".Show .what you grow and share what you know" is the prize-Nei:ming sllogan, .and the latter part of the accepted watchword is of c'on:stently growing importance. Corn, Helps Quality .corn either for 'silage or, for husking is the result of suitable seed and suitable preparation of the soil, Ontario growers of corn for husking purposes are warned that planting this crop later .than the end of the first week in June may preveit its ripeninlg., Tests leave been con- ducted at the 0. .A. C. relative to different dates` of planting coup'leid with fertilization with high phols!pniate .fertilizers. !Records obtained show that a wee'k's' delay in planting could 'be largely overc'ome by the use of suitable fertilizers. Fertilizers of an analysis; of 2—r'2--6 or 3-10-5 used at the rate of 50 pounds per acre at the time of planting have been found to hasten the ripening of the crop at 'least a week. It is a we.li-known fact that corn wellt advanced toward •ripening makes a richer quality of ens!il'age than does green corn with white im- mature ears. 'Growers of this crop for silage purposes can increase the total weight per acre and also greatly 'improve the feeding quality of corn by proper regulation of manuring and ferHlizsng. Utilization of the by-products of farming is oneof the solutions to successful farming. Farmers• should utilize the skimmed portion of their crops as well as the cream, 'The fallacy of holding eggs for a •rise in the market has been frequently shown, as these eggs invariably grade seconds. Farmers are urged to market their eggs in the very best of condition, which naturally is as soon after laying as possible, so that they will get the benefit of official 'grading. Feed to a Finish Farmers who are feeding cattle for beef, are asked to note that consider- able numbers of halffat cattle have been brought in by shippers. The market has enough dep'ressing fac- tors to contend with, and 'shippers. are requested in their ,own interest not to sacrilace half-ifinished stock and thereby adversely affect the mar- ket as a whole. Feed your beef cat- tle to a finish and get all the market has to offer. A Word to Corn Raisers The corn borer is not the greatest, enemy of the corn raisers of West- ern Ontario, according to. Prof. L. Caeser. 11he farmer's own failure to choose seed suited for Canadian con ditions and poor judgment in plant- ing, are res.pon's'ible for quite as much damage as the corn borer. Prof, Cae ser points out that United States var- ieties of corn are for the most• part unsuited to Western Ontario and there is plenty of seed corn of the right type available in this part of the country. He ,further. declares than coria is planted too thickly in the majority. of .cases. Poor varieties of seed and too thick planting caused more loss to growers in 1930 than the corn borer, he. points out. Registrations of Holsteins 'Advanced registration work with the IIolsitein breeders has been grad- ually gaining ground since July last when the first of the herd -grading demonstrations took place. Already more than 4,000 cows have been clas- sified, and with the opening of spring a Busy season for the inspectors is predicted. Some of the leading counties with herds graded include: Leeds 33; Ox- ford, 18; Glengarry, 18; Grenville,' 21;'_Haldintiend, 34; Perth, 23; Princa Edward, 17; York, 13; Waterloo, 16; Quebec, 32. ' 'In Leeds County of 457 cows gra- ded, 442 were classified- good or bet- ter; Oxford, 299 out of 302; Perth, 208 out of 235; Waterloo, 185 out of 186; Grenville, 242 out of 246; Haldi nand, 255 mutt of 261; York, 1$8. out of 19'5; Glengarry, 191 out of 197, and Quebec, 306 out of 312. Lt will thus be'observed that the number of cows andheifers qualifying as "fair" or ''poor" has been proportionately small. Cows For Northern Ontario L. E. O'Neill, assistant director of the livestock Branch, states that they have been co-operating with the De- partment of Northern Develo.pmert in meeting the demands of settlers in Nloethern Ontario in obtaining cowls, Recently a shipment of seventeen caws went forward to Hearst where they were distributed to sixteen dif- 'ferent settlers. 