Where, the floods have not been troublesome plowing has started on a email scale, while scattered. districts report seeding operations under way. Manitoba farmers have been the first to report progress along these lines, seeding being well advanced by several farmers around Douglas and Gretna. This narks the earliest start in Man- itoba for many years. Reports from Central Saskatchewan indicate that seeding will become gen- eral within ten days. Plowing has commenced along the Goose Lake line in the Tessier and Harris districts. Favorable reports come from Al- berta, the land being reported in ex- cellent shape for early cultivation. Provided present weather conditions continue, operations will be fairly general next week. Throughout the three provinces the winter's precipitation was well up to the average, and good moisture is re- ported from all poinrts, with conditions favorable for rapid germination, • JEWISH UNIVERSITY DULY INAUGURATED Earl Balfour Opens Seat of Learning for Hebrew Stu- dents in Jerusalem.

He'' opened the artery, removed the clots, sewed up -the ves°;e' and re- moved the stricture whirl ilad roma- ed in the aim being almost bloodless for several days. Shortly after the arm assumed a normal aspect.

El Nina turned thousands of miles of desert into paradise almost over- night, according to Dr. Murphy, as it caused millions of hardy seeds which had lain dormant in the ground through decades of drouth to sprout and grow with an incredible vigor. In a week brown and' red landscapes had been painted green, and Dr. 'Murphy and his companion, Van Campden Heilner, caught Hundreds of fish in the ,streets of the desert oil town of Talaro, where rain had not fallen for 34 years. This town was in a parched plain, as lifeless as the Sahara, when the scientists first saw it, before Jan. 12, when "The Child" swam down the coast,' but on March 7, -when they reached it, the .horizon Was one of grasses, flowers and fell - age, and the town was a Venice, with myriads of minnows swarming down its canals. , The rains, torrential and continu- ous, which carne down for; weeks after the arrival of El Nino off the coast, had interlaced the whole desert with streams, connected them with distant rivers, and carried billions of eggs from spawning places to cover the desert with minnows. That was the theory of the explorers, although the natives said the fish came from the ocean. Forestry and Water -Power De- velopments Provide Cheap • Newspapers. While many means are used for the „ dissemination of news,, the telephone, telegraph and radio, we cannot over- look the fact that the great distribu- tor of news is the newspaper, says the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior. Bacic of"the newspaper stands Can- ada's natural resources of forest and water powers. Newsprint is -compos- ed wholly of woodpulp, certain other chemicals being used only in the pre- paration of the pulp. In order to make the woodpulp a large amount of power is used. This power must be supplied et very low cost, for the reason that the product is a very low priced ma- terial, newsprint being sold to -day by the mills at a little over three and one- half cents per pound. It is estimated that a paper mill requires 100 horse- power for every ton of daily capacity -that is, a one -hundred -ton mill re- quires 10,000 horsepower. This power is supplied largely through the devel- opment of some of our magnificent water powers. Not many people realize the spend with which newsprint is made. Ma- chines have been installed within the past few years that will make a sheet of paper 284 inches wide, and they are running at. the rate of. 800 'feet of paper per minute. Taking the wood-. pulp in solution on the screen at one end of titin machine, it is being wound en the Toll at the other end in about one minute. This width of paper is divided into rolls of the length_ re- quired by the different sizes of news- papers. When we can put in . an enjoyable hour or more reading our newspaper, at a cost of two or three cents, let us not forget that -back of the paper, and providing the raw materials for its manufacture, are the forests and. water-powers of Canada.. For the benefits that the forests confer upon us let us reciprocate by guarding them against fire. . Eat More Fruit. It has been definitely established that iodino la au essential to health, and that in it we have it now elixir of lice. Lack of iodine In, the blood. is responsible for many ailments, includ- ing goitre. , This lack of iodine is termed "iodine starvation," and to counter its effect it isnecessary to absorb iodine into the system. T1te best tvaY oC doing this is by eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and common salt. Nature realizes the need of iodine, and we Un- do much of her work by refusing salt and by peeling and boiling cur fruit and vegetables. Iodine is a perfect external gsrml tide, and during the war its worth was realised as a first antiseptic di'essipg. Raw iodine should be taken only in reasonable doses,. and always under the supervision of a doctor.
