Western Potato Tests
Better varieties are in prospect for prairie potato growers because of tests now under way It nine re- search centers in Alberta. Saskatche- wan and Manitoba. In all I part of the national potato lrnpruvllnent plan tnnt.ltut.od across Canada by the Hortioulutrel Dividon, Oemnl E-

One rcasoii Scott was chosi-ii as the initial producer is the fact that the nearest commercial potato en- tcrprisc (most dangerous source of infectioiil lies over 50 miles in the north. This station also has a good supply of irrigation water. which ensures that a sudden dry spell won't interfere with plant groivtli. Last ,it-ar. the normal rainfall had to he assislcti with six inches of adriitionnl watcr. St-ott also has ample green- house space for itidex-testing seed slo('kS during the winter.
When it was decided that Scott was the best place at which to con- duct this work, a 23-acre block of land was set aside for the purpose. This was divided into six plots of three acres catch, all of which were protected t'rom other crops by slici- tcrbclts. or grassed roadways. At the present time. over lflfl potato varieties arc being tested.
Unwarranted Censure
('ivic leaders and union officials in the coal-prodiit-ittg areas of Nova St-oiia have good reason to be dis- turbed oi er the remarks concerning mine subsidies made by Fislierics Minister Sinclair in an address at Antigonisli. To begin with, even it the aiiti-siihsidy nhscrvatioiis were justilied, Mr. Sinclair was not thi- man to make them, since mines do not come within his legitimate pur- view. For another thing. the people of Pit-tou ('ouiity have trouble en- ough in their efforts to keep the employment situation from deterior- ating. without having to put tip with the knocking of any politician front some other part of Canada who feels like dictating policies respect-ing Maritime economy.
of the Federal Cabinet: but he has no particular responsibility for Mar- itime affairs. except in so far as all Cabinet Ministers have responsibility for helping to develop the general economy. (i'crtainly, he would be better employed in trying to per- suade the Federal Government to remove some of the unfair competi- lion by Anierictin producers who send more than 30 million tons of coal annually into the Canadian market. much of which. by a little more cncouragcnient front the Fort- cral (iovcrnmcnt, could just as easily be produced at home.
In any case. what reason docs Mr. Sinclair or any other politician have for denouncing mine siibsidics, even if the mines cannot be made self supporting over a period of years? As Mayor Matheson of West- villc well pointed out. wheat farms. gold mines. railroads and fishcrics, all receive various amounts of Fed- eral assistance from time to time. There is certainly no reason why coal mines should be singled out for discrimination. The Nova Scotia coal industry is going through a difficult period. It deserves something better from disiiitcrcslcd pOiiiif'l?tliQ"ti1;-til censure and arbitrary N'ill'tS not founded on snuiid economic t-otisiti- erations.

R. W-: What is the cause of bad breath and what treatment can be used?
Answer: Rad odor of the breath may come from several ihingnz in- fected teeth. tonsils or Idenoids. or infection of the am or new suma-
en.
The most frequent use is found in the teeth. where there may be cavities or lack of cleanliness due to insufficient. proper care of the mouth and teeth and not eating bul- ky foods.

By contract, I reiurnlnl U-5' iourllt can take home no less than 3500 worth of foreign purchase: duty free.
