill and bakery.`

Preparations are on foot for a real
celebration to be held Labor Day,
sponsored by the Men's Club. It will be
held at Porter's Hill ball grounds, ad-
joining the church. Two softball
games will ba played during the af-
ternoon, also pillow fight, etc., etc. A

joy a good afternoon of sports.
Miss Helen Rumball of Clinton is
visiting her friend, Irene Woods.
Harvesting is almost over for an-
other year and threshing,is'the order
of the day. The gram is a fairly
good sample. The root crops /Rem-
ises to be a bumper one and corn a-
bove the average. This will help
make up for shortage in hay crop.
337,400 bushels compared with 749,-
850 bushels in 1933.
Red and white varieties of- grapes
show a large decrease in yield over
Last year due chiefly to the extent
of freezing back which occurred in
those varieties. The roots, however,
were not killed and the vines will
bear next year. Blue greens promise
an average yield. Owing to the good
spraying practice being carried out
the Hopper damage has been largely
confined to graperies where thorough
spraying was not done. The gener-
al growth of vines and fruit is good.
The grape crop is estimated at 38,-
449,600 pounds against 41,420,000
pounds in 1933.
A very heavy rainstorm which
passed .over the fruit district on Au -
guest 19th caused a large amount of
damage to small fruits. Between
Hamilton and Grimsby Beach early
reports stated that as high as e5 per
cent of the pear and plum crops fell
orf the trees. The loss west of
Grimsby Beach was not as great.
Peaches we're not affe0ted to nearly
the same extent as plums and pears.
The downpour provided much needed
moisture supplies for sizing fruit:
which escaped injury.
Average prices received by

Walton Wins Football
Championship of Huron
Walton won the Huron football
crown here Aug, 17 by defeating
Brucefield •2e-1 before the largest.
crowd seen here in many years. The
fans were crowded around the field
three and four deep. The game was
all that c ould be desired in a decid-
ing tilt. The teams were evenly mat-,
ched, with Walton getting the break
when Carter scored the first goal on
a penalty kick W, Papple had caused
by getting his arm in the way of the
ball,
Walton bore down heavily right
at the opening and caused 'Brueefield
plenty of trouble by Keeping the ball
in their area. Johnstone kicked the
ball toward the goal . and Papple
touched it with his arm. -Rae Carter
took the penalty kick and grounded
it hotly to left hand corner of the
goal after 23 minutes of play. '

Rutherford tied the count eight min.
utes later. Rogerson deserves most
of the credit for Brucefield's goal, as
he played the ball from his own half-
back

made a perfect pass to Rutherford.
Lorne Steiss kicked the winning goal
with only twelve minutes of the se-
cond half left.
The Brucefield team made a Iast
minute rally and came through with
a sensational finish that had the Wal-
ton boys working overtime. The
Brucefield fans cheered lustily but the
Walton team bunched around the goal
and ]sept clearing down the field. Nei-
ther side spared themselves and
avorked hard right to the last whistle.
It was a wonderful game to finish
a very successful season for the Ste-

ON REDUCING
Some energetic people like ,
To pump for miles upon a bike;
To step, each morning, blithe and
bold
Into a shower, freezing cold.
I loll in baths so nice and hot -1
But I grow plump, and they do not,
Anne strives and worries to keep slim
And slaves to have a figure trim;
She takes most violent exercise
And all sweet stuff herself denies,
She keeps her figure and all that
I keep my comforts and grow fat.
On grapefruit juice her fast she
breaks,
I fry myself some juicy steaks.
To lie in bed late, she would sewn;
I rise at ten o'clock each morn.
Yet she knows not the, joy I feel
After a huge and hearty meal.
In evening dress she looks divine,
The seams are all burst out in mine;
And in a bathing suit she's charming,
The tightness of mine is alarming..
Her figure's lovely, there's no doubt;
But I eat hearty, and grow stout.
It seems too great a sacrifice
To do without all stun. that's nice
Ansi exercise with allyour might
Simply to have a figure slight,
Life is so short and time so fleeting,
Too short a time is left for eating.
