There are two activities in which garden club members will be participating this year, or will!; be involved in sOline manner. It should be of iipiterest to the - - people of the Goderich area to know that two more flower beds are to be started this spring. The Maple Leaf Chapter, I.O.D.E. is donating thirty rose bushes for a rose bed in the park at the site of the Salt Cairn, just opposite the Huron County Jail, The Ahmeek Chapter, I.O.D.E. has con- sultedJVirs: Elsa Haydon, who is ;the town council represen- tative in charge of the park • areas in town, to choose a site for their rose bed. • . This project is to mark the 75th Birthday .of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire in 1975. The selling and planting of these rose bushes across Canada is a National project signifying the concern _of all , I.O:D.E. members for the needs of children, The . net proceeds will be, used to im- plement various projects in each Province based on this national theme. The I.O.D.E, rose bush is °described'as "a new,- Canadian - bred, red floribunda, which is' hardy, retains its colour and lasts as well as a cut flower". The Maple Leaf Chapter is donating also 15 plants" to Huronview for a rose garden there. If the new rose beds are as successful as the lovely ones e started in 1967 as a Centennial project in the quaint islands at I • the -intersections of sone -off Durr : e • [ May Mooney was in charge o parks, all the citizens o Goderich will be proud of the and will enjoy them. At that time, Miss Mar Howell°and Mrs. Jean McKee members of the Garden Club and specialists in the art o growing roses, instructed th men of the town's park staff how to`plant, prune and care fo the excellent, hardy stock provided. The lessons were wel taken, as the lovely blooms o the rose bed' at the "corners of Nelson, Colborne and Waterloo Streets may be seen all sum- mer. Perhaps some of the readers may wish to have I,O.D.E. rose bushes in their own gardens; if so, the plants should be ordered before March 30th, from the conveners of this project, Mrs. Joan Van Den Broeck, of the Maple Leaf Chapter and Miss Helen McCarthy of theAhmeek Chapter. The rose bustles cost $3:50 each, or three for $10.00, f m The appearance of poorly filled cobs increased Y dr astica,lly in the.1974 season. , Finding out how to prevent the , same thing from happening in f 1975 "depends `entirely on e pinning down the cause," says , Ontario Ministry of Agriculture ✓ and Food soils and crops specialist, H.

"If a farmer can remember what the plant leaves looked like in Sep- tember; this, together with the shape of the ear; makes the problem easier to pinpoint," says Mr. Wright. "However, a far better idea is to talk to the local agricultural represen- tative or soils and crops specialist, outlining field practices and the results of any recent soil tests." If there's a suspicion of a 'nutrient deficiency, a soil sample should be taken. Water ,is equally important.

Damage by corn rootworm larvae feeding on the roots is evident if the corn was goosenecked. Tfe range for rootworm is normally con- sidered to be in southwestern Ontario, '`but there are definitely no rootworm problems east of Toronto's Yonge Street," Mr, Wright says.
