Just about a. year ago I passed
along to readers of this column.
news of a Montana experiment in
The mutter of feeding skint or
powdered milk to young jtotnato
plants. In so doing I unintentionally
laid myself open to some of the
finest 'needling' I have ever ex-
perienced—and I might say that,
in my time, I have been needled by
experts,
The whole trouble was—well, you
know the old Scots saying about
the children of the busy shoemaker
always running barefoot. And I had
been so busy preaching the possi-
bilities of milk -fed tomatoes to
others that I clean neglected to do
anything about my own,
* # *
But why go into gruesome de-
tails. Last Summer, in my part of
our fair province, it wasn't very
favorable to stuff such as tomatoes.
And it seemed that the neighbors
formed a habit of leaning over the
fence and peering much too in-
tently toward my straggly and
starved -looking vines. As they
turned away I could almost hear
them saying to themselves "Milk -
fed tomatoes—PHOOOOEYY
* 5 *
But things have a way of evening
themselves up. As a pal of aline
used to say, "You'll go along for
a spell thinking life is just as bad
as it can possibly be; then, all of
a sudden, it will take a change
—and get worse." Anyway, within
the last couple of weeks I've run
across three people who tried out
the milk feeding — and are most
enthusiastic about it.
:k * '5
So here it comes again, just as
it was published last March or
April. I haven't had word of any-
body trying the treatment on onions
as yet,
* * *
Most of us have heard of such
things as celery -fed ducks and, in
a bygone day, corn -fed blondes;
but 1 must confess that milk -fed
tomatoes are something new—tat
least to me. However, that's what
they're saying — feeding milk to
young tomato plants is not only
possible, but highly ,profitable as
well.
# *
According to Prof. Frank M.
Harrington, who is head of horti-
cultural research at Montana State
College, the milk feeding will not
only make the tomato plants grow.
They'll nature earlier; the vines
will be sturdier; the root systems
SO%p bigger at transplanting time;
and at harvest -time the tomatoes
will he big, solidly -fleshed, with
few seeds.
# * #
As for the yield—that from the
milk -fed plants will be about double.
In fact the milk appears to act very
much the same as some of the new
growth -stimulating hormones we
hear so much about.
:k # *
In charge of the Montana experi-
ments was Dr. Leon Johnson. He
dissolved powdered milkein water
till it formed a soupy mixture and
poured about one-third of an ounce
around eaeh new plant the first
week it was up. Then he increased
the amount one third of an ounce
each week for five weeks. He also
used buttermilk and skim milk in
the same manner.
# M #
As for the actual results—plants
that hadn't been given extra plant
food of any sort produced at the
rate of 6,829 pounds of tomatoes
per acre; those receiving skim milk
alone yielded at the rate of 9,814
pounds; while plants receiving both
akin milk and ammoniated phos-
phate averaged 12,374 pounds.
One pound of powdered milk
Swede Auto—To be placed on the market in June is this
low -slung, low-priced Swedish motor car. The vehicle's designer,
Claes Allender, left, tries out the rtmabotlt with a friend in
Stockholm, The car will sell for about $386.
That very eminent guardian of
the hockey twine, Mr. William
Durnan, of the Montreal Canadiens,
has announced his intention to re-
tire at the end of the present sea-
son—that is, if hockey seasons ever
come to an end, which we some-
times gravely doubt. He wilt be
greatly missed; but for his own
sake, we sincerely hope that Large
William will . stick firmly to his
resolution.
# # *
Durnan makes no bones about his
reason for quitting, frankly stating
that he would prefer to end his
career with all his mental marbles
intact. And with the sort of hockey
they play nowadays, and the kind
of -protection goalntint.ers entirely
fail to receive, this is a rather
harder task than many onlookers
even begin to suspect.
5 * *
Goal tending, under present con-
ditions, is an "'uryin', scurryin'"
business„as the old lady in The
History of Mr. Polly” remarked
after her rescue from a burning
building, Your own players tend
to back in on you and block your
view so that you never have a
glimpse of half the pucks that are
hurled your way until they either
hit you or land in behind you. Op-
posing forwards play "inside home"
on you in a manner that wouldn't
have been tolerated in the palmiest
days of field lacrosse. You are
bumped, battered and bruised, as
well as be -devilled by the type of
Ioud-mouth that loves to congre-
gate in back of the nets. In fact,
it's a wonder that, after a few sea-
sons of modern big-time hockey,
most of the goalies aren't walking
around like punch -goofy fighters,
talking to themselves.
