The flight of the Deputy Fuellrer gudoiz l-iess, from Germany to 5601mm, is a remarkable tribute to uie charcater of the British people. ‘fhere are very few instances n modern history where any in- dividual L35 thrown himself so mmplelcly on the clemency of his unwed gngmy; and the need to do ,0 must have been very great be- fore he pursued such a DGTIlUUS

They became associates and six years later they were imprisoned together in the laridsberg Fortress. after the fall- m or lveir attempted coup. It was during this imprisonment that Hitler wrote “Meln Kampf."

When at last Hitler attained to power, hc chose Hess as his first boiivcuard; then he was advanced to the post oi door-keeper. and lfiiél‘ to that oi private secretary to ire Fuehrer "because of his dog- liile devotion" says our author.

"Hess int best only a mimic, not a. real lerder" is the inference drawn here. Nevertheless "he is nniv base when ordered to be so by Hitler. ior in himself Hess is one oi we few in- born decent personalities of the party, merely induced to infamous actons by bad company."

All lilies tend to multiply, some more than others: the Offsets like three to five years to flower. A novel method of increasing lillea is to break off a few scales from the buiba and to plant them in well drained boxes of sandy swl. The points of the scales sho lid just im- pear at the surface. Small bulbs will form at the base of the scales, and will flower in 3 or i years time.

Botanically close to the longi- ilorums is the Madonna Lily, the Common white Lily of English gar- dens and specifically Lllium Candl- alum. It is quite hardy here and would probably be a greater favor- ite in our gardens than the Reslll Lily-if ii were not so tempcrlllllflll- tall When first plant-ed (in early September or even in August) it takes hold as if it mcirit to stay- and the next June or July it W1" - flower magnificently.

"No letter is more abused than the vowel O." says the paragraph. "We have space to mention only

Short O as in frog, is right (cor- rect) in product (prod-uct), prop- aganda, prosecute, prospect." “And what about data? This is da-ta. with (the first) a as in day; not dat-a, with the a in fat." The resent writer is glad to see that tia farm paper has called attention to these words, which are almost universally mispronouncecl on this side of the Atlantic; but he does not look for any immediate improvement. 1t is much easier when one is in a rut to follow along. rather than to climb out.

Weekly Live Stock Market Report

SUMMARY OTTAWA May 15 l9-i1.-—Con- tinued orderly and moderate

cattle marketings resulted in a firm to higher market during the past week, notably in the west. Export demand, however, was still light and heavy steers as a result were again the poorest sellers. Only ino- derate quantities of these are re- qulred at. the monlent. A feature of the cattle situation this week was

,the strong demand for stacker

cattle at firm prices. A good export enquiry brought about firmer sel- ling prices for calves. while hogs moved up a further l5 cents to 25 cents and lambs 50 cents at Tor- onto. Eastern Cattle Marketa

At TORONTO, heavy steers con- tinued to move slowly but. a. liberal supply of other classes were easily cleared. ’1‘op weighty steers were lower at $8.85, while butcher steers and heifers were active at $7.50 to $8.75. Stockers continued atron at $7 to $8.25 and good feeders sol up to $8.65. MONTREAL had some good steers at $8.75 to $9 and coils were in good demand with tops at $6.75 to $7. Prices remained steady to strong in the MARITIMES with good choice steers quoted at 88.25 to $9.25.

Western Cattle Markets

, to $8.60 0f This market

All killing classes at WINNIPEG, apart from weighty steers, worked about 25 cents higher and. as well, suitable stocker cattle were in strong demand at firm prices. Con- tinued moderate runs, however, will be necessary if the market is to hold to present levels. A few well finished heavy steers topped at $8.75 and suitable handyweight butchers were well cleared at $8 to $8.75 with tops at $9- Good light stocker steers rated $7 to $7.50. At CALGARY, top light steers were steady but heavier. 25 cents down. Good to choice light medium butchers brought $7.75 to $8.50. EDMONTON had a practical top on light steers of $8.25, with an odd $8.50 on an active market. Ofrer western markets were active and generally stronger on light offer- ings and tops at PRINCE ALBERT MOOSE JAW. SASKATOON and REGINA reached $8.

