THE CALENDAR SAYS ITS
SPRING '
'Flu calendar says this is the first
(lay of Spring—but docs the weather-
man know it? Apparently not, for
this district is in the grip of real win-

the best part of 6 inches, have fallen
since A[on(!ay morning, and tempera-

Quite a shock after the fine spring

before the evening ended they had
everyone afraid to move, Lion Don.,

Even the President fell prey to the
snips. One guest took his tie off end

so because of the law of supply and

then so is everyone else." The source
of grief with many farmers is linked
up in three phrases, "Sales too Low—
Losscs too High — Production too

Well, the power of suggestion

I finally succumbed to "radio flu"
-or colds, or something that was
equally unpleasant, But we man-
aged to stagger our afflictions -
Partner was just nicely recover-
ing from his bout when I went
down with mine. So that made
things easier but not a bit more
pleasant. I haven't got over the
snuffey stage yet and tonight I was
trying to figure out what 1 would
like for supper - that wouldn't be
too much trouble and yet be good
for a cold, Suddenly :memory took
me back through the years . , . and
I was a child again and mother was
doctoring me with a simple, home
remedy as she always did.
I don't know when aspirin came
into general use but I certainly
can't remember it being used
when I was young. Mother's rem-
edies did not come from the pa-
tent medicine counter. No, at the
first sign of a cough or cold we
children had to sit with our feet
in a hot mustard foot -bath before
going to bcd. We were undressed
first and sat with a woollen blan-
ket wrapped around us - this
was so we could hop into bed
quickly directly we started to
perspire. While our extremities
were soaking our beds were being

tainly know what I mean by a
"stone pig" but in case there are
others who don't, maybe I had
better explain. A stone pig was a
sort of hot water bottle, made of
creamy color ironstone -ware and
the shape of it really did >:escntble
a nice, fat little pig. \\'e used to
fill it \vith boiling \rater, wrap it
ftp in a flannel jacket -and then,
I'm telling you, it kelt hot for
hours,
As soon as we were in bed
Mother came along with a bottle
of camphorated oil -previously
warmed by standing the bottle in
hot water. Our chests were rub-
bed back- and front until they were
red. 'Then nice hot pieces of
flannel were fastened in some way.
so they stayed on our chests and
back.s That done Mother hustled
off to the kitchen, In a few min-
utes she would be back again with
bowls of steaming hot bread and
milk or "pepper sop", Pepper sop
was bread soaked in hot milk and
water, dotted with butter. and
sprinkled liberally with pepper.
My sister loved it but I didn't
like pepper so I was allowed plain
bread and milk. And the wav my
mother made bread and milk was
out of this world. I have seen
other folk make it for children -
just by putt"ng little squares ,of
bread in a plate and pouring hot
milk over them. But Mother
broke up a slice of bread, dropped
it into cold milk, and then brought
the bread and milk to boil togeth-
er. This made it nice and creamy
-with plenty of brown sugar it
was delicious.
Small wonder with all this care
our colds were generally "sweat-
ed" out of us in sort order, help-
ed along by a generous dose of
liquorice powder! I was the only
one who often slid not respond
taro quickly but had a way of de-
veloping bronchitis instead. It
was then that mother would fall
back on her ' favourite patent
cough medicine-Owbridgcs Lung
Tonic, I think I ant safe in men-
tioning this, trade name as I
haven't seen it mentioned for
years so I imagine it is now ex-
tinct. If Otwbridgc's didn't work .
then I was dosed with inccacuall-
ha wine -a bitter tasting concoc-
tion used as an emetic. I recall
so well that I can even remember
how to spell it! I also remember
Mother having my eldest brother
nip my nose to make me swallow
the slug.
'When we reached the conval-
escent stage Mother gave tis
something that was called chemi-
cal food -to bring back jaded ap-
petites.
It looked and tasted like a nice
red syrup and needed no persua-
sion to take it. Mother's house
remedies and good nursing must
have had good results as we sel-
dom had a doctor in the house.
And it was good training for rale,
When Partner and I were out on
the prairie, miles away from a
doctor, Daughter would some-
times wake tip with bad attack of
croup -and it was wine of ipecac
that saved her from choking.
Tonight, thinking about mother
and her remedies, I made myself
a bowl of bread and milk -and
it tasted just as good as- I remem-
ber its
I just asked Partner what Itis
mother did when they had colds.
"We didn't have colds," he an-

