The more scientific fields of agriculture develop our fertiliz- varieties. The plant pathologist is concerned with plant diseases and their control. The chemist deals with soils, agricultura’ chemicals nutrition and such fields. Bacter- iology deals with, as the name and the inoculation of our le- gumes, prevention of disease and the. puvity of our products, come under his work. Entomology is the science covering insects and could not have heen developed without an entomologist.
The above mentioned fields are devoted mainly to research in making available to agriculture the best possible information dealing with new and better soil treatments, sprays or whatever

government and private concerns. DIVERSIFICATION, . To take another approach to careers in agriculture, the mod- ern farmer of today will come in contact, either directly or in- directly, with the following fields.

SPRIN« HELL, N.S. (CP) — A minor “Sump” or underground tremor occurred in No. 2 colliery here about an hour before the dis- astrous cave-in last Oct. 23 that claimed 7% lives. — :
Mining engineer Louis Frost told. the -MacInnes commission Tuesday that ~the mine office
Steve Dalhanty, district vice- president of United Mine Workers (Indg, brought up the question of the earlier disturbance.
Commission chairman Donald MacInnes asked what the com- pany normally did after a bump. Mr. Frost, chief mining engineer for Dominion Steel and Coal Cor- poration, said that after a ser-! ious oné the mine stayed idle for’ 24 hours. .
UMW THEORY
Mr. Dolhanty, ‘speaking at the inquiry into last fall's disaster here, voiced the theory that speeding up work in one section of the mine may have contrib- uted to the cave-in that trapped 174 men underground.
He recalled that a -bump oc-| eurred March 16 when one work- ing section—the 13,800-foot wall- was trailing two adjoining walls by 235 feet. Coal-digging had been speeded up on the slow wall to bring it in line with the other two
Mr. Frost discounted the UMW officer's theory. He said it was “a well-established fact that the proper_thing to do was to carry the walls approximately in line,” Bumps, underground upheavals and tremors, have long been a characteristic of coal mines here. Their ultimate cause is believed to be shifting of stresses built up the course of mining at great
depth.
Minor ‘Bump’ Was Noted — One HourBefore Diseaster
varying m__:itude were recorded in No,.2 mine from 1917, when records were begun, to last Oct. 23. Twenty-three miners had ‘een killed in the more serious ones.
Mr.. Dothanty referred to test- imony of W.-F. Campbell, re- tired mine superintendent _ here, who said. Monday that in his opin- ion working walls should be brought into line slowly. .
Dr;: J.-E, Blanchard of the Nova Scotia Research Foundation said a seismograph station set up near the mine recorded “‘seven or eight minor bumps” on Jan. 1,
