( Furnished by the Department; of Agriculture ) Sanitation of the Brooding Men 'the 'Ontariio 'Br aneh of the '}astern Canada Potato Marketing Brawl. :The object of the association'is to •protect ,growers and to 'afford crest:i co-operation between ' farmers• •and ;the Ontario division of the lefarlceting Board. J. T. Casson, head of the branch, was -selected Chairman •of a committee 'to- undertake organization week. - According to L. F. Burrows, chair- man of the Eastern Canada•Potato Meeketing Board, who attended • the Queen's Pask conference, growers present expressed the opinion that through the operation of the board and its Ontario branch thousands of dollars of additional revenue had flowed into the'po•ckets' of the farm- ers in the Province. • Since the first of February this year 500 less carloads •of New Bruns- wick potatoes and 200fewer carloads of the Prince Edward Island product have entered Ontario. It ie also es- timated that in the past year the Ontario farmer has marketed 50 per cent. more potatoes in the Province than in any of the past ten years,. The benefit to the Ontario potato grower, Mr. Burrows 'said, has been mainly t hrough the action -of the Ontario branch in pegging prices, regulating grading and stipulating that potatoes must be sold.' before shipment to Ontario markets from Ontario farms or from another Pro- vince into Ontario. . Before July 10 a vote will be tak- en among Ontario potato producers an the question of whether or not they are in favor of the continuance of the potato marketing scheme as laid down .btu the Eastern 'Ontario' board and the Ontario branch.

The seeding of some 25,000' grain plots at: the Central Etcperimental Farm was begun en April 30. This was five days earlier than'last year. 'The materials being sown indicates'. many new types and 'hybrid lines of very special interest. • Oats, Millets and Sudan Grass as 'Pasture Crops An experiment was conducted last summer at the Dominion Experhnen- tal Farm, Ottawa, to .cornpare oats, sudan grass and millets as pastures for dairy- cattle.. All ,three were seed , ed about June 1. In this experiment the millets produced the most her- bage, followed by sudan grass• with the oats last. In palatability and protein content, however, the order • was reversed, oats being the best in these respects, followed by sudan grass.. The experiment seemed to indicate that oats were 'the best for early seeding, and that sudan grass was an excellent •supplementary pas- ture crop for seeding about June 1. Winter Billing of Crops One unfavorable factor of the past season, declaresthe Picton Gazette was the winter killing of wheat and clover. Both suffered badly. Muc!i of the wheat had to be reseeded and many fields of clover will have to be plowed up and 'sown to spring grain or planted. ' What makes this, the more serious is the fact that the mea- dows were badly winter killed a year ago last winter. Th'i's resulted in a severe hay shortage last year. With a few old. meadows and severe win- ter killing of new seeding, the hay crop will again be light. Winter killing of meadows is a se- vere loss to the farmer. Grass and clover seed is expensive. It costs a lot of 'money to seed a meadow. Win- ter killing destroys this investment, Ind adds to the acreage to be sown or planted in the spring. At the same time it destroys the plan of crop ro- tation adopted by the best farmers and the evil loses the' renewed fertil- ity furnished by the growing of clov- er. British Apple Market Ontario apples arriving in the Uni- ted Kingdom the latter part of March and during April landed in exbellent condition and met with a good recep- tion, declares Andrew Fulton, over- seas fruit representative.' The mar- ket generally has fully recovered from the February -March depression and. is now quite brisk for some good quality barrelled apples, particularly coloured varieties. Mr. Fulton states that he has never 'seen 'Ontario' ap- ples in better condition at thin time of year. They have been bright, firm and attractive. Most of the ship- ments have been free from scald, due to the packers following his recom'- nrendation in using 1 1-2 lbs. of shredded oil paper in the barrels 'at' the time of the original peeking and promptly placing them in cold stor- age last fall. Mr. Fulton points out that Australian apples have now been arriving in larger quantities and will eventually take care of market re- quirements in the Old Country.

Jennifer shook her head.

