If that region has good hotel ac- commodation and every facility for vacation enjoyment, the greater the appeal. For the person taking an August or September vacation no better choice could be made than Banff and Lake Louise in the heart of the .Canadian Rockies. There you can enjoy the finest of golf, tennis, horseback rid- ing, mountain climbing, and after- wards a dip in the warm pools. Banff Springs . Hotel or Chateau Louise are •well equipped to make yuur stopover there most enjoyable. Special Summer Tourist fares are available until Septa 30, final return limit October 31st. Nearest .:anadian.

(360) Locomotive Number 5900, oue of a fleet of twenty monster oil -burn- ing engines for use by the Cana- dian Pacific Railway on passenger and freight' service in the moun- tains of British Columbia, has be,en released from the Montreal Loco- motive Works and was on display in the Windsor Street Station, Montreal, recently. It was viewed by a constant stream of spectators all day, who admired its 98 feet of length, its huge proportions and its generally' handsome appearance. This locomotive is the greatest in the British Empire. The total number of dairy fac- tories in operation last year in Canada was 2,885, comprising 1,265 creameries, 1,303 cheese factories, 288 combined butter and cheese factories, and 29condenseries. The Royal York Hotel, Toronto, was a blaze of color at the recent rose show held there in July. The blooms ranged from the pure white of large dimensions and the smaller varieties to the vivid red of Amer- ican Beauties and others. The ball room of the Royal York was filled with them at the Ontario Pose Society show. The display gave birth to the project of having the most, beautiful rose garden in the world laid out on the Canadian American border and a committee was appointed to consider the plan and to settle final details at a meeting at the Royal York next month. Announcement has .been made that Americans and Canadians will join in travelling to the World's Poultry' Congress to be in Eng- land in 1930. ' Delegates will meet at Montreal and will travel via $t. Lawrence route overseas. It is expected that nearly 1,000 delegates will make the trip. Canada's wool crop,' like the grain ltarvest, moves across the country in a great wave, not being ,a simul- taneous operatioxt in all provinces. It begins in the sheltered Valleys of British Columbia and moves steadily across the Prairies. The shearing is at its height early in June and is about completed by the The crop month. T end of that p ranges from 15 to 24 million lbs. yearly and is marketed largely through the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers. Canadian Pacific farm cheep swept. the board at the Edmonton. show recently with three champions ineluding the any age Suffolk ram and ewe.

A pig- eon and a, whippet raced over a crass course of 200 yards. The dog was given a start, but the pigeon won by a narrow margin. The pigeon flout only 1'8 inches above the ground, and after passing the winning post re- turned to its master. Though there ie no doubt about the homing pigeon's capacity for raeing, it can lose. A fancier, told that bees Could beat his pigeons, regarded the matter ne a joke. The beekeeper thereupon offered to wager •two to one an his bees. Both were hard-headed Yorkshire- men, and iron -bound conditions were laid down, so that there could be no room for error. The rules were these. The bees, twelve in number, were to be released three miles from their hive, and ,he same number of pig- eons an equal distance from their cote. The first six to arrive home to be the winners. The first bee was home half a min- ute before the first bird, and three more bees reached their hive before the second pigeon. Some tipae ago a race was run In Australia between an ostrich and a horse; In the sprints thehorsejust managed to win, but over a long die tante the bird won easily.. An annual event in Calcutta is known as the Noah's Ark race, the competitors on the last occasion be- ing a goat, a horse, and an elephant. Whether there was a handicap we do not know, but the goat won easily and the horse was a bad third. It is on record that Lord Oxford once backed a drove of geese to race an equal number of: turkeys from Norwich to London. He won the bet, for the geese kept to the road all the time. The turkeys, when darkness came on, flew to roost in the trees, from which their drivers had a hard task to dislodge them. The turkeys were two days behind the geese! CHIMNEY SWEEP AIDED ARMY. Cadman Created Military Titles of Salvation Army. • It is Elijah Cadman, a humble ehfmney-sweep of Coventry, to whom the credit for the military: ranks and titles of : the Salvation Army must really go, writes a contributor in Tit - Bits. Once known as "King oaf the Roughs," Cadman was converted and betaine an ardent Salvationist. He was given charge of a •mission and began n to call himself a "Contain in God's Army to tight the devil." To mark .William Booth us his superior officer, Cadman called him "Gen- eral." And because William Booth knew well the value of a dramatic appeal to the popular mind, the ti- tles, after some hesitation due to mo- desty on William Booth's own part, were :accepted. To -day the Salvation Army is more than an army; it is a League of Na- tions in itself. Salvation Army offi- cers preach their` religious message and perform their social work in '67 different languages, including Cinga-. lese, Chizezuru, Kiswahile, Shinshan, Xosa and Zechua. NO MORE BRITISH. OAK. Grows So Slowly, It Is Being Super- seded by Larch. Reforestation plans in Great Bri- tain call for very few oak saplings. Oak grows so slowly that it dots not pay and it is being superseded by larch. An oak at.: fifteen' 3"ears is worth nothing, but a larch of that age will make good fence posts which will last ,in the open for at least twelve years. Oak is the best for heavy