Woman Aspires To Wheat Crown

CR-ESION, B. C., Jan. o-Forced by illness to seek an outdoor hobby. Mrs. Charles Kelsey turned to seed grain growing. Now she has her eye on the world's wheat crown that adorns the head of Wenibleys Her- man ‘Prelle.

By a close study or sci adapta- bility, she has advanced her prize- winning grain rating at the Chicago International Grain Exposition from 34th to 12th position in three years. Next year, she hopes, may bring her the coveted reward.

Should she be successful—and her ShOWlng in many competitions in the past six years has been little short of remarkable-she would be the first woman to capture wheat- donfs premier honor.

Mrs. Kelsey came here from So- skatchewnn 20 years ago. With her husband she operates a 10 acre or- chard near Creston. A small port- ion of the land- ls used to conduct seed eirperiments,

In 1934 Mrs. Kelsey won 34th prize at the Chicago fair with a first exhibit. The following year she advanced to 23rd place and last year, with a sample of Reward wheat variety she annexed 12th prize. She has won many awards at provincial fairs.

At the British Columbia Seed

with three prizes for corn exhibits and a second for Reward wheat. In 1933. at the World's Grain show, at Regina, her sample of Reward was adjudged 16th in a large list.

A native of Worcester, England, Mrs. Kelsey came to Canada and Regina. in 1911. She met her hus- band, a prominent nearby Keddle- ston district farmer, two years lat- er. Apart; from her original pur- chases all her prize winning corn and wheat exhibits have been grown from seed of Kelsey from production.

Romans Started Annual Frolics For NeLYeaWs

[By The Canadian Press)

Age. cannot wither “nor custom Ii-Lfllt! the infinite variety of New Year's celebrations but 1119i! hi" been on the go a long time. The Romans more than 2,000 years use made merry at the birth OI i116 year with a schedule of entertain-

‘ merit that would make the festivi-

ties of these days comparatively [mils-is believed the Roman obser- vance of the New Year grew from the ceremonies attendant on the en- tiy of new consuls into office at the “January Kalends" which was

'u time for feasting and the ex-

change of gifts. Another theory of origin is in the still more ancient festival of Satumalia. in December, marking a sort of thanksgiving at the end of the harvest and vintage season.

While the first of January was definitely fixed as the beginning of the year in Rome by the Julian calendar in 48.13. C., it was prob- ably regarded as such 100 years prior to that date. The early Chris- tian church disapproved of New Year's Day celebrations on account of their association with pagan ex- enm feast was instituted by the church.

When Christmas became fixed on Dec. 25 in the fifth century A. D., Jun. 1 was made a. church feast in commemoration of the circumcision of Christen the eighth day after birth, according to Jewish raw. Lat- er, as Christianity spread, this at- titude of the church caused the adoption of different dates for New Year's Day.

England retained March 25, the feast of the Annunciation, as the first of the year until 1752. except for the period from the Norman Conquest to the 13th century, when she reverted to Jan. 1. Germany and a few other countries began it at Christmas. France and the Low Countries at Easter, while Russia. up to the 18th century made Septem- ber ihc first month.

The Gregorian Calendar of Pope Gregory XIII, which 1n 1582 re- stored Jan. 1 to its firmer position at the first of the year, was accept- ed by most Catholic countries im- mediately. Germany, Denmark and Sweden adopted it in I700, Great Britain and her North American colonies in 1752. Not until 1912 did China conform to the Gregorian style, while Russia followed suit in 191B, Roumania and Serbia in 1919 and Greece in 1923,

The ancient Roman year usualy started with the Sprlnx. Hence we get October, November and Decem- ber, the eighth, ninth and 10th months of the year. July. named in honor of Julius Caesar, and Aug- ust after Augustus, were formerly Quintilis (fifth) and Sextills (sixth) respectively.

Varying customs are associated with present-day New Year revels in different omintries. In France it is the great fete of the year, with gifts circulating then rather than at. Christmas. Similar customs pre- vail in French Canada, or Quebec.

In England fihe day is apparent- ly over-shadowed by Christmas fes- tivities. It is a big day in Scotland where in some places there are the famous New Year Hogmanay pro- cesslons of children who collect

doles of oaten bread from the homes of the rich. In Germany greeting cards are more numerous at New Year's and presents are giv- en to traidespeople, but. Christmas remains the day of great rejoicing.

Duke or Winds? Perpetuates Ranch

EDMONTON, Jan. ti-The Dulq of Windsor has paid annual taxes °11 lll-‘i P61501181 property in south. em Alberta and holds a B9 yeai ionic’ to the mineral rights on ti“

EP ranch, mentioned since iii; abdication as a possible future res:- deuce.

Since I920 when the duke, thci Prince 0f Wales. bought the 3.5a acre stock farm, near Peklsko, lll h“ Pflld about $5.000 into Alberta coffers as taxes at the rate of up. proximately $312 a year, The ranci- is not subject to school district oi municipal taxes but is levied 11pm under improvement district rates

The problem of whether {iii ranch, which had been yielding cer- tain revenue from grazing lease; Should be considered tax exempt ai

crown property confronted officiiii, '

when surface rights to the property were acquired.

“When the question was taken u with the prince, word came back that he wished to pay the time; a, he did not desire to be treated dif- ferently to any of his neighbors oi Ol-lIEIHIIOPEIbY owners in this pro- vince.’ I- zovemment official said “Ever since that time the taxes have been paid."

The Duke of Windsor retainrzl title to the property when he b9. came Kins Edward vm. Offlciifa do not anticipate any transfer wiii result through his title now being the Duke of Windsor.

_Wh8fl the property was ggqujggd. some 2,200 acres were crown laud Purchased from the Dominion gov- ernment which then had control of the natural resources of the prop- 91W. Federal records state the land title was sought in order to per. petuate the use of the ranch foi- T815318 Furs-bred livestock.

That aim has been carried out and with success. stock from ti" ranch have been awarded prizes at many Canadian and international

owe. v

Regarding the mineral lease, it gives the duke petroleum and coiii rights but does not include gold and silver mining rights. A special lease would have to be taken out to ob- tain these. '

The lease, an important document in the files of the Alberta ‘depart- ment of lands and mines, was drawn up at Ottawa in 1930. Greater iii- terast in the long-term lease has been aroused because of oil strikes on the west flank of the Tum“ Valley field which extended in the direction of the royal ranch,

Drafted in bold, sweeping long. hand, the lease was made out. by the Dominion government in the name of the crown to “His Royal Highness Edward Albert. Christian George Andrew Patrick David, Prince of’ Wales." It was granted at the nominal rental of $1.00 a. year.

Should the duke decide to allow oil drilling on the property he would be required to pay a royalty only on sales of petroleum and nat- ural gas, as the coal is not subject to a royalty.

Special terms of the lease provide that if at any time the surface rights cease to be used by the duke or members of the royal family, the lease is to become null and void. Neither can the mineral rights be assigned, transferred or sublet to any person or corporation.

The duke did not acquire the lease with any intention of allowing drilling operations to proceed on the ranch. It was believed the min- era] lease was taken to prevent ex- ploitation of the ranch by oil com- panies which might obtain leaves and exercise their right to start drilling‘.
