Practical proof of this statement is given by the results of a 500 bushel per acre contest held by the potato committee of the South Simcoe Branch of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association. Three growers who entered the contest succeeded in attaining the n1,iecti=-e of 500 1lnshels per acre. They were Herb Dunn, Cookstown, who produced 516 bushels on a r le tsw'e1 act e; Oscar Whiteside, Ilg- b, rt, with 512 bushels and 3, Nicol Wilson, Alliston, with 507.6 bushels. 'dr. Duren, the winner, was presented with a handsome gold watch and each received a certificate of merit fqr their outstanding achievements.

Tho result has been a noticeable improvement in the qual- ity of tubers and also an increase in production per acre in such cases. Millions of Acres Need Attention "It is exceedingly unfortunate that we know so relatively little about Canadian soils and their potentiali- ties" states Dr. E. S. Archibald, Dir- ector, Dominion Experimental Farm Service,"We are aware of course, that given favorable seasonal condi- tions, Canadat's soil production pot- entialities are still enormous, as was demonstrated in 1941 and still more in 1942, Nevertheless, soil surveys are beginning' to show many poten- tial weaknesses and danger signals. "Sum -marginal soils o £the Prairie Provinces, through the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, have already been taken out of cultural agricul- ture, to -the ,extent 01 a million and a half acres, with probably another two million acres to follow. To a les- ser extent, this applies to the East- ern Provinces where there are but seventeen million crop acres in farm- ing and this acreage includes very large numbers of deserted farms which either originally, or at least now, are so sub -marginal that prices of agricultural products would have to be phenomenally high before a living could be made from them. Many million acres of really good Canadian soil are getting out of kir-, ter and need the closest study and attention. Great Britain, as a war measure, took stock of every farm as to its soil or soils, its greatest production, its greatest suitability for production and especially as to what it might produce to meet food emergencies during the war.

He came to her shop every night at closing time and she gave him her bag with the day's tak- lrlgs to carry home, The bag was heavy, and this prompted her lover to remark; "Von surely do a big trade, seeing you always have such a heavy bag." "0h, yes." was the modest reply. "I have a. pretty good business."
