Federal Department of Agriculture estimate indicates that a bumper crop of peaches is being picked,in Ontario
and British Columbia this year. The estimate places the 1939 crop in Ontario at more than 650,000 bushels,
an increase of 15 per cent. over the 1938 crop, which was a good one, and in British Columbia at 143,000
bushels, 10 per cent. more than last year. Some indi cation of the bountiful crop may be gathered from these
pictures of the peach crop in the Niagara peninsula.

Dim Wit
A tale is going the rounds
about the dim-witted chap who
lived in a smaI1 town and had no
means of support, The "boys" got
together and decided to chip in
fifty cents each and e3eat* a job
for—we'll call him . Lem. Then
they appointed a paymaster.
There was an old brass cannon
in the town" square, and Lom was
instructed to shine this cannon ev-
ery day, rain or shine, and at the
end of the week the paymaster
would turn over seven dollars.
Lem worked with great zea] for
about three months, shining and
shining and shining. One Satur-
day night he approached the pay-
master with a wild gleam in his
eye.
"I want to quit," Lem opined.
"What's the niatetr, aren't you
satisfied with the working condi-
tions?" the paymaster asked.
"Oh, yes," Lem said. "But I've
been saving my money, Yesterday
1 bought a cannon of my own—
now I'm going in business for my=

Wilting to Oblige
One day a lady entered a large
drapery establishment and asked
to see some blankets.
.After she had seen a quantity
of blankets and not made any pur-
thases, the shop assistant said: "I
am very sorry, madam, but I am
afraid we have not any more
blankets in stock,"
"It's quite al] right," replied
the lady, "I. ani only looking for
a friend."
"Madam," said the perspiring
atop assistant, "if you think your
friend is in among the blankets, 1
should be very pleased to go
through them again for you."

How Can 1
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q.—How can 1 steam -cook an
apple pie?
A.—When baking an open -top
apple pie, invert another pie pan
over it. This will make the steam
cook the pie thoroughly.
Q.—How carr I eliminate hies
from a roam?
A. --Placing a castor oil plant in
a room tends to drive away the
flies. Many people discourage flies
by placing in convenient places
small saucers containing a mixture
of cream, ground black pepper,
and sugar.
Q.—How can I facilitate the
pulling of threads from linen?
A.—Before pulling the threads,
run a damp cloth along the line
where the thread is to be pulled.
The thread will pull easily while
the cloth is damp.
Q.—How can I remove the odor
from a knife which; leas been used
for peeling onions?
A.—Run the knife blade through
a raw potato, and it will take
away the odor.
Q.—How can I store quinces?
A.—Place quinces ,carefully in
a barrel, rising only perfectly
sound fruit. Fill the barrel with
water, fasten on the head of the
barrel, and put in a cool place.
If done properly, the 'quinces will
keep all winter.
Q.—How can I treat perspiring
feet?
A.—Put a small portion of
household ammonia and the .same
amount of vinegar into a foot
bath. Follow this treatment daily.
If you have a suitable place,
you will find your paint brushes
always soft and ready for use if
kept soaking in water.

FLAT CHESTS
Dr. S. E. Weisman of he Uni-
versiy of Minnesota has written a
book "Your Chest Shoy.ld Be
Flat" which dispels the old no-
tion that we ought to have torsos
like barrels. After having measur-
ed 20,000. school children and
tested 500 for vital capacity he
decides that as a child ages the
thorax bruadens and flattens..
The chests of the tuberculous, so
at,aaaarn"a- ruts
pose, are ac ua y.deeper, hence
more undeveloped,' than they
should be. Dr, Weisman wants to
forestall tuberculosis,,, Hence. he
suggests exercises of the kind that
played their part in the evolution
of man from the lower animals.
FROZEN IN ANESTHESIA
Professor G. H. Parker (Har-

drops them into ice water. Cold

easily operated upon. He likes
cold better than ether and drugs

WATER ABOVE EARTH
A new weather instrument so
delicate that it can measure the
temperature of drops of water a
mile above the earth has been an-
nounced by the American Mateo
rologieal Society:
By concentrating the light of
the sky on a "cascade" of -mirrors
it is possible to detect changes of
an much as 35 degrees Fahrenheit
in the upper atmosphere and to
use such changes in predicting the
weather for the following 24
hours.

PROBLEMS
FALL WHEAT CROP REI=AYS
ITS CARE
Fall wheat is now a popular
topic of discussion among farm-
ers and all those interested in
the growing of field crops. The
old argument as to whether chess
is wheat in a depraved form or a
species of plant that thrives when
the wheat is poor still persists but
is gradually giving way to the
more modern topics of better var-
ieties, fertilizers and disease -
control practices.
Even the casual observer can-
not fail to notice how thick, uni-
form and strong the crops are in
some fields as compared with
those of many others in the sante
district. Fertilizer enthusiasts
claim that proper feeding is the
key to success; seed producers
uphold the merits of high grade
seed; but all admit the benefits
derived from the new mercuric
dust seed treatment. A thorough
check-up shows that each of these
• factors, coupled with proper seed
bed preparation, plays an exceed-
ingly important part.
The results of many carefully •
supervised fertilizer experiments,
conducted by agricultural col-
leges and other experimental sta-
tions in co-operation with inter-
estd farmers, leave no doubt of
the advantages derived from ade-
quate, well-balanced fertility.
Phosphat (phosphoric acid) is
particularly important. Root de-
• velopment, strength of straw, fill-
ing of grain and uniform matur-
ity demand it.
Good Rotation
A fertilizer of the type of 2-
�, ii`-"proviTlco--n Garalsl.• irwr�.,
suppiemdill ary pI�21tt toed ' for
this crop on loams and soils of
moree than average fertility.
Higher'phosphate fertilizers, such
as 2-16-6 or 0-16-6, are prefer-
able- on ninny of the heavier soil
types and areas notably deficient
in phosphate.
Fall wheat provic!es a desirable
division of work. It is a crop that
can be sold for ready cash er
used as part of the grain ration
for most classes of livestock. It
is a good crop to retain in the
rotation, and on many a Western
Ontario farm, where extreme
drought prevented the satisfac-
• tory development of spring grain
this year, fall wheat is likely . to
be the only profitable cereal.
. Acreages sown to wheat in the
Prairie Provinces this year total
25,813,000 as against 24,946,000
acres in 1933.
Modern
Etiquette
BY ROB.ERTA LEE
Y-++-••+�-o.- -.
1. -Shouldn't one be very care-
ful what he writes in a letter?
2.—Should a college girl intro-
duce herself as Miss Hall, or as
!Edith Hall?
3.—When giving a bridge party
which follows a luncheon, is the
hostess expected to serve sand-
wiches, or cakes, during the game?
4. --What should one say in
congratulating a bridal couple?
5. --"What is a good toast to of-
" fer to a guest of honor?
6.—When cutting meat on the
plate, should the end of the knife
handle be ,visible?
An;:wersr
1.—Yes; lie should be very
.careful One should not write
anything that the recipient can
resent, or that would cause him
embarrassment if the letter were
shown to someone else. Remem-
ber that a letter is often the basis
for a law stat. 2.—She should
call herself Edith Hall, 3. —No.
4.—This depends entirely upon
how well one knows the bride or
bridegroom. Remember that it is
a breach of etiquette to congratu-
late the bride on getting a hus-
band: 5. -'Here's to oar guest of
honor. He deserves what he gets,
and may be always get what he
deserves." 6. -No; the handle of
the knife should be concealed in
the palm,
