of those preparations. They fastened
victory by two years and saved hun.

he would be u skeptic who would as

the heavy human loss which she has

lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful. and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room in Cam

There is wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era of peace. She has tri-
umphed over the soul-testing crisis of
war. Before the war Canada was
borrower, and expected to continue SO
for many years. For the past year and
a half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.

ARE POOR SEED
Sulphur Process Brightens

prepared by the United States Depart

In the purchase and selection of
oats for seed farmers are warned to
be careful of grain that has been
bleached by the sulphur process. This
process is now used extensively by
commercial grain dealers to give oats
of inferior quality bright, clean ap-
pearance. In experiments conducted
by the specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, 1t
was found that in nearly every sam
pie of sulphur bleached oats there
was n great reduction in the germinat-
Ing power. The largest reduction was
In sample which terminated 97.5
per cent before treating and 9.5 per
cent after treating, or total reduc-
ton in termination Of S8 per cent
caused by sulphuring.
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the quality Of seed for the same
amount of time, labor and money Is
required to sow field of oats. wheth-
er the viability of the seed be high or
low, and the product will be infiu-
enced directly by the percentage of
termination of the seed. A casual
observer is probably more likely to
be misled as to the true quality of oats
than of any other grain for seeding
purposes, because oats that have been
sulphured present an attractive ap-
pearance; therefore special care must
be taken to ascertain whether this
appearance is due to bleaching by sui
phur or whether 1t is natural.
Feed Oats Not Good for Seed.
1t is not an uncommon practice
throughout the smaller oat-growing
areas for farmers to use for seed.
oats that have been purchased for
feeding purposes, especially when
these oats appear to be of good quail
ity. Frequently very poor yields are
obtained from feed oats, because these
oats may have been sulphur bleached.
Seedmen generally buy their oats
Inder contracts, stipulatlng that such
oats shall germinate not less than
,pecific percentage, and further that
they shall not be sulphur bleached.

Process Of Bleaching.
Two processes are In use in bleach
Ing oats; known as the cold process
and the warm process, the only diff
ference being that in one case steam
Is used to moisten the grain and In
the other cold water is used. AS the
moistened oats fall from the top of
tower they pass through sulphur
fumes which come in contact with
every kernel. After the oats have
passed through the bleaching tower
they are usually run in bin and al
lowed to stand over night when they
are cooled or dried as necessity may
reOuire.

CHILDREN LOVE TO INITIATE
(UtIlize this power to encourage
sweetness and beauty of voice.)

BY CLARA n. BURROUGHS.
What large part music has and
should have In the lives of all chill
dren! How quickly they respond to
a musical idea, whether of marching
or dancing or funny song. All chill
dren should be encouraged TO sing, for
the voice is God-given, IA priceless In

before wrong and careless speaking

Very helpful tone exercises mny be
given to the children to keep this
beauty of voice, If given wholly in the
spirit of play. Miss Alys E. Bently
has devised some very interesting
"tone plays" One of the best is the

how quickly children change from n

own voices.
