SIX-FOOT SOLDIERS MAKE UP THIS CANADIAN GUARD
This guard of a Canadian infantry brigade, lined up for inspection in one of the Mediterranean
war theatres where Canadian troops are serving, is no small affair as anyone can see. All its mem-
bers stand six feet tall or over. On extreme right of the party is the Brigade Sergeant Major, W. R.
Armstrong of Toronto.
Have You Heard?
In New York, an Italain was
being examined in court after ap-
plying for citizenship.
He answered correctly ques-
tions as to the name of the Pres-
ident and the capital of the Unit-
ed States. Then came this:
"Could you become president
of the United States?"
"No," was the reply.
' )'Why not?" persisted the of-
ficial.
"You please excuse," begged
the Italian. "I very busy right

Aunt: "What a beautiful
complexion you. have, my
dear—it's a gift of Heaven."
Niece: "Don't you believe
it, auntie—it's nothing but a
steady expense!"
A traveler just home from
abroad was describing an earth-
quake.
"Most amazing thing I ever
saw." he said dramatically. "The

were flung over the room, and—
His meek -looking companion
turned suddenly white.
"Great Scot," he cried. "That

A railroad agent in Africa had
been "bawled out" for doing
things without orders from head-
quarters. One day his boss re-
ceived the following startling
telegram:
"Tiger on platform eating con-
ductor. Wire instructions."
If you do not believe in
providence, watch the aver-
age lady driver and try to
figure out what else saves
her.
Then there's the rookie who
took the sergeant's advice and
put on a clean pair of socks every
day. A week passed by. "Where
are your shoes?" snarled the
sergeant. "I can't get them on
over seven pairs of socks," re-
plied the rookie.
Wife—"Isn't this a ducky
frock?"
Husband—"I'd call it a
pelican, judging by the bill."

Eastern Canada's
Abandoned Farms
Between 12,000 and 13,000
Farms Are Now Idle
In Eastern Canada there are be-
tween 12,000 and 13,000 farms,
covering about one and one-half
million acres, which have been
abandoned and have been idle for
some time. This condition exists
despite the fact that many thous-
ands of- acres of new, wooded land
have been cleared and settled in
some parts of Eastern r'anada dur-
ing the last ten years. So states
an official of the Central Experi-
mental Farni. ,
Should . this abandoned Iand,
which to 'a large extent has al -
'ready been cleared of its forest,
be used for land settlement pur-
poses instead of clearing new land
of its original forest cover? In
order to answer this question sat-
isfactorily a very careful survey
of each individual piece of aban-
doned property must be made and
the reasons why it was abandoned
studied, says the Stratford Bea-
con -Herald,
Many farms were abandoned
because the land was originally
sub -marginal for agricultural pur-
poses and no farmer could be ex-
pected to make a satisfactory
living on such Mand after the
forest resources were exhausted,
observes the Brockville Recorder
and Times, On other farms the
land, although originally of fair
quality, has been gradually ex-
hausted by unsound farm prac-
tices. .Some farms had to be
vacated because the acreage of
suitable land was too small to
provide a livelihood for the farmer.
The farms which have been
abandoned for the reasons given
are almost invariably poor pros-
pects for future settlers. Such
land, in most cases, is of greater
value to the state and the in-
dividual if it is left to revert to
forest. In some cases it may even
be advisable to assist nature by
planting young tree seedlings.
It should be observed that many
farms located on good soils have
been abandoned for various per-
sonal, social and economic reasons.
The right type of settler could
make a good home and build up a
sound, economic enterprise on
such land if he had the oppor-
tunity, and so it would be very
much easier to become established
on some of these farms than to
clear new forest land and bring
it under cultivation.
Climbing Cutworms
Damage to flax by a climbing
cutworm is reported in Saskatche-
wan. The cutworm is 11/4 inches
long, a dull green in color with
four white lines on its body. It
climbs up the flax stem and at-
tacks the bolls during the night.
It will not attack any other grain
except flax.
