ORO)WINIG THE W:A'LNT Ontario grown, soft shell walnuts of excellent quality have been pro- duced in 'che Niagara Peninsula. A few trees have given good crops for thirty, years or more. The number of producing trees that we know of wbw is 165, and theseare located in. a district fifty miles long and twenty miles wide, an odd tree here and there in the dooryard or the orchard of well kept premises. Trees are fruiting as far east as Clarkson on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Southwestern Ontario Can Grow Nuts. The Niagara Peninsula" and the counties bordering Lake Erie have e climate more favorable to production of the soft shell waited than certain districts in Europe where nuts are grown to take care of the local mar, ket demand. There are large areae of deep, rich soil in the district north of Lake Elrie east to the Niagara river and west to the Detroit rivet that will grow, acceptable soft `shell walnuts, and Japanese Heart Nuts. Why not keep the $5,000,00.0 'at' home? There is satisfaction in savant{ money, and there is more satisfaction in sitting before the home fireplace on winter evenings cracking the fruit of our own labor. In about 100. On- tario rural homes this is being done now. The flickering wood fire is pleasant in itself, but a plentiful sup- ply of walnuts at hand, easy to crack and sweet to eat, will help one to •enjoy. life. Thousands of rural homes can have walnuts, providing of course that the home is located in the Lake Erie counties, or in a district where the climate will permit the full develop- ment of the -peach. The Walnut Tree Described'. The walnut tree, when dormant, will stand heavy frosts in midwinter, but it 'will not stand late spring or early autumn frosts. Areas reason- ably free from frost during the period April 30th to October 10th alone should be considered. The soft shell walnut grows to be a very large tree, is of thedeep, tap -rooted type, hence the soil mnat be deep enough and rich enough to support a big tree. A good surface soil of clay loam or sandy loam that is uoderiain by a deep, porous, sandy sub -soil in which the Water table is below fifteen feet, a soil that Is rich, cool and moist, but not wet, will produce the finest speci- mens of walnut trees. However, the range of soil types on which the wal- nut tree grow is quite large, since this tree is to be found growing on sandy, gravelly and clay loams, and succeeding in proportion as these soil types furnish depth for root room, Plant food and moisture, Use Hardy Grafted or Budded Stock. ' To be successful the walnut tree must be a vigorous grower, of a var- iety that blossoms moderately late, a self -pollinator, and it must yield an abundant annual crop of desirable nuts. These factors are best obtained' by planting hardy grafted or budded stock. The native black walnut has the hardy and vigorous characteris- tics, it is most desirable as a root system for a soft shell English wal- nut. Get your start by growing seed- ling black walnuts up to a size suit- able to graft. Three-eighths of an inch in size does very well, then whip graft a scion obtained from a hardy soft shell tree, making an entirely new top. The black walnuts for seed- lings can be planted in the autumn or spring. If kept until spring lay away in cold, moist sand. Plant the seedwith the pointed end up, two inches deepin good garden soh. Keep the soillwell raked and free from weeds. The little trees will be large enough eor grafting at the end of the second season, or when growth is starting the following spring. The grafting of the walnut offers more difficulties than apple grafting, re- quiring greater care. The following conditions are essential to success; fully dormant wood for scions, the cambium of stock and scion must be brought into exact contact, the work must be done: es the leaf buds of the tree to be 'grafted on are unfolding, a condition that varies with indivi- dual tree, The cleft in the stock or, amputaticree and the shaping of the scion should be each as to give a perfect fit. The exposed surface of the stock and scion must be held and protected by tape and wax, the entire scion -should be waxed over, the scion wood should be secured two ve f^ren weeks before required and kept ir, cold, moist sand. The scion wood should be firm and have a very small pith cavity. Both seedling and graft- ed trees usually bear at eight years. Best Varieties, for Ontario. The Japanese W,alnutor Heart Nut will stand lower temperature than the Soft Shell English Walnut. It, too, is of good quality and easy' to crack, A tree planted twelve years ago at Scotland, Ontario, gave two bushels of free fromthe husk nuts last year. Some of the older Eng- lish soft shells in the Niagara Penin- sula have yielded as high as twelve bushels of nuts in a single season. A few sort shell walnut trees will add' "alae, beauty and usefulness to any farmstead.—L. Stevenson, Depart- ment of Extension, O. A. C., Guelph.

