More will be known about how plants grow, the role of light and influence of high and low tempera- tures on their groivtli. Plants may then be bred to take full advantage of natural soils and climate. The farmer will have simple, easy-to-use methods of measuring fertili7.er and water needs for his crops. This will enable him to predict yields with in it c h greater accuracy and he would be able to adjust the rate of application to a cost that would be profitable under exist ing farm

changed for strategic raw materials. Then, there is the give-away pro- gram. This lioivever. is on a relatively small scale and confined mainly to flood and drought stricken areas. Mr. Htiwe's opinion is that the normal business practic.e of soil- ing outright for Canadian dollars is mitch better. No doubt it is if it can be maintained: but that is by no means certain in view of the Com- petition that the American plans are presenting. and which. if President Eisenhower has his way, will become even more of a problem to Canada's export trade as time goes on.

In his semi-annual report to Congress, which is required under the Agricultural Development Act, the legislation that provided for the surplus disposal program, the Presi- dent noted that since the Act be- came operative in September 1954 33 billion worth of surplus commodi- ties had been sent abroad; nearly half of it was contracted for during the. first six months of this year. Of this huge quantity. just about half was sold on the foreign currency plan. Barter deals accounted for about a half-billion dollars worth; these, however, are not permitted for business with the Soviet Union and its satellite countries.

At present the law provides a ceiling of SIV2 billion for products sold for foreign currencies. The President has asked that this be doubled. lie feels that this would be

advantageous to those countries which need the products but which cannot find American dollars in which to pay for them and have no great amount of strategic materials to send in exchange. At the same time he has asked that the law be further amended to allow barter deals with Soviet bloc countries. The chances are that Congress will agree to the suggested changes: for there is a growing public demand for the disposal program to be stepped up, even if the tremendous suiplus-it still stands at 558 billion worth-has to be given away. In view of all this, it is difficult to share Mr. liowc's optimistic opinion that Canada can goon indefinitely doing ”business as usual".

Farming--In The Future

if all the experiments now being conducted by thousands of agricul- tural scientists in Canada and the U. S. proved succcssfill, what would farming of tomorrow be like? Look- ing into a crystal ball, some scien- tists have come tip with the follow- ing answers:

First, the .'ivci'agc farmer woitld know far more about his land and its capacity to produce than he knows today. Crop and livestock prodticers will be able to control both yields and quality in a. way now known only in the laboratory.

The future farmer would be able to judge each improved practice in terms of what it would pay him at the end of the year. He would know to the penny the difference in returns from one variety over another, or one level of fertilization over another.

All farming operations. from seed bed preparation through har- vest, will he done by machines. But there would probably be less machinery in the fields than to- day. Seed germination will be vast- ly improved so that growers could plant to ii stand with assurance there will be no need to replant.

There are many other new de- velopments on the books for the fai'm of tomorrow. says the C. I. L. publication, ”Agricultural N e w 8". But we must realize that we cannot jump into tomorrow without having tried the proven scientific farming methods of today. The future will then take care of itself by natural progression.

Summerside Carnival

Many gala events are scheduled for the first big four-day Summer- side Lobster Carnival which gets under way this afternoon, with the official opening by Mr. J. Watson MacNaiight, M.P. this evening. The entertainment features will include parades and band concerts, dancing, fireworks, midway. horse racing. soap box derby, fiddling and Step dancing contest, and, on Saturday, ii Maritime Invitation Track and Field Meet at Queen Elizabeth Park. Much careful planning has gone into the program, and with favorable weather the attendance should be very large and representative.

The Summerside Board of Trade is credited with having orig- inated the carnival idea but all the service clubs, and several other organizations. business firms and individual citizens of the Prince C o u n t y capital have been co- o p e r a t in g actively. It is a big undertaking, btit S u m m e r s i d e is noted for its initiative and it will have the best wishes of all otir citizens in making the celebration a success.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A farmer who tries to collar ll runaway pig is only wasting his time-that is, if the animal really means to stay out of reach. This was demonstrated the other day at a Pig Derby at Kcmptville. Ont. The winning runner covered 100 yards in 7.4 seconds, almost 2 seconds fast- er than the fastest human runner on record.