# # *
So, although his absence will
leave an aching void—especially in
the region of the Montreal nets—
we entirejy applaud Bill Durnau's
resolve to get out when the getting
is good. And because—as the poet
said—it's better to decorate the
fertilizes 100 young plants in pots,
and will take care of even more if
grown in fiats. Johnson believes
that milk -feeding tomatoes will
prove practical for both home gar-
deners and commercial growers.
* ,k - #
And after the milk had made
such a startling showing on toma-
toes, Johnson tried it on young
onions—and with similar results!

lives of the living than the graves
of the dead, we would like to pay
him our meed of tribute. Just how
best to go about so doing is rather
difficult to figure out, but we'll try.
Ik # *
Well, then, it is hard for any-
body who has followed hockey
fcirly closely almost since the days
when Lester Patrick and his
brother, Frank, invented it, to admit
that there are players today that
even begin to compare with some
of our herpes of old.
# * *
When Junior comes home, rav-
ing over the speed and cleverness
of such as Maurice 'Richard, Syl
Apps, Teeder ICennedy. Elmer
Lack and the like, it is our custom
—and that of scores belonging to
our generation—to give the brash
youngster a pitying smile and start
talking about Howie Morena,
Cyclone Taylor, Sprague Cleghorn,
Dutch Nighbor, Nels Stuart. "Your
stars of today couldn't even carry
the spare sticks of guys like those,"
we tell him, and sometimes it seems
as though he almost believes us,
k # #
But the truth is mighty and
bound to prevail, sooner or later,
And if the aforesaid Junior were
to conte up right now and ask us,
"Did you honestly ever see a better
goaltender than Durnan?" we [night
hent and haw for a while; but in
the end we'd be bound to break
down and say that we never had.
# # #
In our time, we have looked at
and admired a lot of high-class net -
minding. Names like Georges
Vezina, Chuck Gardiner, Roy
Worters, George IIainsworth,
Lorne Chabot, Harry Holmes and
half a dozen others come to mind
whenever there is a hockey fanning
bee.
,B * *
But while we may have seen
more brilliant single -game exhibi-
tions than anythilig we ever saw
Durnan put on, when we picture
Bill over the whole span of
his National Hockey League ca-
reer, we are afraid we'll have to
admit that if he wasn't the best that
ever stood between a pair of
hockey uprights, he'll do to tie to
until the top man comes along.
Maybe that admission is a sure sign
that age is softening us up, but here
it is:
* # rk
Bill Durnan was the outstanding
performer in a highly difficult and
nerve-wracking profession, and we
wish ]tint all the best now that he's
decided he has had enough.
Praise Be
An old Scottish couple - were
listening to a broadcast service, the
husband sitting back smoking his
pipe, his wife in deep contempla-
tion. Half an hour passed in sil-
ence. Then, suddenly, the old mean
laughed.
"Sandy," exclaimed his wife,
"why this merriment o11 the Sab-
bath?"
"Ah," said Sandy, "the parson's
just announced the collection and
here I ant safe at home."

Klondike Ivory
Ages -old mastodon ivory is be-
ing turned into jewelry at Dawson,
Yukon Territory, by two craftsmen.
George Murdoch and Dick Diment.
The ivory comes fromtheworked-
over "diggings" of the Klondike
gold rush of 1898—where 01300,000,-
000 in gold dust was found.
Modern dredges are now work-
ing this ground again, recovering .
gold that escaped the lturried mini=
ers of 50 years ago. And the dredg
es frequently uncover pre -historic
skeletal remains. Tusks dredged re-
cently from the gravel bed of Last
Chance Creek were said to be 12
feet long and 14 inches across at the
base.
From these, Messrs. Murdoch
and Diment can make hundreds of
souvenirs for sale to the tourist
trade.
Mean Trick
A farmer's barn was burned and
the agent for the insurance com-
pany duly turned up and told hint
that his firm world build another
barn exactly like the destroyed one
instead of paying the claim in
cash.
.The farmer was furious. "If that's
.the way your company does busi-
ness," he roared, "you can just
cancel the insurance on my wife!"
