4g.Tu0s4'/Wheat
Growit in the 'Wc6V The. arse re-
fers to, certain recults,ubtained by a
Stelae? Settle.living near Relninnton,
tit, and •Fives the trapresSioa that
the, wheat in question was disCovered
• 1924 M. the tomb of King Tut-
linkh,-0,merr. As a Matter of /act the
aecerd§ show that this wheat was
kaown as far bait as 1S49. when one
enterprising gentleman offered heads
at $5.00, each.
The shave variety belongd to the
Foulard subspecies of wheat being
somewhat intermediate between the
common and durum wheats. It has
numerous aliases, the most common
of which are Egyptian, Eldorado,
Many Headed, Miracle, Mumray, Sev-
en Headed and Alaska. It has always
been easy to interest people in this
wheat owing to its branched head. If
an unbranched head will yield so much
surely a branched head will yield
much more! While head for head
this may be true, yet experiments
have not shown that it holds kood
acre for acre. This wheat was prob-
ably introduced into North America
from Europe or Egypt in Colonial
days. It was received by the Phila-
delphia Society for promoting Agri-
culture in 1807, since which time it
has appeared periodically under one
name or another.
In 1908 the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture began an exten-
sive investigation of this wheat, which
investigation continued for several
years. In the meantime it has been
tried by fanners all over the United
States but it is not now grown any-
where as a commercial crop. The fact
that it has never become established
in spite of the remarkable advertis-
ing it has received is a good indica-
tion of its inferiority. Promoters,
however, resurrect it periodically and,
owing to its striking and unusual ap-
pearance, manage to sell it to the un-
suspecting farmer at exorbitant pric-
es.
The essential facts concerning Al-
aska wheat have been summed up
very nicely in a bulletin published by
the United States Department of
Agriculture, Bulletin No. 3.57, 1916,
P. 2e, at the conclusion of extensive
tests conducted at many points in the
United States., as follows:
(1 That it has been used in this
country very often as a means of de-
ceiving people and very seldom as a
farm crop;
(2) That it has failed to produce
even fair yields when tried in many
parts of the country, and has never
been known to produce extraordinary
yields;
(3) That it is not a good milling
wheat;
(4) That the branched head is not
a sign of superior yielding power.

BELIEF IN WITCHES THRIVES IN
HARLEM
Belief in witches and magic medi-
cines, in spells and the evil eye ex-
ists no further away than the black
community in Harlem, and we have no
doubt in black communities much
nearer home. But in Harlem, because
of its large population of negroes, the
superstitions sway more people and
ar- more likely to come under the eye
of the police. In fact, the negroes of
Harlem are in about the same state
of enlightenment as the Scottish peo-
ple were in 1725 when a convicted
witch was burned at Dornoch. Some
years later the professor of law at
Glasgow University was instructing
his students as to the evidence proper
to be looked for in cases of witch-
craft. In Illarlem, as elsewhere, the
negroes tend to remain a separate
group due to the reluctance of the
whites to mingle with them on terms
of amiable equality. But the educat-
ed negroes, of whom there are many,
do not choose to mingle with the ig-
norant negroes and therefore super-
stition thrives in stuffy corners. Even
in negroes who have their contacts
with the outside world superstition is
not unknown.
Fortunately the New York negroes
who believe in voodooism do not seek
any human beings to placate the dark
powers who govern their world. Be-
lief in witchraft leads, at worst, to
fraud and disillusion, but it is a kind
of religion and probably gives comfort
to those who cherish it even when it
^1q them into distress. The police
. it difficult td suppress the fakers
who live upon the credulity of the
negroes because their victims will re-
fuse to testify, and even when the
swindler has been arrested they do
not doubt his powers, as en authentic
dispenser of the black arts, to cause
disaster to descend on the heads of
his enemies. Recently an aged woman
complained that a witch had sold her
a charm that did not work. She had
been troubled hy thieves and instead
nf appealing to the police had sought
the advice of a witch who had sold
her a rabbit's foot which had run a-
cross a grave, and a spring of "High
John." But these spells were unavail-
ing for the next week the washing off
her line was stolen, and somebody
broke into her rooms and made off
with her money. So she complained
to the police, but when her anger
cooled she refused to go on with the
case, feeling convinced that the witch
would only wish some enore bad luck
on her.
The popular charms in Harlem to-
day aresprigs of various myste-riotts
woods which are imported from no-
body knows where and are supposed
to guarantee good luck. Some 'Of
them will cure diseases, and others
Will cast spells over crrie's enemls.
To COW an enemy it is supposed'
be necessary only to put One of these
sprigs in the mouth aa he approach-
es, chew it defiantly and look the en-
emy squarely in,the eye. If this dem-
'castration does not serve, it may he

