This year is the centenary of
death of Nicklo Paganini, the greet
violinist. Paganini was. one of the
most fantastic and extraordinary
figures, not only he the annals of
music, but also in the entire history
of the human race. Ile revolutionized
violin playing. With his magic fiddle
he roasted over. Europe, Many who
heard him really believed thathe
was in league with the devil. One
teller of tales about him said:
"When Paganini.was playing his
Witches' Dance last night, I dis-
tinctly saw Satan himself standing
behind him guiding his left hand
and his right arm. His Satanic
Majesty was clothed in red; he had
horns upon his head, and a long
hairy tail between his legs". This
story caused uncounted thousands
to go to Ms concerts. Another
legend was that his dying mother
had with her ldst breath breathed
her soul into his violin and that
this enabled him to play with
heartrending pathos,"
Henri Ernest, the great Austrian
violinst, in his youth followed Pag-
anini around on his tours. He made
it his practice to engage a room in
the hotel next to Paganini's and he
bored holes through the doors in
order to watch the great virtuoso
practising.

About. that big snow cruiser which
Admiral Byrd took with him last
year or was it this year- - to the
Antarctic, to enable him to traverse
the snow-covered, ice -covered plains
of the South Pole region. It has so
far been a flop. It weighs '75,000
pounds, and you probably read a lot
about it and its journeying to the
ship which carried it to its destina-
tion - a very troublesome journey.. It
was designed, with implicit con-
fidence in its ability to do its intend-
ed job, by a 35 -year-old engineer,
Charles Meyer. Meyer went with his
monster baby to the Antarctic, and
so himself is able to explain the ma-
chine's failure. It lacked sufficient
power, Recurrent snowfalls put an
18 or 20 inch soft blanket over the
ice field, and this covering made it
difficult for the great cruiser to get
through and over it, But all is not
lost. If and when the plain is cov-
ered with solidly frozen snow, it is
expected that the cruiser will lune

tion as planned and hoped.
In Western Pennsylvania and in
Philadelphia something is being done
to teach young people how to operate
a business. In these areas are 22
companies, representing 250 youths
of both sexes, ages front 16 to 24. A
group of these young people decide
to forst a company to make some-
thing — say a 25 -cent clothes line

is kept of ananufacturing costs and

What becomes of he "cut" films
as made by Hollywood studios? Are
the cut-out portions sheer waste?
The answer is no. Even though the
cue portions may never be used, they
may be washed of their emulsion for
the reclamation of their silver nit-
rate. But it is common practice' to
file the cut-out portions for their
possible usefulness in the staking
of new fihns. Thus, by way of ex-
ample when about 10 years ago the
film "The King of Jazz' was made,
one member of the trio that sang
with Paul Whitman's band was Bing
Crosby. fears later, when Crosby be-
came important, a re-edited "King of
Jazz" film was made, and portions
of the rejected or cut-out parts of
the original version were used in the
new version.
The cuttage in some films is en-
ormous, Thus, in the ease of "Gone
With The Wind", the original "take
was 475,000 feet. This was cut down
to 20,500 feet for exhibition purposes

seen by us, "All This and I•Ieaven

made was used.

