' Bast has long been one of the
greatest bugbears of the wheat
grower, and it seems as if, just
as scion as one variety of the pest
is eheeked, another is bound to
turn up. A good example is the
recent advent of race 1513 of
stem rust. The wheat breeder is
lronstantly striving to keep ahead
of the rust threat by incorporat-
ing into our present standard
varietiett, the resistance of varie-
ties introduced from all over the
world, .Some of these wheats
'lave good resistance to our pre -
tient rusts, but undoubtedly new
;aces will arise to attack many
of them. Hence a long range view
•tnust be taken by the plant breed -
or to obtain material to satisfy.
riot only present needs, hut also
future needs.
Since it is becoming increusing-
iy difficult to find new resistant
wheats for breeding, other sources
,should be explored to supplement
the supply of resistance. says R. e.
McGinnis, Laboratory of Cereal
Breeding, Winnipeg, It is known
that certain wild grasses related
to wheat --various species of Ag-
ropyron, Aegilops and Haynaidia
--- have excellent resistance,
Should a transfer of this resist-
ance to common wheat prove
possible, then a new reservoir of
breeding material would be avail-
able. Some of these grasses do
not cross readily with wheat, -or
when they do crass, produce
sterile hybrids.
When this happens, a different
method of breeding must be used.
.tt'irst, two grasses are crossed and
then the resulting hybrid is treat-
ed with a chemical such as col-
chicine. Colchicine can cause the
chromosome number to double in
the plant cells, and the hybrid
thereby becomes- fertile and
stable. This is called "species
building" because such hybrids
are actually new species. In many
cases these new species can be
i•rossed successfillly with wheat.
In this way the rust resistance of
certain wild grasses may he trans-
ferred to wheat.
In 1951, a program such as out-
lined was started at the Cereal
Breeding Laboratory. Undoubted-
ly the program will meet with
.many adversities and will require
a number of years before its
practicability can be Tully as-
a ssed,
"Fish and chips" have been the
subject of. many jokes on the
stage and over the air; but potato
growers are coming more and
more to realize that, to them, the
"chips" part of the famous com-
bination is by no means a joke.
For potato chips are providing
a highly important outlet for in -
incased sales of the lowly spud.
The magazine "Canadian Food
Industries" reports that as early
as 1950 factory sales of potato
chips and flakes, in Canada,
totalled 3'/a million dollars. In
the United States the cash value
of chips produced in 1951 was
almost 185 million dollars, A

there prefer for snacks revealed
that potato chips were among the
top ten smelt foods.
'
Recently methods have been
developed experimentally to give
the chips candy, chocolate, or
cheese coatings to further in-
crease their popularity.
CI
Ethel Dixon and P. M. Towns -
ley, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, have tested a wide
variety of coating and candy re-
cipes. They found nine which
gave desirable coatings. They
were: white powdered sugar;
caramel, molasses, molasses and
peppermint, peanut taffy, spice,
corn syrup candies; nut brittle,
maple and lemon candy glazes,
0 a
It was found that candied coat- •
ings had to be applied at temper-
atures above 180 degrees F. or
transfer of moisture from the
candy to the chip resulted in a
soggy confection. •
Candies were applied by cook-
ing the candy nixes in duble
boilers with oil used as a heating
medium. The cooked candy was
poured into greased trays to cool
and harden. Pouring was clone
at 310 degrees F. The candy was
then ground to a fine powder.
Non -salted, fried potato chips
were mixed with this powder
until the chips were given a
thorough coating. These can be
used as powdered chips or further
treated to give them a glazed,
candied surface. Glazing consists
of exposing the powdered coated
chips to an instantaneous flash
heat 02 1,000 to 1,300 degrees F.
which spreads the powder in an
even thin glaze over the chips.
a * 4.
Chocolate coated chips are
made simply by dipping the un-
salted potato chips in a semi-
sweetbaker's eocolate at 80 to 85
degrees F.
;1 v
Should flavors such as pepper-
mint, maple, lemon, various spice
oils, or ground spice be desired,
the flavour should be added to
the candy either after it is con-
centrated to the desired temper-
ature, and immediately before
the candy hardens, or, if the
flavour is a powder, it may be
added to the ground candy.

