The weather-conscious knows that it is never possible at this stage of the year to make predictions about the probable ef- fect of weather upon crop produc- ion. The acreage he seeds has al- ready been decided -- a decision based on current grain prices, the huge wheat surplus and new Wheat Board regulations on quotas and forage. crops. But how the crop will come up is another matter. The farmer knows that once he gets his seed into the ground, the most impor- tant factor is the soring rainfall and its incidence dr ~~ the grow- ing season.

U.S. drought areas now are turning green again, the re- sult of steady rainfall in the past few weeks. One factor, which may or may not substantially affect 1957 crop production, is the soil"s' mosture reserves. Crops need from previous sub-soil moisture precipitation to carry the plan right through to harvest In the event of lean spring rains. These reserves give the farmer a lot of "ifs" to pon- der. FALL RAINS FACTOR Last year's fall rains constitute the reserves of moisture available for the coming crop harvested from acreage seeded on stubble lands this spring. The 1956 fall rains, plus the rainfall on that year's growing season, and rains of the fall before that, make up moisture reserves for crops to be farmer | By JACK BRAYLEY {of a new Juesmiined Romanian 3 ; Canadian Press Staff Writer government, the news agency eptember and October last year, ger SE Wo on" stubble "and _summer-fallowed!

But in Saskatchewan research department . authorities of the Searle Grain Company say that the below-normal reserves in- dicated by their figures, suggest that better than average rains will have to occur during the coming growing season --from April 1 to July 31--if an average crop is to be harvested there. Just how important to crops are the moisture reserves? Their only need is in a season of limited spring rainfall. And a comparison of wheat yields in such seasons, as shown in a Searle study, shows that last year's crop--a near rec- ord yield of 26.2 bushels an acre ~was produced on a previous fall moisture reserve of only. 65 per cent of normal. This was due to the spacing of the growing season rain. It was {near perfect and though on June 12 figures showed that the spring rainfall for he Prairies was then 48 per cent of normal. what looked like a disastrous year was saved by good rains three days later. Indian In UNEF Leams Of Canada From Canadian Comrades By JACK BRAYLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer EL BALLAH, Egypt (CP)--Be- fore Cpl. Mehar Singh became a military policeman in the United Nations only knowledge he had of Cana- dians came from the movies, "I thought of Canada has hay- ing lots of mountains and Moun- fies with red coats chasing Indi- ans," the tall handsome Punjabi corporal explaine®. "I also thought you were very serious and stiff like the British." The Indian smiled, twisted his guards moustache and continued: "But now I've met them and am working with them, I have a 'f- ferent idea altogether.

COMPOSITE PROVOST The 24-year-old corporal belongs to a composite provost detachment of Indians, Canadians, Danes, Col- ombians and Brazilians. He's enthusiastic about Canada --even the food, although it isn't hotly seasoned like his own. In fact, he'd like to go to Canada some day. "As far as that goes, I'd like to go to India," says Staff Sgt. Wal- ter Gatehouse of Ottawa. "We've come to know the Indians and re- spect them.

Abolishes | Death Penalty LONDON (Reuters) -- Britain Thursday abolished the death pen- ally except for 'those types of murder likely to endanger public order. Life imprisonment becomes the penalty for all other types of murder including poisoning. A bill, which has been passed through both Houses of Parlia- ment without amendment, became law with the granting of the royal assent. This was formally done in the House of Lords Thursday night by a royal commission acting on be- half of the Qizen. The bill confines the death pen- | alty of hanging to certain types of murder, to be known as capital | murders. These include murder commit. ted in the course of theft, resist- ing, avoiding or escaping from arrest, or by shooting or causing explosions. Those who kill a sec- ond time or murder a policeman or prison ofiicer also will be lia- ble to the death penalty.
