With regard solely to the accurate fixing' of position which constitutes' the major portion of geodetic survey work, the geodesist selects suitable points and ascertains where they are on the earth'a surface and their rela- tion to and distance from one another. This geodetic method of accurately as- certaining position is called triangul- ation. What lies between the select- ed points—rivers, lakes, arable lands, mineral lands, roadsteads, harbors, and the rest -must be plotteC in by the topographical, geological, or hydrographic surveyor. One of the first duties of the Geo- detic Survey was the running of a net- work of points across Canada in the proximity of the International Bound- ary. In' this It co-operated with the United • States Coast and Geodetic Survey ,and now a geodetic net ex- tends along the border from the At- lantic to the Pacific and up the British Columbia coast to the southern bound- ary of Alaska. While this operation was in pro- gress Canada's industrial develop- ment was rapidly proceeding and rail- way, mining and water power enter- prises were entering new areas. This increased the demand for important. data as to latitudes, longitudes, and altitudes which it is the function of the Geodetic Survey of Canada to furnish. In laying out the program of work these developments were fully considered and surveying was done in different parts 'of Canada to meet the most urgent demands. A bird's:eye view of the operations of the past few seasons and those ..im- mediately in hand is instructive as showing that many naines which oc- cur in the Geodetic Survey program are those to which the eyes of the country are directed by reason of de- velopments now proceeding. Mitch work has been done in the Maritime Provinces. In the past few seasons this has been chiefly in south- western Nova Scotia and northern New Brunswick; from the latter area the net enters Quebec by way of the Matapedia valley. The St. Lawrence valley has been dotted with triangu- lation stations from tb strait of Belle Isle to Montreal. A'.riangulat`on net has been run aoing the transcontin- ental line of the Canadian National Railways from the St. Lawrece to the western boundary .of Quebec, em- bracing the whole of the Rouyn dis- trict and connecting with the net running up the Gatineau valley from the Ottawa. From the Quebec -Ontario boundary the names that occur in the westward - extending net, are Kirkland lake, Abitibi, Kamiskotia, Sudbury, and Nal.ina. The last named is on the SIMPLE WINDOW LOCK.

While custom or co-operative hatch- ing is rapidly increasing in this coun- try, there are many poultry raisers wl.o are so situated as to make it necessary to continue the use of the broody hen. Circular No. 70 of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa describes a useful nest which may be made from a twelve -foot board twelve inches wide. By cutting the board into three lengths, the top, the bottom and the back of the range are provid- ed. Four pieces of similar board a foot square mace Le ends and parti- tions for a three -nest section. When these nests are used for incubation, fronts should be provided made of slats and hinged atthe bottom. These doors when open form an alighting board for the hens when the nests are placed one upon another. The circular entitled "Natural Incubator," published by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, recommends placing the nests on an earth floor., but if this is not practicable, it is important to place a moist sod in the bottom of the nest and shape out a shallow centre before covering with a layer of cut straw or hay on which the eggs are to rest. kis Urged to Cc nprorinise With Hritain Rupture Would Bring Dis- aster to Country, Says Pro -British :Bagdad Jerusalem--A plea for collabora- tion with Britain is made by the Bag- dad . Times, a British inspired news- paper of Irak, which urges the Irakis to temper their impatience for the attainment of Trak's economic and strategical position; "There are ]]'anis," it says, "whose: object is the estrangement of Britain and' Irak. Such people ., will fall not only because Britain is never turned lightly aside from the pursuit of her definite aims, but also because their schemes, if they were success- ful, would spell irretrievable disas- ter to their couutry" The British and. Irak Governments are at variance on about a dozen points, but the chief difficulty is con- cerned with defense. The British maintain that the higher command' of any troops in Irak, in the event of operations being undertaken by com- bined British and Irak forces, should be vested in a British military com- mander. The Irakis insist that the command of troops, including those in which British ground or air forces take part, should he in the hands of Irakis. The Irakis also ask that the pro- clamation of military law should be reserved exclusively to the Irak Gov- ernment. overnment. Another demand is that the rail- ways in Irak, although built and maintained by the British, should pass to the Irak nation free, and that the land on which the Basrah port is situated should be transferred to the Irak Government. They object to any part et the expense of the British High Commission being charged to the Irak Exchequer. They submit that the protection of the interests of Irakis abroad should be the concern of diplomatic officers of the Irak Gov- ernment, and not of the British con - sal s. Objection is taken to the judiciary which uncle, foreigners would continue to enjoy privileges equal in some respects t ocapitula tory rights. The Irakis ask for absolute inde- pendence in negotiating with foreign powers, and demand the obalition of British control ov,.r financial policy in Irak. The most important of the contro- versial points, however ,is the ques- tion of conscription which Irak na- tionalists demand, and to which the British object on the ground that its enforcement would not be possible without. the assistance of British forces. The British decline to help enforce military service by lending their air force to tbe purpose, espe- cially as it would mean dragooning unwilling cultivators, mostly of the Shiah faith, into an artny commanded by Sunni officers from the cities.

POOR POTATOES HARD TO SELL In potatoes as in other crops it is becoming more and more difficult to dispose of the lowe : grades of stock. In his report for 1927 issued by the Dept. of Agriculture at Ottawa, the Dominion Botanist snakes. the obser- vation that consumers have become keen students of goods of all kinds and are becoming more accustomed to standardization and have definite ideas as to what they wish in variety, quality and price. The demand for lletter table potatoes, be points out, n tans that better seed must be plant- ed and the demand for beticr seed is stimulating the growers to still fur- ther effort in reducing the disease con- tent of t ieir crop and in the selection of potatoes true to type demanded under tine variety name under which they are' sold. Mr. Gussow reaches these conclusions from hi;; contact with the potato growing industry in the inspection se:vice related to disease problems carried on by the Botanical Division.
