Don't Burn The Autumn Leaves Every year tons of natural soil nu trients are lost because good citi- zens who don't know better make bonfires of fallen leaves, says Lyn Harrington in the C -I -L- Oval". The Pungent odour of burning' leaves is part of the fall pageant in most parts of Canada. The acrid' aroma awakens memories of child- hood pleasures, and to some, seems the very spirit of autumn. Burning fallen leaves is a favourite project n Suburbia on Saturday afternoons 'n the fall. Nevertheless, it is a highly wasteful procedure. FFor as the fallen leaves go up in oke, there go valuable soil nutri- ent,. In the course of nature, these food ieements would be returned to the Boil to maintain its fertility. But continued gathering and destruction of plant wastes robs the earth and exhausts its fertility. If the natural organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead grasses, vines and rotting wood in the form of humus are not used to enrich the soil, barnyard manure becomes essential. Importan as it is, chemical fertilizer alone cannot re- place Iost organic matter in the soil. That is not its finction. Humus, decomposed organic mat- ter. is a dark brown crumbly mater- ial formed by the action of micro- or•'•anisms upon Plannt and animal residues. It is highly complex -in composition. In fact, it defies chemi- eal analysis, since it varies constant - h' as a result of continual processes of decomposition and of the materi- als involved in it. But chemists know that it is de- finitely important to the soil. A. soil containing plenty of humus is fer- tile and rich—a storehouse of plant • nutrients. It provides better aera- tion. so that plant roots can grow easily through loose crumbly soil. It helps the soil to hold moisture and to absorb greater amounts of heat, and prevents rapid changes in acid - int or alkalinity. In the natural state, humus is ttufaetered constantly by the :dements of decay and growth. But a thick mat of leaves over the lawn smothers out the grass, so that in salter to achieve the greatest benefit Herm the fallen leaves, they must be gathered and composted. Toronto, Ontario, collects more than 8,000 truckloads of leaves from its streets each autumn. .Most . of these are dumped in the ravines. Then don't stay there long. As fast as they are carted there in the Au- f'i"ii. city gardeners and commer= Hal nurserymen hasten to remove them in the spring"in half -rotted con - miter,. They prize the leaf -mould, if th' leaf -burning citizen does not. Taut other trockioads of leaves are .nrmarked for the private citizen. T'pon application, loads of fallen leaves are transferred to the back- yard compost heaps of many Toron- tn homes. Most of the applications specify the type of leaves wanted— nsi'ferably not oak, since these tough Mayes take longer than most to dis- int'nrate• ' But oak leaves can be hastened• into a state of decomposition. (stens! .limestone (not hydrated lime) is commonly added to compost niles that contain coarse plant ma- terial surds as oak leaves or thick- stemmed weeds in healthy condition.

"cloh- l 0AIzs gS 4'1 MMiV ► table refuse such as withered', leaves and flowers, potato tops, bean and pea vines, cabbage leaves and .stalks are converted into humus in this way. Sand, fine cinders or sod im- prove the texture of the pile. Plant materials plus a chemical reagent, plus water are the ingre- dients for artificial humus, or vege- table manure. Decay of roars ma- terials is speeded up by the use of a fertilizer containing nitrogen. The nitrogen compounds most fre- quently used in preparing compost are ammonium sulphate and calcium cyanamide (cyanamid). Ii using am- monium sulphate it is necessary to add about an equal weight of ground limestone. Cyananaid carries enough calcium (lime)' to maintain a slightly alkaline condition. By using such reagents, decompo- sition is hastened, so that the com- post heap started early in the fall is ready for use the following spring. The friable black humus can be dug into the garden just like animal manure—but it has the advantage of being odourless and free from weed seeds. It can be worked in around the shrubs, and into the per- ennial border. The finer parts can be used as a top -dressing for the Lawn, either as it is or chopped up and screened. In the soil this organic Plant food undergoes further decom- pesition through the additional ac- tion of soil micro-organisms which -convert it to a water soluble state available to plants. CLEARY—O'HANLEY St. Mnrzrrr's Roman Ca;ho'ie Church, London, was the scene of a nrett weddingon Satu Fay. Oct. a, It a.nn when Marian Theresa. r .uehter of Mrs. Pearl °"Hanley.

The flower -girl, Constance Eckert, niece of the bride, wore a pink satin frock and carried blue cornflowers. The bridesmaid was the bride's sister, Miss Jean O'Han- ley, Montreal, who wore a floor - length gown of aqua brocade crepe and carried Briarcliff roses. During the signing of the register, Mrs. Leo Fortune sang "Ave Maria." A re- ception was held at the Highland Golf Club with about 60 present. Mrs. Cleary received in a gown, of forest green crepe with a corsage of Ophelia roses. Mrs. O'HanleY wore a black ensemble with a cor- sage of roses.

Large crowds of worshippers thronged the United Church here on the past two Sundays, when the con- gregation celebrated the golden jubi- lee -of their church. The speaker on the first Sunday was Rev. Harold Snell, of Jarnes Street United Church, Exeter, whose early days were spent here. The enthusiasts• in evidence on the first Sunday of the celebration. continued on into the next Sunday, when Rev. A. W. Gardiner, of Eg-! mondville United Church, a former' greatly beloved minister of the Londeshoro Church, spoke in the morning about the value of religion and worship for refining the lives of men and women. In the evening the theme of his address was the import- ance of the family altar in shaping the future and promoting peace among men and nations. All these services were greatly enriched by the special music sup- plied by the choir, and by guest mu- sici an s. The Londesboro United Church, which has recently been redecorated inside ,and out, was built in 1898, at a total cost of $5,500. It is estimated that it would cost ten times that sum today, but most of the work was done free by the members. It was opened for worship on Nov. 24, 1898, free of debt, and has never been handicapped by a mortgage. The minister. at the time of the open - ing was the late Rev. A. E. Andrews. The present pastor is Rev. 8. H. Brenton. In connection with the celebra- tion of the golden jubilee, the church board has caused a history of the church to be printed to commemor- ate the event.
