The hard. working man and. his wife were Pier- re and Madame Marie Curie, chem ists. The latter was a native of Pol- and named Marie Schlowdowski. The date was 1898. Lt was a brilliant dis- covery;••• opening .the way for a new and effective treatment of cancer. 13y this discovery Marie Ourie, a thio delicate wisp of a woman, made her- self one of the great benefactors of mankind. Radium is made from pitchblende, a black -looking substance containing the oxide of uranium. The richest source of pitchblende is on the ,shores of Great Bear Lake in North Wes Canada. This recent discovery and the subsequent refinement of radium at Port Hope, Ontario, has changed the entire face of the radium problem. Five years ago a milligram of radium east about $70.00. Ni<9w the same quantity may be purchased for $30. In the treatment of cancer, radium ,s used in two forms: first as the ele- ment and second as radium ens_ana- tion or radium gas, usually called radon. Radon is made in a compli- cated arrangement of glass and steel called an emanation plant. In this plant the gas, continually passing off from a store of radium is washed, ;ld,�,ed 'i^ndll Orb, In tgeetlitUi4 these ;e fi (4 the laroNetbi and eenletimxeR lett there.

Next article: "Quack Remedies.' (Readers desiring : the commpdete set of Dr. McCullough's cancer articles may have same by writing the Health League of Canada, 105 Band' St., To - route, Out): Accredited and Supervised Herds Three plans are in operation by the Health of Animals Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture for the eradication of bovine tuber- culosis, namely, the accredited' herd plan, the supervised' herd plan, and the restricted area plan. The object of the first plan is the eradication of the disease le pure-bred breeding 'herds. These ,herds are tuberculin tested free of charge by salaried vet- erinary inspectors. To be eligible for acceptance under this plan, a herd must contain at least five.pure bred cattle of one breed, registered in the applicant's name. The number of reg- istered pure breds must, however, comprise. ao levet one-third. of the to- tal number of cattle in the herd. 'As soon 'as a herd Blas 'passed two annual or three • semi-annual tests without an animal showing signs of the disease, and contains at least ten registered pure breds, it is designat- • ed a "Tuberculosis -free Accredited Herd," Oompeusatlea is paid for 3'e' actors—that is, those animals which stew signs of the disease as a re- sult of the test—and:is basad on two-.. thirds of the valuation placed upon the animals by veterinary inspectors pf the Health of Animals Branch. The maximum am unt of oompensa. tion permitted•, under the Anienal con- tagious Diseases Act is $100 for pure. brevis and "$40 for grades•. No com- pensation is paid, however', for cattle affected with lumpy jaw, nor for grade bulls which reaet to the test. Such animals, nevertheless, m es t b e slaughtered under federal inspection. The ,seapervised 'herd plan is a sin- gle herd policy applicable to grade herds. irrespective of the number of pure bred or grade animals they con- tain. No compensa,.tion• is paid for an- imals imals -that react to the test, but the owner receives whatever proceeds there nay be from the salvage. Own- ers placing their herd under this• plan must agree to slang reactors, to promptly cleanse and disinfect their premises, and to keep their cat- tle from doming in contact With un- tested animals. If a, herd is not main- tained on the premises, breeding Op- erations must be restricted to a test- ed .animal. The restricted area plan has for its object the 'eradication •of tuberculosis ill definite areas.