Through Death to Life
Mark 15`33-37; 16:1-7
Memory Selection -Lo I am with
you always -Matthew 28:20b.
Each of the Gospel records gives
a full'account of the events culmin-
ating in the death and resurrection
of Jesus Christ. 'I'Iiis is the funda-
mental thesis of the Gospel, namely
that Christ died for our sins ac-
cording to the Scriptures and rose
again the third day. This is the
basis on which salvation front sin
is preached to all men.
In last Sunday's lesson we saw
Jesus praying in agony in the gar-
den, Leaving there, He was betray-
ed by Judas to the Roman soldiers.
Peter drew his sword and cut oft
the car of the servant of the high
priest. Jesus replaced the car and
said to Peter, "Put up again thy
sword into its place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish by
the sword. 'Thinkcst thou that, I
cannot pray to my Father, and He
shall presently give me more than
twelve •legions of angels? But hdw
there shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be?" Matthew
26:52-54. It is a pity that the war
monger's of the world do not under-
stand this scripture..Iliticr and M'is-
solini understand it now. 1'slisba
found that prayer was Hutch more
effective in defense than ren army.
II Icings 6:18. Then came the stock
trial before the church leaders, fol-
lowed by the civil trial before Pi-
late and 1-Ierod. Pilate, fearing that
the people would report his pre-
vious misbehaviour (Luke 1.1:1,
John 19:12) to Caesar• uttered lite
death sentence.
Jesus was 011 the cross from nine
in the morning to three o'cloclr in
the afternoon. Front noon until
three o'clock there was a great
darkness, At the last ire cried, "My
God, my God, why has Thou for-
saken nuc?" Jesus, tllc Son of God,
bore our sins alone. On the third
day, Jesus arose from the dead.
This vcrifled His claim to Deity.
Hence .He could say before His
ascension, "Lo, I • ala with you
always."

happening to his favorite spurt the
late Iter, Nesmith, invents)) of bas-
ketball, is probably turning flip-
flops in his grave. For basketball is
taking a grand old going-over, from
all angles, and some of the well-
paid and highly publicized coaches
who, just a feiv mouths ago were
sitting on top of the sport world,
are beginning to wish—like the
character in McIntyre R Heath's
old show 'Til; 1IAM. TREE-
that they'd kept "that 1)1d job back
in the livery stable," •
1r * *
First, of course, there was the
series of smelly scandals which
proved conclusively that even if
basketball was first played in
Y.M.C,A.'s, it has managed to es-
cape from any moral and religious
influence to a very large degree.
Then there has been a steadily
growing mass of criticism about the
emphasis placed 011 size—or rather
height—in the modern game. Year
by year the average player has
stretched nearer and nearer to the
ceiling, until any intending baskct-
cer who didn't stand at least six
feet wasn't even given a second.

of COLLIER'S went down the line
along this angle in a bitter attack,
saying that most of today's basket-
ball stars aren't athletes at all, but
rattier a bunch of overgrown freaks
who belong in a circus side-show
tent, along with the fat lady,..the
pin -headed boy and the two -headed
calf.

than either crookedness or freakish-
ness, They're playing safety -first
basketball—slowing the game clown
to a standstill. And if basketball
ever had any real appeal, it lay in
the fact that it offered the custom=
ers plenty of action, even if a lot
of that action seemed fairly mean-
ingless to anyone not a fanatic.

