stouffville ontario january 23 1936 possible to plan a rotation in which liming is done for other crops and potatoes included after a five year period another plan is to choose scab resistant varieties of which there are a few offered unfortun- ately these are not such high yielders though in course of time strains may be developed that combine productiveness with disease resistance as already accomplished m wheat stiver bros farmers information ontario colt clubs middlesex county with five foal clubs showing si colts in club work during 1935 leads ontario the next highest county is

melbourne ildertou parkhill glencoe and thorndale xx xx xx avoid scab in potatoes there is more than fertility of soil to be considered in crop pro duction potato growers can in crease their yields by the applica tion of fertilizer this crop being one that responds readily to the right formulas markets demand more than volume however and a scabcovered lot of tubers are likely to be rejected by dealers the germs of this disease are usually present in soils on which potatoes have been grown for some years the con tinuous planting adding to the trouble the seed may be treated with formaldehyde or corrosive sublimate but if placed in infect ed ground the scab will promptly appear if lime has been applied within the previous year or two the conditions are even more favorable for the development of the disease the application of lime is re commended in order to stimulate the growth of clover and alfalfa the two crops that are well fitted to improve the soil when turned under the problem of that grower is to decide whether to continue to grow potatoes without this green manuring and avoid scab or to lime the ground and take chances where potatoes are not a main crop it is better not there came to me a thought quite rank that i might go and rob a bank twould be an easy thing then id have ducats in my jeans and eat cream puffs and pork and beans and loaf until the spring i thought id get a book of rules and buy myself some robbers tools and likewise hire a gun the thing seemed simple as i thought and i pursued my wicked plot twould be so easy done but i read in the news today of robbers who went on their way they tried to rob a bank of sa wedoff guns they had a load as they drove out the country road twas like an armored tank the village folk all saw them there said how it was a bad affair they grabbed their shotguns too they looked upon this wicket gang the lead flew with a noisy bang one thug was shot clean through the constibule was in the group he locked them in the village coop they fed them bread and tea next day in court were three tame men the bench turned up and sentenced them theyre in till fortythree the foolish thoughts gone from my tank that i might go and rob a bank and from hard times be free i fear the village folk might come and some man with a monster gun might shoot a hole in me gormley on sunday miss j e feard city mission worker

proportion of stores to population is highest in british columbia where there is a retail shop to every 73 persons and low est in manitoba where there are more than one hundred people to every store it might be thought that retail stores would be relative ly the most numerous in the larger cities and yet the figures show that there are more stores in relation to population in places of 1000 to 10- 000 population than in cities of over 100000 compared with the average of 83 persons per store for the country as a whole there are only 53 people to each shop in places of 1000 to 10000 and 72 persons per store in cities of over 100000 of course in the rural sections there is relatively the least number of stores and the average for places under 1000 is 112 persons per store this

the dionue quin- 1 tuplets nearly 1000 a month to live but young as they are the famous five not only earn that sum but a great deal more this state ment is made by claire wallace in an article entitled whats ahead for the quints in the november 15 number of macleans magazine iu which she tells not only the present huge earnings of the famous five but also points out what they are likely to earn in the near future the articlo states in part if the famed daughters of mr and mrs dionne had been born as two three or even four their lives would have gone on very much as other children being five that is impossible being five they are worth a great deal of money and will he worth more every day they can remain five as their health is so important to their moneypro ducing possibilities if one died or was discovered to be not quite nor mal their pictures would not be in such demand and their earning pow er would be cut considerably they cannot be brought up as other girls allowed the freedom of mixing with other children and taking chances on getting ordinary colds or childish diseases moneymaking and upbringing the rocks upon which the relatives and guardians have split here they have not yet been able to reach an agreement and only time will solve the diiticulties oliva dionne believes he should have control of the babies accumulated funds while the first board of guardians was in existence consisting of oliva his father oliver who has dropped out of the battle and is living quietly in callander w h aldeison g k morrison and dr dafoe the quintuplets bank account mounted to 28000 which oliva thinks was pretty good when the government stepped in last spring to take charge and appoint its own board of guardians the latter accepted contracts for the quintuplets that would bring them 200000 in the course of a few months or a year thus the govern ment is satisfied with the present situation financially and looks forward to doubling and trebling the babies wealth within a short time the present financial position of the 12monthold ibabies is that by the spring of 193g they will have taken in 200000 in cash on con tracts signed since the government made them its legal wards most of the money has already been turned in and within a few months ail wil be placed to their credit by that time it is probable that anquter 100000 will be added to the sum particularly if the children enter the motion picture business their money has been made by endorsing foods they use and by allowing their names and pictures to be used for advertising purpos es early in the life of the qun- tuplets the newspaper enterprise association stepped in to capture all photograph rights it is said they will pay the quintuplets 50000 for this privilege and a royalty on all photographs published from the nea the toronto daily star acquired rights to handle all pictures published in canada sett ling with the nea but also adding many thousands to the quintuplets hank roll syrup milk and cereal firms add now to the income and as the needs in food and clothing grow greater it will be possible for the five to endorse more articles and make more and more money many offers deemed unfair financially or unwise from a health standpoint are turned down by the government and board of guardians sometimes several a week are re fused for always the health and safety of the babies are weighed before any contracts are undertaken early in may of this year the quintuplets estate was valued at 150000 gathered from such sources as the following pathe pictures for making two tworeeled films 7974 paid and aj balance of over s2000 to come nea for photograph rights 3650 paid with more to follow toronto daily star for canadian photos 1598 more to follow george s dinle for
