Another authority maintains that most failures with peat soils has been "over drainage or underdralnage." A method used In Ireland ror reclaiming peat soils Is to dig ditches about 2!fc feet deep about 2'2 feet apart, piling the excavated material between the ditches. On this high ridge, spuds are planted that just about yield back the seed that first year. The second year, such rock or other waste materials as are available are thrown in bottom of ditches, the ditches filled with the material previously taken from them ahd the Intervening origi nally In lilacS peat Is then taken out ahd plied oh that. In this spuds are again planted. The second year the yield Is somewhat better. The third war the ridges are levelled down ahd spuds again planted. From then on yield Is excellent and soil clalrried to be Inexhaustible! ThU method requires ah In ordinate amount of Work biit takes ho cash for fertiliser as the reliance Is on the release of plant food from the peaty base by natural decay. Applied to small areas like potholes In the rock around Prltice Rupert or to city lots might be worth trial and certainly would look no worse than some of your outlying lots look now. A field method recommended by the B.C. agriculture department 35 years ago was: First, drainage, depth not specified. When surface had dried to a depth of four or five Inches, bum that surface depth to provide the readily soluble mineral elements of plant food, plow or disc as shallowly as passible, plant root crops, oats or barley. ThLs method provides some success but must be repeated at periods of a few years. It can also slowly or more rapidly destroy organic matter that Is peat. Along about the turn of the century, large areas of peat were reclaimed in northern Minnesota. The above method was used. Eventually? one dry season, a fire got away'from them and the peat was burned down to the purely mineral base on which It was established and even the mineral soil was badly burned. At best that mineral soil was unproductive and now It Is Improbable that it can ever be made productive. I believe many bf the drainage ditches have been nluerced In 'the hope that water would be imponded In the area and a growth of water plants restored. The later method recommended by the B.C. asrlcultural de partment was an adaptation of I a Swedish method that Is, drain your peat land, apply about 120 yards sand (or somewhat more of other mineral soils) Der acre, plow deeply as possible, plant to the best adapted crops. This method requires possibly the least outlay of cash or effort of any and gets fairly quick results. Much peat land can be drain ed, plowed deeply, dressed with a couple hundred pounds of pnosptiate fertilizer per acre, and set to producing grasses Immediately. Otheri require a couple hundred pounds of potash fertilizer as well since the plentiful supply or nitrogen In peat is not always tod readily available and amonlum phos phate Is one of the cheapest phosphate fertilizers. THURSDAY BOND SALES $65,600 Purchases of Eighth Victory Loan bonds both through canvassers and oh payroll deductions plans continue to drive up Prince Rupert's dally total, setting the fdur-day aggregate, up to Thursday lilght, at $247,-000. Citizens bought bonds to the Value of $65,C0d on Thursday. Total for the comparable period Hi the Seventh loan drive was $257,050. and the day's sales were $82,100. Indicative or their sense of thrift and patriotism It the purchase by Barry and Roy Lashmar, sons of Cpl. A. T. Lashmar of the city police detachment, of a $50 bond which they bought wltli money they earned by doing odd lobs and selling papers. ThLs was the third bond the boys have fin anced in that way. Jaseph Beruschl, manager of the Royal Hotel, says that all of his employees expect to buy bonds, ahd that all workers oil the day shift have already made purchases. At W. If. Malkln company, 99 percent of the employees have bought bonds through group payroll deductions. Donald R. Eby $ 200 Douglas Cawthra 50 Harry II. Herget 500 William P. whyte 100 Miss E. A.

However, lf'ed their, quota on the opening one Isn t In a rush, properly drained peat, worked as deeply as possible, will generally catch a grass crop at once and by second year yield a'cfoji. The necessity for deep Ullage is that peat may hot release water stored within It even- though It Is ditched, al least not readily. Dlgglnc It to a depth permits' the stored water to get away and the air to force Its way Into the material and thus speed up decay and the release of the pickled plant food. This plant food is really a sort of pickled by humlc acid, some thing like cabbage in krauled, or corn siloed. The water table in peat land should be maintained at about 30 Inches' And capllarlty main talned by compacting the plow ed ground by rolling It. Itolllng the peat, cannott of course, put it back in its original compact ness and that would be alto gether Undesirable. Art experiment that should be tried in peat land reclamation Is the tunning of a so-called "chlseP at intervals of about day of the campaign. P. W.

The public was not even aware of the journey, let alone the Im-pending return. Nevertheless some twenty hours before the convoy was due to pass, people were collecting along the shore, groups of fishing boats were anchoring at convenient points enroute. How Did They Know? It was evident that both the route and time schedule were known outside of official circles. The information could only have leaked out through the indiscreet communication of apparently unimportant scraps of news by otherwise conscientious and patriotic Canadians . . . The result, if enemy agents had been able to take action, could have been a disaster of the first magnitude! . . .