D'en' hate me, will you, for being lerutelly frank? But honestly—therets noth ing a bit uplifting in poverty!" . • .Ile frowned. "You're looking a bit, higher than a chap with all his way to make, eh?" he said. "But, after all, there ' is quite a lot to be said for love! I have been thinking, ever since I met you, about a ,certain dream' of mine. I have a Iittle, house and a little garden; I go home there every night and—" "I know the end!' she interrupted. "You are welcomed by the sort of girl who wears a flowered overall ov- er her last year's frock, and knows there are things that even money cannot buy. But in twelve months she'd be wishing she'd married the money!" . "But money usually marries mon- ey," he argued. "however, we'd better be getting along, Almost time for even a sophisticated young wo- man to.be in' bed!" Jennifer followed him into the night, feeling oddly annoyed with herself for being out with this strange young man at all. She knew that he' was half in love with her, but he was just a struggling begin- ner in the firth of electrical engineers where she was employed. It had been foolish to -consent to this visit to the pictures; to let him think for one moment that there was even a remote possibility of her throwing herself away, resigning herself to a lifetime of scraping a- long, •no decent *thee no travel, no fun. 'Clive Petchlow, who had taken her out in his car one memorable 'Satur- day a week or two back, and who had asked her to go to a show one night soon, could give her all the things she longed to have. But some- how she didn't feel too keen about Clive now. This evening had been a mistake, and she resented having al- lowed herself to be persuaded into it. She said good -night to Don out- side the block of buildings where she lived and refused, firmly and coldly, his invitation to "dance somewhere on Saturday evening. During the next few days: she had no time to think about either Don or w: Clive PetchloMr. Peery, her thief, developed 'flu, and she had to carry on single-handed during his absence and to work' early and late. Then, when he was sufficiently re- covered to sit up and do a little busi- ness Jennifer' had to go down to his place in Surrey for instructions, tak- ing with her a number of documents relating to an invention the firm was bringing out. :INTE Bub 'suddenly ,her .eoarage '£ailed. at 'Soft,S.00tsteps were coming down the corridor towards her. Whoever the intender was, he''was 'corning ;to '117x•, - 'Perry's room. Quickck •as thought, she slipped back, switched off ,the light, clutched her ettaehe-case noiselessly and croueh- ed behind the big desk. Her heart pounded. against her ribs; •she could have screamed 'but a I for the fact that her tongue was glued t to the reef ,off 'her imout'h. 'Shc ewes, powerless either to move or 'tt utter a •soiar8. e l She saw a beam of soft light come through the 'doorway, flash round the d I room and on to the ceiling above her head. A torch, 'held'aloft by a quick- ly moving 'hand. The intruder en- tered. Almost frantic with terror, she peer- ed from her hiding place --caw a tall figure in a shabby suit. He let the beam of light play upon the safe, but avoided the desk. r Then Jennifer almost cried out in t feminine relief ,and dismay combin- ed. The man with the torch was no - stranger. Be was Don Richards. For the life of her she could not move or utter a word. She stayed motionless while he turned away a- gain, heard his echoing footsteps go- ing quickly down the corridor, down the stairs, vanishing into silence. The office was in darkness when she got back to town and let herself in. There were certain papers she had to get from Mr. Perry's private safe and prepare for his :chauffeur to take down to Surrey in the morning. There is something errie about a deserted (block of offices with the cheerful lights switched off and noth- ing but the sound of your own foot- steps echoing along the otherwise sil- ent corridors. She snapped on the light in Mr. Perry's rooms, put down her attache - case near the desk, and was turning to the safe when she heard a curious rasping sound, like someone using e file,.in an adjacent room, It sound- ed like Mr.-Bardsley's room—Mr, Perry's partner. Her heart missed a beat. There had been a series of burglaries re- cently, and the last of them had been burglarly—and murder. She crept toward the door, intend- ing to lock it from the inside before she tried to call the police. If the burglar once discovered her, she could easily be overpowered. An icy hand touched her heart. There were certain particulars ofthe new invention in Mr. Bradsley's safe. It would mean a big loss to the firm if these got into the wrong hands. "If I see the burglar," she thought, "I shall be able to identify him. I've got to make myself get along that. passage to the,ether office, .somehow', -make sure who is in there. I've got to save things for Mr. Perry, some- ow!" When, at Iast, she hulled herself together,' she went along the corridor to the ether office. No, nothing out of order there, but there was some- thing on the floor. A shabby old pencil, with "D. R." cut into the side. She picked it up with trembling fingers. What had he taken out of the safe? What would happen when the theft was discovered? Ought she to tell? Of course she must! She must call up the police immediately. But she knew she didn't want to tell anything that would get Den Richards into' trouble. A queer, sharp pain filled her very soul at the idea. Could there possibly be some ex- planation? What ought she to do? She found a duster in a drawer, went over to the safe and rubbed it. Pe•NOMIMMINO•11. THURS., MAY 19, 1935; ARMER camels y. She must do everything she could' to ;.save him}, Bet ,there was the firm,. She couldn't let Mr. Perry' dowun. Swiftly She made up her mind. Sho, Would go after Don, tell him.- she knew, beg him to, go back, put what- ever he had stolen into the safe once more. She knew that he had a small flat near Radford Square. She made her way there, slowly. She hated letting him know what she had seen, but she must. As she ciimibed the stone stairs she remembered that she had promised to dine with Clive Petchlow tonight; he would have been round to call for her, would be thinking her a quite irn:- possible person. WieIn, let him think. She knew now that Clive would never matter any more; that, all the time, if only Den had been just all she had told herself he was, instead of a thief, she would have shared all the hard going, the elinulbing, any amount of ups and downs with him, and gloried in it. But what did that mat- ter now? She reached the top landing. She knocked gently, but nobody came. Then she noticed something else. Don, with characteristic carelessness, had left his keys dangling fromthe lock. Anyone might walk right in. And that was exactly what ' Jen- nifer did, He was at the telephone. "Well, I've managed it," he was saying. "Yes, I'll be with you to- morrow night—eight sharp! No. of course, I haven't left any sort of trace! Too wary a bird for that! Good -nightly He turned to stare at Jennifer, standing just inside the door. "I've come to tell you that I know —all about everything tonight," she said. He put down the •receiver. "The dickens you do! Well?" She leant heavily against the back of a chair, her face white and drawn. "Well, there is only one thing. You are going back to the office with 'me now, if you please. You are go- ing to put back what it is you've tak- en out -stolen." "I say that's putting it pretty hot and strong, isn't it?" said Don. "What evidence have you—" "I have the evidence of my own ears," she said fiercely. "I was in M. Perry's office. I thought you Were just, someone who had broken into the place. I was hiding behind the desk when you came and looked round. And"—her voice broke a lit- tle, suddenly -.-"I; picked up this on, the floor in front of the safe. in IVir. Bardsley's offiee.