"John the Conqueror," "High John"
and "Adam and Eve," are shoots from
trees about a foot in length, some of
them still bearing their withered
leaves as a guarantee of their effect-
iveness. They are sold at from $5
to $10 each, though sometimes as
mach as $50 is paid for a sizeable
piece of "John the Conqueror." The
theory is that these pieces of wood
come from Africa and have been put
through a series of sprouts by native
witch doctors, who have impregnat-
ed them with their own magic pow-
ers. At first these things were hand-
led by the so called "Yarb" or witch
doctor, but white druggists have
found them profitable too, and have
dispensed various worthless or harm-
less medicines to the blacks. O-ne of
them made a mistake when he sought
to palm off a piece of licorice root as
a niece of "High John." It turned
out to be ipecac and the chewing of
it was attended with distressing re-
sults. Love philtres, of course, are
sure sellers and Harlem spends tens
of thousands of dollars a year for
them.
They are dispensed under the gen-
eral name of "Keep 'Em Powders,"
and as much as $10 is paid for a sin-
gle shot of this dope which is suppos-
ed to revive the waning affections of
s husband or excite the languid in-
terest of an admirer into sorhetbing
more sheik -like. Asked for a love
powder recently a white druggist of-
fered an ounce of sugar of milk at
25 cents, only to have his insulted
customer walk out_of the store. Had
he demanded $10 she would have been
happy. One seller of charms when
upbraided by a magistrate defended
himself. He admitted he had made a
high charge, but explained that the
charm was from the wing of a buz-
zard caught in a cemetery on t'he
third dark night of the month. It is
no easy job to catch buzzards in these
circumstances, and he explained that
he had caught a cold while waiting
for the auspicious moment. These old
superstitions and practices are kept
alive in Harlem by the immigration
of ignorant negroes from the South
or from t'he West Indies. The North -
cern negroes speedily rid themselves
of such relics of barbarism, and if
they have any connection with the
thing at all it is in the profitable
guise of witch doctors. -J. V. Mc-
Aree.
MILK, ALSO BYRD'S FAVORITE
BEVERAGE
"He chatted with his hosts, and
drank a glass of milk before retiring."
Such was the message broadcasted
by the Associated Press after Aviator
Byrd was rescued from his good ship
"America," landed in the sea, two
hundred yards off the Normandy
coast. Lyndbergh, probably less tired
than Byrd, wanted milk and a bath
before retiring; Byrd wanted just a
glass of milk.
What they drank is an unfailing
indication of what they are. It tells
the reason for this ability to stand the
test, endure the strain, and win the
race. The use of milk by Lyndbergh
and Byrd in their diet demonstrates
its health and strength giving proper-
ties. These are facts for the consid-
eration and guidance of all who would
emulate their stamina, manhood and
success. Publicity, National Dairy

