JOHNSTON, V9gotab'lo •Specialist, u1te,, Ontario ontVrtroonti or -At no time in many years has the necessity and importance of the horny vegetable garden been so clear - 1Y shown as.for this cowing summer. France, our wonderful ally,,has slues the French Revolutlou been ti nation of small farmers, her people of small means cultivating aomo available land to prodtico a portion of their own houssliold'foodstuffs and to .M- ercian the wealth of the nation; Great Britain,; threatened with a shortage of foodstuffs, determined to cultivate 'all avatiablo land possible' to offset ibis abortage and wo In Canada bending every energy toward faeilitating these great nations should do all In our individual power to do something in the hope of help-. ing ourselves and assisting the com- mercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicapped by the short- age hortage of labor in the production of vegetable foodstuffs. Everycity, town, and village dweller has an op- portunity to help this great work, in that there aro hundreds of, avail- able plots now practically unpreduc ttve which could be 'made grow vegetables and thus add to the wealth of the country. '''Vegetables an Important Food. ' Vegetables should form an import ant portion of the daily food of the average human being,for they possess qualities which we are told are essen- tial in the proper digestion of the heavy foods, such as meats, To help you do your part in yourbackyard this column will discuss some of the practical problems in connection with vegetable growing during the next few' weeks. All backyards cannqt be prepared in one year to grow vegetables of au excellent quality. Some portion of the yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there aro -usually many vacant .lots Which are not too far from one's place of abode which possibly could be devoted to the growing of veget- ables. Some Essentials. First of all it is essential that the vegetable garden, no matter how small, be planted according to some plan or rule.., No one attempts to build A bouse or to set out a peren- nial flower ' border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable garden be treat- ed . differently? Haphazard planting will 'prove a failure, and in order to overcome this it should be remem- bered in laying out the garden that— ,(1) Tall plants will be most effec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled with them. (2) All plants closely allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but in rows adjoining one another. (3) The fences may be decorated with vine crops which may be sup- ported on the fences by means of strings or lattice work. (4) All quickly maturing veget- ables should be planted in a portion of the garden by themselves so that they may be harvested and the ground used, for other crops later on. The work of planning the garden to determine what vegetables and how Bruch of each is to be grown will be influenced by one's individ- ual tastes. One should grow an abundance of such crops as one con- sumes the most. Secure Seed Now—But Plant Only When Soil is Ready. The backyard gardener should de- cide very early which crops are to be grown and should purchase his _seed as soon as possible. It must be remembered, however, that much of this seed may be' wasted if it is planted too early in the season. The soil must : be warm to receive the seeds, and amateur gardeners must have patience until it is certain that good growing weather is really here, It is possible in ordinary seasons to plant some vegetables in April, and yet many backyard vegetable en- thusiasts will be well advised to wait until the middle of May before doing very much in the garden, Suitable Varieties.

BIERT LAMIF Phone 183 D Ford Dealer, CLINTON Large r Farm Crops TIMELY INFORi17A.TION GIVEN BY PROFFNSSOR ZA\'ITZ. At the inaugural meeting of the Agricultural Committee of the Lgis- lature held early in March a propo- ganda was instituted towards meet- ing the, problems imposed by the war on the agricultural industry. At the request of Sir William Hearst, Minister of Agriculture, Professor C. A. Zavitz, of the Ontario , Agricul- tural College, spoke at some , length on ways and means of increasing crop production and the right kinds of material to use. Sir . William self made a ,few remarks emphasiz- ing the need not only of growing foodstuffs, but of growing those kinds of foodstuffs which will be most need- ed both hereanti in the Mother Country, There was "a'desire on all sides, said Professor 'Zavitz, to do all pos- sible to meet the very. trying condi- tions that existed at the present time, but he hoped the suggestions he had to offer would be 01 10001 ser- vice in connection with -the increase, if possible, and especially the quality of the crops in Ontario for the com- ing year. Owing to The scarity of labor all possible means should be adopted to economize labor. While many of these suggestions were obvious, their importance could 'not be too strongly emphasized if actual results were to be achieved on the year's operations. Ile therefore, said as a first consid- eration the farmer should get readyi for the year'srcrop before the snow disappears from the ground. The seed should be selected, cleaned,' and got ready for spring sowing. In the great majority of cases ft 'had, been .found that the seed which produced the