'Will you please advise me if lime would take the place of fer- tilizer (second place) when prepar- ing the spring soil for seeding, and also on the corn soil, and would it benefit the hay and pastures? I do not feel that '1 can afford to buy commercial fertilizer, and 1 have heard lime is a good substitute, and much cheaper. I have been told my land needs lime." •— W, C. M. of Lincohnn Co. A. Regarding the use of lime 1 would say definitely that lime will not take the place of fertilizers, any more than a horse will take the place of a dairy cow. .Lime is used to sweeten the soil; fertiliz- ers carry plant constituents such as Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, and Potash, none of which are carried by lime. If your soil needs lime to correct its acidity, lime is what you must adcl because fertilizer will not cor- rect soil acidity. What you had better do is to send a sample of your sell to the Department of Chemistry, and let us test it and advise you what treatment the soil requires. In sending the sample, I would sug- gest ubgest that you send about a cupful in a small cotton bag. • 2. Q. "Last Fall I sowed some Fall Wheat along with fertilizer. The Wheat was treated and stood too long, and it did not come up. Will the fertilizer be of any value to any other grain that I will sow this Spring on the same land? Or would it be advisable to sow the Spring Wheat on the same land? Is there more than one kind of Spring Wheat, and if so, which kind is the best. IT. J. of Halton Co. A. There is no reason why Spring Wheat, or any other Spring grain sown on. your Fall Wheat field should not benefit from the fertili- zer that was applied to your Fall Wheat where the Wheat did not come up. 1 would suggest that in sowing the spring grain you fol- low the sante direction as when the Fall Wheat was sown, It is general- ly found that fertilizer drilled it with grain gives better results than the same I'ertili ei broadcast. This is because it is concentrated near the roots of the young growing crop. Bence, iw you drill along the same drill rows as followed when Fall Wheat was sown, in all prob- ability you will strike the salve drill rows in a great many instanc- es, whereas, if, you cross the rown, the benefit will occur simply on the four corners where the drill rows cross. Officer Blinded Watching .Eclipse Sightless for Days, South Afri- can's Vision New Restored CAPE TOWN.—Suddenly going blind while on his beat, a city po- liceman named Barnard was found by another officer groping his way along, trying to find police head- quarters. Removed to hospital, the sug- gestion was made the case was one of "eclipse blindness" caused by watching the eclipse of the sun the day before without sufficient protection for the eyes. Blindness thus caused has often resulted in permanent loss of sight. Fortunately, after four days' treatment, Barnard found that he could see, though imperfectly. Blindness returned at intervals of a few hours, accompanied by vio- lent pains ih the head; but after a day or two Barnard found his sight completely restored and there are hopes now that he has been permanently cured.

Gob — "At the dance Thursday night my suspenders broke right in the middle of the dance floor." She — "Weren't you terribly em- barrassed?" Gob — "No, my roommate had them on." A statesman, plagued by authors who sent him their books to read, had a regular form of receipt mail- ed back, stating: "Mr. In- tends to lose no time in perusing your book." There is a great deal of satisfac- tion in looking back if the train- ing of children has turned out well; O'Brien had five or six husky sons that attracted attention: Clancy — "'Tis a fine lot of boys ye have, O'Brien." O'Brien — "They are that. And I never had to raise me hand ag- ainst then except in self-defense." Nothing annoys a woman more than having her friends drop in and find the house looking just like it usually does. Visitor — "How old are you, son- ny?" Boston Boy — "That's hard to say, sir.

