Holmes of the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, plant roots can be made to grow deeper by placing efs, deeper in the soil. Roots at great- er depth are in a better position to tap the deeper supplies of mois- ture in dry periods.. The movement of the plant root in the soil is restricted in many ways Root growth maybe slowed Y upor stopped if there is insuffic- ient PP ox33-gen or moisture in the - root area, or if the food supply is inadequate. There is usually enough reserve food in the seed itself to a11ow roots to become established in the ,soil -the extent -where -they wig: THE GO ERICH SIGNAL -STAR There will be considerably more beach at the harbor this year due to the low water level. A few years ago the water was so high that a rowboat could go completely around the suet shade house, seen at extreme right. Eight members of the 3rd troup of Goderich Boy Scouts line up from the sun shade house to the water's edge to show 'just how much more sand beach there will be this year. A couple of absorb Watt'!' and food. On a stuaIl portion of tiie root ii:i� the power to cx:ract mo.sture and rood from the so.1 1'n.s portion is to the ‘lenity of the root haus which des clop a short distance back trom the t:p of the root. Roots do not go looking for food, but rather accidentally come in contact with it as they grow downward. This downward move- ment is restricted in many soils by a compact layer or "hard pan." Unless the root finds an opening in the "hard pan" it will grow across the upper surface of the layer, in a lateral position. Certain soil management prac- tices and the use of commercial fertilizer will, help to relieve many soil conditions watch in their pre- sent form retard root development. As the root. 't is ,hat part of the plant through which food and mois- ture is absorbed, everything pos- sible -should be done to ensure good root development. If root growth is poor, top growth' will also be affected which means lower } crop yields.

This 1956 season appears to offer a vastly improved ' resort- and, particularly, at -Lake- view Casino, which now remains', the only summer resort ballroom,i which is open every night untili Labor Day. This fact does seem to remain in peoples' minds, and it just seems natural that "The Casino" is always where it is, and taken for granted. that it's always open' Some thought should be given to the terrific expense "The Old Standby" has to provide, ti which, in many ways, is a service 1 both to the resort generally, and to the surrounding districts, the management points out. One can always say, without ' hesitation, that Lakeview Casino •is a nice place to dance—the pat- -ronage has always been the -best.

The 1956 season is one in which we are presenting a new orchestra,' and we mean just that. Few have heard them, but many thousands are going to dance to them in the next few years. Here is a band -1 leader, Cliff. Scanlon, who reminds us of the now -great Lawrence Welk, who always' was great, but TV brought him' continent -wide recognition. Scanlon had an idea, a very definite ane, of a sweet, tuneful orchestra, emphasizing the' MAY. And he is goingto present his version of .what he thinks, by way of a fine group of hand-picked musicians, as follows: Leader --CLIFF.
