I would like to know whether this would ap- ply for fruits, grapes and garden plants. A.—In answer to your inquiry I would say that the use of 20% Superphosphate as a supplement to manure is a well-established practice. This should be a good material to use as a mulch around fruits trees and between grape vines. It may require an addition of Potash and possibly 'Nitrogen to make it most suitable for grape;.—`A.M.—Wentworth Co." Q.—I am writing you regard- ing a fertilizer problem. We have in our locality a club that mixes fertilizer in the Spring of the year, Agents for other brands- tell randstell me that fertilizer that is not Mixed some months ahead • and then reground in the Spring, Aloes not become available as quickly to the plant. Is this cor- rect? There is a difference of about Five Dollars in price in (av- er of the local fertilizer per ton ,of similai .enelysis. Which is the hest buy?' • A,—lis .answer to your inquiry would say that it is not so much the mattes 'of availability of plant - food that is concerned in this in- stance as it is eve,ily mixed fer- tilizer, and fertilizer . in . good drilling condition. Factory -mixed goods are carefully and thorough- ly blended by machinery. Any ehemicai action that may take piece causing the setting of the fertilizer is allowed to proceed in the pile. Before the fertilizer .is shipped nut for use, it is reground ,aatd resifted to ensure good drill ,,lag condition. -- "G.D.—Porth Not money, but that old studio fate -mallei', billing, stands in the sway of the deal that would bring radio's friendly enemies, ,lack 12eni' and ]'red Allen, together In .n picture at Paramount .

Before Painting Wood Surfaces Remove Loose Putty, Fill Nail Holes, Kill the Pitch in the Knots New unpainted wood usually needs very little preparation. Dusting off loose dirt, removing mortar, plaster, or cement with a scraper or sandpaper, and filling nail holes and loose joints with putty enough after the priming coats is dry may be enough. Charring with a blowtorch will kill the pitch in knots, but the usual method is to apply a thin coat of orange shellac to all pitch places before the surface is paint- ed. Resinous wood like yellow pine should be brushed over with tur- pentine just before it is painted; cedar should be brushed over with solvent naptha or benzol. Rub With Sandpaper A painted surface that is simp- ly chalky needs only to be dusted. All' paint that has begun to scale or peel must be removed by scrap- ing or brushing with a wire brush; more adherent paint that is check- ed may be softened with a blow- torch and then scraped off. Surfaces that have been var- nished or enameled should be rub- bed with fine sandpaper, curled' nurse'letn7C,"F`;1'iTi'u,bee er vueg.ut =- the gloss is removed. ,Yellow Glass Used With Purple Chalk Days of the schoolroom black- board in Sudbury, Ont., are num- bered. When school • opened this year pupils began writing on yel- low glass with purple chalk in the King George Public School, most recent addition to Sudbury's school buildings. Blackboards are said to absorb too much light and all the boards will be changed if the ex- periment proves successful: Australia is boasting .that over 1,200,000 men's felt hats will be made this year.

A visitor heard about this, so decid- ed to test him. Sure enough, he took the penny, not the quarter. Later in the day the visitor met "Softie" in a quiet lane and asked him wily he had taken the penny._ `VOL you see, it's Me -tills. As you be a stranger, 1 tell ye, but don't let on in the village. I knows the difference in copper and silver, but if I ever took the silver no- body'd ever try me again." Beatrice says she has seen but eighteen summers." "Well, she aiways was unob- servant" When he was just four, a young lad was very much interested in a wedding that he had seen. ' For days afterwards he would speak of nothing else. One night he asked: "Daddy, have you been married?" "Yes, of course to mamma," he replied. "IB.,,.it. very lleid:ttu, et mmonied? Sonny continued:1 sews' e "No," his father replied, "we did not find it very difficult" After some cogitation the young son spoke again, "Of course, it was not difficult for you, because you only got mar- ried to mamma, but I must marry some strange woman." Cop: "Why have you been sitting in your car all after- noon?" Motorist: "i'm waiting for two gentlemen." Cop: "Who are they?" Motorist: "The one who owns the car in front of me and the one who owns the oar in back." It's A Poor Joke- .---- When someone blushes with em- barrassment. When someone's feelings are hurt.