United Statcl Market.

Buffalo sold Canadian steers be- tween $9.75 and $10.50, equivalent to $9.10 at Toronto.- wlis lower while Toronto held steady, leaving no ad- vantage to shippers across the bor- der. Holdovers at Buffalo were fair- ly heavy. Latest quotations from St. Paul on medium to good Can- adian bulls were $7 to $8.25 and gogcl to choice veal calves $10 to $1‘.

Exports across the line during the past week ivere 1.241 beef cattle, 341 dairy, 1,070 calves and 505 hogs. Shipmentsto date this year, with correspond ng figures for 1940 in brackets, were: beef cattle 37.227 (46,251); dairy 5.363 (3.418); calves 19.390 (22,063) and hogs 12.523 (nil). Exports of beef cattle under the second quarterly quota from April lst to May 15th totalled l4. 344 (26,896)

Calf Market. l-‘irmer

A good enquiry on export account enabled sellers to obtain smongcr prices for calves. Toronto was on a basis of $10.50 to $11.50 for choice veals on an active market and, vii lie Montreal opened a. little low- er, prices advanced 25 cents or more after Monday and gfJCd veals WBYB $9 to $9.50. with several top Sales .110 to $10, and a heavy offer- ing was handled llnder active trad- ins. Winnipeg was also i rmer with good to choice veals at $9 to $10. TOD Sales at Calgary alld Saska- toon were at $10, Edmonton $9.50,

The experience of the PRSl 19W years conclusively demonstrates that under a program of sound manage- ment. the United States. Canada. and Mexico can continue to eniily reasonable sport wit-h migratory game birds and at the same tone perpetuate them. The rehab lltat.on lof the ducks and aeese while by no means complete. has progressed so far that the success already at- tained ahouid stand for all time as a. monument to practical conserva- tion. Some of the highly ortifcial methods of shooting. which fcwner- 1v resulted in large klls by a limit- ed few, ptobably must continue to be prohibited. but this action will have the desirable. result of spread- ina shooting prlvilezcs more equit- ably among the whcle hunt'ng irat-

The Bioloadcal Survey has con- tinued lts investigations of the ml- irrotory waterfowl on the lreedizlg and wintering grounds and else- where during miizravon. and in consequence believes that it possess- ea more adequate and complete in- formation cri the subject than l8 available to any other agency.

Fowler reports on the status of these game birds have dealt chiefly with ducks and lzeesc. In this report these groups continue to form the malo-i- subject of decliasion. but data are included on the status of other mlgzatory species cm which open seasons are provided.

The preceding report issued by the Biological Survey om this subject (Wildlife Research and Manage- ment. Leaflet BS-136) concluded the account of investigations with the inventory of January 1939. The gross figures obtained fir-om this operation indicated that the con- tinental populatlon of waterfowl had increased about 14 percent. ove: that of January 1936. Whiie the rate of‘ increase showed a. tendency to decline the situation was considered satisfactory.

The general accuracy of the in- ventmv figures was substantiated by Pfipoifs covering the spring mi- gration frcm the corps of volunteer observers. The number of these re- ports recc‘ved was 298, and fr; "waterfowl in general" 57 reported n0 011M189. 31 noted a further dc- crease. while 210 showed an in- crease.

Luther J. Goldman. the bioiOfl-St of the Pacific Flyway. left his head- quarters early in April and poceed- ed to Alaska. This territorial pCsSeS- ion of the United States has never been acwrdcd its rlghtlul import- ance among the waterfowl breed- ing grounds of the continent. Never- theless, 1t appear; that were it. not for Alaska there would be little shooting of ducks and geese for sport anywhere in the Pacific Fly- way. This is deliriimly indicated by the recovery records of pintails and wrgeons (the chief species of game ducks on the Pacific coast) that have been bazlded at. stations in California. It is true that scone ducks from the central and north- ern ilest-ing gnunds of Canada cross the mountains and fly southward along the coast, but the number of these la but a fraction of the Pacific coast birds th-rt summer in Alaska.
