Liquid Fertilizer Liquid fertilizer applied as a seed treatment an wheat, oats, or bar- ley at Federal Experimental Sta- tions in Western Canada, has failed to produce significant increases in yields, accordtirlg to information compiled by Dr. P. O. Ripley, Chief of the Field Husbandry Divisson, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa. The tests were conducted, based on an idea which has been sug- gested recently, that very small amounts of plant food nutrients dissolved in water, and applied as a seed treatment, may result in substantially increased yields. The idea has not been confirmed by these experiments. The treatment used was to mois- ten 10 bushels of grain with one gallon of a 5-10-5 solution of liquid, fertilizer. This was compared with a check plot receiving no fertilizer treatment and also with plots re- ceiving 35 to 54 pounds of 11-48-0 commercial fertilizer. The tests were conducted at 33 different points. These areas cen- tred around the Experimental Sta- tions at Brandon, Melita and Mor- den in Manitoba; Indian Head, Swift Current and Scott in Saskat- chewan; Lethbridge, Lacombe and Beaverlodge in Alberta, and Agas- siz in British Columbia. At 24 of the test areas the seed treatment either had no effect at ill or reduced the yield in compari- son with the untreated check. In five cases there was a very slight ncrease of ore to one and a hall' bushels per acre, and in four of he firsts there was to increase of from about three bushels to, in one case, 10 bushels Per acre. In one test at Beaverlodge, wheat moistened with w•pter gave a slight- ly higher yield than when treated with liontd ler;ili'e', it was evident that fertilizer in t,ufficient atrcl`nts was beneficial since in .2S cares where 11-48-0 was substantial increases were o`.`ta'nerr. In only three of the test aivois was ihl'r•e no increase in Provide plenty of clean nests and collect eggs frequently. Dirty eggs are a liability to everyone. Cool the eggs quickly and pack in crates with the small end down.

Once upon a time, there was a writer. His name was Horatio Alger, Jr. And, when Father was a boy Grandfather was not so old, either, books and like "Bound to Rise" and "Strive and Succeed" were very popular indeed. Almost all Alger's stories told of o poor boy (L who saved a rich man from serious injury And, always, the poor boy became rich himself . , Today, we are not at all sure this is the best way to get rich. Rich men are few. And most of them seem quite competent at keeping from under the feet of {cf� Or worse. runaway horses i t, or automobiles. However, all of us confidently feel we are -- 1-- "Bound to Rise." Our desire is to"Strive and Succeed." And we feel one of the best ways to do this is by opening a Savings Account with The Dominion Bank. It is a good thing to read books j about how to succeed.

Ken Doig, Perth, Scotland, Writes His Mother, Mrs. Paul Doig, on Sports In a recent letter to his mother, Mrs. Paul Doig, Egmondville, Ken Doig, of Perth, Scotland, tells some more of his sporting activities: "I received your letter this morn ing when I was still in bed. After i read it I got up and had some ..reakfast. I went down to Joe An- 'erson's for a golfing lesson. He is ery pleased with the way I swing lid hold the club. He says if I :tick in and practice I can become a very good golfer and even make c. living at it. The weather has been very bad and I haven't had a game for about two months, but I managed a round on Tuesday and two on Wednesday,' Our hockey team is doing great and we are tied for the to of the league with 26 points. I am the second top scorer on our team, and am ninth or tenth in the league. I have about 60 points in 38 games. There are 16 more games to play yield. It appears, therefore, that the minute amounts of plant food added in the seed treatment do not produce a significantly -increas- ed yield The use of liquid fertilizers in this way is of doubtful economy and may even result in decreased yields. •' in the league we are ploying now, and then the playoffs. The top tour 1` anis plias off for the Corona- tion Cup. Perth hasn't won it 'rove before the war, so we are doing a bit of hoping, combined with :ionic good playing, and 1 think we tvil; vain it this year.

