Kilt! Henry II of England was

mill-li too busy in other, ways to join tile Crusades, blit he encour- nced reel-ultiiii: for their forces. Hence. in 1188. Baldwin, Arch- blilifiii ol’ Canterbury, "a vener- able iiinn, distinguished for his le-uliilirz _mid piety." accompanied by Gerald lwho was now Arch- deaeoni as interpreter. entered Wales near the borders of Herc- ford_ and proceeded to Radnor. Here the prelaie preached a ser- mon on the subject of the Crusades that iiistniitly drew a multitude of ecclesi;i:~iics_ nobles, and common Prfilile “to take thc sign of the Ci~o,\s". This meant. that a. cross, of red cloth. was sewn on the war- rior`s cloak oi' coat., to signify that hc had taken oath to join the ('rli.=arle. Gerald was one of the _first to kneel nt. the feet of the 'll0l.\' ui.iii" and vow to take the iourizcy to Palestine.

ANENT POTATOES

That admirable series of articles

on “P.E.I. Potatoes," recently run- ning in The Guardian, deserves to bc put. on permanent record as :i bulletin or pamphlet. advertising one of our most prized agricultural products. Not all potatoes' are alike in chemicals and vllnmlm though the public only recognizes those which are “mcaly" and inns.- which are not. Our cousins to the south seem to prefer an all- Sl8l'Cll Potato. such as the Moun- tain or the Cobbler. but I think our own people-who are certain- ly connotsseurs in this matter _ will agree with me that there is no potato with more feed vnliie than the Macliilyre or "old Island blue."

There is perhaps a change coni-

ing in the American view of wimt's best in the potato. A New York advertisement brings to my nntp-it the "Maine Golden". a newirish potato "01' superior merit," It "1icl< less starch. and more Vitamin A". is yellow fleshed. flike the be=t table potatoes of Europe) and has a. more ledicate flavor; children who refuse to eat other potatoes will readily ent the new "GoIdeii". the best of all sources of lime. Tlie Golden cooks in seven minutes less time and being free from starch cracks, has less waste. I gather that a determined effort is being made to educate the public in the use of this potato.

WHITSUNTIDE

I am indebted to a friend for a

copy of the Manchester Guardian for May 21st. which, though some- what belated. is not without in- struction in certain respects, The Whltsuntide holidays had"‘j\i.c~t gone by with eclat. for the slin- shine had been plentiful. On Whit Monday (May 17thi thc seaside resort of Southport. Enlz.. had 14,3 hours of sunshine, while we on this tight little Island had rain all day; Blackport. the holl- day resort of Lancashire. had 34.2 hours of sunshine for the three days of the week-end; ii total oniv exceeded by Oban. in Argyle. Scot- land, which rcvelled in 40.4 holirs

`f'5`i3"'the same period.

Westminster Abbey, was natur-

ally a great attraction to London- ers on the Whll.-Monday Bank holiday. When the doors of the Abbey closed in the evening it was found that 20.853 persons had pass- ed the portals. At a shilling a head, that brought. in $5.214: and with the $9.730 received on the Saturday-when entrance cost ten shillings a head-the Abbey had a total of $15,000 to distribute to various charities.

Whit-Sunday is one of the three

great festivals of the Angli/-an Church. and gets its name because the newly baptised catechumens formerly wore white garments on that day. It is the seventh Sun- day after Easter. and in Britain the following Monday is a Rencrnl holiday. Tn Lancashire and York- shire W‘hlt-Monday is R treat flu.V for school festivals. when school-1 march with flags flying. and v0iCt‘S raised in song. It was for such an occasion that the Rev Sabine Boring-Could, curate of Horbury in Yorkshire, wrote the words of the stirring hymn"'0nwardl Chris- tian Soldiers." to which Arthur S. Sullivan. in 1071. wrote that fine tune Bt Gertrude.

O’Brten and ioeniils lst. Gi-ant and Hill lily, and Jnmaialnen (5) reported similar findings ln 1935.

Ipimtical scale the value of borax ,an li col'rect‘\'e for brown heart, zi series of trials was conducted at 3 Experimental Stati0ns and 22 illlusti-ation Etatons in the Mari- imc Provinces. In these trials the ilvornx was tested in combination with fertilizer and manure.

METHOD OF APPLICATION i

While favourable results have ‘ocen obtained by applying thc eizcmical broadcast the direct-in- the-drill method appears to bc most satisfactory. Tile clirmical may also be appl ed with saus- factory results at the sides of the row. The borax can be distnbutcd successfully in combination with the fertilizer and applied by means of the ordinary fertilizer distributing machinery. Uniform mix‘ng of the chemical with the feililirr is fuiticnic-l_v 'inloi-taiit.. This can be simplified by tirst_ .mixing the borax with 5 to IU' times its oivn weight of fine] sieved earth, sand. gyplim or other suitable spreading inaterial and then thoroughly incorporat- ine this mixture with the bulk of the fertilizer. Mixing the borax by means of a Suitable mechan- ical mixer such as is used by fertilizer dealers -s recommended_ in preference to mixing by hand.. If the farmer does not usei fertilizer the borax should be mix_f ed with sufficient suitable spread-_

3. Tests conducted over a period_

of three years in tlic Maritime' Provinces demonstrated that tur- nlps require boron for normal developn-ent and fiurthor that ithe addition of this element to the land is a safeguad against -brown heart. Finely powdered borax has been most. satisfactory source of boron. for this purpose. 15 to 20 pounds Der acre giving highly sat- isfactory control without causing injury to ordinary crops in sub- sequent rotat‘ors.

4. Heavy lrimlng of the soil pre-

disposes the turnip to broivn heart. while naturally alkaline soils

render borax less effective.

5. Proven methods of applying

borex are as followsf-

(1> In the drill; (2) at the sides

of the drill; <3) broadcast; (4i combined with the fertilizer and dispersed by means of ordinary lmachilne spreaders.