Cheese coated chips, a more
recent development, have also
proved popular with a tasting
panel to whom they were sub-
mitted. ' Powdered sk i m m i 1 k

Lives in The Middle
Of Clover Leaf
As far as is known, 39 -year-
old Galo Putnam Emerson and
his wife and 10 -year-old son are
the only family who live smack
in the middle of a giant highway
cloverleaf.
What's more, the traffic which
spurts upland the house doesn't
seem to annoy them a bit. As a
matter of fact, the busy new
turnpike -just 20 miles to the
north of Boston -has proved a
one-way street to fame and for-
tune for the Emerson family.
1t wasn't ever thus. No less
than 300 years ago John Putnam
-an ancestor of Galo's-built
this charming mansion alongside
a quiet Indian trail "to get away
from the hubbub of the town
of Salem." Nine generations of
Futnams went on living there,
including the famous General
Israel Putnam who led troops
at Bunker Hill. From 1548 until
1949, the handsome colonial re-
sidence remained a nice quiet
hideaway, securely insulated
against the hustle and bustle of
Modern life.
Then, three years ago, the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Works began plotting a
new super -highway. One of
those giant modern eloverleafs,
with overpasses and underpasses,
would intersect it at Maple
Street and Newburyport Pike.
That's just where Galo's house
stood.
To be frank, he didn't much
cotton to the idea of living in a
traffic circ l e, serenaded ,by
screeching brakes and grinding
gears. Resides, the state could
find no precedent anywhere per-
mitting a family to live in a psi=
vote home, smack in the middle
of a public highway.
Still, the mansion was a his-
toric landmark. And •Galo
wouldn't move. So the depart-
ment made a bold decision. They
mould Preserve the house intact
with about eight of its original
acres, within • one arm of the
cloverleaf,
As workmen and steam shovels
and grading machines moved in„
Galo began warming over an
old ambition. He had always
wanted to go into business for
himself. Maybe this big upheav-
al could mean a new style of life
in more ways than one. The traf-
fic swirling past his front door
could also bring customers.
He thought of starting a gas
station, or maybe a Wayside din-
ing room. But his spry, dignified
heated about three • minutes at
'350 to 400 degrees an proved the
most satisfactory. S ki m m i 1 le
cleeese adhered to the surface of
the chip whereas fatty cheese slid
not. Chips coated with liquid
cheese were unattractive. In ap-
pearance and in taste. The cheese
flavour combined well with the
flavour of the potato chip and in
the cnee of the skimmiik cheese
coating the chips were attractive
in appearance. partiettlnrly When
toasted.
mother --now 78 -balker;. Not if
she could prevent it, she said;
it wasn't worthy of family tra-
dition, But why not turn an old
family custom to profit? The Em-
ersons and Putnams had always
been famously good candy -mak-
ers, and she had a recipe for
fudge, handed down from one
generation to another, that was -
a dilly.
In General Putnarn's old work-
shop, just 100 feet 'from the back
stoop of his house, Caalo installed
a Candy Shoppe. He added a few
flourishes, like a beamed ceiling,
salt box roof and huge eolonia)
fireplace. Then he hired an ole]
New England candymaker to
cook up more than 40 kinds of
candy - concentrating on fudge
as the Shoppe Specialty.. -
Within six months of its open-
ing, Putnam Candies had be-
come a great success.
However, Galo is now n man
beset by his own curious traffic
problem. The shop sits only 100
feet from his back door- less
than a minute's walk But he
likes to drive his car to and
from work, on the theory that
(1) he needs it for going Io the
postotiice, (2) he thinks a car
standing in the shop driveway
attracts customers.
Getting to work, is a breeze -
he just turns right on the clover-
leaf and drives the 100 feet
to the store. But the drive
hot -he - that's different. He
musti turn light, since it is a one-
way highway, and circuit -amyl -
gate the entire four arms of the
cloverleaf, going over the Maple
Street overpass twice, and tra-
versing under passes two times
more, That makes it fully a mile's
drive hornet The trip makes him
a bit dizzy, he says, since it's'
all in one direction, and one
right turn after another.
The Putnam House still snug-
gles down among a few remain-
ing great elms, as if hiding .from
the prying eyes of the motorists.
There it sits, a quiet .oasis of
residential charm, squarely in
the center of a traffic whirlwind.
Life in it, says Galo, ''is just like
in a beehive, frith swarms of
buzzing insects all around the
place."
But the Emerson couldn't be
happier about life in a cloverleaf
- since We 'brought all those
sweet profits, and helped a life-
long ambition come true.
-From "Pageant".
In the White Plains branch of
the Hall Clothing Company, a
housewife was helping her hus-
band pick out a new suit, When-
ever he 'liked one, she cried,
"Take it off. It's terrible," Fin-
ally, however, she' grew tired of
the argument and said, "Oh, well,
suit yourself. After all, you're
the one who'll have to wear it."
The man corrected her quietly,
"That goes for the coat and vest,
anyway."

