CiaJian Cheese
111 ScolLalid
Dr. J. H. Grisdale, former deputy
.minister of agriculture, who Iast year
'made a survey of the British market
, for Ontario Cheese Patrons' Associa-
tion, at the Annual convention in
Kingston predicted increased demand
and better prices overseas for the
Canadian cheddar as result of sharp
reduction in the make of the popu-
lar British farm cheese. A great
deal of milk has been diverted into
other channels in England, particu-
larly. G. B. Johnson, Canadian trade
commissioner at Glasgow, reports,
however, a prospect of keener com-
petition as result of "the improved
quality of home makes, particularly
of Scottish." Writing in the Com-
mercial Intelligence Journal, he
adds:
"The trading agreement between
Canada and the United States me
paean that Scottish merchants will
have to pay relatively higher prices,
which in turn will restrict sales in
this market. So long as Canadian
quotations are higher than those of
home or New Zealand, the demand
will be as In former years."
It is to be hoped Mr. Johnson does
not contemplate marketing of Car
adieu cheese at the same price as
New Zealand. It has long -sola at a
substantial premium, due to a pre-
ference for it on the part of • the
public in the United Kingdom. And
if, as Dr. Grisdale intimates, here is
a chance of Canadian cheddar re-
placing in any large degree the form-
er supply of British farm cheese, the
price trend should be upward, not
otherwise. That is what the produc-
ers have in mind in taking certain
measures in the matter of quality.
Canadian cheese, as a matter of
fact, has a good year on the Scottish
market. September obtained con-
siderably higher prices than the
make of May, June and July, and
holdings at the present time are con-
sidered good. Canada supplied 3e,
849 cwt. in 1935 of a total of 144,-
151, New Zealand leading with 81,-
893
1;893 cwt. It should be added that
total imports decreased 6,370 cwt.,
compared with the total for 1934,
but while the drop in imports o'
Canadian cheese was only 2,400 cwt
the New Zealand supply fell off by
{1.6,100 cwt. — Woodstock Sentinel-

Million Dollar Wrigley
Sign Starts Operation
The new Wrigley Spearmint Gum
Sign on Times Square, New Yorlc
City, a million dollar project, larg-
est of its kind in the world, was for-
mally dedicated and put into opera-
tion on Saturday evening, March.
28th.
The sign occupies the entire block
on )'roadway front 44th to 45th
Street on the east side of Times
Square. The new sign is a super-
structure on the top of a two story
steel and concrete building built es-
pecially to bear the tremendous
weight of the display. Tris world's
largest spectacular towers ten stor-
ies high; the spearman on the sign
has a grin a yard wide, The pack-
age of Wrigley's Spearmint is larger
than a boxcar.
The sign shows gigantic, malt!,
coloured, tropical fish swimming
about the sky; the largest fish meas-
ures 42 feet from tip to tan. The
flashing mechanism consists of
twenty-one pieces of apparatus, all
operating in unison; but no outs piece
is synchronized with another. The
electrical current required for this
huge display would serve .a city of
ten thousand, There are 1,084
feet of neon tubing and almost sev- .
enty miles of wire used, The in-'
vestment on the entire project is a
cool million dollars,_
Hundreds of thousands of people
will pass the sign each day; the
number' who pass daily through the
subway at Times Square is estimated'
to be 'almost equal to the population
of Toronto.
Broadway blinks in the splendour of the world's largest tapestry in
electrics, as the new "spectacular" on the Great White Way, Times Square,
New York City, was put into operation recently with ceremony. The huge
tropical fish in the scene swim slowly, in startling contrast to the usual
eye jerking signs of this type. A full block long and stretching ten stories
high, the new display represents a million -dollar investment.

Conducted by
PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL
with the co-operation of the various departments of
Ontario Agricultural College.
The business of farming is yearly
becoming more and more dependent
upon facts that have been gathered
regarding livestock and livestock
management, crop production, soil
management, disease and insect con-
trol and business organization of the
farming industry. Individual prob-
lems involving one or more of these,
and many other phases of agricul-
ture, engage the attention of Ontario
farmers from day to day. During the
winter months here is a little more
time for study of the most acute
problems.
Through this column farmers may
secure the latest information pertain-
ing to their difficulties. To intro-
duce this service Professor Bell has
prepared the following typical prob-
lems to indicate the information
which should be given in order that
a satisfactory answer can be made.
If answer is desired by letter en-
close stamped and addressed envelope
for reply. °Address all inquiries to
Professor Henry G. Bell, Room 421,
73 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, Ontario.
Question I (a).
R. W., Oxford County: "What
analysis of fertilizer should I use on
strawberries on clay loam soil,
heavily manured before planting.
Plants have set fairly good and have
good top?"
Answer: We assume that the
strawberry patch is now standing,
having been successfully planted last
summer. In regard to the matter of
applying fertilizer, it would have
been better if you had applied ferti-
lizer to the ground when preparing
it for planting. Many successful
strawberry growers get good results
by supplementing their heavy manure
with two or three bags per Pere of
such a fertilizer as 4-8-10, working
this into the soil along the rows
where the strawberries are to be
planted. Since this was not done in
your case, there is good reason to
believe that your patch would bene
fit from scattering this fertilizer on
the row where strawberries are
planted as soon as the strawberries
are worked, early in the spring, work-
ing this into the ground. Failing
this, the application of nitrogen
carriers such as nitrate of soda or
I sulphate of ammonia, at the rate of
100-150 Ibs, per acre, in the sante

