Did you ever Wonder why .Orange Blossoms came 1,o be used in preference to other flowers in the traditional bridal 'wreath ? The story runs that. many years ago the king of Spain brought a few expensive Orange trees from Asia. His old gardener cared for the trees till the death of the flower - loving king. The next monarch ord- ered the garden destroyed. * :k * The king's son, who loved the Orange trees asked the gardener's daughter to plant a few roots -secret- ly near her honle—save them—and he would reward her. Fearful of the new king's displeasure, the girl de- cided to go to the queen and tell11er the story. Impressed, the queen pre- sented her with five potted trees, and the price paid her so handsome- ly thtat she was able to marry her penniless sailor suitor, IX k * 5 When she was dressing for the 'wedding. the young girl saw a little spray of Orange Blossoms on her father's garden clothes. She twined it into the wreath that held her.vc;il, explaining to her surprised attend- ant that she wore it in gratitude, for it was really the Orange Blossoms which had made her marriage pos- sible. * This story quickly spread through Europe and the Americas, anis soon it became the custom for brides to wear Orange Blossoms.

BORN ARLES --In Seolt Memorial Hospi- tal on . Wednesday. May 28, 1991, to Sir. and Mrs. Faucet Barges, Seaforth, twin eons, 0111, still born. Whet About Ecorse Creeding ? Experimental ,Fare; 1,i',,vis) With the present day -portage of farm labour and the trend towards mechanical power, the question arises "What About Horse Breed. frig?" Many farmers are agreed that the tractor is very helpful for the spring and fall rush of heavy work, but many also know that horses are necessary from an economical stand- point on farms, especially on mixed iaims. However,uin order to keep up a supply of horses the.. farmer must plan for the future, It takes four years or more to produce a work horse and in the present scarcity of help, ]corse breeding is likely to be neglected, especially so since there is not much demand for horses at the present time, says Dr. Alan Deakin, Division of Animal ;Husbandry. Cent- ral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. It is advisable for farmers to con- tinue breedings from their good old mares. The good, young mares too, should be bred or some difficulty might be experienced in getting them started to breed when they advance in age. On an average, only about 50 per cent of the mares bred are success- fully settled. It is advisable to try and get the mare bred one or two days before the end of this heat period, even if this involves a special trip to meet the turret-. Greater care in this regard may reduce some of the disappointments 112 tore breed teeireeettketieteNeeetteteteee FOR EVERY CANADIAN who sails the deep, for every airman who flashes through the skies, and for every other man in the fighting forces, the prayers of the nation "rise like a fountain, night and clay." In times of crisis our people stand steadfast. In daily devotions they renew the flame of faith and arm with unseen powers their warriors in the field. Oftentimes they discern the Unseen Hand. Witness the miracle of Dunkirk. Witness, too, in the darkest hours the emergence of great inspiring figures to steady the ranks of Democracy and fire its courage and confidence. Church bells are ringing throughout Canada calling men and women to worship and sacrifice in defence of our freedom, the sanctity of our homes and the future of our children.

Proper Mowing Important In Lawn Maintenance— The main objects in mowing a lawn are to improve its appearance and at the sante time to encourage ' a dense. healthy turf. Many lawn owners not only fail to achieve these objects but also succeed in ruining their lawns by faulty mowing. states J. H. Boyce, Division of Forage Plants, Dominion Experimental Farms Service. Height of cut is one o£ the most important considera- tiens in mowing. The common Tawe graeses will not withstand very (-lose mowing. Even when main- tained at moderately short heights. ordinary lawn grasses suffer because of the continual defoliation and be- cause the roots, which tend to main- tain a balance with the amount of top growth. become restricted to the top few incites of soil, thus limiting their feeding range for plant food and moisture, and: consequently re- ducing the ability of the turf to com- pete with weeds and to withstand heat and drought. If the grass is per- mitted to grow too long, on the other hand, a spindly growth is produced and a thin, open sward results. It is recommended that ordinary lawns never be cut to a height of less than one inch, A height of lee to 2 inches. is much to be preferred in most cases. This height encourages a dense, healthy turf, and permits suf- ficient top and root growth to allow the leaves and roots to function properly. 'Higher snowing is particul- arly important in shady locations where decreased sunlight makes a larger amount of foliage desirable. In order to secure best results, a re- gular mowing program must be fol- lowed based on the amount of growth being produced rather than on a time schedule, as is so fi•equ- entry the case. It is suggested that the grass be allowed to make not more thanone inch of new growth between moorings. Thus mowing may be necessary twice or even three times a week during the spring but may not be necessary oftener than once every ten days or two weeks during the warm months. In the fall it is recommended that mow- ing be concluded at a• time which will allow the grass to attain a height 65 2 to 8 inches before growth ceases. In the spring it is desirable to permit the grass to make some new growth before mowing is started. This will permit the new roots which are being formed at this time to be- come well established. It is import- ant that the mower be kept sharp at all times. Most lawn mowers, as a rule are set to cut too low. The height of cut can be adjusted by raising or lowering the rollers.
