CROP OF CLUES FOR CEREAL SLEUTHS Canbridge Scientists All Ready To Find New Wheat London.--The Scotland Yard of agriculture is about to make impor- tant discoveries. It is making a re- gular harvest of clues. At the moment, the chief anxiety is to prevent the sparrows eating the clues. Unlike most detective stories, this one is to be found not in serials, but in cereals. Their plots are carefully ar- ranged ones, guarded by scare- crows. The sleuth-hounds are the experts.of the National Institute of Agricultural Botany. The Institute fulfils a unique function in this country, and if only the farmers would take advantag of it--and it is there purely for their benefit--they could increas their returns by 5 per cent--an im- provement of £1,000000 a year to the industry The aim of the Institute is to im- prove the yield and quality of farm crops by the encouragement of bet- ter varieties and better seeds. Around the Institute at the mo- ment are hundreds of cereals in trial plots and thousands of observation plots laid out to detect the good, bad. and indifferent. The crops are on the point of har- vest. As many of the varieties which they are testing are earlier than the local crops, all the sparrows in Cambridgeshire have discovered it as a happy hunting ground and squads of boys with shot-guns and rattles are patrolling the fields from morning till night, scaring them from the laden ears of corn in which every seed is important to the test. Mr, Wilfred Parker, the Director of this Institute, which with its trial stations throughout the country, em- ploys 80 people, explained to me the extraordinarily careful and elaborate process of sowing and reaping which is necessary for the accur- acy of the tests, Seeds to be tested, and the trol seed," a known variety which gives an accurate comparison, arc planted alongside in rows of sixteen, and eight of that sixteen are. dis- carded as a margin of accuracy, The rest are harvested in sheaves, bound with different colored twine, and the seeds are carefully counted, examined and tested for yield value and diet value. Wheat is sent to the millers, | baked 1w» loaves of bread. t \ cit to the workers of the brewers and malted. Oats is a more difficult proposi- tion, because there is no research body--even in Scotland--which ex- periments on porridge. From the information they gather and ig co-operation with the stations throughout the country (where the results from the various types of land can be tested) they can advise "con test- test research farmers exactly what type of grain is suitable for their farms and which will give the greatest yields and best resist the weather. Part of the important business of this "Scotland-Yard" is detection of frauds--or mistakes--of seedsmen. At the Potato Testing Station at Ormskirk, Lancashire, they found that 70-per cent of the new and fancy varicties of potatoes produced and Sold at new and fancy prices were merely old favorites with the names changed. The "Cereal Synonym Tests" are now being carried out by the "Big Six" of cereals presided over by Mr. A. W. Slade, of the National Unlon of Farmers, and including Sir Row- land Biffen, Dr. Hunter, Mr. T. E. Miln, Col. Temperley and Mr. Parker b SEEK BEAR TAX (By The Canadian Press) Winnipeg, Man. -- Manitoba's tax experts have suddenly dis- covered the province was losing nioney on exportation of bear cubs, and has levied an export tax of five dollars per head on the animals. Perusal of old records re- vealed that dozens of young bears are shipped from the prov- ince each year to parks, zoos and circuses at #35 to $50, and the only revenue the province received was a 40- cent royalty.

The faithfulness and self-sacrifice, that is the corner some others hang their heads in shame for their indifference. It is not the spirit of flag waving patriotism, or the giddy shouting of the fervent recruiting officer, that makes the Legion, such a force in Canada today, but loyalty, brother- hood and sympathy. It is natural to put the thought of war as far away. as possible but must not be disregarded. The next generation will be paying off the huge war debt long after the present is gone but right now there is a humanitarian debt that the citizens of today alone can discharge. The wreckage cast up by the storm must be conserved, brought back to usefulness, and nor- mality, The Canadian Legion knows the very heart and soul of the pension- ers and the hospital cases. It is more able to help than anyone. The veterans who have not identified themselves with the Legion are shirking. Tt is a hard word, to use because it has real significance to an ex-soldier. But when he has the memories of 1914-18 always with him surely he can help his conscience by doing a bit to alleviate the suffer- ings of those who were not so for- tunate. POPE IGNORING SPANISH DEGREES | Cardinal Segura, Deported | Primate, Issues Pas- toral Letter | | Madrid, Aug. 25 -- The Catholic | Church refused to recognize the validity of recent decrees of the Spanish Government affecting the status of religious orders, a pastoral letter issued recently by the deport- | ed Primate, Cardinal Segura, said. | "We have witnessed in our coun- | try the proof that it is returning to EE EE SZ EcE Em er r a "Garton" Bus For T= _-- That A Personal Messsage from Mr. Garton to the Legion With His Best brutalized paganism with gant strides," the letter said. It was is- sued from the Monastery of Our Lady of Bel-Loo, in France, where the Primate is now residing. The Constitutional Assembly, now | in session, has been considering pro- | posals for dissolution of Spanish re- | ligious orders and nationalization of | church property. The (pvernment advocates a policy of separation of church and state and deported Card- mal Segura on charges of political activity, The pastoral letter enumerated the rights demanded by the church, in- cluding "those granted by Jesus Christ such as buying, possessing, keeping and admiinstering all classes of temporal property," The Cardinal concluded with the significant statement that the church would defend its rights. "In defense of its rights the church does not possess armies nor air- planes, but it has two weapons," the letter said. "The first lies in the hands of the Divine Founder. The second is in canonical punishments." The Cardinal added that "history confirms the efficacy of excommuni- cation," considered an indirect threat to excommunicate the Republican leaders of Spain who have sought to end the influence exerted by the church under the monarchy. A commussion of Catholics protest- ed to President Niceto Alcala Za- mora against the proposed dissolu- tion of religious orders and nation- alization of religious property. The President told them he did not believe the project would be passed by the Constitutional Assem- bly and added that the commission "should be more concerned by the intolerable attitude of the ight (Conservative) elements." LINDBERGHS ARE SAFE IN JAPAN Had Fuel For One Hour When They Landed Nemuro, Japan, Aug. 25-Col. onel' and Mrs, Charles A. Lind- bergh arrived here to-day after an all-night stop on the Island of Kunashiri, where they were fore- ed down by fogs for the third time since leaving the Kamchatka Peninsula. They landed here at .51 (5.51 p.m, Sunday E.S.T.). The arrival of the Lindberghs had been awaited here for almost a week, the thick fog over the Kurile Island chain, lying north of the main islands of Japan, hav- ing delayed them. Sunday afternoon they left Shana, on Iturup Island, for Ne- muro, but ran into thick fog which forced them to land on Annoro Lagoon, the southwes- tern sip of Kunashiri Island, about 40 miles north of here. Mrs, Lindbergh, after some difi- culty in determining their loca- tion, radioed that they were about two miles from the Village of To- futsu and had about one hour's fuel supply in the tanks of the plane when they landed at 5.30 pm. : a.m. Convention Dates August 26, 27 Welcome "4 EARL JELLICO and delegates of the 5th Annual Convention of Canadian Legion , 28th 1931 E the 'Province of Ontario Command { hi city of Oshawa is proud to be chosen as the scene of your 1931 convention happy to offer you the freedom of the city and to honor your distinguished patron, Earl Jellicoe, formerly Ad. miral of the fleet.
