The Seaforth News, 1953-03-19, Page 3Grp lr MMB ,i,, Gordon, S'w th Indoors First Th.: first plantings will be the deeds started in flats on the win- dow sill or in Hotbeds or green houses. These are sown early in March and by the time they are ready to transplant to permanent quarters outside they will be six to ten inches high. Things that should be started early In this way are those that if sown di- rectly out of doors would hardly have sufficient time to mature or flower, Tomatoes, cabbage, peppers come in this category in the vegetables and petunias, zinnias, begonias and scores of other flowering plants. Many gardeners in the cities and towns are able to buy these as started plants in flats from seedamen or nurserymen,. But in some cases, of course, this is not possible. Then again there are some gardeners who, to snake certain of particular varieties, grow their own plants anyway. Where the garden is large and several hundreds of started plants are needed it is cheaper to grow one's own. In this case, however a hotbed is advisable. For the construction of these affairs one should consult a government bul- letin, For starting seed indoors use a good .mixture of sand and fine loam. ' First planting outside will be very hardy things that are not afraid of frost and like to snake their best growth in cool weather. Sweet peas are in this group, and grass seed and nursery stock. 'The latter is the trade name for young vines, shrubs and trees; ready for transplanting. One can hardly plant these things too soon. Whets Soil is Ready With trees and other. nursery stock, one can move or trans- plant when the soil is rather damp, but it is a mistake to do ee any general sowing or cultivat- ing while the ground is the least bit muddy. Heavy soil is actually inured and later trouble results when it is dug or worked too soon: A good test is to take a little earth and squeeze it in the Mand. If when released it crum- bles but does not pack it is fit for the spade or plow, Good Seed the Rey Too much emphasis cannot be laid on good seed. That means more than just high quality. It is seed of varieties especially se- lected and for Canadian condi- tion& in vegetables it also means that the variety has been ap- proved and tested officially for Canada. As seed is the only fac- tor in gardening over which one has absolute control, and it costs only a few cents, nothing but the best should be considered. Constant Improvement Last Spring, in three or four experimental grounds across Can- •ada and in similar places in the northern part of the United States, certain seeds of vegetables and flowers were planted. Only a test number identified these new introductions of plant breed- ers from all over the world. Ex- perts watched the results. They noted hardiness, freedom from disease, sureness of coloring in Ewers, quality in the vege- tables, earliness and other points which make a plant suitable and valuable for our hardy climate. On the basis of their observa- tions these new introductions were approved or disqualified. The best of these, along with those of previous years will be listed in the Canadian seed cata- logues this spring. Phis is the way new develop- ments in the garden world are introduced to the home gardener. In few other lines are the results of research, experiment and field trials made available so quickly for amateur or commercial use. Texas Corn Chips Will E liven 'our Cooking .g BY DOROTHY MADDOX -A-4 gracious cotton, oil, corn chips, toll .ltandsotnr ,,.;ae and gracious women, that's the Texas we saw. From Fort Worth to San Antonio, from east to west in Texas, we ate chili and nibbled on golden corn chips to our hearts content. In Dallas, Nell Morris, director of Frito Company's research kitchens, gave us lessons in how to use eorn chips to brighten up ordinary dishes. You don't have to live in the hospitable Lone Star State to serve these unusual dishes to your family and friends. .5,11 you need is sone of the know-how Nell Morris gave us under the Texas sunshine, Texas Baked liner Basks (Serves 54) Two medium old potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, 4'e teaspoon black pepper, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cups cooked ground beef, 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (diluted with 1 can water), 1 cup lightly crushed corn chips (measured miter crushing),' cup grated American cheese, In an oiled casserole, arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes sprinkled with salt and pepper.

