Robert Weir, minister of agriculture, said that for several weeks he had been working on plans whereby Canada would supply Russian farms with dairy cattle, with payment In soviet oil.

It is understood the proposal vrill probably he decided upon finally soon after Premer Bennett returns from ftreat Britain this week. Under the proposed arrangement, the Canadian company would assume ownership of the oil shipments as soon as they leave the Black Sea ports and the soviet would take over the cattle at tho Canadian ports. sling shot made of wool and capable of throwning a large stone with great force and accuracy. They even kill sheep with them, and use them ns a weapon of defense. SOOO YEARS OLD Mannings most valuable exhibit is a collection of relics taken from a tomb on the coast of southern Peru.

It includes beautifully woven cloth of cotton and wool, sewing and weaving implements and a crude sling shot, all 3,000 years old, yet remarkably preserved. In that country the dead are (Continued from Page Onel These are so made that when the arrow tip penetrates the fish the tip comes off but is fastened to the rest of the arrow by a string. Some of these fish arrows have two detachable points so that fish are speared and strung in one operation. The arrows unwind the string after the fish is speared, the arrow being of very light wood so that it floats and both arrow and fish may be retrieved. The arrows, particularly those of the Chunehris Indians, are cleverly feathered.

The feather is split and LATON spiraled around the end of the shaft Juried either in private rooms 'in homes OY in community burial rooms of brick which are built one upon the other as they are filled, sometimes making a veritable mountain. The bodies are burled in a sitting position and are wrapped with mummy cloth. The arid atmosphere of that district is a perfect preservative, some of the mummies several thousand years old still being perfectly preserved so that the colo.r of the eyes and hair and cheeks may still be determined. The personal belongings of the dead are wrapped up with them, it being one of these collections of personnel things that Manning obtained. They include a woman's needle and spinning top, raw cotton and wool, beads, a work basket of fibre, and some ncca or arrow root for food.

Manning also found in the tomb some perfectly preserved corn 3000 years old. The cloth from the tomb is beautifully woven and dyed. With the other effects was a fibre sling shot much like In such a way that the arrow turns slowly but truly as it flies through the air. The feather is wound to the shaft with tiny bark fiber and is waxed into place. The arrows are not notched but are wound at the end with fine string so that they fit the bow string perfectly.

Manning has an excellent example of a wood fish hook of chonta wood. The hook, about six Inches has three spears and is made of three pieces of sharpened wood so that it is as solid as if the hook were in one piece. He has seen natives catch 150-pound fish on these woodon hooks, using two pounds of meat for bait. RARY HAMMOCK Manning also has a unique baby hammock made of penka fiber and so woven that there is not a single knot in the entire hammock, which is some seven feet long. Penka fiber, untwisted, is also used by tlie Indians to make mats, some fine examples of this type of work being the collection.
