Aid To Press Writers Urged By Empire Union â€" Britain Found "Cold" to Dominions' Reporters. LONDON, Eng. â€" The Empire Press Union concluded its seojnd an- nual conference last week after adopt- ing a resolution urging its council do everything possible toward improving facilitins tor Empire correspondents within the United Kingdom, whose task is to portray for the dominions a complete and authoritative, as well as colorful picture ot life in the United Kingdom. It was said Insufncient recognition was given outside newspapermen, whose work frequently was labored with unneces.sary prohibitions and lack of co-operation. The conference was marked by speeches from persons prominent in evry phase of the newspaper world. Modern techiii(iuo and the latest equipment were lengthily discussed, including the wircpliolo, wireless and television. But members gencially agreed with the sentiment expressed by Sir Stan- ley Reed, ot the Times ot India, that without an Increasing seiis(! of re- sponsibility, faith and forthrightness all fantastic inventions of the new era were but dust and ashes. Members deplored the trend toward intrusive reporting. It was suggested that if the press failed to govern its own enterprise with decency and dig- nity It invited governmental legisla- tion which would be a move against freedom of the press. J. A. Spender, editor ot the West- mineter Gazette, supplied the keynote to the sentiineut ot the conference in the final address. "The responsibility of the press," he said, "was never greater than today in countries where it remains free. To defend this part of a much-threat- ened field of liberty in our special perogative. If we hold our ground in the British Commonwealth we shall help others recover what they have lost. If we fail we shall bring de- struction on many besides ourselves." Members ,, .ve a complimentary din- ner at a west end hotel last night for the president of the union. Major J. .T. Astor and Lady Violet Astor. Ses- sions of the conference were held tliroughout the week at the Astor residence. The food we eat in a day weighs j less than the air \vc breatlie in the same length of time.

Gardening Bv GORDON L. SMITH (ARTICLE NO. 15- There are two groups of garden insect enemies â€" those that eat holes in the foliage and those that suck out the juices. For the flrst-named, poison is usually applied, while the suckers are attacked with a burn- ing spray which penetrates. Often when both are present, a combin- ation of poison and something that burns, such as lime sulphur and ar- senate, give the best, results. The damage from the biting insects Is usually quite apparent but the pres- ence of the other kind is only shown at first by a wilting or withering of the foliage. For sucking pests, chief of which a.e the aphids or plant lice, spray with whale oil soap, a quarter pound of soap to a gallon and a half of water; nicotine sul- phate, or "Black Leaf 40" or any other repellent secured from a relia- ble seed store. Mildew or Other Fungus When fungus attacks the plants. •••••â- â€¢e»»»>teet>»a>aee>> the foliage usually turns yellow or brown, or white spots like mildew cover the leaves. Fungus is most common in warm, murky weather. Spraying with Bordeaux Mixture or dusting with specially finely ground sulphur is advised. Sulphur dust will also protect hollyhocks and ph!ox from rust, if applied when the dis- ease first shows itself. An ordinary tin can with the top perforated like a salt shaker makes a good duster. Slow Growth Disastrous to Certain Vegetables Tender vegetables are those which have been grown quickly. Especial- ly with such things as radish, car- rots and beets is slow growth dis- astrous as the roots become woody and filled with objectionable fibre. But this rule also applies to every- thing used for salads. On this ac- count experts advise pushing growth with frequent cultivation and ap- plications of a good chemical fer- tilizer. This should be carried out according to proper directions. =^ COCK-A-DOUBLE-DOO For Satisfaction true This Double Automatic Book Means Double Value.too.