THE RISE OF ART IN CANADA UP TO C'ONFED'ERATION Iii a special article in the 1931 Can- ada Year Book, entitled, "The Dev- elopment of the Fine Arts in Canada," contributed by Newton MecTavish, M.A., D.Litt.., brother of tbir. John ,h'Iac'Tavfsli of Seaforth, the folio Whig chapter is of local interest. The four 'paint•ers;w'hom we have discovered as the pioneers of art in Canada, apart from Kane, dida rot ac- tually come upon the scene.as artists until ab'oait the mid'd'le of the century. That was not a propitiates time for Pile advancemen't of art: Still, we find that in 11834 the Artists' Society had cond'u'cted the first art exhibition on re'c'ord in Toronto. This exhibition had been held in ,the Old 'Parliament 135 tiding, witlh Sir John Colborne, the Lieutenant 'Go'vernor of Upper Can- ada, as the chief pa'tron.Thirteen years later the Toronto Society of Ants had beenorganized. This society had held there exhibitions and among tlhe exhibitors h'a'd been Krieghoff, G. T. Berthon, and Paul Kane. 'Later stili, in 1867, the very 9ear of Con- federation. the Society of Canadian artists, which ha'd but a brief career, was organized in Montreal, with John Bell -Smith, father of F. \4, Bali- Sanith, as its president, 'B.ut the country itself was progres- sing. The rebellion of '37 had _passed and responsible government the cause of much 'contention, was at length es- tablished. Toronto had become a place of consequence, boasting the. seat of government, a university, and, as citizen's, a number of distinguished personages Motrbreal was climbing !Beaver l ael Hill, and such places as IHaan!4'ton, Niagara . and Kingston could' 'fay claim to a s'howiit'gof refine - ,But the art of painting was a thing unlronoured and unsung. If it were nurtured at a17 11 was in the bosoms of strange individuals who came from abroad and settled in Canada, perhaps in remote spots, with hopes of estab- rlishi ng, .as Wordsworth cstabt s'h'ed a't Ryd'a'l, a centre of culture and quiet enljoymen't. For' example, take the case of the painter William Cresswel'h He came to Canada a decade or two later and selected far his future home a beautiful site in IIuron county, a few miles from the town of Seaforth. iI-Ie went, es it would seem to an Eng- lish gentleman of his means and cul- ture, to the backwoods. For the coup'try still supported dense forests and was still in the pioneer stage of zation. Nevertheless, the eye of the artist had been attracted thither, The spot where Cresswell chose to bund his house, a spot not without aspects of beauty even today, though avow sadly neglected, footed down upon the valley of the Maitland. The flow of water, which ntdw is shallow and shrunken, formed then a 'brim- ming river, and the meadows and elms were such as: the artist had 'ad- mired' at 'home, along the banks of the Avon or the backwaters of fhe Tlianies: Cresswell lived there, there he paint- ed but he had to go a hundred miles from Nome before be could find any sympathy with his aim's or under- standing of his efforts, This applies likewise to Fowler, and it was un- doubtedly the experience of Harlow White, another Englishman who came to Canada and essayed the praiseworthy task of painting local scenery. 'We can scarcely imagine these ar- tists seeking a market in Canada. On the other hand, we are as unlikely to think of them finding a -market a- broad. They were as a matter of fact, like others who painted in Can- ada about the time of Confederation, between the high and the low strata of 'appreciation. While (heir topogra- phical pictures could be better done today by the camera, they were too good for the Canadian market ,and not good enough for the markets abroad. There erre, happily, some outstanding .exceptions—the still -hie studies and landscapes of Fowler, which if not strikingly artistic are ne- vertheless faithful reproductions, and the landscapes of Jacobi. For although we have gone on many years from the time we 'first introduced these two painters, they .were still active and on the scene, Kane, Berthon and' ICrieg- hoff also lingered on, although they were, with the exception of Berthon, soon to depart.. These painters withnessed the slaw progress of