It was, in a sense, a ponderous pigeon, approx- imately a swan inbulk, It had a large hooked beak: heavy, short legs; and wings too small for flight. One may see these features for oneself by ex- amining the splendid skeleton speci- men preserved in the Royal Ontario Museum, Additional facts about the Dodo are preserved by historic record, During the seventeenth century several live Dodos were brought to Europe where drawings and paintings were made of them by various artists. From these we can see that the Dodo was covered with down-like feathers, that it was curiously rounded at the stern, and that its tail was a mere tuft of feathers carried jauntily. About the middle of the seventeenth century colonizers introduced dogs and swine to the island of Mauritius and by 1681 the Dodo 'was no more. Its rapid extermination may not have been due so much to the ferocity of the newcomers as to the defencelessness of the bird. In addition to its inabil- ity to fight or flee, it laid its lone egg in the grass on open ground where it was easily destroyed. Bones of the Dodo were found in considerable abundance during the nineteenth century in a swamp on Mauritius. Nearly complete skeletons such as the one in the Museum, are rare.

There is perhaps no other single factor that has so greatly assisted the Canadian farmer to ac- complish such record achievements as that of modern machinery. United with the farmer, in the job of continuously improving and increasing the efficiency of his methods of production, is the Implement Engineer. Massey-Harris, always a leader in the intro- duction of time and labor saving equipment, has made another notable advance with its self- propelled combine which has revolutionized harvesting methods. The 'self-propelled principle introduced in the Massey-Harris Combine opens up a world of possibilities in the future trend of farm machines for the road ahead. ,„, 11,N A s • 111. • :1 • 1: ;2— :M \;:. ,\,\"‘ ‘‘;.:‘ „ • sNs S, " 1:o‘!:!:. 47'k s'\;1 11, .

They have extensive, mostly fibrous, roots and produce a large quantity of seeds. Usually annual weeds are scattered more less thickly among the crop plants and seldom take possession of the land. Due to the fact that they are less conspicuous than small but solid patches of peren- nial weeds, they are often regarded as less serious. They cause heavy losses and are as serious as perennials. Biennials require two seasons to complete their growth, the first season being spent in collecting and storing up b. supply of nourishment which is used in the second season in produc- ing flowers and seeds, Some true an- nals are biennial in character. They are called winter annuals and if the seed germinates in the fall, they over- winter and complete their growth in the following season. Perennial 'weeds grow for many years. As a rule they propagate from seed Band by underground organs. call- ed "rootstocks”. They have two dis- tinct modes of growth. Some of them root deeply, while others have the root system near the surface. The most troublesome are those which extend long underground stems beneath the surface of the ground, such as Canada thistle, perennial or field sow thistle, field bindweed, poverty weed, hoary cress, leafy spurge, toad flax, and bladder tampion. Shallow rooted perennials include pasture sage, yar- row, couch grass, and sweet grass Plot Uncovered Against Tttrkey Ankara, — President Ismet Inonu, addressjng a throng of 50,000 at a national youth day celebration, dedlar- ed a plot had been uncovered against the Turkish Republic and voiced the suspicion that it had been engineered by "foreigners," Peter Woos Tito London, — In 'uneasy exile from the battleground of Yugolslavia, Xing Peter, seemingly with British prompt- ing, outsed the Cabinet of Premier , BLUEVALE New Route to' China Possible Washington,—War Secretary Henry Stimson who is invariably conservative in his forecasts, said Allied successes in Southeast Asia have raised "at least the possibility" of, linking the Ledo and Burma roads to open a new Supply route to China.
