with the Paris Agricultural Society
on September 20th. Classes are pro-
vided for four breeds of dairy cattle
with a prize list of over $1,000 off -

Valuable Meadow Results
Good ordinary meadow mixtures of
clover and timothy can be increased
as high as 49 per `cent, green weight
lay proper fertilization. This is the
average result of ten carefully con-
ducted tests throughout the province
last summer by : the Department of
Chemistry. In .these tests, one-half
acre blocks of meadows were measur-
ed off during early spring and fer-
tilizer of various mixtures was ap-
plied. In most .cases the fertilizer
was sown with the drill.
The average gain for the entire
test was a little over a ton per acre
;green weight. This showed e nice
return on the money invested in fer
etilizers. The addition made to the
'meadows . in these tests averaged a-
bout 200 pounds per acre, or repres-
ented an investment of five to six
dollars per acre.
/for the storing of grain and for stook
threshing which is becomingvery
popular. Crops such as potatoes,
beans, sugar beets, corn and tobacco,
will have light yields due to lack of
rainfall. The yields of all fruits, es-
pecially apples and grapes, will be
detrimentally affected. Pastures in
many sections were severely burned
and many dairymen, especially in
Western Ontario, have had to resort
to feeding their cattle grain and en-
silage. This expense, in addition to
the low price paid for milk' at the
cheese factories .has .caused the far-
:niers
ar-lniers no little concern. The short-
age of pasture has also increased the
shipments of cattle., and lambs, with
the result that many cattle will be
sold at a loss.
Crop Conditions
Recent reports from agricultural
representatives would indicate that i
the yields of fall wheat and spring
'grains have been exceptionally good, i
Wtiier conditions have been ideal
Apple Yield Lower
The Canadian commercial apple
crop prospect, re.porred on August 1,
indicates a .yield of 2,990,109 barrels,
as compared with a ;sold *of 3,939,915
barrels in 1929, or 75.8 per cent. of
last year, of 93.9 of the five-year av-
erage of 3,182, 195 barrels. British
Columbia., with are estimated crop of
4,169,136 boxes, .is the only province
reporting an increase over last year.
Nora Scotia expects a crop of slight-
ly over half that of the bumper crop
in 1929, while Ontario, Quebec and
New Brunswick report decreases
ranging from 12.5 per cent. to 38.9
per cent. Indications are that 'fruit
will be of fair to good size, and in
general color prospects are favorable.
The extremely 'dry weather which has
prevailed throughout most sections of
Ontario and British Columbia has re-
sulted in a slight reduction in the es-
timates for plttms and prunes, peaches
and grapes, although in all cases ex-
pected yields are considerably larger
than last year:

Cx eat Inland Sea Bye to a rlucic
I'iotteer and . afiis Little
Boat,
Public attention has been drawn
to one of the romauees of :British
lihnpire development by the unveil-
ing of a granite column on Hind-
eia,rsh Island, at the mouth of the
IUs'er Murray, in Australia, to com-
memorate a great adventure of a
century ago,
The hero of this adventure was
Captain Charles Stunt. He set out to
dlecover a legendary inland sea west
of the Blue Mountains, and found
something that has proved of prime
importance in the development of
Australia --that the eastern river sys-
tem, the .possibilities and extent of
which had never before been realiz-
ed, drained an area of 414,253
:quare miles, or twice the size of
France,
Aad now, thanks to the river down
which Sturt was the first to voyage,
the dream of an inland sea is at last
to become a fact. Work is now in
progress on the Hume reservoir, as a
result of which ;gin area of 44,000
acres will be submerged to form the
greatest fresh -water lakein in 'the Is
land Continent.
Sturt did not aotually discover the
Murray—that was done by Hamilton
Hume,' who crossed it in 1824—but
he was . the first to discover how it
linked up with the rest of the eastern
river system and to realize the, con-
tribution It might make to the de-
velopment of the country.
The expedition that was to change
the map of Australia and the course
of Australian history started out.
equipped for travel on land. Carry-
ing stores on drays, it made its way
along the bank of the Murrumbidgee
for 440 miles. Then Sturt was faced
with an obstacle that semed to make
further progress impossible. Great
forests of reeds barred the path.
Sturt, however, was not a man
whom . it was • easy , to stop. Among
his equipment were two small boats,
in sections, which he had brought
along in case they were wanted. He
put the sections together and took
to the river with a small party of
dauntess spirits.
The voyage started badly. The
very next day the second boat en-
countered sunken rocks and was
swamped, all the party's provisions.
being lost except flour, tea, and
sugar.
Even this did not make the adven-
turers turn back. On they went,
though the channel was narrowing,
and the river was black with tree
trunks swept down by flood. Again
and again what seemed almost cer-
tain disaster ; was avoided only by a
hairbreadth.
From this nightmare journey down
a fierce and dangerous torrent, the
little boat was suddenly swept out
on to the placid bosom of what Sturt
described as a "broad and noble riv-
er." Down this they voyaged until
they reached the sea, thirty-ilve days
after. they had launched their frail
craft on the Mu rtumbidgee.
The return journey proved as dan-
gerous as the voyage to the sea, but
although the current was now
against them, it took only seven days
Ionger.
So far, the Murray has been utilized
chiefly for irrigation purposes -the
fact that its mouth is obstructed by
sandbanks has discouraged attempts
to use it as a highway for trade. Even
in irrigation the most impotent works
have only been undertaken within re-
cent years, and the full program is
likely to take another five years to
complete.
Indeed, it is a little doubtful if all
the works planned, will be completed.
There is no doubt of their practic-
ability; there is no doubt that they
would open up a great new area for
settlement; but there is considerable
doubt as to whether markets could
be found for so large an additional
produce. That is why the. ,British
Economic Mission to Australia re-
cently recommended caution in pro-
ceeding with the scheme.
But the results of what has already
been accomplished are distinctly en-
couraging. Three-fifths of Australia's
canned fruit production conies from
land which has been irrigated, and
land which was valueless only ten
years ago now commands, thanks to
irrigation, a price of $1,500 or even
$2,000 an acre.
Sturt, who died in England in
1860, saw none of these develop-
ments, but it was he who made them
possible.
Fish Moths.
Silverfish or fish moths as they are
sometimes called are slender wing-
less scale -covered insects possessing
a pair of long antennae or "feelers"
and three long tail-like appendages
at the end of the •abdomen, They 'fre-
quently attract attention in dwell -
Ings,, libraries, bake -shops and var-
ious other buildings where they maay
be found in warm' moist secluded sit-
uations, in and among papers, books,
clothing, etc. When disturbed or sud-
denly exposed to strong light they
run rapidly into a place of conceal-
ment. Silverfish feed chiefly on
starchy materials and glue, and for
this reason sometimes cause serious
damage to glazed papers and bind-
ings of books. In addition they at-
tack starched clothing and fabrics
and feed on dry food stuffs contain•
ing' starch. They also have been
known to remove the paste from be-
hind wall papers eausing the latter
to peel from the walls.
After Eighty -Three Year.
After 83 years the Grades glacier,
in East Tyrol,has delivered up one of
its dead. The body of the man, a
gamekeeper called Mattershorn, was
brought to light like that of a dead
Rip Van Winkle, in almost the state
in which lite left it 83 -years ago.

