Canada needs ALL you can save and lend. There are three ways to pledge: 1. Ask your employer to deduct a speci- fied sum from your salary or wages each pay day. 2. Authorize your bank to deduct it each month from your savings account. 3. Sign an "Honour Pledge to buy Stamps or Certificates for a specified amount at regular intervals. Published by the War —keep up your pledge. See your invest- ment grow as the months go by. INCREASE theamount you have pro- mised to save and invest. And remem- ber that, in addition to your regular pledged amount, you can at any time buy extra War Savings Certificates from your local Bank Post Office—or you can send your money direct to the War Savings Committee in Ottawa.

Passenger On First Train Mr. Kellywas a passenger on the first train at the opening tt' Nle road 65 years ago, and it • was Ills desire to take a trip on the last one before the closing. His father was one of those re- sponsible for the building of the branch Line. At that time he own- ed flour and lumber mills at Blyth and teamed his produces from Myth to Clinton because there was no railway. Profits became so stnall, he could not afford to team it, and so he conceived the idea of a railway as, in order to keep the mills going, something had to be done, and he commenced ere - meting the scheme of a railway in the early seventies, In 1875 Me road was opened by running the first special train, ou which he and his father were pas- senders. 1 Reeves and councillors of the 'communities along the tine. were also passengers and the event was marked by a banquet et a London hotel. Changed Route Mr. Kelly recalled the fact that Lucan decided they did not have to be interested as the rallway would have to pass through there anyway, and refused to assist. Mr. Kelly's father, for this reason, was instrumental in having the route changed to Clandeboye, and Lucan lost oat, Another reason, Mr. Kelly said, for the promotion of the railway by his father was th t t aillltb11.t 0 lIel .

The whole -hearted co• operation of HortIcultuf-al Societies in the various districts is assured. 'The fiest step in improvement will be a clean -um Of each rural school site and putting in order ,Ill fences and other equipment,'to be followed by the planting of shrubs and flower gardens. Teachers will' be asked to take "before and after". snapshot of the premises. Mr. Greer points out ,thaut it 'c specially desirably to have school property neat and trim this year in view of • the expected influx rat American visttors. WelLkept school grounds will aid materially in creating a good impression of On- tario.

A. number of schools will be enter- ed in Ontario Horticultural Society districts and county competitions for the J. A. Carter trophy given to the school showing the greatest improvement in surroundings duriag' the year. In The Garden —x— The first objective of brand-new gardeners is usually a continuous display of bloom, This requires a bit of planning, especially to get something showing durnig the very early part of the season, and also for the Vail -end, after the first frost or two. In this planning a goon Canadian seed catalogue will he of immense help as 'it gives the time of blooming with each variety, the color, height, hardiness and other pointers. An Early Start An extra early start In blooming can be obtained by using well -start- ed plauts either out .of one's own greenhouse or hotbed or purchased in flats from seedsmen or nureery- meal. These plantsare dust about ready to bloom when bought. la= deed'eetne of them may have the odd bloom on them when still in the boxes. Experts, however, advise against leaving this bloom on at tranepianttng. It pate a strain on the plant and ie. apt to delay growth. Pinched off, the plant soon renbvere from the shock of transplanting and will snake stockier and larger growth. A. few perennials like the dwarf Phlox and Iris help out with early broom. These will come along lust ',a few weeks atter the tulips and the 1 crocuses, The middle part of the season is easy, Then practically all of the anneals are at their best. To+ wards the end of the open season. Salvia, Cosmos, English 14fas4golds, late Petunias and Asters will keep up the show, some of the hardier Iones indeed standing a little front.

Weather, soil ' and location may be idem but without good seed, specially sele'p - ed to suit Canadian conditions, the. garden 1s going to be a failure. NEXT WEEK—No Excuse poor Weeds; Gardens in a Hurry. There Is No Rush The beginner 15 lnelined to -1.11s211' the season. It will not hurt to plant peas, spinach,' lettuce or reddish just: as soon as the, ground is ready. For the medium .hardy type of plant, however there is ne advantage what- ever in sowing too soon. There is little growth in any case until the soil really turns warm. Gardeners axe advised to divide their vegetable seed into at least three parts, sowing a third as soon as weather .permits, a third a little later, and the balance at the very tail -end of the planting season. In this way if frost does cut down the first batch there will be more plants coming on and the season will be lengthened by the last part of tba garden sown. This Is Essential It is iimposible to over -emphasize the importance of good seed.