gate posts but larch is almost as good, Elm is best known for the making of coffins, but it is useful for all inside work and makes fine rafters. tin - fortunately it rots when exposed to the weather. Beech, poplar and sycamore are all quite useless' for fence making, for they rot quickly in the open, Spruce and silver fir are not much better. Both will decay within five years. Oddly enough horse chestnut, though quits a soft wood, withstands bad weather better than a number of other trees. And Who's Mary? A slight knowledge of the Scottish vernaeular is necessary to appreciate the point of a story told recently by tie Duchess of Atholl, the Conserva- tive M.P. for Perth and Kinross. The yarn concerns a little Scottish lad whose parents had removed to London. He had been rather lax in his'at- tendance at the English school to Which he had been sent,'so the ma'- ter called him betore hi. s "Why have you been away so of- ten?" he demanded, "Olt; ah've been. minding Mary's bairn was the are reply, Y. "And who's Maly?" demanded the master sternly, ' "Och, sir, she's fine:" said the boy. Norse Speak English Practically every second person in Norway is said to be able to speak .English. On enquiring my way back to the ship after a shopping expedi- tion in Bergen, some time ago, says a correspondent, the first person of Whom I enquired the way in falter- Ing ,Norge language answered me in perfect English. When S expressed surprise I was told, "At school we all have to learn at least one language other than our own, and nearly every one chooses English.,' chiefly, 1 think, on account of our Queen being Eng- lish." The Wind's Eye. 'he little lints in which aur seirly ancestors lived were lighted sad iren- tilated merely by a hole in the root. They called this hole the wind's eye which is exactly what our word •rvitidow" means, Thursday, August 8th, 1929 AFTER -HARVEST CULTIVATION Special Article written for the A. vane -Times by W. R. Reek, Director, Experimen- tal Farm, Ridge - town, Ontario; Ridgetown, July 30th Profits front farm crops are deter - tabled after the cost ref ,production has been deducted; many factors en- ter into this cost, but among them are: preparation of seed bed, control of weeds, use of larger power units, co-operation with natural forces, seed fertilizer, taxes, etc. Weeds rob the growing crops of moisture, plant food and standing room and reduce the price of the grain sold. This is particularly true of same such as Sow Thistles, Bind- weed and many others to a greater or lesser degree. Weeds have to be combatted according to the nature of their .growth. Sunlight is one of the best partners the farmer has in the eradication of weeds. A plant up- rooted during the heat of the summer. will die. Nature has assisted the weed to exist and multiply, but will also assist the farmer effectively in clean- ing the land if effort is put forth at the proper time. Labor is scarce and expensive; small power units are corresponding- ly expensive. Four and six horse teams should be used wherever pos- sible by one man, whereas twenty-five years ago it was seldom that more than two horses were driven by oric man. Power machinery is rapidly replac- ing human. and hose labor. Old mat - hods will not suffice under newcon- ditions because one man now' has to cover .far, more acres in the same period of time and he must accom- plish snore per day. Applied intelli- gence is rapidly replacing sheer mus- cular endeavor. • Weed control because of existing conditions and because of '. the toll taken during the past fifteen years must become an integral part of the. regular farm programme lest the re- turns per acre prove so small that it will i be profitable no longer to culti- vate thousands of the most ;fertile acres in the Provine After -harvest cultivations is one of the surest methods of controlling the weeds because the summer heat will assist. The extent that this praetice should be followed will depend .ueon the amount of hoe crop which may be grown. The plants are weakest. when the seed is ripened; for des- tructive purposes the attack sheutd be made, if possible, immediately prev- ious in order to prevent ripening, of the current year's seed as well as fighting a weakened root. When crops : have been removed. shallow ploughing or deep diseing will kill the young plants and induce seeds to sprout provided there is suf- ficient moisture:` Power 'implements will permit this operation in short periods of time and will enable the farmer to work a field .though hard and dry. Plants cannot` grow unless I ave, are developed—prevent growth above the ground. A weekly discing or cultivating during August is an ex- cellent method. Deep the ground. bare. Sow Thistle and Twitch are two of the most difficult to combat. Plough rather deeply after harvest and leave rough provided the land will beeome thoroughly driedoethe heat and lack cif moisture will gofar in definitely killing the roots, If growth commences wvicekly cul- tivation nitst be resorted to in order that growth may be prevented. Smo- thering will then take place, or in other words, the plant will be dept - ed' of food. Gathering and hauling Twitch off the land is too •expensive. Deep p is effective against Twitch—the roots are buried so deepe' 1y that only the stronger ones are able to reach the surface and u.ntess ll develop allowed to del clop leaves will not send out creeping • rootstalks mini the surface, Work put upon the land to control weeds is of vale e in i!hat thesoil .or is in better condition for the suceeedieg crop. For Fall Wheat, early cultiva- tion provides a fine, firm seed bed which is required. Wherever • sum- mer cultivationis not followed, weeds though cut at harvest time recuper- ate and may ripen, seed that; season or stole up energy for a renewed attack and spread the following season, Consider aftei'-harvest cultivation as one of the jobs that must be done.
