An idea of what ‘has been accomplished in organization | may be gained when oneâ€"looks at the map and sees where all these parties are locatea. Three planes with three engineers and prospectors are at Baker Lake on the west side of almost the lmost; northnerly point of the Hudson |Bay coast. On the east side of the {Hudson Bay, at Richmond Gulf, is a camp where men have been checking up stories of mineral discovâ€" leries brought in by the Eskimos during the winter.

GCOMPANY This is the second season for Hamâ€" mell‘s Northern Aerial Minerals Exâ€" ploration Company, the criginal type of modern prospecting by what may be classed as the upâ€"toâ€"date "mass proâ€" duction" method. This season the N. A. M. E. Co. has no less than seventy prospectors out on the trail and pracâ€" tically all of them are oldâ€"timers at the game. Hammell has made use of chartered steamers, airships, etc., in his striking methods for prospecting on a big scale. The airship has become a regular commonplace in the N.A.M.E. The enthusiasm and vision of N.A.M. E.‘s president, John Hammell, has atâ€" tracted very general attention, and reâ€" cently it is said, a number of big finanâ€" cial men have linked up with him in his ambitious plans for prospecting by wholesale, as it were. In outlining this year‘s plans Presiâ€" dent J. E. Hammell states that there are now about 70 men in the field scatâ€" tered at points all through the Arctic circle. . These men carried provisions with them to last until the end of this month, and with each ten parties of prospectors and workmen is a mining engineer who supervises their work with the assistance of ageroplanes. Skiis have now been taken off all the winter planes except three, which are located in the far north and will need them Lake area a copper find is being looked into. In addition to these parties there are others at Windigo Lake, Sullivan Lake and Crow River in the Patricia district of northwestern Ontario. Copâ€" per discoveries have been made at Winâ€" digo and Sullivan and a gold discovery at Crow River. Parties are also prosâ€" pecting in the far northwest above and around Great Slave Lake, which is more than 1000 miles north of Edmonton THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO NORTHLAND IS A COUNTRY OF THRILLS AND ACTION In an editiorial article, The Northâ€" land, the bright newspaper of Cranâ€" berry Portage, one of Manitoba‘s newâ€" est mining camps, says:â€" "If you are searching for thrills, there is no better place on the face of God‘s green footstool to experience real wholesome thrills than right here in this north coutnry. Life hereaway is one continuous thrill, and once exâ€" perienced you are loth to leave it. It gets into your blood. ‘"The call of the wild"â€"that still small voiceâ€"the voice that lures all men and women who have real red blood coursing through their veins. "The fishing, the hunt for game, the canoeing, the days and nights on the trail, the exploring in outâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"way places, the discovery of mineral that may lead to fortuneâ€"are the real thrills one experiences in the north, and that tends to the physical upbuildâ€" ing and betterment of manhood and womanhood."

Such holders, of course, can vote for the deal, depositing bonds for transfer with the Toronto General Trust Corporation on or before June 20th, the final daiy;.

