Re- cent investigations by the Industrial Development Board of Manitoba, with the aid of Mr. A. Anrep, peat spe- cialist of the Ottawa Department of Mines, have brought to light many facts regarding the new resource that fre occasioning widespread interest, and have revealed peat deposits of considerable extent and value in the bogs near Whitemouth. “Muskeg,” according to one author- ity, is probably the most useful word in the Cree language, and no other | language seems to possess & word | so comprehensive. It denotes either any kind of bog, or the material con- tained in a boggy deposit. Previously, people in Western Canada attached no great yalue to this resource, re- garding it as merely a troublesome impediment to transportation, or else as productive only of an inferior sort of fuel, But the studies of the In- Industrial Development Board, which have taken cognizance of the remark- able exploitation of bogs and moors in European countries, are developing an entirely new attitude toward West- ern muskegs, until today some au- thorities regard peat as a resource taking precedence in the industrial scheme to petroleum, rubber and cot- ton. | We may pause here to set out in | brief some of the uses of sphagnum |moss, peat, peat mull, peat board, etc. They include: Insulating mater- jial; bedding; agricultural and horti- | cultural purposes; packing for pre- |serving fruit, vegetables, fish and meats; surgical dressings; fuel; litter for stables; wall board; deodorant; wall plaster, etc., etc. | Mr. Anrep, who comes of a family of peat specialists, makes the follow- ing note regarding it: “On account lof its high absorptive powers, from 7 to 14 times its own weight in mois- ture (while straw absorbs only three times its weight) and of its acid | qualities, it acts as a natural scaven-| ger, as an antiseptic and germ-de-| |stroying factor, and because of this The “Mex- | we consider it a great gift of nature, million |for the use of the people at large.” Very strong claims are made for it as an insulator of heat, It is urged YEARS CAN.

Under these circum- stance,s, the farmer should consider an earlier variety or one that will throw a clear kernel, although some are finding that the use of fertilizer with Marquis wheat, ripening it from 6 to 8 days earlier, often allows Mar- quis to escape these early frosts and in many d*tricts also helps to pro- duce a clear kernel. ‘Three early varieties are recom- |mended,—Red Bobs, 222—Reward jand Garnet.

Mr, Barnet warned against too much technicality in the trained agri- culturists approach to men settling on farms. There must be a return, he said, to the simple, elementary things in farming—the farm garden where the farmer can grow his own vegetables instead of buying them from the town, the farm cow to sup- ply milk and butter, the farm animals to supply meat—and only in this way could farmers reduce their living costs and make up for the scarcity of the dollars and cents.
