Milde Contra o�, S
in Tkenee o ses
(Experimental Farms Note)
Prevention is better than cure" is
an old motto that ease he applied to
the control of mildews and moulds in
greenhouses.
The first principle :n-prevenirion is
that of cleanliness which means the
destruction of all, foliage in the green-
house which is likely to harbour -the
mildew organiser. Most mildews pass
the wintering stage on diseased parts
of the plants atackecl. Empty green-
houses may also be freed of many
overwintering surface fungi by burn-
ing 10 ounces of sulphur per 1,000
cubic feet on hot coals or chips soak-
ed in coal oil. The houses should be
closed tightly for about 24 hours dur-
ing this process.
The second Method of prevention
is that of _creating an -unfavourable
environment for the germination and
further growth of the mildew or
mould organisms. Spores of mildew,
for instance, require e sce moisture'
before they can germinate. This
moisture can he present on the leaves
of the plant either after overhead
watering or as a dewy deposite due
to excessive humid'ty in a stagnant
atmosphere. This generally occurs at
night. Such conditions can be part-
Iy remedied by good ventilation and
increasing the temperature.
It has been recently found, for in-
stance, that leaf mould of tomatoes
can be controlled by ma'ntaining the
relative humidity below 70 per cent.,
when the temperature is 72 degrees
F., or else 75 per cent. when the tem-
perature is 64 degrees F. Unfortun-
ately many greenhouses are, not
equipped with adequate facilities for
ventilation and heathy,.
It is important that each green-
house operator should possess, not
only the ordinary thermometers, but
also wet and dry bulb thermometers
by means of which he can accurately
determine the percentage of hum-
idity its his greenhouse. He should
think of humidity in the sane way
as he Thinke of temperature ---in fig-
ures.
When the above methods of control
have proved unsatisfactory there is
still the old standby of prevention by
spraying or dusting. As far as mil-
dews are concerned, sulphur sprays
and dusts in their various fol'ns are
the onee that have given the best re-
sults, The main point is to• have a.
good coverage of the spray or dust on
the foliage and thus prevent the ger-
mination of the spores that might be
around. The K. 5.'Resin spray de-
veloped at the Saaniehton Laboratory
has proved quite effective against
mildew of roses. When sulphur dust

sible. In the control of tomato leaf
mould, vaporised sulphur has proved
quite effective with many growers.
Care must be taken, however, to avoid
injuring the plants during this pro-
cess. Vaporised sulphur must be de-
posited on the leaves as very fine
elemental sulphur. .
Many Meals Make
For Greater Efficiency
Angel Cake and five meals a day
may increase the productivity of fac-

They have studied "human guinea
pigs," including a group of them_ wrier
work in a shoe factory. It is found
that eating five -times a day tends to
reduce industrial fatigue. The angel
cake is in the picture because some
of the subjects of the experiments
might have declined the daily five

delicacy. The scientific minds sees
more value in a glass of milk and a
vegetable salad. _

Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller

that the time will come when man
may be enabled to live for centuries
instead of the approximate three-

Does man really have a desire to
live for centuries? Is there any rea-i
son why he should?
Some Power with greater insight j
than that of the scientists had it all
figured out that somewhere under the
century mark man would have exper-
ienced all of the emotions, that he
would have seen and experienced the
best and the worst, that he would
have had the opportunity to learn
about all he could absorb, that it he
had not experienced and had not