'Cows are supplied on application from the settlers o'f Nor- thern Ontario. The settler must agreeto gay at leas't 25 per cent. of the cost price of the cow, in cash and the balance- is paid in monthly in- stalments of. $3.00 per month, per cow with interest at 6 per cent. on unpaid balances, Up to the .present time between 600 and 700 cows have been supplied under this 'policy, the settlers paying a flat rete of $12 per head in addition to the original' cost, this charge being made to :partially cover the expenses of shipment. It is ex pected that upwards' of fifty cows' will be sent into. Northern Ontario, during the present season. Approved Chicks in Demand A heavy donnaisd for approved' chicks is reported thisspring, with the result that noany of the approved` inatcheries have orders booked which are taxing their capacity. Many chicks mean Niovernber cheeks, and that .slogan is one that seems to have taken hold of the farmer's fancy. A review of theegg market. in Can- ada during recent years shows that the higher prices prevail during the late fall aird early . winter months before the flush of general production comes in. That is why the; 'farmer: who boys approved chicks early ip the season has a better prospective cash crop for the end of the year than the farmer who hatches his own, chicks later' in ,the season. The uni- fortuity of production add the high quality assured by government inrspec- bion and supedvisi'on which controls the -hatching of approved chicks is one of the biggest assets in the devel- opment o'f a poultry flock., t The cash returns from a pullet flock of from 1120 to 300 approved chicks are welcome and useful asset at a time of the year whenother crops heave passed.. flay chicks become producers in N'overmber, and raising chicks this month is a much easier proposition than raisirjg Meech and April chicks. Sheep Dipping Facilities „Approximately 10,000 sheep add Iambs are dipped annually in 48 tanks located at Various points in Welling- ton County, according to R. FI. 'Clem- ens, district representative. The tanks now cover nine out of ten townships. Numerous -applications are already in for dipping facilities and more are ex- pected before the County Sheep Dip- ping Day which has been set for June Stir this year. Most of the sheep are starved 24 hours before dipping and trea'ted for intestinal parasites before they take the plunge 'for ticks. External and internal parasites are thus given a setback at one time and. very effectively held' in check. All sheep so treated should be clipped now . and all lambs docked at about ten days old and the sooner they are dipped in the spring the `better- • • • ,Mother:•-'Johrt, swallowed a cent. shall Ido?"

From coast to coast,' excellent courses are available and where the com- pany does not operate its own links, playing privileges at first-class clubs are granted. In •the Maritimes, there are courses at St. Andrews -by - the -Sea, N.B.; Kentville,N.S.; Digby, N.S.; and Yarmouth, N.S. all in connection with the company's . hotels. Quebec City has two fine courses, one club dating back to 1874. Montreal has the oldest club in Canada, the Royal. Montreal, founded in 1873, which today boasts two championship 18 -hole courses. Other.Clubb are numerous and good. Toronto, too has many'excellent links, including the Royal York Golf Club, where guests at the Royal York Hotel have playing privileges. Ontario. abounds in courses, all along the Canadian Pacific's lines. Bungalow camps at French River and Kenora (Lake of the Woods) have sporty 9 -hole courses for their patrons. Throughout the Prairie Provinces, golf is available at all the larger centres, while the Banff Springs Hotel Golf course is among the best in the country, in settings of unrivalled mountain scenery. Itis the Mecca for golfers from all over Canada and the United States, to say nothing of the numerous overseas visitors who play it each summer. Vancouver and Victoria offer ready hospitality, the latter standing unique among Canadian golf centres, -in that the game is played throughout the 12 months of the year, the annual mid -winter tournament for the E. W. Beatty Challv Cup, run by the Canadian Pacific Railway, being an outstanding feature of the golf calendar. • THE PICTURES (I) Looking from the fair way at the first tee, pavilion and Banff Springs Hotel, at Banff, Alta: The Spray River (left) forms a sporty water - hazard.