best results was that grown in the locality where it would be used. In Ontario generally speaking, there was a lot of seed of good quality. At the College they had learned from a long series of experiments that "plump" seed gave much better re- sults than small seed, but more send would have tobe used in sowing,, as the plants from this class' •of seed were larger and more vigorous titan from small seed, The next point made was the im- portance of planting the seed at the right time, Much had also been learned in this respect byi experi- ments at the . College. Briefly these results indicated that in case of spring wheat it was important to get it in the ground ',just as quickly as the land could be worked. This should be immediately ;followed by oats, '1'he barley should be put in next, then peas and beans, Getting the peed into the ground at the right time means no addition of bushels per acre, Turning his attention to the crops that might be sown to advantage, Professor 'Zavitz urged an increased sowing of beans. Beans were grown extensively iii Michigan and New York ,Status and it was reasonable to assume 'that Ontario, lying be- tween theta, coiner grow beans ,profit- able. The bean was a highly con- eentnated food product, and the seed available int. Ontario was conipara- tively free from disease, The variety, that ho thought could be used to best advantage was the coalmen white pea bean. Tiley are already grown t0 some texteet in every aun- ty in the province, and weld he greatly' extended' with profit, Pre - Veiling prices are nigh arid w111 con - Wale to be se as long as the war lasts, Flo very strongly 411ge9 the growing of More beans. . The pea crop might also be in- creased, but he did not urge this stronglyt. Like the bean the pea was a concentrated .food, Another crop that could be in- creased to great, advantage, said Pro- fessor Zavitz, was oats. The oat crop was exceedingly( important, It was needed to feed our live stock, and live stock was greatly needed. The oat crop of Ontario was worth in value about one-quarter of all farm crops. Reiterating. his former advice about sowing good Seed, he declared the farmer should insist ongetting seed oats of a good variety. There was a limited supply of 0. A. E. No. 72 oats, and he understood the Do- minion Government .was arranging to get "Banner" seed oats from the West; in fact about 400,000 bushels had boon collected for seed purposes in the terminal elevators. If the farmer could not seeuie these he sug- gested that No, 1 commercial seed oats be purchased, but on no account the ordinary commercial .feeding ;oats, This point he strongly em- phasized as being essential to sue- cess—first home grown seed and next western seed of known variety. Professor Zavitz warned the (arm- ors against purchasing at a high price seed oats that were exploited by United States seed houses, when the same qualitp of seed could be pur- chased in 'Ontario at from one-third to one-quarter the price. At the request of the committee, Professor Zavitz, referred briefly to the potato question. The existing high price of potatoes he thought would result in a great many people • in cities and towns using vacant 'land for potato growing this year. This icrop could also he very well ex- tended because of its great food value. As to ;methods to ,be =plop - ed in sowing, he' said, that best re- turns would be secured from sowing small, immature potatoes from good, healthy plants, as distinguished from small potatoes of a , poor variety. Large potatoes, whorl used, should be cut into pieces of about two ounces in 'weight, ' 'Experiments along this line had been conducted over a series of years, and . the two - ounce seed, order oxhetly Similar conditions to one -ounce pieces and less, had given a' yield of 177 bushels Per acre, This was also demon- strated at the Central Experimental Farm atOttawa 'where they, got bet- ter results,from potatoes from Indian Bead than from places further south.. •Not because the potatoes came from Indian head, but rather that the potatoes did trot come to the same degree of maturity. Give first preference to your home-grown seed by all means. The weather conditions last year, said Professor Zavitz, were ab- normal. Fortunatelp most of the seed in Ontario was free from dis- ease. The labor shortage continued to be actite, and it could not well be ovocome while the war lasted. But he was assured that if the sugges- tions that he had throwntoit to the committee were adopted 500(0 islyn by the farmers of Ontario, the seed pre- pared before the snow 'disappears, sowing done at the proper time, and "plump" seed selected, free from disease or blight, that the results lin the farmersfrom this season's crop, given reasonable weather conditions, would be astonishing to the farmers themselves and a great help to the 000111ry, John It Dargavol, 131..P, P., Was elected chairman anis the Members Presents showed ti great interest in the discussion, TEE BLOOD IS THE: LIFE, The blood is the life because it fr.,. •-- the nutritive fluid.

The, "Baun," for instance, gets one as follows: "It is time the chaplain was pay- ing the Baun a visit, Someone said the other night that a whale can swallow only one herring at a trine, and another member of the Baun re- marked that it couldn't be true ba., cause 'it was a whale that swallow- ed Noah.'"
