ECHOES TO BE CAPTURED
It is possible to capture an
echo. They are made and stored
in an ingenious device which has
been developed in the laboratories
of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tem. The instrument is used to
give a natural sound to voices or
music transmitted from radio stu-
dios where it is necessary to dead-
en the walls so that they kill all
reverberation.
FUTURE THOUGHTS IN FRONT
Two Washington, D.C., physi-
cians describe experiments tend-
ing to substantiate a theory that
the front section of the human
brain controls future thoughts
while the rear portion governs
those of the past.
"With an intact brain an indi-
vidual is able to foresee to see be-
fore, to forecast• the results of
certain activities that heis to ilii -
tate in the future?'
T.B. AND VITAMIN A
A connection between tubercu-
losis and a deficiency in vitamin A
in the body has been observed. It
was discovered that of nearly
200 tuberculosis patients 53 per
eent. showed a deficiency of this
vitamin and in this group there
was a relationship between the se-•
verity of the disease and the de-
gree of deficiency.

Whiter White Paint
A new white paint, formulated
to shed dirt and grime and said to
show a very harked improvement
in retention of whiteness even un-
der adverse exposure conditions,
has just been introduced to the
Canadian market.
The secret of the new whiter
paint is in the use of the most
modern of paint pigments -tita-
nium dioxide - sometimes called
the whitest known pigment. This
pigment is known to have several
times the hiding power of any of
the older white pigments and in
addition, when properly incorpor-
ated in a linseed oil vehicle, it
provides a much more durable and
much better appearing paint.

room or a dining room rug wear
more evenly, instead of having

Canada's Racial
Variety Praised
Dominion Is No "Melting -Pot"
-- Standardized Type Of
Human Being Deplored.
Standardized citizens are not de-
sirable for Canada, according to
John Murray Gibbon, general pub-
licity agent of the C.P.R., speaking
at Montreal last week on the con-
tributions that Canada's varying
immigrant strains have made to
the Dominion's whole in culture.
He pointed out that in the Unit-
ed States it is the endeavor to
blend all races into 'a single amal-
gamation called "American." The
Canadian ideal is to let immigrants
retain much of their individual cul-
ture and habits.
"Some of us may hope to see the
day when it would be hard to dis-
tinguish a French-Canadian of
Trois Rivieres from an Anglo -Can-
adian of Toronto," said Mr. Gib-
bon. "We would then, so to speak,
swap Mr. Hepburn with Mr. Du-
plessis-but there aro others of us
who like to see the French-Cana-
dians retain the best of their own
traditions and culture.
Mr. Gibbon described many of
the handicraft -folk song festivals
for European racial groups which
have been organized in Western
Canada by the Canadian Pacific
Railway and the Canadian Handi-
crafts Guild.

Farms Foram
IMPROVED PASTURES
HIGHER FOOD VALUE
Climatie conditions in many
pests of this country May not
hermit of pasture improvement in
the salve remarkable degree as on
Seine Scottish farms, yet the work
-'mf Canadian research experts and
the experience of hundreds of
.practical farmers prove that much
,of Canadian pasture land can be
made vastly more productive than
it is, says G. N, Snyder, soils che-
mist. Not only do improved pas-
tures yield more grass per acre,
but the herbage is notably richer
in protein, minerals, vitamins and
Carotene, a fact definitely proven
by the researches of Professor N.
J. Thomas, Ontario Agricultural
College, and other authorities.
Build Up Soil Fertility
The first requisite in pasture
improvement is the building up of
soil fertility. Liming may be ne-
cessary for very acid soils, but in
,general the major mineral plant
foods -phosphate and potash -are
of first importance. If the pro-
cess is one of renovating an old
pasture without breaking it up,
the first application of fertilizer
must be heavy enough -400 to
600 pounds of 0-16-6 or 2-16-6
per acre -to produce a vigorous
growth of wild white clover and
other pasture legumes. Wild
white clover, a true perennial with
creeping stents that root at the
nodes, provides exceptionally nu-
iritious and palatable herbage. It
adds nitrogen to the soil and pro-
duces a dense sward that is very
effective in moisture control
through preventing run-off from
heavy summer rains and evapora-
tton during periods of extreme
heat. When establishing new pas-
tures it is advisable to consult a
forage crop expert regarding the
most suitable pasture mixtures for
the particular soil and regional
conditions.
Pale blue Iight proves a fatal
lure to the grape leaf hoppers, a
'serious pest in vineyards, as re-
ported by J. IC. Ellsworth of the
University of California. Females
of the species responded most
readily to the Iight. Counts of
large sample catches showed 88
-ier cent. female insects.
Manitoba hens lay more than
10i millioli dozens of eggs in a

SHRUBS FOR THE FARM
HOME
By John F. CLARK,
Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto.
The foundation line of every
home needs special treatment, as
a softening of severe architectural
lines must be secured, making the
rigid and often unsightly founda-
tion more attractive. No better
medium Is offered than a, planting
of flowering shrubs to frame the
home, melting it into the site and
tying the building to the ground.
Always confine shrub masses to
the outer edges or boundaries,
avoiding the spotting of single
shrubs throughout the lawn. They
should be so arranged that open
vistas appear from windows and
verandah. Varieties should be
planted in groups, and in small
grounds nothing more elaborate
than a planting of a few of each,
which will content themselves
within the space, shade, moisture
and soil conditions, one has to of-
fer, need be attempted,
Specimens And Kinds For, Various
Excellent specimens my be se-
cured in the Magnolia, Wooing
Ivtuiberry, Flowering Almond, Itose
of Sharron and Lilac.
Varieties having a number of
features may be chosen, the aim
being color, foliage, berries and
flowers at different seasons to pro-
long the blooming period. This list
would include Forsythia, Spiraea,
Weigelia, Hydrangea and the Hib-
iscus.
Suitable shrubs for shady places,
not directly under trees, are Dog-
wood, Coral Berry, Snowberry, El-
der, PhiladeIphus, Hydrangea, Ar-
borescens, Lonicera and Spirea,
providing the position is not in
dense shade.
The ornamental effect of good
flowering shrubs will prove a valu-
able addition to the grounds when
used as a hedge. These may in-
clude Chinese Elm, Lilac, Mock
Orange, Bridal Wreath, Caragana
and Honeysuckle. The Alpine Cur-
rant makes a satisfactory hedge
even in dense shade.
The roots should never be per-
mitted to dry out, either before or
after planting. Damaged roots
should be removed, and the bal-
ance spread out naturally in the
soil. Give firm planting. Where
there are a number of shoots or
branches they should be headed

prove beneficial. Avoid crowding
and give space for development.
Keep shrubs a short distance, from
walls to escape drip from the roof
and the reflected heat from the
bricks. Spring planting is advised.
