McLeod, Crops, Seeds and Branch, Ontario Department riculture, who is secretary Association, points out that eals no one particular variety can be recommended for the entire pro­ vince or even any one county. There are a number -of tests being car­ ried out in every county, and your agricultural representative will be glad to inform you just where these plots are situated and the nature of the projects. By observing varieties included in local tests, farmers will learn their suitability to their owii district; their resistance to rust, strength and length of straw, maturity and leafiness. The best local varieties are what the farmer should grow. They will mean more money for him and more food for Britain. Visit your local projects as often as possible, advises Mr. McLeod.

Summer Complaint Few people, especially children, escape an attack of summer com­ plaint during the hot weather. Summer complaint begins with. a. profuse diarrhcea very often accom­ panied by vomiting and purging. The matter excreted from the stomach, has a bilious appearance, and that from the bowels watery, whitish, ill-smelling, or even odorless. When the children show any sign, of looseness of the bowels the mother should administer a few doses of Dr. Fowler’s Extract Of Wild Straw­ berry so as to bring quick relief. This medicine has been on the market for the past 94 years. Re­ fuse substitutes. They may be dangerous. Get ‘‘Dr. Fowler’s” and feel safe. The T.

British jftA.F. discovered that the Ger­ mans had established a hidden buna (synthetic rubber) factory in a forest at Huis-, north of the, Ruhr. A force of British long-range bombers was ordered to find and de­ stroy the factory. The. bombers did so—most methodically; the illustration,, drawn by an artist from official details of the raids shows how one of the British bombers, a Whitely, carried out its share of the tusk, For 90 minutes, the British machine circled the neighbourhood until the navigator was certain, that he hud found the secret of the forest. Then he dropped his bombs. The im­ portance of the target was emphasised by the terrific defense put up by German A.A. guns, searchlights and nightfighte.rs hidden in the forest. Another British bomber, a Wellington, shot down u Messerschmitt, II night fighter, and when the British turned for home, the factory, its railway sidings and workshops were damaged and large fires left burning.
