A Lot From A Little .
Big spacious ,gardens are all very
well, but with the price of Serviced
land in most parts of Canada today
the average man must content him-
self with a modest lot. But this
does not mean he must forego a
garden. It is really amazing what
a display of flowers one can grow
in a, few square yards of soil and
little more than that is required
for a most satisfaceory and heavy,
yield of vegetables too. ,
Of course where area is restrict-
ed, one does eot go intq eiant-
flowers and' big bulky vegetables
like pumpkins and sunflowers. But
thatledves plenty of others. There
are all Kies of tiny things amon,
the flowers—alyssum, dwarf mari-
golds, nasturtiums, pansies, dwarf
zinnias, and -many many more. In
e. the seed catalogue the -height of
the mature plant is usually indieat-
• ed and the same vital information
will be found cm the seed packet.
In a flower bed a few feetwide
and a few yards long, it is well to
stick to flowers that will not grow
more than a foot or so high, though
right in the centre as a show piece,
we may have a few bigger speci-
inens.

the same general rule „about .siee.
is followed but here we should
also take into consideration the
amount of production or yield per
foOt of rew. Peas for instance
aren't. very .big plants but their
yield per foot in',, row is light.
Beans, on the other hand, are extra
heavy yielders and a 10 foot row
will supply, the average family
with a great xiiiey- meals. Lettuce,
spinach, radish, onions, beets, car
rots and even cucumbers are also
heavy yielders, giving lots of ,top
quality food for the space occupied.
Corn, 'tomatoes, squash, potatoes,
take up quite a lot of space and
the person with only a few spfuare
yards of bed 'available had better
leave these things. to the • neighbor
with the bigger lot.
In these, small tiny vegetable
garderis we usually plant much
closer together than usual and we
can also increase total yield by
alternating early vegetables "with
later ones, and by planting two
crops say of such things as lettuce,
green onions, radish, and spinach
which are ready in a few weeks.
Brush Up On Names
Common names for flowers, vege-
tables and shrubs can be mislead-
ing, • That is why the catalogue
usually lists also the scientific or
Latin name which is the same in

Beating The Frost
AWay up (or down) near the
Arctic 'Circle. on a government ex-
perinieutal farm in the Yukon they
grew luscious garden corn last
year. Not just a cob or two but
a good sized crop. The secret ,was
sheets of "cheap transparent plastic
which covered the young, corn like
a greenhouse? when it was getting
started and could be used again
in the fall if frost threatened to
end growth. Tomatoes were also
grown and ripened in this way
and peppers and squash.
There is a hint here for 'the
ordinary gardener. • With a little
protection in the way of plastic
sheets, glass, or waxed paper one
can often add two or three weeks
at 'each endeof the 'season and thus
ripen tomatoes and grow garden
corn in areas of Canada where
'frost would be sure to get it with
oti,t this • protection. -

TO FIX THE PLACE?
What about the fiiture for Can-
adian cattlemen? "Definitely gOOd,"
says 'Ralph K. Bennett, chief,, niter-
chapdising 'section, riVeatOkkAiiti
410.4,. Canada Department of Agri.
"eulture. '
Canadian cattle prices • ac,• tied
elesely to prices in the United
States, he says, and in that country
they are expected to remain 'as
high this year as in 1958. Last
year Canada exported the equivai-
ent of nearly 700,000 head to the
U.S.; about one-quarter of total
inarketings.
• Further, Mr. Bennett says cattle
prices stem reasonably secure from
any severe drop "for at, least two
years. He points out that the twit
'bound -hp in cattle numbers may
come in 1961,, but more likely in
1962 or 1963.
Moreover, the rapid increase in
human population ori the North
American continent'— about 31/2
million more people each year—
should provide, a ready market for
vast quantities of beef.
LaVr year United States pureh-
ases included 460,000 head of feed-
er cattle from Canada ' and all
evidence points to a sizable export
again this, year.
An upsurge in demand for Can-
adian feeders began: after the
severe drought was broken in the
south western United States in the
spring of 1957. The ranchers in
that area have 'been buiying, in
cattle to restock their ranges. This
phase,may be over' now, .says Mr.
Bennett,, but supplies of corn are
very high in the United States so
there is certain to be a good de-
mand for feeders again this year.
• This means that the price for
feeder cattle will be d,etermined
• -4 •
by what Americans are willing tg
pay for them. If feeders are
brought from theWee!, into On-
tar4o, then the price pai in th
-west-will- havett-be*eqt4yaiefltH
of what the Americans figure they
are worth to go south into their
feed lots.
