H. Craigie, of the Dominion Rust Research Laboratory of Mani- toba Agricultural College, has been forarded to the National Re- search Council at Ottawa..' While no announcement of the re- sults of the research will. be made until the ‘council has examined the report, it was learned authoritatively that Mr. Craigie’s experimenis will mark a forward step in the fight of western farmers ‘to’ overcome the greatest of crop menaces. Mr. Craigie has been at. work for two years or more 6n.his researches, but only in recent weeks has he been able to reach definite conclusions. The réport will be made publie In a few weeks’ time. and i ‘Hill “60” For Sale - The news that “Hill 60” is to. be put up for sale will raise strange memories in the minds of those who have but to hear its name to see themselves again in the Ypres Sali- ‘Lent. .To those who followed with anx- ious hearts the daily bulletins it¢was, and is, a name of il-omen, but those who were sniped at from it, tunnelled under it, swept over it in triumph, lost it and took it again, were buried in {t, were wounded on ‘it, and in more than one sense fed. upon it, will re- member it with a queer affection.

Recent Shipment Shows Air. Trans- portation. Considered Fairly Reliable Many persons. who are doubtful about the safety of ordinary travel in airplanes’ may be. reassured by the freedom with which alr transpor- tation is being used for shipp!ng goid. One recent consignment of. $5,000,000 in that metal was taken from London to Amsterdam jn an airplane aga part of the regular business of an air ex- press line. Of course, the gold was in- sured, but the*fact that the rate of insurance charged was moderate enough to make the use of the air route good business is in itself de cidedly satisfactory to those who are watching the progress of human flight. No-one sends large sums, in- gold coin or. bullion, by’ transportation lines which are not reasonably safe. Takes Photos In Fog Inventor Of Television Gete Every Detail With Complete Clearness Photographs showing every detail of the landscape with complete clear- mess have been taken in an opaque Scotch inventor of television. He re- cently exhibited before the British As- sociation in London such ;hotographs and a camera, equipped with his tele- vision ray. The special photographic plates are sensitized to the infra-rays of the spectrum-rays which are invisi- ble to the human eye, and by this means the camera can record pictures through the thickest cloud. Baird pre- dicts that. photography and observa- tion in the next war will be carriea out by an aeroplane far above the clouds and hidden: from the sight or hearing of the earth below. -'Hard Order To Fill It was dusk as she stopped at the filling station. “T want a quart of red oll,” she said to thé sérvice' man.

Eye Cannot Be Speeded Up Requires One-Seventh Of a Second To Distinguish Objects In order to distinguish an object the. average eye must remain in-a stationary positen- for about one- seventh of a second, tests have dis- closed. The: eye appears to act on a sort of skip‘stop system, and no amount of illumination wil speed its |rate of. functioning, the experiment- ers found. One of . the ~ interesting ‘facts revealed by the tests .was that most ‘homes, stores and. factories are not brightly enough lighted to enable the-eye to work as rapidly as it would functon under the most favorable con- ditions of illumination. Bidding For Ocean Traffic The Germans are making a bid for the Trans-Atlantic traffic. In 1929 they will have two ships ready of 45,000 tons each. They. will be coal burners.

The names of several of the Ger mans are familiar as being prominent in the German war news, and if their decision is favorable concerning the land in the district, a-German seitle- ment. will spring-up, comprising some of Germany’s former nobility. Dr. Smidel von Seeberg, of Berlin, who organized. the party, has himself taken up a homestead in the St. Wak burg district. ; Count Otte von Dem Hagen, from Dresden, and Herr Carl] Schultz, grad- uate of the University of Griefswaid, the oldest. GernYin university, are leaving for Germany, where they will make.a report on the land conditions found. H is their-intention to return in the spring, bringing with’ them their families and ‘a large party of relatives. Count von Dem Hagen was territor ial governor of German Hast Airiea be- fore the war. Others in the party were Count von Bulow, nephew of Prince von Bulow, who was German chancel-~ lor before the war, Gunther: von. Ar nim, son of General von Arnim, and others of the “blue blood of Germany. World’s Record Wheat Yield 74,000 Bushels From 1,300 Acres in Alberta ; Cc. S. Noble, of Nobleford, Alberta, a former American, has this © year beaten his own world’s record *in wheat growing made in 1915. In that year he grew 54,320 bushels of wheat on 1,000 acres, an average of 64.3 — bushels per acre.’ This year a 1,200 ~ acre. field has yielded 74,090 bushels, an average of "practically 57. bushels to the acre, the world’s largest yield per acr@ from such an extensive acre- age. Mr. Noble’s record yield in 1915 was Marquis, the famous red spring wheat, originated in Ottawa, Canada, in 1903. This ‘year he grew winter wheat of a variety developed at the Macdonald Agricultural College, at St. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec. In southern Afberia, Although most of the wheat planted in the spring, the growing of winter wheat is *be-~ coming more popular and Mr. Noble's . - record-breaking crop will have a fur- ther effect in that directionz On ac count of the warm’ Chinook winds Alberta winters are remarkably mild.
