grower, and It seems as if ;j'l)st
flltu asoma as one variety of the pest •
its checked, another is bound to
turn up. A good example is the
recent advent of race 15B of i
silem rust. The wheat breeder; is
constantly striving to keep ahead
ed the rust threat by incorporat-
ing into aur present standard
letrieties, the resistance o£ varie-
tiee introduced from all over the
'world. Some of these wheats
have good resistance to our pre -
tont rusts, but undoubtedly new
:faces will arise to attack many
' them. Hence a long range view-
must
iewt?n,ust be taken by the plant breed-
er to obtain material to satisfy
lot only present needs. but also
:allure needs.
M
Since it is becornieg increasing-
ly difficult to find new resistant
wheats for breeding. other sources
;should be explored to supplement
the supply of resistance, says R. C.
McGinnis, Laboratory of Cereal
Breeding, Winnipeg. It is known
that certain. wild grasses related
to wheat -various species of Ag-
eopyron. Aegilops and Haynaldia
--- have excellent resistance.
/Should a transfer of this resist-
aunce to common wheat prove
;possible, then a new reservoir of
breeding material would be avaiI-
able. Some of these grasses do
not cross readily with wheat, or
when they do cross, produce
sterile hybrids.
When this happens, a different
method of breeding must be used.
First, two grasses are crossed and
then the resulting hybrid is treat-
ed with a chemical such as col-
chicine. Colchicine can cause the
chromosome number to double in
the plant cells, and the hybrid
thereby becomes fertile and
ztable. This is called "species
building" because such hybrids
are actually new species. In many
eases these new species can be
crossed successfully with wheat.
In this way the rust resistance of
certain wild grasses may be trans-
ferred to wheat.

In 1951, a program such as out-
lined was started at the Cereal
Breeding Laboratory. Undoubted-
ly the program will meet with
many adversities and will require
a number of years before-. its
practicability can be fully as-
sessed.
'Fish and chips" have been the
subject of many jokes on the
:cage and over the air; but potato
growers are coming n'iore and
more to realize that, to them, the
'chips" part of the famous com-
bination is by no means a joke.
For potato chips are providing
le highly .important outlet for in-
creased sales of the lowly spud.
The magazine `Canadian Food
Industries" reports that as early
as. 1950 factory sales of potato
chips and flakes, in Canada,
totalled 31/4 million dollars. In
the United States the cash value
of chips produced in 1951 was
almost 185 million dollars. A

Recently methods have been
developed experimentally to give
the chips candy, chocolate, or
cheese coatings to further in-
crease their popularity.
Ethel Dixon and P. M. Towns -
ley, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, have tested a wide
variety of coating and candy re-
cipes. They found nine which
gave desirable coatings. They
were: white powdered sugar;
caramel, molasses, molasses and
peppermint, peanut taffy, spice.
corn syrup candies; nut brittle,
maple and lemon candy glazes.
.
It was found that eandied coat-
ings had to be applied at temper-
atures above 180 degrees F. or
transfer of moisture from the
candy to the chip resulted in a
soggy confection.
Candies were applied by cook-
ing the candy mixes in duble
boilers with oil used as a heating
medium. The cooked candy was
poured into greased trays to cool
and harden. Pouring was done
at 310 degrees F. The candy was
then ground to a fine powder.
Non -salted, fried potato chips
were mixed with this powder
until the chip s were given a
thorough coating. These can be
used as powdered chips or further
treated to give them a glazed,
candied surface. Glazing consists
of exposing the powdered coated
chips to an instantaneous flash
heat of 1,000 to 1,300 degrees F.
which spreads the powder in an
even thin glaze over the chips.
Chocolate coated chips are
made simply by dipping the un-
salted potato chips in a semi-
sweet baker's cocolate at 80 to 85
degrees F.
Should flavours such as pepper-
mint, maple,elemon, various spice
oils, or ground spice be desired,
the flavour should be added to
the candy either after it is con-
centrated to the desired temper-
ature, and immediately before
the candy hardens, or, if the
flavour is a powder, it may be
ad.ded to the ground candy,

Cheese coated chips, a more
recent development, have also
proved popular with a tasting
panel to whom they were sub-
mitted. Powdered skim in i 1 k

