There has always been passionate

EASTERN CANADA UNDER ICE
Professor Asserts II Was Covered a
Mile Deep Forty Thousand
Years Ago.

Prof. A. F. Coleman of the faculty
of applied science and engineering of
the University of Toronto, whose
hobby is studying the ice age. and who
has toured many countries in his re-
search work, believes the ice age was
present in Canada about 10000 years
ago. As a result of his inspection
of the rock and mountains of the ter
ritory of Gaspe, in eastern Canada,
where there are valuable fishing
grounds, he had been convinced that
the ice which has covered that part of
Canada to a depth of about a mile,
never passed over that portion Of east
ern Canada. .".'
The Shick- Shock mountains, which
are really a continuation OF the Appa-
lachian range, are the backbone Of
Gaspe, and the highest land Of eastern
Canada. Professor Coleman did find,
however, that a great glacial sheet
had filed the Gulf Of the st. Law
renee. He has also found that the
front range of the Rocky mountains
has been pushed seven miles into the
prairie.
Professor Coleman was probably one
Of the first scientists TO visit Gaspe.
despite the fact that the French land

THE DARK SIDE
IN HORTICULTURE
Continued from first page.

ships by the load to the cities, know
ling before hand that a shipment Is
often ten days in travelling $50 miles
on account of the elegant railroad
service we are used to and we Will
touch on the small grower who has
only apples to sell by the bushel
barrel or a load or two to dispose OF.
The man who has neither time to
prune, spray, mulch or pick his APP
Piles properly grabs dozen more OF
less of empty grain sacks, goes TO
the orchard, he picks up over-ripe
and green apples, bruised and dam
aged, big and small, fills the sacks
and throws them in a wagon and
drives to his town, mostly in trot
and offers his product to the fruit
dealers. They do not care to buy such
looking fruit, but the man says
buy goods from you the year around,
now take some of this load of mine
at your own price and you can give
me some goods in return. As favor
to a customer the dealer is almost
compelled to yield, and consequently
he buys several baskets and boxes
full and sets them around on the
floor in his store and the seller
drives on to the next place and gen
orally succeeds in making the same
kind of a deal until his load is
disposed of.
The uncared for, wormy and UNI
sprayed fruit always ripens first, it
drops first, as of course its ready for
market first.
In few days the farmer who has
time to prune, mulch, spray and pick
his fruit or apples properly comes
to town with a load of his stuff. The
dealer says you got nice looking
fruit, but see here | bought this for
one-half of what you ask, although
your price is not too much for such
elegant fruit, but the sale is to slow,
people do not seem to want apples.
All this stuff is rotting on my hands
and | hate to buy more until this is
sold, even if your apples are fine,
and consequently it is generally dis
couraging to both parties or all par
ties. People, as a rule, do not care
for poor fruit, even if it is cheap.
But the good stuff is often compared
more in price than in quality. The
poor, cheap stuff blocks the sale of
the better grade. Like a grower said
once, "a Ben Davis, when eaten,
blocks the way for three or more
good apples"
The only remedy l see for this is
compulsory spraying laws and we
would 500 all around better frlit and
people would appreciate the effort
that is made to produce the best and
would be more willing to pay what
it really is worth.
The hints as to the remedies for
these discouraging features or points
in horticulture are in my opinion:
More honest business methods on the
part of the nurserymen. More whole
some spraying and fruit laws and
more common sense in the managing
and caring for orchard and market
ing of the fruit.

LAKE TAHOE A WONDER SPOT
Surrounded by Awe-Inspir-
ing Mountains.

Nesting in a setting of rugged crags
and awe-inspiring mountains in de-
preston of the Sierra Nevadas, 6,22o
feet above the level of the sea, lies
Lake Tahoe, titled from the Washoe
Indian name, meaning "Big Water"
''High Water" 1t was wonder hunt
ing and fishing place of the Indians,
who first told the white man of it's
Clories; and the fame of the lake with
its outdoor wOnderlandS has been
spread now to the four corners of the
earth. The lake, noted for its crystal
depths, lies in bed of granite and
lava.
Scientists claim that ages ago a
great glacier creeping down from the
north gouged a canyon out from the
granite in Mount Tallac so profound
that when in later ages a volcano on
the east damned it with lava, the wa
tiers of the lake that formed behind the
barrier stood more than 1900 feet
deep.
Back In 1914 a party of explorers
headed by Capt John G. Fremont,
u. S. A, forcing its way through the
snow OF the Sierra Neyadas to the
promised land of the Sacramento val
icy, ran out Of food supplies. Climb
ing a ridge near camp, Fremont dis
covered the lake, and from that day
on it was practically in control of the
white man. It's 15-mile sweep makes
II a famous motorSoat course. Its
deep waters abound with huge trout,
and the glacial valleys about Tahoe
are dotted with lakelets, also filled
with trout.-Detroit News.

tendent of banking and for the state
board of education. The governor
sent in the names of the present in
cumbents whose terms are but tenn.
porary, and who must be confirmed
if they are to continue in office. The
senate declined to act at once on the
matter of confirmation, some of the
friends of the new governor, fearing
that he might not approve of the APP
pointments made and declaring that
he should make the appointments
and not Harding. At once the report
of "break" between the old and
new governors was reported and po-
litical tongues went wagging. How
ever, there was nothing more in it
than that 1t has been the practice of
retiring governors to submit their
temporary appointments for confir-
nation Of the senate, and Governor
Kendall put the seal of his approval
on at least the banking superintend-
ent, Mr.. Henderson, who was con-
frmed by the senate on Thursday.
However, Mr.. ketcham, for the state
board of education, was turned down,
it is said because Governor Kendall
wishes to appoint woman on the
board. And there is nothing discredit-
able to anybody concerned in the
whole matter.