Rg PRIESITILEY iAT 'TO'RONTO. J. B. (_Angel Pavcum et) Priestly, who is visiting Toronto, ''gave a talk the other evening in E'atoit's College Street auditorium about contemporary English and American literatif1re, ex- tolling 'the novel as the last rampart: of beseiged individ'ualisna. IFro:nt the day of the novel being over, it was being ushered into ars ;era of renewed vigor and inilportance, de- clared the youthful paragon, who has demonstrated that a successful literary critic can also write best seller novens. and—inevitably—malce lecture` tours. The genuine novel, which Mr, Priestly feels should' be concerned primarily with people, was pronounced needed. as never before to implement there discovery and sublimation of the indi- vidual, to avert the interment of indi- vidualism by ,Communist Russia, Fas- cist Italy, industrial America mid in- contpetene novelists. "The world needs to know pe'ople as people, trot merely as functions— the elevator man) the truck -driver, the lawyer, and son on—or as contributing units to a neass," pleaded the author of "The Good Companionse'' IR'esiortin'g periodically to the dry, semi - exasperated, withering sar- casm with which his lecture was lea- vened, Mr. Priestly proteitet that the novel was provoking bewi'lderm:ent. and head shaking mainly because it had become the dominant mode of ex- pression. 'There were too many no- velists who could not, or at least did tnot write novels. For every workman- like novelist concentrating on ,narra- tive and character creation, there were a dozen lyrical poets, economic and social reformers, add "philosophical essayists like Aldous Huxley' using the novel as a vehicle for their ideas. "It has become tike rag bag of con temporary literature,"' he complained, "and there is too much classification As each little novel comes marching from the printing press it is 'immed- iately pushed into compartments la- belled either 'lowbrow' or 'highbrow.' If we must have brows mixed up in it at all, I prefer the term 'broad - brow' that .I invented. • 'W'e need more broadbrow novels to -day writ- ten with. gusto, 'swill and affection." Instead of thesis and symbol novels Mr. Priestly fent, the modern world needed novels of "symbolic realism," works in which any tliente or message was conveyed unobtrusively through the telling of a story and, the evolu- tion of characters. He waxed alter- n'trtely savage and mocking in discuss- ing the various "schools" of novels- the "stream of consciousness" meth- od of (antes Joyce's "Ulysses," the fantasy novel, and the American "lo- cal color" and "revolt" novels of a few years ago.. Discussing American literature, Mr. Priestly proffered his belief that Willa Cather was the best writer in. the United States to -day, and that Sinclair Lewis, "a creative artist in spite of himself," had lost ground in the past few years by writ- ing theses about research work and the clergy instead of turning out nov- els. The amain trouble with American novels, he thought, was that, sprout- ing in cycles, they were of a too dead- ly uniformity, "which of course, was not surprising in a country where it is a more deadly sin to be a Commun- ist or a Pac'Nist than to shoot a man dead. KILLED IN PLANE CRASH. Maurice Heller, aged twenty-five, barrister of Windsor, was killed in an aeroplane crash at Windsor. Heller, whose mother lives at 95 Lippincott street, Toronto, was burn- ed when an airplane in which he was a passenger fell 250 feet and took fire at the Walker Airport. John H. Wigle, former mayor of East Wind- sor, pilot; of the plane, escaped with minor burns and bruises. Wigle was in charge of one of four machines that took off from the air- port for a cruise to Brantford. Hie was the last plane to leave the ground following a plane of Dr. J. Clark Giffen, of Detroit. When he was 250 feet up, Wigle made a left turn. The wing of his machine was caught in the backwash o'f Dr. Giffen's plane, sending it in -to a nose-dive. Wigle managed to -undo his belt as the machine was falling, but Heller who was seated in the front cockpit failed to free himself, and Ise was. caught in a burst of flame that en- velopedthe machine a second atter it buried its nose in the ground: Heller was pulled iron the machine by James "Scotty" McClellan, 20 years old; of Windsor, an apprentice at the. airport. ?fciClellan was burned about the face and hands and was treated`at a,nearby surgery. Wigle was in charge of one o'f the Border Cities Aero Chiles Gipsy Moth planes,' It was the same plane from which Donald Strevett, one of the first student pilots at the airport fell to his death sour years ago: Diner --`"What sort ,of pudding is this?" 1Waitress-"We call' it college pud- ding sir, Like t?"'