The contrast in weather conditions
during the present summer in South-
ern and Northern Ontarioand in
Quebec has been of a most astonish-
ing nature and holds more than a
touch of irony for farmers generally.
In the north -and in Quebec the rain
came in such copious quantities that
crops were injured, seriously in some
districts. In Old Ontario, crops
sweltered day after day under a mer-
ciless sun for a periiud of nearly two
months. Rainfall figures for July af-
ford the most striking illustration of
what the countryside has borne. In
Southern Ontario the rainfall was .53
inches, whereas the average figure is
3.5 inches of moisture. Quebec, on
the other hand, had the greatest rain-
fall
ainfall in thirty years. The total for the

FAMOUS
Seldom has any single act been of
greater benefit to mankind than that
of I)r. Caldwell in iSS5, when he
wrote tha prescript' which has
carried his fame to i.. four corners
of the earth.
Over and over, Dr. Caldwell wrote
the prescription as he found men,
wonhen and children suffering from
those common syntptonrs of constipa-
tion, such as coated tongue, • bad
breath, headaches, gas, nausea, bilious'
Chess, no energy, lack of appetite, and
similar things.
Demand for this prescription grew
so fast, because of the pleasant, quick
way it relieved such symptoms of
constipation, that by 7888 Dr. Cald-
well was forced to have it put up
ready for use. Today, Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is always
ready at any drugstore.

CANADIAN NATIONAL HILI SPOTS AT C.N.E.
•
IMAGINE a glorious section of the
Canadian Rockies hewn boldly from
the bosom of Mother Earth, and a
giant hand reaching down into one of
the Canadian National Steamships'
West Indies' fleet and stealing a group
of luxurious cabins, then you have an
idea of this year's exhibit of the
Canadian National Railways at the
Canadian National Exhibition.
.Jasper National Bark is one of the
two features of the exhibit. In a 50 -foot.
long panorama of the mountains, a
mother bear and her cubs go frollicking
in the forest, deer are made to scamper
through the brush and the noble
Athabasca river sings a rippling song of
contentment.
Marvellous effects are' obtained by
the use of colored lights. Beginning
with the faint light of dawn; the sky
changes to the beautiful hues of sunrise
and :slowly dusk conics and moving
clouds are painted with reds and blues
to give an excellent idea of the sunsets
for which the mountains are noted.
In another part of the railways'
building, visitors walk the gang plank
and over the side into the "Lady
Nelson", flagship of the West Indies
fleet. Inside the white hull, is a portion
of the main lobby and, directly opposite,
the purser's office. A iinifornhed officer
is ready behind the grille. and he -has
an efficient staff of six stewards waiting
to initiate the visitor into the ship's
mysteries. Leading off the lobby are
rooms, exact replicas of those on board
the `Lady" ships, and showing the
various types of accommodation.
