1. Q. '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.
Electric current rates in Shang-
hai, China, have just been in-
creased by nearly 25 per cent.

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.

North West Territory Is Found
To Be Rich in Gold Ore—

Plane — Others Are Staking
Claims
What may turn out to be one of
the most spectacular gold strikes
in Canadian history, made July 22
on a lake 30 miles east of Yellow-
knife, has been made public by
Fred W, Thompson, veteran pros-
pector of Halleybury.
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.

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,

been scrubbed away, and handfuls
of un0'ushed pluck which leaves a

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.

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.