Most hockey followers realize, of
course, that there are two distinct
brands of that sport — ntid-season
hockey, and playoff hockey. In the
first, the lads are playing for the
spectators and el en—ill some cases
--for the fun of it, 1n the second,
they're playing ;or the dough. The
spectators are already there. 'I'Iheir

"Control basketball" is what they
call this safety -first style of play.
In the past few years most teams
have played the "stalling" game,
hut only in the last few Minutes
lvhen they happened to be in front.
Ilut this year—as one well-known
sports writer puts it—the pendulum
has swung far in the other direction,
'J'hey play the stalling game from
start to finish, if it suits their book,
and as for the spectators,—to heck
with therm.
Minneapolis is one of the real
basketball hotbeds. Folks out that
way got their first look at control
ball on a big scale just before
Christmas—and they didn't like it
one little bit, In ";i somewhat ridic-
ulous game" the Fort Wayne pro-
fessionals stalled most of the way,
but beat the Minneapolis Lakers
by a single point. The final score
was 19-18, which trust have been
pretty tame to fans used to seeing
just one player score 25 points or
more,
k * i
At One point in a Big Ten gauge
between Minnesota and Indiana,
Sant Miranda of the latter team held
the ball for Six minutes and thirty-
five seconds, The report says that
the fans joined in singing the "In-
diana fight song" during the lull—
something akin to the rhythmic
hand -clapping or feet-stanlpng
which baseball and hockey mag-
nates hate so much to hear, Six
minutes and thirty-five seconds is

The two instances just noted tvere
by no means the worst. In a recent
game between Hemline and St,

tip-off and went in for a basket.
After that St. John's held the ball
for sixteen and a half minutes with-

Apologists for "control ball" say
that it has been evolved as a sort
of offensive -defensive manoeuvcr to
offset the terrific height advantage
enjoyed by teams that have coralled
a lot of the giraffe -type player, But,
because of lack of action in what
is normally a high-speed game, the
fans aren't too happy about the

Joc Jackson was probably the
greatest natural ball -player who
ever lived. '1'y Cobb—who should
know tvhat he was talking about—
said he was the finest natural hit-
ter vvho ever swung a bat. Babe
Ruth, who knew a thing or two
about hitting, p'tiicrned his own
batting style on Jackson's.
The first full season Jackson play -
e(1 in the majors was 1911, with
Cleveland. All he dict was hit for
a mere .408. Jt would have got hint
far iuore publicity than it did if
it hadn't been for just one thing.
Ty Cobb, who always performed
best when. the pressure was on,
finished up with a ,420, to shade
Shoeless Joc for the batting title.

,Created and signed by The I-Iouse Of Seagram, this advertisement, with
appropriate copy for foreign lands, is appearing in magazines and news-
papers printed in various languages and circulated throtighout the world.
sellgyllm TELLS THE WORLD ABOUT C�U�CI�
Tints advertisement was designed by
The I-Iouse of Seagram to tell the people
of other lands about Canada and things
exclusively Canadian.
Many people in Latin America, Asia,
Europeand other parts of the world are
not fully aware of the richness of Canada's
natural resources, wild life, scenic beauty
and cultural traditions. The more the
the lj4ouse o
peoples of other lands know about our
country, the greater will be their interest
in Canada and Canadian products.
77re house of Seagram feels that the
horizon of indusliy does not terminate at
the boundafy of its plants; it has a broader
horizon, a farther view—a view dedicated to
the development of Canada's stature in every
larul of the globe.

