Future Bright For Cattlemen Alberta Ranch Country Hopes To Get Out of the Red Ten lean years are over for the ranchers of Southern Alberta -- they look forward to a year of plen- ty of feed and, perhaps, plenty of money. "Give us decent prices this fall and we'll be on our feet again," was the comment of cattlemen attend- ing Calgary's Exhibition and Stam- pede. For a decade Alberta ranges were herds depleted and prices far below cost of production. Grass Is Abundant This year grass is abundant, par- ticularly in the southern foothills, Ground devoid of grass for years has been a green blanket; cattle are in fine shape and market pros- pects are good. "The foothill country is general- ly the best I have ever seen it in the past 22 years," sald Professor W. L. Carlyle, manager of the Duke of Windsor's E.P. ranch near High River. C. N. R, Operating Revenues Down The statement of operating re- venues and operating expenses of the Canadian National Railways all-inclusive system for the month of June issued at Montreal shows operating revenues were $13,702, 244 as compared with $16,091,901 in June, 1937.

Flightless Rail Worth $5,000,000 This Rare Bird form South At- lantic Has Never Been Cap- tured Alive--Try And Get One. Want to try your hand on a treasure hunt, with $5,000,000 -as a prize if you are lucky? They say the old romantic days of such expeditions are over -- but don't you believe it. True, it's not the doubloons or pieces-of-eight that await the lucky finder. In fact, it * is only a bird, and a small one at that. But it's worth, alive, a cool five million. Or so they say. The bird is a flightless rail, and is found only on Inaccessible Is- land (there's a name for those with the spirit of adventure!), in the South Atlantic. This rare bird looks like a small black chick and has long, slender legs and short, soft wings. Mounted Specimen Only A mounted specimen has been presented to the American Mus- eum of Natural History by the Rev. August G. Partridge, who captured it when he was British Commissioner on Tristan da Cun- ha, the worlr's loneliest island. Said the Rev. Mr. Partridge: "A live specimen of the bird itself would be so rare that it would be a good buy at $5,000,000. More than 20,000,000 pounds of crude rubber was shipped into Ar- gentina last year. |... Gardening Notes... NEXT YEAR'S IRISES One of the "must" items which many gardeners have marked down on their schedules for at- tention during the next few weeks is the ordering of irises for new plantings, or the improvement of old beds. Unlike most garden perennials the bearded irises can be set out during the midsummer. In fact, they are better planted then than later in the fall, when root growth again becomes active. No other flower so easily grown as the iris has such a wide range of color combinations. Almost every color, shade and hue is to be found in the petals of this at- tractive flower. Because of the ease with which it may be hybrid- ized, many amateur and profes- sional plant breeders have been making thousands of crosses year- ly, with the result that seedlings have been grown which not only produce taller and better branch- ed stalks, bearing more and larger blossoms, but new colors and col- or combinations have been also brought into existence. --AGENTS WANTED Full or part time, to sell ornamental trees and shrubs, evergreens, perennials and fruits, Year round proposition.

Stanley Park Nurseries STONEY CREEK -- Box 252 -- ONTARIO / THE FINEST PANSIES To grow the finest pansies, seed must be sown at the right time. Planting during the first two weeks of August results in the strongest plants, though early September is not too late. If one has a greenhouse, seed may be started indoors in January. Sow In August While pansy seed may be sown in early spring, the practice isn't recommended for sections where summers are hot and dry. Pan- sies delight in a cool climate and to obtain the finest flowers gard- eners in warm sections must time their blooming period to fall in the cool spring months. Since pansies are biernials, August sow- ing will give the plants sufficient time to grow and develop for a spring display of flowers. By far the best place to sow is in a coldframe, yet a well prepar- ed sheltered seedbed will give you very good results also. Unless careful attention is paid to the preparation of the soil, results are often disappointing. IN THE SHADE Ground-cover plants have an important part in the semi-shaded garden, taking the place of grass where it will not thrive and to fill gaps in the flower borders. Blue carpet bugle (ajuga), white lily- of-the-valley, light blue crested iris and blue leadwort (plumbago) are flowering sorts which do well in the shade, as do the evergreen Japanese spurge, periwinkle, the evergreen winter creepers (euony- mus) fn several varieties and the Baltic fvv. What Science * | Doing * Synthetic Vitamin E Vitamin E, the factor in nutrition that controls fertility and the abil- ity to carry the young to maturity and birth, has been made synthetic- ally by Dr. Oliver H. Emerson, of the Institute of Experimental Biol ogy, University of California, work- ing in the research laboratoriés of Merck & Co., at Rahway, N.J. This is the vitamin whose existence in wheat germ oil and in lettuce was demonstrated by Dr. Herbert M. - Evans in his research at the Uni- versity of California. Useful In Pellagra Discovery of a new drug which, it is hoped, will agsist materially in the treatment of sufferers from pel- lagra, (a chronic disease due to diet deficiencies), was disclosed at ondon, England, last week, by chemists who have been experi: menting for years on the compound derived from ordinary smoking to- bacco. . Tablets containing a drug which is named "nicotine acid" have been found useful in making