Illustration Stations

It is encouraging to note, from a news item in ‘Tuesdays Guardian, the interest which is being taken in the work of the Dominion Govern- ment illustration stations through- out, the Province. The annual field days for these stations are now being held, and our farmers are availing themselves of the opportunity of see- ing at first hand what is being accom- plished in the way of scientific crop production.

Forming today is a scientific profes- sion in which success is dependent upon keeping abreast d the timI. That the twelve illustration stations throughout the Province perform a valuable service in this connection will be seen from the published out- line of the major projects under way. These are: (i) the introduction oi pure bred bulls into districts where ueodi fi fie weighing and testing of die milk from individual cows; (2) applying the practice of harvest cul- tivation, a , “ice which has prover: very eflective in the control of weeds; i (l) compiling cost of production data; (4) applying nitrate fertilizers to tim- gmy; (5) comparing manure and fer- tilizer for potetoa; (e1 demonstrat- ing new concentrated fertilizers; ('7) mtg-oducing new crops and varieties; 1nd (s) promotion of vegetable gar- lene end flower sfl-rdens.

The Turn of The Tide

Canada ought to be thankful to Premier King for resistinl the temp- inMon to defer the general election m another year. The strete€i¢ 00"‘ siderations that moved him to 8° tochepollsonmezotihoflnstmonth did not work out as he expected, but the issue proved extremely satisfact- pry to the country.

The British Way

Mr. Walter Page once asked Lord Liverpool what America could learn from Britain. Lord Liverpool asked if he could speak without offense. and Mr. Page said certainly. His Lordship then said the one word: "Modesty."

Something of what Lord Liverpool meant, so far as it applied to Britain. is revealed by the log of the 11-100. telling of the experiences of the alr- ship when she passed through a ter- rifle thunderstorm coming up the 5t. Lawrence. The experience, apparent- ly, was a terrifying one. The sir was in a turmoil and the huge ship was tossed for hundreds of feet in the air. This, however, is how the log tells about it:

"A; 9.30 p.m. local time passed through thunderstorm. Violent dis- turbed air currents. Ships height varied rapidly between 1.500 and

4.000 feet. Slight damage to stor- board fin otherwise ship 0. K.

The Fisheries Portfolio

Cyrus Macmillan as Minister of Fisheries, ex- prmses the hope that the right W90 of man for the portfolio W111 b9 found by the Bennett administration.

Notes By__The Way

Some Liberal Newspapees are find- ing some consolation in conning over the various seats which the Conser- vatives fell to carry. Curiously the defeated Conservatives are said to bc amog the most popular and most efficient members of the party. There's a melancholy satisfaction in this also, and so there are gleams 0i light still shinning through the shad ows.

How should we interpret bird-song. What is the motive behind it? Was the Christmas carol of ‘she thrush a theme of thanksgiving? No; fa‘. frmn it. Bird-song. although otter. exquisitely melodious. is not express~ ive of sympathy; on the contrary it i

largely a proclamation of rivalrv

defiance, and emulation.

The sharp note sent recently 1 Turkey is the man responsible io only a routine threat were it not fo: one fact: the Soviet Ambassador to Tizrkey is the man responsible for stirring up the trouble.

When Red Russian diplomats write the ultimatums which local states- men obediently sign the outside world can be expected to sit up and take notice.

On the surface the present trouble between Turkey and Persia seems ordinary enough, says a contempor- ary. Wild tribesmen from Persia have invaded Turkey and were sever- ely punished for their attempt. They have fled to Mount Ararat. where. owing to a peculiarity of the border, they can be reached only by Persian consent. ‘Iurkey wants that consent, o‘: threatens to change the boundary to suit himself.

As is well known, Turkey and Russia. have recently worked closely together. But Persia has also been under the influence of Moscow, The references of the Turkish Premier seem to indicate that one our other of the t/wo Islamic nntiom is slipping out from the Russian orbit. and the sltuati is worth yvatching.

.; to tidy up the back yard. It was

her a large yard. and so I invited ~. boy next door to help me, in re-

‘n for which I offered to help him

‘ his wood. Nhile there was a certain novelty me ln handling the saw I had to unit that sawing wood was a much n-der job than tidying up the yard. nus I found myself stopping very {ten to ‘grease’ the saw so that it :ould go through the wood more easily.

However as we were good friends and wanted to get away to play or fish it was to our mutual advantage m help one another at our respective chores.

Why do I mention this?

Because as there is a difference be- tween sawing wood and tidying up a yard, so likewise is there a differ- ence in the amount of work between that of a hard working mechanic and an office man. Now while a certain amount of food is necessary irres-< pective of physical work done never-. theless a hard outdoor worker re-i quires twice the amount of the ln-‘ door worker. '

And yet we find the oiflce man often eating three large meals a day, with an extra meal at night at a party, bridge game, or even as a regular habit at home.

What does this mean?

That his system has to handle this extra quantity in the best way it can. The usual way of course is for his body to simply store this extra food away as fat, and so we find such a. large number overweight. This puts extra and unnecessary work upon the heart.

With others it means a lot of extra work on stomach. intestine, liver, kid- neys and skin, because the majority of these big eaters take little or no exercise. \

Oi course some of these big eaters boast that they belong to the no

of a potential menace.

The need of requiring- drivers of automobiles B-fid railroad trains, motor-men, elevator operators and persons in similar occupatlors to sub- mit to frequent examinations to prove their ability to cope with the demands of their work without dan- ger to themselves or others. i5 one of the real problems of the hour.

No steps have yet been taken with a view to alloying the dust nuisance on our public highways such a system was promised when the present pro- vincial government took office three years ago.

Pen" 8WD piling up skyscrapers-it's ‘possible to get too much weight on lthe surface." Well, an engineer of repute and experievce. one who him- 'self has put up some of the buildings, advises us that there is no danger whatever. at least so far as New York is concerned.

New York is built on solid rock, as is generally known. and nobody can ‘tell how deep it goes or what is un- lderneath. Our engineer says he suspcctg one might bore for miles and still find rock. At any rate the ledge is capable of sustaining enormous weight. But it doesn't have to. As- tonishinsly the erection of a mil building seldom adds to the dead ‘weight of New York City, because the rock excavated to make way for the skyscraper is likely to weigh more than the building that goes up. ‘Phat new tallest structure in the world. the Chrysler Building. consid- ,erebly lightens the burden of the world‘; crust. it weighs appnodm- ately 00.000 tons. The mck and earth enoavated for it foundations and basements weighed approxim- ately 130,000 torts. It isn't as if all the rock were token from one place on the island and dumped on mother eitihu.