The way things look at the time these words are written, we will all have "Frozen Des-. sert" to top off our Easter Dinner, "Frozen Dessert" is a stuff that looks like ice cream, tastes like ice cream, but in the eyes of the law is not ice cream, because it does not contain cream. Instead of butterfat, vegetable oils are used. It is made in Ontario right now and will be ready for sale any time. Some provinces have banned it, while so far in Ontario any- body is free to manufacture it. Last year the Ontario Legislature passed the Edible Oil Products Act which was never proclaimed. Now the Minister of Agriculture wants to amend this act which isn't even in force. The amendment will give the government power (a) to ban edible oil products, (b) to ex- empt oil products from the ban. Who will win in this little game of ban and exemption? The farmers? a e e Another. Union Needed? Doctors, lawyers, bankers, manufacturers and even labour - men, all have their unions. Pretty tight ones too, with closed shop, examinations, licences, membership fees and what not. On the other hand anybody can go and buy a piece of land and start producing milk and eggs and beef and pork, Not that we want to change it; after all a man is only really free on his own land and free we want to be. But why is there no fanners' union? One strong organization whose leaders can speak for the farmer without first looking around to see whether: there is somebody to back then up. True, we have the Federation of Agriculture. But is it giving the farmers the leadership they expect? And are the leaders of the Federation getting the back- ing front the rank and file, which they need to do a good job? what do you think, neighbour? 0 0 0 Strange Diseeepartcy Canadian National Income in- creased from $17,284 million in 1951 to $18,307 million in 1952; wages, salaries and supplement- ary labour income gained almost 12%u, climbing from $9,732 mil- lion in 1951 to $10,855 million in 1952. According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics "Accrued net income of farm operators from farm production declined by $255 million in 1962, a drop of 12% from the record level established in 1951," Maybe farmers should hire some labour leaders to look after their affairs.

Korean Water Hole—Water may be easy to get in most parts of the world, but this Seoul, Korea, boy had to chop a hole in the thick ice of the Han River to get his. There is still a critical water supply problem in this war-torn city and the bitter win- ter cold is hampering efforts to solve it. A Poet Who Was Always In Love 13 was at the age of sixteen that Robert Burns, Scotland's national hard, began to compose verses in the Scottish dialect, and it is not surprising that these were distinctly amorous. Even at that age he was deeply in love with a fair-haired child of four- teen. She was the first of a long line of love affairs, which all acted more as spurs to Burns' poetical genius. One of Burns' most poignant affairs was with Mary Campbell, daughter of a Dunoon sailor. He fell deeply in love with her and they exchanged Bibles as tokens of their vows to remain faithful to one another. They became engaged, and Mary went away to the West Highlands to prepare for the wedding, but while there she fell ill and died. Burns and his brother Gilbert later took a small farm called Mossgiei, in Mauchline. There Burns composed rhymes about farm animals, and wicked stan- zas mocking et the neighbouring preachers. ` It was there, too, that the i'rowning romance of his life came to hint. He met and loll in lime with Jean Armour in the spring of 1786. She was .the daughter of a master -mason liv- ing in blauehline, au upright, re. tigious man, with a very narrow mind. Jean was one of the local beauties, and we have it on Burns' authority that she was "a dancing, sweet young handsome queen." • B121'!'? hod not ft ^1)11011 ft..•, ltut this did not prevent hila falling deeply in love with Jean.

The birth of an illegitimate child brought about a public condemnation of the young poet by the ministers of the Church, Ile ridiculed them, using the sharpest weapons of his genius to do so. Fiery poems, such as "The Holy Friar," "The Ordination," "Holy Willie's Prayer," and other bit- ter brilliances flowed from his pen and hardly tended to enhance his reputation in the eyes of Jean Armour's father. In fact, he for- bade her ever to speak to Burns again. But this dictatorship had pre- cisely the opposite effect on the girl to what was intended. The two lovers went through their awn form of marriage, writ- ing down that they legally took each other as man and wife, but they did not dare to proclaim it. Jean was to become a mother, and she went to her father and confessed to him. He threw the marriage lines they had written into the fire, The neighbourhood branded the poet as a villain and an outcast, and under constant persecution he determined to emigrate to Jamaica, but before he could de so the first volume of his poems appeared in Edinburgh. They were an instant success. He came back to Jean and found that her father had relent- ed. They were married in April, 1788. She was an ideal wife, but he found that he simply could not escape the attentions of other women who wished to lionise him. He constantlylapsed into flirtations, but through them all Jean seems to have borne with him devotedly and understand- ingly. In 1795 his only daughter (at that time) by Jean died, and the blow weakened him. He was stricken with rheumatic fever the fallowing spring, and before he was fully recovered he went out, caught a chill, and died at the age of thirty-seven. On July 26th, 1796, over ten thousand people followed the Bard of Scotland to his grave. Thieves broke into a New York apartment and stole the tenant's uninsured diamond ring, leaving the fully insured ring untouched. (14 UNOAY SCIIOO r LESSON Sp fief 1t. Banque Wet: (IA 1 A.. a D.
