period first. As with most other of the great’ vegetable groups, it is extremely

difficult to trace the descent of

pefjg the varieties. Darwin, as has just

been stated, traced all the cabbag- 95 to B. oleracea; while the tirrn- ips and ruiabagao appear to come from a weed called B. campesirxis. In 19126, while making a plant 5111'- vey of the Province, Prof. Groh found B. campestrfs growing hero, and listed it. as Wild TlllTilp or wuu Navcw.

An experiment at the new York Agricultural Station in i884, show- ed how uunsettled these varieties are. and how difficult to state their pedigree. Two plants 0f Kohn-rabi were grown in pots in the greenhouse. and one remained true to the type; the other plant. ed. out in the Spring, extended itss-lfinto a. long stalk with a flat top like a Marrow cabbage! Some botanists, says Sturtevnnt, believe this plant to be a. hybrid between cabbage and rape.

Allotments, etc.

All who take an interest in the welfare of our Province, mustre- Joice at the success of the "public" or allotment gardens for the un- employed. One hears that there are over‘ 900 unemployed in the City and it Ls a. sud fact. that afttgr

were several factories iwhlch ab- sorbed the Aiountlunuei" crafts- men), but the houses cost I00

much, and there were not. jobs e-

nough for the occupants; in a wood the scheme proved unproc- ticrtl. “’I'lie disease of Govern-

ment," said a Quaker “is that it can never do aiwthlng modestly." In Canada perhaps the word is "resolutely", when legislation of this kind ls under consideration. The Quakers went to work dif- ferently. The _vear before a move was made, two wcll-to-do members of the Society, one a. minister, went to live among the miners, making their abode near an aban- doned mine. Thev were looked upon with suspicion, but they won the love of the children by organ- izing all kinds of groups for the youngsters. Soon the pﬂFGllLS de- cided that “anyone the children liked so well must be all right". Then one of the Quakers spreadj Word that he was going to plough some waste land for a. garden, and would any of his neighbors like to

join him? A year's work with the miners put all on a friendly‘. footing and the shrewd Quakers

knew well which families to select for their homestcads. "The pro- ject was not planned somewhere for away from the people it was intended tn serve."

The Committee theh secured 200 acres of land on which they pro- posed to settle 50 families. The homesteariers are expected tofind work in the mines when possible

this column has carried an account of the Nun's Moor Allotments at Newcastle, and although not di- rectlv urged. the account was in- tended to stimulate a. like enter- prise here. This was of little a.- vail, and not until a public-spirit- ed citizen took up the work did the allotments materialize. As 1 once pointed out. the first year of such projects never gives the good results that subsequent years bring. For one thing the ground is not. as the gardeners say, “in heart," and the growers. too, have manv things to learn. But anyway. both the promoters and the gard- eners have our best. wishes for the coming year.

Mr. Hemmingls idea of getting the men “back to the land" is s. sound one. "It would not be a financial success" was one of the arguments mod against it: but to allow matters to drift is not likely to be financinllv successfully either-not to mention the danger in other directions. An old writer tells us that Satan finds some mis- chief stili for idle hands to do; and as a general observation it still holds good. tmemployment is a fertile nidus for all the "isms" that afflict the world.

By a bit of a coincidence f have lately rend the storv of the Quak- ers in the United States. ‘This de- nomination, which is konwn a.- momr themselves as the Society of Friends. is not large in point of numlbers, and tzhe total changes lit-tie from year to vear; but their influence is great, and they are often wealthy.

in poultry houses-another thrifty Quaker idea. The homestendcr "spends his spare time building his pcnnanent abode, which he could not do if he lived at a dis- tance." If the Quakers can do this wlbhout invoking a dollar's worth of charity in the deal, they are setting a pretty good example to other distressed communities. I

Odds and Ends

The Black Death. Recently some account. of this pestilence was given. ‘and a tradition was lliltlfﬂiil with reference to the name, In Dr. Thurman's new "Textbook of Bacteriology," (1938), there is the best account of the pestilence I have srcn. Tradition says the bodies of the victims turned black; and tradition in this case is right. Hemnrrhagos took place Just under the skin and caused the discolora- tion. (The text book is a m"st vaduabitucontribution to a fascin- ating study.)

The long awaited detail.- of iihe Jlonztdlan-Amrrican and Britidh- American trade par-ts have been ‘re- leased and are being studied close- ly on both sides of the Atlantic.

To us fur farmers the interesting port is of course how thsnewduty will affect silver foxes. There his been a reduction of 26 per oentl of the previous duty which was 50 per cent. That will therefore mean a net change of 12 1-2 per cent, so that the new duty on silver fox furs will be 87 1-2 instead of the 50 oer oent ii; has been since 1920. To put the mat- (er more clearly we will take for

example a. pelt which is sold for $50. in Canada to an American“ buyer. The duty which he will have to pay on that pelt would be $18.76 instead of $26, under the former tariff. On a $40. pelt the duty would be $10. instead of $10. un- der the former tariff

We have been asked for an ex- of opinion by several part- a as to how the lower duty will affect the silver fox farmers Canada and particularly of this Province. There is no question but that it will be of considerable benefit to those who have high grade full and three-quarter sil- ver fox pelts to offer, also those who have full or three-quarter sil- vers in the $50. to $00. brackets. American buyers will be active in Canada for that class of pelt. We do not, believe that it will stimu- late tzhe sale of lower wﬁrice silvers very much or that it l have any appreciable effect on the darker phases between light mediums and dark mediums, as the American apatite for silver foxes does not tend in the direction of the darker phases.

Fears that the American markets will be flooded with Canadian pelts as a. result of any lowering of the tariff in that. country are absurd, as better prices are obtainable in mudon for classifications of silver fox pelts ranging from dark silvers and mediums thanthctliited Stat- es fur former secures in the Unit- ed Stat/es.

By the way, mink, marten, fish- er. emu fbx, white fox, red fox and other row Canadian furs will

The evident ooqaeration of dil- ferent. institutions to help further the cause of the fox ranchers is worthy of note. Here were w be scren John C.

GDNDITIUNING TllE BREEDERS

Fox ranchers having picked out the animals from which they will build up their stock for next season, have nothing more important to do now but study how to make the best possible profit out. of them. Because if profits are going to be made eventually you must start with the breeding stock before thekiis come

into the picture at all.

“Breed right and feed right” is the motto for the fox

rancher.

Feed the Rosa-Miller way — Vita-Crumbla