Office Boy (turning red) — Well, hir. Jones at first was always last, but later he began to get earlier till at last he was first, though be- fore he had always been behind. He soon got later again, though of late he has been sooner, and at last he got behind as before. But I ex- pect he'll be getting earlier sooner or later." Coleman Lantern Defies Hurricane Ifurrieane winds exceeding 100 miles per hour, cannot extinguish the light of a Coleman Pressure Mantle .Lantern, according to tests. conducted recently by engineers of the Cessna Aircraft Company of Wichita, Kansas. A standard Colaman Gasoline Lantern, Model No. 242-5, was placed in a wind-tunnel—a device designed to create winds 'of any desired velocity for ase in the test- ing of airplane parts and construc- tion. The lantern then was sub- jected to a gale of 105 miles per hour. Mr, Tom Salter, the aircraft engineer in charge of the test, gave the Coleman Lamp and Stove Co, an affidavit stating that the Cole- man Lantern would give depend- able lighting service under this terrific wind velocity. The extreme power of a hundred - mile -an -hour wind can be better ap- preciated when it is remembered that a genuine hurricane, as offi- cially defined by the Weather Bu- reau, is a wind "exceeding 75 miles per hour." Newspaper readers will recall the many hurricanes which have bat- tered attei'ed the state of Florida, In 1935 a hurricane which struck Florida literally demolished almost every structure within its thirty -mile path. More recently, on Sept. 1 of this year, newspaper reports de- scribed a violent typhoon which battered Tokyo, Japan. According to reports, the typhoon "left in its wake vast destruction across East- ern Japan," Hundreds of people were injured and many were kill- ed. Railroad and communication services were paralyzed. And the wind, said by the weather bureau to be the worst in 30 years, was blowing 15 Miles •per hour—or 30 miles per hour less than the wind resisted by this gasoline lantern. Coleman engineers explain that the Coleman Lantern's ability to withstand high winds is due to the manner in which the heat resisting glass globe is designed to deflect moving air away from the lighted mantels. Openings which admit air for combustion are sized and C.laced in such a manner as to prevent di- rect blasts of air from striking the point of illumination. This same globe protects the Coleman Lantern from insects and from rain, making it the greatest outdoor light. 1 n Manufacturing Washing Glass Market Recovery Is Felt—Pro- duction Is Well Over $200,- 000,000 Yearly, Survey In- dicates; Plants Are In Opera- tion Again Following Slump Of Several Years Manufacturing is making a steady comeback in the Prairie Provinces after drastic declines during the depression years and gross production value now is well over $200,000,000 a year, govern- ment figures disclose.

Winston Norman, writing in the Globe and Mail, says: I visited the find by airplane several days ago and got the story from Thompson, under pledge of secrecy. I saw gold in seams and nuggets on quartz veins in the Hitherto de' seised . "hot" sediments. Future Is Assured Thompson, who came to the Yel- lowknife rush with his brother, Robert, last April, made the find in company with Roy Lundniark of Wabigoon, Ontario, They were put down at Discovery Point in a little red and green Waco seaplane flown by Norbert Miller of Toronto. ' Colin S. Johnston, Toronto engin- mismanumaimminionsomm A HAPPY REMINDER! While in town get your copy of t his week's • Toronto Star Weekly, Issue No. 38—'38 eer, expressed this opinion during a visit to the scene: "The future of the Yellowknife area is assured. This is a great day for Northwest Territories and all Canada. It is the most significant turn that the whole Yellowknife rush has taken, It means that there is a fertile field for prospecting in all the me- tasediment belts which were hith- erto shunned." Gleam cf Free Gold Thompson made his original dis- covery from an airplane while fly- ing over a desolate and weirdly folded area of rock. "I first saw veins from the air about six weeks ago," he told roe, "and had been trying to get over here ever since. Miller brought Landmark and me and put us down on this lake. We made a traverse, and two hours after we landed we found free gold a quarter anile from the lake, in one of three parallel veins each about five feet wide. A Discovery A Day "We started staking right away. In the course of staking we ran on- to, a number of other veins which panned. Slime that time we have been averaging a discovery a. day, either high-grade gold or rock }Which pans." Moot important of all veins uncovered by the Ontario pl'ospee- t0r is: + „ ' "Treasure e Island. h" On t is little ,patch of rock and muskeg, surrounded by waters of the name- less lake, I saw a quartz vein ex- posed for 50 feet with 35 foot width. saw free gold gleaming under two feet of Water where lake slime had been scrubbed away, and handfuls of