Some Notes from the Exâ€" perimental Farm at Kapusâ€" kasing This week The Advance has receivâ€" ed the following from Mr. L, H. Hanâ€" lan, of the Experimental Station at Kapuskasing, which will no doubt be of interest and value to the settlers of the North:â€" Oats form one of the main field crops grown in Canada at the present time. In fact the official figures for this crop in 1928 equalled 13, 136, 516 acres. They are a crop which can be successfully produced under a very wide range of climatic and soil conditions, and owing to this fact sufficient attenâ€" tion ma ynot always be given to such important factors as the selection of the most suitable varieties for a partiâ€" cular district. At the Dominion Experimental Staâ€" tion, Kapuskasing, Ontario, over A sevenâ€"year period, the Alaska variety has given an average yield of 52 bushels and 26 pounds per acre, while the Banâ€" ner variety has given an average of 60 bushels and 1 pound per acre over the same period. This is an advantage for Banner of 7 bushels and 9 pounds per acre in actual yield of grain. But yvield of grain is not the only factor which should be considered, particularâ€" ly in a northern area where the growâ€" ’ing period is made more or less limited. For example it required an average period of 124 days for the Banner varâ€" iety to reach maturity, while the Alaska variety matured in 112 days, 12 days earlier. There is also a marked difâ€" ference in the percentage of hull beâ€" tween these two varieties and assuming that the Banner variety contains 6 per cent. more hull than the Alaska, which is about the usual difference, it is found that the Banner has given only l68 pounds more of actual meat per acre than the Alaska. From observation it would appear as though this extra yield is more than offset by the great advantage of 12 days earlier maturity. Consequently, any farmers who are finding difficulty in maturing the later varieties of oats, such as Banner, Vicâ€" tory, O.A.C. No. 72, etc., would be well advised as to try some earlier maturing sort, such as Alaska, or O.A.C. No. 3. Railway to Link Amos With the City of Quebec Construction on the Abitibi Southâ€" ern Railway, which will connect Amos, Que., in the Northern Mining Area, with Maniwaki, Hull and Ottawa will be commenced upon May first next. This announcement is made by Mr. Clifford T. McAllister, wellâ€"known finâ€" ancier, who has arranged the financing of the construction of the important new railway line which will be 240 miles long and is to cost in the neighâ€" bourhood of $10,000,000. It is understood that General Motors together with a number of wellâ€"known Canadian financial interests are beâ€" hind the new railway which will open up territory of 8,500,000 square miles, where there is valuable timber, fine agricultural possibilitiee and mineral resources. The head office of the Abpitibi Southâ€" ern Railway Company will be in Monâ€" treal. The railway will take three years to build, and its potentialities for the industrial expansion of the disâ€" trict are admitted to be great. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO GOVERNMENT GRITIGIZED ABOUT NAMES OF PLAGES Dnfficult and Awkward Names in New Districts Cause Annoyance. _ A "Bullâ€"headed â€" Governmental Bull." Names have perpetual fascination, â€"or otherwiseâ€"and this appears to be doubly true of place names. Some names are easy to say and easy to reâ€" member, and around them grow up ideas and ideals that seem naturally connected with the town or city named On the other hand it is a fact that a town has actually been hindered by the name given it. Of course, even bad name need not necessarily hold a good town down. The chances are that the name would be changed before serious injury occurred. A distinctive name is a decided asset whether it be "Toronto® (rather harsh and uncouth), or "Kaâ€" puskasing" (a little too long and involvâ€" ed, perhaps) or "Victoria," (with its historical associations). A writer in The Pas Herald last week had a very interesting article on place names in the West, with particular reference to the apparent stupidity of Governmental agencies in forcing cerâ€" tain names on certain places. Thne article in full is as follows:â€" "In view of the elaborate programme‘ under consideration for the building of | railroads, highways, power plants, in the Northland, it is becoming very| evident that a revision of the present‘ Government maps would be of great advantage. When we examine the sitâ€" uation in the mining areas it is apparâ€" ent that "all is not as it seems." system of assembling mineral claims; "In spite of local usage, the governâ€" ment continues to issue maps with their own selected names, and insist that the public use them, right or wrong. _ A notice prominently displayed in our own post office last summer announced that "Kississing" was the correst name for Cold Lake, and that any mail addressed to "Cold Lake, Man., would be sent to Cold Lake, Alberta! If that was not an Irish "bull" there was enough bull in it to show a bullâ€"headed attitude in the matter. The spoken language O° the country, however, ignors such names and the inconvenience is mostly felt by those whose duty it is to make out official documents in duplicate, triâ€" plicate, quadruplicate, etc., it being frequently necessary to put two names on each document in order to avoid complications. Another sufferer from outlandish map names is the traveller who takes a chance on finding his way through an intricate lake country with on the maps from indefinite informaâ€" tion is troublesome, but is probably unâ€" avoidable under the present conditions and may be remedied by the new rules of staking. The choice of names O1 places, however, is less excusable, and is causing a lot of unnecessary confusâ€" ion. Travellers, prospectors, engineers, etc., want names which are familiar and can be easily remembered. The vague and unpronouncable names selected by the map designers are not convenient and have, in many cases, been discarded by the many users in favour of more simple and intelligible words. a map as his only guide, he gets all twisted up and is eventually rescued by some lone trapper who brings him back to his senses and civilization. "It has often been truly said that the simplest way is the easiest. What can be easier to remember than "Lobstick" or Cold," they are not so amorous sounding as ‘Kisseynew" or "Kississing" but are much more practical. "Herb and "Sturgeon" are more familiar than "Wekusko" and "Namew" and can . be retained in the mind when the latter are forgotten. "Amisk" as a substitute for "Beaver‘" is another one; and so on through the official geographical dicâ€" tionary. It is worth noting, however, that the government seems in two minds about Wekusko Lake for, though it refers to the lake by that name, the station is marked on the map as "Herb Lake P.O." It may be that they will come round to the popular way by such gradual concessions. "Then again, we see along the line of the Hudson Bay Railway a row of names, the derivation or meaning of which nobody knows, except perhaps, the godfathers thereof. Cupis, Watis, Kinapik, Sekip, etc., may be suitable names for Pullmans or things that may be conveniently forgotten but are not appropriate in a country where the strenuous life requires a language withâ€" out kinks. The weary traveller needs something definite to indicate where he gets on or off the train.

