The Victory Loth
Canada's Eighth Victory Loan
campaign, which opened on Mor day,
is now in full swing. It is much too
early to predict the final. result,, .'but.
there is .no fear but that the objective
will be reached and passed. '
It is true that the struggle is in its
last stages as far as Germany is con-
cerned, but the war is not yet won.
There is still much fighting to do.
Thousands of liyes will yet be sacri-
ficed and millions upon millions .will
yet have to be expended on supplies
for our three, armed services.
The need is as great as it ever
was; the loan • objective is great-
er and the loyalty of the Cana-
dian people is true. It is a lot of
money to ask for, but we have a lot
to lend. Because the end of the war
in Europe is drawing to a close, will_.
not affect the result. It will be re-
membered that back in 1918, a Vic-
tory Loan campaign was in progress
when the Armistice was signed,
which gave a great boost to the loan,
andthe objective was tar.. over-
reached.
We are no longer fighting with our
'backs to the wall, so that the need
for money may not be any greater
than in any of the former Victory
Loans. But it is easier to lend when
victory is in sight, . than when'" we are
in mortal danger. Consequently, the
response to this loan should be an
immediate and generous -one.

Seven Died In O f ce \ -
President Roosevelt became the
seven\th President of the United
Btatis to die in office. Three. were
assassinated, three died in bed, and
what is a curious fact is that every
President elected at 20 -year • inter-
vals since 1840, has died in office.
When as Governor of New York,
Mr. Roosevelt was making his first
trial for the presidency, Mrs. Roose-
velt was asked if she thought his
health would stand the strain, be-
cause infantile paralysis had crippled
him for life, she replied:
"If his illness couldn't kill him, the
White House certainly can't."
She was wrong. But he gave his
life in the interests of his country
as truly as any American soldier,.
sailor or airman has done or will do.

History Revived .
Long -buried and half forgotten
bits of history were revived as
British soldiers smashed into Han-
over, capital of the old Hanover
'Kingdom. Because it was Hanover
that gave Great Britain the Georges,
the first .of whom despised and hated
England, and the third of whom was
King when England lost the Ameri-
can colonies.
For well over a century British
kings ruled Hanover, as well as Bri-
tain, the kingdoms only being separ-
ated' on the succession of Queen.. Vic-
toria to the British - throne, and
Hanover got a British King, in Vic-
toria's uncle, the Duke , of Cumber-
land.
Queen Victoria always maintained
a lively interest in Hanover and its
kings's family, but 'was. entirely out ,
of sympathy with their policy. In
1863, when Prussia was preparing
to make war on Austria, the Queen
wrote King George of Hanover, Ahe
grandson of the first King, in these
words:,
`All the more would I beg you, as
ninth aa lies in your power, to pre-
vent a weakening of Prussia which

could tattle him and threw in his
lotitI 4ustrla.Prussia won and
he lost his kingdom of Hanover.
The recent fighting in Germany
has also brought out some of the in-
tereatx lg ironies of history. British
and Amerrcan armies, which tried to
annihatteeach other when George
111 vitas king, and the American War
of Independence was in progress,
are today . fighting together in the
streets of Hanover.
Recently, also, when the American
army was passing through Cassel,
there was many a German -American..
fighting man in that army that could
have . found a distant cousin, if he
had searched hard enough. Because
it was from that German town that
the British hired 22,000 Hessian
Mercenaries to fight the Americans
in the revolution. When the States
gained their independence, many of
these German soldiers decided . to
stay in America, where they settled
down and raised families, whose
descendants are now in American
armies fighting the Germans.

No House Cleaning
0;V -free yeamil AIM k
We have always held the firm con -
Action that all women love house-
cleaning. If we are right—and noth-
ing will ever change that view—
there is one woman in the United
States—the first lady in the land at
that—who is going to be, very much
disappointed when . she moves into
her new home in a week or so.
When Airs. 'harry S. ' Truman
moves into the White House she will
be the first President's wife to find
modern equipment, good beds, no
rats, and a complete household Staff:
For all of which Mrs. Franklin D. --
Roosevelt is responsible.
During the dozen years of her
residence, Mrs. Roosevelt installed
many improvements for the comfort
of the White House occupants.
Inadequate and rusty drains were
removed. Pantries and dumb -wait-
ers appeared, Glass enclosed -show
erswere set up in the old fashioned
bathrooms. New mattresses were
placed on the beds. Air-cooling
went in. .
And rats, which had over -run the
place for decades, went out—after a
long, long fight.