The London Daily Sketch says that the British''Governanent has ,made e proposal to Charlie Chaplin to plan and direct "an ail ]3nitish talking mo- tion picture df nlational significance." The picture was originally pro- posed to be an epic of. the Pilgrim Fathers, enbi'tled "After the .May- flower," .which, it was thought, would have British national signi'fic,ance and also vital interest in the United States. Chaplin turned .down-'. this idea, the paper said,saying he doubt- ed his talent to do justice to the subject: He suggested instead a film to be called "London," dealing with the romance and mystery of the Brit- ish capital, and .this, it was said,. .is. naw being • arranged, Negotiations have been in, progress for three months, the paper said; between Chaplin and the foreign office, an'd culminated 'recently at a meeting in Paris between Lord Tyrrell, British amabassador, and Chaplin. The Sketch said that it "assumed" that "a signal mark of honor" would be con- ferred on Chaplin:. when the work was completed. TORNADO WRECKS TRAIN. ,Swirling down without warning, a tornado flipped the Great Northern's luxurious "Empire :Builder" from the rails near Fargo, N. Dakota, and hurled twelve coaches on their sides, killing one passenger and injuring, more th.a'n a score of others. Passengers were unaware of the impending accident until they were showered with glass as windows of the coaches shattered like eggshells under the thrust' of the wind. _A mo- ment later the cars were swept from the tracks and hurled to the ground. LA near panic ensued as screams of injured women and children and shouts of the wren added to the tur- moil. Trainmen and many of the male passengers rushed about frantically extricating their wives and children and others from the wreckage. t4: Anderson of :Montesano, Wash., was the person killed. He was hurl- ed through a window and ground to. death under a succeeding coach. Sey- eral of the injured were seriously hurt, a half dozen having head wounds. Several of the passengers were in a semi-conscious 'Condition when they were pulled front the coaches. All were brought to Fargo on a special relief train dispatched to the scene of the wreck. After playing havoc with the train, the tornado swept into' Minnesota, killing Andrew Hatlebal, farmer, near Moor- head. STIMOSON TRIAL REOPENED. nWilliam J. Dow, former secretary - treasurer of the bankrupt financial concern, G. A. Stitnson & Co., ap- peared on the witness stand as the three former heads of the organiza- tion went on trial. : Dow is held on $3,000 bail as a material witness. F. G Ferguson, L E. Clark and H. H. Thomas, arrested last January, went on trial on charges of con- spiracy to defraud the public and publishing false information. The trial is proceeding before :Mr. -Justice Sedgewick and a jury in assize court. The application of defense counsel to allow separate trials in each case was refused. Pleas of not guilty were entered by the accused men. Dow related that he was in the employ of 'Col. George A. Stimson from June, 1919, until the death of Col. Stimson in December of that year. Th'e first G. A. Stimson 'R Co„ he said, was organized in 1920, with capital set at $300,000: The second company, under Dominion charter, was capital- ized at 100,000 shares no par value.: Under examination Dow admitted that he was one of the incorporators of the first company. Asked if there were separate accounts for each of the subsidiary conl:patiies, witness said there were. He admitted that when a check was made out to G. A. Stint - son & Co. and the money was ler one of the other companies, it went into the Stimson account. The financ- ing was "largely interlocking in a switching way," he explained. At the close of the days hearing, the jury were locked np, a practice rarely enforced in non -capital charges, SUING MAGISTRATE. \lagti trate C. F, Maxw'ell of St. Thomas whose conviction of four Polish laborers was termed "an ab- solute miscarriage of justice" by Chief