She cannot exclude herself from. the world any more than can a eople and itis her duty to have y in international as well as l affairs, But her prime inter- is selfdevelopment; her chief con cern is not with the old world but with the new. He said Canada has two frontiers: the frontier of thought and know l- edge and the physical frontier. Let me take first the frontier of thought and Knowledge, the drouth other areas of the southern parts of the Have Greatly Increased Their Output prairie province These were long ago mapped and surveyed nad settled and proyided with the apparatus of ment was done hastily and unscien- tically and the recent dry years have compelled us to retrace our steps. There is no cause for pessi- tmism about the prairies. Our prob- lem is how to make prairie farming weatherproof, to so readjust it that in a bad year a farmer will not be ruined. Lord Tweedsmuir said the federal and provincial agricultural depart- ments have done brilliant work on this problem and the work of rehabilitation is being admirably done, and I wish it were better known. No less brilliant is the handling of the question of soil drifting. In this prairie question Canada is show- ing the true frontier spirit; con- fronted with a desperate problem, she is solving it by pushing further forward the frontier of thought and knowledge. The physical frontier is in the northwest, he said, with its chief wealth underground. Comparing the Canadian north- west development with Russian de- velopment in northern Siberia, Lord Tweedsmuir said he thought we have in our north far greater assets than any that Russia can claim. The frontier work offers no occa- sion for grandiose dreams as the problems are difficult and many will only be solved by toil and patience of many years, his excellency continued. A Real Necessity Livestock Should Have Adequate Salt Supply The Year Round A reminder that livestock should not be denied a complete salt supply during the winter months is appro- priate at this time. Practically all farmers make it part of their regular Spring program to put 50-pound blocks out in the pasture for their grazing stock, but many of them fail to afford their stabled livestock a) similar opportunity to gratify thet full salt needs. The need for salt continues all the year round and the livestock should not be denied free access to salt dur- ing the months when they are mostly confined in stables. The old method of providnig an open salt supply was to place one or two 50-pound salt blocks in the barn yard for use dur- ing the daily period outdoors, but a/ more satisfactory solution has bee provided: recently through the intro- duction of five-pound salt licks.) Specially designed for individual use in stables, these fiye-pound Ii enable each animal to have its indi- vidual salt supply from which it may judge its own needs. Todized salt licks of the same size and mineralized licks, containing supplementary calcium, phosphorus and iodine, afford an equally conye- nient method of counteracting in some measure the inadequate supplies) of these essential minerals in the livestock ration. Another popular method of supplying minerals is to give soluble minerals, which contain 25 per cent salt, in the feed.

E, Lawrence became known as Lawrence of Arabia mainly because of the way he rallied the Arabs to the British cause in the Great War. After the armistice he returned to England and lived in re- tirement in Dorset for some time. Then, for a while, there was some mystery concerning his whereabouts, and eventually he was found serving: as an ordinary aircraftsman in the R.A.F. under the name of Shaw.

But now hundreds of visitors pour into the inn at Speen, Buckingham- shire, to inspect the premises. Most of the visitors to Plow Inn seem to expect that the one-time mistress of No. 10 Downing Street, where she was her father s official hostess, will stand behind the bar and draw their beer with her own hands, as rumor credits her with having done before her business took on such wholesale proportions. 2278 Ishbel MacDonald Buys Farm Be-.
