HALIFAX. Dec. 16. — A special ‘train of 12 cars was speeding west- lward in Canada tonight, clacklng ‘over frosted tracks, carrying 10.600

nlailb a overflowing with Christ-

mas w ea, to their respective des- tlnatioris.

An avalanche of letters-o.000.000 of them-from Merrie England and other overseas countries were landed on the Halifax quayalde Saturday with the customary care of His Ma- Jesty’s mailman. Given precedence over everything else, the big catch of letters and parcelswele lowered over the side of the Canadian Pac- ific Montrose lung before even the h“ - were allowed to leave the

r.

The special train left almost lin- mediately. It was the largest mail shipment ever to pass through any Canadian port, and was 2.000 mall- bags in excess of the previous record for Halifax.

Suitable Cereal Varieties To Grow In Combination

(Experimental Farms Note)

Growing what is commonly known as mixed grain has long been an established farm practice. With the exception of where grain isgrown for sale. it has certain advantages and ought to be en-

ouraged.

Suitable mixtures will usually give a slightly higher yield of food nutrients per acre and are a form of crop insurance in that certain seasons will favour one class of grain more than another, and where grains are seeded in combin- ation any given season will likely be suitable for at least one consti- tuent of the mixture.

Not only should high yielding varieties, be chosen. suitable for the locality in which they are grown, but they should be varieties which, will. ripen as nearly as pos- ~slble at the same time.

At the Dominion Experimental

Farm, Nappan. N. 5., it has been - found that as a rule. oats and bar- ley sown together will give a high- er yield than when wheat is added. although the wheat will add to the feeding value of the resulting crop and, being stiffer in the straw, may result in a little less ldglng.

The mixtures recomme d ’ are Banner oats. 2 bushels and Char- lottetown No. B0 barley. 1 bushel, or Banner oats, I 3-4 bushels, Char- lottetown No. B0 barley 3-4 bushel and Huron wheat, I-ll bushel- Vic- tory oats would be equally as sat- isfactory in the above mixtures an they ripen at the same time as the

Banner. that ripens

Should a mixture early required, Gold Rain oats. O.A.C. No. 21 barley and Garnet wheat may be used in the same proportions as given above. The Gold Rain oats are a little later than the barley and wheat, but not not enough to make any material difference.

WBITES NEW THEME INTO LATEST BOOK

fly The Canadian Press) NANAIMO. B. 0.. Dec. 16—-Aud- ray Alexandra Brown is a native daughter-of Canada whose image- ry is close to the classicism of ancient Greece; whose verse has been described as Keatslan though she knows little of England's Ad- onais and was brought illp on Scott, Longfellow and Tennyson.

The implicit element of paradox ll iflflldfllllnl. but serves to etch in sharper relief the fact, her flu- ent verse is not the product of any lens-frequented fountain. but a spring sharing in" its own right in the deep source of all poetry.

“Let me say in all modesty. I would rather be the first Audrey Brown than a second Shakespeare". is her way of declaring for indi- viduality in her work. She is not wedded to the marbles and groves of Greek legend. though some of her most delicate and decorative verse has been concerned with a restatement of classic drama.

Now. in a. later edition of "A dryad in Nanalmo" Miss Brown is including an Indian theme along with "Harold Infeiix", which de- scribes the last of the Saxons, and "The Mermaid."

“Even poetry would have little charm." she says. "if I were able to live an intensively active life of my own." For seven years she has been unable to walk. but her health is rapidly on the mend, and she looks forward to discarding her Wheélchalr for crutches. and hopes eventually to walk unaided.

Audrey Brown has never attend- ed school. What she knows of his- tory and legend. romance and verse she ieamed through her own ef- forts and the tutelage of her mother, who was a teacher in Fing- and.

Curiously enough, Miss Brown's work has been said to resemble that 0f two writers so widely different‘ in method and outlook as Johrll Keats nnd Henry Newbolt. she is rather amused at the idea slle seeks to emulate anyone. writes for her- self and is glad if others iii-c pleas-i

S01’s Radiance __ Boring Through I ' Pops Electrons

(Written for The Canadian Press By W. L. Dock) OTTAWA. Dec. l'l—Canadlan scientists went north to study magnetic disturbances, and found sunspots sniping at the earth and Northern Lights coming down to

bathe them in a sort of celestial champagne. e peculiar exhlleratiori of

walking into the weird wavering aurora is common in the Arctic. where sleep comes hard when the light ls low and strong. But the scientists didn't tippie in the rays enough to balk their research.

They made observations which may finally explain the cause of aurora borealls, reached the vii-- tual conclusion a sun-force battles and merges with atmospheric gas. and is guided magnetically earth- ward.
