UNPASTEURIZED MILK
Compulsory pasteurization of
milk is again under attack by pro-
ducers in Western Ontario. It
may be assumed that none of
them has ever visited the wards
of a sanatorium and seen the

PRESERVE COUNTY HISTORY
Canadians is much to the fore
these days, and it is desirable that
the history of each county in the
prvoince should be preserved. At
a recent Women's Institute con-
vention it was proposed that every
member should write down the
history of their parents, and, if
possible, their grandparents. This
would accomplish a great deal in
preserving data, and we would add
that some of the tales that have
been told us of the deeds done
by our forebears should , also be
incorporated. Our recent pioneer
story competition brought forth a<
great deal of interesting lore of
early days on the Bruce Penin-
sula, which is now available for
fhe files of historians.—Canadian
Echo (Wier -ton).

wheF��ould. you, kindly tell me
t eheiii Gals contain tWe great-.
'fret; sereetetteS of available nitro-
gen, phosphoric acid and potash,
to be used in a fertilizer?--"K.I.
—Perth Co."
Answering yours of recent date
which has been referred to spy at-
tention, T would say that as to
nitrogen carriers, urea contains
the largest amount of available
nitrogen, /15';`o in all. It takes up
moisture very rapidly and tends
to form a sticky mass. It is neut-
ral in reaction.
Sulphate of ammonia is the
next highest nitrogen carrier,
carying about 20.5 % nitrogen.
This is definitely acid in its re-
action.
There is a combined concen-
trate known as annno-phos which
carries 11% nitrogen and 48%
phosphoric acid_
Nitrate of soda carries about
15% nitrogen.
As to phosphoric acid there are
16 % and 20% grades which
carry 16 or 20% available phos-
phoric acid respectively. The come
bined form ammo -phos to which
I referred above, carries 48%
available phosphoric acid.
As to potash, a common form,
muriate, carries 50 to 52% pot-
ash and sulphate carrying 48 to
50% potassium.
Potassium nitrate carrying ap-
proximately 44% potash and 16%
nitrogen was on the market some
time ago. Since this is used in the
manufacture" of explosives, I
doubt if it will be available for
use in fertilizer under present
conditions.
Last year some potash salts
carrying 60% potash were offer-
ed, but I do not know whether
this will be on the market this
year or not.

FROM A WATCHMAKER'S
BENCH
From a watchmaker's bench and
an, optometrist's assistance came a
fishing lure this year which startled
fishingdom and brought keen satis-
faction to two ardent anglers who
had created their own lures.
The watchmaker, E. Hensler,
with the able assistance of the op-
tometrist, Dr. C. Ingwersen, per-
fected a spoon that swims like a
fish and has been Used by great •
numbers of fishermen this last sea-
son with excellent results. The
two amateur fishing lure inventors
started the spoon making for their
own use, but found it so effective
and so popular that they had to
make some for fishermen friends.
They are made of stainless monel
metal heads and tails with flexible
bodies.
Why don't you try making your
own artifiicial fishing lures and
baits this year and see what satis-
faction you get when ono of your
own creations hooks into and
lands one of those big ones?
TOUGH RABBITS
A pugnacious white rabbit with
a grudge against humanity claim-
ed two more victims recently at
Arnprior, Ontario, according to
reports just reaching this corner.
Jack Johnson, son of the Editor
of the Arnprior Chronicle, told his
father that he had been attacked
by eerab'bit. The editor went out
to the yard to see for himself and
the rabbit charged without warn-
ing and bit him 'on the leg. The
rabbit was finally repulsed with a
broom. Other residents have also
reported similar assaults frons the
white rabbit. It certainly sounds
bare -raising!

THE WAR:
Week by Week
Cheer up! It may be a dull war
now, but think what wonderful
reading it's going to make when
the facts chine out. They're start-
ing, even now. We've learned, icor
instance, that the first air raid,

was sounded when a British of-
ficial flew over London on his
way home from a visit to the
Duke of Windsor — his plane was
mistaken for en "unidentified"
enemy'airship. We know now, too,
why the German invasion of Hol-
land didn't take place the week-
end of Nov. 12 — Hitler decided
at the last moment to heed the
advice of his generals and call
it off (because Bblgium would
support the Netherlands). The in-
side story's the thing! Be patient
and you'll get it, eventually.
As the third month of the war
drew to a close the sound of ton-
gues Wagging could still be heard
above the noise of battle strife.
Diplomatic interchange had it all
over military action. ituseia and
Finland "dared" each other;
Hungary and Rumania; Germany
slammed England; England slam-
med Germany; Holland protested,
Italy railed.
Protest Export Seizure
The Allies' announced plan to
seize German exports was re-
sponsible for a great deal of the
talk. Among neutral countries,
the Netherlands were l,crhaps
hardest hit since, during the first
nine months of this year, Ian mil-
lion tons of German exports were
transhipped through Dutch terri-
tory to points abroad. Other na- ,
tions chiefly to be affected were
Belgium, Italy, Japan, Sweden,
Denmark, Russia, the United
States.
..Meanwhile the damage done by
Gertnan mines, submarines to Al-
lied and neutral Shipping was ter-
rific. Biggest sea disaster's were
the sinking of the 'British liner
Rawalpindi which went down with
all but 17 officers and men; the
torpedoing of the Polish liner Pil-
sudski. Rumors flew of nines
The 13ock Shelf
"CANADA. EUROPE AND
HITLER"
By Watson Kirkconnetl
What two and a half million
Euyopean - Canadians have been
reading and thinking about the
pre-war crises and the issues of
the war itself is here analysed by
one who has an unrivalled know-
ledge of their press. For several
years Watson Kirkconnell has fol-
lowed closely the editorial opinion
of the forty foreign - language
newspapers in Canada; he has
travelled most extensively in the
Balkans and in the Baltics in re-
cent years, and has more intim-
ate knowledge of languages, local
customs and history than most
Canadians.
The author was born in Port
Hope, Ontario, in 1895. He was
educated at Queen's Unive{rsty,
Kingston, and at Oxford Univers-
ity. Since 1922 he has lived in
Winnipeg, where he is Professor
of Classics in United College, 'Uni-
versity of Manitaba.

were !taking themselves on the

Eyeing` Rumania
Rumania was the cynosure of all
eyes turned Balkanwards in the
twelfth week of the war. Resig-
nation of the Argetoianu Cabinet
resulted in the accession to the
premiership of pro -Ally Georges
Tatarescu. Rich Rumania has to
wacth all her territory carefully
since so much of it was taken
from other countries at the close
of the first World War — Bess-
arabia from Russia, Dobruja from
Bulgaria, Transylvania from Hun-
gary. (Germany, too, is interest-
ed in King Carol's domain; last
week 700,000 Reich troops, fully
equpiped for action were report-
ed missing for an attack on Ru-
mania through Hungary). In the
same week Italy's efforts to create
a neutral Balkin bloc under her
Ieadership virtually collapsed.
Hungary refused to join with oth-
er Balkan nations .until Trans-
sylvania was restored.
Air -Training Schools
At home in. Canada engiueers
and aviators were busy selecting
sites for the new air training
schools on which work would
shortly commence. Forty were ex-
pected to be opened during the
winter, the total raised to 100 dur-
ing the summer months. Some fif-
teen of the training centres are
in Ontario.
