New Homes—New Gardens
Last year 104,000 houses were
lejiilt in Canada. This year, then,
at .least a hundred thousand brand
new gardens will be established,
It's not a tough job by any, miearis,
but an interesting. and pleasant
One. And it is really amazing what
a show can be made in one of these
brand, new gardens in thevery first
year.
Of course permanent things like
trees, shrubs , and vines may take
a while to, amount to in{ich, but
in .the meentiineP,tleeir future places
can be taken wit quick growing
and tall or bushy annuals and with
vines that will climb up to 25 feet
in a single season.
Handling New Soil
First problem of course will be
the soil. More care is taken in,
building a house nowadays to pre-
serve. -thew good. -top soil Often ---it-
is
f teen--it-•is bulldozed off into a corner, then
redistributed more or less uniform-
ly before the landscaping. In
many cases, however, it is only
a fair job that is carried out and
the fist thing the new owner
should do is to go over and level
up any sunken spots. Of course,
if the odd brick, stone, discarded
lumber and what have you is still
lying about these should be re-
moved or buried.
If most of the original top soil
has been undisturbed or returned
there is little to worry about in
the matter of fertility. All that one.
does is to level up any low spots,
cultivate and plant both flowers
and vegetables. 'But one will be
lucky indeed if there is not quite
a lot of subsoil to cope with espec-
ially near . the new house itself.
No matter how barren this appears,
eventually it can be made into a
garden: Digging or-, cultivating
will help most, and if possible
strawy manure, peat moss or some
other vegetable material should be

added and dug in.Ordinary leaves
and grass clippings are fine though
the former may take a while to
break down. Chemical fertilizers
applied carefully according to
directions will help, build up fer-
tility. - The new soil conditioners
will loosen up the toughest clay.
H the season
eason is not too 'far ad-
vanced by the time the 'soil is
brought into some, sort of shape,
permanent plantings , of trees,
shrubs, , vines and herbaceous per-
ennials can be made this spring,
also the. lawn. But if.the .weather
is beginning to' get warm one is
advised to postpone these jobs until
fall or next spring early.
Annuals
There is plenty of time, however,
for annuals. In addition to the
xeg(}lbr' favourites we will be grow-
-inryealr�after-year,;--things. -lik
petunias, asters, zinnias, alyssum,
lobelia, and so on, we should loo --
over the seed, catalogue and select
some very tall bushy plants to take
the place temporarily of perman-
ent shrubs and small trees.
For this purpose in the annual
line we can use cosmos, giant
zinnias, marigolds, stocks or snap-
dragons, or still larger dahlias,
larkspur, heliantus, or 'others.
Heights are always noted in the
catalogue. Some of these are
bushy as well as tall and in a
matter of weeks they will make a
beautiful background screen. Of
annual vines there is a wide range
from climbing ..nasturtiums and
sweet peas to scarlet runner .beans,
annual hops, or morning' glories.
These will trail over a fence or
screen- 'a verandah.
FORAGE CROP p,owTH
LEADER IN ONTARIO
• In Ontario, more acres are de-,
voted to forage crop producf-ion—
hay, pasture, and silage—than to
all other field crops combined.
These crops also provide the cheap-
est source- of livestock feed, and
as the amount of forage increases
in the ration the cost of producing
milk, meat, or wool decreases.
Many- factors are important in
the production of high yields of
top quality forage per acre, three
of the key ones' being the.mixture,
soil fertility, and management. All
three are equally important: a good
mixture, is superior only when it
has adequate fertility availableand
is properly, managed; good fertility
increases production most econom-
ically when it is combined with .a
good m' ure containing plants cap-
able of king use of the fertility.
Many good hay and pasture mix-
tures are listed in the 1954 copy
of "General Hay and Pasture Mix-
tures Recommended for Ontario,"
which is now available to Ontario
farmers. It has been prepared, by
members of the staffs of the On-
tario Agricultural 'College, the
Western Ontario Agricultural.
School, and the Kemptville .gricul-

The resolution asked than .the
Provincial ,Goveijiment "be peti-
tioned to consider taking over all
suburban and county roads into the
Provincial system of Highways,
thereby placing the burden where
it rightfully belongs, onto those
who use these roads,. and that all
local municipalities be responsible.
for roads within their own bound-
aries."
Aith of the resolution is to ease
the share that towns in the county
system pay to the county for road
purposes. Separated towns and
cities in counties do not have to
pay a county levy. Paris is one
of the towns in Ontario ander the
county system which has been try-
ing for a, number of years to break
