His ''Majesty„•King George VI, -dis- played keen interest in CBC's Royal microphones at the Government lun- cheon at Quebec, shortly after the arrival in Canada of the Royal party. Early during the luncheon, the first attended 'by Their Majesties on Can- adian soil, and the •first of several to be broadcast by the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation, the monarch noticed one of the two unusual -look- ing, gold-plated instruments which flanked the beautiful ;floral decora- tions on the table 'before the Royal couple. Pointing towards the instrument and turning to Rt. Hon, W. L. Mac- kenzie 'King,- His Majesty remarked upon this peculiar new type of micro- phone.' The 'Pri,ine Minister's explana- tion'brough't a smile and nod of sat- isfaction from tie King: After ..the 'broadoast,, radio 'engin- eers expressed their approval of the performance olf these new 'anticro 'p!hones.

Skirting Toronto to visit ibriefly the industrial centres of Ontario, Their Majesties .mill reach the prolific fruit - ,bearing district which extends west- ward to Niagara. Here, on the even- ing of June 7, just as countless num- bers •of tourists have done 'before, George VI and Queen Elizabeth will' don oil skins and descend to the rock,' ledges beneath the Falls. An after - dark view of their visit, when the` spraying. cascades are bathed in ,col- ored lights, will be 'broadcast, fo11-{ owed by an account of the historic' crossing of the international bound- ary to extend the Royal hand of g friendship to Canada'sood neighbor.

How To Take 'Soil Samples 'Many. 'Ontario farmers will un- doubtedly be taking advantage this spring.of the free service provided by the 'Ontario Department nt Agricuh tore to have samples of their soiltested, It is only by soil testing that farmers can ascertain just what plant constituents their soil lacks to grow better duality and larger craps per acre, Here's how you do. it. 1. (Utensils needed; ,(a) A clean spade or shovel; (,b) A clean basket, box or rust -free pail, and large knife. 2, How to take a Representative Sample of Soil: (a)If the field is fair- ly uniform and is largely one type of soil, samples should be taken front at least 110 points distributed over the field. Where the soil in a field' is uni- form one composite' sample js suffic- ient.Where there are extreme 'knolls or low areas, these should be sampled separately. ,(b) At each )point in your field dig down to plow depth (6' to 7 inches) and throw aside this spadeful of soil. Next cut a .th'in, •slice dawn the face of the hole and while the soil is on the spade or shovel, with a knife cut off the sides and about one-half inch of the bottom. Put the remain- der of the slice in the pail or ,basket. ,(c) If a subsoil sample is desired, 'clear backthe soil, where the 'first sample was taken, to a depth of about 0 to 7 inches, and take a spadeful to a depth of 8 inches 'below where the first sample was taken. Put the sub- soil samples in a separate pail. (d) When samples 'have been taken from each point, break up all of the lumps and thoroughly mix the samples. Dolikewise with the subsoil samples, keeping them separate front the sur- face soil samples. Place one-half pint of this c"a small sample in " small cotton bag. Tie the top firmly and attach a tag giving your name and address on one side and on the reverse side address the parcel to 1 the Department of Chemistry, Soils Division O:A.C„ Gueyiiit, or to any of the stations 'which may be nearer to you than O. A. C. I(e) 'Wet soils should be dried when preparing soil samples for mailing. To dry soil sam- ples avoid putting them in a hot even, rather dry the soil on a cloth cr paper in direct sunlight. 3. Soil sampling instructions and question )blanks may' be obtained from your .,agricultural representative or from anyof the test stations named below. •Please answer the ,questions :for each sample on the blanks and send this information in a separate envelope at the time your soil samples go .forward. One should be sure to number his 'samples, Ways to Stop Mosquitoes Biting With the 'disalppearance of the ap- roach of warmer weather, the thoughts of young and old alike turn with pleasant anticipation to the jays of outdoors. (Unfortunately, these jays may often be marred to ,a con- siderable ''extent by the bloodthirsty attentions .of biting •flies, especially mosquitoes, except in localities where effective 'control has 'been tarried out or where ..there are no ,breeding places. The larvae and pupae o1 mos- quitoes develop only in stagnant water bodies, and the application of a thin filatt of petroleum oil on such places in May and early June will destroy •countless numbers- of then. To be really satisfactory such work should be properly planned an'd car- ried out on a 'community scale. For protection from mosquitoes once they .are on the wing, various re- pellents are in general use, among wlhich, to name only a few are oil of cintronella, spirits of camphor, oil of lavender and oil of cedar, As a result of recent experiments carried out in Ottawa ,under the direction of the Dominion Entomologist a repellent mixture has been developed which has proved mare satisfactory and more lasting in effect than any hith- erto in ,popular use, This repellent is easy to mix • and the formula is quite simple. It is as follows: Oil of thyme' ............ . ...l 'fluid ounce Concentrated kerosene ex- tract of pyrethrum .. 2 fluidounces Castor oil, or olive oil., 5 (fluid ounces Bath ounce of -the ;pyrethrum ex- tract should be equivalent in strength to ane -fifth o'f a pound of good grade pyrethrum powder, This mixture when applied to exposed parts of the skin has been round to give protec- tion from mosquitoes and :other 'biting ,flies for periods varying from three to five hours., A copy of the pamphlet entitled "Protective Measures Against Blood Sucking Flies in the Forest" may be obtained by writing to the ,Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Beware of World's Fair Feet An article, one of many features in The American Weekly, the great weekly magazine with the May 28 is- sue of The Detroit Sunday Times, paints out that if you expect to see everything at the bog shows, either in 'New York or San Francisco, there is 33 miles of.walking to be done, and tells how to see the ,fairs with the least fatigue and discomfort.