SAFE MILK IN MONTREAL
It would seem as if tourists are not
going to Montreal this season becaUse
of the recent typhoid epidemic. Some
that do go are afraid to drink milk
because the epidemic was a milk born
one. We can assure our tourist
friends that for over two months the
pasteurization of milk in that city
has been closely supervised by the
Provincial Health Authorities and to
drink milk there is quite safe. To
those who don't like pasteruized milk,
"Certified Milk," which is now pro-
duced for the Montreal market, may
be had at the leading hotels.
BUTTER AGAIN WINS OUT
That butter fed boys gained in
weight and height over oleomargarine
fed boys is the result of a year s test
lately finished in England. We have
read much rbout feeding tests made
on rat, pigs, dogs, and hens by Dr.
McCollum 'of the Johns -Hopkins Uni-
versity and Dr. Palmer ot the Una
venity (, r Minesota, where in every
case when butter was added to the
basic diet greater gain was made thin
alien oleomargarine was fed to these
animals.
In the English test, growing boys
lare taken, ranging from 10 to 14
years. Twenty-six boys fed a basic
diet, plus 1% ounces of butter daily,
made an average gain in weight of
6.30 pounds, and an increase in height
of 2.22 inches in one year. Against
this the sixteen boys of same age fed
a basic diet, plus 1% ounces of oleo-
margarine_ daily, gained an average
in weight of 6.21 pounds and an aver-
age of 1.84 inches in height for the
same period. The following is the
cold blooded comment of the British
Investi gation:
"Sixteen boys (the oleomargarine
squad) who remained under observa-
tion continuously for 12 months, gain-
ed during that period an average of
5.21 Rounds per boy, and grew an
average of 184 inches per boy.
When this result is compared with
the result of feeding another batch
with an equal quantity of butterfat,
it is obvious that the vegetable marg-
arine has failed.
"The group of, boys who ate the
margarine ratio did not grow any
faster than the batch of boys who
were taking nnly the basie diet, the
average growth rate 1.84 inches being
the same."--$pecial Report, Series No.

"SIR HENRY" BUT NOT THE
C. N. R. PRESIDENT
Like many other western towns in-
to which the Canadian National trains
run, Kamloops usually has a few fav-
ors to ask of the president of that
railroad on the rare occasions when
he visits the city.
As a rule there is ample notice
given of the date 'of anival of the
railway magnate, but recently civid
and board of trade circles were thrown
into considerable excitement when
word spread that Sir •Henry Thorn-
ton was already in Kamloops, having
slipped in quietly and so escaped the
usual welcoming delegations.
The mystery deepened when it waa
announced that Sir Henry had arriv-
ed over the Canadian 'Pacific lines, in-
stead of his own road, which is cer-
tainly not 'his usual choice ----not even
in Kamloops, which the C. N. R. has
to enter backwards because of topo-
graphical difficulties.
For a considerable time Sir Henry
could not be located, but at last the
origin of the rumor was traced to W.
A. Dryden, a well known Shorthorn
breeder, who announced that "Sir
Henry Thornton" could be found at
the Arena, though it was extremely
unlikely that he would have anything
of importance to say.
Sure enough, "Sir Henry Thornton"
was found in ,,Stall 115 at the Arena.
He proved to be a two-year-old
Shorthorn bull raised by R. D. Henry,
of Thornton, Ont. who had beengiv-
en the names of his owner and birth-
place, and then "knighted" ih honor
of the railway president!

A PRIZE WINNING ESSAY ON
NOXIOUS WEEDS
The following exceedingly good es-
say on Noxious Weeds was written by
Miss Margaret Ross, of School Sec-
tion No. 1, Hullett, and is the essay
awarded the special prize donated by
Mr. A. D. Sutherland, at the Seaforth
Fall Fair this year: -
There are several different defini-
tions of a weed: "A plant out of
place," "Any injurious, troublesome
or unsighty plant that is ,at the same
time useless or comparatively so," "A
plant which interferes with the
growth of the crop to which the field
is devoted."
Weeds are injurious because they
absorb moisture from the soil and
lessen the supply of water for the
crop plants. The Mustard plant
pumps from the soil seven -tenths of
a pint per day. They shade, crowd
arid choke out the useful plants.
Weeds frequently grow more vigor-
ously than the crops and often stand
above the crops and keep the brigla
evince con iii the forewa elauprl
tries. They ere brought from 'field
to .field by various ways. Sme, weeds
are rolled along the ground bir the
*Ind. To this class belon) the Rus-
sian Thistle and the Tumbling' Weed
from the Northwest. These wee Seeds
are light and easy to carry by wind.
exainination of snow drifts hi
Dakota a few years ago showed the
presence of many weed seeds. Thirty-
two weeds of nine species were found
in two square feet of a drift. In the
same place it was observed that a
twenty-five mile wind carried wheat
seed distance of thirty rods a inint.
ute. Seeds which become sticky wheel
wet often adhere to leaves and go
wherever the leaves are carried by
the wind. This is true, however, of
the:Plantai. Some weeds are earned
by, water over 'a thousand miles. And

