Brome Grass Shown Superior to Timothy in Hay Mixtures
RK Ashford notes since 1942 abatable area tests show brome grass outperforms Timothy in long and short term hay mixtures. Long term mixes with 5 pounds of alfalfa and 6 pounds of brome yield 2.56 tons per acre, compared with 2.08 to 2.40 tons for Timothy based mixes. Brome persists better in pastures, with denser sod and greater trampling resistance, while alfalfa remains dominant when paired with Timothy. Timothy remains important in west central British Columbia but brome offers superior productivity in many cases.

Longer life for stair carpeting
Homeowners can extend stair carpet life by loosening tacks and swapping the carpet so wear is spread from treads to risers. Decide pull direction by conditions. leaving the lower riser exposed helps prevent heel snagging. Some advise reversing entire length, but many favor moving the worn bottom portion to the top due to higher wear at the foot.
Grain varieties rarely run out in yield over time
Farmers believe grain varieties thin out or resist disease less with years of use, but plant scientists say true gun out is rare. Yields may change slowly with hereditary shifts, though visible appearance stays largely the same. Tests at single locations over time show no real yield decline, and maintaining purity with fresh foundation stocks keeps deterioration distant.
Water Houseplants by Soil Dryness for Best Care
Daily soil checks guide watering. If the surface is hard, water and stir the soil. Some plants hold moisture long, others dry quickly. Water in the morning for optimal results. Consider soil type, room conditions, and plant location when scheduling watering.
Rich Spring Fabrics Dominate New Look In Fashion
A crisp buoyant spring fabric picture centers on easy care, light weight textures. Linen blends and linen like weaves appear with embroidery and prints, while plaid linens, shibby weaves, and random tweeds shape the season. Silk and viscose blends, wool blends, and rich silks define dress up styles with crisper textures and bulky hands.
Rust resistant oat varieties boost Manitoba yields
Differences in oat yields stem from rust resistance. Exeter Ajax Garry and Rodney show high performance with 55 70 and 80 bushels per acre, while Victory suffers 36. Ajax Exeter lead in replacing older susceptible types, accounting for about 75 percent of Manitoba oat acres. Garry Rodney offer strong rust resistance. industry output in Canada’s plastics rose to 44.541 million dollars by 1953.

Bill Chadwick to Retire After 16 Year NHL Refereeing Career
New York native Bill Chadwick, longtime NHL official and 16 year veteran of Stanley Cup playoff games, will retire at season end. He has traveled about 3,000 miles yearly and 700,000 miles in total, with no missed assignments. Chadwick hopes to be remembered as competent as NHL referee-in-chief Carl Voss calls him the greatest official in hockey.

Bridge Row Exposes Wife Suspect in Twin Tables Match
In a duplicate match, one table saw Six Spades broken and Heart honours held while South disposed of a Club loser and the contract was made. At the other table West led a heart, South misread and claimed the rest after tabling cards. The wife, trailing behind, mused that a heart finesse could have saved the game, noting the misplaced discards.

White bread as nutritive as brown in tests on undernourished children
A British Medical Research Council report on postwar German child nutrition finds growth similar in children aged five to 15 issued with whole wheat flour, wartime 85 percent extraction flour, 70 percent extraction white flour, or white flour enriched with vitamins and iron. Two test groups show white bread supports growth as well as wholemeal, suggesting wheat's high nutritive value and implications for Canada’s wheat export interests.
