rwrai Our readers write Letters The Editor Someone has told me that in an editorial on the current farm worry mouth arid hoof disease you mentioned an Englishman who did some search on the subject The Englishman was Sir Al bert Howard who between the years and experi mented in three widely remote sections of India with the preva lent mouth and foot disease and proved the immunity of healthy animals to the trouble His find ings have been followed and time without number not only for one but for all dis ease Any who scoff at Sir Al bert Howard or doubt his re search are doing so with total disregard of the facts Sir Albert Howard was a highly trained scientist who served Britain as an agricultural research worker the greater part of his life He spent 27 years in India improving soil and production but he always learn ed from local peoples and based his experiments on natural laws- He insisted on working as an individual on a small farm con nected with the experimental station at in Bengal and later at had freedom to carry out his own ideas The world should rejoice that he did At Sir Albert had oxen He made these animals healthy J by good management and with fresh green fodder silage and grain all produced from fertile soil which he created by coop erating with nature and using barnyard muck until he had perfected the lav of return with compost He persuaded the veterinarians to inspect his animals but not to inoculate them His oxen rubbed noses across the fence with diseased animals He wrote Nothing happened the healthy wellfed animals reacted to this disease exactly as suitable varieties of crops when properly grown do to insect and fungus pests no infection took place So that all might convince themselves Sir Albert advocated taking an acre of land which is truly fertile through organic treatment and stocking it with animals also healthy through the same organic method and good management After the healthy animals are established on the acre field a few mouth and foot cases should be placed among them He writes the diseased animals will soon recover There will most likely be no infection of the healthy stock At the worst there will only be the mildest possible attack which will disappear in a fortnight or so Sir Albert did not consider mouth and hoof as a virus dis ease but a simple consequence of malnutrition due either to the fact that the proteins of the food have not been properly synthesized or to some obvious error in management He con demns the use of artificials in stead of muck and compost as an aggravation of the trouble This scientist gave the last 15 years of his life to spreading the gospel of Indore compost which he had perfected for the bene fit of the cotton growers in India but which the surface of the en tire earth is crying for He died iri London in one of the outstanding benefactors of his century His books published by and London are obtainable and will repay any one who reads them with an open mind Thank you Mr Editor if you can use some of this information Kate H Miles The White Cottage Ainslie Hill Farm Sutton West News The WI must be to and reports will branch will meet at the home of

beauty with lovely flowing line as if it had sprung up from the hand of the potter or it can be a tor tured twisted ugly shape hold ing no artistry declared Miss Mary Dickenson of Toronto one of Canadas outstanding potters and a member of the permanent exhibitors of Canadian Guild of Potters She spoke to King crafts Guild on Wednesday Feb ruary at the home of Mrs Eric Johnston Mrs J Grew first vice president was in the chair in the absence of Lady the president Pottery is the oldest craft in history When an ancient city was conquered by an enemy it was customarily plundered before being burned the speaker stated Pottery dishes were not consid ered worth carrying away Thus broken pieces were often the means of picturing the people of that period They revealed how high a degree of culture and ar tistry had been attained It is an absorbing craft said Miss Dickenson You can buy or even dig your own clay pre pare it for use and concoct your own glazes But the creative element is important for results will be exactly what the potter puts into the craft Nothing shows the character of its crea tor more readily than pottery she declared On the other hand a commercial pot can be glazed or painted and passed off as original That defin itely is not pottey affirmed the speaker Since Kingcrafts hopes to own a kiln the demonstration of clay moulding given by Miss Dicken son proved fascinating and in structive She showed how prim itive clay pots are built on a small hand wheel She usee im ported English clay containing a low percentage of lime and cap- ante of being fired at a high tem perature Homemade colored clay solutions were used to do slip painting in feathering and j giving good effect and she showed how to make a handle Miss Dickenson gave pointers to prospective potters First the initial outlay in equipment is expensive although glazes may be homemade reducing the cost of material There must be ade quate equipment and these should last a lifetime Each should have a frame and wheel and kilns must be high temperature She advised against making flowers in the early stages of the work Mrs Partridge thanked Miss Dickenson speaking of her per sonal
