Lions Attend�nce Pins Presented By Governor In an address which combined much - wit with inspirational idealism, District Governor Kea} Henderson of Palmerston spoke to the Lions Club Friday even- ing at Harbourlite Inn. He reminded • his listeners that Lionism .can be fun, can °be rewarding and can be a svay of life. Goderich is the` biggest club in District A-9, " iri which dis., trict there is a total of 1,800 Lions, he stated, as he paid tribute to the spirit shown by the Goderioh club. He told of the activities of various clubs in the district. In connection with the Seaforth club he told of that group's col- lection of more than 6,000 pair of used glasses for shipment overseas. He outlined the work of certain new committees set up. Among these is the Youth Exehamge Committee. The pur- pose of the latter is to have youths from overseas live in Canadian homes for a certain period and for Canadian youths to live in homes of youths over- seas. In this way, each learns. how the other fellow lives, he stated. The speaker was introduced by Bill Lumby and thanked by Bruce Holmes, who presented him with a gift on behalf of the--Goderith club. - Obituary GEORGE NEWTON DAVIES Following a lengthy.illness, George Newton Davies passed away on Monday, November 11, at the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, ,in his 87th year.

It mai be used around newly slanted trees z and plants to re - 'duce evaporation from the Mound. It is used in the case of clematis to keep the roots cool tn. summer and warm in winter. It may be a weed pre- ventive all summer and so save an infinity of labor. - In winter It can be used to keep a piece of ground. frost free so that tib , ehrubs, and trees may be planted after the normal season. Finally, and most im- portarlt of all in the immediate future, there is the attaching given after the ground has frozen, to keep it frozen and lessen the effects of alternate thaw and freeze. Ideally nature can provide the best and easiest mulch after freezing of the soil in the form of a blanket of snow which is maintained until the final thaw arrives. Unfortun- ately the requisite conditions and timing are not always pro- vided by nature arid it behoves the best gardeners to apply.. mulches to obtain best results, fol-, whatever anyone may tell you to the contrary, mulching is worthwhile. Superlative results are the product of superlative pains. • - Huron Team At The Winter Fair Robert Fobheringham, R.R. 3, Seaforth, David Hemingway, R.R. 3, Brussels, Kenneth Pap- ple, R.R. 5, Seaforth, Donald Weigand, Dashwood, represent- ed Huron County at the Inter - County fter- County Live Stock Judging Competition held in conjunction with the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair on NOvember 14th.

Certifie.: Seed Spuds May Be In Short Supply - For roses it has been the local practice to hill up each bush using soil other than that from the immediate rose bed. If soil be • to en from around the bush then the roots are de- prived• of cover and may suffer, so soil should be imported for the purpose and since it must wait till the deep freeze, it also is likely to be frozen un- less it has been kept under cover. To reduce the . amount of soil ' to be imported, some form of container is required. This may take the form of an alumintlm collar or you can take cartons of suitable size and knock out or fold in the bottoms and tops and crown the bush with them. Subse- quently they are filled up with, soilto the- top which should be twelve inches . high. It seems worthwhile to try straw or ex- celsior on roses, using the car- ton. to contain' it and packing it «well in.

G. Grieve, coached the- winning Agricul- tural College team. in the In+.er Agricultural School Competi- tion. There are two essentials • to successful winter mulching. The right time and the right .mater- ials. The right time is after the ground has frozen for good -not before. The right ma- terials depend on the require- ments of the plant to be pro- tected. The books mention a large number of materials such as salt marsh hay, fir bark, buckwheat husks, pine needles, hardwood leaves, ground corn cobs and black poly sheet. As will be noted all of these save -black poly sheet are porous and admit air to the plant: Marsh hay is good because it has no seeds, - but few of the above- mentioned are readily available locally. In consequence we are thrown back on such'substances as straw, excelsior and the glass wool blanket such as is used for house wall insulation. All three are porous in varying de- gree but the first two, straw and •exeelsior- will require to be con- tained if they are not to blow all over the garden.

A complete list of seed potato growers is now available with- out charge, from the offices of Agricultural Representatives in :ach County 'or -District, also from officials of the Seed Potato Certification Service at Guelph, London, Barrie, Ottawa and Fort William, or from the On- tario Department of Agricul- ture, Parliament Buildings, Tor- onto. The list provides names,' addresses of 'growers, and acre- age of the various vas ieties. Many seed growers are now grading, to supply commercial growers who are locating sup- plies. Arrangements should be made soon, as a few growers have already sold their entire crop. climbers and standard roses should of course be dug up and buried horizontally in the soil. Some of us risk our climbers especially ,if they grow on a brick wall but, none should risk leaving a standard upright in_ winter. Though the protection of or- namental evergreens can hard- ly be characterized as mulching, they require protection in, deep winter and before the thaw, to prevent evaporation through their leaves.
