The long list of successes
'from the station's ornamental
horticulture program grows
yearly.
Canada's official centennial
tree, the Almey flowering crab-
apple, is one of the most
famous.
I This year, Snowbird haw-
thorn, a new flowering small free
with double white blooms, will be
available across the country.
It came from a cross made at
the station in 1935 between'an
English hawthorn antaLL,ve
species.
A littleleaf linden,Morden,
is a hardy new memer of the
basswood 'family that grows into
dense green pyramid. The
original tree stands 30 feet tall
in the arboretum where it has
proudly passed a 30-year test-
ing.
—Three decades isn't an unusual
length of time for developing
an ornamental tree.
"Hardiness is a big concern.
It takes a long time before a
tree convinces us it's important
enough to be named and re-
leased," Dr. Cumming said.
With such long-range projects
on the go, researchers in the
ornamentals section find plenty
of interim work to fill their
time,.
New methods' of propogation,
seed treatments for quicker and
more reliable germination, plant
identification and population
studies are major projects on
their own.
Recently Wilbert Ronald, an
ornamentals breeder and taxon-
omist at the station, worked with
Dr. Cumming and others to prove
that only two out of four native
poplar species are involved ' in
natural hybrids and that a Rus-
sian poplar introduced for prairie
ishelterbelts has mothered hyb-
rids with • the same two native
species.
The work included fingerprint-
ing the chemistry of the tree's
oils, waxes and other compon-
ents. The new information is
important in keeping well-defined
genetic histories for possible

for trial plantings.
The first lot of trees, set out
at the station in 1970, will have
grown to about 10 feet with a
diameter of 1 1/2 inches by the
time they're sent out in the spring
of 1974. Some of them will take
30 years to reach maturity.

The Easter April meeting of
Tuckersmith U.C.W. of Bruce-
field United Church' was held on
Monday and was opened with a
poem, "Easter Lilies", by Mrs.
Wilson McCartney.
Mrs. C. Ham was at the
piano. Scripture, Matt. 8:1-10
was read by Mrs. McCartney.
"Come and See the Place where
the Lord was Laid".
Mrs. M. Walters gave a read-
ing and Mrs. Mc
Cartney chose as her topic, "why
are you looking for Jesus Christ
is not dead?"
The offering was received by
Mrs. Walters and dedicated by
Mrs. McCartney. Mrs. Stall,
group president, presided for
business. The roll call,
"Easter"•was answered by fif-
teen members.
The money making' project,
10 for each meal during Lent
amounted to over twenty dollars.
It was decided to serve lunch
at the Haugh sale on April 18th.
The May meeting will be held
on May 14, in the evening, in
charge of Mrs, Mac Wilson .and

Pigs have a high degree of
adaptability to environmental
stress, but beyond certain limits,
stress ,can disrupt normal be-
havior, growth, breeding per-
formance and health. Generally
speaking, conte'hted pigs are pro-
fitable.
Since pork producers find
themselves operating on in-
creasingly smaller margins of
profit per pig, modern manage-
ment techniques tend to place
pigs under more physical' and
psychological stress.
Management stresses include
such things as reducing the
amount of floor space per pig,
reducing physical exercise by
confinement rearing, and exciting
the pigs by moving them to new
pens. Mixing of litters and the
separating of sexes into new
groups upsets their established
social arrangement. •
' Continuing ^ studies net -under
way rlto;.; evalyate • r the extentt,to
which pigs,earr adapt to change
without affecting growth and
'reproductive performance.
These studies will indicate to far-'
mers just. how much stress can
be tolerated by pigs in order
to produce pork economically.
To date, research has. revealed
that excessive stress is indicated
by abnormal sexual behavior,
decreased disease resistance,
reduced growth, poor repro-
ductive performance, and canni-
balism as a result of boredom
and depression. Some of these
reactions to undesirable environ,
ments are alsd "seen in--man,

Some people call the area
around Morden, Manitoba the
Garden of Eden of the Prair-
ies.
The Agriculture Canada Re-
search Station, here since 1915,
is doing what it can to pre-
serve that reputation.
In the process, it's helping
everyone, from the apartment
dweller in the midst of a modern
metropolis to the multi-million-
aire on his private estate, to
preserve his own smattering of
paradise.
Whether it's in a pot of soil
bought at the supermarket or
on the rambling acres of a
private retreat, ornamental
greenery is a priceless posses-
sion. —._a
"How do you put a value
on what we're doing?" asked Bill
Cumming, head of the orna-
mentals section at the research
station.
"The aesthetics and environ-
ment of man's living depend on
• green plants. Horne landscaping,
city boulevards, greenbelt plant-
ings and back yard gardens --
they all add beauty and clean air,
to our lives.
"Our ornamentals breeding
and research at the station affect
every -person in the country, even
though he may not realize. it."
The basis of Dr. Cumming's
statement lies hidden during the
winter months in the station's
snow-covered arboretum. But
even now the shrubs and trees
that rise above the snow are im-
pressive.
During. the summer, the
arboretum's 80 acres come alive
with mote than 2,000 species and
cultivars of woody ornamentals,
shrubs and trees.
"This is more than an oasis
for visitors," said Dr. Cumming.
"It's a scientist's tool, a
le place for testing newvarieties
and native material, as well as
a gene pool for breeding
programs."
Almost 500 varieties of lilacs,
100 flowering crabapple trees and
more than 100 poplars are here.
"we probablyhave the largest
collection of hardy woody orna-
mentals on this continent," he
