EARLY VARIETIES OF APPLES The early harvest apples of our childhood are still a memory to many . of us and, while we seldom see this variety of good quality now, as it proved very subject to apple scab, the Reel Astrachan is still with ns, but, while attractive in appearance, is too acid to suit most palates. The same may he said of Yellow Trans• parent, which lacks navor also. The Crimson Beauty is an attractive looking early apple but it, also, is lacking in flavor and owing to its in- ferior quality, the eating of it is not likely to materially increase the con- sumption of apples. Duchess of Old- enburg has been with us a long time and, while handsome in appearance, it is too acid to become popular as a dessert variety. 3'nus, until re- cently, there were no early apples available that were good enough in quality to make a great demand for apples at 'a time of year when many people are craving for good apple to eat. We are fortunate, however, in :tow having in the Melba apple, orig- inated riainated in the Horticultural Division, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, an ap- ple which is not only handsome in nppearan•e but very good in quality, being equal to the M,Intesh itself, of which it is a seedling. It is in condi- tion a little before Duchess out keeps longer than that variety. Trees of the Melba can now be obtained from nursery firths and it is recommended by Government Instiutions .rind pri- vate. individuals who have fruited it in preference to any other early var- ett. Another sort called Jayete el- se originated) at Ottawa, which fol lows it closely in season, is as good - in quality as the Melba. thus m:ulr'.re' two excellent early varieties ether for market or the home garden.

WOMAN FOUND DEAD Godorich, April 24.—(Specisl)--- The first drowning of the season oc- curred here this morning, when Mrs. J. McConnell, Market Street, God• erich, lost her life in the lake, oppos- ite the south pier, near the shore, It is not known just how the fatality occurred, as no person saw it hap- pen. Mrs. McConnell had been in failing health for some time. She went as far as the church door at 11 o'clock this morning, and then de.- eicled to go for a walk. The body was found close to shore about 3 o'- clock by a person at the harbor. -The deceased is survived by her husband,' who is in the employ of the C.P.R. here, and two sons, Arnold and Mur- , ray Thos. Hern, of Usborne, shipped through W. T.

The ship carried back the first refugees to America from the war "vines of China in the persons of Mrs. Melvin Southwick and her young baby, who were forced, through Chinese dis- orders, to board a tramp steamer for Kobe, where they were picked up by the "Empress of Scotland," Mrs. Southwick's husband is an offi- cial of the Standard Oil Company at Hankow.

This is only to be ex- pected. Bushmen returning from the forests of Ontario and 'Quebec stated: "Lakes are open which I walked across a month later lost spring,,, With the lakes opening up, the snow disappearing from hill top and southern :lopes, forest fires make their appearance. One record states "A spark fell in the thick, dry grass and ran with astonishing speed. A villagL' was threatened and five hous- es were destroyed before the fire was brought under control." Spring holds a menace for every wooded section, because the waren spring sun and winds have driod out the forest floor. There will be no green vegetation for several weeks to conserve moisture or provide shade to deaden a fire when kindled by a spark, a neglected camp fire or smouldering tobacco. It is well for us to remember the forest pro- tection A.B,C.—always bb 'nroful— at this tine. The winter work is no sooner fin- ished than the summer work.`y on. River drivers are going back to the woods in a steady stream. Again fishermen are out to make their first catch, and what of the forest and -fires? Man provides 90% of all our fire risks. The last three years have been comparatively safe years for the forests. It would not be wise to pin our faith to the records of these three years, when weather fav- ored conservation. This year of 1927 might be another 1923, unless the public, conscious of the danger, awake in time, take heed and treat fire with awe and respect. History records a dangerous fire cycle every four or five years. This 2 year we arc about due again for a second fire year. We don't wish for a repitition of 5,000,000 acres burn - I ed in Canada, as in 1923. Spring coning a month early has .given us timely warning. Will we take heed? It means the payroll 0r 150,000 fam- ilies of woods operators in pulp, lum- ber, lath and shingle businesses al - Ione, while another 350,000 bread 1 winners are working on wood in the manufacturing branch of the Indus- try.
