What Science * Is Doing * NEW CANCER TREATMENT Tiny particles of atoms have been found in certain instances to be more effective than X-rays in treating of cancer. The U, S. Na- tional Cancer Advisory Council an- nounces the particles â€" neutron raysâ€"have been used successfully for the first time on cancerous growths in human beings. “These rays are capable under certain con- ditions of killing the fiercely active cancer cells.’’ TELEViSION BY SPRING An official of a television labora- tory, at Rochester, N.Y., last week predicted early coverage of spot news events by sight and sound for broadcasts to the American public in an address to the Institute of Radio Engineers and Radio Manu- facturers Association. The statement came as the asso- ciation received a report saying the television receiving sets would be available to the general public next spring. OYSTER ATTACKS ANAEMIA A means to aid the prevention of nturitional anaemia has been found in the Apalachicola oyster, avail- able in Miami area the year round able in Miami area the year round, scientists announce. The Florida oyster contains a higher content of iodine, has the four vitamins A, B, D and G. It con- tains iron and copper for the blood, phosphorus and calcium for the bones and teeth and iodine for the healthy thyroids. VITAMIN DETECTIVES Vitamins heretofore merely pol- icemen of health, may turn detec- tiveâ€"t;o discover indication of dis- ease even before it actually sets in. Dr. Casimir Funk, of Paris, orig- inator of the modern vitamin con- cept and coiner of the word “vita- min," told a group of American scientists last leek that latest re- searches point, to possibility that the normal body shows a distinct balance between Certain hormones (gland products) and vitamins se- creted in bodily waste fluids. By establishing what the normal balance Is, Funk said, medical men may he able to determine when the balance' is upset, thereby discover- ing the possibility of diseases like diabetes .and ctrircer in such early stages that they may be prevented. Vultures Visit Brant County Southern vultures, rarely seen in Ontario, are in the Lyn- den district east of Brantford. They are inhabiting the fields and hills near what is known as the Baptist settlement. Their habitat is the hot southern sec- tion' of the United States. For some ime, the birds have been seen flying high overhead and five were found feeding on the Carcass of a dead cow on a bush road farm. One was shot, and Rev. A. *B. Reekie, who lived for several years in the Southern. States, identified it. It had a wing-spread of four feet. Farm Forum 1. Q. "Please give me informa- tion as to plowing down buckwheat for fertilizer. I have a crop I sow- ed on poor land I would like built up.” G. C. G.â€"Bruce County. A. Buckwheat crops will return about 12Yz lbs. of nitrogen. 2. Q. “Some of our good cows are looking bad this fall. Their hair is standing up, and skins are rough- er than they used to be. Some cows have nearly choked on bones. A neighbour said the cattle needed bone meal. What do you think?” â€" J. P.â€"Grey Co. A. Your description of conditions among your cows indicates distinct- ly mineral deficiency in pasture, or feeds that the cows are receiving. You should obtain a couple of bags of mineral supplements such as bone meal or supplements with hone meal base, and feed approxi- mately one cupful t.o an animal, at each feeding. With this treatment the cows should stop chewing on bones, and their hides should be- come smooth as the cows thrive more healthily. Plowing Champion Settles Tractor Controversy Carl Schoger, six-time national plowing champion of the United States, proved by actual test that a tractor runs better on rubber than on steel. With Firestone Ground Grip Tires he has saved hundreds of dollars in fuel costs alone. Rubber -Is Better On Tractor Wheels Tests Prove Saving of Hund- dreds of Dollars If Mach- ines Run On .Firestone Ground-Grip Tires Instead of On Steel Steel or rubber? For nearly seven yearsâ€"ever since the first rubber shod tractor rolled across the fields of the late Harvey S. Firestone’s farm, the relative merits pi steel and rubber as tractor tire equip- ment have been subpects of divided opinion. Which is more practical? Which is faster? Which will do more work on a, gallon fuel, a trac- tor on steel or a tractor on rubber? Under the observation of an en- gineer from a leading university and of forty keen-eyed farmers who gathered in a field of barley stub- ble a few weeks ago, Carl Schoger, six-time national plowing champion of the United States, answered the above questions, but with facts of actual performance. Tries It Out From the fields of his neighbours, plowman Schoger borrowed six tractors, provided each with a set of steel wheels, a set of Firestone Ground Grip wheels, and an auxil- iary fuel container of certified cap- acityâ€"accurate to the fraction of a dram. Thus prepared, and with the carburetor drained, Schoger opened the line from the^ certified fuel tank and started across the field on the steel wheels, pulling a gang plow set at a depth of 6” to 7%”. Upon the attainment of full travel speed, a marker was dropped along the furrow and a split-second stop watch started measuring time to the hundredth part of a second. At the end of thirty-six seconds, a second marker was dropped. At the end of a hundred seconds, a third marker was dropped and the tractor continued around the field until the last drop of fuel was consumed and the tractor sputtered and stopped dead in its tracks. With this data recorded, the tractor was returned to the starting point. The steel wheels were replaced with Fire- stone Ground Grip Tire equipment and the procedure was repeated. The figures tabulated from these tests furnished accurate compara- tive information; 1st, on the num- ber of yards covered in 36 seconds by each tractor; 2nd, the number of seconds required to cover the dis- tance between the first and third markers;. 3rd, the number of min- utes and seconds required to empty the fuel tank at top plowing speeds, - All of these figures were used as a basis for measuring the relative performances of' rubber and steel in terms of time and fuel require- ments. The results were startling. In- creased fuel cost on steel ran as high as 42 per cent. Increased time requirements on steel were even greater. To plow a given area of ground with one particular tractor required 43 per cent.. ' more time than was necessary to do the same job on Firestone Ground Grip Tires. Big Saving o:i Fuel On the basis of '.000 miles of service, the projet:.r,J figures in the fuel saving atone amounted to $552 on iractor A; $248 on tractor B; $472 on tractor C; $226 on tractor D; $248 on tractor E; $470 on trac- tor F. Added to these amazing fuel savings shown by Fire-stone Ground Grip Tires are the equally important savings in man power, in', a hundred days of operation, five tractors equipped with Ground Grip Tires would do more work than six tractors. plowing' on steel wheels, thus providing one extra man and tractor for another job.

