BETTER ROADS ADVOCATED BY MOST RURAL CENTRES
Impressing upon the Provincial Goy- ernment the urgent need of embark- ing upon as large a highway improve- ment program as possible in what promises to be a record tourist year for Canada, various delegations have submitted their representations.
Good roads are essential if the tour- ist business of Alberta is to represent a turnover of millions instead of sev- eral hundred dollars annually,
Now the province is waking up to the situation, and various districts are taking the initiative, following the trail blazed by the Alberta Motor As- sociation which has consistently advo- cated larger road improvement and

“We have in this province the basic industry of agriculture,” says an offi- cial of the A.M.A, “The farmer has his produce to sell and naturally he wants to sell for cash. But how can he sell to the tourist, who would be his best customer, unless there are good roads for the tourist to travel over?
“Get the tourist into the provinces and he will spend 80 cents out of everv dollar for what are farm products, the other 20 cents going for car operat- ing costs..
“That means if we had the roads, we would have the tourist, eager to come here to see some of the finest seenery in the world. And when we have the tourists, we have a cash busi- ness that will put general trade on its feet and give the province a new lease on progress and prosperity.
“This is time for various organiza- tions, municipal councils and other bodies to join in a concerted campaign for better roads, which will pay for themelves several times over through increased returns for our farm pro- ducers.”

DON’T DIG DEEPLY
Proper cultivation, the preparation | of a fine seed bed, weeding, fertiliz- | ing and watering are operations that | are essential in the gardening pro- gramme which is taking place from one end of Canada to the other.
The spade in the garden corresponds | to the plough in the field, and both | must be used with discretion |
It is a mistake to dig so deeply as , to bring to the surface the raw, cold sub-soil, The top soil is the richer and contains the bacterial life responsible for the decomposition and release of plant food substances, Garden soils of a clayey nature should not be worked when wet. Coal ashes, while contri- buting no fertility, will improve the} physical structure of clay soils, No matter what its origin and despite the greatest care devoted to its cultivation no garden can be a complete success unless the nutritional needs of the plants are satisfied, Fortunately the ; average soil is capable of supplying 'most of them in quantities sufficient for plant needs, The exceptions are nitrogen, phosphate and potash so that a fertilizer embodying these three ingredients should be used.

THE WORLD OF WHEAT

A great scarcity of wheat exists. The world is short 500 million bushels
of wheat for its consumptive needs!
Such the headlines that have appeared in re

cent months, They afford to most peo
ple a satisfactory reason to explain why price bounded up from $1.00 last fall to $1.50 recently.
During the last three weeks, how ever, price has fallen 20 cents a bu- shel, Many are wondering why this should be if there really exists such a deficiency of wheat in the world as the newspaper headlines indicate,
The answer is that the headlines have given us entirely the wrong im- pression, There is no scarcity of wheat in the world, as most people under- stand the word “scarcity.” The truth is simply that the supplies available for overseas export are searcer than usual, but are far from being actually deficient.
The average world “carry-over” on August Ist each year, is about 600 million bushels, On August Ist next the “carry-over” will be scarcer than this, but will still be about 500 million bushels, which, of course, is a lot of |

To discover whether one is hypersensitive to cold and therefore in dan- ger of succumbing to shock in the water, all that is necessary is to im- merse one hand in ice cold water for a minute or two twice a day for a three week period, If the hand swells under this treatment, it is a danger eigy Ihe experimenter is liable to shock and drowning if he or she ven

Speed Has Been Exaggerated
Germany's Rearmament Program Will Take Some Time To Complete There is no doubt about the mag-
nitude of Germany's rearmament program; but its speed has been ex- aggerated. So writes Hanson W., 3aldwin in a Berlin dispatch to the New York Times. After some ap- parently exhaustive checking up with expert observers, Mr. Baldwin writes: “Despite contrary reports, Germany was not ready last year to fight a major war when her troops marched she is not ready to-day and she will not be ready next year. It will 1939 1940 at least, it is believed, before she can hope to complete training that vast reservoir of some 6,500,000 untrained men who had experience with Versailles and Hitler. It will be two or three years least before Germany, although straining every nerve, can pile up the reserve equipment needed for a mas sive army and can supply sufficient

It is the correspondent’s opinion, however, that at the time of Rhine- land occupation, Germany would have been beaten, if France “had taken positive measures,” and that “Germany would probably lose to- day if France were her only op-
ponent.”
The Times’ observer, however, does not minimize the prospective effec- tiveness of Germany's vast rearma- ment program, Germany has reservoir of man power “that France not possess and which Britain, without conscription, cannot utilize!” and Germany is untrained men from that and turning them into Buffalo Courier-Express.

