Between four five hundred fuel dealers, from 7orontp and many outside points, gathered in the Crystal Pall Room of the King Edward Hotel. on Monday, Sept, 10, for the 'blue coal' sales convention. Untitled "Here's How," the pre- sentation used stage playlets, talk- ing pictures, lantern slides and a reproduction of a radio broadcast to drive home the message, not on- ly of how 'blue coal' advertising helps the dealers, but also :many ways by which the dealers can im- prove the type of service they offer the public. Included in the casts which appeared in the different playlets were Mildred Harris Chap- lin, ex-wife of the famous comedian Eugenia Rawls, Alexander Cross, Mary Perry, Joseph Eggenton, Frank Roberts, and several more prominent stage and screen figures. "The Shadow" Speaking on behalf of Harry A. Smith, president of the company, Mr. Scott of the 'blue coal' New York office pointed out that, largely due to aggressive and constructive advertising, sales of 'blue coal' had Increased from a total of 4,745,000 tons in 1933 to 5,570,000 tons last year. A big feature of the program was a reproduction of one of "The Sha- dow" radio programs, which are en- joyed by millions 'of listeners• each week, and which will soon be back on the Canadian air -waves again. The presentation, which travels like a theatrical company, and car- ries its own stage settings and pro- perties, is being shown in fourteen United States and Canadian cities, and was given on Sept. 20, in Lon- don, Ontario. • London's Central Library now has 21,000,000 books. what Science Is Doing * WORLD'S GREATEST Wlit,L.)- MILL The T waters is of the ocean are the world's greatest windmill, the fifth International Congress for Ap- plied Mechanies was informed last week at Cambridge, Mass. The windmill study was report- ed by Dr. H. U. Sverdrup, of the University of Bergen, Norway, and University of California. It is probably, he said, that the en- ergy transmitted to the ocean by the wind is much greater than that from heat. "If this is true," he added, "the ocean represents a machine which is principally kept running at an average constant speed by the frictional drag exerted on the surface *of the sea by the fast - running atmosphere." NEW LIGHT ON NATURE A new method of working back- wards in an effort to discover how sunlight is captured and convert- ed into food and fuel for man has been found, an Ohio chemist said last week. Spea'-'ng before the closing ses- sion of the American Chemical Society meeting at Milwaukee, Mis., Dr. Paul Rothemund, of An- tioch College, described the pro- cess of photosynthesis, in which chlorophyll, the green coloring Matter in plants, absorbs sunlight, as one of the principal mysteries of the universe. A new approach to unlocking its secrets has been found, however, in the discovery that the process will work in reverse and that chlorophyll will give off light as well as absorb it.

Bell with the co-operation of the various departments of the Ontario Agricultural - College, Guelph.) Q. — "I have about 5 acres of very light, sandy land on which it is Hard to grow anything. It is badly in need of manure, but there is no available supply. There used to be a .lumber mill on the property, and there is a pile of sawdust which has been accumu- lating for about fifty years, but there has not been any added for about fifteen years, and it is pret- ty well rotted more or less. Could this be used as a source of humus, and would it be helped by the addition of agricultural lime to the sawdust? The land is also in need of lime," — W. G., Brace - bridge. A. — Under the circumstances, I think it would be well for your land to be plowed and top dressed with a moderate application of the rotted sawdust that you describe. After this is done, T would sug- gest that you apply at least one- half ton of ground limestone to the acre;, and work both into the soil by discing or harrowing. Let the land stand for about a week, and then sow it to oats or barley, seeded to a good mixture of clover and grass, or alfalfa. At the time you are sowing the grain and the grass seed, apply about 200 lbs. per acre of 2-12-10 fertilizer, if you can get same. This should give the crop a good start and make reasonable yield. It will also insure a catch of grass or legumes. After one cutting of grass nett Issue No. 40—'38 year, I would suggest that you plow under the second crop when it has made good growth. This will add to the humus of your soil and build it up. Do not let the field stand bare as Fall plowed land in Fall of 1939, rather drill in or sow broad- cast about a bushel and a half of rye per acre sufficiently early in the fall so that it will have made good top before Winter comes. This will prevent washing of the soil, and will be further addition to the humus. A few years' treat- ment of this sort, adding the rot- ted sawdust in moderately large amounts and plowing in grain crops should build up your soil, especially if it is supplemented with suitable fertilizer over three or four years.

