(Lou -Ann Hope photo) Winning essay on 'Marigolds' olds' by LOPS student Tara Thacker By Tara Thacker Do you have Tagetes in your flower gardens? These Tagetes have a strong, musky odor and are used to protect tomatoes. That's right these yellow, orange and gold strange plants from Mex- ico and South America are Marigolds. The Marigolds need very little care and grow 20 to 40 cm high. With large blooms, this plant lives from July to September. The Lucknow and District Horticultural Society has chosen the Marigold as their flower because it can be well used as a border plant or just to fill space. There is only one problem and that is slugs may eat our friend or grey mould could occur in wet weather. You can get tall or small sized marigolds, the tallest is the African Marigold and the smallest is the French, Marigold. Each with long stems. I know myself I will be glad to drive down the main street of Lucknow and see Marigolds in every garden and at every home in Lucknow but until then stay yellor, orange or gold and always remember our Tagetes ! Dungannon W1 members tour Pine River factory On Thurs. June 4th our Canadian In- dustries Tinie Logtenberg planned a visit to Pine River Cheese factory for our members. We met here at 11 aan. Before going to upper floor of the building we had the opportunity to go through the store and those who wished were able to purchase cheese. After going upstairs we were shown the different steps in cheese mak- ing. They were making cheese curds at this time and this was very interesting to watch. We were treated to crackers, cheese and coffee here. Then we saw slides on the different steps of producing cheese from cow to finished product. Here we had a short meeting. The meeting opened by members repeating the Mary Stewart Collect. The roll call was answered by 18 members present. After reading minutes of last meeting the Cor- respondent and Treasurers gave their reports. It was decided on the completion of 12, 4-H Clubs either boy or girl would receive an Institute spoon. There were dif- ferent donations made to different pro- jects. After the Collection and pennies for Freindship were received the meeting closed by Singing 0 Canada. Next we were at the Bruce Inn, Kincardine for a noon dinner. The next and last place we visited was Agri. Park. At this time we were given a talk by the attendant of the Greenhouses. He explained the growing of tomatoes from planting seeds to full growth. We were able to buy tomatoes here. They had a few boxed flower plants which you were able to purchase. This brought a lovely day to a close. Thanks to "Tinie". I am sure we all enjoyed the day as well as the shopping opportunity after.