The reasonable way would seem to be to leave the selection of place names to those who live and have their business in the mining counâ€" try, it is the most convenient way and would save the official cartographers considerable mental strain selecting words that do not fit. Andâ€"lest we forgetâ€"it should be strongly representâ€" ed to the authorities at G.H.Q., that one proper name is ample for this town, and citizens do not like to see it reâ€" ferred to officially as The Pas, alias Le Pas."

Howl for Free Speech But Refuse Same to Others Much has been heard lately from thel communists regarding the rights of | "free speech" in this British country.i Apart from the fact that "free speech" has not been interferred with, but only disloyal license stopped, it has been pointed out that the communists themâ€" selves are not at all disposed to allowâ€" ing anyone else the right of free speech | or. showing any other form of tolerâ€". ance of the opinion of others. A strikâ€"| ing example of this tyranny and intolâ€" | erance is referred to in the following | editorial from The Toronto Globe lasti week. The Globe says:â€" | "The Reds themselves just wrote the funniest chapter in the story of the present fight for free speech for Bolâ€" shevism.â€" The late Chairman of the Canadian Communist Party on Tuesâ€" day night explained in the same theaâ€" tre which witnessed the recent tearâ€" bomb episode just why he was now an outcast from the party. Incidentally, he gave an insight into the Soviet idea of free and liberty of acton. "Comrade Spector frankly admitted. that he had commited the unforgivable. sinâ€"he had opposed the will of the majority. He had advocated the return of Trotsky. Immediately the long arm of Moscow reached out to Toronto. Mr. Spector found himself out in the cold.. Of course, his expulsion followed a ‘free vote." As he explained, it was "vote freely, but if you vote against the expulsion you will be expelled yourself." "The speaker explained that the local Bolsheviki were just now waging the fight for free speech in Toronto, or otherwiss "would have come to the meeting and tried to suppress it with blackjacks and bricks, as they had done in the United States." "A goodly number of policemen were on hand to see that the exâ€"Comrade‘s remarks on free speech did not end in a freeâ€"forâ€"all fight."

Lady Minto is a splendid horsewoman, and when at their Border home hunts regularly with the Duke of Buccleuch‘s. There is a strange story connected with Minto House. The first Earl of Minto, a Governorâ€"General of India, was for years after his death thought to be alive by people in the Border country. They imagined that some occurrences in India had made it necessary for him to hide. Minto House had been enlargâ€" ed, and he was believed to live in secret apartments. Actually he died in 1814 at an inn on the road to Scotland, whither he was returning from India.