good defi clencles of diet that cause many cases of pellagra in both the south of the United States and southern European cities. Trips To The Moon Regular high-powered rocket ser- vice to the moon may be expected in the "comparatively near future" it scientists continue to increase their knowledge as they have in re- cent years, Dr, Peter M. Milliman, AM, Ph.D, told a Kiwanis club meeting {in Toronto last week. "Rocket trips to the moon are much more feasible today than was the.invention of television 100 years ago," Mr. Milliman said. Wind In The Stratosphere Wind speeds in the stratosphere, one of the "great unknowns" of the weather, register themselves on a new radio direction finder at the California Institute of Technology. The finder {8 an automatic weath- er-man, who sits on a roof and. re- cords the vertical and horizontal angle of radio balloons such as the U.S. weather bureau is sending into the stratosphere to report tempera- ture, humidity and pressure. Little has hitherto been known about stratosphere and upper air currents. New Ancestor of Man Dr. Robert Broom, South African scientist, reports the discovery of a fossilized anthropoid claims is the nearest approach to an ancestor of man yet uncovered. The anthropoid's remains were found among a deposit of bones at Breccia in the Sterkstroom district. "The face {s unlike that of a gor- illa, being remarkably flattened and the muzzle very short," Dr. Broom said. "The ear reglon and the hinge region of the lower jaw are remarkably human, though very much larger. ' "The skull though not quite com- plete shows everything except the size of the brain. Half of the face is preserved with the whole lower half of the left side of the skull showing, Including the cheek arch, ear cavity and articulation of the jaw, . . "We have a practically complete palate with most of the teeth and a nearly complete lower jaw," he sald. Canada's Maternal Deaths Skyrocket Higher Than Other Countries - Of Equal Standards--Reme- dial Steps to Be Suggested In Near Future, The new Child and Maternal Hy- glene Division of the Department of Pensions and National Health is al- ready making progress with a sur- vey to determine factors contribut- ing to Canada's high infant and maternal mortality rate. When the survey is completed, it will suggest remedial steps its findings indicate, Canada's death rate is admitted- ly higher than it should be, and is poor in coniparison with two or three other countries of comparable national stock and condition of life, officials here admit.

DQ which he Highway Lighting System Advocated Suggested Plan Said To Be Cheaper Than Present Sys- tem of Road Illumination in Ontario. Recommended by Hon. N. O. Hi- pel of Preston, Speaker of the Ont- arfo Legislature, a new improved system of highway lighting {s now under consideration by the provin- cial Department of Highways and the Hydro-Electric Power Commis- sion, For Safer Driving The system will be installed on the new Preston-Galt double high- way if costs are found to be favor- able with the present highway lighting system. The new lighting plan, which it is claimed will make safer driving and eliminate eye strain, will embody underground wiring and the elimination of poles, It will revolutignize the system at present used on provincial high- ways and will be somewhat similar to that used on certain highways in France. Under the plan a lighting unit of portable type three feet high along the highway, with lights at various locations will be provid- ed. It is believed that the cost will be lower than the present overhead system, Many Old Laws | AreStill Valid Canadian Cities Have Ancient Ordinances On Their Books That are Rather Laughable. Every motorist in Vancouver is liable to arrest but it took. an in- quiring reporter 4o find it out. A study of city by-laws showed one directing traffic to keep to the left had never been repealed. Van- couver has been "keeping to the right" for-18 years! ! Cows, Pigs Barred If you must drive your cows or pigs along the streets of Ot- tawa it is as well to keep them off Metcalf street. An ancient city by-law, enacted when Ottawa was small and animals on the street were common, made it an offence to drive them along this central thoroughfare. Metcalf was the first Ottawa street to be paved with asphalt and the city fathers of that day were so proud of it they decided to reserve it for human beings and horses.' The by-law is still in effect. Tough On Pedestrians Halifax has its own group of old statutes that have never been re- pealed and nimble pedestrians, al- though unaware of it, were also breaking the law every time they jumped to escape being hit by a " vehicle on the streets. A city ordinance, never repeal- ed, forbids the performances of "Rope walking or any other gym- nastics or athletic feat on the streets." Apparently the law was enacted when a patent medicine vendor, to attract business stretch- ed a rope across the street and walked across it. A section banning imbeciles from walking on the streets on Sunday is also still on the books. Beautification Of Ottawa Begins Under Supervision of Paris Ar- chitect The Long Range Plan Is Going Forward Jacques Greber, Parisian archi- tect, famous on two continents for his town-planning, arrived last week in Ottawa to find work well started on the long range plan for beautification of the national capi- tal he submitted to the Govern- ment six months ago. Chief architect for the 1937 Paris Exposition and now consultant in the creation of New York's 1939 World Fair building construction, Mr, Greber arrived to discuss fur- ther details of the Ottawa improve- ment plans. : Central feature of: Mr. Greber's plan for Ottawa is the site of the National war memorial located on the plaza over the Rideau Canal.