Ma's steady United States dollar earners, show that the Batehei variety has outstripped both th old standard varieties, Green Moun tain and Irish Cobbler, and in 195 made up 42 per cent of the tota seed produced in Canada. Canada's exports of certified see potatoes have increased from a fe bushels since the industry wa started in 1915 to a record high o 7.6 minion bushels shipped fro the 1948 crop to 15 countries throughout the world. The Unite States alone absorbed 87 per ce of the total seed exports. The pr duction of seed potato varietiesCanada is governed to a consider able extent by export requirements and particularly by varietal prefer ences in the United; States, J. W Scannell, Assistant `Chief of the Deo partment of Agriculture's Divisio of Plant Protection at Ottawa a cently pointed out. Comparing seed potato produc tion in Canada and the United) States, Mr. Scannell said that cer- tifying °redeye south of the border have reported that the Katandin variety, showing a total production of about 164 million bushels, re- presented nearly one-third of all the certified seed potatoes produc- ed in the United States during 1950: In Canada this same variety made up about 42 per cent of the total seed produced in 1950, the acreage building up from a single acre in 1934 to 241/2 thousand acres ast year. For many years varieties like Green Mountain and Irish Cobbler have occupied the top production i;ots in the Canadian certified seed potato industry. Today, however, argely due to export demand the Katandin variety has taken over. Varietal trends in the United t cies also indicate declining pro- luction for the Green Mountain variety, and also for the Chippewa, 4eba,go and "triumph, with increas- ng. production indicated for Rus - et Burbank and White Rose. Increasing demand on the export market for Netted Gem (similar in ppearance and quality to Russet urbank) and White Rose has .rearit that these varieties are now een in the potato fields of New runswicli es well as in Western anada where they have been pop- lar for some years. Particularly British Columbia has the export White for hite Rose influenced eed production trends over the ast decade. This variety, officials oint out, has proved particularly ell adapted for the hot soil con- itions experienced in South Ameri- a and California and many B.C. eed growers contract to meet this emand when trade conditions are ivorable. r n e 0 1 d s t m d nt o - fn• n o- s s a B S B C 0 d s p w d c d f• Send one home to you.

Seaforth Native Celebrates 82nd Birthday • Robert Johns (Bob) Dunsmore, former newspaperman and post- master at St. Thomas, observed his 82nd birthday at his home in 'Wal- Iacetown, where he has resided since his retirement. Mr. Dunsmore, a native of •Sea - forth, in. Huron County, worked on many Canadian and United States newspapers as a, printer and re- porter before going to St. Thomas in the early nineties to take a posi- tion with The Times, then conduct- ed by Jonathan Wilkinson. 1V1any articles of his have appeared from time to time in The Huron Exposi- tor. A keen observer and a gifted writer he served in both a repor- torial and an editorial capacity un- til his appointment Feb. 1, 1916, to the position of Postmaster, suc- ceeding the late William H. In• gram. He was superannuated in 1934, being succeeded by E. M4 Orchard. While with The Times Mr. Duns - more originated The Onlooker Col- umn, conducting the same until his appointment as postmaster. He made the column a power in the community, using it to advocate many worthy causes, among them the formation of the -St. Thomas and Elgin Children's Aid Society and the establishmentof a zoo at Pinafore Park. The Children's Aid Society has since continued to flourish and to give laudable and "BOB" DUNSMORE essential service in the city and county, • but, unfortunately, the zoo, a valued attraction at Pina- fore for both young and old, pass- ed assed out of existence some time ago. The last of the zoo inhabitants to go were the two pairs of royal swans, which Mr. Dunsmore secur- ed in 1912 on his, own initiative from the late George V. (An effort is now being made to have two pairs of these regal birds brought from the royal estates in England to Pinafore during the coming spring). Except for. a "spot" of trouble with his eyes, Mr. Dunsmore is in good health. He keeps abreast of the times with both world and lo- cal happenings, and likes nothing better than taking his pen (or is it 1 typewriter?) in hand and dash- ing off an article, usually in a reminiscent vein, or a few verses of what he brands as "doggerel" on some timely topic. Some of these have recently been published in The Times -Journal to the delight of its readers. Never one to seek the limelight, "Bob" demurred at having his pic- ture taken when Photographer Jack Stollery called on him the other day—and only the threat '.hatan old picture, showing him wearing a high and stiffly starch- ed collar and how tie, would be published on his birthday, made hies submit to the ordeal. Mr. Dunsmore has countless friends in St. Thomas and district 'rid all of these will join with The Times -Journal in wishing him a happy 82nd birthday anniversary and many more of a similar nature. Offarter Inch To Comfort Just a. erection of an ineh varia- tion in shoe size can mean all the difference between comfort and foot misery. Ill-fitting shoes bring corns, calluses, bunions and in- grown toe -nails as well as tired lines in your face. Don't tell your shoe salesman what size shoe you want; let him measure your foot end tell you the size you need.