Avoid All Crowding' In Planting Shrubs at Farm Entrances The farm home has two entrances —one where we enter the grounds from the highway and the other where we 'actually enter fhe house, says 'John F. Clark, horticultural specialist of Toronto, Simplicity is beauty, and with this in mind we should avoid crowding plant materia'' or giving the impression of the work being over -done. The most simple ar- rangement at the gateway would be a single specimen of shrub, or ever- green, on either side of the 'entrance. This' may ;be enlarged by increasing •the number to three, having , each group arranged in the form of a clover leaf, either inside or outside the gate, outside .being most suitable, if space permits. Avoid placing shrubs either too 'close to driveway or fence, suitable kinds 'being Spirea Van Houttei )(Bridal Wreath), Lonicera tatarica )(Honeysuckle); Syringo (Lil- ac); Forsythia Fortunei !(Golden Bells) or ordinary compact specimens of White Cedar. .Asstuning that the driveway runs straight to the barn, it may be border- ed with Maple, Birch, Elm or Oak at regular intervals, to form in time a stately avenue. Evergreens may he substituted in the form of Cedar, White or Norway Spruce to form a screen windbreak. In nearing the line of the house there ,comes a point at which it would be natural to stop, permitting passen- gers to approach the noire. At this point two groups may be placed, assisting to define the path and at the sante time making a suitable frame- work for the door. In this case the shrubs may be such ornamentals, as Prunus tribola ,(The Flowering Alm- ond); Cydonia Japonica ('Japanese Quince) Spiraea Van Houttei (Bridal 'Wreath) Forsythia Fortunei (Golden Bells) Hydrangea paniculata; Phila- clelphus coronaritis (MockOrange) Syringe (Lilac). The second entrance is the doorway itself, and it is very important that a fitting framework he provided, This is the one point toward which all owners, visitors anti tradesmen ap- proach, hundreds of tines in a year. Why should it be left unattractive when a simple 'planting will complete- ly alter its appearance? The easiest form of planting would he a single 'flowering shrub or ever- green oil either side of the doorway and it is essential that two of the same variety be used,se this ;provides balance or harmony. Building an this initial planting the arrangement may be increased to two groups of three and this usually takes care of the av- erage entrance. Among the many fine varieties which may be used are Deutzia, Pride of Rochester; Spiraea Van Ilouttei and Anthony • 'Waterer Hydrangea, paniculata grandi ,fiors; Hibiscus .(Rose .of Sharon); Barberis Thunbergi (Japanese Barberry); Sam bucus feliis aurefs ,(Golden Elder); Weigelia;'Viburnum .(Snowball) Sye- phoricarpus (Snowberry). To maintain a harmoni'us effect keep all tall shrubs to the rear graduated to law material in front. Loamy Soil Best For Lawns Probably no other single factor has any greater influence on the' appear- ance of the property than the condi- tion of the lawn. It is often referred` to as the outdoor carpet. A loamy soil is best. A. standard lawn grass Mixture con- sists of Kentucky blue ;grass and white Dutch clover. This, gives the most satisfactory lawn for ' general purposes. Kentucky blue grass will withstand more drought, careless cutting and abuse than any lawn grass in common use. It will make a very fine lawn with .good. treatment. The seed should be sown in early spring, mid-August or September. It is simply sowed broadcast and raked M . with a fine rake. After this a good rolling is desirable, followed by a good watering if possible. A small area of '50 x 1100 feet, or 15,000 sq. ft., will require about one peck of Kentucky blue grass and one good handful of white Dutch clover. A well kept lawn needs rolling, es- pecially in early spring, before the lawn gets too dry. This will assist in levelling and repeated Fillings during the summer will 'keep it in good con- dition. Rolling when the lawn is dry is of little avail, Where irrigation or watering can be practised, the lawn can always be maintained in a green vigorous'con- dition. One heavy soaking :once a week is far superior to a. Tight sprinkling every night. If winter killing occurs, staking the lawn patchy, the soil of the killed areas may be -loosened' 'and. some more seed sowed, which may be raked in and then covered with a sift- ed loans and rolled. It is good practice. where a lawn is thin, to apply a little seed each fall, which will materially assist in main- taining the dense turf so much desired.
