necessarily an indication of age.

Influence on hatchability—Pre- liminary research work has shown little or no relationship between hatchalbility and shell mottling, in spite of what some people have said.

Time of appearance—Eggs are not mottled when they are laid, but mottling‘ may appear Willhi.’ the first half hour after they ,- laid. A large percentage of she mottling appears the same da eggs are laid. The condition u: ually increases with holding time, but may occasionally even de- crease. lien and strain differences — Cornell University workers ob- serve wide differences among in— dividual hens in the incidence and amount of shell mottling.

In a study of20 strains of white- egg layers in the Central New York Random Sample Test,

strains were also noted. Shellsof eggs from some strains showed very little mottling, while those of others became severly mot- tled under the same holding con. ditions. - v

Seasonal changes-amen are seasonal changes in the incid- ence of shell mottling. Under the conditions of the Cornell study it was noted that shell mottliug February 'to July.-

Condusion—No practical ‘way is now known. to reduce or elimin- ate egg shell ‘mottling. Selection could be practiced. But since breeding programs are already complex, this would seem feas- ible only where an extreme pro- blem ‘exists with an individual strain. It arpears that there'is lit- tle or no reason for downgrading eggs with mottled shell because mottling is not related to either shell thickness, shell porosity or interior quality. . TRANSPLANTING PEONIES

Once established the showy, po- pular peony doesn’tilike to be disturbed. Division and transplan- ting «may take place, however, when the plant becomes too crowded or when new stock is wanted. For new stock never di- vide-a plant under 3 years. Plants 10 years and over respond more favourably.

Choose a sunny, well-drained lo- catibn for the new plants, pro- tected from wind but not too close to tree or shrub roots and prepare the soil for the years a- head. Cultiyarte it to a depth of c or 1 foot using good loam mix-. ed with 20 percent well-rotted manure. IIf the manure is not well— rotted keep it away from contact with the roots.

Early in September carefully down at a distance of 15-18 ” on either side of the old plant so that roots won’t be bruished or injured. Lift the clump shake thoroughly and place in. the sun for 2-3 hours. Roots then loose their brittleness and will be eas- ier to separate. Using a sharp knife cut into pieces at weakest points. Each piece should have a least 4 strong pink shoots. Re- move and discard all hollow or damaged spots anc cut foliage back to 2”.

When planting, the crown of the p \ny should be 2” from the sur- face. Too shallow planting may result in winter kill; too deep planting may retard blooming for another year. So that settling. ‘ on’t take place, firm earth a— round roots. ‘ CLUB NEWS

Grain Ex— .

By DAVE OANCIA Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) — A Cana- . dian coal expert says coalsburn- ' ing thermal electric stations may provide an attractive market for the ailing coal industry.

In a paper to the world power - conference, C. L. O’Brian, as- sistant to the chairman of the Dominion .Coal Board, said a trend is developing which should balance coal losses in railway and household markets.

Mr. O‘Brian said there has been a tremendous growth in the demand for fuel energy in Can- ads, with petroleum meeting the greatest increase in require— ments. Across the country, coal had lost out to oil for locomotive use and to both gas and oil for household heating, while it had ,held its own for industrial use.

He described coalaburning elec- tric stations as the most striking economic trend in the coal pic- ture. '

‘ GET DOZEN PAPERS

The Canadian paper was one of a dozen from nine different coun- tries and four continents forming the basis for discussion by the 1,000 delegates on the use of coal

energy. The papers, highly di- versified in character, dealt with the economics of the solid fuel situation.

Some of them covered primar— ily the extent and character of fuel resources in the region con- cerned and others the various fields of specialization.

Generally, the papers viewed the extent of the possible contri- bution of nuclear fission to the solution of the energy problem as being essentially in the post-ex- perimental stage of development. COAL FUTURE SOLID

E. A. Allcut, professor emeritus of mechanical engineering of the University of Toronto, said this implies that fossilized fuels, prin- cipally coal and oil, will be the main standby for years to come. As these are not replaceable they will inevitably become scarcer and more expensive.

Professor Allcut, who prepared a general report on the dozen papers added that the growing tendency to substitute oil and gas for coal in applications such as heating and railway work must necessarily increase their rate of exhaustion and speed up the ulti- 1 ate transfer of demand back to

But Foundation’s marine divis- ion, the only deep-sea salvage company on Canada’s East Coast, :eldom loses a battle with the ele- cents in saving a foundering 'iip. Now in its 30th year, Found- ation has saved about 500 ships 'rom Atlantic graves. ’llhcy total- ed about 2,800,000 tons.

The Foundation Company of Canada subsidiary enters a “no cure—no pay” agreement when it answersr-a ship’s distress signal, and the normal contract calls for safe delivery of the ship to port. Failure means no payment.

‘It's all a gamble", admits President and General Manage A. G. Sullivan. ‘ JULY SAW BIG RISK

Foundation’s biggest risk came ,in July when the company res- ;cued the grounded 29,500—ton ore- carrier Cosmic. Marine Super- intendent C a p t a i n Reginald Featherstone, a Royal Navy- trained salvage expert, ordered $2,225,000 worth of equipment and 100 men into the job, the com- pany’s only job so far this year.

The Mosmic, biggest ship ever to ground on Canada’s Atlantic seaboard, was stuck and ripped

Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. For 11 days, two huge Foundation cranes scooped and dumped 14,000 tons of ore from the Cosmic to lighten her.

The ship’s hollow sides were pumped full of compressed air, and a flotilla of tugs, headed by the powerful Foundation Vigilant and Foundation Josephine II, pulled her .free.

As the Cosmic slithered off the rock gale winds threw, one of Foundation’s cranes against the side of the huge carrier. ‘If the Cosmic rad sunk then and there," Capt. Featherstone said, “we’d have been out of luck."

The contract is drawn up by Lloyds of London, whose arbiters determine the amount to go to the salvager. Mr. Sullivan said the company’s efforts and the amount of equipment it used are considered when the reward is decided. The salvage award for

Company President F. G. Rut- ley of Montreal says competition from other operators, hazards of sea and weather, and the long period between completion of the job and collection of the award are among salvage companies’ major headaches.

GENEVA (AP)—An American official Tuesday urged an imme- diate start on developing a world system of controls over materials that can be used to make atomic bombs.

EMOTIONALLY UPSET

A study group of the United Nations World Health Organiza- tion r e p o rt e d meanwhile that most people are afraid and emo— tionally upset over even peaceful uses of atomic energy.

Explaining the fear, the report said “radiation is invisible, un- her. '. unsmelt, untested and un- felt, apparently infinitely power- ful, yet springs from an almost infinitely small source.”

This anxiety had people around the world suffering varying de- grees of emotional or mental ill- ness. Many people “now have a feeling that Pandora’s box has been opened, and that anything could happen now.“

The best hope for improved mental health in the atomic age lies in training children, at home and school, to live realistically in a world of rapid change, insecur- ities and uncertainties, the report recommended.

ANOTHER JAUNT

Williams said in Torbay he would try for a non-stop New York to Rome trip in a few days. He was advised to turn back Wed- nesday night because of cold weather.

In Ottawa the federal transport department said Williams would have to post a $10000 bond, pre sumably for rescue ope-rations, before attempting any Atlantic flight from Newfoundland.
