A letter, written by a soldier in Egypt, states that the Germans have erected a stone monument at Suda Bay inscribed lit German on one side "To Our Glorious Dead,” and in English on the other "To the Brave Anzacs.” The letter states that a friend had escaped from Crete and had described the monument. An organization which promises to prove very beneficial to New Zealand is the Humic Compost Club, formed recently In stales Captain E. V. Sanderson, president of the Forest and Bird Protection Society. “It has issued a bulletin, ’The Living Soil,’ the information in which, if applied, will enable many farmers, foresters, and gardeners to Increase greatly the returns from the soil. It is mentioned in this publication that the club holds, with Sir Albert Howard, Dr. Rudolph Steiner, and other pioneers that the health of the soil cannot be achieved unless the humus that has been taken from it is returned to it and maintained. All people who have given thought to the vitally important matter of maintaining fertility of the soil, on which national welfare depends, will holm heartily that branches of the club will be formed throughout the Dominion.”
