Grand Bend W.l.
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.
A letter was read by Mrs.
Emery Desjardine from our sis
ter Institute in England thank
ing us for the Christmas parcel.
The nominating committee for
April is Mrs. Wellwood Gill, Mrs.
Roy Morenz and Mrs, Earl Burr.
Pot holders are to be brought
to the April meeting and there
will be a display of handwork
done during the winter.
Mrs. Alex Hamilton reported
for the hospital, There is an ap
peal for worn white cotton and
dusters and sewing to be done.
A duet was enjoyed given by
Mrs. Mae Holt, Mrs. Emery Des
jardine with Mrs. C. Smith at
the piano. Mrs. Roy Morenz com
mented on the motto, “One is
nearer God’s heart in the country
than anywhere else on earth.”

Caven Auxiliary Meets
With Mrs. Simmons
One of the highlights of
meeting of the Auxiliary of
W.M.S. this month was the
port of two delegates to
C.G.I.T. 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.

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.