the country. They saw the union o'f Upper 'Canada with Lower Canada, the beginning of re's- ponsib'le igovernment, the struggle for Confederation, and finally Upper Can- ada and Lower Canada become but a part of one vast Dominion. But it roust he ern phasized that through oart all 'this, in abl these Years, they saw only one or two intermi'tten't attempts which resolved mostly 'into feeble so eiaL gatherings, to place in consbina- tion before the public objects of local produ'ction that could make any shoiw of artistic merit. Like Kane, but irr later years and under vastly different circunestances, IF, A.. Verner,. RIC.A., a native of On- tario, made studies of Western .life, ,treating alm'o'st exclus'ive'ly the B•utI- alo" and the Indian. Kane went into great detail, He made •pic'tuees a -f Itt- dian villages, "lo'd'ges, interiors, In- dian game's, beetles,. dances, sports and dc'mes•tic 'handicrafts'. He shows how' the net and spear' were used in capturing salmon, In many of the pictures the almost absolute naked- ness of the Ind'ian's is impressive, though same of them, on the other hand, display an abundance of gorg- eous apparel. "Halfbreed's 'Travel- ling", shows a large cavalcade passing from an elevation to a lower 'Level,. Everyve'hicle IS two -wheeled' and is hauled by one ax. A few houses are seen, bet they run wild or carry the Minters. Each wagon supports a long upright pole, atthe tap of ,which flut- ters •a flag or .tuft of some kind. Kane pictures deserve to be known and cheris'hed if for no other reason than that the material for them was obtained by the painter under great risks and difficulties. Kane was born in 111810 in Ireland, He came as a child with his parents, to York, Upper Can- ada, at a time when art was almost unknown in that actual backwoods community,. He 'had a natural ten- dency towards drawing and in spite of adverse circumstances lie succeeded in making the painting of portraits his profession. Early in 'life, 'however, he nourished the ambition to devote "such talents as he possessed", . to quote from his Wanderings, to the painting of a series o'f pictures "illu- strative of the North American Ind- ians and scenery." At the age of twenty-six years he 'visited the Sou- thern !States, and at thirty went to Europe to 'study the paintings to be seen in the important picture gall- eries. Fifteen years later he return- ed to Canada, equipped, one might infer, to carry out 'his chief ambition in life. Through the good offices of Sir George Simpson, Governor of the 'Hudson's Ray Company, an order was given to the company's numerous brigades of boats to pass Kane through to the Pacific coast and back again. Sir George also gave the artist a commission for a number of pictures and it was through 'his appreciation we scan account for 'Kane'.s pioneer :. achievements, for had it not, been far: the assistance he received it would have been i'mp'ossible for him to ac- complish even a small portion of what 'he actuality did accomplish. For he was, during two and one-half years, a guest of the Hudson's Bay Company. 'Kane's portraits of Indian types, many of which have passed away for- ever, make tip the 'best part of his work. Some ,of them are praise- worthy even as works of art, and most of them are weft composed, 'dignified and convincing. "I Would Have Been Prostrated" "He's over the line for a touchdown!" exclaimed the enthusiastic group of schoolboys as they watched the play of a forward on the home team. • When the dust had cleared it was seen that the player had failed to rise. Two Bell Telephone linemen working nearby saw that something was wrong and hurried to render aid. The boy in his plunge had struck his head on the hard ground and was unconscious. Trained for the emergency the Bell Telephone men sent a boy to call a doctor while they dressedthe ugly scalp wound and cared for the player. Seeing that, the injuries were not serious they told one of the boy's friends to call his mother, tell her that he was not badly hurt and that they would bring him home in a few minutes. t 1 As Mrs. Racket said afterwards "the telephone saved me a dreadful shock. I would have been prostrated but for that timely call."
