Hears Thedford Florist The Women’s Institute’s March meeting was held in the town, hall with “Agriculture and Can­ adian Industries” being the topic, Mrs. Carlyle Taylor, who -was in charge of the program, intro­ duced the speaker, Mr. Luscher, of Thedford, who spoke on the growing and care of flowers. “Plant in the full of the moon,” he said. Other hints were; No wet feet for lilies. Care should be taken on the placing of stones' in a rock garden, so it is not just a pile of stones. Peat moss, or well rotted manure should be mixed with heavy soil. He gave a lovely potted Christmas rose to the Institute which had been grown outside in his garden. All enjoyed his talk very much and he was thanked and invited back by the president, Mrs, Edward GUL The convention at Guelph in May was discussed. Mrs. Garnet Patterson is the area delegate.

Conference held in Sar­ nia early in March. Phyllis Cann and Marilyn Strang gave an in­ teresting account of their trip and the Conference which was attended by In Training tario. A special vice was carried out in which all of the members participated. Mrs. James Taylor read an ac­ count of the Christian Missionary work which Jack Miner carried on along with his work with our feathered friends. The main topic of the evening was an introduction to the land of Africa which was very aptly presented by Mrs. Arthur Whil- smith. She told something of the characteristics, customs, re­ sources and potentialities of this land of which we are becoming more and more aware. At the close of the meeting which was held at the home of Mrs. Fred Simmons, a talent table was set up. This has been a feature of the meetings for the past year and is the means by which the Auxiliary raises their expense money. Three members are asked to bring a “talent” to each meeting, usually in the form of baking, preserves, vege­ tables, eggs and so on. These articles are then priced and sold to members of the group. 150 Canadian Girls from Western On- Easter Worship ser- Extra Special PAINT SALE TOTAL VALUE $6.25 1 Quart SPRED SATIN ........ 1 U-Pint RIPOLIN ENAMEL 1 4-Inch NYLON BRUSH......

Dodge Regent Sedan Chev Delux Sedan Chev Standard Sedan Ford Custom Coach Predicts Good Fruit Prospects “I still think prospects are good for the apple industry,” said Prof. C. P. Kelly, of the Ontario. Agric- tural College, Guelph, when he spoke in Clinton Thursday at the annual meeting of the Huron Fruit Growers’ Association. /'I’ve been an optimist in the apple industry for quite a while/' said Prof. Kelly. “Apple growers have had a rough ride the last four or five years. If there is any group of agriculturists that have really been put through the wring­ er, the apple growers are that group,—but the pendulum has to swing the othes way some time/’ There is no doubt, said Prof. Kelly, that the acreage of orchards in Ontario is steadily shrinking in extent, and that the dangers of over-production are being reduced accordingly. Prof. Kelly was one of a panel of five experts who answered ques­ tions fired briskly by the apple growers who were in attendance at the 28th annual meeting of the H.F.G.A. His forecast of better times for Ontario apple growers was buttressed by another of the five .experts, George Mitchel), of Thornbury, president of the Geor­ gian Bay Fruit Growers Associa­ tion.
