Boyle We had strawberries for supper the other evening , . . ripe, red, fresh berries plucked from the vines in the patch behind the garden. With just a faint sprinkling of sugar and plenty of good, fresh cream they were one of the first delicacies of the season. I count along with the green onions and fresh radishes that came along quite some time ago, the fresh straw- berries and a pair of speckled trout that a. friend caught and sent along. Strawberries and cream make a dish fit for the' taste of anyone, First of all the very sight of those red objects With their speckled skins lying in a WWI is enough to make you want to pinch a few before the, meal just to get the taste, They're mit sweet and yet there's a tang without a sourness that Sort of sets your taste to working with a vengeance, The sugar and cream gives the whole thing a sort of smoothness, When I was a boy I used to enjoy going to my grandparents a great deal in the strawberry season. She always seemed to know when a lad was hungry, With bread fresh from the oven and a pat of .butter brought up out of the cool depths of the stone cellar she would prepare bread and butter slices. Then she would take fresh berries from a big bowl after cleaning them thoroughly of all sand with icy cold water from the spring. With a fork she would mash the ber- ries up and spread their red, pulpy goodness all over the bread, Over this she sprinkled sugar . . lots of sugar . . . but there was no rationing in ,those days. It Vas a treat, that I'll ftever forget, In those days there were lots of wild strawberries and the whole fam- ily would be, pressed into service in picking them for wild strawberry jam-making, I must confess that it took a lot of the little berries to make very much volume. The boys used to get discouraged and after an hour or so the job Of plugging up a ground- hog hole had a great deal more fascin- ation in it. By that time we had Us- ually eaten to our capacity anyhow. I can still remember my mother arid father going for a walk on a fine June Sunday. She would invariably take along a white bowl, just to see if she could get enough wild strawberries for Sunday evening dessert. Father would make a great show of picking for awhile but he usually found a fence S300 1;1z bfg 3141 ,trig letpin sattoqtplatt no,t qsv Chicks did for them.

We don't depend on wild straw- berr,ies anymore. Mrs. Phil having insisted on my planting a patch of tame ones. I sometimes long for wild flavor of the little ones growing in the fields, but must confess that the sys- tem of having a patch of tame ones seems to be much better than depend,- ing on the whims of nature, We have one more treat in store. There'll be a strawberry social at the church. The good ladies of the congregation, will spend about two hundred dollars in effort and goods to produce something like forty-nine dollars and fifty cents of clear cash for use around the church , . , but we'll- finish off the strawberry season in good style, hay- ing for a time had our fill of them.

Cottltes, Papers of special interest were given, follow- ed by discussion on the topics dealt with, Mrs, S. Procter, speaking on Agri- culture, said: Agriculture ,is the oldest of occupations and the basis of all other arts. It began with the dawn of civilization and, with occasional interruption has continued to make pro- gress to the present time. The story of agriculture is the story of civiliz- ation in every land. When we follow the history of man through the cen- turies, We realize that back of every conquering army, back of every mighty empire must stand the tillers of 'the soil ,that as these have prospered or failed, the nation has ,stood or fal- len. • The destiny of any people rests with the food supply. Among the many problems con- fronting agriculture is that of Home Beautification. There is every rea- son why beautifying home grounds should be of interest to all on account of the increasing desire to live among things that are beautiful and attrac- tive. It takes very little time to plant a few trees and shrubs., a vine or two, a hedge or to make a flower border. If one trei or shrub were planted each, year in a very few years there would be a wonderful change, and it may be done at little or no cost. Vines, trees and shrubs can be obtained in the woods and roots exchanged with friends and neighbours. Mrs, Earl Anderson led a brief but excellent discussion on "Insect Pests which attack our Gardens." A report of the West Enron Dis- trict Annual held in Dungannon, was given by Miss Edith Procter, The president, Mrs. Earl Anderson, conducted the meeting.