An Unusual Fatality
Soldier Escaped War Hazards To Be Killed By -Bicyclist
An immense crowd of people at- tended a funeral in London, Eng., to do honor to the memory of an Aus- tralian soldier who had been killed in a peculiar manner while in Eng- land as a member of the Australian military contingent to the tion. He was hit by a bicyclist on 3irdcage Walk, Wellington barracks, where the Australian con- tingent was quartered.
The simplicity of the accident that took ‘this man’s life illustrates the anomalies that are found in the af- fairs of existence. Gunner Arthur Percy Sullivan, V.C., who was the victim of the mishap, won the Vic- toria Cross in 1919 when he rescued four comrades from a_ Russian swamp under heavy fire. After an experience of that kind, the normal conclusion would be that the subject would chance to escape the less spectacular hazards of the streets. But there is nothing certain in that connection and hu- man beings must be prepared for the unexpected at all times,

THE YELLOW
BRIAR
A Story of the Irish on the Canadian Countryside
By PATRICK SLATER
By arrangement with Thomas Allen, Publisher, Toronto.
CHAPTER IV.— Continued So the morning after, | rode off in Marshall's wagon on my way to Mono Mills. The team spanked along the Dundas Road west from Toronto, and, turning north- ward, we travelled slowly over rough roads to Malton on the Sixth line of We lodged the night after at a roadhouse at Tullamore, 3right and early in the morning, we were up and on our way again. William Marshall was _ big-hearted enough to be kindly in his quiet way to the little urchin riding beside him into a strange world. The flight of the wild pigeons, and the flow of the
cedar-clad water brooks, were leis- urely explained as the creaking wagon lumbered slowly along. The country gradually became rough ‘and broken. A great hill stretched up suddenly before us; and along its crest @mall, fleecy clouds passed
slowly by, like a flock of sheep newly washen clean.
“Oh! Sir,” I in childish may, “how will we ever get up that powerful big hill?”
“Just bide a little, lad,’ the man told “and we'll lick that little old hill once we get a hold of him.”
And true enough the hill gradually

melted away, in wondrous wise, to disclose a still greater one to threaten us.
“Oh, Sir!” I exclaimed, clutching his arm, “how will we ever get up that terrible big: hill
“Patrick,” Mr. Marshall told me, “you and I didn’t cross the great stormy ocean to be scared by little hills, or aught else. We Irish fel-
lows just go up to things like that and give them a good ding.”

Early in the afternoon we pulled up at Henderson's blacksmith shop. The anvil ringing—-“clink! clank! clink!” at that iron forge at Mono Mills as the smith beat a glowing horseshoe into shape amid a spray- ing shower of flying stars. Out the wind to smart the nostrils, drift- ed the peat-like smoke of the forge and the pungent smell of hoof burned in the fitting.
Michael Costigan bestirred himself to reset a spare wagon wheel left in for repairs as our team had passed down. The huge Irishman wrought earnestly the hot tyre, his tongue sticking out the corner of his

After supper 1 sat on the wash
bench by the side of the back kitch- en door. Then came still evening on, with the tiny noises small creatures stirring in the early twi- light; and, in between, I could hear the sound of the grasses growing. Little Charlie Marshall sidled up to show me a big wart he prided himself on. Then I helped the hired man fetch water from the well, It was a curious contraption, that well. A long, stout pole had been teetered on the crotch of an elm post planted
of
some feet back. A bucket and rope were attached at one end, and the other end was well weighted. Letting the bucket down for water hoisted the weighted end of the pole. When the bucket was filled, one just
steadied it, and up it came, neat and easy-like, with no strain or slopping.
That night I was sent to bed up a ladder into the loft over the back ktichen.
“Patrick,” Mr. Marshall called up,
“I wish you a good night God have
you in His keeping.’’’
It was lonely up there for awhile, but I soon discovered my little folk come with me. I could hear the
pixies playing about in the walls and every now and again a little fellow weit “tick-tick!” like a watch, ‘tick-tick!" to let me know he was guarding over me.

Through the courtesy of Mr, Reg. Skerry, who provided the use of his truck, the Scouts have built a beacon
on top of Spion Cop, The beacon is

could easily have been built wider and higher, we considered that, there being a Coronation Dance the same evening, it would be far better not to have it too large as it would take that much longer to burn. As it is it will burn for quite a while,
Rockets and torches (for a proces-
sion to Spion Cop) were ordered on} |