Magnificent Musical Attraction for C.N.E. â€" First "Foreign" Tour of U.S. Navy Band It was necessary for tlic Canadian National Exhibition to get the personal approval of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to permit the famous band of the United States Navy to appear at Toronto this year. This favorite musical organization of the Americas, North and South, will appear twice daily in the great new bandshell at Exhibition Park under the baton of Lieut. Chas. Benier. The entire strength of the band, eighty-five men. will be brought to Toronto. This -s the first occasion in its history of almost one hundred and fifty years that this famous organization has appeared outside of United States territory. New Industry Is Develoised Visit Paid by Goverrsment Of- ficial to Marl Beds ROCKTON.â€" John M. Casey, in- spector of the federal department of mines at Ottawa, paid a visit to the new plant and mine of the Beverly Holdings corporation in Beverly swamp, near the village of Westover, and expressed himself as surprised at the development of the new fer- tilizer industry whicli was estab- lished under direction of A. .-Vnrap, general manager, who was a former officer of the mines department. Much Work Done Over one mile of poles has been erected througli the swamp to carry the Hydro to the plant and nearly a mile of narrow gauge railway has been laid to cany the const tuents to the mixing mill. Not all of Beverly swamp, coiff- prising several thousand acres, con- tains the organic matter that will go to make up the formula of tile fertilizer. It is authoritatively stated that in no other part of the town- ship has the same formation as that comprising an area of 144 acres been found. While all parts of the swamp may look alike on the surface, it is in the marl lying below the thick covering of leaf mould and vegetable matter that the diiferenco occurs. I Nearly four feet of black mould cov- ers the marl below, which is about three feet thick and is said to con- tain chemical constituents pecul'ar to itself. It is said that in no other part of Ontario or Quebec has such a deposit ever been discovered. Gov- ernment official.? and others who have been on the ground and had tests made believe that there is a wealth of plant food in the area that only requires development to make it available for agriculture. Lists "Habits » Of Tomatoes BioloRist Finds Hybrids Fi.x Their WeJjrSt Mathematically expla'ned that when a tomato with fruit the sizo of a currant is crossed v;itli any of the large comm.Mcial vatieties the now plant bears f' uit the sii;e of a cherry. If the fruits are weighed it is found the weight of the new hybrid is close to the pciuare root of the fig- ure obtained by mult jilying togeth- er the weights of the currant-sized parent and the big one. The riddle of how the plant worked out the mathematical calculation is now solved, iVIr. Butler said. Each tomato fruit is composed of thousands of cell.i and new cells are formed by division of existing cells. They multiply from one to two, four to eight, and so on. Matter of Cells If a tomato fru !t the size of a cur- rant has 200.000 cells and an ordin- ary variety has 800,000 then it has been found liy measurement and cal- culation that the hybrid would have 400,000, the square root of the pro- duct of cells of the parent fruits (200,000 x .HOO.OOO). The explanation is this: By follow- ing the method of growth in which the cells divide and double their number it is clear that if the cells of the small fruit, which had 200,000 to start with, could divide once the fruit would have 400,000 cells. If they divided again it has 800,000, the number in the larger fiult which has one parent of tlie new hybrid. The two plants differ by two cell divisions and the hybrid fruit comes m'dway between. It has 100,000 cells, one division more than the small fruit and oue Icps than the big one. Hereditary Jaundice .John W. MacArthiir, of the Uni- versity of Toronto, presented a paper by C. K. Giinn describing a muta- tion in the famous wistar breed of laboratory rat^5 wiiicli inoduces ani- mals :;fflictccl dwith hereditary jaun- dice such as runs in some human families. The new rat is characterized by general yellowish apjio.-uance of the skin, hair and fat due lo an accumu- lation of pigments resulting from ex- cessively rj'.uil breakdown of red blood cells. The disease can be iired in or. out of the rats at the w'll of the experimenter. Groat importance is attached lo the discovery because the disease be- haves exactly as it is Known to oc- cur sometimes in human families. What is not understood in the hu- man conditions can now be studied in the new rats and the study mgbt conceivably result in a remedy be- ing found. New Potato Proves A Best - Seller TORONTO.â€" The Royal Society of Canada recently heard how a hybrid tomato multiplies together the weights of its parents, takes the square root and makes that its own weight.

Issue No. 24â€" '37 câ€" 1 An entirely new kind of potato has found its way onto the markets of London and Montreal this winter, and it involves three countries, Br't- aiii, Jamaica, and Canada. A rich creamy tuber of combined Canadian and Jamaican stock, it was snapped up so quickly â€" following a prelim n- ary test â€" on Covcnt Garden Market that more shipments rapidly follow- ed and this place in the British mar- ket was soon assured, according to Caiiacia's Weekly. Some time ago, an organization of Nova Scot'a potato growei's near Kentville, in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, bemoaned the fact that they could not produce a good potato for the market in winter, when such a commodity as a fresh potato was scarce and would fetch a gi)od price. They therefore decided to malce some experiments and selected Jamaica. The Canadian seed was sent to .Tamaica and planted there in late No\ ember and early December. The pot.Ttoes were put into the rich Jamiiica soil well above sea level, wh;-ro conditions more akin to tem- perate rather than tropica! countries prevail. The potatoes were put in at ditftrent times, so as (o give a steady proiluction in m'd-wintcr.

Thus the potatoes which were sown in November were finding their way on to the British markets in late February, and the tubers that first struck the soil in December were ready for the market in March. The last of the crop was planted around January. The potatoes had to be timed so as not to come too quickly upon the end of the fall crop, aiid they must not be too late ;is to drag into the Channel Islanil or other sea- son which comes early in the year. The reason these potatoes swept the market in Canada â€" and more so in Kngiand than in Canada â€" is that they have developed a flavor all their own. A potato flavor like bread flavor, is something that is taken for granteil. But the Jamaica product seems to have a richness and a meali- ness like an entirely different vege- table, hence the demand for it.
