Soil Lahasa ory Uait Field plc tests were conducted in 1956 on the 0'Leary. Cbaulottetnwn and Culioden soil series. to study the rcsponse of grain toatsl to can- hmations of dilerent amounts of nrrogen. phosphorous and potash.
The results show that yields of hath grain and straw can be in- creased significantly with each in- crease in the amount of nitmgren applied. The response to phosphor- nus and potash varied with each will and was not quite so conclu- sive as for nitrogen.
The average increases in yield of oats resulting from the various applications of fertilizer were. 80 -5 per cent on the 0'Leary soil, ll7.8 per cent on the Charlotte- own soil and 63.8 per cent on the ('ulloden series. These increases ucre obtained. on each soil, on land that had been cropped to po- tatoes In I955 and had received liheral applications of fertilizer.
The apparently lower response on the 0'Leary soil can. in a large measure. be explained by the fact that severe lodging occurred on all nlnis while the grain was in the .-heath stage. in eensequenc . the grain did not fill out as well as on tho other two soilsf '

Carrying the investigation a step further. Lethhridge and Charlotte town, for the i056 hatch. will en- deavour to determine the economic value of strain crossing as I means of increasing production.
Six strains. crossed in all pos- sible ways (36 in all) are being tested. the results from .which will not be available until the autumn of 1957. .
Breed crossing has. in some in- htancss. pi fuced rather excellent results. and it is felt. perhaps. the crossing of strains within a pure breed may prove equally satis- factory and. at the same time. maintain breed identity - some- thing.quite impossible when two breeds are crosssed.
At mid-December. production stood at 88 per cent. This repre- sents an all time high for the Farm.
Full Feeding and Restricted Feeding Compared - This season half the Station flock was reared on a system of full-feeding and the remaining half on a feed consump- tion restricted to 70 per cent of the intake of the full-fed birds.

The Guilty Gilt
By Martha 3. Thomas Sam Lincoln walked slowly
owindows. An icy wind caught him at the corners but he hurried across to the next curb intent on his mental shopping.
He was thinking hard of Cora. too. Though not a word had been spoken between them on the sub- ject. it was qulte,understood that he should buy her warm gloves. a warm sweater and stockings forl Christmas. He'd saved ' a fair amount for this very purpose- When you gave up your city living for the country. you thought in terms of wool. Cora needed all these things. Her gloves were worn down in thin spots. Her sweater had becn mended a good many times and her stockings - well. Cora just laughed about them. Cora would. She had made fun of every hard thing about changing their home. from the dreadful wheezy pump in the kitchen. to the way the floors slanted in the bed- rooms, so that no pencil would stay on a table. and books con- tinually slid off on the floor. Cora was a thoroughbred and a good sport.
Sam looked at a green - .
of the shop with the light bundle under his arm. and slunk by win- dows filled with warm woolen clothes - . . the kind Cora so sore- ly needed.
All the way home on the train his heart sank lower and lower. He felt so chilled and miserable at the thought of his weak behavior, that Cora rushed at him as he opened the door.. exclaiming. "My dear. what dreadful thing has hap- pened to you?"
They had an excellent if frugal dinner. Cora chatted happily of this and that. looking unusually pretty and gay. Sam tried to meet her laughter. but actually shivered along his spine. idiot! Fool! Wretched unspeakable lunatic that he was! Would a yellow-and-black Chinese ltimono keep Cora warm? it would not.
Justice demanded that he con- fess. Cora would be kind. and that would hurt more than anything. Cora would be kind . . . and keep right on feeling cold on the crisp mornings after Christmas. But he must do it . . . muddle through it somehow.
After dinner he came close ttysplendent in the yellow-and-black Cora muttering something about a kimono. "This is simply the most Im. Ind how dlfned Sorry he wonderful thing you ever did for
was . - . and please. please not to
look at him so sweetly
Cora unwrappcd the hundle..Sam waited. The lovely shining thing fell to the floor with the lights gleaming on it.
"0ll...oh...lIneve1-in all my life saw anything so magnj. ficent! For me Surely. surely not for me. Sam But how i'd adore it! I'm sure I wouldn't mind anything if I knew such a gorgeous garment were hanging in my clos et. But of course you're teasing me . . . "
"No." said Sam heavily. "It's your Christmas present. I feel like a cad. I know you need the warm things - . . don't be so darned sweet about it!” he commanded crossly.
Cora flung on the robe, and threw her arms around Sam's neck. "I don't know why you're acting this silly way . . . but if you're so dead set on warm things
. . a whole box came this afternoon from Uncle Horace."
Sam sank weakly into a chair. "You're so lovely I want to lug; you very hard."
"Why not" inquired Cora. re-
me."
That would be becoming to Cora's light curls. Or that cheerful red one. Nice on snowy winter morn- ings. The very chickadeea would sing with pleasure at sight of her in that sweate. He took a few steps toward the shop door when his eye fell on a black-and-yellow silk kimono.
Of course he would not get it: just inquire the price so that he might look at it.
The moment Sam touched a reverent hand to the exquisite allkl he was lost. Thrifty. hard-work- lng Sam! How could he have done such a thing? And so calmly. too. i "Please wrap it up." he had said. The price had been reduced in or- dcr to sell quickly. He walked out
