' It matters not whether the guilty one be drunk, or sober, it he (or she) be negligent and careless the crime is the same. But the fact that a person who is under the in- fluence of infoxicuting liquor is more likely to be negligent and careless than one who is not, should cause persons who drive motor cars to be careful not to drink-not to take any kind of in- toxicant. in any form-before tak- ing the wheel of a car. That is the rule of autoists in San Eran- cisco and in other cities; it was the rule voluntarily adopted, even be- fore the Prohibitory Liquor Law was enacted. It was found that the smallest quantity of aniintoxi- cant was apt under the eye and hand unsteady and therefore apt to render the autcist unfit to direct his auto carefully and safely.

Jan. 10th says: ‘Mr. Angus Macdouald was recently advanced from the position of Vice President to ‘that of Presi- dent of ‘the Southern Pacific Rail- way. "e was a. noted athlete when a. student at ‘St- Edward's Univer- sity. Austin, as well as at, Notre Dame University, Indiana. He ‘has ‘been located in New York ‘for more than a year. and it is probable he wrill remain there." The foregoing ‘item is copied from one of our ex- Ohflnges- We may not be able to claim this gentleman as “a success- ful Islander" abroad; but this much we surely may claim: I-lis father and mother were ‘both Islanders. The former was one of the Mne- donulds of Little Pond, and the lat- ter was Belle ‘Nlcliacllertt of Black Bush, King's ‘County. Before leav- ing the island, Mr. Mucdonald, Sr.. was a hridge-builden and Contract.- or. in the early 70's; and Miss Belle McEaeherti, whom he married shortly after. was a very popular school-mam and besides a capital violinist.

A, MoEachern, not- ed lawyer of New Yolk City were nephews. case the punishment which the Chief Justice has imposed will not be deemed to be unduly harsh or prolonged. To the men them- selves it. will, certainly, be the lightest that they will endure. To know and feel, so long as they live. that they were the cause—when drunk or when sober, it matters not-of the sudden death of two of their companions and friends, will be to endure the pangs of remorse as long as they live. Their fate— the result of their negligence when in charge of a car in which other persons were passengers-is a warning to all who drive cars to obey the law, to observe the regul- ations affecting motor traffic and travel and to be careful. -—i-<-0>—-— (Canadian Press) ‘CIHWCAGO, Feb. 7. —- Two fire- men were killed and four others were seriously injured yesterday when a five storey brick wall col- lapsed after a $500,000 fire swept throttgh the Metropolitan Building near the downtown district buryintl 7 firemen in the debris.

From ‘the steer ‘barn it is only a few steps over to the new cereal barn. There we have stored in mouse proof rooms ‘thousands of samples of grain that have been grown in connection witih our re- lsearchi and Iinvesti iontatl. work with cereals. A nucleus of thrash- ing and cleaning machinery, elect- rically driven, has been installed. in the field adjoining our trained men have hyonidized by cross fer- tilization different varieties of wheat, oats and barley. The pro- geny according ‘to ‘MendeP-s law may be divided into three groups; those having pure dominant char- acters, those with pure recessive characters and unstable hybrids that. will continue to break up de- veloplng plants oi’ many different characters from ‘the tsame parent seed. These all have .10 be elim- comes u, pure line strain. The seed from promising heads is sown the following year in head rows 3 feet long and 1 foot apart. Care- ot‘ each desirable plant. strains are grown in increase plots unttil. their purity is established of other varieties and strains in rod rows with at least four replications for each strain. The varieties that prove most suitable are fur- ther tested in duplicate one sixti- eth acre plots to‘: years until i.»'..i‘ll' superiority for this Province is es- talai-slted. ‘then they are multiplied on the farm mutations, registered and sold ‘to seed growers or fur- th-er multiplied on the illustration Stations ‘throughout the Province for their districts. Some of our best sorts have been developed by selection. -lt ‘was in this ‘way that ‘Charlottetown No. 80 barley. de- scribed in this booklet "Cereals The Corner Stone of ‘Canadian Commerce," page 14, was originat- ed ‘at this ‘Station. ‘it has practic- ally replaced all other harleys ill this Province.

One of the many projects in cer- eal research work is ‘the test of rates of seeding for ‘there sorts of oats: Daubeney, Banner and Abundance. We started this ‘work at tine request of the Research council of Canada four years ago. There have ‘been 1756 rod rows and a total of 5&5 separate plots each year. iWe sent ‘forward the 1926 data in December to Ottawa where it is being, considered by a special commit-tee along ‘with ‘the results from similar work a ‘four otibar Experimental Stations and Act-l- cttlmral colleges. This ‘work re- quiru great accuracy and unlimit- Mnny thousands of seeds and plants have been exam- ined and counted and recorded. lTbe seeds were spaced no that cbe Ina-ted lbefore a new variety be- ful records are kept of the progeny The new then they are tested with hundreds tt-ou ofifce we might pass around tthe lily pond. These five variet- lies 0t Kentucky ‘water lilies plant- ed in 1910 now completely cover the pond with leaves and bloom. Many fresh water ponds and lakes in the ‘Province might now be mock- ed wich these beautiful flowers. The Station will be glad -to supply roots for that purpose to a limited exent in May 0t‘ each year. In the office you might be inter- ested in discussing some of the 308 projects that thave been started at. Che Charlotteown Station with the Superintendent 0r this ‘Assistants. The teat of rates of seeding oats mentioned will illustrate to you obe project idea. All ‘projects have to be submitted to the Divi- siou of the Central Experimental Farm interested and approved by the Director ‘before ‘being undertak- en. The Experimental Station is the ‘island’ farmer's headquarters for inventigational and research work with pests, fertilizers, soils, crops and stock and for informa- tion concerning the many hundred subdivisions that the projects 00n- neoted with these divide themsel- ves into. The farm problems of today increase in complexity. The farmer finds that ‘to work ou‘t the solution of many of these problems alone la ‘beyond his means and abil- ity. He knows that the balance between profitt and loss, success and failure is often so close that only the ‘touch of experienced ad- vice is necessary to turn the bal- ance in his favor. When the- Sta- tion ‘staff meets some problem that is new ‘to them they can turn to the "Guide ‘to Experimental Projects" and find out if work is underway on it at any of the 26 Dominion ‘Experimental ‘Farms. ‘Over 2000 different projects are listed in the Guide and a letter. to the right man will quickly get the available information. We ihave done a great deal of work as you all- ‘know ‘with pobattoes ti see that we have 12 projects in connection with potato culture listed in the Guide. The Charlottetown Sta- tion was fortunate years ago in getting a disease resistant turnip "Banghbim ISeltieted" from ‘Jen- mark, this turnip h-as prtwcd itself r0 be one of the most. resistant of m‘, vlaiul, to Club-loot. We have tested many strains called Ban-g- tested many tstnains" called Bang- helm Sel, ‘that are on the market in Canada ‘but have not round one as resistant as our own strain. The ihome grown seed rarely has a diseased root. on even the worst. infected soils. iWe grew about 200 pounds of ‘this seed in 1926 and had a number of illustration Sta- tion opera-tors also grow seed for their own needs. From the office ‘we ntigbt go through the poultry plant and see some of the breeding ‘pens that are mated up for the coming season. Quite a number of ithese birds are registered and with -their leg bands, wi-ng-bandm ant‘ tattoo intlilrkingls they seem to feel tlheir importance. As indicated on ‘their registration certificates the Barred ‘Rock hen Rlavenwood 22 B. No. 898 ‘hatched May 1023 lad 246 eggs in the year ending Oct. 30th, 1924, and irhat the S. C.
