German Agents Foil Allied Spies One of War's Secret Service Disasters Revealed German secret agents who took part in one of the greatest decep- tions of the war and caused the deaths of many British and Dutch spies sent from Britain, are await- ing trial at The Hague. They part- ly wrecked the Netherlands under- ground resista.ce movement. The tragic story begins in the autumn of 1941, Agents, with a radio operator were dropped by the Royal Air Fo- ¢ in Holland. Weekly they radioed messages to London, They in turn received in- structions from Radio Orange, the Dutch Government transmitter in London. Spies Break Down All went well until the spring of 1042, when two men were arrested by the Germans, Under threats and. Gestapo cruelties they broke down and told the Germans how other Dutch agents were sent across the North Seca to Holland, The German Intelligence, using the code and the names of the two men, got in touch with London. All through the rest of 1942 they worked the radio station. "Send us 10,000 English cigarettes, some chocolate and another radio," was one request. And the RAF. drop- ped the supplies at the appointed place. The Germans learned about the explosives and: the arms carried by Allied spies, demolition experts and saboteurs, They made many re- quests for more and more people to be dropped into Holland, Thanks for Everything In all 40 Nectherlanders who were sent from England fell into German hands. Some refused to talk; others took the little rubber- coated lethal pills, ~vhich brought death within a few scconds. A few, under torture by the Gestapo talked about things happening in England, At last one of the agents, drop- ped into Holland. escaped. He got back to Britain and told the full story. The Germans, realizing the game was up, sent a final message to London. It said: "Thanks for all the things you have sent us." .

To Battle Budworm The Agriculture Department an- nounced it is intensifying its annu- al attack on the spruce budworm, which infests aa estimated 260,000 square miles of Canadian forest and destroys 10,000,000 cords of timber cach year, The weapon used against the budworm is a fly known scientific- ally as phytodictus fumiferance, which destroyed the budworm lar- va, and now is being distributed by the tens of thousands from the department's parasite laboratory at Belleville, Ont. Officials said the budworm is threatening valuable white spruce in an arc running from eastern Manitoba to northwestern New Brunswick and slicing into New York and Vermont, and already has destroyed all the balsam and S0 to 60 per cent of the white spruce in an arca of 25,000 square miles, The budworm defoliates the trees by consuming spruce needles, thus limiting their growth and killing them by successive annual attacks. In whole areas, rich stands of tim- ber have been reduced to bare poles of rotting ood. The fly used against the worm has been imported from British Columbia, where it has kept the worm under control, and propagat- ed in the Belleville laboratories. The Bookshelf. Success On the Small Farm By Haydn S. Pearson The farmer of today is as cager to provide his family with the ne- cessities, the comforts and the mi- nor luxuries of life as the city dweller. Mr, Pearson is convinced that he should and -an carn suffi- cient income to do this. Accord- ingly, he offers in this book a spe- cific, practical program for mak- ing. a cash profit of $3,000 a year from a one-man farm of ten or twelve acres. ' Haydn S. Pearson has dealt with the problems of farm life at first hand for twenty years. He is firmly convinced that the opportu- nity to make a good living on a ten or twelve-acre place is brighter now than ever hefc His hook is addressed primarily to the begin- ner who has limited capital and must, therefore, make the safest and most efficient start.

"I tried three different banks," he reported indignantly; "and the very first thing every one of them want- ed to know was how soon 1 ex- pected to pay them the noney back. I call that a heck of.a way to lend a guy dough! 1!" + * * Horse-racing undoubtedly at- tracts--and more _or less supports --more queer characters than any other sport; and not the least in- teresting of these are the ones known as "stoopers." Visit any race-track and you are apt to sce certain men moving slowly through the crowd, eyes eagerly scanning the ground, and paying not the slightest attention to anything that goes on around them, or on the vacing-strip itself. Watching them, you quite possibly get the idea that some jewel of great price has been lost, and that they're searching for it. ' « * * ) But they're not. They're merely stoopers, engaged in their quaint profession of seeking for mutuel tickets that have a value, and that have been either lost or--more likely --carelessly tossed aside by their original owners. And we have been told that some of them don't do so badly for themselves, at that, although it is by no means such a thing as we'd advise any ambitious young man to adopt as a lifetime calling. * + * To be a successful stooper you need eyes like a hawk--and a mem- ory like an elephant. This last is highly important, because quite frequently some race-track patron will discover in his clothes a mu- tuel ticket days, weeks, sometimes even months old. Possibly not even remembering what horse it repre- sents a bet on--or perhaps think- ing that, because of its age, it has lost its valuc--said patron casts said pasteboard to the winds, and it falls to the ground to be trampled among thousands of other discards. * # + Jut just let a high-class stooper, with a properly photographic mem- ory, happen along. Like a flash he recognizes that one ticket, from among all those worthless thou- sands, as an article of value. In no time at all it is in his pocket; and before very long he will he at the payoff window, cashing im -on his surperior knowledge. * * * Harvest-time for stoopers is right after a disqualification has taken place. As you probably know, a sizeable percentage of race-track bettors have the habit of relieving their feelings, when they see the steed they backed to win finish second, by dashing their tickets to the ground. Then they move on in search of liquid solace and some- Neg dol, -§ Mf » IS ("A Six Bit Critic") oo thing in the next race that will get them even. A little later, when they discover that--Dby reason of a dis- quahification--their horse has been placed first, they dash madly back to the spot they had quitted