* and spirit by. every means she
* can, so site becomes a well--
* balanced individual competent to
* meet the multitudinous problems
* which attack every marriage,
* If you do not go to college,
* how will you spend the next two
* years? Yearning for your sweet-
* heart? Floundering from one in-
* consequential interest to another
* in your effort to kill time? Stintu-
* luting those emotions so recently
*aroused?
* The boy you love is finishing
*'tis education, to fit ]tint for the
* career that will provide for a wife
* and family. It is likely he cannot
o marry anybody for two years
* after he graduates, until he has
* launched himself properly in his
* life work,
Can you do less?
* Your years in college will not
* only help you accumulate knowl-
* edge, they will teach you disci-
* pline, and train your mind,
* Daily association with the stet-

iiRONICLES
/u1NGERFAR
do ins P. Clo,uke
Between, painting and entertain-
ing; canning and writing, I have
done a little reading -that is over
and above tete papers and maga-
zines that conte to the house -and
overflow onto tables, chairs and
chesterfield. I never can keep our
reading material in order. I have
been trying to read Louis Brom-
field's books -"Pleasant Valley"
and "Malabar Farm." And when I
say "trying" that is no reflection
on the author -quite the opposite.
It was this way. I brought home
"Malabar Farm" from the library -
ostensibly to read it myself. But
0 ben I had read about ten pages
Partner got hole' of it. When
he was through it was time for
the book to go back. Because it was
stew I could not get it renewed.
So I wrought back "Pleasant Vall-
ey" instead and ant halfway through
it. Both books are too meaty to
hurry over, Read carefully a lot
can be learnt from Louis Brom-
field's writting, both as regards
farming and life in general. I-1is
philosophy is pretty good.
:tlr.
Bro ttf'
t la'd's pet subject is
soil conservation. He thinks that
soil conservation -or the lack of
it -has a much greater effect upon
farming, and the welfare of a people,
than is generally realised, Lack of
soil conservation is already threat-
ing the world's food supply. Mr.
Bromfield claims their never has
been a world surplus of food but
always a scarcity -uneven distri-
bution is the only factor making
surpluses in some countries. Scar-
city is likely to increase unless still
more is done to prevent further soil
erosion, which, L. B. contends, is
mainly the result of poor farming
---that is, farmers taking all they
can out of the soil and putting noth-
ing hack, This practise dates back
to the early settlement days it the
United States when the fertile land
was cleared indiscriminately and
cropped so intensely that'in two
or three generations the top soil
was worn out. Then farmers moved
further west, took up more virgin
hand and continued the process of
soil erosion. He likens these early
immigrants to "a plague of locusts
moving across the continent" -the
main exceptions being the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch who settled on the
land and enriched it by their good
farming.
Eventually agriculturists reali-
sed that something was happening
to what had been their good earth.
No longer was it producing the
bountiful crops to which they prev-
iously had been accustomed. An in-
ten>fva reseach programme was
carried out and as a result, twenty -
fire years ago, a movement was
started to systemize farming, recla-
iant the impoverished land and stop
further soil erosion. But what has
been done is apparently still not
enough and Mr. Bromfield contends
that unless wasteful farming meth-
ods are changed there will event-
ually be a shortage of food in the
Ti, S. A. He admits that such a con-
dition sounds fantastic but he also
reminds his readers that a few
generations ago such a theory was
also fantastic to the people of India
and China. Yet now, half the people
in those countries live their lives
out without ever having had enough
t0 cat. Soil erosion not only means
poor financial returns for the farmer
but the loss of nthneralsin the soil
also affects the health of a nation,
since it is impossible for any man
to he better than the food Ile eats.
Incidentally Louis Brontfield's the..
cry for world distribution of food
is much the sante as that of Cana-
da's H. H, Idanuamn,
"Pleasant Valley" leas one chap-
ter devoted entitcly to the building
of "The Big ]louse" and was quite

ily was given the privilege of decor.
atlug his or her own room, Tastes
were vastly different so the result
was unusual, to say tete least. In
one respect all roans were 011(e --
windows so low that anyone could
sit in a chair or lie in bed and still
look out the window. That would
ISSUE 32 1950 ,
suit me. Our windows are high
set and I always wish I could low-
er them about a foot.
But back to soli erosion. In his
hooks Louis Bromfield is referring
mainly to the United States, but
ouch of what he says is equally
true of Canada, From our own ex-
perience Olt the prairie we know on-
ly too well the effect of soil erosion,
Huck of the prairie land should
never have been farmed at all, We
also have a sample right hear here,
Two years ago the Department of
Highways made a new piece of
road past our place. They got "fill"
from a nearby hill, Steam shovels
scooped up the good earth, trucks
carried it away until the "hill" was
lower than the road. Now that
piece of land is like a desert -the
subsoil is gone, in places there is
nothing growing, not even a weed,
'Yet that piece of land is government
property -and no doubt there are
other such patches, The government
spends thousands of dollars in con-
servation propaganda --wouldn't it
be more to the point to give a prac-
tical demonstration on restoring
fertilty tp soil on waste land so
that trees at least could be planted
and encouraged to grow? Farmers
are not the only sinners,
Clover - And Beep,
Roadsides are sweet now with
honeysuckle oto}suckle and clover, the warm,
sweet fragrance of summer at its
peak. Honeysuckle begins to pass
its prime, though there will be
blossom and lesser sweetness till
the asters bloom. But clover blooms
all smuttier long, a delight to bees,
a friend of the soil and a pleasure
to anyone who pauses to look
One thing about clover; it takes
the soil as it finds it, sends down
eager roots, spends the whole sea-
son at a complex chemical job and
gives a new supply of fresh nitrates
to the soil it occupies. Clover re-
builds the soil, and is constantly
teaching out for new soil to reclaim.
Give it half a chance and it will
take over a gravelly roadside or
a worn-out field where few other
plants will grow, and in a few sea-
sons the clover has given it new
life. And all the while the clover
will cloak that soil in cool green,
brighten the landscape with its
miniature sweet pea blossoms, and
feed every bee within range.
The one thing clover needs to
thrive is cooperation of the bees.
Take away the bees and the clover
won't outlast the season, as Aus-
tralia learned long ago. For the
bees fertilize tile clover blooms and
tines enable it to reseed itself. On
the other hand, take away the
clover and the bees would be bard
put to fi!l their hives. Clover honey
outweighs all other varieties, year
after year.
It would be a dull and less fra-
grant summer without the coopera-
tion of bees and clover. Together
they help keep the planet green
and sweet, with no thanks asked.
Mystery Of The

cinating puzzles is the mystery of
the "Little Men" -the dwarfs who

Eskimos have handed down the
story to their children, as parents
in other lands relate the adventures
of ",Alice in Wonderland" or "Jack

• Legend says that these dwarfs
are nighty men. Even though they
are short they are supposed to be
able to carry the largest caribou
(deer) on their backs. It is only
the huge caribou they hunt -not the
timid seal which is highly valued
by almost all other Eskimos.
For many years white men dis-
counted such stories as a fanciful
