J. Harrison, Assistant Com- missioner, Board of Grain Commissioners (This is one of a series of com- ments by well-known prairie authorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of West ern Canada.) Tom, I m sold on soil conserva- tion. This curt all-meaning statement was flung at me by a farmer in Western Manitoba during a recent visit to his farm, And without waiting for a reply he pointed to a nearby field adding , See those long, narrow trenches, shoestring gul- leying they call it. That's all come in my lifetime. Over on the far side of the section where that large field is hilly, the top of the hills are now white and all the Perennial Wheat - Despite the fact that Russian perennial wheat won a plaoe on the BC coast to coast network, it is not news. Russian plant breed have, for many years, been inves gating the possibilities of perennial theats produced by crossing wheat with certain species of Agropyron, the genus to which couch grass, crested wheat grass, etc. belong. Canadian plant breeders, likewise, have produced perennial wheats from the same or similar crosses; but they are not optimistic about the prospect of producing a com- mercially desirable perennial milling wheat. 6 Tn an article such as this, it is impossible to deal adequately with the technical problems involved. Aside from the perennial habit and, perhaps a measure of drought re- sistance, practically all the charac- teristics we require in our milling wheate are to be found in hard red spring varieties. The chance of pr ducing a high quality perennial by crossing wheat.with Agropyron is so remote that we may dismiss it. Hybrids thus produced belong to a species quite distinct from both arents. Crosses between the new ybrids and our standard varieties are highly sterile and, again, the prospect of success is remote. Suffice it to say that perennial wheat is probably in: commercial production in Russig. It is a fairly safe bet that the quality will not meet the exacting requirements of Canadian and British consumers. The money spent on plant breeding in Canada is mere loose change in comparison with appropriations in Russia. Satisfactory perennial wheat is not an impossibility; but at best it will require plenty of time and money. THE PICK OF TOBACCO It DOES taste good in a pipe The Ow BARBER SHOP and BILLIARD HALL TOBACCOS W. H. McCUTCHEON, Prop. NANTON ALBERTA silt has been washed down into the hollows. I get good yields from the low-lands but hardly anything grows on the higher grounds that shows this deterioration. Em not a technical man but I'm practical enough to know that my land is taking a licking and unless something is done to remedy it it's not going to be able to support me and my family. My father always got good crops from almost every section of the farm, We didn t know what erosion was in those days but I guess it was going on unnoticed by most of us farmers until the experts put us wise. In the next breath he put me on the spot by asking how many farm. ers in Western Canada practise soil conservation. I told him I could not answer his question but agreed with him that they were far too few in number. I did in- dicate, however, that more and more farmers are taking a keener interest in soil and water conser- vation practices, although some still appear reluctant to take the matter seriously. I was going to cite numerous instances where this work was an immediate need but this was not necessary. He had plenty of visible evidence and read- ily recognized it. He went on to say how he was going to seek expert advice and mentioned the P.F-R.A., Professor Joe Ellis of the University of Man- itoba, and the men who do similar work in Saskatchewan and Alberta, I don t know what they ll tell me. to do, but if it s at all possible and not too costly over a period of years, I'm going to see that I save my soil. That's what a large percentage The s U FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE SUGAR CANADA CONSUMES HAS TO BE IMPORTED of my wartime savings are going to be used for as soon as I can get the help, labour and advice to car- ry out the proj It s going to be a mighty tough job to try and restore the soil to the condition in which 1 first remember it, he as- serted. But I'm certainly going to try. This farmer pointed out to me that he was in a little better po- sition with respect to equipment and buidings than some of his neighbors. Ha didn t boast but de- scribed it as a: piece of luck. He had bought a new tractor and com. bine along with one or two other pieces of farm machinery prior to the outbreak of war, His build- ings were a little newer thanmost of those in the community, He didn't suggest that he wouldn't have to make repairs to his buildings and buy new machin- ery but he pointed out that his own expenditure for these requirements would probably be relatively small. That's why, he continued, I'll have most of my wartime savings available for soil conservation work and it s not all going to be spent at once because I understand this has to be planned now over a period of years to be wholly suc- cessful in the final analysis. I left the farm shortly after, doing more thinking on this part- fcular subject than I had ever dona for a long time. Here in my opin- fon was one of those many farm- ers to be admired who are sanely and systematically mapping out their varied post-war projects to- day so that they can start work a8 Soon as post-war conditions war- rant, I tried to visualize how many s Pe This map shows where Canada, Great Britain and the MARRIED BRIDGETT DONLEVY St. Andrew s Cathedral, Victoria, B.C, was the scene of a quiet wedding service when, on Septem- ber 8, Rev. Father MacKinnon, naval chaplain, solemnized the mar. riage of Teresa Mary, daughter of Mr. W. , Donlevy of Calgary and Mirror, and Mr. Frank Robinson Bridgett, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Bridgett of Nanton, The bride was given in mar- riage by Capt. T.B.'T. Hewitt, and she wore an eggshell blue suit with brown accessories. Miss Naomi Webb and Mr. William Anderson attended the bride and bridegroom. A reception was held at the Empress hotel. things could be done with wartime savings to improve living conditions and other factors affecting farm life. I-realized they were numer- ous and tried to decide which would bring the greatest benefits but I recognized that some farmers have more than one problem to cope with in post-war planning and spending and the most urgent re- quirement would shave to come first. As I continued my journey 1 couldn't ignore the sane reasoning of my farmer friend. The heavy June rains in that part of the province this year hud left. their mark, further emphasizing the need of soil conservation. 1 asked my- self how many farmers are plan- ning to use their savings as ad- vantageously in post-war years as IN MEMORIAM HUNTER Dedicated to Gnr.

United States got their sugar in the good old days of peace. Our three countries take practically all the ex- portable sugar from these major sugar-exporting areas. But supplies have cither been cut off by enemy occu- Braet of the country as in the case of Java and the ilippines, or their production radically reduced by fe of workers, as in the case of Hawaii, Porto Rico, Australia, Trinidad, Fiji. ROLLING ON SUGAR The war has brought some unusual demands on the United Nations sugar pool. Vast quantities have been taken for making industrial alcohol used in the manufacture of synthetic rubber (tires, etc.) as well as T.N.T.. and smokeless powder. For instance, the explosive to fill five ich shells requires as much sugar as THE SUPPLY IS SHARED All sugar supplies are pooled and under the con: Combined Food Board of the United Nations, w' supplies to Canada, United States and Great Britain on a uniform basis.

Sugar rates high for its energy value, but starchy food is. a good substitute, ON OUR SUGAR CAPITAL into reserve.