Lives In The Middle
Of A Clover Leaf
As far as is known, 39 -year-
old Galo Putnam Emerson and
his wife and 10 -year-old son are
the only fancily who live smack:
in the )piddle of a giant highway
cloverleaf.
What's more, the traffic which
spurts around the house doesn't
seem to annoy them a bit. As a
matter of fact, the busy new
turnpike -just 20 miles , to the
north of Boston -has proved a
one-way street to fame and for-
tune for the Emerson family.
It wasn't ever thus. No less
than 300 years ago John :Putnam
-an ancestor of Gale's -built
this ti):arming mansion alongside
a quiet Indian tail "to get away
from the hubbub of the towne
of Salem." Nine generations of
Putnams went an living there,
including the famous General
Israel Putnam who led troops
at Bunker Hill. From 1648 until
1949, the handsome colonial .re-
sidence remained • a nice quiet
hideaway, securely insulated
against the hustle and bustle of
modern life.
Then, three years ago, .the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Works began plotting a
new super -highway. One 61
those giant modern cloverleafs,
with overpasses and underpasses,
would intersect it at Maple
Street and Newburyport Pike.
That's just 'where Gale's house
stood, '
To be frank. he didn't much
cotton to the idea of living in a
traffic c i r c l e, serenaded by
screeching brakes and grinding
gears. Besides, the state could
find no precedent anywhere per-
in.itting a family to live in a prie
vate home, smack in the middle
of a public highway.
Still, the mansion was a his-
toric land m a r k. And Galo
wouldn't move, So the depart-
ment made a bold decision. They
would preserve the house intact
with about eight of its original
acres, within one arm of the
cloverleaf.
As workmen and steam shovels
and grading machines moved in,
Galo began warming over an
old ambition. He had always
wanted to go into business for
himself. Maybe this big upheav-
al could mean a new style of life
in more ways than one. The trill -
Se swirling past his front door
could also bring customers.
He thought of starting a gas
station, or maybe a wayside din-
ing room. But his spry, dignified
heated about i;hree minutes at
350 to 400 degrees F., proved the
most satisfactory. S ki m m i 1 k
cheese adhered to the surface of
the chip whereas fatty cheese did'
not. Chips coated with liquid
eheese were unattractive in ap-
pearance and in taste. The cheese
flavour combined well with the
flavour of the potato chip and in
the case of the skimmilk cheese
coating the chips were attractive
in appearance, particularly when
toasted.
mother -now 78 -balked. Not if
she could prevent it, she said;
it wasn't worthy of family tra-
dition. But why not turn an old
family custom to profit? The Em-
ersons and Putnams had always
been famously good candy -mak-
ers, and she had a re'eipe for
fudge, handed down from one
generation to another, that was
e dilly.
In General Putnam's old work-
shop, just 100 feet from the back
stoop of his house, Galo installed
a Candy Shoppe. He added a few
flourishes, like a beamed ceiling,
salt box roof and huge colonial
fireplace. Then he hued an old
New England candymaker to
nook up more than 40 kinds of
dandy -a concentrating on fudge
as the. Shoppe Specialty.
Within six months of its open-
ing, Putnam Candies had be -
ciente a great success,
i""H•oweVer, Galo is • now»a man
beset by his own curious traffic
problem, The shop sits ()ally 100
• feet from his back door - Less
than - a minute's walk But he
likes to drive his car to and
front work, on the theory that
(I) he needs it for going to the
postoffice, (2) he. thinks a car
standing in the shop driveway
attracts customers.
Getting to work is a breeze -
he just turns right on the clover-
leaf and drives the 100 feet
to the store: But the drive
home - that's different. He
must turn right, since it is a one-
way highway, and circulnnavi-
. gate the entire four arms of the
cloverleaf, •going over the Maple
Street overpass twice, and tra-
versing under passes two times
more.. That makes it fully a mile's
drive homer The trip makes him
a bit dizzy, he says, since it's
all in one direction, and one
right ,turn after another.
The Putnam Hduse still snug-
gles .down among a few remain-
ing, great .elms, as if hiding from
the prying eyes of the motorists.
There it • sits, a quiet oasis of
residential ,charm, squarely in
the center of a traffic whirlwind.
Life• in it, says Galo, "is just like
in a beehive, with swarms of
buzzing insects all around the
place."
But the Ernersons couldn't be
happier about life in a cloverleaf
- • since it's brought al] those
sweet profits, and helped a life-
long ambition come true.
-From "Pageant",
In the White Plains branch of
the Hall Clothing Company, a
housewife was helping her hus-
band pick out a new suit.. When-
ever he liked one, she cried,
"Take it off. It's terrible." Fin-
ally, however, she grew tired of
the argument and said, "Oh, well,
suit yourself. After all, you're
the one who'll have to wear it."
The lean corrected her quietly,
"That goes for the coat and vest,
anyway"

