We may here call attention to the val- uable work carried on by our esieenr- ed fellow citizen, Prof. R. R. Hurst. In the Report just mentioned, Mr. Hurst tells of the various projects carried on at the Laboratory of Plain Pathology. There is much information on the control of Rhizoctonia, and Late Blight on potato. An enlightening ar- ticle on the right sine or weight of potato "sets" will be of interest to growers of the tuber.
Mr. Peppln of The Laboratory re-
p orts upon the seed inspection work of the Province. The progress has been phenomenal; in 1920, 523 acres of seed potatoes passed the test. In 1927, 34,- 845 acres were inspected, and 19.915 passed! Our readers will nnd food for thought in this excellent report.
Facts and figures are given in the
January issue of The Canadian Pub- lic Health Journal which we cannot do better than put. before our readers. The reference is to the data from the restricted area plan, and it is a mat.- Ler for congratulation that we natu- rally stand lowest in the percentage of tuberculous cattle.

that there will be no doubt about the quaiity or that held for seed. Cer-tain fields _on the farm will grow plumper seed than others, and the seed from these areas should be set aside. Dur- ing the winter this seed should be wellcieaned in a`good fanning mul and all the light seed and weed seeds removed. If this is not done the chances are that the quality of goori seed to draw from will be limited. and that less care will be exercised in cleaning because of the probability of reducing the quantity below that required for seeding.

AGRICOLA
GRAIN FOR SPRING SEEDING
(Experimental Farms Note)
The need for good vigorous seed
for seeding purposes is now well re- cognzed, and it is wise to set aside the best seed grown on the farm GQ
‘at first planned for.
One should not be satisfied ,by the
appearance of the seed, but, to make sure, should test -for germination. This is easily done by taking one hundred seeds as they run from the lot, plac- ing them in earth in a. 4-or 5-inch por, and putting me pot ir. a wia- dow in the kitchen. They will germin- ate in a short time, and by counting the ones that have sprouted the per- centage of germination may be deter- mined. ' ' `
The seed should be placed in tight
barrels, so that mice may not get at lt, and stored in a dry place. Too often there is a delay in providing for the seed supply, resulting in considerable difficulty in getting grain seed as good as might have been possible had early attention been given to the mar- ter of the home-grown supply.
TORONTO, Ont., Feb. 2.-(By The Canadian Press)-In ,the main Ca-' nadian sheep owners have experienc- ed another banner year, state officials of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers in summarising the 1928 re- sults. Prices for both wool and lamb have been most remuneratlve, the wool clip' averaging from flvs to twen- ty-live percent above values for the previous season, and lamb prices ful- ly equal to the high level of a year ago. r
The sheep population of the country
has shown a steady increase, with excellent gains in the four Westem Provinces and Ontario. Practically all good females have been retairrd for breeding purposes, and there seems to be an increasing tendency on the part of grain growers to follow the Australian example of adding sheep to their farm operations. A few _of the larger sheep ranchers in Southern Albert have sold part of their hold- ings, it is true, but a great number of these have gone to increase the popu-

values went up higher in some cases than the actual situation warranted. This caused a reaction in wool prices later on and the trade was dull both here and abroad during the latter half of the summer and in the early fall. Generally speaking wools from the medium grades down were most. in demand__last season with the fine grades on or about the same level as in 1927.
Approximately three and a quarter
million pounds of wool, or close to half the total commercial clip of Canada, were handled for 10.000 sheepmen by the Canadian Co-oper- atlve. In order to find the best pos- sible market for this, shipments were made to Canadian Mills and also to United States. British and Continent- _al points. Some of thelbest business in the 1928 season was done wlth_the Canadian Mills, the export trade_,ex- perienclng long periods of dullness.

It was quite evedent that co-oper-
ation and harmony exist between pupils and teacher for in no other way could pupils make such progress in school. A pleasing feature of the aftemoon’s programme was the read- ing between the lessons. The pupils were generously treated to candy, jelly-beans and oranges while the visitors satisfied themselves with home-made candy. .Complimentary speeches, congratulating the pupils and teacheron such an excellent éx- amination and splendid showing. were given by Rev. Fr. McCabe, J. R. MacDonald, Archibald Lanigan and Cornelius Landrigan. All were highly pleases with ure
good work carried on in the school. A vote of thanks moved by A. Lan- igan and seconded by P. Cairns was tendered the teacher, then a very successful examination was ended by singing the National Anthem. ,
The following is the address Rev. Father. dear parents, and
kind friends. We have invited you here this aftemoon to attend our semi-annual examination and we
take this opportunity oi’ welcoming
y0u all to our school. While it pleas-
es us very much to See so many hap- py countenances with us this after- noon we are especially glad to have Father McCabe with us. We trust you shall not_be bored with our af- ternoon's proceedings and that you shall not find the time -too' monoton- ous. We have endeavoured with the painstaking efforts of our teacher to make good use of our time in school, yet we well know that we are going to give incorrect answers to the many puzzling questions which shall be asked us this afternoon. for young heads cannot be expected to remember anything. We hope you shall be lenient in your criticisms remembering that you yourselves were one in our position. We can- not let this opportunity pass without expressing our gratitude- to the Women‘s Institute of this district. By their 'untirlng efforts they have equipped our school with many necessities which we greatly apprec- iate. Within a year they have sup- plied pictures, a map. a modern water-container, a sand-table, a splendid hardwood floor, besides many minor articles. You all know we pupils and teacher spend the greater part of the day at school, therefore we wish our school to be as attractive and cosy as possible. I-fence, we slncertly thank them for their generosity.
In concluding, we hope you shall
all enjoy your afternoon and shall again soon visit our school. We thank you for your kind attention. Signed
Teacher and pupils of

MARIETTA. Ohio, Feb 2-Phys-
iclans equipped with a. claw hammer and a pair of pliers saved Frederick Bender from his suicide attempt yes- terday. '
Bender, becoming despondent. stood
in front of a mirror and drove a tenpenny nail into the top of his head. The nail penetrated an inch and a half, and the blow knocked Bender down, but he got up again with nothing worse than a headache.
Physicians said the nail passed be-

DEATH REVEALS SECRET OF
“MECHANICAL” CHESS PLAYER
WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 2-The
secret of perhaps the strangest "ro-
bot." ever exhibited in'”America has been revealed with the death of Peter J. Hill. Thirty years ago in New York city the proprietors of a dime museum astonished their customers
with an "automaton chess player."
Thousands including `many ii-stan;
nationally known players t-ried_lB vain to defeat the "mechanical man."
The robot in reality was Hill,
masked and disguised. An expert chess player. he sat in the museum for nine years, shifting the pawns on his board with jerky, mechanical movements, maintaining silence and keeping his secret from those with whom he played. '