The North Land can grow potatoes ‘to advantage. In this particular part of the North the soil is specially adaptâ€" ed to potato growing. and here there are no potato bugs, the curse of potatoâ€" growing. The Advance has more than lonce referred to the fact that whatever may be said about the country‘s mosâ€" quitoes and blackflies, there is no word for the potato bugs for they are ‘never seen here. In an address to the Associated Board of Trade some years {ago, Hon. J. Martin, Minister of Agriâ€" culture, emphasized the desirability of the farmers and settlers in this counâ€" !try going in for specialties He sugâ€" gested dairying and poultryâ€"raising. He thought that without specializing, the ‘farmers would not have so good a |chance for success. His view on the lmat;ter is upheld by the fact that pracâ€" 'tically all the farmers who have gone | in for special lines suitable to the counâ€" |try and the cireumstances have made good â€" success. The New â€"Liskeard Speaker last week suggests the specialâ€" ‘izing in potatoes. The Speaker sugâ€" gests that one houndred thousand dolâ€" Hlars goes out of Temiskaming each year Ifox' potatoes grown in other areas. If |\ this is the case in regard to Temiskaâ€" \ ming, an even larger amount of money fmust be spent for potatoes used in \Cochrane District and grown outside \this section. The home market would be well worth specializing for in this Couple of Hundred Thousand Dollars spent for QOutside Potatoes That Could be Grown Hoere. NORTH MIGHT SPECIALIZE IN GROWING OF POTATOFS "Before the potato planter was used farmers planted with the walking plow' in rows about three feet apart. Anyâ€"| where from thirty to forty inches seemâ€" ed to suit, because the plow was also| used for hilling the potatoes. But of late years farmers have been putting the rows closer. Experiments should be made. An American farm maga-{ zine says:â€""A few years ago Maine potato growers considered 12 to 15 busâ€" hels ample: Toâ€"day especially in Arooâ€" stock county, the tendency is to use 20 bushels, and some of the more careful men, particularly certified seed produâ€". cers, plant in the neighbourhood of 25.5 This increases slightly the cost of growâ€" | ing the crop. On the other hand, it | permits use of a larger seed piece, which will give a more vigorous plant,| eliminates skips in the stand, and enâ€"| ables the grower to bring his rowsf closer together, a very inportant point| where high yields are the aim. This: tends to lower the cost per bushel, a far more important point than cost. per acre." | Blairmore (ADerta) Enterprise:â€"A Scotchman entered the Cosmopolitan hotel the other day. As most of his friends were named Jack, he hesitated to address the few there at the time, hoping that the others would arrive shortly, so hse could say "Hello, Jack!" to the whole bunch at one breath. To our personal knowledge splendid samples of Temiskaming potatces were on exhibition at the Toronto Industrial Exhibition 34 years last September. We have not missed seeing Temiskamâ€" ing potatoes a single year since then, and the only failure was during last year, and this was only a partial failâ€" ure. At our fairs the potato samples were as good as any ever grown in any country, but on flat land, much wet weather caused the potatoes to rot. Farmers who had high land, in most cases, saved their potatoes. "Of course, last year was an offâ€"year for all kinds of farm crops, but it was the first offâ€"year even known here. So why not take a chance this year on growing more potatoes than formerly. If the price should be low, and the market glutted, farmers can always feed potatoes to stock. We have known farmers to keep potatoes too late in the spring, and then complain about their loss. Such farmers only had themselves to blame. When spring is about half over, and the prospect of selling seems unlikely, potatoes should ‘"Now, here is our reason for the sugâ€" gestions, we have made. During the late winter and up to the present time one New Liskeard dealer had shipped to him for sale here from an Eastern Province 12,000 bags of â€" potatoes. Other dealers here also bought quantiâ€" ties of potatoes from the East. If we said that one hundred thousand bags of potatoes had been shipped to Temisâ€" kaming since last fall we would proâ€" bably be under the mark. In other words, one hundred thousand dollars were sent out of Temiskaming for potaâ€" toes during the past six months. Unâ€" der ordinary weather conditions the farmers of Temiskaming could have grown more potatoes than the citizens of Temiskaming consumed during the year. be fed to stock. There should be no waste. ‘"We have often noticed that farmers have sown barley or oats when the spring season is far advanced, but we have rarely noticed that they have reaâ€" lized satisfactory results under such conditions. "It is not a good policy on the part of the press to advise farmers to specâ€" lalize in any particular crop, but it is right and proper for the press to give information which,may help the farmer in deciding what crops he should specâ€" ialize in. ‘"The potato crop is a safe one when planted even as late as the middle of June, and turnips as late as the 20th. Farmers who have land intended for cereals, but who were unable to sow up to the present might find it to their advantage to plant potatoes, or sow turâ€" nip seed.
