'blue coal' Sales Up MiHion Tons Convention of Dealers in To- ronto If Largely Attended â€" Presentation "Here's How." Between four and five buudred fuel dealers, from Toronto and many outside- points. Katbereil in the Crystal Bail Room of the King Edward Hotel on Monday, Sept. 19, for the 'blue cflal' sales convention. Entitled "Here's How," the pre- sentation used stage playlets, talk- ing pictures, lantern slides and a reproduction of a radio broadcast to drive borne the message, not on- ly of bow 'blue coal' advertising helps the dealers, but also many ways by which the dealers can im- prove the type of service they offer the public. Included In the ca»t8 which appeared In the different playlets were Mildred Harris Chap- lin, ex-wife of the famous comedian Eugenia Rawls, \lexander Cross, .Mary Perry, . ;seph Eggenton, Frank Roberts, and several more prominent stage and screen figures. "The Shadow" Speaking on behalf of Harry A. Smith, president of the company, Mr. Scott of the 'blue coal' New York office pointed out that, largely due to aggressive and constructive advertising, gales of 'blue coal' had Increased from a total of 4,745,000 tons in 1933 to 5,570,000 tons last year. A big feature of the program was a reproduction of one of "The Sha- dow" radio programs, which are en- Joyed by millions of listeners' each week, and which will soon be back on the Canadian air-waves again. The presentation, which travels like a theatrical company, and car- ries its own stage settings and pro- perties, is being shown In fourteen United States and Canadian cities, and was given on Sept. 20, In Lon- don, Ontario. London's Central Library now has 21,000,000 books. What Science * Is Doing * WORLD'S GREATEST WIND- MILL The waters of the ocean are the world's g-rcatest windmill, the fifth International Congi'e.ss for Ap- plied Mechanics was informed last week at Cambridge, Mass. The windmill study was report- ed by Dr. H. U. Sverdrup, of the University of Bergen, Norway, and University of California. It is probably, he said, that the en- ergy transmitted to the ocean by the wind is much greater than that from heat. "If this is true," he added, "the ocean represents a machine which is principally kept running at an average constant speed by the frictional drag exerted on the surface of the sea by the fast- running atmosphere." NEW LIGHT ON NATURE A new method of working back- wards in an effort to discover how sunlight is captured and convert- ed into food and fuel for man has been found, an Ohio chemist said • last week. Spea'-'ng before the closing ses- sion of the American Chemical Society meettng at Milwaukee, Mis., Di'. Paul Rothemund, of An- tioch College, described the pro- cess of photosynthesis, in which chlorophyll, the green coloring natter in plants, absorbs sunlight, as one of the principal mysterits of the universe. A new approach to unlocking its secrets has been found, however, in the discovery that the process will work in reverse and that chlorophyll will give off liglit as well as absorb it.

Bell with the co-operation of the various departments of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.) Q. â€" "I have about 5 acres of very light, sandy land on which it is hard to grow anything. It is badly in need of manure, but there is no available supply. There used to be a lumber mill on the property, and there is f. pile of sawdust which has been accumu- lating for about fifty years, but there has not been any added for about fifteen years, and it is pret- ty well rotted more or less. Could this be used as a source of humu.s, and would it be helped by the addition of agricultural lime to the sawdust? The land is also in need of lime." â€" W. G., Brace- bridge. A. â€" Under the circumstances, I think it would be well for your land to be plowed anj top dressed with a moderate application of the rotted sawdust that you describe. -â- Vfter this is done, I would sug- gest that you apply at least one- half ton of ground limestone to the acre, and work both into the soil by discing or harrowing. Let the land stand for about a week, and then sow it to oats or barley, seeded to a good mixture of clover and grass, or alfalfa. At the time you are sowing the grain and the grass seed, apply about 200 lbs. per acre of 2-12-10 fertilizer, if you can get same. This should give the crop a good start and make reasonable yield. It will also insure a catch of grass or legumes. After one cutting of grass next Issue No. 40â€" '38 year, I would suggest that you plow under the second crop when it has made good growth. This will add to the humus of your soil and build it up. Do not let the field stand bare as Fall plowed land in Fall of 1939, rather drill in or sow broad- cast about a bushel and a half of rye per acrt sufficiently early in the fall so that it will have made good top before Winter comes. This will prevent washing of the soil, and will be further addition to the humus. A few years' treat- ment of this sort, adding the rot- ted sawdust in moderately large amounts and plowing in grain crops should build up your soil, especially if it is supplemented with suitable fertilizer over three or four yeai-.s.

When the speed limit at .Akeny, la., was 26 miles an hour, .\cting Commis- sioner Horace Tate said, many mo- torists drove through withont slowing down. Some went as fast as 50 niiica an hour. But when the .\keny City Council raised the speed limit to 45 miles an hour, most motorists didn't go more than 40 miles an hour. dicated by experiments made by Professor Hans H. Ussing. of the University of Copenhagen, who Tised heavy water mixed with the food of rats as a tracer to mark the tissues in which changes have taken place, the extent of the changes being indicated by the amount of heavy water found in the tissues at the close of the es- periracnt. Dr. Ussing found after three days that 10 per cent, of the tis- sue of the liver had been newly formed from materials containing the heavy water, and 2.5 per cent. of the protein in ths musele tis- sue. If all of the tissues in the body were niado over at the rate the change took pla:e in the muscle tissue, a Y-^t's body would be com- pletely remade in aboi>t 120 days, or about a half-dozen times in the course of an avera^re long life. There i.s a general belief that the human boiiy renews itself once every st'veii year, but there are no relia'alo data on the subject. Eventually experinicMts similar to the foMvvoiiig will give us rfata on how ia;ii(i!y the processes are in our own bodies.

Wild Carrot Seen As Real Menace Department of Agriculture la- sHcs Wamingr That It b Spreading in Ontario â€" How To Eradicate the Weed Wild carrot is spreading at an alarming rate in Ontario an.l i.s con- sidered one of Uie most objection- able weeds In the Province, says J. D. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of .•Ag- riculture, Toronto. It is a biennial and requires two years to produce seed. Flowers may be seen from July to September in white clusters which are flat topped when open. When nfearing maturity these flow- er clusters curl up and it plants are not destroyed they will break off during fall and winter scatter- ing milltons of seeds over frozen ground and snow. Thus, it will be seen that clean areas miles distant may be Infested if plants are per- mitted to mature seed. T!ie im- portance of destroying all plants Immediately after they come in flower cannot be emphasized too strongly. Mr. McLeod stales. Crop Rotation Helps This weed does not give any diffi- culty in fields where thorousii cul- tivafion and a short rotation of crops is practised. However. In meadows, which are down two years or more, in clover aad tim- othy fields which are being kept for seed and in pasture fields, fence lines, waste places and roadsides it is rapidly becoming one of our worst weeds in that it smothers out pasture and hay crops, robs the soil of plant food and moisture and lowers the "larket valiie oT seed crops. .\ short rotation â€" clovers.

Chemical weed killers are the only practical solution for the con- trol of this weed on roadsides, fence lines and all areas where it is im- possible to cultivate. U. S. Drivers Rank Behind Canadians QUEBEC. â€" United Statt-n' mo- torists are quicker on th« brakes, but Canadian motorists are better drivers, judging from the re.iult of an international safe-driving con- test staged here this month during an insurance company's C'^tiven- tion. Three convention delegates from the United States, chosen at random for a braking test, showed half second reactions in applying the brakes and 58.6 per cop.t. aver- age in steering. The Canadian team averaged 68 per cent, in steering and five-eighths second in braking.
