The Best in Plows
Whether or not the modern mould-
board plow is destructive to the soil
is a question that frequently excites
those whose livelihood depends on
working the land. The author of
Plowman's Folly contends that it is,
and advocates shallow plowing as
the best method of preserving the
soil's fertility year after year and
thus obtaining the highest yields in
crops. "It is interesting in this con-
nection," the Hamilton Spectator
points out, "to observe that the ex-
perience of farmers in Egypt con-
firms' much that is set forth in Plow-
man's Folly. They have been culti-
vating the land in Egypt for many
centuries and their methods have
changed little over the years. Their
ways are antiquated in that they use
a plow which turns a shallow furrow
and in many instances does scarcely
more than scratch the surface. Yet
the S-ields from the soil in Egypt are
said to be among the highest in the
world.
"Dr. James B. Harrington, a Can-
adian agriculturist from Saskatche-
wan University, who is adviser to
the Egyptian government, believes
that the ancient method of plowing
adhered to in that country is super-
ior to modern practices. He explains
that the plows used in Egypt are al-
most universally of the type first em-
ployed centuries ago. It consists of
a flattish, rounded piece of iron fas-
tened to the forward part of a wood-
en share. This is in turn attached
at an angle to a long beam of wood.
"The forward part of the beam
serves as a shaft between two oxen,
and the rear part curves upward to
be held as a control by the plowman.
The angle of the plow can be adjust-
ed for various depths by means of
wooden pegs. The furrow turned by
this type of plow resembles the work
done by one shovel of a duckfoot
cultivator.
"The soil in Egypt retains its
Witty, despite its centuries of culti
tion, a circumstance to which /old
Father Nile may contribute in no
small way, but the shallow method
of plowing is also given much of the
credit for maintaining the soil's
organic elements."

Billboard Nuisance
We in Canada and the United
States seem, in many cases, to have
become immune to a tendency to
hide scenery by means of ugly bill-
boards. From time to time protests
are raised, but they have been of a
nature that proved ineffective, and
the growth of blatant billboards con-
tinues unabated.
Discussing the tendency, the
Guelph Mercury feels the reason our
indignation has not reached the point
,where we take effective action is be-
cause we have not yet made the pro-
tection of beauty a sort of passion as
they have in England. "But the
time will come," the Mercury goes on
'to say, "if it is not already here,
when we shall regret the day when
we allow marring objects on the
Landscape. Besides, the beautiful
outdoors is not the place to adver-

What Other Papers Say:
Law Of Kissing
(Halifax Chronicle -herald)
A British Army court martial has
decided that it is no crime to kiss a
girl, in the dark, at a party. Tliis
ruling seems like a work of superero-
gation, for the practice is well estab-
lished and of long standing.
Whatever Blackstone and other
authorities may say about it, there
is a wealth of precedents. Common
law and practice, it would seem, long
since established the principle that a
pretty girl who lingers on a dark
terrace at a party may expect to be
kissed.
Indeed, she may be disappointed if ry
she is not!

Hospital For Birds
(Indian Information)
Delhi's Hospital for Birds—the
only one of its kind in Northern
India—is soon to have a three -stor-
ied building of its own to accommo-
date the growing number of sick and
injured "patients."
Established 20 years ago by a phil-
anthropic Jain family of Delhi, the
hospital at present consists of a dis-
pensary vofiich stocks unani, aurve-
dic, and allopathic medicines, a gen-
eral ward and a number of boxes
which serve as special wards for cas-
es which need segregation.
A full time bird doctor and dis-
penser look after patients of whom
over 1,000—pigeons, parrots, crows,
sparrows and even kites—are admit-
ted as indoor patients every month.
For any patient admitted, sick or in-
jured, tame or wild, no fees are
charged. But after recovery the
birds are not given back to their
owners. They are set at liberty.