Justice Latchford,has been notified that thefour men are sling him for $15,000 for false imprison- ment. The four men, Johii Pradi, Geetaw Brozock, Tony Poyoka, and Joseph Breckenski, returned to To- ronto from St. Thomas. Their appeal against conviction ,by the magistrate of breaking into a bunk car was up- held in second 'division court of Os- goodc Hall: and a recommendation for their deportation quashed. it was brought out in eviden:oe that the workingmen, seeking work in St. Thomason April 25, had been unsuc- cessful, and when they entered the bunk car used by railway workmen to live in they were arrected by a railway constable. When they ap- peared before 'Magistrate ? iaewelf the were sentenced and later recoil mended 'dor deportation, It could 'not be ascertained from •Magistrate Watt of Gitel'ph, presid- ent of the Ontario Magistrates' As- sociation, what steps the association woui'd take. PADLOCKS CHURCH.. . Though spurned by his erstwhile congregation, ejected from. pulpit .and . parsonage,', hailed in -to court by his pariseioners, in spite of all when ac- counts are squared ,U•p' Yonder, . the Rev,' Dr. Thomas H. Henderson •ex-- pects to have the last; best laugh., Grant African Methodist Episcopal Church,' Soho Street, Toronto, was -in• charge .of a new minister last Sun- day, evening. J, M. Jackson, who. has led the movement to oust Ere Henderson, leaned against the .door - iamb to welcome the faithful to pray- er meeting and to keep an eye oe aid ' whom he suspects •of pro-11enderson leanings. Dr. •Henderson has vacat- ed the parsonage at 199 EInr' Street. He is a temporary house guest with Charles A. Jackson (no relation) at Dundas street west. Mrs. Charles 'A Jackson is one of 17 officers of the church who, having been appointed by the former pastor, have stuck by him.' -and who are expected to be displac- ed in the elections scheduled this, week. Official spokesman for. the de- posed minister is Mts. Jackson, a: smiling ample negro woman. Stand- ing pleasantly :in the doorway of her hone, she conveys an impression of the uselessness of hoping to get face to face with Dr. Henderson, who is. presumably within. - "I appreciate your wlching to give - Dr. Henderson an opportenity of tell- • ing his side of the story," she says, "but he never talks to reporters:. H'e- is a very quiet man, very'retiring and very unassuming. He feels that the time is not ripe for him to speak, .In the meantime Ise is satisfied to let the: others do the hollering. When all is said and done,,, he knows he will not have to shout. He is waiting for the truth to conte out and it will speak for 'itself;" J. -M. Jackson last night pointed'. proudly to a formidable steel -ribbed padlock which he had attached to the. door of the Soho Street house of wor- ship. orship. "Let Henderson try to bust that." he observed stoutly. "Or let hint try to get a tack that I can't get oast_ With a hantnier I can get past any lock that Henderson wants to go and put on that door." Mr. Jackson was referring to Dr.•. Henderson's two earlier attempts to • close the edifice—once with nails, wire - and rope, and again with a lock which: Jackson, true to his boast, had shatter- ed with a hammer. The colored people's ecclesiastical difficulties have been in and out of the courts for months. A committee of investigation, organized by J. M.. Jackson with the authority of the church discipline, charge'd that Dr: . Henderson had refused to account for certain trust funds. A recent writ of mandamus required the latter to hand' over $11,938 for the disposition of the. court. Subsequently the Rev. S. T. Byrd: was brought from Windsor to take' charge of the congregation. Sunday morning after a few verbal passages in the church between the new and the old pastors, Mr. Byrd prevailed upon Dr. Henderson to retire front the pulpit. The new incumbent will'. hold office until the next general con- ference. AUBURN. A despatch from North Bay states that it is understood Dr. Benson -t H..
