Chippewa has been grown very °Xxâ€" tensively in this locality and north of here. It is an excellent potato in every respect. Rather flattish in shape, clean appearance, with shallow eyes. Sebago, a new variety, was grown sUuCcâ€" | cessfully in Timmins last summer. Se-l bago is a cross between Chippewa and : Katahndin, combining the good, clean! qualities of both, but it is later than| either. Sebago was cut down by frost! while still in full foliage before the tu-’ bers were fully developed. Even so it yieded twelve bags for one. Not a reâ€" markable crop by any means, but Seâ€"| bago‘s real claim to distinction seems to lie in its ability to resist late blight,| Blight was unusually desitructive in t,his! locality last Fall, due to lack of spray. ing.

They take about the same time to mature]| one hundred and twenty to one hundvedi and thirty days approximately, Green Mountain is very susceptible to late blight; it aoes very well in a dry seaâ€"| son, however.

Cobblers are fairly resisâ€" tant to late blight but do not thrive in a dry season. They grow to medium size. Their deep eves are definitely a fault that detracts from an otherwise excellent potato.

The conclusions as to the economic importance of the varâ€" jous fields based on the older price of gold, had ten years ago been revised, and for that reason the geological actiâ€" vities of the Department in the sumâ€" mer of 1934 would be confined mainly to the newer gold districts, although as | many of the old areas as possible would and be visited during the approaching sumâ€" t mer. | ~Returning to North Bay after a trip over thae whole T.

Although detailed returns | were not available, Mr. Lee.stated that ‘both passenger and traffic business for February were at last on a par with [1933. In regard to the effect of weather ‘conditions, he noted that expenses for ‘the winter were almost double the preâ€" lvious year‘s; figures, This increase was \due to severe cold weather and also to the heavy snowfall.

The Carnation is related to the specâ€" ies Dianthus. Unless you especially wish to grow Carnations is might be better to turn to other members of the family that will give you equal satisfaction in the border. Brilliant effects can be proâ€" duced by employing the Chinese or TInâ€" dian Pink. These are easily grown from seed and flower fairly early. The douâ€" ble Japan Pink (Dianthus Heddeweiggi) will give you a colourful mixture, from the most deli¢cate rose to the richest, velvety crimson imaginable,. The bloom varies considerably in form and is often very double and frilled. The plant grows to ten inches and blooms profuseâ€" ly from the time it comes into flower until front. Dianthus are perennials, and with slight protection, most varieâ€" ties will winter well outdoors. The third week in March 1934, the members of the Timmins police force received their new uniforms, and they all looked very smart in the new dress of the force. The uniforms were bue, with plain blue trousers, without stripes, The uniforms were all numbered in brass figures on the collars. The new police uniform was to be accompanied by the wearing of helmets instead of the usual caps or hats. Gold production by Dome Mines Limited for the month of February 1934, was off slightly, as compared with the output in January, due mostly to the shorter month. During Feb. 42,707 tons were treated, and recovery before addâ€" ing premium was $358,787. For the preâ€" vious month 46,500 tons were treated for recovery of $382,497. .

They see that he gets enough food, have had his tonsils and adenoids removed, visits the dentist twice a year, yet he is persisâ€" tently underweight.‘ Research ~workers in nutrition of children state that: one of the reasons why some youngsters keep urderweight is because they are really tired all the time. In a largeâ€"group of undernourâ€" ished under obsi>rvation by Dr. E. P. Emerson, he found that 64 percent kept late hours and 54 percent were suffering from overfatigue due to extra work in clubs, classes and industry. The strain of keeping up in school work and comâ€" petitive games is seldom realized and re:; periods are not provided during the day not sufficient restful slecp inâ€" sisted upon at night, sometimes parents insist on ‘"outâ€" side" lessons in music and dancing when the young:ters has no liking or talent for these activities. Sometimes the child could do with some music and dancing lessons as he may lack coâ€"ordiâ€" nation and rhythm but these are the exception. "Adults do not appreciate‘ how many and wearing are the activities of a child and how much of its energy is required for growth. The child may be overestimated so as not to realize that its energies are being exhausted and pride in its achievements may cause the parents to spur on rather than to restrain." It is likewise true that too many actiâ€" vities of a social nature together with poor or irregular health habits can keep the individualâ€"child or adultâ€"in a state of continuous tiredness. Dr. Emerâ€" son reports, in ‘"Nutrition and Growth of Children", that in a large group of malnourished children he found 72 per cent used tea, coffee, or both; 64 per cent kept late hours; 28 per cent were taking insufficient food, and 36 per cent were eating too fast, Among the entire student body of a woman‘s college, he found approxiâ€" mately the following figures on tne occurrence of faulty health habits: irâ€" regular bedtime 43 per cent; irregular time of bowel movements 28 per cent; other irregular, habits of living 18 per cent; working in poor air 9 per cent; inâ€" sufficient exercise and outdoor sunlight 40 per cent; finicky about food 18 per cent; habitual overeating or underecatâ€" ‘"Unhappy home conditians sometimes increase nervous fatigue."

In her book "NMutrition and Physical Fitness", Dr. Jean Bogert suates that the slender type will usually need an especially nutritious diet, relaxation, and extra rest, and often corrective exerâ€" cises for posture, in order to build up the optimum or ideal weight. We have been priding outselves that as a race we are growing taller, but "the tall slender type which is the least sturdy and the most difficult in keep in good â€" nutritional condition formerly numbered about one in every 5 persons (20 per cent) but has increased until it numbers about 50 per cent of the preâ€" sent generation of children and young people, largely due to breeding, fewer baby deaths and current living condiâ€" tions." The thought then as we think of unâ€" dernourished and underweight children and adults i; that food is only one facâ€" tor in increasing weight, "Strain, worry, lack of exercise, fresh air and sunlight, hurry when eating, eating when tired, irregular habits and lack of rest, are all such familiar evils that we fail to appreciate how much they affect the individual‘s health and weight." One of the most dangerous ailments is the s>â€"called common cold because it may Gdevelop in bronchitis and pneuâ€" monia and may be the forerunner of tuberculosis.
