I think what does happen when a number of varieties are grown together, the salmon varieties multiply much faster than most other colors especially the darker ones, As the bulbs increase the surplus is given away or des- troyed and in this way the pro- lific salmon bulbs increase.

If, by this, they mean keeping the surface between the plants hoed up in a rough open manner, my answer is no. Weed seeds are continually blowing over the surface of our gardens looking for such a spot to germinate. They hold in a ridge of the rough soil and the first rain covers them up, I cannot think of a better way to cultivate weeds. I do not want weeds in my garden to compete with my roses for food and moisture, so I slice them off with a sharp hoe dis- turbing the soil as little as pos- sible. If the surface is reason- ably level, the weed seeds keep going as I wish them to, Most of the rose roots are down 10 to 12 inches and all they are interested in is food, water and air. They do not care if the surface is worked up or level. You supply the food in the form of bone meal or liquid fertilizer or both and nature takes care of the water with your assistance, in case of long dry periods, and dew worms aerate the soil. If your drainage is not good, work in some humus in the form of leaves in the Fall, old sawdust or peat moss. If possible, dig it in before you plant your roses. I sometimes think we growers are more fussy than the roses. Exeter Promenaders host area square dance clubs GLADIOLUS Large gladiolus bulbs should be planted 5 or 6 inches deep and about four inches apart in rows. If you grow a large number you can increase the blooming period over 6 or 8 weeks by dividing your bulbs into 3 or 4 lots and planting them at two week in- tervals. An easy way to fertilize is to fill in half the soil in the trench and then spread a little bone meal before filling in the balance, rain will take it down to the bulbs with- out any waste. The new bulbs grow after the blooms are cut so they should be left in the ground as long as poss- ible without running into frost, After the bulbs are lifted and the tops cut off one half inch above the bulb and thoroughly dried, re- move only the first skin so your bulbs will be clean, the other skins should be left on to protect the bulb. Now they should be dusted with DDT dust. I found the easiest way was to cut the handle off a 6 or 11 quart basket, depending on how many bulbs you have and make a box with open top and window screen on the bottom and 6 or 8 inches high. Now take a large paper bag and pht in 2 or 3 tablespoons of DDT dust and your first variety of bulbs, fold the top of the bag over a couple of times and then turn it upside down and back a few times so that each bulb will be completely covered with aline layer of dust, then open the bag and run the contents into the box with the screen on the bottom which Is sitting in the bottom of the basket. By giving the box a few gentle shakes the dust will fall through the screen into the basket and the bulbs can be put into their basket ready for storage. With a small scoop lift the dust from the basket and put it back in the bag with the next variety, re- peat till your bulbs are all dusted, then put the remaining dust back in the tin to be used the next year. They are now ready for storage in a cool, dry place. I keep mine in 6,quart baskets, as many as 100 varieties, on open shelves for ventilation and at the front of each basket, through the rim at the top, I drill a hole and insert a chicken leg band and in this I put a shipping tag. On this you can put the date purchased, the name, the color or any in- formation you wish and it is all in sight without moving the bas- kets. The white stakes 2 1/2 feet long can have the name of the variety and the color printed on with black paint. By having the color on the stake you can detect any mistake when they are in bloom. Some people think that new col- ors revert back to the early sal- mon color, I have never found in the Hensall Arena. Children will be coming to Hensall with their parents and callers from the same areas the adult square dancers were from. Dancing will be held from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m., with Roy Fenn of London as Mas- ter of Ceremonies. Exeter Legion Hall was the scene Saturday for the highlight of the square dancing season for this part of Ontario. It was the final meeting and banquet to wind up this year's association activi- ties. The afternoon was spent square dancing, with new move- ments being "workshopped" and tried out. If they are graceful movements and work in well with other steps, they usually become part of the regular calls. Most of these originate with American callers, and become part of the square dance vocabulary wher- ever modern square dancing is carried on. Part of the afternoon was spent learning a new round dance, as well as doing the old favorites. Callers for the after- noon session were Lloyd Bu- chanan, Earl Bowles, Perry Promenaders, who were hosts four years ago for the final SWOSDA meeting. As several banners were missing at the end of the evening, there will be some inter-club dancing be- fore summer. At the conclusion of a success- ful day and evening, the guest caller, Butch and Pat Little, and the new SWOSDA executive were entertained by the Promenaders executive at a coffee party at the home of Wayne and Marj Tuckey. It was a long day for the visiting couple as they had driven that day from their home south of Toledo, Ohio, and returned home following the evening's activities. Tomorrow night will see the conclusion of the children's square dancing season, with the Jr. SWOSDA Jamboree being held big wind-up square dance, featur- ing guest caller, Butch Little, from Grelton, Ohio, who was accompanied by his wife, Pat. During the evening, Mayor Jack Delbridge extended greetings from the Town of Exeter, and welcomed the visiting dancers and guest caller to Exeter. Ap- proximately 140 couples, or 35 squares, attended the dance, from London, Stratford, Clinton, Sea- forth, Woodstock, Brantford, Kit- chener, Goderich, Chatham, St. Thomas, St. Marys, Kincardine, Pt. Elgin, Dorchester and Exeter. Non-member guests include d for m e r Exeter Promenaders, Norm and Marg Whiting from Petrolia, Max and Joan Harness, Pt. Lambton, and Bob Lambie, Gypsumvilie, Manitoba. The host club was the Exeter Stuart, Larry Steeves, Tom Twiddy and Bill Blaney. The monthly meeting of the South Western Ontario Square Dancers' Association (SWOSDA) was held in the late afternoon, with election of officers for the 1966-67 term. The meeting was held downstairs in the Legion Hall, with 125 in attendance. While the meeting was in pro- gress, the Legion Ladies' Auxi- liary were laying the tables for the banquet upstairs. Ninety cou- ples were served dinners of beef or turkey. During the dinner, Returning Officer Lillian Camp- bell announced the results of the elections, and the members of the executive were presented. The banquet was followed by an hour of round dancing.