Traffic Deaths Caused Chiefly By Inattention Three Toronto Experts Agree On the Reasons Why The Accidents Happen Millions of words have been written and spoken about , the causes of automobile accidents, says the Globe and Mail. Boiled down by three Toronto experts, they amount to these: Momen- tary inattention, impatience, lack of courtesy, incompetence, care- lessness and liquor. These faults apply to the pedestrian as well as the motorist. The opinions are those of Police Inspector Edward Dunn, H. G. Pester of the Ontario Safety League and W. G. Robertson, of the Ontario Motor League. They unanimously agree momentary in- attention is the most widespread cause of motor killings. Pedestrians come in for a good- ly share of blame from Inspector Dunn. By strictly observing traf- fic regulations, however, motorists could have avoided 47 per cent, of the accidents this year, he con- tended. iARTIN-Bipl wsimwm3£mimanal Important now ore develop-* ments southeast of main shaft on 250-ft. ievel.

Farm Regions Much Reduced Cultivation in West Is Down Million Acres, Says Expert More than 1,000,000 acres of land have gone out of cultivation since 1921, Prof. J. H. Ellis, of University of Manitoba, said in a report to the economic survey board. With total land area of 146,- 000,000 acres, Manitoba has only one-seventh of this territory or- ganized into municipal units after 55 years of active settlement. In the organized area only 7,789,920 acres were under the,plow in 1936 against 9,022,738 acres in 1921. Plan Land-Use Policies Manitoba’s policy in the past 65 years has been of the more or less hit-or-miss variety, the report says. All Manitoba soils are not DRESSMAKER HAD TO QUIT SEWING Hands Swollen, with Rheumatism , Pity this poor dressmaker! Nine tenths of her work consists of sew- ing â€"- and she was not able to sew. Rheumatism in the -hands was her trouble, and she tried any number of remedies. But nothing helped much â- â€" until she came to Kruschen. “Three-and-a-half years ago,” she writes, “I had a violent attack of rheumatic pains. My feet and hands were swollen. The pain was terrible. 1 was really quite crip- pled and helpless. “I tried many remedies without success. Then I started on Krus- chen Salts, and after one month. I could stand up again. Then, I walk- ed with a cane. In three months, I was quite well again. As I am a dressmaker,' you can imagine what it meant to me not to be able to work my sewing machine. What a treat to be able to walk, to work, end to he free from pain.” â€" (Mrs.) E.S. The stabbing pains of rheuma- tis'm are often causpd by needle- ' Minted crystals of uric acid lodg- ing in the joints. Kruschen brings relief hee-”.'=e it -helm to dissolve those troubling crystals and to ex- pel them from the system.. suitable for agriculture, he said. “It is vitally important,” Prof. Ellis reported, “that factors which have determined the varied soil types and conditions should be carefully studied and land-use policies planned not for exploita- tion but for maintenance and con- servation. We Consume Wheat In 1868, when the population of Canada was 3,511,000, the appar- ent home consumption of wheat was 22,822,000 bushels. In 1937 with an estimated population of 11,120,000, the home consumption of wheat was placed at 105,904,- OOObusheJs. The highest home consumption of wheat was 139,- 487,000 bushels in 1930 when the population was estimated at 10,~ 208,000. Exports of gold bullion other than monetary from Canada dur- ing September last had a value of $34,738,000 compared with $11,- 165,000 in September, 1937. Classified Advertising A.
