Give Them Room.—If every seed
that 'serouted were allowed to
grow, this world would soon
become a jungle and our gardens
an'awful mess. Almast every-
thing needs thinning and will do
much better with plenty of room.
Overcrowded plants get spindly
and Weak, an easy prey for in-
sects and disease or even a heavy
rain.
In almost every case where
plants are started from 'seed and
especially tiny seed, like lettuce
or alyssum or poppies, they must
be thinned. later. In doing this
'naturally we pull out the poorer
specimen's first but in any case we
must leave plenty of room for full
development. If we are afraid of
later damage from bugs or cut-
worm's perhaps we will leave twice'
as many plants as at first, then
later on we remove every other
one. In certain • vegetables like
beets and carrots, too, weleave the
'plants about an inch or so apart
at first, then use further thinnings
for our first meals. When thin-
ned properly, the plants left will
grow more quickly, more 'sturdily
and should be healthier.
Thinning is not always confined
to seedilin,gs. The extra big and
fine blooms you usually see in the
flower shows are often the result
of thinning. Only in this case it
will be the flower buds that are
removed. Instead of letting every
single rose, peony, or dahlia "de-
velop, the professionals nip off
about fifty per cent or more of
the buds so that those that are
left will be finer and 'bigger. The
same •thing.is done with fruit like
apples, plums and peaches for, big
prime results.
Summer Lawn Care.—When and
if a real summer heat wave comes,
one should make a few changes in
the regular lawn 'care. Grass is
a cool .and, moist loving :plant- and
in most parts of 'Canada it is not
likely to get that sort of weather
in July' and August. It won't
make much growth when the ther-
mometer goes much above 75. In
c,onsequente one should eut less
often imo hot weather and also set
the. Mower higher. And even if
we remove ,the clippings earlier in
the spring, it is a good plan to let
them lie where they, fall in the
su'mrner. They will make a mulch
which, with, the longer 'grass, will
protect the roots from the burning
sun. Early 'summer, when the
nights get fairly warm, is the best
time to apply the ahemioal weed
killers. Used with reasonable care
it is amazing how these will wipe
out (dandelion, plantain and most
broad leaved weeds. One should
cover the whole Arwn but one must
-.„
be careful to miss any 'flowers ,er
shrubbery beausa these sprays
will seriously damage if '110(t kill
them. For a real job ono should

about three weeks to a month's
time. This second application wall

'sprouted, frOm seed since the first
treatment. It is best to keep one,
sprayer for this weed killing busi-
ness only, otherwise one must be
most careful to wash machine and
nozzle thoroughly before using
for any other purpose.
Watch For Bugs. --,,With so many
easily applied chemical mixtures
on the market, there- is little if
any excuse fol. having our flowers"
and vegetables damaged by insects
or disease. It is no longer neces-
sary to prepare various concoc-.
tion,s. All that loner has to do is
to go to 'the nearest seed store,
tell them our troubles and get
some handy preparation ,which is
simply dusted or sprayed on. Fox
every bug or disease there is a
specific cure or control. The main
thing is to start control measures
just as soon as the ,first injury ap-
pears. Treatment is not expensive.
A 'healthy, cle,an, and vigorously
growing garden is the best- in,sur-
anee against injury. Well spaced,
well cultivatedplants are far less
susceptible to° trouble -than ne-
glected plots overrun with weeds.
Prompt cleanup measures, after
harvest or blooming, and in the
spring- and ,fal1 will also help
greatly. 'Many bugs and disease
live aver in the 'ground, or in
weeds along the edge of the gard-
en. Cleaning these up regularly
will help substantially in keeping
a garde,n healthy.

A Personal Message to You
from
Premier Leslie M. fivst
Dear Friends:
Your community—along„with a thousand others—forms the
keystone of Ontario's progress and prosperity. As your popula-
tion grows, Ontario grows. As your schools, hospitals, 'utilities
and road i improve, Ontario improves. And as you and your
Immunity prosper, Ontario forges ahead as the greatest
province in Canada. _
To keep Ontario—and all its people—going forward to greater
progress and prosperity, I ask you to re-elect your Progressive
Conservativ. e goi'rermnent in the Provincial Election being held
on June 9th. Give the Progressive Conservative Candidate in
your riding the opportunity td carry on your government's
eicelfent record of Malang Ontario a ,better place' for you and
your family. As proof of that record, look—at these fact's:
1. This year, government grants to municipalities amount to
$165 million, or more than 44% of'all provincial,revenues. This
large sum of money will help build new schools, hospitats, roads,
bridges, community centres and other services. All this will be
done at a saving of about one-third of all the local tax bills.„ °
2., We believe that every child in Ontario has an,equal right to
free education —and that Ontario should have the finest schooling
in the country. In 1955, your government will spend over $102
million on education, including the greatest school building
campaign in our history.
3. Your Progressive Conservative Government has helped bring
the Modern convenience and comfort of Hydro to over 85% of
rural Ontario. Half the cost of bringing in rural Hydro lines has
been paid 'for directly by the proilince.
4.. Jobs for over 175,000 people will be provided by the
$700 million construction program of the province and its
municipalitigs, which is now underway.
5. Your provincial government was the first in Canada to make
discrimination illegal. Every citizen of Ontario—regardless of
his race, colour or creed—has the ,opportunity to live Where he
likes, to work at any fob he chooses, and to rise as high in life
as his own ability can take him.
6. Ontario's government has provided .grants for 74 new homes
for the aged, 25 thousand new hospital beds. We have secured
Old Age Pensions for all at 70 and for the.needy, at 65. Ontario
is the first province in Canada to provide pensions for the totally
disabled and the blind at 18.
The spectacular achievements of the past three and a half'
years have been' accomplished with no new taxes --and with some
atax reductions. Ontario's taxes are the lowest in Canada.,_
On June 9th, I ask for your support ofmy government. I urge
you—in your own best interests—to elect the Progressive
Conservative candidate in your riding . . for the -prosperity and
progress of everyone in this great province. Forward ONTARIO!
