Sneaking Up on Rust

Agricultural experts Of the Central Experimental

ton of a new strain of wheat whose peculiar ad-
vantage is that it rpens ten days earlier than Mar

Ottawa 652Sp is creating no small interest among
the farmers, being the final outcome OF process
OF development that has been going on at the Al
berta station since 1919, near Lacombe so that it
is not an untried novelty
The yie.d OF the wheat is Is bushels and II
pounds, as against Marquis yield, under the same
condit ons c. As bushels ami pounds. So in re-
productive power it qualities well with the hest of
the other grains. its advantage apparent above all
others Is that it permits harvesting before the final
danger period for black stem rust Under favorable
conditions rust may develop early in any wheat,
but the usual hot and humid weather requisite Is
the growth OF the fungus comes just when the grain
IS "hnishing or and tllat is I'm the last two weeks
The new grain may, by ripening earlier, dodge a
big percentage Of the loss consequent to the last
minute development OF the spores OF rust.
The development OF such an early maturing

Did you ever stop to think how
much the success of their efforts de-
ponds upon you as individual citizens
and upon your understanding and

materially improved and the task
Of these workers in the field Of pub
lie health and welfare materially
lightened and made easier, just in
proportion as you as individuals re.

Disease is spread, at least in part
by carelessness, by lack of knowl.

or woman Indifferent to personal
responsibility is always menace
to the health Of q community; al

New YORK, Jan. 1Z.-AII America
has been listening in lately on the

young society girl. Ellin Mackay.

judges, mayors and magnates.
This is but one of the organiza-
tons working for years to- keep the
youngsters of east side gangs from
becoming gangsters.
Now the Beavers, for instance, were
as rough little gang of baby crap
shooters as anyone might find upon
the sidewalks Of New York.
One Of the spectacles that never
fails to get gasp from the New
York visitor is that of crowds of
we'll, who handle their dice with the
adeptness of q veteran. And they
gamble right up to the limit of their
pennies.
This sort Of thing leAds to all
sorts of petty pilfering-shoplifting
wares from the pushcarts, stealing
from the many little stores-and
hence, by slow processS of growth,
into larger thefts and perhaps prison.

that with gangs. The gang has to
be accepted as one and there must
be no classification. So I deigned to
accept the Beavers. That was six
years ago.

The kids already have q definite So

1t was most astonishing thing to

the deaths which occurred during the

as can. I know that If l do this
I will not jeopardixe the health of
others either by such = small per-
sonal act rs shifting carelessly. or
sneezing - coughing. especially sin
crowded public places or by the more
serious act Of carelessness. the fail
ure to observe the regulations of
my local health department.
I resolve to avoid excuses that
tend to lower the vitality and en-
courage thereby the invasions OF dis
ease.
resolve to adopt moderation in
all things.
resolve to keep regular habits
to take the proper amount of exer-
else and obtain . sufficient amount
Of sleep.

Modern business is much too big for any one
man to have outstanding place Business today
fs.a matter Of teamwork All Of us are cogs in a
great machine" {,
In these words Clarence P. Dillon, the latest
American to enter the ranks of the nations financial
wizards sums up his views on the industrial ana
business world of today.
There is no question about the growing complex
ity of things. Our banking and industrial concerns
are tremendous affairs-so tremendous that we orr
binary laymen wonder, at times, how any one man
can keep track of many details.
And yet, sound as Mr.. billions remark about team
work is, his own contradicts his assertion
that no one man can play an outstanding part
Ten years ago Mr.. Dillon was q clerk at $3.50 a
month. Now he is head Of the firm of Dillon Read
& Co. Last spring this firm put over the Dodge

Rubber Nav Snap Back at Britain

Any boy who ever went to school and who looked
across at Sadie Montgomerys back until he could
longer resist the paper wad temptation will tell you
that rubber if pulled too taut, is apt to snap back
at the shooter.
Downing Street doesn't seem to know this. When
Great Britain passed the Stevenson plan to artif-
ciay restrict production and export of rubber the
British East Indies, all wass very fine indeed Rub
Der, at the advanced prices the Stevenson plan
would provide, in four years would pay of the EN-
pire's World War debt Of four billions of dollars,
with the American auto owner at the paying end
All has not gone we'll. America has made few
outcr:es, Hoover has shouted for economy, and
American tire manufacturers are taking off their
Santa Claus whiskers and beginning to ask around
a. little il such things must be.
But worst of all now the British motor:st begins
to ask Downing Street what makes the hally things
costly.
Britain flew nice balloon in the Stevenson plan,
but few people looking around for pins.
