A mimeo- graphed copy of his informative ad- dress will be available to W.I. sec- retary -treasurers throughout the province. The rest of the forenoon was talon tip with group discussions of officers' work and problems, fol- lowed by a pastel discussion in the afternoon, at which the group - leaders s111nillnrized their findings,- ancl discussed merits and-tilsnd- vantages of the practices that had been discussed. ;One contentious quebtl( ll created a'"good deal of interest --"Should the District An- nual he used as a get-to-gether for anniversaries and for hearing guest speakers?" The majority ruled that the District Amulet should be al- most entirely a business meeting. So that's that, ladies --no nlore an- niversaries or sjteakers at your Dist riot ..'\nnuals l In regard to Brooch -meetings tt was agreed that ghost speakers sometimes provided a stimulus but that having guest speakers too of- ten frequently created lazy mem- bers. 'I'o prevent this local talent should be developed to the limit, for one reason the surest way to maintain interest among the mem- bers was to keep .then busy. Re- ferring to the officers it was said "the president provides the inspir- ation and the secretary the pers- piration," A pleasing highlight of the af- ternoon was an address on "Leader- ship" by bliss Ethel Chapman, formerly - women editor of the Farmer's Magazine but now ap- pointed to the -staff of the Provin- cial W.T. "Almost everyone has some way in which she can be a leader," said ;Hiss Chapman. "There are, of course, different types of leaders but -most of them can be found in every local Branch. There will be one person who can make better pies titan anyone else, an- other oi1c is splendid at getting up a paper; or as convenor for ban- quets or programmes. Or in music, quilting or speaking—almost every person in every institute has some special talent. Sometimes it is ob- vinns but there are times when it has to be discovered and develop- ed." Hiss Chapman thought one good way for discovering hidden talent was to provide more oppor- tunity for discussion at W.I. meet- ings. It not only brought out ideas but was good training "for think- ing on your feet." The speaker made other pungent remarks—Op portunities for leadersbtp often • seemed greater in backward areas; in mere thickly populated places leadership was often only the re- sult of - (1011115 the job nearest to.

In view of these obvious shortcomings, certain other disadvantages of using topsoil purchased from outside sources mast be taken into account. Despite the prnblenta it may in- tensify, there are numerous cases in which the use of topsoil may be the only feasible alternative. It may often be employed In such operations as grading, and to re- place earth which has been lost through the normal process of erosion, In fact, in many sandy lo- cations. espeeially near the sea- shore, regular replenishment of soil is almost a necessity because of the unusual conditions encoun- tered there. 'Then, too, many gar- deners want 1 supply of topsoil fur spreading top -dressings. Beware of Weeds Since the composition or topsoil may vary very widely from one location to another, there exist Few fixed standards by which the in- experienced buyer may be guided. Countless truckloads of material sold as topsoil have possessed the most unhappy faculty of growing the most luxurieut stands of poison ivy, sour grass and assorted swamp flora. In such cases. the gond earth may well prove more a blight than a boons. Users of topsoil in quantity, such as municipalities and land- scape contractors, 'have established minimum -standards to describe the product. It should consist of a balanced mixture of no more than 30 per cent each of sand, clay and silt. The acid content should be within the p11 range of 5 and 7, and a minimum of 6 per cent should be natural, decomposed or- ganic mat t e r. Furthermore, it should contain no wood, rocks, large roots, or foreign natter of any kind. Only the upper layer, minus the sod is acceptable. Lumps of hardpan or subsoil are looked on with disfavor. From the viewpoint of determin- ing optimtuu texture, the screen test is highly significant, \Viten thoroughly dry, 99 per cent should , pass through a one -inch acreeu, and not more than 3 per cent should be retained by a quarter- inch mesh, Front 40 to 60 per cent should drop through a sieve with openings the size of insect nteslr. Visit to Source This is not intended to imply that the home owner must be a soil technologist in order to pur- chase topsoil. Nevertheless, some preliminary investigation is war- ranted before placing an order. If the dealer has a reputation for re liability', a personal visit to the source of supply may be sufficient. Earth dug from the tops of knolls and similar high spots should be , avoided, for such locations stay contain shallow deposits with a high sand and gravel content, from which much of the organic nutri- ments may have been leached out. Low, wet land should also mtake the buyer skeptical; it may have excessively sour soil, Topsoil is usltally sold by the cubic yard, or by tate truckload with the cul» c content specifically indicated. Since quotations will 'vary with haulage distances, price rdmparisons should be nuke am• ong neighboring dealers, And whet( ordering, it should he understood that the soil is not to be delivered in a frozen or muddy state, A little advance planning may save malty extra steps and one necessary work. The house owner should arrange to have the con- signment unloaded where it is bout convenient and accessible, 'rids may mean laying out planking over which the truck may pass, or clearing away obstructions. Soil should not be piled near open drains, where it may wash away during a rainstorm. Neither should it be allowed to lie on lawns for any length of time, since the grass beneath stay burn, Famous Beds "And so to bed , .