instruction will be held in the Agricul-
Ilural Board Room in ClPnton on March

"Daring the past year the Federa-

Tracing the Cause
Of Stuttering
Bernard Lee, assistant chief of
the Signal Corps Engineering La-
boratories Photographic Branch at
Fort \tonntouth, N.I., inadvertently
plugged a telephone headset into a
playback jack while working with
a magnetic tape recorder. A fraction
of a second later his voice began
to he red back at hint, and he found
it hard to talk. Since then he has
tested. the reactions of more than
100 people to delayed, fed -back
speech.
Sonic of these 100 subjects de-
veloped a quavering slow speech,
others halted, repeated syllables,
raised their voices in pitch or vol-
ume and revealed tension by red-
dening of the face. Some challenged
the disturbance but none defeated
it. lore than two minutes of the
ordeal is physically tiring, Lee
reaches the conclusion that speech
depends on hearing. The "artificial
stuttering" produced by the de-
layed speech feed -back technique
may aid specialists to Lind the
causes of stuttering, said to affect
about I per cent of the world's
population — some 2.21/2. million
people.
Lee's work combines for the first
time neural and electronic networks,
so that it is possible to investigate
the production of speech itself. 13y
controlling or altering the electronic
network, in this case the magnetic
tape recorder, Lee points out, psy-
chologists, may be able to learn
more about the nervous system.
Why is the Signal Corps inter-
ested in such studies Because de-
layed speech feed -back problems,
such as a powerful echo returning
to a speaker's lecture platform,
cannot be ignored in public address .
systems used by the Army. Un-
wanted echoes also sometimes creep
into long-distance telephone cir-
cuits.
This Pretty Girl
Had Four Wives
---
With screeching brakes, a car
ran down a middle-aged man.
"Poor fellow, he's done fort" said
the doctors. '1'o their astonishment,
a few minutes later they found their
"man" was a woman.
Papers in her pocket, and subse-
quently her fingerprints, established
the identity of Eugene .ralleni, a
male impersonatorwho hoodwinked
all Australia.
Death trapped her in the disguise
she loved. All her life she swag-
gered in masculine attire, first run-
ning to sea as a cabin -boy, then
posing under the name of Harry
• Leon Crawford—a devil with the
women—in New South Wales.
Eugene was given a job as a
chauffeur to a Sydney doctor. Noth-
ing could have seemed more natural
than that the chauffeur should flirt
• with the housemaid. They married;
and when Eugene deserted her and
contracted a "bigamous marriage"
with another woman, tVife No, 1

manly. Astonishing hut true, Eu-
gene actually "married" several

Her third "bride" was the widow-
ed Mrs, Annie Birkett. The two
lived together for over four years
and appeared outwardly to he the
happiest of married couples. Then
one day, in 1917, the supposed
Mr, and Mrs. Crawford disappeared,
A charred body was discovered,

ford's set of teeth and a metal hair

of murder, and for the first time in
her life her womanhood proved use-
ful.
It enabled her to be reprieved
and the death sentence was com-
muted to life imprisonment. In 1929
she was released and resumed her
ovu name o! Eugene Falfeni,
But she still pretended to be a
man and she soon dropped into ob-
security ... until, a few months -
ago, her death disclosed a new chap-

twenty years paid maintenance to

Fancy Dresses for Spring Fancies
BY EDNA MILES
IN spring a young woman's fancy also turns to thoughts
of that age-old problem of what to wear.
Two answers to grace 1951's spring fashion scene are
shown at left and at riglil L both specifically created for
the junior chamfer.
The cotton at right features enormous papier pockets,
frosted with eyelet embroidery. The bodice of the Florida -
fashioned dress buttons from waist to demure, round
collar.
Tiny puffed sleeves anti a full skirt complete the dress
which is the sort of gayer than springtime creation for
resort wear and other special dress -up occasions.
Dressier still is the glamorous party dress at left, fash-
ioned from speckled, silky taffeta.
A coat -type dress, its flattering ruing collar and velvet
buttons produce a double-breasted eifect. The hipline is
full and gathered, broken by a wide self belt.
Either dress should make the junior miss a sure hit
with the opposite sex as well as the envy of fellow fashion

