The general indication from the tests of 1933 on sugar beets both by the Department of Chemistry and by the Dominion and Canadian Sugar Company favors 2-16-6 as a fertilizer. This was the fertilizer that Mr. Hodg- son used on his beets from which he got an average ylied of 13,7 tons. per acre, and the sugar content was 17.3% which is almost 1% higher than that obtained from 2-1244. The above facts - I v is will prove quite In terestin;g to Huron farmers who have been watching this test and to others who are interested in the sugar beet question. They are largely in line with a test conducted; oir the farm of Mr. W. H. Shapton„ Exeter, • last year, where a yield of 19,6 tons per acre carrying 16% sugar resulted from the use of 2-16'4. as against 15.2 tons yield where, no fertilizers were used. , A five plot test of fertilizer mix- tures on alfalfa was also laid down on the farm of 11Tr, W. H. Hodgson near Centralia, when the fertilizer was broadcasted on the yowng alfalfa at the rate of 375 lbs per acre. The growing season was so extremely aryl that the experiment was practically spoiled. However, there was a gain from phosphate -potash fertilizers, 0- 12-10, 0-12-15 of about 408 lbs. of dry hay per acre, also the same from 2 - WALT DISNEY IS A :I HURON OLD BOY I Creator of Mickey Mouse Attended School at Bluevale. (By Bob IVEcStay, Central Press Can- adian Writer) The Mickey Mouse cartoons and the Silly Symphonies are judged by motion picture reviewers to be the outstanding development in cinematic history since the advent of .sound: Notable, of course, has been the success of "Three Little Pigs," a car- toon in song and color, which is still playing great performances in the principal cities of Canada and the United States, and whose theme song "Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf" has swept the continent. What is not generally known, how- ever, is the fact that Walt Disney, creator of, the cartoon series, is the grandson of Elias Disney, who left Ireland. in 1836 to settle in Upper Canada. A tract of land was taken up near Goderich on the Maitland River, where Elias Disney built a saw -mill and a grist -mill, the first in the `community. The country was heavily timbered, there was plentiful wild life and fishing and an abund- ance of wild grapes and plums. The Disney progeny went to the public school at Bluevale and attended the Wesleyan Methodist chui•ch, Later,, the boys married and settled down on farms of their own. KeppleMary le Disneymarried :Rich- ardson, ich=ardson, daughter of one of the early settlers of Holmesville, in the same county, and bought a hundred acres on the Maitland River.

On well prepared ground five diff- erent fertilizers' were apllied on 113 !acre blocks each', Through a mistake in instructions no unfertilized arca was left for comparison, but results from the 'tests : laid _dowrt are inter- esting in themselves.

A camera was built in the garage at the rear of his father's home and, with the help of his brother, Roy, Walt Disney created the first Mickey Mous cartoon. The Mickey Mouse. featurettes had a medium reception and it was not until the advent of sound that they gained such interna- tional popularity. Later came the Silly Symphonies in color, making the Irish -Canadian young man one of the leading and most prosperous figures in a topsy-turvy Hollywood.