E.'s Establishment Comes This Year Descendants of those who took part in establishing the Canadian National Exhibition during its formative years are being widely sought throughout Canada and the United States, it was announced last wek, by George Brigden, the C. N. E. president. Because this year marks the Diamond Jubilee of what is now _the largest annual exposition in the world, it will be designated as "Founder's Year" in honor of the men and women who contributed organizing ability, presented ex- hibits, and abianded the slowly- owing "fair" during the years fmmediately following its estab- lishment in 1878. Wear A Special Badge It is to centre attention on the fact that the Canadian National Exhibition is "the people's show" that the families of the founders are to be honored this year, it was pointed out. For this reason, any- one related to one of the founders will wear a special badge on the Founders' Day. Defined as foun- der is any exhibitor, visitor or ex- ecutive officer who was connected with the exposition prior to 1907. Eligible as descendant is a son, daughter, grandson, granddaugh- "ter, niece or nephew. Grain Is Grown, * Cut, Threshed Most Modern Methods of Har- vesting Are Demonstrated.-- Field of Wheat In Hamilton" Industrial Area. i For probably the first time in the city's history since it was incor- porated, a field of grain was grown, harvested and threshed within the limits of Hamilton, Ont. The har- vesting was done in a field on the property of the International Har- vester company, right in the heart of the city's industrial district. The demonstration was witnessed by nearly 100 prominent Hamilton business men and industrialists. Leave Grain Standing The demonstration showed the great advance made in farming methods and how the farmer's bur- den was being lessened. A field of wheat grown for experimental pur- poses was cut and threshed by a machine known as a harvester com- bine. Just recently these machines have been introduced to Ontario grain growers in an effort to cut down the cost and time of harvest- ing and threshingithe grain. The objection to the combine previously has been the. fact that Ontario wheat does not ripen evenly, but 12 machines of this make now operat- ing in the province are giving satis- factory service, it was reported, With these machines the farmer can allow his wheat to stand in the fleld until the time for threshing arrives. Drudgery Eliminated The combine eliminates the cut- ting, binding and threshing opera- tions necessary with the ordinary method of harvesting. The machine is towed by a tractor that supplies the necessary power. The grain is cut and threshed in the machine as it goes -thirough the field. The threshed grain is put into a hopper and this hopper is emptied periodi- cally into a truck or wagon at the scene of operations. . Only the straw Is left to be raked up after the threshing. The threshed grain is of as good quality as. that ob- tained with: the ordinary methods. The machine demonstrated cuts a six-foot swath and can do 20 acres a day. The field threshed yielded about 40 bushels to the acre. More Pheasants Being Released Ontario pheasant shooters will have 20,000 birds to shoot at next October instead of 5,000 as was the case last year, "ny D. J. Taylor, deputy Minister of, Game and Fisheries, says that a re- volutionary change in the pro- vince's pheasant shooting policy will be in effect in October when 60 townships in 13 counties are op- ened to hunters for one to three days. A Record Number "Hach township will issue" from 100 to 250 special licences," Mr. Taylor said. "The township clerk will have the right to reject the application of any person he doesn't "think is a real sportsman." The Deputy Minister said the De- partment experlmented with the system last year and found it a success despite the fact only 5,000 government-raised birds were res - leased during the year, The 20,000 'birds available this year fis the greatest number to be made avail able in any one year in the history ot the province. : " '& 1) 4 I,