TABLE TALItSMda.
What are known as "one -dish"
meals don't necessarily have to
include meat; and here is a time -
proven recipe that introduces the
protein in the form of eggs and
cheese. You may use carrots, aspar-
agus, corn, egg -plant, celery or
peas—or a mixture of any of them.
*
VEGETABLE SCALLOP
3 cups cooked vegetables
3/4 cup cracker or dry bread
crumbs (buttered)
3 or 4 hard -cooked eggs,
sliced
3 cup grated Canadian
cheese
3 cups milk
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3/ teaspoon salt
Method: 1?lace vegetables, eggs
and half -cup of grated cheese in
layers in a buttered baking dish.
Make medium white sauce of milk,
butter, flour and salt. Pour over
vegetable mixture, Add crumbs and
remaining cheese. Brown in a 350 -
degree oven for 20 minutes.
Gelatine salads are always popu•
lar in the majority of homes, They
arc well adapted to the materials
available in cold weather, and busy
• homemakers like then) because they
can be prepared well in advance.
The secret of their staying fresh
is that the gelatine seals the air
away from the fruit and vegetables
put in it, so that they don't wilt
or discolour. Almost any fruits
or vegetables may be used, so long
as the flavours go together.
GOLDEN GLOW SALAD
1 package lepton -flavoured

1 cup raw carrots (grated)
Method: Dissolve gelatine in the
boiling water. Add pineapple juice,
vinegar and salt. Chill, When slightly
thickened, add pineapple and car-
rots, Chill until firm.

Other Salad Suggestions
With most homemakers, apples
are a standby for ' that winter
salad. Apple salad needn't become
tiresome --there are so many vari-
ations, 1-lere's one:
Cut up unpared red app.es, add
chopped celery and nutmeats (black
walnuts preferred), '1'o the salad
dressing you use, add an equal
amount of whipped cream., and unix
all together.
Other ingredients to go with
apples for that salad may be
grapes, raisins, dates,,oranges, car-
rots or •pineapple.

Ladybirds
On a mild afternoon the ladybirds
are out sunning themselves, particu-
larty on the walls or . around the
windows of a house with ivy on its
walls, Ladybirds are, of course,
those small orange betties with
black polka dots on their backs, and
they have been around all winter,
slatting in cracks, and 'coming out
even in January, to warns them-
selves from time to time. Now they
conte in increasing numbers, They
are particularly numerous .on ivied
walls because they feed on aphids,
and aphids feed on ivy, among
other things,
Ladybirds, which arc technically
Coccinellidae, have strange winter
habits. In California they migrate
to the mountaintops for the cold
season, gathering there in such vast
numbers that horticulturists some-
times gather them literally by the
ton, take them to the lowlands, keep
theta ht cold storage until the grow-
ing season, ti'ien' release them to
clean the aphids front the vegetable
crops. Brought out of cold storage,
they soon return to full life and
vigor And in a minor way they do
the sante thing stere, creeping out
of • their hiding places, warming
themselves in the sun, and starting
their spring cycle of life far earlier
than most insects,
In a way they are a sign of spring
when they become active. But not
an infallible sign, for they can, and
do, go' back to sleep when a chilly
wave comes or even when the sun
goes down on a warm day. And
they can sleep for days and even
weeks, even in Itlarch,
Ladybirds arc quite harmless to
humans and most helpful to gar-
dens. But they have cousins with .
less exemplary habits. The bean
beetles, for instance and the squash
beetles. '\they, too, hibernate. But