and Ragweed are often scatt.eted `in
this way. And they are often car-
ried by birds and other animals when
the seed clings' to the fur or feathers.
To this class belongs the Burrdock,
Hound's tongue, Bedstraw, Cockle,
and the seeds of many plants often
cling to the feet of birds and animels
with dirt. Men himself, however, has
most to do with the spread of trou-
blesome weeds, chiefly through rail-
road, implemnts,ifarm yard manure,
feedstuffs and the irhpure seed.
There are Annuals which germinate,
bloom, fruit and die on one year.
Wild Mustard is an example. Winter
Annuals, which germinate in summer,
pass the 'winter as seedlings, fruit,
die during the following summer, such
as Chess and Shepherd's Purse.
Biennials produce leaves and roots
the first year and ffowers and seeds
the second, after w'hich the plant
dies. The Wild Carrot and Evening
Primrose are examples.
Perennials, which last from year to
year blooming and seeding annually,
are divided 'into two classes: (1)
Those with underground creeping
stems, suoh as the Canadian Thistle;
(2) Those with roots which do not
spread underground, such as Chick-
ory, Plantain and Dock.
The following rules should be ob-
served in controlling weeds: Never
allow weeds to mature seeds, and cut
those on thetoadside, headlands, in
waste places and in the fence corners
as well as those in the field. Be con-
stantly on the watch for the appear-
ance of new weeds and always find
out what they are. It is a task to
get rid of a few plants of Perennial
Sew Thistle, but it is a long tedious
and costly work to clean a field which
has become overrun by it. In dealing
with perennial weeds, with creeping
underground roots, be careful not to
harrow or cultivate through patches
and drag roots all over the field. Avoid
feeding cattle upon chop containing
weed seeds in any quantity. Such
food should be 'boiled before being fed.
Be determined to get rid of weeds
and to keep the lana clear. Annuals
and Biennials as Wild Oats, Wild Mus-
tard seed and some other seeds, be-
longing to these classes The best
way to destroy annuals and 'biennials
is by thorough and frequent shallow
cultivation and hoed crops early after
harvest, in stubble ground and in sod,
that is potatoes, carrots, turnips,
rnangolds and Indian corn. By shal-
low cultivation seeds are kept near
the surface, and by frequent stirring
of the soil are made to sprout, and
having sprouted they can be killed by

Canada' Thistle, • Perennial Sow
Thistle, Couch Grass and Bindweed
can be destroyed by the follo-wing
method: Middle of ,1VIay gang plow
the land about three inches deep and
harrow thoroughly. In two weeks
the weeds are nicely up, cultivate
with a common spring tooth cultiva-
tor, provided with wide points thas
overlap, so as to cut off every plant
two or three inches below the surface -
Then harrow to pull up plant e and
leave them to die. The Bindweed
may need one or two extra cuttings
with the wide points and a corres-
ponding number of harrowings. Hoed
crops alone do not give eetire satis-
faction in creeping perennial weeds.
The Perennial Sow Thistle, 'as com-
pared with other methods which re-
quire a great deal more labor, time
and attention. This is the way to
destroy annual and winter annual
weeds such as False Flax, Corn Cockle
and Wormseed Mustard. Fields over-
come 'with some particular annuals
may be cleaned by seeding to grass
for hay or pasture. Cutting the hay
crop early will prevent most weeds
from maturing any quantity of seed.
Close pasture, especially with sheep,
will in time destroy most weds, even
Perennials. There are few weeds that
sheep will not eat. Sheep are a pro-
fitable means of keeping weeds under
control. The aim of this method is to
kill the weeds not giving them light
and air. The result is that the
smothered crop soon occupies every
available foot of land and forms the
dense shade in which the weeds, in
their weakened state, cannot continuo
to grow.
'By hand pulling small patches of
perennial weeds can be destroyed, by
digging out the plant with a fork,
and the patch should be watched and
if new shoots appear they should be
taken out of place at once. In an
ordinary season several diggings will
be required in order to completely
exterminate a creeping perennial.