MMiattlxew 28:1-19 10, 10-20.
Malmsey Selection: 1' am the
resurrection and the life.
-John 11;25.
The greatest miracle is the re-
surrection of our Lord Jesus
Christ. About 9 aero Friday, he
was ,crucified. He gave up His
spirit about 3 p.m. Soon His
body was taken down from the
cross and laid in a tomb. The
religious leaders persuaded Pil-
ate to post a guard "lest His
disciples come by night, and
steal Him away, and say unto
the people, 'He is risen from the
dead'; so the last error shall. be
worse than the first."
At sunrise Sunday morning
the 'great event took place. Jesus.
arose, folded the' -grave clothes
and laid them to One side, 'and
went forth. An angel rolled back
the stone and sat upon it. This
wasn't necessary to let Jesus
come forth but to let the dis-
ciples enter and see that He was
indeed risen. He may have gone
before the stone was removed,
for doors and walls were no ob-
stacle to Jesus after His resur-
rection. His body came from the
old but it was different. Fatigue
and death would never come
again. The body was perfected.
The guards were paralyzed with
fear and ' helpless. When the
angel rolled away the stone
there was also an earthquake.
Women were the first to the
tomb. They carie to care for the
body but instead they were
greeted by an angel. They were
bidden • to go and remind the
disciples that He would go be-
fore them into Galilee. Back in
those f a nl i li a r surroundings
• where He had been with them
for much of three years, they
would`- see Him. -
For forty days on different oc-
casions Jesus appeared to His
disciples. At one time 500 saw
him. This was no imagination.
They knew their Lorde More-
over He gave them a command.
They trust go into all the world
and make disciples of all na-
tions. The task is . still unfinish-
ed. The door to China is closed.
The door, to India is gradually
closing. The church must heed
the command. He has promised
to be with us, -- if we obey.
Medical, Hint
Help for Shaking Patstf. Two
new drugs make good news for
many people with shaking palsy,
or Parkinsonisin. One, MK.. 02,
combined with another medicine,
Artane, brought relief for rigid
muscles, spasm, tremor, and ex-
cessive mouth watering in 13 of
20 patients. The other drug, W-
483, has proved of similar value
in early trials on some patients.
(.5eiraon
Early With. These
Shrubbery, vines, roses, trees
atad other nursery stock should
be planted as early as possible.
This is especially true where the
olimate is dry and extra water •
-
log is difficult. The main thing
ie to make sure that the roots
of the new stock are kept away
from air and are moist at all
times, A11 these things should be
planted with the roots spread out
loosely, then covered with fine,
rich soil, pressed down firmly..
If at all possible water liberally
for a week or two.
Good nursery stock is soft and
pliable and well supplied with
good live buds. The latter, how-
ever, sahould not be far advanced.
The nearer a plant gets to leaf-
ing out the more difficult the
transplanting,
Common Mistake
Two of the commonest mistakes _.
of the new gardener are plant-
ing too close together and too
deeply. When sowing one should
always try and picture the result-
ing plants. Even tiny flowers like .
alyssum or portulaca, things that
are only an inch or so high at •
full maturity, will require room.
The safe rule is about at 't•ast
half as much, space between as
they are high when full grown.
With small flowers and vege-
tables this means at least a couple
of inches between and with, say,
zinnias, peas, beans, etc., four to
six inches. With dahlias and corn
this should be 12 to 18 inches.
The rule for depth is three times
the diameter of the seed or root
planted. Now this does not mean
that one should measure with
calipers but simply press in tiny
seeds, while such things as beans
and peas should be covered about
an inch deep. A few very tall
flowers like gladiolus and dah-
lias should go from six to 12
Inches.
Back Savers
Where one has more than the
average sized lot, a garden trac-
tor plus or including a power
lawn mower will save a lot of
time and hard work. They will
also do the work at least five
times faster than by hand. It is
a mistake to purchase too large
equipment especially in tractors.
The smaller types are much more
easily handled. Experienced gar-
deners advise buying more and
smaller, power units, rather than
a big heavy tractor with a lot
of attachments.
Planting Calendar
Flowers and vegetables arrange
themselves in three convenient
main planting groups. First come
those things which will stand a
lot of frost. In fact most of them
can be sown just as soon as we
can get out on the ground in the
spring. In this hardy category are
cosmos, snapdragons and . sweet
peas among the flowers, and let-
tuce, radish, peas and spinach
among the vegetables.
Then come the semi -hardy
things, like petunias, nasturtiums,
zinnias among the flowers and
beets, cabbage, beans, etc., among
the vegetables.
Last are the tender plants
which if a frost does not kill out-
right will damage them so severe-
ly that they will actually lag be-
hind later plantings. Examples are
dahlias and gladiolus in flowers,
and in vegetables melons, cucum-
bers, corn and the )vain planting
of potatoes. Of course with the
vegetables especially we can rush
the season a bit. Usually a few
rows of corn and potatoes are
risked heading of time. In the
seed catalogue, the various de-
grees of hardiness will be shown.
On most seed packets, too, there
is some indication of the proper
time to plant, in addition to other
vital information like soil and
sunshine requirements and depth
to plant and how far to thin.