AN UNFORTUNATE FARMER CANADIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD by V. C. PORTEOUS * Director ONTARIO PLOWMEN'S ASSOCIATION This is the fifth of a series of weekly stories which V. C. Por- teous, a director of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, is writ- ing about the visit of Canada's champion plowmen to the British Toles. Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands. :ou have probably heard that Her Jarvis of Agincourt, the champio Canadian horse plowman, was th -'•inner of two trophies at the Ives of England Championship Plowin Match in Cornwall. They were fo hest overseas competitor an the best land in his class and no, curaily we are thrilled about it. It was a good day for plow•ing- -ome said it was the best - mate weather in years—and the soil cu it:e cheese. 1 would say most o the competitors were "artists" i the art of plowing. But unlik Canadian plowmen they used ev dry conceivable device to dress u their work. After the match we in 'petted the field and it was a beau tiful sight to behold. In the evening there was a ban •suet at which Herb was presented with the silver trophies he had won while Hugh Leslie, the champion Canadian tractor plowman, and I received books dealing with the ,history of Cornwall. In addition we received plaques bearing Corn wall's coat -of -arms. They will al- ways remind us of an occasion when we were entertained royally -.std treated lavishly. But. the variety of plowing meth- ods that I observed at the Corn- wall match only confirmed my opinion that what we need is a set of standard rules for international matches. When I was called upon to speak, I urged the adoption of some such rules and as this was -sported in the press I may hear from others here who share my ideas. Briefly the above are the high- lights of our visit to the south of England. As you have probably gathered from these letter3, most of which are written about 6 a.m., neither space nor time permits a detailed account of our travels. But I'll try to fill you in since the last letter which, if I remember right- ly, was written in Holland on the day we were leaving for Belgium. Thatday we drove to Arnhem, scene of one of the bloodiest en-, •a,^emrnts of the last war. It was here. in September, 1944, that the British First Airborne Division, which included many Canadians, ought with great valor for nearly' week against great odds. Only! .8+10 of these hard-pressed para - troopers managed to fight their way out of the trap. But in April of the following year, as you know, the British forces of the First Can- adian Army took Arnhem and then pressed on to the ":big kill." All of that took place about six years ago but there still is exten- sive shell and bomb damage to be seen, although we were told, and b could see, that a great deal of re- building and repair work has tak- e en place since the end of the war. t While there we visited what to Ogg us is a rather unusual business in - 1 st;tution. It is concerned mainly with structural estimates. This firm 1 estimates and pr^pares bids on con- trasts for structural undertakings from a house to a huge engineer- ing project. In order to do this f they maintain rssearoh and experi- mental laboratories; huge drafting rooms; record libraries and just about everything pertaining to en- gineer's estimates, R is the larg- _ est firm of its kind in the world, privately owned, and has been in business for fro years. From Arnhem wesodrove across the Netherland -Belgium border to Antwerp and then to Brussels, two • great Belgium cities that are so welt known to the lads who serv- ed 'here in the two world wars. i We visited the Belgium Agricul- tural Academy and Experimental Station. This institution is much like our Ontario Agricultural Col- lege a` Guelph but is is not engaged in fiele crop experimental work to the same extent as is O.A.C. Later we Chad dinner in Brussels with re- presentatives of the Belgium Agri - !cultural Council, the Department of Agriculture and the Esso Company in Belgium, who were our hosts. During the meal we learned a lot about agricultural conditions in Belgium and the country general- ly. The following day was Sunday 'but we were able to do some shop- ping for most of the stores were open. Later we visited the site of the Battle of Waterloo, about 12 miles from Brussels. In my mind insofar as British history is con- cerned, it is one of the most im- portant places in the world. The monument there is an earth mound 120 feet 'high which, we were told, was built entirely by women. On top of it there is a sort of pavilion from which one can see for miles in any direction. It houses a pan- oramic painting, the best I have evsr seen, of the battle. We did not see as much of BeI- gium as we wanted, because to be in Cornwall on schedule we had to take'the plane for London that night. To sum up our impressions of the continent the thing that stands out is the seeming indifference of the people to prospects of another war. It would almost appear that generations stow living here are so used to the idea of war that its inevitability is taken for granted. To me it's like living at the foot of a volcano, safe now, but for how long no one knows. The peoples of Denmark, Holland and Belgium differ from one. an- other in many respects but all of them are alike in their love of their country, ' It's my personal be- lief that the only solution to the problems of western Europe is un- ion °under one government, but I doubt, in the light of this national - i8:11, if it can be accomplished in the immediate future. The sad part is that these countries by them- selhEs are comparatively weak and represent easy prey for any aggres- sor, yet if they united they would he a tower of strength. They all have a sincere desire to protect themselves but they seem to be helpless under present conditions, .tt lelast, this is how it appears to B me. ut enough for now as we must get ready to leave for Northern England and then to Scotland.