far enough away, as any gardener

\\'rr1 /l�'
Says Chewing -gum
Best Mouse Bait
The best bait you can use for a
tllonse-trap is chewing -gum, '.'Itis
is the conclusion reached by learned
Professor John Wilmot, of I3urling-
ton University, Vermont, U.S.A.,
after experimenting with over one
thousand different foodstuffs for
bait.
Ile found that the most popular
bait, cheese, undoubtedly attracts
the mice to the trap, but a mouse is
so gentle that he can often remove
the cheese or nibble it without set-
ting off the trap.
But offer him i,ehetring-gain and
what happens? With his first nibble
the gun) sticks to his teeth,
"Mush I"
Ile shakes his head to get rid of
it, disturbs the trap and departs to
a mousy paradise.
The professor ntaim:tins that
cheese -flavoured gum is best, but
ordinary peppermint gust also
works well.
Contrary to popular belief, the
mouse breeds faster than even the
gninca-pig, -
Under ideal conditions one pair of
mice can multiply to a total of
55,000 in one year.
Mice have an ancient history.
Their name conies from the Sans-
krit word "mush," meaning to steal,
Today they are taking over the
canary's job of testing twines for
safety.
That is because they are even
more sensitive than birds to the
deadly gas, carbon monoxide.
Watermarks In Paper
A. minor mystery which puzzles
many people is how the watermark
gets into paper, The answer is
simple. It is pressed in. When
newly made and still damp, the
paper passes under what is known
as the "dandy" roll of the paper-
making machine,
The watermark device is either
made up of wire woven into the sur-
face of the roll, or a metal stencil
which is soldered on.
The fibres, which form the beads
of paper, are bruised where the de-
vice presses into than and so the
paper is made thinner in those parts.
This explains the translucent effect
when watermarked paper .s held up
to the light.
'Sometimes the only watermark
required is produced by the "dandy"
roll itself, as in the case of the
parallel lines on some cigarette
papers. Specially designed rolls are -
built up entirely of different gauges
of wire threaded through a number
of circles of foetal.
The piercing of the circles to take
the wires which impress the water-
mark is a formidable task. In one
roll, for instance, 8 ft. 3 in. long atttl
20 in. in diameter, as many as 160,-
000 small holes had to be punched
with a hand tool,

Some people prefer to make a

In laying out a garden, the flow-
ers and shrubbery are usually
grouped about the lawn• and ar-
ranged informally, The vegetable
garden, of course, for reasons of
convenience is usually laid out in
straight lines, In this planning a
good Canadian seed catalogue and
possibly a special government bul-
letin or two, which the authorities
are usually tvilling and glad to pro-
vide free, will prove helpful,
The main purpose of planning in
flowers and shrubbery is to keep
the big things at the back and the
little things in front, so that noth-
ing will be hidden, As for spacing
it is a good•general rule to allow
half as much room between plants
as these will be at maturity. That
means a few inches for little things
like alyssum, dwarf marigolds and
such, and •up to. two or three feet
for small shrubs and much more for
the larger things and trees, Itt

from one foot to three between the

Pavement Artist
Leaves Fortune

local council to evict hint front•his

on it, has revealed that his busi
ness is worth £9 a week in sum-
mer and .27 10s, a week in winter,
Another, summoned for speeding
(lie owned a car) was asked by the
magistrates how he came 10 be a
pavement -artist.
Ile replied that it was the only
job he knew that provided an aver-
age income of tett pounds a week,
'with no appearancesto maintain,
and in which he could have a day
off whenever he wished,
I-Iis only cegrct about Itis pro-
fession was when some elderly
passerby, looking rather poverty-
stricken, threw a copper into his

The true pavement -artist is
known as a "scrccve'" because he
"screeves" his drawings on the
actual pavement and can be watch-
ed doing it.
Many pavement -artists prefer to
do their work on canvas and arc
always ready to prove their ability
by drawing lightning sketches of
"customers."
A. really good pitch is worth a
fortune to a pavement artist. Onc

the offerings thrown into the artist's
cap to get sonic idea of how rich

A .Parisian pavement-ar11st named
Eduard Lee died recently and
left an estate valued at :845,000.
One artist usually works three
to five pitches in turn during the
week, for if he stays on the sante
pitch all the time people cease to
take any no;ic4 of him,

an artist who fails to "move on" at
fairly frequent intervals.
That money • hctels money is a
fact swell Intowu iu this profession.
A cap or a circle of chalk with a
coin or two in it are likely to at-
tract more coins.
So the forst contribution often
collies from the pocket of tlte'artist
himself.

a,ut„ when the actual screening
begins tvith crayon or chalk, It
takes five to fifteen minutes td
draw a complete picture.
Wet weather is the pavement -
artist's bugbear, for it sadly re-
duces the public's artistic apprc-
cintion and with it the artist's bank