Wearing Out
Since the beginning of the warthe
number of passenger cars on the
roads in the United States has drop-
ped " from, 29,000,000 to 23,000,000,
and there are less than 10,000 new
cars in stock to meet vital needs.
According to the United States
News, that although present cars
now have ' a life of eight years,
against four beforethe war, cars are
going off the roads at the rate of
4,000 a day, and the decline in motor
transportation is not now looked up-
on as a mere inconvenience or the
loss of a pleasant luxury, but repres-
ents a major problem in. transporta-
tion in that country.
...The News puts the situation in
these words: "The country's trans-
portation system is headed for. a
breakdovfn if the supply of, cars
drops to 20,000,000," which there
would appear to .be every possibility
of its doing.
For further -comfort, the papery al-
so adds that there is every probabil-
ity that it will be the middle of 1946
before cars are produced. in any `sub-
stantial numbers, even if the war in
Europe does end this ,spring. Conse-
• quently, the average family will be
lucky indeed if its gets its long ..look-
ed for new car along -about the end
of 1947.
• What the 'situation is in 'Canada
hasnever been intimated in govern-,,
went figures, possibly because we
have been unable to count on an
early terminatign, 'of the war: Pos-
sibly too,_because of our smaller ,pop-
illation and tremendously war- ex-
panded panded automobile industry, we ay
.•
,get cars earlier thanour cousins
across the line. But even here' o-

importance of Annuals For Pasture
Greater attention to perennial pas-
tdire during recent years has undoubt-
edly increased the total amount of
feed produced, but the production of
evenly distributed pasture throughbut
the season bas not been achieved.°A
flush of feed is still followed by a
pronounced shortage a few months
later, consequently, .Pastures must be
Supplemented- by ;an annual crop to
maintain the supply of feed through-
out the growing season in sufficient
abundance for the needs of the stock
carried, says B. J. Finn, Division of
Forage Plants, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa.
'The 'choice of an annual crop will
depend upon its suitability to the dis-
trict, its cost of production and the:
particular season of year when graz-
ing- will be needed. Some of the
crops which have been tested as sup-
plementary pastures are fall rye, oats
alone or in combinations with Sudan
grass and millets. Soybeans, sorg-
hums, rape, kale and corn have also
been to'Sted.
Fall rye seeded as early as August
lst will provide'late fall' pasture. If
seeded later than September 1st, it
will net provide pasture until the fol-
lowing spring. It ,should beseeded
at 11/z to 2 bushels . per acre' on well

ity.
The use of oats as an •an „ al pas-
ture is.' becoming „popular. Varieties
snob. as Roston and Beaver, whidh
are resistant to both stem and leaf
rust, will give ekcelleri't grazing if
seeded about the middle o'f May at
21/2 to 3 bushels per acre. The date
of seeding may 'be varied, depending'

not thrive on cold soil.
A mixture of two bushels of oats
and Sudan grass at 20 pounds per
acre supplies' considerably more pas-
ture than oats or Sudan grass°alone.
The oats will furnish early ,pasture
While' the. Sudan grass makes its best
growth when the soil gets warm and
usually after thea oats have been graz;
ed off. This mixture should be seed-
ed about June 1st. . .
Millet as an emergency crop may
he seeded late—even as late as July
15th --provided moisture conditions
are favorable. It is not as well adapt-
ed as oats to cool seasons, but under
such conditions it does better than
Sudan grass. Tlie rate of seeding is
20 to 3Q pounds per acre and it may
be pastured when it is 10 inches to
one 'foot in height.
The above annual crops may be us-
ed to good- advantage along with the
hay aftermath from early cut clover,
alfalfa or .legume -grass mixtures,
which often provides excellent 'late
summer pasture.

the glove in fresh water, and allow

interesting cure for a horse with a
