A bull's daughters, tested under varying conditions as in service in an artificial Breeding Unit, is the supreme test. The daughters of Glenafton Benefactor and Elmcroft Tradition were tested in a few herds that are better than average.

All motions were carried and council adjourned to meet again in regular session on Monday afternoon. March 14. (Continued from Page 2) soil and developed barren soils into economic assets, as in the tobacco area of Southern Ontario and in fortnerly desert land in Australia. The search for new chemicals for use as insecticides is continu- ous and one of the latest is a group of phosphorus compounds capable of absorption through the roots and leaves of plants rendering the whole plant toxic to certain in- sects. thus removing the necessity of covering the entire plant with sprays or dusts. Badly needed are chemical fungicides than can be similarly absorbed by the plant and give protection against plant diseases such as blight and rust. Already, antibiotics, originally se- lected for controlling diseases of warm blooded animals, have been used in the control of fireblight of apples and pears in the United States. Canadian and other plant pathologists are testing many chemicals for their value in con- trolling such diseases as leaf and stem rustof wheat, Some of them, calcium sulfamate for instance, show promise. Plant breeders are using pro- ducts developed by the chemist, such as colchicine, to alter ma- terially the 'character of the plants they work with in the production of new and improved varieties. The role of the chemist in pro- ducing synthe i fibres like rayon and nylon is ell known, and this same proces of synthesis is being extended rapidly into new fields. Inedible fats and proteins are be- ing converted into palatable, nu- tritious food for both animals and man. New products are being de- veloped from residues and wastes —building hoards and paper from straw; furfural for nylons from corn cobs and oat hulls; penicillin from unused corn steep liquor. All these contributions of the chemist, however, are of value on- ly after the extension worker, the farmer, and the industrialist, have been able to harness them in such a way as to make their use econ- omically feasible. The herbicide 2,4-D has made a remarkable con- tribution to farming because of the enterprise of the farmer in ex- ploiting its intelligent use. Other- wise, it might have been relegated to the museum of organic chemi- cals along with many other com- pounds which may never be ex- ploited. This is a summary of an address by Dr. J. C. Woodward, Chief of the Chemistry Division, Science Service. Ottawa, to the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement As- sociation.

This year a special high school award will be given for the high team of three boys representing a high school in Huron County. Five high schools in the county will display educational exhibits based on lower production costs through the use of better soils, crops, grading and selecting. According to G. W. Montgom- ery, agricultural representative for the county, entrtes close March 2. Over 6,000 prize lists have been mailed to farmers in the county. President of the association is R. H. Proctor, R.R. 5, Brussels.

WANTED BARTENDER "Must have ability to cater to a very discriminating club membership. Appearance and use of English language impor- tant. A MUST is no drinking habits." Strange, but true. This is a part of an actual advertisement. A MUST for liquor dispensers is total ab- stinence ,if efficiency is the objective. Plane pilots, loco- motive engineers, hockey play- ers (if they wish to reach the big time), must curb their personal liberty in this mat- ter. Yes, even the liquor bar- ons, makers of beer, wine and hard liquor, know the facts about indulgence and the re- sultant loss of efficiency. "Wanted, bartender. A MUST —no driking habits."—(Advt.).