THE WEED OF THE
WEEK
HAWKWEEDS
King Devil and Orange Hawkweed,
two closely related wends are spread-
ing rapidly on roadsides, old mead-
ows and especially rough permanent
pastures throughout the province,
says John D. MacLeod, Craps, Seeds
and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Toronto.
Both are vigorous growing peren-
nials with trailing branches or stems
close to the surface of the soil. These
take roots every few inches and ,one
neglected plant may increase to a
large patch in a very short time.
The leaves of both plants are, for
the most part, attached to the crown
and not to the stems. Leaves and
stems are extremely hairy and filled
with a bitter milky juice. Due to the
pungent flavour and hairy nature the
"Hawkweeds" are not relished by
Iivestock although they will eat
them when pasture becomes Short.
"Orange Hawkweed' or "Devil's
Paint Brush" as it is sometimes call-
ed, grows from one to two, feet in
height with orange red blossoms
grouped in clusters.
"King Devil" will grow three feet
or more in length and has a yellow
blossom similar to, but less than half
the size of "Sow Thistle."
The roots of both plants are near
the surface and are therefore easily
killed by cultivation. Individual
plants should be spudded out and
great care should be taken to com-
pletely eradicate small patches be-
fore they become firmly established
in areas which are not being cultivat-
ed. This can be accomplished by the
use of chemical weed killers and at
a very small cost. Salt and waste
oil have also been used to eradicate
small patches, and tar paper, manure
and straw have been used to smother
out patches.
Gene. farmer reports that he has
been able to control Hawkweeds on
rough pasture by tearing up the
ground early in the spring with an
old harrow. (A. disc harrow has also
proven effective.) Owing to shallow
roots, both Hawkweeds may be eas-
ily pulled out when the ground is
wet. The area can then be given a
little covering of manure' and seeded
with vigorous grasses. This method
stimulates the growth of grass and
helps choke out the Hawkweeds..
Both these weeds are easily erad-
icated by cultivation. However, in
any rough permanent pastures they
spread easily by means of blowing
scads and trailing stems and are
rapidly ruining thousand's of acres.
CAN SOW BUCKWHEAT
UP TILL JULY 15th
Good Replacement for Crops Drown-
ed out by Recent Rains, says John
D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and
Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of
Agriculture, Toronto.
Any farmer who has been unable
to sow low lying areas or who, has
had crops drowned out as a result
of recent heavy rains would be well
advised to consider sowing buck-
wheat at this time, says John D.
MacLeod, Crops, Seeds and Weeds
Branch, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture,
Toronto.
This crop, which may be sown as
late as July 15th in many sections of
Ontario, is adaptable to a wide var-
iety of soils and will yield fair re-
turns on soils which lack in fertility.1+'
The usual rate of seeding is from
to 1% bushels per acre.
As a farm crop, Buckwheat is ens.
titled to a place of considerable im-
portance -among coarse grains; as
food for live stock, it is regarded
as almost interchangeable with bar-
ley and may be included in the ea -
Hone for feeding all classes of live-
stock; it is extremely resistant to
the attacks of soil insects; it makes
an excellent green manure erop;'when
ploughed down; 0 improves the
physical condition of the soil and
cannot be beaten as a smother crop

