May iIse Northern Route Negotiations are being made with a view to the shipping of cattle from Canada's new northern sea port, `r i Churchill, ttrcltill, to the United Kingdom, Canadian cattle bound for Britons are now sent by rail 2,000 miles from Calgary to Montreal and by sea from itontreal, Halifax or St, John.

Its Face Lifted Very few people know the inter- esting history behind the 'develop- ment of the popular and ubiquitous, tomato, which has 'not always. been the luscious, . appetizing, bulging, smooth, rounded, .ripe red fruit we know to -day. There was a time, and not so many years ago, at that, when the tomato was .a wrinkled, wizened up, unattractive, skimpy fruit, which had very little "eye appeal." It has only been of very recent years, as the result of the work of Burbank and specialists in plant breeding, that tite tomato's little wizened -up old face has been lifted to the sunny, smiling attracttive countenance that makes h so popular to-day.--Dontin- ion Fruit Branch. Saves Bee -Keepers Work A new method of detecting prepar- ations for swarming in bee colonies is xeported on by the Superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Lennoxville, Que who says:- "searching queen cells, by taking out every comb of brood, is a tedious task; to obviate such a procedure an experiment was started five years ago: When the colonies show any signs of congestion in the spring, a shallow super is placed on the brood chamber with no queen excluder, so that the queens have free access to this second brood chamber. When examining the colonies, it is a good ideato tip the super from the rear and note if queen cells are present along the upper edges of the combs in the super," Honey Production Figures A report recently compiled by the Bee Division of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture estimates' honey production for 1931. at 27,867,- 397 pounds, made up as follows: Province Lbs, Prince Edward Island .--.:. 10,000 Nova Scotia - . 87,772 New Brunswick ... _.. 100,000 Quebec - 5,633,400 Ontario , . „ • 12,000,000 Manitoba........_ _..... 7 n 7 _•-., ,a6i,35 Saskatchewan _- „,_.,..- 609,480 Alberta .'.., 915,000 liritieh.

C0nierring with the Htrn, Mr. Weir and officers of the Deltartaxtent of Agriculture, Profess- ear Gltigi outlined preparations being made by the Government of Italy for the Congress: The famous Tratjan Forum wall house ;the national and conaaaierdal exhibits, while 'sareetings sof tin a Congress will be held in the Ltrstatarte of Agriculture, and tine torrraal Capeninag by Premier Mnsso- lint grill take place in the fatntans Capitol. Uniformity will be the key ;mote in Congress exhibits, the g'ov- ernrnenat of Italy Tarnishing the stalls of the six galleries stuffing the For - at, with identical decorative lighting and distinct features. The live bird exhibit will occupy the forecourt of the Forum; and present indications arts are that next year's Congress will ecrta.hatly equal, if not exceed, the ttaae high standard set by preceding atgesses.
