Do the people of the North appreâ€" clate at its full value the service being given to the country by the air serâ€" vices here? It may be taken for grantâ€" ed that the South has not yet fully awakened to the benefit from the air »services. In the following article W. J. :._Gorman writing in "Grab Samples" «in The Northern Miner, says that flyâ€" ing is more or less regarded in the â€" Bouth as just a stunt but that in the North the value of the service has been +proven beyond question. It is to be â€"~noped that all in the North realize * just what the air services have done for this country. During the war and immediately after, The Advance persistently reâ€" ferred to the great possibilities for air service in the North. This seemed to be the ideal country for the aeroplane, or, perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that the airship form of transâ€" portation is the ideal one for this land of great distances. The Advance did. not forget that literally scores of able and courageous men had gone from this country, sparsely populated Aeroplane Service Valuable to North Public Should Not Forget the Services Given to the North and its Deâ€" velopment by the Man of the Air MADE 1N CANADA:® .

To see the British fliers make sky patâ€" terns at a speed of 200 miles an hour and up was exoiting. They made the ordinary planes look slow but to exâ€" soldiers the speed did not seem to be much greater than that at which the war flying of the last few months was done. All this is bue preparatory to reâ€" publishing the interesting article from "Grab Samples" in regard to flying. "Grab Samples" says:â€" though it was at the time, to join the air service for the duration of the war. Many of the men from the North proved their capabilitiee as airmen during the war and it seemed only logical to think that they could confer equal benefit on this country in times of peace in the way of service in the air. The years since have proven the truth of these suggestions. The record of the air services in the North is one to be viewed with pride by all in the North. OF CANADIAN WHEAT "The list for April 9th reads like an inventory of a hardware store. Lengths of mine rail, building paper, wooden rollers jostled bags of oats and bags of ore. Fish made the outbound cargo. In this six days the pilot flew 1800 miles within a radius of a hundred miles. That‘s practical business. "Flying is still regarded in the more settled parts of ‘Canada as some sort of a stunt. Not so in the North, where prospectors, mining enginéers, travelâ€" "On April 6th and 7th, loads weighâ€" ing 1727, 1425 and 1631 lbs. were carâ€" ried. Waybills show groceries, six barâ€" rels of oil, four rolls building paper, butter, biscuits, rice, baking powder, peas, eggs, sausages, macaroni, flour, potatoes, two boxes of sealers, 12 bags of oats. In one load day later there was 1440 lbs., consisting of eight sides of beef and three pieces of pork. "Examination of the waybills throws some light on the business of commerâ€" cial flying. On April 5th the pilot took off with 1690 lbs. in one load and 1798 lbs. in another, consisting. of flour, canned goods, four batteries, nine kegs of nails, some window casings, bed springs and mail. He brought out to rail two loads of fish, weighing 730 lbs., ind 1058 lbs. what of a busy week. This machine was working in the Lake of the Woods area and most of ‘the flights were made to fishing camps and mines in the district located within 70 miles of the cperating base. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Try The Advance Want Advertisements At the present rate of production signs point to record for Dome this year of approximately $7,300,000 in value of gold recovery. At the end of _June production for the six months‘ period stood at a little more than $3,600,000. The average recovery at the Dome, unlike many mines, can be accepted as a fairly accurate measure of the millheads, as the extraction of gold from Dome ore has reached the exâ€" tremely fine level in excess of 99 per cent.â€"a@ performance that has not yet been equalled elsewhere in Canada. Dome‘s 1934 Production May Exceed $7,300,000 Official figures covering Dome Mines production for the month of June show that there was a further rise in millheads and recovery. Bulâ€" lion produced during the month was worth $601,004, this sum being reâ€" covered from 44,800 tons of ore. The average therefore was $13.41 ton, as compared with an average recovery of $13.26 in May and $12.90 in April. "A new role for a flier was recently undertaken by E. W. Stull, formerly of Sudbury, now piloting for Canadian Airways, when he discerned three men marooned on rock in a rapids in the Gods Lake area of Manitoba. The men had been engaged in taking soundings for a projected power devélopment and had floated downstream on raft. With the overturning of their rude craft they were thrown on the rocks in the centre of a turbulent stream. Stull, flying overhead, noted their preâ€" dicament and landed nearby, cut down a tree which made a pathway of esâ€" cape.