Turkestan Alfalfa and Weed
Introduction
(Science Service News)
Some forty years ago the first seed
of alfalfa from Turkestan was
brought to the United States and
distributed for test to practically
every State and Territory in the
Union, states Herbert Groh, Division
of Botany and Plant Pathology,
Science Service, Dominion Depart -1
ment of Agriculture. It was almost
as early under test in at least one
place in Canada, as appears from a
report of the Superintendent of the'
Experimental Farm at Indian Head,
Sask., for 1900. In a very few years
it was evident that there was nal
place far his new introduction in the
more humid eastern climate, but it r
has taken longer to demonstrate that
western conditions, to some of which
it was well suited, could be as well'
or better supplied by strains develop-
ed within the country.
For a number of ears the com-
mercial importation of Turkestan
alfalfa seed to N. America amounted
to millions of pounds annually. It
has been estimated that at one time
a tenth of the 5,000,000 or more acres
of alfalfa growing in the United
States was planted with commercial
Turkestan seed, and that over 95 per
cent of all alfalfa seed coming into
the country was from that source.
The outbreak of war in 1914 was the i
first serious check to this flow of
seed, which, owing to a wide margin:
between cost and selling price, had
been lucrative business to the trade.
There has been further importation'
since the war to some parts of Am-
erica, but evidently with a lessened
general demand. As far as Canada
is concerned there has been little, if
any, receipt of Turkestan aifalfa seed
since about 1922. There is little oc-
casion now, if there was ever legiti-
mate occasion for such a great in-
flux of this seed, but there is anoth-
er angle altogether to the question,
which has never received sufficient
attention.
From the beginning it has been
known that Turkestan alfalfa was a
carrier of weed seeds, and one weed,
Russian knapweed, received a good
deal of publicity from the fact that
it was a constant and sufficiently
charcteristic impurity to serve as a
reliable indicator to the Turkestan
origin of the seed. Other weed seeds
were noted in the analyses of Seed
Laboratories, and are on record to
the number of several dozen sPecies.1
Some of these, ill adapted to our •
conditions, have never to our know -1
ledge gained a foothold here; others!
are weeds whichalready over -ran the
country; and still others, like Rus-'
sign knapweed, were new pests which
we are scarcely yet fully aware of.
In the course of investigations in
progress for some months past in
the Division of Botany, some start-
ling facts have been brought to light
which should impress on all concern-
ed the need for close vigilance to
forestall further invasions of the
same sort.
Of the impurities recorded as oc-
curring Turkestan alfalfa seed a
number were found to be of immed-
iate new concern to Canadians. Two
of these were not previously known
to occur in Canada, others have been
detected in only one or a few places,
and the others to be discussed were,
with one exception, unknown here
until after the advent of Turkestan
seed.
Russian knapweed seed was first
detected in samples sent to the Divis-
ion of Botany, Ottawa, in 1910, and
was found again in 1914, and at Win-
nipeg Seed Laboratory about 1920,
and probably in many other instances
not brought to notice. Not until 1928
was any infestation from such seed
reported, but from that time on re-
ports were rather frequent, and
mostly, like the first, from. western
Canada. These include three or four
distinct regions in British Columbia,
five or six in Alberta, seven in Sask-
atchewan, one in Manitoba and one
in Ontario.
In 1907 garden rocket made a sud-
den appearance in Ontario and in
Saskatch'vvan, and doubtless in other
provinces where alfalfa was being
sown, and for a few years following.
The alfalfa was understood at the
time to be of southern Russian or-
igin, but enly now is attention called
to the fact that the seed was an im-
purity recorded for Turkestan alfal-
fa. Rocket was conspicuous in new
seedings, but failed to become an
established weed.
Hoary Cress, while known in Can-
ada much earlier, was also an impur-
ity in Turkestan seed, as established
by the records. Of interest here is
the fact that three quite distinct
hoary tresses occur, two of which
have been growing together in the
Peace River District for upwards of
ten years without having been dis-
! tinguished previously from the third,
which is the, one longer known: in
Canada. This discovery of two new
weeds led to a re-examination of
considerable herbarium material, with
the result that each of the three is
found well represented in the furth-
er West, but only the older, which
may be distinguished as heart -pod-
ded cress, east of Sasektchewan. Of
the latter specimens were seen from
four British Columbia localities, one
Saskatchewan, one Manitoba, eight
Ontario, one Quebec and one in Nova
Scotia, Of a second, which may be
known as lens -popped hoary cress,
specimens were seen from three lo-
calities in each of the provinces as
globe -podded hoary cress, was rep-
resented in four localities in British
Columbia, and the same in Alberta,
and also in Saskatchewan,
A striking disclosure of the study
was the frequency of association in
a locality, and even in a field, of two
or more of the foregoing weeds, as
in the Peace River instance already
alluded to. In eight or nine such cases
Russian knapweed was one of the
associated weeds, and an excellent
clue to the Turkestan alfalfa source
of the infestations,
Red orache is a little known intro-
duction to British Coltmnbia seen
Tram four stations, which were in
some cases stations for other of these
weeds. Its seed is also recorded in
Turkestan alfalfa samples, Thorn
orachc is another seen from a couple
of the above stations, and nowhere
else in Canada, but its seed is not
known to have appeared hi these al-
falfa samples. One other weed, per-
ennial rape is known from a Saskat-
chewan station for rocket, and from
nowhere else in North America.. All
the weeds discussed have a Turk-
estan or neighbouring South Russian
distribution. It is probable that the
list of weedy introductions to Can-
ada froinn thatregion, traceable to
Turkestan alfalfa, could be readily
extended. At least five of the eight