Report Bruce County reports very little m'ov'ement in grain and hay, with some alfalfa going into meal at $6, to .$7 a ton 'for second 'cut. Duffer* re- ports its .chief cash crop, t potatoes, not selling at a very hibh figure, prices ranging from 35 cents to 50 cents a bag. The yield of late pota- tees there is not expected to be as 4ilgh as last year, In Halton interest Is keener in feeder .cattle and lambs than in some years. This is largely due to excellent fall pastures and -abundant roughage 'for winter feed- ing. Halton barns! are full and stacks of hay and grain numerous through- out the county. There is a large quantity of second erop and dome third crop alfalfa being cut there .this year. Alfalfa need, is in strong de- mand with buyers offering from $10 to as high as $13.25 for seed in the rough, but quality is below normal due to sprouting and 'weathering. Perth Chas harvested one of the best crops of corn in many years. The root, .crop- is• also exceptionally good. North Simooe reports cattle in bet- ter than average condition and more feeders than usual being secured by farmers -in the county. Turnips are being shipped in Waterloo, with a price of 18 cents per bushel being paid. Wellington reports buckwheat, mangels, corn and potatoes somhewtat better than average crops. Pastures there continue in excellent ,shape and the large importations of cattle and sheep on tligse pastures are doing ex- tremely xtremnely well. In Haldimandi livestock is reported as in excellent condition. A tremendous increase is evident there in the number of feeders brought in from the West. Fall wheat acreage there is ,only about 50 per cent. of normal. Lincoln County will have probably 90 per cent. as- much smuch fall wheat sown this year as last. There is, a demand in Lincoln for pullets for winter laying. In Nerthu•m'berland the canning factor- ies have -completed tomato canning. Fortunately n'o heavy frosts occurred and the yield per acre was normal, reaching as high as 600 bushel's to the acre in one or two fields but av- eraging about 200 bushels: In Ontario County eorn was an excellent crop but badly lodged and many farmers cut their corn by hand. The mangel crop in York promises to be a heavy one. Farmers in Leedts have found difficulty in obtaining sufficient farm" help,. In Manitoulin the demand for cattle is keen and the general condi- tion better than usual. Several boat loads k•f' . finished and feelder stuff 'hove been shipped and four Lamb Fairs are being held this.. month. Storing Machinery Proper care should be exercised at all times to protect the large invest- ment in farm machinery from rapid deterioration. Heat, moisture, . wind, frost and direct sjn'light are the most destructive elements encounter- ed by farm equipment. Storage means protection against these. deteriorating effects during dire' inactive lite of tee machines and has been found to be the greatest single factor in prolong- ing the life of farm machinery. The most active period of deterioration is during the season of machine. use. It is important, however; to protect ma- chinery the year around from the ef- fects of weather. Generous use of paint on all wood and metal parts, wherever the original has worn thin, and the removal to a dry shed , of all slats, canvasses, .knives, plough -shares, .cultivator teeth, etc.; immediately the machine is out of use, will help pro- long the useful life of the ianplement, Pack all bearings• with the correct grade of lubricant. Cover all expos- ed metal parts worn bright from use with did crankcase or transmission oil before' putting the machine aside even Par a few days. This will keep out all dirt and moisture from the bearings and' off the wearing surfaces, thus preventing excessive wear due to rust. Clean all seed from drill box es, make sure that all dirt is remov- ed from plouglh or one -Way disk bot- toms and that they are well greased before leaving; All straw, grain or weeds should be thoroughly -cleaned: from binders, combines, separators, cultivators, disks, etc., before greas- ing and ;painting for storage. Bright sunlight and moisture cause exposed parts to warp and crack, paint applied early will prevent this destruction. Metal -parts exposed will rust ani wear; grease or paint will save these surfaces. Inside storage of grain boxes, wood- en drills, wagon running gears, and wooden separators is desirable, but not essential. Outside storage of ma- chinery has been, found highly suc- cessful when proper care has been exercised to protect against animals and weather by good fences, the as•e of paint and prop:- lubricants, Harvesting the Potato Crop The time has arrived what .the late potato trop is to be harvested and. growers • should give . careful thought to ways and means ,of eliminating, as fax as possible, a lot of the unneces- sary tuts and bruises 'whiih result frim careless or poor harvesting and handling Many growert. seem to lose sight of.

