The latest manifestation of this is the ann-ouncement of Col- onel Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, to extend' the present fruit 'selling organization in the other Canadian Pravinces. This will be ef- fected through the Ontario Growers' Markets Council.

C. made the fol- lowing ,clesnecut and emphatic state- ments "Farmers who have never suffered any appreciable injury by the corn borer find it hard to realize that the insect is much Of a menace, and some of them even think that there is no longer any need of enforcing the Corn Borer Act Tthe fact is eliat it ,is a greet compliment to the Act that they have not suffered, for it was to prevent injury that the Act, was pass- ed. I have been observing and study- ing ,the insect since it was first found in the Province and I am convinced that had it not been for the Corn Borer Act the grolvting 'of sweet corn would by now have been abandoned in practically every county -under the Act, and field corn would in many counties have been seriously damaged. lIn Essex, Kent, and probably also in South Lame:ton, West Middlesex and West :Elgin, all ,corn growing would have ceased' severabyeara ago. The best friends the corn grower has are the Corn Barer Act and the inspector who enforces it." Suggests Filling in Thin Alfalfa Stands. "In travelling throughout the greater part of Ontario during the past few weeks, I have noticed quite a number Of bare spots in seeded down fields, states a Huron County abserii- er. "This condition applies particular- ly to alfalfa fields and has occurred usually where the shocks of grain stood too long last fall. These bare spots might easily be re -seeded at the present time and not only the ap- pearatrce, of the ,fielcl improved, but the yield would be increased and weeds which invariably spring up in such thin patches, smothered out" It is suggested that one simply go over the ,fields and sprinkle a little seed over each bare spat. Then the whole field is harrowed, this operation coveting the new seed and doing no injury to the graveing alfalfa, provide ed it is carried out in the next fee weeks. Indeed many ,good farmers make it a reguler practice to harrow their alfalfa fields every spring, claiming that such thickens the stand and promotes early growth just as vigorous raking af the lawn is benefic. ial at this time, The Canadian wheat carry-over July 31, 1932, will be in the neighbor- hood of 103 intillion 'bushels, accord- ing to an estimate published by the Bureau of ,Statistics. This is the small- est carry-over since July 31, 1928. • Will Grow Lima Beans.

Moving Pictures Are Being Placed In English Railway Stations. Complaints made,- by deaf people that the advent of the "talkies" rob- bed them of 'one of their greatest enjoyments, • have resulted in a cur - Mus development of tho modern film. This cin only be described as the si- lent "talkie," in which the players, instead of littering sounds, use the ' sign language familiar to the,mute, in order to' convey the dialogue to the deaf spectator. And yet another innovation in the story of the motion -picture is to come into being. Daylight cinemas are to, be installed at Victoria and other great London railway termini, so that passengers may amuse themselves while waiting for their trains. Novel types of British lenses will , ensure that the films will be visible in the brihtest sunlight. They will be shown I on a screen, measuring four feet by,five, which will be placed in such a position that it cannot.be obscured by passers-by. If the new attraction spreads thrcughout the country, one may see an end to the boredom of railway stations.—From "Pearson's Weekly," ELEPHANTRSSTENT.