Really Suffered
For Beauty's Sake
The feminine. cult of beauty has
been sci intensified since the war
that today almost incredible
amounts of money are spent on
beauty preparations,
But even though they undergo a
certain amount of discomfort when
applying a face pack or undertaking
a slimming diet ,it is nothing to the
torture LVOI1ICII in the past were
prepared to bear in order to attain
the standard of beauty. fashionable
in their particular age,
Museums and art galleries (lis-
play pictures of Italian ladies with
smooth high foreheads. These
beauties were not born looking in-
tellectual; in order to make the
hair -line recede, they applied quick-
lime.
An equally painful treatment for
the complexion was common in
England in the eighteenth century,
when women peeled off the outer
layer of skin with carbolic oint-
ment,
Sometimes the result was not
exactly what they hoped for, and
they had to spend a week or so in
seclusion while the raw surface
healed.
Often the most unpleasant ingre-
dients were used for the sake of
beauty.
Take the hair dye used by the
ancient Romans, For sixty days
leeches wcrc left to decompose in
an earthen vessel filled with oil
and vinegar, The result was guar-
anteed to make the tresseS jet

During the Romantic Movement
in the itiucteciit century, the fash-
ionable pose was one of languor.

Byron wrote to lady Melbourne,
"A woman should never be seen
eating or drinking, unless it be lob-
ster salad and champagne, the only
truly feminine viands,"
Hygiene Came Second
Instead of eating roast beef, they
swallowed gravel, coal dust and
candle wax, and as a result lost
digestion, appetite ,and rosy colour-
ing, Pallid sallowness was the ad-
mired complexion,

the saute time, the most fashionable
model of corset was a hard and
solid mould into which the wearer
had to be compressed.
A Parisian, writing of those days,
says that splinters of wood "pene-
trated the flesh, took the skin off
the waist, and made the ribs ride
up one over the other."
In latest years, in this country,
girls in their early teens were plac-
ed in iron corsets, so that by the
time they had reached the age of
twenty, a twenty-three inch waist
would have been reduced to thir-
teen.
Cleanliness, of course, was a se-
condary matte,'. In 1866, a girl
wrote home from boarding -school
to say that her stays were sealed
up by a mistress at the beginning
of the week and remained on her
body until Saturday, when they
wcrc removed for one hour only,
so that site could wash.
One African tribe adds a ring a
year to a Woman's neck until it is
elongated lila a giraffe's. Another
tribe binds the head of every girl

imitation of a Rugby ball.
Why, oh Why?
Ideas of beauty wary according to
time and place. Tartar women used
to part away their noses between
the eyes; Virginian women in 1650
used an iron stamp on their faces
which left the mpression of a bird
or fish,
Why do %vomcu go to all this
trouble when !nen throughout the
ages have complained that they like
their wives to look natural?
As far back as the reign of Queen
Anne'they were complaining about
it. One •husband, after describing
how he had found out that his
wife's jet hair and beautiful face
were all the result of art, said: "I
shall take the liberty of parting
from her immediately, unless her
father will make her portion suit-
able to her real ,not assumed,