I Took. a Holiday
(By R. J. Deachman)
Sit down for a moment while I
tell you the tale of a perfect day
and the things which brought it
about. I am writing from Metis in
the Province of Quebec, a place to
which I travel once a year to rest
my mind or is it my feet? I am at
this moment looking across the St.
Lawrence River. It's forty miles
wide at this point. Now and then
a ship moves into the 'range of
vision. The waters are restless
this morning; there was rain and
some wind last night. The waves
are lapping sharply along the
beach, when disturbed they make
a crackling sound. I wonder how
they can be so happy about it.
They have been doing it since time
began. Why should they worry if
man makes war against his broth-
er man? As for the St. Lawrence!
Farmers And Pyjamas
(St. Thomas Times -Journal)
The United States Department of
Agriculture appears to have gone off
the tracks the other day when it is-
sued a 192 -page booklet entitled
"Men's Preferences Among Clothing
Items." The publication which cost
$100,000 to produce, covered a great
deal of ground relating to men's
wearing apparel, and one chapter
was devoted to pyjamas. It gave
such valuable information as:
"Rich men have more pyjamas
than poor men;
"Pyjamas are worn more in cold
climates than warm climates;
"The more educated the man the
more likely he is to sleep in pyjamas;
"More men between the ages of 30
and 54 wear pyjamas than those in
the lower and higher brackets."
Interesting data, but what has
that to do with agriculture and those
who pursue that avocation?
We always thought farmers wore
nightgowns.

The Things People Lose!
(Peterborough Examiner)
We are an assiduous reader -of our
own classified advertisement pages.
These little advertisements reveal
the very heart of a district's domes-
tic life: the antique sofa for sale;
the boy's suit, size 11 (somebody
growing up pretty fast) ; the discreet
professional 'cards'; the child's play
pen wanted; the bargains in used
cars; the houses asked for or to be
let. We were particularly struck by
the Lost and Found section the oth-
er evening. There were the usual
lost' dogs answering to the names
`Mike', `Chum' and the like. The us-
ual `parties' who took—by mistake
of course—bicycles from here or
there are politely requested to return
same. The usual keys, wallets and
spectacles are being sought.
But who on Earth would walk off
with a one -gallon can of monument -
setting compound? The owner seek-
ing it assures all and sundry that "it
is good only for setting monuments"!
And how did the green and yellow
budgie, with ''"Joie" on its leg band,
go astray?
Here is the most jntriguing picture
of the evening's Lost and Founds:
"Lost: Mother duck and seven Young
Ones, pure white, with red on faces,"

Metis has a strange climate. It
faces the St. Lawrence which at
this point moves slowly towards
the ocean. When the sun rises it
warms the land. The temperature
of the St. Lawrence changes little
in the Course of the day. When
air is heated it rises and the cool
air off the St. Lawrence moved in
to take the place of the heated
air. So you may have a.' hot day
with a cool breeze. The strange
thing about it is that sometimes
one feels that he is living in two
climates at once; it takes some
time for the two currents of air to
mix. When the night falls the air
cools rapidly. Sleep, if your con-
science is clear, is a real delight.
The Americans have a good phrase
for it: "This must be one of the
most restful spots on earth."
"Time writes no wrinkle on thine
azure brow
Such as Creation's dawn beheld,
Thou rollest now'!"
* * e
On the morning of my first day
I went out to glimpse, once more,
a view I had seen before. A wo-
man with two small boys, was do-
ing the saine thing. "How rest-
ful!" I said, by way of making
conversation. She gave me a
strange answer: "My father," she
said, "always claimed that a river
or an ocean was more restful than
a like." I felt vaguely that this
was true, though I could give no
reason. So I met the statement,
with the normal reaction of- a
small boy, and said: "Why?"
"When we face a like," she an-
swered, ''we are conscious of its
boundaries—we want to push them
back to see beyond, but with a
great river or an ocean, there are
no boundaries." That's true. A
river like this has no source, no
destination. It comes from the
snows of winter, the rains of sum-
mer. It moves on till it mingles
with the ocean. In time it re-
turns to the starting point and re-
peats the process; there's some-
thing eternal about it. It has no
beginning and no end.