named are definitely noxious, having
most persistent perennial root sys-
tems. The oraches while annual, and
mostly wayside weeds, are capable of
dense spread.
1 In view of earlier discontinuance of
Turkestan alfalfa importation, one of
the most obvious treasures against
such a carrier of infestation no long-
er requires to be applied. Secondary
spreadVof these weeds has not been
shown as yet to be extensive. Little,
if any, seed of these weeds is found
in commercial seeds moving within
the country. Infestations gradually
fields may be broken early in July,
worked thoroughly and sown to buck-
wheat. If soil and moisture conditions
are favorable the a•op will be up in
4 days and the ground well covered
with a luxuriant growth of leaves in
a 'short time which will assist greatly'
in smothering weeds.
Clean, well -graded, healthy seed
and a well prepared seed bed are
essential in order to obtain maximum
yields. Mouldy buckwheat seed as a
result of harvesting and threshing
under unfavorable weather conditions
is not uncommon and should be
avoided.
The consideration of Buckwheat
as a "last resort crop" should be
discouraged. It has a place among
Ont, grain crops, particularly this
year, when maximum crops of home
grown grains are essential. Moisture
conditions at the present timeare
favorable for rapidgrowth. and the
ossibility of harvesting a grain crop
W. C. T. U. CONVENTION
AT HENSALL
The 43rd annual convention of
Huron County W.C.T.U. was held in
the United Church, Hensall on June
28th, 1940. The president, Mrs. Gee.
Johnston occupying the chair. The
meeting was a very enthusiastic one,
The devotional exercises were con-
ducted by Mrs. Philips assisted. by
Capt. Farmer. The roll can of of-
ficers followed, 9 were present, 2
absent. Superintendents of Dept. 10
present, 3 absent. The evangelistic
and Christian Stewardship supt., Mrs.
Johns was absent but sent a full
report of her work, which was read
by Miss Murray. Anti-Narcotie and
Medical Temperance was taken by
Mrs. Pearce. Miss Lewis the little
white ribboner Supt. desired reports
from the local unions. Medal contest
supt., Miss Murray, regretted that
she was not able to get together
pupils for a medal contest, but stres-
sed the value of the work. Moral
!education and Mothers meetings was
fully .reported by the supt, Mrs
Beavers. Publicity and social meet-
ings were discussed and reported by
the supt., Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Cook,
press supt., presented a short report
as the local unions had forgotten to
submit their reports. Temperance in
Sunday School was fully given by
Miss Murray. In the county 74 pupils
wrote the temperance exams, these
papers were examined by Miss Mur-
ray, there were foto classes, Seniors,
Intermediates, Juniors, and little jun-
iors, four of the best in eaoh class
were forwarded to the provincial
temperance secretary. 16 prizes woe:
given for the best essays. Mrs. Craw
tine Supt., reported she had written
to all the principals of the public
and high schools in the county and
had received only 1 reply, but a very
gratifying reply. Mrs. Howell, supt.
for the Travellers Aid had little to
report except the cards were framed
and hung in the stations and that lit-
etature was always present. Dept,
of Prisons and jail Supt., Mrs. Walt-
ers reported 8 Bibles had been dis-
tributed to the prisoners and 25
pieces of literature had been distrib-
uted also, Capt. Farmer of the Sal-
vatioti Army visited the jail monthly.
The corresponding secretary, Miss
Murray gave a fall report, there are
3 live unions, Winghans, Goderich,
Exeter-Hensall. There are 89 mem-
bers, and there have been 28 meet-
ings held: The treasurer, Mrs. Walt-
ers, $149.91 had been raised, $123.07
forwarded, $18.48 balance.
Miss Penrose, L.T.L. sec., gave a
splendid report of the work that has
been done, said that the prospects for
better work in the future looked
brighter. The guest speaker, Mrs.
Ethel Craw, of Seaforth, editor of
the White Ribbon Tidings in a very
earnest and capable manner showed
introduction, until they cover fields
and farms, or as in one ease of hoary
cress, become scattered over many
sections, and in the case of perennial
rape, over township. after township.
One instance of secondary spread of
globe hoary cress, not by seed but
evidently by inclusion of rootstocks
in soil samples sent across a province
seems well authenticated.
Probably no one of the weeds un-
der discussion has yet spread beyond
overtaking by a well organized cam-
paign of eradication. A few score
municipalities have been shown to be
concerned and many more will be
located in the course of surveys, bat
these are trifling in number as con ,
paced with those exposed to danger
as long as these remain as plague
spots. This is not the place to out-
line details of procedure against
these weeds. Both cultural and
chemical means may be employed as
deemed wise by those supervising.
The initial stop in most cases is to
secure competent and earnest direc-
tion of effort following or improving
upon the best experimental advice
available. Sporadic action by an in-
dividual farmer seldom covers the
situation, and lacks the psychology
behind concerted group action in a
common cause. Far too few examples
of such .cooperation are before us
for inspiration, but they do exist and
testify to the soundness of the pain -

the waste of food stuffs and manhood
caused by the war, opportunity and
necessity of Temperanee forces to de

Church, Exeter, he chose far hie
theme, "Temperance" delivering a
splendid and profitable discourse,
dealing with all the phrases of the
liquor traffic, its evils, and degrada-
tions, his address was well received.
The following resolution .was passed
by Mrs. Beavers of Exeter: "Ws. the
Huron County Women's Tempranee
Union having stet in Hensall Fiiiay,,
June 28th, 1940, unanimously reeve
that: Whereas our Empire is now
facing the greatest crisis in its his-
tory, and the fate of our civilization
is dependent upon the oute e e ,1
the struggle acid that the utnu: ef-
ficiency is necessary for the psie.cu-

as the use of aleohlie bereragc im-
pairs efficiency, and diverts to waste-
ful and injurious purposes foodstaffe
imperative to the sustenance of hum-
an life and lowers the moral and she

do humbly petition the government
to enact immediately total prohibition
for the duration of the war."
