Wound Dressings.
The grafting ,conipawnds mentioned
peevio:u:sly in this column were all
'fried in a s'm'all way as ,wound dress-
ings and in addition several asphalt
p'aaint. oompowndis. The effect of tree
vigor %oh wound healings was evident.
Medium sized wovivds onvigorous
trees healed quick'l'y and well without
any treatment Most of the materials'
used retarded healing on all wounds
as compared to those untreated. The
two 'exsceptions. were B'raca and Latex,
which. encouraged callous 'formation.
The clean, healthy callus formed with
Latex has 'been mentioned'previously;
Paraffin was intermediate in its effects
on wound healing,
The 'value . of these coanp'ounds , .so
far as prevention of decay is concern-
ed, ie *till Uncertain. Sma14 wounds
up to 1151 inches in diameter, will
dou'b'tless heal 'safely w'ithou't, any
treatment whatever. Larger wounds
should have the point of in'fectidn and
decay, the 'centre of the wound, pro-
tected. (Once of the tar com'pound's,
kept away from the outer edge of ,tire
wound, should be valuable as it lasts
elfin Rely and penetrates into the
wood. Brace is very satisfactory and
perotects'for .at least three years.'The
asphalt paints, if kept front/ the edge
.of the wound, appears• to give • good
protection, Ordinary paint and liquid
grafting wax are not so satisfactory.
.,Seed Corn for 1933
,Some concern has been felt relative
to this spring's supply of seed corn of
dontestic production. It is believed,
however, that the amount of -suitable
seed available may be sufficient to
meet' the usual' demand if necessary
care is exercised' in putting ole the
;Seed oats are being 'bought ,in Middle,- market only the best Of the crap for
sex lCauti(tiy alt iron( 40 to.' 60c perseed.
It is admitted that part of t'he 1932
corn crop in s'ou'th-westeran Ontario
.was harvested cinder cond'i'tions unfav-
ourable for seed production and that
a 'large percentage' of field's did not
.mature sufficiently to produece corn of
seed quality. At the present time the
average moisture content of last y'ear's
corn is thought to be 117% or 18%n.
!Orn the other hand dealers state that
:w+hite'Ontario corn of the 10312 crop
is louver in general quality than was
the coral .of 4931; there is. plenty that.
will grade well, over the re'qu'irements
for No, 1' seed. tA'dded to this, there is
-a' neetain carry over 'of seed corn from
the excellent crap -of 1951, much of
which, with rechecking of germina-
tion will probably be suitable for seed.
!Prompt wed vigorous germination is
a`prune requisite in all kinds of seed.
This as 'pti1'rtioui•arly casenit+rat in corm,
and since much of beset yesr'.s corm
crop is known to be unsuitable far
seed purposes, seed dealers purc1va;s-.

';Premier Heery stated before the
House that Hon. J. IR. .Cooke, chair-
man of: the Hydro -Electric Bo'ver
Comanissioni, had handed hi!nihis ees-
j'gnation, asking to be relieved of his
duties, but that 'fhe resignation. had
not been, nor was likely, to .be. ac-
cepted. Premier Henry intimated that
he felt 'the majority di the people of
-the province desired that Hon. Mr.
'Coolee should remain in his present
most.
(In ta'blin'g the annual report af.'the
iCoarilnissi'on, Hon. Mr. Cooke stated
(that -the demand for power in the fis-

IFor establishing the high camp's

world for such work exists than these
men. Six of the men - who carried

Many will think it curious that these
"tigers" of Everest and Kanc'hejun.ga
should be 'willing to face not only the

are visited annually by tens of thou-
sands of p'ilgrims, many of whom(
perish of, ,chole'ra, typlhoid, malaria
and dysentery in the .fever -stricken
lower valleys, the vast and compli-
cated system of .peaks and glaciers
beyond is for the most - part un-
explored. One of the few Europeans
Who have pehetrated this district is
C. F. Meade, who in '101+2 ex'peored
one of the .two main tributaries of
the !Ganges, which 'falls 'like "the
slender thread of a lotus flower." He
discovered passes arose the range
and was able to gaze dawn , from the
crest of the ra'n'ge 'toward :G!angottri,
over a wilderness of peaks and glac-
iers, unknown 'and unexplored.
These peaks are ar'm'ored, and de-
fen'd'ed by imttnen'se 'hanging glaciers,
which •cling to every hollow in the
mountain sides. Froom these ice walls,
hundred's of feet • thick, avalanches
weighing 'millions of tons periodically
crash ;with terrible force into the
glacier beneath.
K'amet received its first determined
assault in 119111 when the late 'Captain
Slingsby attacked it from the west.
Meade, impressed. 'by Slingsby's at-
'te'mpt, fallo'wed the same' route in
0112. But although eh reached 23,000
feet, '1,000 feet higher than 'Sl'in'gsby,
he was forced to retreat by bad snow
and weather conditions.. Meade then
turned his attention to 'the eastern
side .of Kamet. After a difficult step-
entting in ;hard ice he reached the
gap, 23,0:00 feet 'high, between Kamet
and the Eastern Abi ]Gamin, He was
the first 'actually to set foot on Karnet
itself. But the ascent 'had beermade
so quickly that the climbers were
unacclimatized to altitude, and w'h'en
they set off on their final push to the
summit, soft snow, combined with
mountain s'iokness, defeated them at a
height of 213,1500 (feet. gittense cold and
trouble with cooliesprevented further
attempts. The party had, however,
dssco'vered- a 'practicable route and
climbed to within 2,000 feet of .the
summit.