and make a frenzied search for those now valuable pasteboards, But they seldom succeed in finding them-- some quick-thinking stooper has been ahead of them. : * + * Those hotheads who tear up tickets before discarding them are not looked upon with favor by the fraternity of stoopers. Too much trouble piccing and pasting them together again, However, stoopers are blessed with the virtue of paticnce--and have all the time there is---so they frequently suc- ceed, and cash on what might be called "rebuilt" tickets. * * * Occasionally they run into a real bonanza. One stooper told us a tale of such a happening--the tale of a lady racing ran whose memory he still fondly cherished. "She was a big fat dame who looked like she had plenty of dough," he said; and every day, in every race, she would buy herself one of those six-dollar combination tickets on the favorite. Then, if the favorite finished any- where else but in front, she would toss this ticket away--and I would be right there ready to pick it up." + + * Here the -stooper paused and mused for a moment. "1 guess I'd be wealthy now," he witsfully added, "if some dirty jerk hadn't gone and wised this dame up that you can collect place and show money on a combination ticket, if your horse runs sccond or third. But some crook's always trying to louse things up for us hard-work- my, legitimate guys." + * * - Which is about all for now re- garding stoo p Crs ~~ and quite enough, too, says you! Farmers Allowed Fairer Income Tax Me. Hsley's proposal to allow farmers and fishermen to average returns over three years for income tax purposes should meet approval, says the Fmancial Post. It is in line with suggestions made by farmer organizations and with common sense, Farming and fishing are unlike almost any other industries in that it is impossible in most operations to estimate in advance total produc- tion or income. In ycars of good harvests or big catches production may be two to ten times that of a lean season and much of the extra returns in the former are needed to permit continuing operations when nature refuses to co-operate. There is little man can do "to, produce commercial crops or hig hauls of fish unless weather is favorable. Again, there are certain farm operations like livestock raising which do not fit into a yearly cycle. Crops are grown this Summer to be marketed in the form of livestock next year or later, It may take sev- sral years to build up a pure-bred herd before any sales are mads. The only fair income tax in such cases is one based on the average returns over a period of years. "Mileage Millionaires" British Overseas Airways Cor- poration has a name for 52 of its pilots -- "mileage millionaires." Each has flown more than 1,000, 000 miles, ass The Cattalo: New Breed of Cattle Distinctive Breed of Beef Cattle Withstands Rigors of Canadian Winters Canadian cattlemen wanted a new breed of cattle. They wanted a breed that could withstand. the sub-zero winters and swirling bliz- zards of the western provinces, Ia a storm cattle huddled with their hindquarters facing the wind, and often smothered in the thick snow. When recumbent cows and steers tried to get up, they instinctively tried wo gaise their~ hindquarters first, Often weakened by storms and scanty winter feeding, they fell on their faces, starved to death, says Time, Cattlemen observed the habits of the buffalo, It fared the storm; it got up head first. Why not cross- breed buffalo and domestic cattle? The Dominion Experimental Farm at Wainwright, Alta., tried it, Crossed With Buffalo First they bred a buffalo bull with a domestic cow found that the calf's disproportionately big head and shoulders killed three out of four cows at birth. Then they crossed domestic bul = with buffalo cows, and normal births ensued, But there was one drawback; the first hybrids were steri'e. Never- theless the breeders persisted. They crossed Aberdeen Angus, Shorthorn and Hereford stock with buffalo. The ofisprings were called cattalo, First generation cat talos looked hke king-sized cattle with a marked shoulder hump, By the third generation the hump had heen bred out, reproduction bred mm. So crosshreeding was dropped for straight cattalo-raising, Success at Last By last week, after 25 years of experiment, the Dominion Experi- mental Farm had gone far toward establishing the fact that Canadian cattle could be successfully buffas loed. Browsmg in a special en- closure in the Wainwright Buffalo Park were 75 precious, sturdy calves born this spring. They were true cattalo, not hybrids but a dis= tinctive breed. The experts were finally sure that they had taken the cattalo out of the mule's bio- logical dead end. Today's cattalo looks more like a bull than a buffalo, but it has ine herited the buffalo's robust qualis ties. It is bigger than a domestic bull, can stand cold much better, In--weather which would freeze cat= tle to death, the cattalo survives. Bred -trictly for beef, not milk, the cattelo weighs up to 1 1-2 times the average steer. Last year cate talo meat was sold on public mar- kets and nobody knew the differ= ence. Last week A. S. McLellan, Government animal husbandry exe pert who has been mating cattalo for 14 years, said happily: "We've sot what we were after." HOLD EVERYTHING COMM 1548 BY MA BERVICE, INC T. MALOU. fA PAT, OFF, "Pull over to the curb!" 450 Million Bushels Is Prairie Prospect I'rom the Northwestern Ontario horder to the rose last week that Western Can- ada's Prairies would yield "better than average" crops to restock the nation's almost empty granaries, The optimism was tempered by realization that harvest time was still weeks away and in those weeks nature, storm, discase and pests could despoil the fertile' lands, But on the face of affairs the farmers' confidence was not without reason. Approximately 23,650,000 acres have been sown to wheat in the three provinces---3,000,000 acres more than Ottawa sought in its long-term plan for starvation relief in Europe and Asia. If all goes well as much as 450,000,000 bushels might be harvested. But to reach that figure a lot of good fortune would be nceded. A gencral picture of the three provinces shows wheat averaging about 18 inches in height and 80 per cent in shotblade. More tham 25 per cent is in hed. This time last ycar it was shorter and lictween 60-70 per cent in shothlade although some was reported in head in Manis toba as carly as July 4. It was neac- ly the end of July before it gem erally was in head.
