OUR WINTER EVENINGS

As Autumn merges into Winter the perennial question arises, what are _we to do with our long whiter even- ings? Already arrangements are being made for the formation of the usual study classes. lecture courses. debating clubs, amateur theatricals, musical organizations, etc, and it is gratifying to note that this movement is not confined to the urban centres. Many oi our rural districts are also making preparation along similar lines, and there is evey reason to be- licve that during the coming winter the number of mutual improvement organizations will exceed that of for- mer winters.

While such organizations as those mentioned are helpful, and in scene cases lndispensibl. it will be found in the last analysis that the greatest benefit to be obtained from the Judi- clous use oi our winter evenings, will depend upon individual eflort. His- tory abounds with the names of men and women in all ages and in all civ- ilized countries who have laid the foundations of brilliant and useful careers by study in their spare hours. Some of the world's greatest scient- ists began and continued their stud- ies during the long winter evenings after their bread-earning hours of duty, and the road to such fame and success as they have achieved is open to‘ every one who chooses to pursue it. The ability to read, even in an

sound-proof. Just what all this means in this age of cold storage plants, refrigerators and apartment-houses. can be left to the reader.

The Regina venture is the result oi much research in both Canada and the United States. In this coun- try the economic ‘ , ‘tion of cereal straws has long occupied the atten- tion of the government, the Canadian Pacific railway, the National Re- search Councll, industrial develop- men boards, boards oi trade, and other public bodies. Many thousands of dollars have been spent in experi- ments, with the happy result that tie utilization oi western Canada's straw crop is now a. possibility.

Careful tests have proved that for every ton of wheat grown there are produced two tons of straw. Some of that straw, to be sure is used by 0111' farmers as roughage for feeding live- stock, but most is put to tho torch,

Burn straw in the open air and the result will be‘40 pounds oi ash per ton. Submit that same straw to e modern chemist andhe will produce chemicals valued "at over $250 per ton. Which means that $2,500,000,000 is being lost in fire and smoke every year, a prodigious loss oi wealth.

In Canada great interest has been manifested in the utilization oi straw in the manufecture of newsprint, and the Canadian Pacific Railway has sponsored certain experiments for the commercial use of flax straw in the manufacture of high grade paper.

farmers than she has. Another way oi stating the fallacy is that there are too many oi every kind of P001118 l" the country, except farmers. Plenty of people have advocated the appli- cation o! persuasion and pressure to those who are not termini. to in- duce them to become farmers. "Back to the land’ came into vogue awhile ago as a slogan to the people‘ of our rapidly growing cities.

In the meantime the city popula- tion has grown toward equality with the country side at the rate oi some 50,000 yearly. It also transpires that the average farmer in Canada, by the use of greatly improved machin- ery and methods oi cultivation, tills much more land and produces amueh larger amount of foodstuffs than did the average farmer in the years be- fore the War. And this is true of all the great wheat-gowing counties oi the world.

Official figures compiled byMr- Sandwell from the Cans“ - Year Book and. from reports of the League oi Nations. prove conclusively that the possible wheat consumption of the world ls rigidly limited, andthet it can onlybg expanded by a drastic fall in price which would be ruinous to the wheat-growers of the west, if not to Canadian agriculture.

It is not only in wheat, but also in meats that the averagefanner pro- duces much more than he formerly did in the great agricultural coun- tries of the world, notably in Argen- tina, the far-south British Dominions. as well as in Canada and the United States. And the increased consump- tion oi meats, poultry and eggs les- sens the demand for wheat. Appar- ently the world is being surfelted with a massoi foodstuffs in unpre- cedented magnitude.

I often speak about Nature's care of us in spite of some of the foolish thingswedo. AlaooihowNature is always Just a little ahead oi our needs. Ihrery organin the bodyis capable of doing much more work than is ordinarily required of it, and when everything extraordinary is re- quired that body of yours is usually able to withstand it. Thus you may live with Just one lung or kidney, or about half the liver, and so fort-b."

' And now we reed of the surgical remov..l of almost half of the small intestine. As you know it is into the small intestine that the stomach empties the food after it has churned it for two to four hoummixiug it with the stomach digestive Juice. Just after leaving the stomach the food. is met in the small intestins‘by those other two digestive Juices-the pancreatic Juice from the pancreas, and me bile from the liver. After being mixed with these Juices it is ready to be absorbed into the blood. Now in order that it will haveplenty o1 time u, be absorbed it has to travel a. course of iwent. feet. up.and down little hills and valleys the surface of which is covered with little projection; which select and absorb the food into the blood stream.

Or it may be enjoyed in still fuller measure in the pages oi the numerous weekly reviews and literary supplements that advise the great American book-lov- ing public whet it should read. The standard of many of these publica- tions is admittedly high. The con- tributors, as a. class, are writers of re- pute and, in some cases, of rare abil- ity; and considering the pace at which they have to work w cope with the rush of new imitates reviewers cannot be blamed if occasionally they , nod or are guilty of a. lapse.

Like coal, straw is "bottled sun- shine." Chemists have achieved much with coal: they have produced per- fumes more fragrant than flowers and colors more dazzling than the rainbow, gas to drive engines, and drugs to ease pain. From the sticky, repulsive coal-tar they have created an empire of useful things. In wheat straw these wonder-workers have dis- covered similar and unsuspected treasuresl l’

The wheat straw we burn with such enthusiasm at the present time can be transformed into dyes, gas, paints, disinfectants, fly sprays. auto-top dressings, antiseptics and who knows how-many more things. At least that is what chemists say, and that is what their experiments prove.
