EN qvc GWar,r R Gordon Smith There are two good times for transplanting evergreens. One is during the next four weeks or so; the other, the per- , � / iod in early Spring CP�I,, 1between the frost rte; leaving the ground Y and the beginning of a new growth. Late summer planting should be followed by regular and thorough watering till the fall rains start. No fertilizer is required at this time. * * If you're considering planting a new hedge, .give a thought 'to the hemlock -which is versatile enough to suit almost any location. While the native hemlock really rates as a tree; it can be kept clipped to al- most any size. Both the Canada and Carolina hemlock are very hardy, and attractive throughout the year. * * * Hemlocks will do well In a wide variety of soil conditions, and al- though fastest growth will be in moist, cool earth, you'll get good results in anything but the barren - est, driest kind of ground. Either spring or fall planting should prove successful; but your new hedge will need plenty of water through the first summer, until the roots be- come well set. Fall -planted hem- lock requires thorough soaking until the ground freezes -and make sure you give hemlocks plenty of space to spread. * * * Many amateur gardeners seem to Answer to Last Week's Puzzle MUMNMEEMEKEIRY AME2A MOTdoy,AARA ASC LQU o R0_:xL R ISE T S T©®L QM©I A „r:TEQIQ 1 E PT S 5 Ct `NO R[� OUTfE5 E s©PI�EELPOTS ©� [ T 1 Ip4AE D O G `'.'

Actually they are just as easy to raise from seed as any annual; but don't forget that they must be start- _ ed the summer before the year you expect them to bloom. * * * Although the seeds may be sown outdoors in a finely prepared seed bed, you'll probably find them using a mixture of one-third soil, easier to start in a bulb pan or flat, one-third sand, and one-third sifted leaf mold or pea; moss. This mixture should be thorough- ly firmed, then the seeds sown, and more of the mixture added so as to make a cover about an eighth of an inch in depth. This is pressed down firmly, well watered, then covered with a piece of glass and newspaper. As soon as the sprouts appear above ground, glass and newspaper are removed. * * * When the seedlings are big enough to handle, transplant them into a flat, leaving about two inches space between. When two inches or so tall, they are ready for moving to rows in any available space, per- haps a vacant corner of the vege- table garden„from where they call be shifted, in the spring, to your perennial border. Or if you prefer, the seedlings may be transferred directly to the place where they are to blossom. * * * Plenty of branches should develop so each plant should have about a foot and a half of space. For winter protection inverted baskets or a little hay around the plant, not over the crown, should be sufficient. But in well -drained gardens there need be little fear of winter loss. * * * Here's a last "tip" about canter - bury bells -although likely you'll not be able to use it till next summe. As soon as each flower begins to blossom you'll fit"td a . new 'bud fade, pinch it off. Just behind each formed, which will produce a second flower -- greatly lengthening the' season of bloom. After canterbury bells have finished flowering pull them out by the roots as they will not bloom a second time.

Cla,rc,e Threshing ... just one word of nine 'letters and yet what action it covers.- Last week we were living with that word and all it implies from Tuesday until Friday night. Not that we were threshing all that time -heaven forbid -anticipation was enough. Each day as it dawn- ed we expected the threshers; each day as it closed the machine still had not arrived. There were two big pans of hamburg !patties ready and waiting; apple sauce was made; pies were baked and extra bread laid in. And still no threshers. Without a refrigerator a lot of good food must have been spoilt. How- ever, about one o'clock on Friday they finally appeared and then things really began to hum. We were stook threshing half our wheat, the other half having been safely stowed away in the barn. Our men had already loaded two wagons be- fore the machine arrived, others were soon out in the field and the men working like Trojans filling them lip. Partner was building loads along with the rest -which didn't make me feel too comfort- able. Johnny was driving a neigh- bour's team; another man was tying bags and Bob ',vas loading them on to his truck as fast as they were filled. And that, believe me, was pretty fast. Of course there were also pitchers out in the field. There wasn't a hitch the whole afternoon. The machine was never running idle at any time, nor did it stop, al- though there was a time or two when it coughed pretty badly. By six -thirty the job was done, and there, on the trucks, was a nice lot of wheat already to be -shipped, the returns from which will help us over another winter and to a start in the spring. * * * Then of course, caste Supper .. . fifteen hot, tired and hungry men, whom we were • very glad to feed in return for the work they had done. I didn't lcnq v how I was going .to seat them all but that little pro -blest solved itself as the pitchers came in ahead of the others so we finished up. by. serving the. supper in relays. After Cicely and I had had a bite to eat our big job of washing dishes began. But as all jobs do it finally came to an end and nine -thirty saw the end of a- yes, I'll finish -it-"the end of a perfect day". Foi• what could be more perfect than to have a good grade of wheat ready for sale- wheat that had never been flattened in the field by storms, nor seriously damaged by rain while standing in the stooks. Yes, it was surely the end of a perfect day and we were truly thankful for a good crop. We still have two more thresh- ings ahead of us -one for the rest of the wheat, the outer for our spring crops, which I suppose will be light. And here's hoping they are both perfect days. * * * But -threshing has not been the only matter of interest this week. Today Johnny, the young lad who has worked for us and has made this his home for over seven years, departed for points unknown. He• and his brother, and another lad, decided to try their luck in the harvest fields out West. We shall miss Johnny but we think it a splendid thing for him to see a bit more of Canada while he still has the chance. And he will probably see plenty as the three boys are go- ing by car -Johnny's car. * * * We got very cheerful letters from our other wanderer -I mean Daugh- ter. She likes Fort William and the people in it and writes inter- esting accounts of the places that she has visited. She has even met someone who comes from the place where Daughter was born -Chaplin on the Saaskatchewan prairie. Na- turally we are wishing she would get home while Cicely is here but the only way she could do it in her "Off" time would be to come by air, and that, I -found upon inquiry, would cost, the small stun of 1721 I think that expression we so often use -"free as the air" -needs a little revision, don't you? Or does it? I suppose the air, is still free; it is travelling through it that hurts the pocket book. * * And that reminds me-Cicely's vacation is just about half over and all too soon she will be taking to the air again. We seemed to have oodles of time at first but now we have, to figure things pretty closely to get in all we want to. Cicely expects to be quite an expert at the milking before she goes home although she says that every time she goes to the barn; Jane -her . long suffering cow -looks around at her with a pained expression as much to say - "What - you here again!" Finding Gold The Hard Way Years ago two American govern- ment geologists, named Schrader and Brooks, returned from a sum- mer spent in Alaska and wrote a bulletin in which they declared that a prehistoric beach existed in the country back of Nome. There, they declared, the gold should be found, rather than on the present Nome beaches which were then re- ceiving the attention of treasure - seeking prospectors. The bulletin was -called "A Pre- liminary Report on the Cape Nome Gold Region, Alaska," and was of- fered free to the public. But no- body paid any attention to it. A few years later carne the great Nonce gold rush - and the gold was found right where Schrader and Brooks had said it was. But it was found the hard way, not from the free booklet they offered. Maybe we should all pay more attention to the free literature which Government Departments provide here in Canada, and for which so comparatively few of us even bother to write.