"The public is prone to forget the services that the Northern pilots are rendering to the mining . industry. Were it not for the aerial transportaâ€" tion provided into such areas as Red Lake, Little Long Lac, Swayze, Great Bear, news of mineral developments would be slow in maxing iIits way out Not only that, but prospectors would be infinitely slowed down réaching new â€" areas, in making discoveries. Public subscriptions to new enterprises would be reluctantly offered if it were to take weeks to get information of developments. Probably the flying companies ‘are too modest in their claims of assistance to mining,. The industry simply accepts the service as its due. ling salesmen thke to the air as naturâ€" ally as they used to step into a cance in the old days when travel was slowâ€" er. The situation that has developed plants. It is generally conceded that a path of fair width should be kept clear of plants by cultivation, but it is well to remember when hoeing along the main It naturally follows that the raspâ€" berry plantation should be kept clean and presentable in appearance. This does not mean, however, that everyâ€" thing except the bearing plants should be cut away indiscriminately. It must be borne in mind that each mother plant is performing a dual function during the growing season, in producâ€" ing a crop of fruit, and at the same time reproducing by means of sucker plants a new plantation for next year. This means that whatever cultivation is performed should be done judiciousâ€" ly. For example deep disking may deâ€" stroy many of the feeding roots and seriously reduce both the crop of fruit and the size and vigour of the new As the main purpose of any plant is to reproduce its kind it is necesâ€" sary to watch infested areas for reâ€" occurring blooming periods. These latter blooms are usually produced on much shorter stems than the first blooms and are therefore much hardâ€" er to see. Whether or not a farmer is in a position to eradicate entirely any bad weeds which may have become esâ€" tablished on his place, it would seem very advisable that every effort should be put forth to prevent, in so far as this is possible, the further spread of these weeds by means of mature Summer Care of Raspberry Plantation Some species, for example the perâ€" ennial sow thistle (Sonchus arvensis L.), are equipped with a special means, commonly called a pappus, which will carry the seeds for undeâ€" termined distances, but certainly onâ€" to formerly uninfested areas. To preâ€" vent this it is necessary to cut these weeds before the plants have advanced sufficiently to mature the seed. For Northern Ontario early spring planting on well drained, fertile soil which has been properly prepared the pervious season is the forerunner of success in strawberry growing. Prevent Weeds From Reâ€"Seeding ‘The most efficient and economical means of eradicating certain weeds may not yet be definitely established. It is quite evident, however, that to prevent these weeds from producing and disseminating viable seeds is esâ€" sentially a step in the right direction. It may not be possible to get all of the weeds cut and thereby prevented from seeding, but just to whatever exâ€" tent this is accomplished will the new area subjected to infestation be reâ€" duced. The main requisites are: good drainage, plenty of fertility and freeâ€" dom of weeds. Therefore select site that is free of pockets and basins and with sufficient slope to give good drainage. Apply a heavy application of wellâ€"rotted manure. Even up to 50 tons per acre may be used to advanâ€" tage. Plough under immediately and disk or cultivate occasionally in order to make the plant food more available and destroy any weeds ‘that may germinate. Kapuskasing FParm Weekly News Letter One of the main things tending toward success in the growing of strawherries is the preparation of the land well in advance, preferably year or even more. This preparation may take place, in part at least, while growing another crop such as potaâ€" toes, roots, etc. If, however, this has not already ‘been arranged for it is not entirely too late to prepare an area for planting next spring. This condition is well within theo realm of possibility, because fortunateâ€" ly strawberries have such a . wide adaptation of both soil and climate, that reasonably good results could be obtained from some particular site or practically every lot. Strawberries and raspberries come in for special attention in the letter from the Kapuskasing Experimental Farm this week. The following is the letter of the series published weekly for the benefit of readers of The Advance:â€" Preparing for Strawberries It would certainly mean a very great deal to the settlers of Northern Ontario if each were growing plentiâ€" ful supply of strawberries; not only to use as fresh fruit while the season lasted, but to preserve, can, and make into jam for the winter months as well. There are many docations adjacent to fairly large centres of population where a goodly surplus could be marketed to advantage and with profit.

Under the present conductor, Robert Barker, the Sudbury band is making good proâ€" gress. The officers and executive of the Sudbury band are now appealing to the people of Sudbury to coâ€"operate and assist so as to make possible the continuance of the ‘band and to asâ€" sure opportunity for educating the boys and girls to band work. They beâ€" lieve that a permanent home for the band will be of the greatest assistance to the plans of the organization for the development of band talent and the creating of interest and support from the younger element in the city, The latest venture of the Sudbury Nickel District Band is to attempt to raise funds to finance a permanent band hall for the city of Sudbury. The first move in the financing is the holding of a field day on July 25th. Sudbury band has already purchased a At the Experimental Station at Kapuskasing, fall planting of strawâ€" berries has never seemed to do as well as early spring planting, so our suggestion would be to renovate the old bed for next year and prepare the land this fall for the setting out of a new plantation early next spring. One of the first steps necessary in preparing an old bed for the second year is the narrowing of the rows, which may be done by ploughing off one side of each row if the patch is large, or by spading off a similar porâ€" tion if only a few plants are being dealt with. The main thing to keep in mind is the recreating, in so far as that is possible, the conditions which existed in this same patch 12 months previous, which naturally would inâ€" clude among other things the followâ€" ing: (1) Only a reasongable number of young, vigorous, healthy plants; (2) freedom from weeds and (3) plenty of plant food. These are best accomâ€" plished by an almost cruel use of the hoe and digging fork, plus the incorâ€" poration, in the soil, of an abundant supply of wellâ€"rotted manure. sUDBURY BAND PLANNING TO BUILD HALL IN CITY At the experimental station at Kapuskasing, our observations> would lead us to feel that the old canes asâ€" sist somewhat in retaining snow, and thereby tend toward reducing the efâ€" fect and extent of winter injury. Rencvating an Old Strawberry Bed The most satisfactory results are obtained in growing stra whbherries when only one full cron is gathered from a plantation. That is when new plants are set out each spring and the old plants are ploughed up immeâ€" diately after the fruiting season is over. It sometimes happens, however, that no new plantation has been arâ€" ranged for and in such cases it is posâ€" sible by a good deal gf work and atâ€" tention, to renovate the old bed so that it will sort of bridge the gap, and continue bearing for another year. Neither the berries nor the yield will be large, but particularly in small patches fair results are possible. spaced evenly as possible over the enâ€" tire width of the row, which may be in accordance with the grower‘s wish, and in addition the stronger and more vigorous canes only should be left. Whether the old canes are removed in the fall or spring would seem to depend largely on the size of the planâ€" tation, and whether or not the grower will have sufficient time for this work in the spring. ~â€") FRANK â€"BYCK With â€"Our Variety of Algoma Coke, Welsh Anâ€" thracite, Pennsylvania Blue Briquettes, Alberta, Pocaâ€" hontas, Buckwheat, N ut, Slack and Steam Coal.