These machines, t o o, should have the moving parts adjust- ed or padded so that the tubers do root bruise, Growers and dealers alike should see to it that a good pack is put on the market: All off -grade tubers should be removed, the sacks should be clean, and the bags should be full weight when packed. , Good qual- ity will always result in repeat or- ders. This .applies as much to seed as it does to table potatoes. Just An Accident A pleasant Sunday afternoon in the country. Thousands of happy famil- ies "out for a drive," whizzing along on a typically picturesque Ontario highway. Suddenly, around a curve-••- screanis, the shriek of - brake's and tires, a terrific crash,, the screech of tearing •metal, the sickening shatter of glass, • agonizing moans,then a deathly moment of silence. A man, one arm hanging limp, crawls from the wreckage. One ear has been flayed from the side of his head. He leans - over someone else in the car, then 'collapses. Help comes' almost immediately. Limp, broken bodies are dragged from the wreckage and laid on the .road- side. A thin red stream trickles ov- er the, running -board of the car and forms a pool on the highway. .Oise body is covered over with a blanket. Two others' are rushed to the hospi- tal; there may still be time to -save them. A bystander peers curiously into the back of the car. He turns away 'with a shaid,d'er and is violently sick; Someone else fishes out an arm and_ tucks it under the blanket beside the still body. Horrible, isn't it? But neither un- common• nor exaggerated. It is situp- ly a factual report of one of the 1;01 motor accidents in 1936 which re- tulted in fatalities. The headline in tlie' newspaper next day read some - .thing like: "ONE DEAD IN CURVE CRASH, TWO. IN HOSPITAL MAY ,DIE." You've seen --dozens of head- lines just like it, but- how often do you stop to think ofthe hideous pic- ture in-tu're of blood and, pain and death which lies behind them. Accidents are horrible. Horrible to dear 'and look at. . Horrible in the pain .and agony and sorrow- they bring. Most horrible in the realize - tan 'that THEY NEED NOT HAP- PEN! In; Ontario, the Department ' of Highways is determined they will not happen. But to prevent them, it needs your help. You must drive (and • walk) carefully, sanely. YOU MUST STOP TAKING CHANCES! And you must make sure that others do the same thing by reporting those who endanger lives by 'reckless driv- ing. Dismiss ' any silly . prejudice which suggests "it's none of your business." It is your business! It is one of your responsibilities to yourself and to the community. It is one of your duties- as a citizen-- and,.•.it is one of your duties•. as a liu- m'an being to :help save others from a needless death or injury. YOU ARE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER! - Fruit Prospects The commercial apple crop in On- tario is now estimated at 759,800 bar- rels, as compelred with 703,500 bar- rels' in 1936, or an increase of 8 per, cent. An increase ''of •26 per cent. in the section of the province west of Torohto, more than offsets a reduc- tion. of 16 per cent, in orchards east of Toronto. Peaches are 25 per cent. greater volume, being placed et 503,000 'bushels this season, as against 902,300 bushels last year; and plume, while a decidedly light crop, are esti-1 orated at 52,700 bushels, a gain of 28 per cent. over the extremely small Taut f 10,0 f . >lght; "I 014.80 ytearp ,p �,,�,� age," a $' wrl'tee,.

Pear production shows a decline of 22 per cent., at 153,500 bushels as compared with 196,800 bushels a year ago. Apples are sizing particularly well ,and Colouring has improved greatly' with the cooler ' weather prevailing during the past two weeks. Recent winds have caused some loss in'East- ern .Ontario, and several localized ar- eas-in r-eas-in Western Ontario, especially in. Georgian Bay and Middlesex districts. Infestation of Apple Maggot is lighter this season, and Corky Core is prac- tically absent in most districts. Side- wdrm injury is variable and there is oonsidelrable se .b -showing, ,particu- larly in Eastern Ontario. „Picking of McIntosh is now under way in many orchards. Export move- ment has been light so far, but larger shhhpments will be forwarded in the next few days. In clean and 'well - sprayed orchards buyers are paying as ,high as $3.00 per barrel for Mc- Intosh on the trees, $2.50 for Snows, and $2.100 for other varieties. Truck movement has not reached heavy pro- portions yet. Plums have sized good, but unfav- orable weather -conditions causing de- cay adversely affected the production, of early and mid-season varieties. Late varieties are in good condition. The sizing of peaches has been ex- cellent, but somewhat offset by brown rot conditions. 'i51i`e Elberta erop now being harvested Shows very little loss. The weather has been favorable for the development of ' all.•'varieties of pears, but worm injury is quite •prem alerit in :many Ba'4lett orchards. The grape crop is sizing and color- ing well, with .generally compact bunches. Tire Hopper damage is more patchy this season than usual, and in some vineyards quite .severe' injury has occurred. Otherwise pests are well under control.