HERZ'S I EALTii
Seen in the County Papers
* a *
Came the night and with it a
sunset picture such as I have rare-
ly seen before. Dark clouds as-
sembled in the west. For a time
we expected the sun to go down
in a cloud, but something happen-
ed. The wind changed, the sun
broke through. We knew that if
this happened we would see a
Metis sunset at its best, and that
is something worth seeing. A gal-
lery had assembled in honor of
the event. The people were silent
awaiting the opening of the scene.
The sun passed through the clouds
—it brightened up the picture with
a wild blaze of glory. It made a
pathway of gold to the place where
we were sitting. It threw flas,es
of light on the slowly moving
clouds. .
A fish hawk streaked across the
open waters. He appeared as a
silhouette against the sky. He flew
in wide circles, standing at times
almost perfectly still in mid-air,
held there by the strange beating
of his wings, watching the waters
below. Then he would suddenly
plunge straight downward. It he
caught a fish he would carry it'.
over to a safe spot—dine at his
leisure.
Did he succeed in getting a fish?
I am not sure, but I have my
doubts. Onceor twice he landed
on rocks within my range of vi-
sion, but he took no time for
drinks or refreshments. I have
seen a fish hawk pluck fish out of
the water in broad daylight, but
fishing in twilight may have been
too much for the hawk. The sun
sank slowly to rest; its brilliant
colors fading into the darkness of
the night. The fish hawk circled
once or twice more as the dark-
ness deepened. Then he moved
down the river to the place where
he rests for the night. No, it is
not in a gallery that we find
earth's greatest pictures, but—
I sat looking out across the wa-
ter. When I turned she had gone.
I started to trace the St. Lawrence
to its source. In imagination I
went up the river, moving from
this little village where 1 feel that
I am standing on the ocean shore,
not even with a telescope can one
see the opposite side. I moved in
imagination through Lake Ontario,
the connecting rivers, then Lake
Erie, more rivers; then on the
shore of Lake Huron, I came to
the town of Goderich, a spot I
know fairly well. The Maitland
River enters Lake Huron at Gode-
rich and the North Branch of the
Maitland River runs through the
farm on which I wasb`orn_ I see
now as I never saw before that
the lite of a river is a constant
effort to reach the ocean, only to
be lifted into the clouds and car-
ried back by the winds to the
place from which it came to re -

There is still considerable
threshing to be done, although dur-
ing the 'last three days of this
week considerable has been ac-
complished. Farmers report that
with the exception -of fall wheat,
the late threshing has not harmed
the . grain a great deal, except to
discolor it somewhat. glh1► bean
crop does not look too good. There
has been considerable infestation
of rust on the leaves. Grain corn
growers are a bit pessimistic as to
whether the fine weather will con-
tinue long enough to mature the
crop. Most of it is still in the milky
stage. Quite large amounts of high
quality second -cut hay have been
stored during the. past week and
the feed outlook for the coming

Grow King -Sized Spuds
spoil the insulating value, but cre-
ate a suffocating blanket as well.
Leaves are frequently used but are
often unsatisfactory for this rea-
son. Whenever they are used they
should be removed early in the
Spring before they have a chance
to pack down. Straw is a little
better but has the same fault.
Wherever they are used to cover
climbing roses, these materials
should be covered with roofing
paper or some other waterproof
material to keep out the wet, but
this is not practical over the whole
perennial border.
New insulating materials are
proving of value in districts where
over winter mulch is necessary.
Blankets of rock wool and glass
fibre have proved satisfactory ex-
perimentally and should prove use-
ful for owners of small borders in
districts where insulation is need-
ed. The same materials are useful
for wrapping rose bushes and oth=
er tender shrubs. They are, of
course, more expensive than na-
tural mulches but for the city
dweller probably they are easier
to obtain.
Insulating Plants For Winter
Fortunately for gardeners most
cold climates have fair snowfall.
It is nature's way of protecting
plants and the best insulating ma-
terial at the lowest cost. In wind-
swept sites, however, some provi-
sion must be made to hold the pro-
tecting cover of snow on the
plants. For this and other rea-
sons It is advisable to have a thick
hedge or planting of shrubbery on
the windward side of the garden
or a covering of spruce branches
over each bed. If a covering of
snow can be maintained there is
no need for other insulation, says
R. W. Oliver, Central Experimen-
tal Farm, Ottawa.
Unfortunately, there are many
sections where a good snow cov-
ering cannot be maintained due to
'fluctuations in rteuiperature, 'The
winter of 1949-50 was notoriously
bad all over and much damage to
'herbaceous plants resulted. Sud-
den freezes after a thaw cause the
ground to heave, breaking the
roots and exposing them to drying
action; as well as the extraction
of moisture from the cella of
woody plant 'tissue and canting,

conditions an insulation malofa•
