Safety In Flying

Accidents Would Be Reduced If coper Precautions Were Always Taken

Col. W. A. Bishop, V.C., Canada’s most famous aviator in the Great War, was twitted the other day, when, as he was about to take off on a flight in Eastern Canada, he made a most careful preliminary inspection of the ‘plane that was to bear him. He checked the wires, rigging, wings and tail parts and listened to the hum of the motor. To those who twitted him, he made a remark that deserves a good deal of attention. “Ym not fussy about being the world’s smartest pilot. I just want to be the oldest one.”

Here is an epigrammatic utterance deserving of the notice not only of eirmen but of motorists and others who have anything to do with machin- ery. The accident list would be ma- terially reduced if everyone took the

of th before applying the power, that their machines were in first-class shape. Longevity has its attractions notwith- standing the considerable passion for speed and daring.—Regina Leader- Post.

Bigger and Better Crops

Chemistry Is Coming To the Ald Of the Canadian Farmer

More and more, chemistry is com- ing to the aid of the Canadian farmer in helping him to produce bigger and better crops. This is the opinion of F. T. Shutt, Dominion chemist, who {is in close touch with the chemistry division of the Dominion Experiment- al Farms.

Investigation and research with a view to applying the science of chem- istry to agriculture constitute the main work of the division.

In a report just issued it is stated that every year a large number of soil samples are received from all parts of the Dominion. These are analyzed, advice given with respect to the most suitable measures, while fertilizers are recommended.

Hundreds of farmers annually are benefited by the service of the di- vision, which, by careful investiga- tions, has determined the results of continuous grain growing and econo- mic methods of maintaining the fer- tility of the western prairie soils.

An increasing use is being made of fertilizers, it is reported.

Another valuable work of the di- vision is that of establishing stand- ards for important feeding stuffs. Considerable dissatisfaction was ex-

| pressed by farmers several years ago ‘hat his worked unfairly against post-

as to the variable quality of milling by-products.

World’s Largest Steer

“Wonder” is seven years old and was born on the ranch of Ralph Clu- ment, near Burwell, Neb. From the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail the steer measures 10 feet eight inches.

Dr. Babcock's method, like many another important discovery, was the embodiment of simplicity.