A Soout Jam - bores at Camp Woods, ou Sylvan Lake, near Edulontou. Forming a background for the campfire cere- mony were a large number of Boy Scouts in Indian dress. The name "Eagle Chief" presumably was sug- gested by the fact that Sir Percy soared down to the lake from the skies, in a plane, and left by the same eagle -like means, The new honorary chief was presented with a ceremonial head-dress of feath- ers and a beautifully beaded pouch. The friendly reception given by the Scouts of London, Ont., to .• a troop of American Scouts from Texas at the time of the King's visit was credited by the London Free Press with bringing tourists from. Texas into Western Ontario. A tourist party arriving in July de- clared that they were "sold" on Canada as a friendly vacation goal by the way their Boy Scouts hail been received there at the time of the Royal 'Visit. "WORTH COMING OVER FOR!" Dixie is a grand smoke any way you take it, The tobacco steps fresh and flavourful until you cut it off the plug–and every pipeful lasts longer. As in the past, King's Scouts and First Class Scouts from the Toronto District acted as ushers on the grandstand at the C. N. E. The rounding up ot lost children and other forms of service also were carried out as usual. The past vacation season saw a record number of Boy Scouts In camp throughout the province. Well over 200 camps had been reg- istered at Provincial Headquarters in mid-July. Some 12,000 young pine trees were planted by Scouts and Cubs of Upper Canada College at Nor- val, as the first step toward devel- oping the 550 acre college camp- site. The trees, red, white and scotch pine, were planted under the direction of Mr. A. H. Richard- son, forester in charge ot provin- cial reforestation.

More Babies Born In Great Britain !During Past Year — Birthrate In England, Scotland and Wales Shows Big Increase Britain's falling birth-rate has been arrested and births in Eng- land, Scotland and Wales this year are expected to show an increase of 25,000. Thus the fear that a rapid de- cline in the population would set in from 1941 has been dispelled. The special committee of biolo- gists and statisticians advising the Government has noticed that in- stead of continuing its downward direction the birth-rate has begun to go up again. Births during this year are ex- pected xpetted to be well over 700,000. Royal Tour Book Nearly Completed Dominion Archivist Busy on History of Their Majesies' Visit Within the next few weeks, the Government will provide the peo- ple of Canada with a complete and official history of the Royal tour of the Dominion. The volume, that has been under preparation ever since Their Majesties left Canad- ian shores, will be made available to the general public, probably in two editions. Archivist Made Entire'Tour on Royal Train Dr. Gustave Lanctot, Dominion archivist, is hard at work in pre- paration of the volume. As official historian, he made the entire tour aboard the Royal train. His own personal observations axe supplemented by a mass of mater- ial culled mainly from press re- ports of the trip. Since Their Ma- jesties ajesties sailed from Halifax in June, he has studied and classified a tot- al of some 70,000 newspaper cttp pings in his search tor material. Written and Photographic Record The co-ordination of this mass of material is not his only task. It includes also the selection of i11us- trations for the book, to be picked. from thousands taken during the, tour. The book, when finished, will not only contain a written history of the event, but also a complete photographic record. The expectation is that it will be two months more before the vol- ume is ready for pubticatiou Bank of Canada Haven for Gold Before the war began, cautious Britons decided in increasing num- bers that the vaults of the Bank of Canada here offer the safest repository for their gold. Transfers of gold bullion from the British Isles to Canada in- creased sharply, and some $60,•- 000,000 worth was shipped front London to the bank vaults at Ot- tawa within recent weeks. While Bank of Canada officials are reticent about the total value of gold in storage here for Bri- tish customers, it was estimated there might be as much as $450,- 000,000 of the precious yellow metal in the bank belonging to private customers.