un0'ushed pluck which leaves a heavy tail in the pan, mixed with coarse hard." while based on 1936 figures, the latest available, show a definite improvement trend. Gross production value was $831,001,000 in 1929 and slipped to a low of $164,889,000 in 1933. In 1935 it climbed to $219,4S3,- 000 and the next year pushed ahead to $247,707,000. Salaries and wages were knocked down during the depression from $54,- 915,000 in 1929 to a low of $33,- 109,000 in 1933. Recovery was obvious in 1936 when they totaled $42,832,000. While no definite conclusions could be arrived at concerning the present state of manufacturing in the West because the 1937 and 1938 figures are not available, it was .assumed that manufacturing was continuing to forge ahead. Meat Packing Leads Slaughtering and meat packing was listed as the leading manu- facturing industry with gross pro- duction value in 1936 of $52,- 519,000. Flour milling was next with value of $36,715,000 and butter and cheese third with value of $23,219,000. Other industries with values were: Petroleum pro- ducts, $15,526,000; railway roll- ing stock, $13,901,000; printing and publishing, $8,852,000; bread and other bakery products, $7,- 891,000; breweries, $6,900,000. Green, Brown, Blue For Men This Autumn And Winter You Will See Fresh Tones in All of Thein; Shirts To Blend What will be the fashionable colors for men's suits this autumn and winter? And what will be the correct accessories to accompany thein? The British Color Council hos answered these questions. Blue, brown and green are sug- gested for suits. Two new blues are introduced, a dark shade re- flecting the blue-green of the sea; college blue, a darker but warmer tint. Blue-green is indicated for the lining of both. Brown also has two fresh col- ors: a warns, deep shade named Barbadoes; a darker tone describ- ed as Indies brown. A lining matching' the former, suits both cloths. The council further spon- sors regent green, a deep shade with lining in accord. Selecting the Right Tie Which are the most attractive shirts to go with these suits? For the blue group, apart from white, there are three shades of blue and a gray that matches the sea. gull's feathers. To accompany brown kits, we have create, ivory, parch- ment, and pine -frost, the last a light green. Green outfits require shifts in gradations of that color, medium gray with a touch of green, silver-grey. Men are keen on ties and the council gives guidance to becom- ing selections.' For blue suits, chocolate, Oxford blue, peony red and purple, navy find favor. Cham- pagne, create, maroon and peat brown represent suitable ties for brown lit. While silver grey. bot- tle green, Cambridge blue and gold pass the test with green clothes. This should help those who give ties as presents.

"KING OF PAIN" What Science * is Doing TWO NEW SATELLITES The Carnegie Institution of Washington has announced that two new satellites of the planet Jupiter have been discovered by its Mt. Wilson Observatory in Cal- ifornia. Jupiter, largest of the planets, was the first heavenly body to be studied with a telescope. Galileo, with the first crude instrument, a wooden tube fitted with lenses and only about two feet long, discover- ed four satellites of the planet in 1610. Subsequently five others were found. The satellites announc- ed today have been designed as "Numbers 10 and 11." "MIDGET SUN" PERFECTED Perfection of "midget son" in the form of a tiny mercury lamp that produces from a thread of metallic vapor no larger than a toothpick light twelve times as brilliant as the ordinary 1,000 -watt ineandes- cent filament lamp and gives three times 'rhe amount of light for the same current consumed, was an- nounced simultaneously by the General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, The mer- cury vapor attains a brilliance of about one-fifth of that of the sun's surface. The new lamp is expected to re- volutionize lighting practice in a number of fields. SOUND AFFECTS VISION Sound improves the visibility of some colors and interferes with the seeing of others. Results of an in- vestigation on a single color were reported by P. A. Yakolev, of the Helmholtz Institute, of Ophthalmol- ogy in Moscow, in 1935. A report of a more extensive series of experi- ments is communicated by hirer in "The Journal of the Optical Society of America." There are important implications in these experiments, not only phy- siological, but psychological as well. Interdependent relationships between taste and smell are well known. These Russian experiments indicate that there are similar re- lationships between hearing and seeing. According to them a picture seen in silence will have its color values changed when viewed to the accompaniment of sufficient noise. , 1 MOif iALS ARE-THEFOUNDATION OF HEALTH—( r1ON'T suffer with Stomach misery, U Rheumatism, Neuritis, Weak Kid- neys, Piles, Colitis, Female ailments, Skin Diseases, Run-down, etc, Lane's Mineral has brought complete relief to thousands.