way; should give good results. In
applying these carriers of nitrogen,
he especially careful not to scatter it
on the crop while there is dew on
the plants or immediately after rain.
There is a tendency for it to stick
to the leaves and burn them. If appli-
ed to the crop when it is dry, this is
prevented.
Question I (b).
"Fertilizer companies guarantee a
certain brand of fertilizer as, 1 per
cent, water soluble nitrogen, 2 per
cent. total nitrogen. Is there any
available nitrogen in the 1 per cent.
not water soluble? If so, when will
it be available for the plants to use?"
Answer: Water soluble nitrogen is
certainly available nitrogen in plant
growth. If the fertilizer contains 2
per cent. total nitrogen and 1 per
cent. water soluble nitrogen, the re-
maining 1 per cent. of nitrogen is
probably of organic source that must
await bacterial action in order that it
be readily available or it may be
'nitrogen in the form not taken 'up in
large quantities by the growing crop,
which must be also await bacterial
action to change it to nitrate form
in which the nitrogen is taken up. One
cannot answer definitely as to when
this Iatter form of nitrogen will be
available for plant use, but under
normal conditions, of warm spring
weather and with the soil in good
condition, it certainly should be
available during, early ,life of the
plant.
Here Is Heresy !
LONDON, Unt.—Both Santa Claus
and . the old-fashioned bogey man
came -in for some harsh criticism when
Rev. W. G. Colgrove of London, ad-
dressed the delegates to the 14th an-
nual meeting of 'the Middlesex school
trustees and ratepayers' association.
He said many school teachers have
used the bogey pian to frighten their
young charges. Characterizing it as
a relic of the dark ages, Mr. Colgrove
said it was time to banish it from
modern education.
On the other hand, Santa Claus is
just the subject of much youthful
humor about Christmas time, which
staid parents, renewing the ancient
inyth, never suspect.
"Children accept our gift s at
Christmas time, meanwhile snicker-
ing up their sleeves at our story of
Santa Claus," Mr. Colgrove declared.
It .was time, he said, to get rid of
Santa Claus as a benevolent person.

Canada First
A gentleman from Western Can-
ada who has made a specilty of tak-
ing pictures of the county to illus-
trate popular lectures, spoke before
the Advertising Club of Montreal re-
cently and voiced a rebuke of the
tendencies toward provincialism in.
Canada, the failure of Canadians to
see their own country, to be farniliar
with its resources and opportunities,
For that reason, according to this
speaker, ,nets resouriee are unde-
veloped and national progress is re-
tarded.
Perhaps general consideration of
this scheme might stimulate dontestic
travel, which would be .advantageous
in many ways. There can be little
doubt about the assertion that Cana-,
diens are surprisingly ignorant con-
cerning their own territory. There
is in Northern Ontario and Quebec
a tretnendous mineral area, with
prosperous operating mines all over
the landscape, yet it is safe to say
that not five per cent. of the popula-
tion knows what or where they are
or has ever visited that part of the
country to acquire intimate know-
ledge of its progress and prospects.
In Western Canada we possess the
world's greatest wheat -producing
empire but comparatively few people
have visited it to gain first-hand
knowledge about agriculture.
Beyond the Rockies is another
type of country that is largely un-
known to the eastern resident and
few westerners are familiar with
the ports of Montreal, Quebec and
Halifax.
When a Canadian reaches the
stage of opulence and unrest that
animates him to sea the world he
packs efi on a journey to California,
Florida or Europe. He is fairly in-
different to the gigantic scenic and
commercial appeal of Itis own vast
country. Ile may never have seen
'Niagara Falls, but becomes impa-e
tient to cheek over Paris or Buda-;
pest. The slogan "See Canada
First" should be preached more vig-
orously. -- Woodstock Sentinel -Re-'

Future Veterars

Ve,,eraris
Banding Together
Toronto Students Plan to
Profit by Experiences of
Past Wars
Undergraduates of the University
of Toronto, proceeding on the pre-
mise that they are destined to be
put into uniform when the next war
breaks out, have organizzed a Can-
adian branch of "The Veterans of
Future Wars," in order to prepare
in advance for the problems they ex-
pect both during and after the actual
conflict.
The officers of this new "legion sof
tomorrow" are as follows: Honorary
president, Oliva Dionne; president, R.
G. Anglin, Victoria College; vice-
president, Clarke Hoocl, University
College; treasurer, James Kemp,
Trinity College.
Similar organizations have been
formed at several United States uni-
versities. The Toronto group has de-
cided to ask the alumni association of
the university to erect a cenotaph on
the front campus in honor of the
veterans of the next war.
"We do not demand an expensive
monument," says President Anglin.
"One of our members, James Kemp,
has designed just the type of ceno-
taph that will suit our purpose,
featuring the simple, homely lines of
a park bench. Thus it will not only be
a thing of beauty, but will be prac-
tical as well, since it will provide a
place for the unemployed veterans of
tomorrow to sit down."
Gerald Anglin, organizer of the
"future veterans," stated that plans
were under way for a gala pre -union
in Toronto next June, of all Can-
adian men young enough to be con-
scripted in the next war..
Asked if his duties as chief organ-
izer did no' interfere with his pre-
parations for the condng examin-
ations, Mr. Anglin replied:
"We feel we shouldn't be required
to study for exams. Even the Board
of Examiners could not be so cold-
blooded as to pluck students who are
going to die for their country in the
near future. But just to make dou-
bly sure," he continued, "we yvill pe-
tition President Cody to grant us our
degrees at once, without writing any
exalts, so that we will be ready to
enlist as soon its the call comes"
Charles Jollife, an active member,
has been appointed chairman of the
committee in charge of Being Sorry
That We Have Only One Life to Give
to Our Country.
The "veterans of future wars" also
want the Government to pay them
each $1,000 bonus immediately. They
argue that as "future" victims of
war, they ought to get whatever ben-
efits there are.
"If we must die," said one "future
war" veteran, "we choose to be paid
