Uhall ge To Canada To Put British Empire In Forefront < Of Airship Transportation Registered and Certified Seed New Regulations Are To Apply At Royal Winter Fair An important forward step to pro- mote the commercial production and distribution of registered and certi- fied seeds in Canada has been taken by the Royal Winter Fair, to be held | in Toronto, November 19 to 27. A/| new class has been added to the| Royal program for seed growers of wheat, oats and barley, confined to competitors whose growing crops have been inspected in the field under the p: of the Dominion Seeds Act and who have not less than 50 bushels of registered and certified’ seed grain for sale in a commercial way. The actual exhibit will consist of one-half bushel sample and may be taken from the current crop or that of the previous harvest. By the new conditions the prize winning half ‘bushels must come from a 50 bushel bulk of the same quality and must be entered in the unbroken package sealed by an ac- credited inspector at the time he in- spects and seals the bags or other containers of the main commercial crop. Briefly this means it will be possible for farmers to buy seed grains by sample with official assur- ance that the bulk will equal sample. Prize winning in the past did not give this guarantee, because entrants could hand pick the best half bushel from a large quantity of mixed grain. Over 80 prizes are offered. The spring wheat classes include the Marquis group, Garnet, Reward, Huron and Mindum. Those varieties of winter wheat, oats and barley ap- proved for registration are eligible. Barley may be six-rowed or two- rowed. The 1930 dates for the Royal Winter Fair are November 19 to 27. Ea 2 A challenge to Canada to take the “next step in putting the British Em- ’ pire in the forefront of airship trans- portation through the fnauguration ef a trans-Atlantic service between Great Britain and Canada before the service between Germany and the United States, being planned by Dr. ‘Hugo Eckener, gets under way, was ‘yoiced recently by Sir Dennistoun Burney, designer of the dirigible R-100. Sir Denistoun spoke before the Canadian Club, of Ottawa. The sponsor of the first Great Bri- tain-to-Canada airship flight asked for the of a of prominent Canadian ‘business men to investigate the situation and dectio whether the Canadian Government and business interests were prepared to back a trans-Atlantic airship ser- vice. With the views of such a com- mittee before him, he would be able to lay a concrete proposition before the British Government on his re- turn to London, England, . He was prepared, he said, to un- dertake at once the construction of an airship with a cruising speed ot 85 miles per hour, carrying fuel for 6000-mile flight together with 100 passengers and 10 tons of mail. With "a fleet of such vessels a regular ser- vice between Canada and Great Bri- tain could be maintained, taking 2% days for the westward crossing and two days for the eastward. He named $1,000 as the initial passenger fare, but predicted a gradual reduc- tion until it would compare favor- ably with steamship fares. It was time to take a bold forward step, Sir Dennistoun asserted. If the British Empire was to be knit to- gether culturally, economically and politically, a rapid means of com- munication had to be provided. A service to Canada offered better im- mediate prospects of success than the proposed eastward service . to India and Australia. Before the proposal could be put in effect, he said, there were finan- cfal and political handicaps to be overcome. Referring to the presence of Mr. Bennett and Mr. King, he said with the co-operation of hoth parties the political difficulties would disap- Eskimos Play Golf Ancient Scottish Game Introduced To Natives North Of Churchill Eskimos play golf—not a variation of the game like “African golf,” but the real thing as practiced in Scot- land.

A. E. Porsild, who investigated the possibilities of the Western Arctic as | a home for reindeer, has left for the | west coast of Hudson's Bay, on a| similar mission. . Mr. Porsild and his brother, Porsild, were commissioned by Government, some years ago, to car- ry out an investigation in the western Arctic, to ascertain whether the country produced enough moss, lich- en and other reindeer fodder, to sup- port these animals in any number. The brothers reported favorably, and the Government bought 3,000 head from Loman Brothers, of Alaska. These reindeer are now on the long trek round the northern corner of the continent, bound for Kittigazult, at the mouth of the MacKenzie Riv- Ret. | the © The Canadian Government saved the buffalo from extinction from North America by similar measures years ago, and now has so many buffalo that they are being distribut- ed all over the North West. It is hoped that the same success will at- tend the reindeer experiment, and that the natural increase of the Kit- tigazuit herd will enable the stock- ing of the territory west of Hudson Bay. The latter problem depends on the herbage of the area north of the so-called barren lands. Eastern Apple Crop Crop Eight Per cent.

On the political side, he men- tioned the necessity of long-term mail contracts and building loans at reasonable interest rates. On the financial side, all that was required Was money, and if the business men of Canada got behind the scheme there would be no difficulty. There were no technical difficulties. Dr. Hugo Eckener, designer of the Graf Zeppelin, Sir Dennistoun said, was organizing a German-American company to operate a service’ be- tween Germany and the United States. If Canada would co-operate the Canadian service would be in operation before the German. “We could promise regularity of service by establishing an emergency - base some hundreds of milés south of Montreal," said {ir Dennistoun.

The writer shows how the marvel- ous efficiency of machinery affects labor in two ways.

On her flight to Canada, the R-100 gathered 44 tons additional water from rain and cloud moisture. This involved a saving of $12,820.50 worth of hydrogen gas, since ordin- arily the capta'n is forced to release hydrogen to compensate for the loss in weight of gasoline fuel as it is con~ sumed, Helium, a non-inflammable lifting gas, is preferable to hydrogen for use in airships, according to airship ex- perts. Canadian geologists say that geological formations in the neigh- borhood of Hudson's Bay and Labra- dor indicate strong possibilities of producing helfum, which is extreme- ly favorable to any airship service between Europe and Canada. £7 b