If your interested in increasing
you're yield of oats—raising more
bushels on fewer acres—the fol-
lowing will be, I hope, of inter-
est and value to you. Out in a
mid -west state a group of promin-
ent farmers were asked for their
suggestions long this line, and
here is what they had to say.
• « 4
The questioners assumed that
most of the farmers would sow
the newer high -yielding varieties
of oats; also that they would
clean and treat such seed before
sowing. So the questions concern-
ed the use of fertilizer; when to
sow; ,whether to drill or broad-
cast; whether to plow the ground
or to disk it. The farmers were
asked to list their yield -increasing
practices in order of their impor-
tance,
• * *
APPLYING NITROGEN; Over
one-third of the farmers nut nitro-
gen application in the top spot.
Almost another third placed nitro-
gen in second place. And fourteen
per cent put nitrogen application
in third place,
'1' 4 4
This shows conclusively that
these successful farmers are really
sold on nitrogen for oats. Prob-
ably a lot more farmers would ad-
vise the use of nitrogen except
for two things, First, nitrogen is
sometimes hard to get and. Sec-
ond, oats 19 often used as a nurse
crop.
Grass and legume seeds cost
considerable, one farmer pointed
out. So, naturally, you don't want
to use enough fertilizer to make
the oats smother those seediugs„
To this objection, Edward Entz—
onc of the "gttestionees"—answer-
ed, "Apply your fertilizer accord-
ing to the test of your soil."
4. 4, *
The soil test and Agriculture
Department recommendations will
tell you ,whether phosphate or
potash is needed. But for nitro-
gen requirements you should con-
sider the past use of land in ques-
tion,
4, 4' *
,If your oats land has had, say,
only one crop of corn since it was
in sod, you can afford to go light
on the nitrogen, You can also
leave nitrogen out on spots that
have been heavily matured, or on
low wash -over ground,
• * 4
• But you should put nitrogen—
in recommended amounts, o f
course on thin fields or titin
parts of fields. The amount usu-
ally recommended is from 15 to
20 pounds an acre on fields that
are thin or have had more than
one crop of corn.
* *
EARLY PLANTING: Almost
one-third of the farmers put early
seeding in first j)lacc; one-fourth
in second placc;'onc-fifth said third
place,
+: * «
'There are really only three good
days to sow oats," said Oscar W.
Johnson, "and the last two of
thea) are one 'and two days too
late,"
That ,night be a slight exaggera-
tion; but tests at experimental sta-
tions fully back up the farmers'
early -sowing beliefs, A four-year
test at one such station showed that
each day's delay in seeding cost
about one bushel per acre in yield.
That, Illy friends, could represent
a whole lot of oatsl
* 4*
DRILL INSTEAD OF
BROADCAST: Onc-sixth of the
farmers questioned put this prac-
tice first in importance. Over half
of them put drilling in either first,
'second or third place,
« * *
"Drilling is seed economy," said
Harry J. Bods, But "not much dif-
ference in yield" was the comment
of George Lefler. And several of
the farmers pointed out that, if
you drill, you are often forced to
delay seeding, That is to say, you
may have to make the choice be-
tween broadcasting early or drill-
ing late.
So in deciding whether to broad-
cast or drill, soil conditions and the
kind of spring weather arc impor-
tant. But if you have the machine
and can avoid delay, by all means
drill,
4 * *
PLOW INSTEAD OF DISK?
On the whole, No. The favourable
vote for ,plowing was very light.
Only around eighteen per cent of
the fanners put it in first, second
or third place. Still, there are some
who believe in it.

For exatnple, on the Elmer Bass
farm oats land was fall plowed or
disk tilled after cora picking time in
1949. Yields were 70 bushels per
acre front three varieties. "It was
very beneficial in 1950" says Bass.
* i *
But what worked well in one sec-
tion may not be as good in an-
other. "Last Spring I used six acres
o fall -plowed land for oats," said
Lloyd Albers. "'1'hc yield was very
much less and the stand of clover
was poor." So possibly it night
pay to plow for oats in certain
areas; but not if the oats seeding
is delayed thereby.
4 d 4
OTHER PRACTICES. A warn-
ing that came from several farmers
was—don't disk the land when it is
too wet. You can't cultivate oats
and break up the baked soil. But
"be sure the disk is sharp and gets
into the ground deeply," advised
Fred Ludwig. Others added that
the land should be harrowed down
smooth.
* *
"Use a roller to firm the seed-
bed," advises Martin Ritgoen, Clar-
ence Decatur advocates "rolling
and better seedbeds," Fred Bruene
says that weed control is highly
important, adding that "probably
a combination of all these practices
would be the best policy—leaving
as little as possible to chance."
* * *
Now, in conclusion, I'd like to
repeat that this survey was made
in a mid-\Vestern State. Very likely
some of the recommendations made
wouldn't apply equally here in
Ontario. Still, they'll all bear
thinking about.
