Rapid Growth on the Western Coast Dear Mr. Editor: I beg of you, sir, to allow me to express an opinion, which is not sin- gular among those who contribute to a worthy cause, Since I know that many others share this opinion, I cannot refrain from saying how much I disapprove of the "a]l-too-common" practice of publish-| ing lists of those who contribute, along with the amount contributed to this or that 'cause'. I find that on the part of those who cannot afford to give 'much', there is a great deal of em- barrassment. On the other hand those who can find it possible to give more are greatly appreciated for their gen- erosity. The Hospital Fund is a very worthy cause and needs the support of . every person, i We hear a lot about the necessity of establishing a post-war world on the: basis of Christian principles. Now it! seems to me that the publication of: such lists as in last week's paper is directly contrary to Christian pri ciples. Would it not be better publish the lists of names without the amount given, opposite each, and then indicate the total? Once when Christ was in the temple he watched the people mak- ing their offering. Remember the widow's mite. "All they did cast in of their abundance, but she of her poverty did cast in all that she had." For the citizens of 'Port Perry the "widow's mite" may amount to one dollar or five or a thousand dollars. But that is not the point at issue, This is rather to urgs those in author- ity to see that this project is carried hrough without embarrassment to! anyone, and in accordance with sound\ Christian principles, Sincerel KEENLY 1 Port Perry, Oct. 18, ----e sre +e ONTARIO PLOWMEN MADE GOOD SHOWING AT INTERNATIONAL MATCH Four Ontario farmers were winners of top honours at the International event held at Port Albert.

Yesterday I weighed a group of 100 cockerels at 14 weeks of age and they averaged 4.9 Ibs, in weight. Some of the larger individuals went over 6% Ibs."

Seience is doing a splendid piece of work in increasing sustenance. Religious leaders, edu- catoors, and parents are not doing so well in obtaining and maintaining peace, [larly tribes of man were not "root- ed" to any particular place. They took "all they could from a district; and then drove their stock to greener pastures if they were lucky or strong enough to drive out those already in possession of the coveted territory. If they were not lucky, they and their herds did-- cand that was that, | To-day we are "rooted", and, be- cause we have Jearned how, we have in large measure quit robbing the soil, for we have found that it did not pay. Instead, progressive farmers test their soil, and supply the deficiencies. That testing is most enlightening. It used to be considered that a coat of barnyard manure was all that was necessary to enrich the soil (and it still is the mainstay fertilizer); but "there are many other elements needed lin food production--phosphorus, nit- 'rates, nitrogen. The question is=-- "How much? and how to apply?" Science applied to industry has solved these problems, and when ferti- lizers are properly applied, the results seem almost miraculous. Discoveries of needed soil elements were mostly accidental. Grain grew more richly on the battlefields where bones were abundant. They supplied phosphorus, In the south-eastern States rock containing phosphorus is jerushed and treated with sulphurie acid result super-phosphate. Natural deposits of nitrogen were discovered 'in Chile. And now nitrogen can be lextracted from the air. So the story goes on. Those who [study the soil, and supply deficiencies, | profit greatly. Those who do not, keep jon robbing the soil and remain poor. HOW SMUT WAS CONQUERED. The story of the conquest of smut Here is a bit of the story as printed in "C. I. L, Oval". "Some 280 years ago a cargo of wheat was salvaged from a vessel that had sunk off Bristol. The wheat was biined, and was utterly unfit for bread. It was used for seed. That year all the wheat in England was {smutty except the crop harvested from the "brined seed". That was the origin of "brining" wheat. Over 140 years ago it was found that bunt did not germinate in water that had been left standing in a cop- per vessel, and later there were de- {veloped copper fungicides.
