Purchases L. L. Brown Property; Has Lengthy Experience With Mink

Ernest Butler, with ten years experience in the mink business, bas taken over the Abbotsford Fur Farm, which has been oper- ated for many years by L. L.

Mr. Butler gained his exper- jence in fur farming on his ranch in the Prince George area. During his youth, he travelled and work- ed in many parts of the far north, including the Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake areas and in Dawson City. With Mrs. Butler and their two children, he has recently been residing in Burnaby.

On his new property, Mr. But- ler will be kept busy looking after 225 breedding mink now quarter- ed on the premises. It is one of the largest fur breeding farms in the Fraser Valley and is well equipped with modern pens and its own cold storage lockers for freezing and storing animal food.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown have left for White Rock, B.C., where they will reside for the present with Mrs. Brown's aunt, Mrs. F. Wilk- inson.

Selection Of Fertilizers Is Very Important

As a general rule fertilizers for grain crops in the Fraser Valley must meet a two-fold re- quirement; first to give increased yields of grain and secondly to provide better conditions for the new di of grass and clover.

Therefore somewhat higher rates of lication than normally re- quired for grain alone are per- missible. Experimental tests in- dicate clearly that fertilizer re- sponse follows a fairly definite pattern depending on the soil type, states M. F. Clarke, Domi- nion Experimental Farm, Agas- siz, B.C.

On loam and clay loam soils, complete fertilizers of high nitro- gen and phosphorus, plus moder- ate potash content give the most economical returns. Clay soils do not as a rule give as marked a potash response but give good re- turns from nitrogen and phos- phorus. Peats respond to both phosphorus and potash but if nitrogen is used lodging is usual- ly aggravated.

On the basis of experimental results obtained during the past three years, the recommended formulae and rates of applying fertilizer to grain ccrops are as dollows. Light loams—clay loams,

Meatless Soups Will Make

According to one dictionary, “soup is a sort of food made by boiling flesh with other other in- gredients and water.” Sounds terribly unattractive, doesn't it? And evidefttly the gentleman who

devised that definition had no acquaintance with the delicious soups that have no “flesh” in

their make up. Poor man, think what he missed!

Many of these meatless soups are substantial enough to make a Main course when servings are sufficiently generous. Soups such as these from the Consumer Sec- tion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture help both the pocket book and the ration book to recover from the strain of a steak dinner or the occasional ex- tre large roast.

LEADING ACTOR

John Drainie is a Vancouver actor and scriptwriter who has gained a national reputation since mcving to Toronto three years ago. British Columbians were proud when he took first hon- ors in Dominion acting awards last year.

6-30-15 at 150-300 pounds per acre; clay soils, 11-48-0 at 100- 200 pounds per acre; peat soils, 0-12-20 at 100-300 pounds per acre. In the foregoing recommen- dations, the two rates mentioned represent the lowest and highest practicable levels of application. On each individual farm the op- erator is best acquainted with conditions and is in a_ better position to judge the required rate. If the soil is run down and moisture fairly plentiful, then the high rate is justified. On the other hand, if moisture condi- tions tend to be low through a large part of the growing season a lower rate is more profitable.

NEW TRANSFORMER ADDED TO BCER POWER LINES

Will Increase Efficiency

Of Company’s System in Abbotsford, Peardonville

A nine-man crew of B.C. Elec- tric Railway employees is com- pleting the installation of a new

100-killowatt transformer bank on the company’s power lines near the new Columbia Grain

Company building on the north end of Railway St.

The new equipment is an ad- dition to the 75-kilowatt trans- former which has been sezying the Abbotsford and Peardonville areas for some time and which was found to be too small to meet the growing needs of the district.

A giant pole lifter was brought from Vancouver to assist in the work. Two new poles were placed in position to hold the new transformer bank and an- other pole was erected near the company's tracks on Essendene avenue. The big machine holst- ed the poles into position with ease, only a few minutes being required to complete each opera- tion.
