Mine Safety Comes from Complete Collaboration Between Mine Bosses and Workmen. | Both these conditions left the field open for experts who know how to prepare a potato for exhibition. A potato should be selected carefully; first for its trueness to type, then all the potatoes in the exhibit should be free from scab or other blemishes, and uniform in size. After digging, the potato should be dried in the sun and the dirt removed carefully with a brush. Uniformity in size and shape is very important. Distorted tubers do not have a chance. Size is not always a deciding factor in judging vegetables. It has some bearing on a judge‘s decision, to be sure, but their appeal to the eye, freshness, succulence, freedom from blemish, etc., goes further. It is a good idea when selecting vegetables from the garden for showing to be guided by the judgement of the lady of the house. Select them as she would buy them for the table. Beets, kohl rabi, the round white turnip and the milan turnip are all very often shown in an advanced stage of growth; carrots; are often too large and course. Root exhibits require careful treatâ€" ment. The tops of carrots and beets The ruling, "Potatoes must not be washed," has also been left out,. This does not mean that potatoes should be washed before entering. The ruling was inserted in the first instance for the protection of the exhibitor. Washâ€" ing damages the skin of a new potato and is quite apparent to‘ the eye of a discerning judge. The reason for omitting the ruling was because a number of exhibitors refrained from reading it and washed their potatoes; others read it too literally and brought their potatoes in straight from the garden with thee soil still adhering to the skin. Some entries left the judge in doubt as to where the soil ended and the potato began. few exhibits in these two classes have been entirely above reproach. This placed the judge in a position where he was faced with the prospect of ignoring these dissgrepancies entirely or, keeping strictly to the catalogue, to disqualify every entry in the bedding pansy and viola classes. Violas and the two classes of exhibition pansies, which are large enough to be distinctive, will remain in the catalogue as before.

No commenrcial growâ€" er would thing of attempting to marâ€" ket a carrot with a green ring around the top caused by sunburn. Select these for their symmetrical appearance in preference to size, although size counts, especially in the larger varieties of tuinmips, such as the swedes. But a medium sized turnip, wellâ€"shaped with all the roots carefully trimmed and the exhibit properly cleaned will catch the eye of the judge where a larger, less attractive specimen will be passed over. Beans should be brittle and show little swelling. People often write to National Deâ€" fence headquarters at Ottawa asking "the present location of Thomas Smith who is in the Canadian Army‘". Well, there are 124 Thomas Smiths in the Army, 14 of them from Toronto, for instance. Hence the necessity of supâ€" plying full Christian names, rank, number, and properly spelling the surâ€" name. Here‘s why. There are 5,118 Smiths in the Canadian Army, 362 of them having the Christian name of Wiliiam. There are:â€"Allan 308, Allen 759; Cook 746, Cooke 221; Johnson 1,807; Johnston 1,114; Johnstone 232; The McDonalds in various ways of spelling total 3,754;â€" Arsisnault 551; Arsenault 184.

Most employers in Ontario got a letter from Arthur MacNamara, Diâ€" rector of National Selective Service asking for their coâ€"operation in the saving of vital crops, by giving leave of absence to their able bodied emâ€" ployees â€" wherever possible â€"for harâ€" vesting. The letter also intimated that the Department of Labour, by arrangeâ€" ment with the railways, will run a harvest excursion to the Prairie Provâ€" inces late in August and early in Sepâ€" WEEKLY EDITOR LOOKS AT JMC Group 49,764 Safe Man Shifts 45,265 37,499 36,091 D.

The government will provide men going West for harâ€" vesting with return tickets at a cost of $10 to the man. Mr. MacNamara says that employers in other provinces will also ‘be invited to give leave to men for harvesting in their localities. The response of the farmers of Canâ€" ada to the appeal of the government to raise more sugar beets to ease the sugar situation is indicated in cold figures. The Dominionâ€"Provincial Agriâ€" cultural conference in December last year set an objective for 1944 of 63,â€" 400 acres, but latest reports is that the actual average contracted for between the companies and growers; this year totalled 71,438 acres. At the middle of June, Ontario reported plantings of 16,000 acres; Alberta, 30,000; Manitoba, 14,000 and Quebec 9,500. Prospects at present are good for the crop, with help supplied by Japanese and German prisoners â€" ofâ€" war, conscientious .obâ€" jectors, Canadian soldiers and civilians.