When the speed' limit at Akeny, Ia., was 26 miles an hour, Acting Commis- sioner Horace Tate said, many mo- torists drove through without slowing down. Solve went as fast as 50 miles an hour, But when the Akeny City Council raised the speed limit 0 45 miles an hour, most motorists didn't go more than 40 miles an hour. dicated by experiments made by Professor Hans H. Ussing, of the University of Copenhagen, who used heavy water mixed with the food of rats as a tracer to mark the tissues in which changes have taken place, the extent of the changes being indicated by the amount of heavy water found in the tissues at the close of the ex- perimont. •Dr. Ussing found after three days that 10 per cent. of the tis- sue of the liver had been newly formed from materials containing the heavy water, and 2.5 per cent. of the protein in the muscle tis- sue. If all of the tissues in the body were made over at the rate the change took place in the muscle tissue, a rat's body would be com- pletely remade in about 120 days, or about a half-dozen times in the course of an average long life. There is a general belief that the human body renews itself once every seven year,. but there are no reliable data on the subject. Eventually experiments similar to the foregoing will give us data on how rapidly the processes are in our own bodies.

Speaking about ra,;es, there's a good one told of an argument three men had on the subject of close races. One told of a race where the first horse won, through putting its tongue out of its mouth; the second man affirmed that a certain boat race was won through a new coat of paint. Oh! (said the third man) I've been in Aberdeen and saw a closer race than that! A man can forgive st hurt 5tp his person or bank roll, but woe to the friend who hurts his vanity.

Although we have no access to statistics, our general observation is that insanity is increasing, Completion of New Highway Expected by 1941 or 1942 The possibility of the trans -Can- ada highway being completed by 1941 was foreseen by W. G. Robert- son, Toronto, general manager of the Ontario Motor League, in an ad- dress before the Essex County Club at Amherstbnrg last week. Robert- son recently returned from a North- ern Ontario tour with Hon. T. B. M Qucsten, Prnvincial Minister of Highways, Mr. Robertson said he was great- ly impressed by road work being pushed toward completion in North- ern Ontario, The roads being built are not leading into "a wilderness," he said. Special Road Surface Used He noted that the Government had found practical a now low-cost bard surface road, which was be- ing installed in certain parts of the north at a cost of $2,000 and $3.000 a mile.

Wild Carrot Seen As Real Menace Department of Agriculture Is- sues Warming That It Is Spreading in Ontario—How To Eradicate the Weed Wild carrot is spreading at an alarming rate in Ontario and is con- sidered one of the most objection- able weeds in the Province, says J. D. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Ag- riculture, Toronto, It is a biennial ' and requires two years to produce seed. FIowers may be seen from July to September in white clusters Which are fiat topped when open. When nearing maturity these flow- er -clusters curl up and if plants are not destroyed they will break off during fall and winter scir ter- ing millions of seeds over frozen ground and snow. Thus, it will be seen that clean areas miles distant may be infested if plants are per- mitted to mature seed. The im- portanoe of destroying all plants immediately after they come in flower cannot be emphasized too strongly, Mr. McLeod states. Crop Rotation Helps This weed does not give any diffi- culty in fields where thorough cul- tivation and a short rotation of crops is practised. However, in meadows, which are down two years or more, in clover and tim- othy fields which are being kept for seed and in pasture fields, fence lines, waste places and roadsides it is rapidly becoming one of our worst weeds in that it smothers out pasture and hay crops, robs the soil of plant food and moisture and lowers the ,nai'ket value of seed crops. A Sriort rotation—glovers, buck- wheat, hoed crops and early sum- mer cultivation, followed by fall wheat or rye are excellent methods of controlling this pest. Pulling, spudding or cutting for two years in succession will not give new plants an opportunity to mature seed and will lessen the amount of Wild Carrot considerably. Chemical weed killers are the only practical solution for the con- trol of this weed on roadsides, foam lines and all areas where it is im- possible to cultivate. U. S. Drivers Rark Behind Canadians QUEDEC.—United State;' mo- torists are quicker on the brakes, but Canadian motorists are better drivers, judging from the rEsult of an international safe -driving con- test staged here this month during an insurance company's conven- tion. Three conventi,nr delegates from the United States, chosen at random for a braking test, showed half second reactions in applying the brakes and 58.6 per cent. aver- age in steering. The Canadian team averaged 68 per cent. in steering and five-eighths second in braking. "Funny Bone" When we strike the "funny bone" of our elbow against some- thing and get a distinct shock, it is not the bone that gives it but the large nerve which comes down the arm past the elbow.
