An adequate supply of pure water

the bees, is as essential as food and
protection at this ^time of year.
To prevent the false impression
being formed that because bees are
subject to disease, some honeys
might not be used for food, it is im
portant to draw attention to the fact
that what effects bees produces ab
solutely no effect on human beings
So far as bee disease is concerned,
all honeys are perfectly safe for
food. Further, it may be noted
that honey, instead of promoting di
sease, tends to retard it, because
most of the disease organisms that
attack man can not live in honey.
Honey draws the water of their con
struction from the organisms that
kills them.

Export Apple Market
In a report on market conitions
in Great Britain fob Ontario apples
during the past season, Mr. Aindrew
Fulton, overseas fruit representative
makes the significant statement that
‘‘in spite of the difficulties encoun
tered on the export market, there
was always a demand for good qual
ity dessert and cooking apples at
satisfactory sterling values. Unfor-
fortuntely there were insufficient
shipments of Canadian barrelled
apples of outstanding colour and
quality reaching the United Kingdom
after December to meet the demand
for this class of fruit. Red Bald
wins landing in firm condition never
failed to meet a gooa reception and
made values ranging from 24 to 27
shillings for No. 1 quality. Cran
berry Pippins were in good demand
and made good values whenever the
fruit landed in sound, firm condi
tion. The McIntosh should be ex

variety is evidently unsuitable to

of the Spys exported are lacking in

another red variety suitable for ex

Hedges Require Foresight
Trimming hedges requires years of
foresight. One inch of growth left
on the hedge each year is equivalent
to two1 inches in width each year.,
with the result that in twenty-five
years the hedge would be over four
feet wide at the base. The hedge will
be thicker and more easily controlled
if it is cut back almost to the old
wood each year. The end of June is
a good time to trim.

The simplest method of increas
ing roses is by the layering method.
Take a branch that may be bent
down, remove leaves and cover it
with soil in spring, or during early
summer. Rooting will take place
more readily if the branch is injured
by cutting into the base of a bud
under the soil. The climbers are very
easily increased in number by this
method.
It is well to top dress the lawn at
this time with bone meal. Keep lawn
properly cut and edges trimmed.
The shrubs that bloom in spring
and early summer should be prun
ed after flowering, this permits of
vigorous young growth which flow
ers the following year. Thin out the
old wood, keeping the plant in a
good shape. Avoid taking too much
wood from atty one part of the shrub
simply thin it out on all sides.
Where shrubs are growing in dry
soil it iS wise to provide some form
of ground cover, such as rotted
leaves or straw. A mulch is also
advised for nswly planted eveiV
greens.

enjoys an unusually wide popularity
which does not seem to diminish
with time, for the hymn was written
over 100 years ago. The author was
the young English clergyman, Reg
inald Heber, who later at the age of
40 years was called to the Episco
pate at Bishop of Calcutta, India.
This famous hymn was written on
the spur of the moment, it was just
before Witsunday, 1819, that Heber
was visiting

the Propagation of the Gospel. Dean
Shirley had arranged to hold a spec
ial missionary service. As prepara
tions were being made it was felt
that no appropriate hymn for the
choir was available for the occasion.
In his perplexity the Dean turned to
his young son in law, asking him
‘‘You are a bit of a poet, could you
not help us out?”
The young rector immediately sat
down at a window of the old vicar
age began to write, and within two
hours read to his astonished father
inlaw the lines which make up the
greatest missionary hymn of the
ages. Whitsunday, 1819, according^
ly is the date on which this hymn
was first sung in the Christian
church.
The story of the tune to which
the hymn is sung is equally interest
ing. A copy of Heber’s words had
come into possession of a Christian
woman in Savannah, Georgle. The
unusual meter interested her, and
hearing of a young bank, clerk who
had a local reputation as composer,
sent the poem to him. Within half
an hour it was returned with the
beautiful tune ‘‘Missionary Hymn”
to which it is now universally sung.
The young bank clerk was none
other than Lowell Mason, who af
terwards achieved fame as one of
America’s greatest hymn tune com
posers. The marvel is that both
words and music were written almost
in a moment.
Heber is the author of other well-
nown hymns, chief among them his
hymn of adoration, “Holy, Holy,
Holy, Lord God Almighty!” Alfred
Tennyson regarded this as the
world’s greatest hymn.
Today we quote the three first
stanzas of Heber’s missionary hymn
the fourth stanza having been added
in later years.

Windsor, Ont.,—George Foss, born
65 years ago on a farm between Ail-
sa Craig and Crediton, entered the
United States when he was two
years old, with his parents. He be
came a successful farmer, took part
in politics and voted for 40 years
he claims.
Now he is held in Windsor, bar
red from the United States, he says
because he voluntarily tried to clear
his citizenship record when
questioned.
'Two years ago he went to
to help his son, a verteran
American expeditionary force, on a
farm but decided to return to the
United States, he said. He was held
at Great Falls, Montana, for 48 days
and then discharged when affidavits-
were presented showing his record
and good character.
He went to his daughter’s home
near Battle Creek, Mich., and then
went to Detroit to get his record
cleared. He was told, he was not a
citizen of the United States because
his father had merely filed intention
to become a. citizen in 1874. He
was directed to come to Windsor to
get a visa, from the United States
consul, and then return.- He cannot
get the visa because he cannot pro
duce his birth certificate.
Mayor Dqvid Croll of Windsor
and others are trying to bring the
problem before the United States
Secretary of Labor, through the
Canadian immigration channels.
Crushed beneath the wheels of a
motor car that was being driven
down a barn gangway, Warden Al
len, 11, youngest son of George C.
Allen, St. Marys was perhaps fatally
injured. He is in a serious condition
in Victoria Hospital, London, with a
fractured skull and other severe
head injuries.
The boy had gone from his home
to visit his brother who works at the
farm of Edward Dunsleth on the
outskirts of St. Marys. About 5> p.m.
Sunday afternoon, Harold Dunsieth,
son of the farm owner, was backing
his car from the barn unaware that
the other boy was at the rear. It is
believed that young Allen was sitting,
on the ground at the edge of the
runway and was caugnt, the wheels
of the car passing over his head.
Ball’s ambulance was summoned
from St. Marys, and the injured boy
removed to the London hospital in
charge of Dr. Smith. There an X-ray
wa taken that revealed the skull
fractured. His face and head was
badly crushed by the car wheels.
Early Monday his condition was re
garded as decidedly serious.
