llliicrinients to determine the amount of soil erosion where var- ious cross In Planted will be car- ried out at the Upton Ea, iment. ll hm. commencing next qiring, it was learned yesterday from Mr. R. C. Parent. Buperintaident of the Experimental station.

A ihld with a uniform slope be. hind the old Dr. Jenkins residence- has been selected for the experi- ments. Thil field will be divide,-g into plots and at the bottom of each plot will be a lysimcter which will determine the amount of soil and the amount of water that has run off.

It is expected that three plots will be used in cxpcrtnente next year. one plot will be fined with turnips. the drills running stritight up and down the hill. Another plot will have turnips with drills run- ning along the side of the hill and the third will bc a. grass plot.

Each plot will probably be around 5 feet wide. At the bot- hom of each will be placed a wet.- er trough from which a pipe will run into a tank. After each rain- fall the amoimt of water and soil that runs into tho tank will be measured.

Soil fertility experiments were commenced on a snail scale at the Upton Farm this year with experi- ments being made on four small plots. This work will be greatly ex- panded next year under the super- vision of Mr. Graeme Boswell who already has 30 plots marked off for soil trials.

Mr. Boswell has been experi- menting with potatoes and their growth under different applicat- ions of manure and fertilizer one plot. without the benefit of either appeared very weak in comparison to the next plot on which a partial application of both these sub- stances had been used.

Potato Experiments

Again this year very extensive potato experiments are being car- ried out at the Upton Farm under the supervision of Mr. Gordon Warren. I-Iorticulturalist.

seventy-five named varieties and a large number of unnamed var- ieties are being used in experi- ments. with Mountains, aebagoes and Katahdins being the three main varieties. Every second row in the plots under experiment was of the Mountain variety with sets from cach seedling being grown in four different parts of the field.

One of the main es in those experiments is to find blight resistant potatoes. A number of varictdes have proven to be blight resistant but some have shown poor stocks or other defects that does not warrant their growth on a large scale. Several varieties have pr-ovals their all around satisfact- ioai and seed of one unnamed vai- iety may be made available to farmers nlxt year.

Complcto records of the potatoes from the time of their planting to the cooking are kept by the offic- ials. The also of the sat and the diJ between the sets are care- fully noted with the sets being planted from eight to twelve inches

apart

Records of the growing habits are kept. and of the potato: re- sistance to leaf roll and mo.-lac as well as blight. The yields, ahalpe. sire and cooking qualities are also noted.

While iiaere its been quite a collection of Dahlia: at the Sh-tion for the put number of years. it has not been until recently that an effort was made to build up the patch. This year about 00 new varieties have been added and last hat 3 varieties were imported.

The Dahlia: are planted in rows with each one being planted two and a half feet apart. Mr. Warren trys to grow a plant to one stern. "In that way you get fewer blooms." be stated. "but larger sizes and better quality."

Included in the patch are the formal and informal Decors-tlves. semi and straight. Cactus and show or ball type Dahliss and Pom-Posts. The miniature type re- semble the larger flowers but do not exceed four inches in diamet-

Standing out among the flowers are. the sulphur-yellow colored Avengers. the Windemere with their yellow suffused orange col- ors, the white streaked and red speckled Wyandottes, the amber and gold Sagsrnor-e, the rich red colored Elite Glory. the violet col- ored Blue Horizon and the wine purple colored Burgundy. to men- tion only a few.

Mr. Warren discards the Dah- lias each year on a quality basis. Every year a few are lost through disease and a number fail to sur- vive during the winter.

"I look for health and vigor in the plant and strong stems," he stated. ”'illiey must have good flcwctnling habits as well as dis- tinctive and interesting colors and

Many of the bulbs are brought from Australia but a n-umber come from Holland and some are imported from other parts of Canada. After receiving the bulbs in the early spring they are stored in a moderately cool,dry cellar in sand and in May are put in a for- cing frame, also in sand.

Here the tubers sprout and are takeiri from the sand and divided. The divisions are made so. that one eye and part of the original tuber are always in the, Pill!- plan-ted.

Teacher lieiums from Pilgdmage

mas Margaret Butler. teacher at Queen Square school, Ohsriottc- town, returned early this week from a Holy Year pilgrimage to mine. sponsored by the Oansd. ian Federation of Newman Clubs.

3 representatives from various sections of Canada were in the D11!-Yimllb which sailed from Qua- bcc on July lath. En route to Rome. Miss Butler spent several days in Paris. and also visited the shrine of the Little Flower at Liricux. Two days were spent in Lourdes visiting the Miraculous Grotto. the Gothic Basilica and the new Church of the Rosary which con- tains fifteen chapels.

After some time spent in Nice. the pilsriuuge proceeded to Italy While in Rome. Miss Butler was one of the members of the New- man pilgrimage who were privileg- ed to have a private audience with His Holiness Pope Pius XII at his summer residence, castle Gandolfo. The group also attended the public audience in St. Peter's Bullies.

After leaving Rome Miss Butler visited Assisi and other points of interest before proceeding to Flor- ence. the art capital of Italy. The tour continued to Bologna arai Padua where the Basilica contain- ing Bt. Anthony's remains is located. After a few days inithe unique city of Venice, she went on to Verona. Milan and stressa.

From Italy the party went by way of Simplcn Pass into Switzer- land, and after touring that country returned to France. They then crossed the channel to Eng- land and proceeded to London While in London. Miss Butler saw many places of historic interest including at. Paul's Cathedral. Tower of London. ..estminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament. Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square.

A day was spent visiting Oxford University. Warwick Castle. and Stratford-on-Avon. the birthplace of Shakespeare. The group also visited Windsor Castle, Eton Col- lege and Hampton Court Palace. The tour was continued to Dub- lin and Cork where the party vis- ited Biarney Castle before proceed- ing to Coibh where the ship was boarded for the return trip to New York.

The entire tour on the Continent was made by chartered bus. and Miss Butler states that they eat- perienced quite a thrill travelling through the Alps into Switzerland. At one time the bus had to be measured and it. was found that only one inch of space was cleared on each side between the bus and the towering cliffs. Another time all luggage had to be taken off the top of the bus and loaded again after a low tunnel was traversed.

Played Hunch To Win Car

A lucky hunch that took him away from work resulted in Mr- Willlsm Stewart. Prince Street. winning the Knights of Columbia! lotteried car on Thursday night.

A carpenter with the Canadian Dredge and Duck Comliihy. Mr- Stewart got the lucky feeling about nine o'clock Thursday morn- in. left work immediately and bought a book of tickets from the agent. Mr. Fred Gaudat.

Of course that was not the first book of tickets he boiliht on the car as he had previously bought four books or twenty tickets but it was a ticket from the "hunch" book that won the car.

Mr. Stewart was out driving in the new Meteor last night. But he does not take it to work. says there is too' much dust and dirt these days around the Railway Wharf. :::::..:-?-
