Theso | marks stretch from the international | border to the Arctic, from the At- lantic to the Pacific. There fs a wood- en pillar to mark the site where Sir Benjamin Franklin last camped; there are monuments large and small from monoliths to cairns, from pillars to tablets, ‘ Only last year a monument was unveiled to mark the landing of Jacques Cartier at De aux Coudres on September 6, 1535. At this place was held-the first Christian service in the land of Canada. At the recent meeting of the board 125 other sites were reviewed and Several recommendations were made for immediate markings, Among these the outstanding ones are: Wolfe's Landing, Gabarus Bay, Cape Breton, where Wolfe's brigade landed on June §, 1758. First coal mine in Cape Breton — the site of the first regular coal min- ing operations in America, begun by the French in 1720. ~ ean TSY OID sO alte ye Hastens Plant Growth SHORT Experiments Show Certain Polsonons 175000 LEAD PRODUCTION i | Liquids Speed Up Development OF CANADA | A set of botanical experiments do- 150,000 1916-1928 |signed to bring the dormant period jof plants under man’s control were |recently described by Dr. F.

The follow- a point about which Dr. Denny People Should Give More Attention To Canadian Apples Enthusiasts give this name to the apple, and there is need for more of these people in the Dominion. In the order of their ripening the varieties line up as follows: Red Astrachan, Transparent, Chenanga and Duchess, followed in order by Alexander, «Wolf River, Gravenstein, Wealthy, Colvert. St. wrence, Maidens Blush, Blenheim, Ribston, Hubbardson, Fameuse and» MeIntosh Red, the latter two being dessert apples. Many of these fall varieties will keep in a cool place until well into the winter. The winter apples as they appear on the market are in the following order: King, Rhode Island Greenings and Wagener, but these are closely followed by other excellent winter varieties such as the Baldwin, Seek, Pewaukee, Ontario, Jonathan, Yel- low Newtown, Spy, Golden Russet, diy four Research Projects ’ - f Under Way With Object O Improving Wool and !
