' Ships have been built ,at 'Belfast
. since 1636, and the world's great-
est yard is now Harland and Welff's.
at Queen's Island. The world "Is-
land" was used because the earliest
shipyards were little more than - a
water -bound . patch of mud. After.
200 years of minor developments,

. tuoe, radish and spinach • will •be
among the earliest vegetables that
are sown. These may •be planted••as
soon as the ground. is fit to work.
All of the seeds should be sown at
' least.th•ree troves at intervals of ten -
days,so• that there' will be succor-
sion,of vegetables. The second sow-
ing will be carrots.. beets, onions,

SHORT -CUTS •
• To get .started• in a hurry one is"
advisedto purchase a certain quan-
tity of started plants of both 'flow-

to get the varieties wanted; and on
this account itis 'an excellent idea
to 'consult a good Canadian seed

The census is''expeete'd to sheer
something else: that the Canadian'
people are growing older. A gener-
ation ago, Canada Was known as
' the young man's country. • It' is not
'so much that, now, because the
years have piled on the shoulders
, of the young people of the early

people, from abroadfand the native- ••

of maintaining the status, quo in •
which the well-to-do have so ouch
and others have so little. There ti,r•e '
standard's of living which should
improve whether the country le at

those who are able to bear it, and
