It will not be, lung now until the roar of the baseball fans 1 will be heard at the park. It is said that Teeswater has lost its ambition w due to the loss of .imports, and will remain in the :Lakeside League if it again operates, and we sincerely hope, it does. Although we did not win the League 'the boys were right in there fighting and if they would have' a Commission that will be so severe little more conscious practice they, that many of the stations will be fore- no doubt, would do even better, ed to cease broadcasting.

Prairie Garden Defence Canada's Potato Guarantee Canadian certified seed potatoes known in many countries of the world, but, nevertheless, many people have a hazy idea of what is implied by the word "Certified." There need be no -"doubt as to the world's true significance for the Dominion De- partment of Agriculturehas defined certification as a means of recording seed stock that is of good type, from vigorous plants, and, as far as prac- tical under advanced conditions of farming, relatively free from seriotts diseases. When potatoes have been inspected in the field and after har- vest by an authorized officer of the Dominion Department of Agriculture and have been found vigorous and to conform to the standards set of free- dom from serious diseases and . of purity of variety they may be certif- ied. Official tags are issued for such seed stocks exclusively and these tags constitute the guarantee that Canadian certified seed potatoes are being dealt with. went of Agriculture. The best time is early in the .spring as soon as the ground has thawed out Trees are then quick with new life sand if'inov- ed can readily provide new feeding rootlets and adapt themselves to the All Canada Cigarette. A widely advertised cigarette Made exclusively from tobacco grown in Canada is on sale in Great Britain; and is preying a favorite.—Tobacco Division, Department of Agriculture. A New Competition: pp etition A new Empire competition in dairy products has loomedup on the pori- ton, a feature of last 'year's trade, says the Dairy News Letter issued by the Dominion Dairy and Gold Storage Branch,; being` the appearance of South-West Africa as a source- of supply. Blackflies Bite Ducklings A high percentage of the mortality among ducklings through disease is caused by the bite of the most abund- ant ` species 'of Blackfly in Canada, Simulium Venestum Say, which tran- smits a parasite, Leucocytozoon An- atis,, to both domestic and wild duck- lings. The disease is apparently harmless . to:: adult ducks. This spec- ies of blackfly is invariably the cul- prit when fisherman and campers tor- mented by the swarms of the pests. Referring to the wide distribution of this fly, Mr. C. R. Twinn, Entomolo- gical Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, says "My own obser- vations in the Ottawa district and elsewhere and a -stduy of the speci- mens. in the National Museum and of specimens "from correspondents in various parts of `Eastern Canada, sup- port this statement. It is not sur- prising, therefore, to learn that the disease caused by Leucocytozoon An- atis transmitted by this species of blackfly is common in.the Dominion. Dr. C. H. Weaver, Animal Patholo- gist of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, informed me that the disease is prevalent during the fly season, particularly in the northern districts, and that there is a tremen- dous amount of it among domestic ducks. He expressed the opinion that the short, crops .of wild' ducks com- plained of by hunters and sportsmen are probably caused by this disease, which apparentlyy occurs in cycles." Canadian Cheese Fc-' U. K. Canada exported 747,272 hundred- weights of cheese to Britain during the month of December 1932, says the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Turkey Egg -Laying Time Just as 'soon as the spring weather comes, turkeys should be fed for egg production, and laying should com- mence about the middle of April in. Eastern Canada and somewhat soon- er in Western Canada, with its ear- lier spring, opening—especially in British Columbia, says Mr. A. G. Taylor, :Poultry Husbandman, Dom- inion Department of ' Agriculture.' Much depends on the weather becom- ing really springlike as to the time fore forcing for laying, as eggs laid too early would have to be held 'too .long before setting. This important question must be practically left to the discretion of the attendants. To get turkeys laying just at the proper season requires experience, and be- ginners should be cautious 'in this re- gard. Turkeys should be wintered where they arc expected to lay in the spring. One of the prime essentials in suc- cessful gardening on the prairies is shelter from the wind. The wind might .well be placed as the first xlg en- emy,' .and its obstruction as the first ri ten- trees says the ie. Superinten- dent, u >e n t s 1 step to S S Y dent, Dominion Experimental Farm, Brandon, Man. Shelter from the wind`' will bemost effective if two distinct forms are employed; first,. high trees, not too closely set, to check the general force of the wind over the whole vicinity and to stop the drift of snow at a little distance from the buildings; and second, low, dense shrubs or hedges. around, the garden, or at least on exposed sides,:. to stop any sweep of wind along the ground that may get past the more distant general windbreak. Large tree close to the vegetable garden are objectionable as their tops shade the. vegetables while their roots rob the plants of food and moisture. Furth- ermore, high trees are often quite op- en at 'the' bottom so that'the wind sweeps along the ground. Shrubs or hedgesdo not cast shade or spread roots so far and, 4 Bern dense at the bottom, are more suitable as immed- iate neighbors of the vegetables al- though even they should be ten or twelve feet away. Hence the com- bination of the high trees in the back- ground with a dense hedge around the garden makes the most effective shelter. 0 NOW YOU TELL ONE A letter in The Bluenose: Dear sir:_ "I am an Inspector of foreign boil- ers at the Baldwin Locomotive, Works.

And when a man came and set on her bed and kissed her goodbye for a 'hurried business trip, telling her to be careful after her fall fro u her horse the day before, her mystification was complete. So she was married. Later she discovered from her ,toilet article that her initials are F. L. P. and that the. ' house she lived in was rich`-- and beautiful.

Every time the engine ex- hausts it rains for twenty minutes af- terwards. There f-terwards...There is an elevator that goes to the headlight to hoist the oil, as it required five barrels of oil to fill it. It takes two men forty min- utes to light one signal lamp. "The engineer had to use X-rays to watch for signals, and after 'runn- ing six months he goes blind. It takes two astronomers with a pow- erful telescope tosee her going. "It took- nine carpenters four mon- ths to build the pilot. They use a steam shovel to give her coal. The tank holds twenty-seven carloads and every time they wash the boiler it is necessary to drain the sewer grates. The roundhouse force holds a picnic and a half to walk through the cyl- in the fire box every summer. "She carries 860 pounds of steam and 360 pounds of air on the train line. She can haul 720 loads and in good weather she might walk away with 722. She runs from Kimberley to ' Johannesburg, a distance of 900 miles. The wind of the train has been known to knock clown monster trees of the forest, as she makesthe run in 3 hours and. 11 minutes. 'When she leaves the track there is an earthquake in China four days latera The throttle is pulled by a sta- tionery engine in the cab. The lubri- cator holds fourbarrels of oil. The train goes so fast that when she is stopped she is still going ten • miles an hour. "This is a' true story, Mr. Editor; I can vouch for it." Planting Roses It is important to plant roses as early in the spring as possible so as to get them established before there is warm weather or drying winds, is the 'advice of horticlutural. experts of the Dominion. Department' of Agri- culture. If the branches look with- ered when they are received bury them in wet soil for about two days so the stemswill take up some mois- ture, 'Prune back severely leaving only from three to six buds above that the point and plant so 1 the stock of onion between the bttd or named %ariety and the stock is just below the surface of the soil.
