The Dominion and Provincial Governments are urging every one to do a part, to assume a portion of the responsibility.

To-'d'ay I J A deputation representing the Federated Boards of * Trade of Ontario asked the Dominion Government this week to enact a daylight saving law for the whole ., of Canada, effective between the third Sunday in April and the `third Sunday in September. When daylight saving was tried in dif- . ferent parts of Canada it was pretty much of a failure owing to the lack of uniformity, but-1 Dominion legislation "would over-- '1 '4 J < u 1 u I 1 u come this difficulty. At this time when the urban municipalities are being urged to` play alargei-'4 part in production, the value oil daylight saving V becomes, `much . more evident than it has been ; heretofore. Throughout seeding , time and. harvest the farmer : ~m ak'es.use of every hour of day. i light without any l_eg_islation be- ing necessary, but with the fixed -hours of labor in towns and cities setting the clock ahead is the only way in which townspeople generally can be induced to make, larger use of the daylight hours. Were this _legislation to be put . into effect A throughout ' Canada, this yearyit should give a grea impetus.to the production `move- ment in towns and cities and so add materially to the yvealth of `the country. In connection with the produce tion `campaign a very important contribution can be. made by par- ents,a,nd_teachers in teaching the children to protect bird life. e'.1T1.n`0i.i.s.h.i th.0!!8h,.Q8..ssn9SS or a A desire for destruction manyhoys ruthlessly rob or. destroy nests" / _ . whenever an opportunity offers.

Potash at Durham A scientist who has been ex- perimenting. at the Durham cement plant claims to have made `a discovery of great im- portance. iI-I_e has found that pot- ash, which is almost priceless gsince` the war cut off the supply I | Canada as from Germany, can he made in a by-product from Canadian feldspar in the manu_ facture of`c-ement. .The cost of producingi it is cut to a mere fraction of the price before the war. P-otash used to be $36.00 a ton. _ Now ordinary commercial potash ranges from $250 to $600 per ton. By the newly discover- ed process the _ cost is so low even now that it is less than the freight charge paid on a ton of the imported German product before the war. The Durham people claim to be able to turn out_15 tons a day. They expect that all the Canadian cement workswill soon be making pot- ash as a by-product and the Ger- m-an product will be-entirely dri_ ven from the markethere.
