An echo of icntla timei when a vassal If he did not go tu war for his superio-s had to send n substitute or pay a Hum of money comes from Dumfriesshire, whore tho of Matthew, one might think that Je- Unctions of Norfolk Is exercising bet spcke very little about himself as the Saviour, and that in this way it w.-i.s very different fn.m the Gospel of John, where there i,re many fa- sages which refer to himself, such as "I am the Good Shepherd," "I am the True Vm." However, a more careful read- ir.g of thtj syr.optisti reveals the fact right as Baroness Herrloa of Terre gles to exact the tribute from the "feuars" of her patrimonial lands. l-'eu In .Scotland is the cominoi mode of land te.uurc, and lu fen-hold Ing proper the tenant, In addition to n substantial annual payment of money that behind the apparently impersonal i n re turn for the enjoyment of the narrative ere .s a .eal background ,,,. also obl , ea to pav ..,,. i.f -elf-consciousness.

Under the Feudal Casualties (Scot- land) Act, 1914, all such casualties that had not been redeemed or com- muted by January 1, 1930, were.to be extinguished and discharged, and it this Act under which the duchess is taking action.

The relation of Jesus to John the Haptist is very instructive. There- arc few tincr instances of self-efface- ment and self-sacrifice than that illus- initcil by John the Baptist as he calm- ly accept? the place of insignificanc.:-. "He uiust increase, l i' I must dc- creas--."

Farm Notes Cheese Production Decreased Last Year Cheese made In thli country ha shown steady Improvement year b; year siuco l->9;!, when grading began Seven years ago only 78% of the choose made was good enough to go Into tho llrst grade. Of the 1!)29 yield over 03% was of the first class These figure* were brought out by Mr. Joseph HnrgoBS, Chief of the Dl vision of Dairy Produce In the De partment of Agriculture at Ottawa before the Eastern Ontario Dairy men's Association. The bc:ison was marked particular ly In Ontario and on '..-! with a de creased production owing to the low yield nf milk due to poor pasture and shortage of water fi>n>-<-i|iient upon continued dry weather. The cheese graded for I ho year 1U28 showed a de- crease of 293,000 boxes or about 18%. -Mo. t of this decrease occurred after :' lifji!iniii(j of August and In i i mo:ith by month. In tho pro viuce of Ontario, where there are 730 factories In operation, the first grade amounted to 95.5% of the whole, which was intensely gratifying. He ferring to this situation Mr. Burgess maintained that the co-operation of the producer.-! with the makers was an Important factor in this happy re- sult. Mr. i;.ngi-:.s stressed the Im- portance of well built curing rooms. He referred to Hie excellence of tile curing room at the Cloverdnle factory In Prince Kdward County, which has the largest outpu^of any factory In the province east of Toronto. The cnn.-;; uction of this curing room, Mr. Hurgess stated, seems to bo the best thnt could be secured and cost some- thing over ?:"JO. The saving from the controlled temperature in this is e-itiniated to have been fully as a result of the saving in and the better quality of the chc-e.se turned out. Mr. Hurgoss strongly recnnun.-niN rlieese factory to sea to It that they have :he proper curing rooms. Hatching Dates on Egg Production The dates on which chicks are latched are believed to have some in- fluence on their production of eggs the following autumn. A project to study this question was mi- at tho SimniK.-iIaiid, H.C., Kxperlmental Station of tho Depart- nent of Agriculture. It was found hat the ea^.s from each bird of the March hatch returned iipproximately birty cents iiwre than each bird of ho April hatch, and fifty two cents more than each bird batched at the end of April. I.ate hatched birds, however, have been shown to have an ndvantai;i the second season although not enough to make up for the loss tho first year. According to tlie Supi Tin!- i, dent of the Station when net) the birds seltla down to work .iued a little each month on tho early hatched birds with one or two exceptions.

Aliens Dominating Alberta Oil Field British Public Urged by Geologist to Support Development London --In a paber road at the In- ftiltntlon of Petroleum Technologists, E. A. Cunningham Craig, an KnglisH. geologist well-known in Western Can- ida. scored the apathy of British capl- al!st.< in allowing an important oil- leld to pass under control of alens. Mr. Craig sounded an alarm In the 'ollowlng words: "It would be difficult, now for a 1 iritish company to acquire any large merest in the most promising A!- ji-rta oil a:-".u without paying high irlcea What I* required no \- la the urination of a fow large and well-or- ganised coiiiiianies, managed !n Can- ida by men with local knowledge and upported financially from Britain.

Movie Recipes Pauline Frederick, the Warner Bros, screen star, should write a book on the art of being a perfect hostess. I'layer.s working In a picture with the star are ofteu invited to enjoy the hos- pitality of the Frederick home when the day's work is finished. One of the most delightful phases of her charm as a hostess Is her ability to concoct an appetizing repast on short notice. Informal breakfast and late supper parties are favored by her and cooking Is her hobby. Here are a few of her favorite re- cipes: Date and Nut Muffins < One cup hot water, one cup sugar.

KIM tod eggs and paprika, Canadian Engineer Backs Waterway Montreal. f>o. C. McDonald, in hii retiring address as president of the Montreal Board of Trade, declared , that his view was that the St. Lawrence Deep Waterways schemo should ha proceeded with as soon as economic conditions warranted, and that the whole cost of the project should not he saddled on power de- velopments, Init should be shared by navigation interests or whatever In- terests would be benefitted. "It hardly seems reasonable to sup- pose," said Mr. McDcn..ld, "that after developing our waterway system from the time canoes were portaged over the rapids to the present 14-foot chan- nel, we are going to stand still at this stage of history and say that we sball not dig any deeper. "Our problem," said Mr. McDonald, "is to flnd out, if we can, -who is go- ing to benefit, and let them pay. K It is the Kuropean buyer, the traffic should bo made to pay, that is by tolls on shipping, as in case of the Panama ('anal. If it is the citizens of thi United States and Canada, it will b< necessary to put it on a businesi basis, estimate the respective propor- tions, and pay accordingly." Further in his remarks, Mr. Mc- Donald said: "My conclusion is that the power should bear only Its own burden of cost and that any further navigation development determined upon should be paM for by whichever of two ways might be fonn<< more suit- able: "1. By the traffic as is done in th Panama Canal, or "I 1 .

II, T. Gussow, Dominion botanist, stated in a lecture under the auspices of lha McGlIl chapter of the Sigma XI. Society in the Biological Building, on "Warfare with Plant Disease In Can- ada." Wheat rust alone caused a loss of some $25,000,000 yearly, the greatest amount being In 191C, when an esti- mated loss of 5l'00,000,000 was borno by western wheat growers, Mr. Qua- sow said in dealing with the economic- importance of plant disease. It was found that the spores which Infect the wheat travel by air, germ particles being collected by an air plane at a height of 8,000 f.et The great movement of the spores in northwards from n^ted States, where wheat maturing earlier gives rise to a great number of black rust spores, \\hich move north to attack Canadian cereals. It was impossible to erect a barrier against these, so that efforts hava been turned to the production of rust resisting varieties of wheat, of which some four have been discovered, though yielding a lesser quantity ol cereal. Jlr. Uiissow was optimistic concerning this avenue of plant re- soarch.