The House of Bishops of the Methodist Church has come tip with a new view on racial discrimination in the United States. The church leaders predict that it will gradual- ly become less in the South and more. in the North. Their argument is that discrimination depends large- ly on the size of the Negro popula- tion in any given area. At present it is growing in the Northern states and declining in the South.

A marine buoy which will automatically register and transmit weather reports has been developed by the United States Bureau of Standards. The buoy can be anch- ored in waters up to 3.6tlt) feet deep. and will operate for six months tin- attended. Tcsls already carried otit show that the station has a radio- range of more than 800 miles. if moored in certain areas, it might give warning of hurricanes as they form.

A man need not have I par- ticularly iicll developed bump of curiosity to be fascinated by I document. any document, that is sealed in a bottle and washed up at his feet upon the beach. And this, essentially. is what the scrolls that the wandering Bedouins dis- covered in the caves beside the Dead Sea are: mysterious manu- scripts that have survived the tur- bulence of two milleniums to be cast up at last on time's receding shore.

That the secrets now being urestcd from the ancient earth- en jars are capable of firing the imagination is evident enough: i witn':ss the fact that Mr. Edmund Wilson's "Scrolls from the Dead Sea" has held its place on the best-seller lists for more than 30 weeks.

The discussion no doubt is in- portant. And certainly it is pleas- ant to watch. in the mind's eye. thethe lucubrations of those learn- ed men who. in the vaulted chamb- ers of museums or in the awesome silences of national libraries. peer through enormous magnifying glasses at the enigmatic symbols on those venerable scrolls.

Or to join them! as. later in the day, over a cup of coffee or a glass of port in a colleague's booklincd study. they thrash out some nice points in exegesis, some difference of opinion about a ques- tionable Aramaic ablative. or some refined interpretation of the ancient text that, it correct. could shake the batllements of Christen-l doin.

MOM DESIGNS A DEVICE

T0 AID TIIE BED-WETTER -Bed-wetting by school n g e Yolmlsters is In embarrassing pro- blem for the parents as well Is the children themselves.

VIrlouI remedies have ' been tried with varying-results.

. A Chicago mother recently de- Ilgned.I simple owl-shaped plas- tic liandplece which reportedly combines the natural desire of the youngster for I dry bed with his natural reflexes to wake him in time to prevent bed-wetting. SOUND SLEEPERS

The theory behind the "Wake-up Owl" is that bed-wetting young- sters Ire Iound sleepers and re- main asleep despite the pressure of I full bladder. Such pressure normally would wake other chil- dren.

Bed-waiters, it's said, gencraly Ire restless and move their fing- ers just before wetting.

PLASTIC DEVICE

By holding the fingers in I semi- rigid position. the plastic device interferes with this natural rest- less movement. The youngster in- terprets this unuaual feeling as I signal to rise quickly to answer nature's call.

its use. of course. is pretty well limited to children six years of age and older, or at least those old enough to understand its pur- pose.

The ”Wake-up Owl" is attached to the palm of either hand at bed- time. Harmless phD!Ph0TcaL.clIi. pigments enable it to glow for six to eight hours after a few minutes' exposure to an electric light. HELPS HIM WAKE

This phosphorescence has a pur- pose. too. A child watching it glow on his hand as he drops off to sleep will concentrate on the idea that it is there to help him wake.

Of course, any strenuous play or no t during the evening should be avoided. Also. the child should not drink excessive liquids before bedtime.

it's a good idea to establish In unhurried bedtime routine. The child should go to bed at. the same time each evening and be given plenty of time for sufficient sleep. QUESTION AD ANSWER
