Brophey was ac cepted. storing Vegetables Keeping vegetables from the home garden for -winter use is one way to save; those who have no garden still save by buying fruit and veg etables at relatively lower prices in the fall and keeping them for later use when prices are higher. Good vegetables can be kept in good condition for a long time with the proper temperature and t'he right degree of humidity, or moisture in the air. With a few exceptions, vegetables .keep best at a tempera ture of about 32 degrees Fahren heit. Root crops and leafy vege tables require a high degress of 'hu midity. The best storage conditions for the vegetables commonly stored may be summarized as follows: Cool and moist, beets, carrots, parsnips, salsify, turnips, winter ra dishes and celery. Cool and moderately, moist: Cab bage and potatoes. The atmosphere should be moist, but not enough to allow accumulation of water in drops upon the stored product. Cool and dry: Onions and dry beans. Warm and dry: Squashes., pump kins and seed potatoes. A dirt floor usually provides more moisture in the air than a concrete cellar floor, and sprinkling the cel lar helps to provide enough moisture in many cellars. Before storing vegetables, sort out carefully and •discard any that are diseased or bruised. Poor Seed Crop and Mrs. Milton As a result of the extreme dryness in the summer of 193 6 and the lack of sufficient snow cover last winter, the 1937 clover seed crops in Canada are the poorest in many, years. In fact, total failures are reported over large areas of Ontario and Quebec which normally produce large quan tities of clover seed. This, is partic ularly true of alsike in Ontario and red. clover in Quebec. For Canada as a whole, the red clover seed produc tion is not expected to exceed 10 per cent, of normal, while alsike will even be less. Because of its deep rooted charac ter, alfalfa resisted last year’s drought mutch better, and consider able seed from the first cutting of the 1937 crop has. been, harvested in Ontario. There has been seed, however, from second alfalfa. A fair crop of sweet clover is also in prospect. Timothy production is about normal and with the substantial carrying last year there will 'be of seed of this kind. over from no- shortage Donald Marquis, 16, The Har- of Mr. Mr. L. charge as fol- Isaac; say you’re a self-maae observed Jones ,“i don’t More than you can say," re “You man?" deny it. plied Benson, “Well, it just shows the weakness of unskilled labor?"

The fertlizers used, for this purpose, being com posed of phosphates and potashes, do not leech from winter snows and rains, and the .plant food they sup ply is ready to give the desired re sults with the first growth in the spring. Further, the fall application is a saving of time in the spring when so many other farm operations demand attention, •s-ne application may be made either before or after the freeze up. , The specially balanced fertilizers for this purposs recommended by. the Provincial Fertilizer Boards are: 0 12 6, O 12 10, O 12 15, O 16 6, 0 H6/ 10, and 0 1'6 12, t0‘ be applied at the rate of at least 300 .pounds per acre.

The little Ontario town of Bramp ton. is the centre of the cut flower industry 'of Canada. What is be lieved to be the first flower farm in that district was founded about sixty years ago by an Old Country garden er and his son. The growing of roses was their hoblby. Following the success that attended their ef forts others became interested, and so year by year the 'greenhouses spread on t'he Brampton countryside and the superb quality of the Bramp ton roses became known far and wide amongst horticulturists, who lifted their hats in acknowledgement of a triumph. Millions of roses are plucked each year .in this district a- long with uncounted millions of other flowers, to say nothing of the production from asparagus beds, hot house tomatoes and all kinds of choice garden things. The latest statistics show over eight million roses sold as cut flow ers, greenhouse grown -in Ontario in a year, to which the Brampton con tribution is very notable. FjARM PROVIDES FARE FOR HALLOWE’EN FEAST Famous for its apples and apple orchards and a wide variety of • pro ducts of the. farm, Canada has an abundance of essentials to> celebrate Hallowe’en in the traditional man ner. The feast of Hallowe'en pre dates the Christian era, and its Druidical emblem, the mistletoe, is a particular parasite of the apple tree. The custom of decorating the table at Hallowe’en in black and yellow, or black and gold, or black and or-“ ange, perpetuates the favorite colors of the ancient sorcerers. The yel low had its origin in the fruits of the earth, for example the green apple, then the .yellow or golden fruit, or the green ear of the crops and the yellow sheaf. The black represents the salble robes of the Druid necromancers who wore that color in tribute to Shanan, the lord of death and evil spirits who once a year went on the rampage on the eve. of the feast. For the-Druits were great magic- / ians. The word comes from the Gaelic “druidh," a magician. The Druids were a religious order among the ancient Celts, and their office appears to hayp combined that of priest, physician, wonder-worker, historian, and law-giver, the order comprising three principal grades— bards, vates or prophets; and the Druids proper, the priests'. It is not known whether Druidism was a pre Celtic religion taken over by the Celts from the aborigines of Europe, but the Celts themselves ascribed its Origin to the British. The fact that mistletoe was held sacred has led to the belief that Druidism was origin ally a form of tree worship, and why not the apple tree witn its growth, of fruit and mistletoe. However that may be, Canada with an abundance of apples and generous supplies of farm products can afford to celefbrate this ancient feast in a royal manner, even if Witches ride on broomsticks on that night and imps of earth and air (hold riotous carnival unseen. Hal lowe’en in Canada is -particularly identified with apples, and this year’s bumper apple crop ought to give zest to a record celebration. One Worry Critic— You were swindled over this Rembrandt.
