Hints On Pruning
This is the month tor pruning in the
small garden and larger place too, Al
of the dead' canes should be<removed
from the raspberry patch as well as
the spindly ones among the new
growth, Some of the older wood
should be out away from the goose
berries and currants, Grapes must' b
pruned early to avoid excessive bleed
Ing. These vines should be cut back
to a mere skeleton as the fruit i
borne on the wood grown'thls year
Fruit trees should be opeuecl ep :t0
let in sunlight and alv in prunin
roses, one should remember that or
dinarily the flowers are. borne on theh
new wood of the season, It should
be the aim, therefore, to secure strong
shoots for flower bearing, and not
to. many per plant; otherwise.small,
weak stems and inferior flowers will
result, Pruning of tate hybrid perpet-
uals" should be done early In the
Sr'i' just before the new growth is
appearing. Out each cane back to'
six or eight burs from the ground,' al -
w ys cutting pest above a bud point-
ing outward. The weaker growing
hybrid teas are pruned more severely.
If size and high quality of flowers are
'fought, 'al but five shoots are cut to
the base, and each of these remaining
five iscutback to trees br four buds.
AH dead ood or weals shoots, or
branches that cross each other, should
bere.'rved in any case..
Advantages of • Vegetable Garden
Perhaps it may be'more economical
to buy fresh vegetables in the market
if one figures his time on the basis of
bis daily income, but in this. case with
those vegetables -which lose their
crispness and flavour in a few hours
there is a big disadvantage. One can-
not buy quality_ in corn, for instance;
to, get it at its best, it must come out
of the garden right at the door. The
same is true of'young carrots, peas,
beans, lettuce, spinach, and in fact
almost every vegetable that grows
early in the year. Then .there is an -
So often' one forgets to order some
vegetable at- the store, particularly
onions, or something needed for
flavoring. The kitchen' garden' will
supply any want in this connection.
with young children, have found that
they need more fresh vegetables.
There is no secret of producing these.
Tho main thing' needed is a well pee,
pared garden, preferably with open
Boil, and a sunny position. Plant the
seed at the time advised in the cata-
logues, apply seine quickly available
fertilizer, like nitrate of soda, culti-
vate well, water when necessary, and
a supply of fresh vegetables is as-
sured. .

Low Salaries
La Petrie (Cons.): Why do our

gration policy? 'Why do our com-
patriots continue to cross the frontier
into the United States? We can find
the answer in the table of our imports.
Immigrants will not stay here, and
workers leave the country because
there is no, worir for them in Canada.
It is foreign factories which feed the
market of local consumption, so that
employment for our workers is outside
our owu beederaa . . At their last
meetingthe; Trades and Labor Coun-
cil of_Montreal called attention to the
level of salaries which is below that
of the cost of living, Why are salaries
so low? Simply because, as a result
of the persistent development of
import trade, there is' less and less
demand for workers in Canada. This
is likely to last until the working
class realizes its peril and revolts
against a policy which deprives it of
its daily bread.

The Return to Canada
Le Canada (Lib.): During the first
eleven months of the fiscal year which
terminates at the end of the present
month 31,420 Canadians who were es-
tablished In the neighboring republic
have returned to Canada.... There
is nothing to be surprised at in this
return movement of our people, for
we know that conditions with our
neighbors are not as favorable as they
wished us to believe a few years ago.
It is doubtless because of the
particularly difficult conditions which
exist in certain parts of the United
States that thousands of Canadians
prefer to return to Canada and estab-
lish themselves in new and fertile
territory, where industry is soon
crowned with a decent competence.

County Health Units
The following editorial, taken
Irons the current issue of the Cana-
dian Public Health Journal, supports
the contention of responsible health
officials all over Canada, that the
present system of safeguarding health
in rural and sen entral communities
is obsolete,
ONTARIO, WHAT?
There is no doubt that the county
health units will provide the solution
of the most pressing health needs of
Canada: In . the larger urban areas
the benefits of a well-financed, fully -
organized, full-time health service
have been obvious for many years.
On the contrary, the high sickness and
mortality rates in areas not so eared
for have been a manfest demonstra-
tion of the need of trained full-time
service, One could, without much
difficulty, select various areas in Can-
ada in which contracts of a most
striking character are evident. In
spite of some exceptions, generally
the areas where part-time service is
relied upon are characterized by
neglect of many of the fundamentals
which have come to be looked upon
as essential if sickness rates and
death rates are to pursue a progros
sively downward course. The best
work is found in the places (until
recently only in cities) in which a
full-time, trained personnel has been
made possible.
In various parts of Canada, notably
Quebec, the county health unit has
proved to be eminently satisfactory.
In other sections of the country such
units would be established were it
made financially possible. There is
no doubt that, were a method evoived
for lightening the burden which many
counties or similar areas may feel
excessive under present conidtions,
the idea would spread very rapidly.
One cannot but feel that, in view
of the proven fact that organization
of the county health unit type will
definitely save life, a determined effort
should be made' to, make such organ-
ization possible for the whole of Can.
ada. The relative poverty of any sec-
tion of the country should be no rea-
sen why that section should be ne-
glected. After all we are all Cana-
dians whatever province we live in,
and sur'oly, the part of the Dominion
Government is to see that in every
part of Canada the most valhable of
our assets—human life—is cared for.
Dominion subsidy of the provinces
on conidtion that the provinces and
In•'nicipalities do their part is the gals
solution of the problem. The Cana-
dian Pnblla .health Association has no
hesitation in urging every member of
Parliament to give vigorous support.

Teach Thrift
As boys and girls advance in years it
is a good plan to :tart them with a
savings bank account. They may. in.
this way acquire ,habits o thrift that
will be of be.tefit to them in later
years. In dealing with their wards
the various Children's Aid Societies
have savings accounts totalling $86,-
555. These are individual bank ac-
counts, and in cases where the amount
is over $50 inte es is added, This
money is paid over to the children
when they arrive at years of discretion
and they are urged to add to the
amount so that they can in time buy
a home or start in business. At the
same time, and quite in harmony with
the savings idea, children should be
a:lowed to have a little money in cash
..o that there may be 110 temptation to
steal when they get the chance. This
would almost certainly Increase their
self -.respect and add greatly to their
happiness.

The Assimilation of Settlers
Three Rivers Nouvelliste (Cons,);
Our neighbors to the South are come
plaining of the difficulty which they
experience in assimilating their immi-
grants and fusing them into the Ane
erican nation. Many of their writers
recognize frankly that the problem of
assimilation is still to be solved by
them and that it may very likely never
reach a solution. Foreign groups con-
tinue to stand together and. a great
town like New York is far from being
an American town despite all appear-
ances. If the United States find sucb
difficulty in assimilating their imine
grants, bow much heavier will be the
task of Canada which has seen the
great mass of her immigrants settle in
the West?