Total Production Value Risen
25 p.c. in Contrast to
40 p,c, Before 1920.
The total value of mining produc-
tion in Canada has risen from ap-
proximately 10 per cent. of the to-
tal primary production of the Dom-
inion in the years prior to 1020 to
an esthaated 20 to 25 per cent. in
1935.
Drawing attention to the remark-
able growth which mining has ex-
perienced, the Royal Bank of Can-
ada, in its monthly letter for March,
notes particularly that, whereas the
value of minerals did not decline as
rapidly as the value of other indus-
trial products with the onset of the
depression, on the other hand the re-
covery in value of mineral produc-
tion since 1932 has been ni.ore rapid
than that in any other industry.
Where total primary production in
1920 had a value of $2,277,661,000,
mining production that year amount-
ed to $213,042,000, Mineral produc-
tion held approximately the same ra-
tio to total primary production the
following year. With 1923 and 1924,
minerals began to constitute a larg-
er proportion of the total primary
production in each of these years of
less than $1,800,000,000. -
By 1929 mineral production am-
ounted to almost one-sixth of $1,875,-
387,000, the toatl value of primary
production. By 1935 mineral output
exceeded $300,000,000, and came
within 1 per cent. of the peak of
$310,000,000 attained in 1920. New
high records were attained for gold,
nickel, copper and zinc, Seventeen
new Canadian gold mines were
brought into production—eight in On-
terio, five in British Columbia, three
in Quebec and one in Manitoba.
Of no less importance as a bar-
ometer of progress in miring has
been the growth of mining payrolls
during the past five years. Accord-
ing to memorandum issued by the
Ontario Mining Association recently,
the total payroll for the Ontario
mining industry has increased from
$27,635,000 in 1927 to $34,433,000 in
1935, while for gold mines alone the
payroll has increased from 511,910,-
000 to $21,023,000 in the same per-
iod. The number of Ontario gold -
mining firms paying assessments to
the Compensation Board has increas-
ed from 105 in 19,30 to 301 in 1935.
Why Men Go Bald
Occupies Attention
Of Hairdressers
TORONTO ----One of life's eternal
mysteries, "why are men more often
bald than women," was not solved at
the- National Ladies' Hairdressers'
Convention, but almost as many rea-
sons and explanations were offered as
there were delegates present.
"Ask me another," suggested G..
Congras, Chicago, whose own hair
is very thin in spots. "They used to
say it was because amen wore hats too
tight. But women wear, hats three
times as tight as men."
"There are many causes of bald-
ness among men," said W. T.
Pember, president, whose silver locks
spread thickly and neatly over his
scalp. "Toeinention a few," he con-
tinued,. "there are pyhorrea of the
teeth, infected tonsils, kidney trouble,
in fact, any illness that poisons the
blood. Physical conditions affect scalp
conditions. Cure the one and you `cure
the other."
"Its worry, sickness, tonics with
too large an alcoholic content, and
heredity," declared L. L. Fenkell of
the Toronto Human Hair Supply
Company. "Men worry more than
woolen. It's a fact. Women may
think they worry, but they don't
worry actually as much as men, When
do hien become bald? When they
assume responsibilities."
youth, then to life, but generally
speaking, Nature has a merciful way
of acclimating the aging to age and
the aged to death, it isn't at all cer-
tain that there are many who would
go back eagerly and try it all over
again; some, but not many,
Offhand it seems something is now

WATCH YOUR STEP IN MARCH!
We have observed that nine per-
sons out of ten are affected unfav-
orably by strong winds.
March is a windy month so we
suggest that you watch your step.
If you are a married niau be care-
ful about dropping ashes on the rug
and do not play bridge with your
wife as a partner.
If you are single and think of pro-
posing to some flaxen -haired lady, it
might be just as well to put it off
for a few years, at least until you
are sure that two can live as cheaply
as one.
If you are an employee, it might
be just as well if you do not give
the boss to understand that you know
more about the business than be
does. March is always an unfortun-
ate month to do that.
If you are inclined to give unasked
for advice, it would be better to put
it off till May or June and then not
give it.
If you are asked for a loan of
$10,000, dig down and then mark
that man off your list because you
have lost a friend.
March is a good month to mind
one's own business and as we think
of it, all the other months night be
included in this.

If you have catarrhal deafness or
head noise, go to your druggist and
get 1 oz. of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it a pint of
hot water and a little sugar. Take a
tablespoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breath-
ing become easy and the mucous
stop dropping into the throat. It is
easy to prepare, costs little, and is