Memory Selection: 1 am the

--Toho 11:25.
The greatest miracle is the re-
surrection "02 our Lord Jesus
Christ, About 9 a,m, Friday, he
was crucified. He give up His
spirit eabout 3 min. Soon His
body was taken down from the
cross and laid in a tomb. The
religious leaders persuaded Pil-
ate to post a guard "lest His
disciples come by night, and
steal Him away, and say unto
the people, 'He is risen from the
dead'; so the last error shall be
worse than the first"
At sunrise Sunday• morning
'the great event took place. Jesus
arose, folded the grave clothes
and laid them to one side, and
went forth. An angel rolled back
the stone and sat upon it. This
wasn't necessary to let Jesus
come forth but to let the dis-
ciples enter and see that He was
indeed risen. He may have gone
before the stone was removed,
for doors and walls were no ob-
stacle to Jesus after His resur-
rection, His body carne from the
old but it was different. Fatigue •
and death would never come
again. The body was perfected.
The guards were paralyzed with
fear and helpless. When the
angel rolled away the stone
there was also an earthquake.
Women were the first to the
tomb. They came to care for the
body but instead they were
greeted by an angel. They were
bidden to go and remind the
disciples that lie would go be-
fore them into Galilee. Back in
those 2 ami liar 'surroundings
where He had been with them
for much of three years, they
would see Him. •
For, forty days on different oc-
casions Jesus appeared to His
disciples. At one time 500 saw
him. This was no imagination.
They knew their Lord. More-
over He gave them a command.
They mu4t go into all the world
and make disciples of all- na-

ed. The door to China is closed.
The door to India is gradually
closing. The church must heed

Shrubbery, vines, roses, trees
and other nursery stock should
be planted- as early its possible.
This is especially true where the
climate is dry and extra water-

is to make sure that the - roots
of the new stock are kept away

Common Mistake
Two of the commonest mia;; kes
of the new gardener are plant-
ing - too close together iced too
deeply. When sowing one shrnild
always try and picture the vomit-
ing plants. Even tiny flowers -like
alyssum or portulaca, things that
are only an inch or so high -at
full maturity, will require :nom.
The safe rule is about at f ;1st

they are high when full grown.

tables this means at least a couple
Of inches. between and uvith, any,
zinnias, peas, beans, etc„ they to
six inches. With dahlias and corn
this should be 12 to 18 enehes.
The rule for depth is three: 0mes
the diameter of the seed or root
planted. Now this does not mean
that one should measurt with
calipers but simply press ur tiny
seeds, while such things as beans
and peas should be covered a'5i101
an inch deep. A few very tall
flowers like gladiolus and dah-
lias should go from SIX 0: 12
inches,
Back Savers ---
Where one has more than the
average sized lot, a garden trac-
tor plus el including a - rower
lawn mower will save a lot of
time and hard work. They will
also do the work at least five
times faster than by hand, It is
a mistake to purchase too large
equipment especially in tractors.
The smaller types are much more
easily handled. Experienced gar-
deners advise buying more and.
smaller power units, rather than
a big heavy tractor with s lot
of attachments.
Planting Calendar
Flowers and vegetables arrange
themselves in three convenient
main planting groups. First come
those things which will stand e
lot of frost, In fact most of them
can be sown just as soon as the
can get out on the ground in the
spring. In this hardy category are
cosmos, ,napdragons and- sweet
peas among the flowers, and let-
tuce, radish, peas and spinach
among the vegetables.
Then come the semi -hardy
things, like petunias, nasturtiums,
zinnias among the flowers a,nd
beets, cabbage, beans, etc., among
the vegetables.
Last are the tender plants
which if a frost does not kill out-
right will damage them so severe-
ly that they will actually lag be-
hind later plantings, Examples are
dahlias and gladiolus in dowers,
and in vegetables melons, ctteutn-
bers, corn and the main planting
of potatoes. Of course with the
vegetables especially we can rush
the season a bit. Usually a few
rows of corn and potatoes are
risked heading of time, In the
seed catalogue, the various de-
grees of hardiness will be shown.
On most seed packets, • too;' there
is some indication of the proper
time to plant, in addition to other
vital information like soil and
sunshine requirements and depth
to plant and how far to thin. -
