Here are the re- sults of our pupils' observations: The first crow was seen by Margaret Boyd on January 15. On February 12th, Joe Murray noticed two horned larks. Six days later Olene, Audrey and Merle Godkin saw several robins in their yard. On February 26th a chipping sparrow came to James Sloan's lawn. Our first bronzed grackle was seen by Robert Regele on March 8th. Next day Gloria Boyd reported the Kildeer. The school robins that have built for the last three years in the woodshed arrived on March 21st, The same day Red "Winged Blackbirds were reported by Harold Jantzi, Pat Sloan and Flor- ence Sloan. Also, that day was the first migration of Canada Geese. The wren our welcome little friend cane this year on March 23. While going across the yard on March 24, Malcolm Bolton saw and captured the first butterfly. Mourning Doves came March 24th, also a flock of Mallard Ducks. Then Barn Swallows were seen the next day by Jimmie Sloan. Bluebirds were noticed by Joy Jantzi. Frogs were first heard on March 26th. Meadow Larks came that day and were seen by Joe and Leon Murray, also a Shrike or Butcher bird which occasionally stays all winter. Then on March 30 Betty Campbell reported the arrival: of a pair of Indigo birds. There are many more varieties to come yet. 9. AUBURN Died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospi- tal, Toronto, on Saturday, April 9th, Margaret Gertrude.

DO NOT CROWD A NEW HEDGE Soil should always ' be carefully prepared for a new hedge by digging out a trench about eighteen inches deep and at least twice as wide as the spread of the roots of the young plants, says R. W. Oliver, Assistant, Ornamental Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. A liberal dressing of well rotted manure should be dug into the bot- tom of this trench and covered with a few inches' of well pulverized sandy or clay . loam top soil. When the plants are put in place more of this good top soil should be put around the roots and firmly tramped down before being watered liberally. The 'plants should be placed in a single row, rather than in a double row with the plants staggered. This latter method uses more plants and more space, is harder to trim into a good shape and always leaves a poor end at a gate or path where any uneveness is noticed. The distance apart at which the plants should be placed will vary with the material used and the height .to which it is desired to have the hedge grow. Erect ,growing shrubs like privet and the true - hedge columnber,'ry used in a low hedge should be placed nine inches to one foot apart. More bushy plants, which make a taller hedge, should be placed about eighteen inches apart. Deciduous hedges should be plant ed in the autumn as the leaves are about to fall, or in the early spring 'before the leaf (buds burst. Ever- ' greens are planted in September or just before new growth starts in the spring.

As part of Wednesday's lesson in agriculture the grade 9B class took off the hatch from an incubator that had been standing for 21 clays in a corner of the class -room. Teacher and pupils were joined by a trayful of newly hatched red and brown chicks. The incubation was carried out in the classroom as part of the practical teaching in agriculture. Pupils clean- ed the small incubator, and stocked it with 14 dozen Rhode Island Red eggs and 2 dozen Red Rock eggs. From time to time during the 21 - day incubation period, the pupils brought out one or two of the eggs and broke them, to examine the cstageshicks, of development of the baby As Easter holidays are so near the chickens will be sold to some of the students who will raise them at .home for showing at the 1949 Fall Fair. One problem inet while carrying out the chick -hatching in the class- room was that of moisture control., In the school room the air was usu- ally too dry for best results, and the amount of moisture could not be con- trolled as in a modern hatchery. A reasonably • good proportion of healthy chicks arrived yesterday, however, ,and the experiment served its purpose as a teaching medium. Recently the hens which had been housed in the hen -house situated east of the school were sold, These hens were obtained in early fall and were under the care of the students of B. These students cared for the hens; fed and kept records of the number of eggs laid and the cost of the feed for these birds. This agricultural project was car- ried on under the helpful guidance of. Mr. L. B. Morrison, head of the• Seaforth High School Agriculture Department. 1' 5 ,la '1 ANNUAL OPEN -HOUSE TO BE HELD APRIL 29TH Friday evening, April :29th is the night of the annual Seaforth High School Open -House. The programme for the evening includes displays, music and demonstrations. The displays which will be shown on that night are Geography, French, Mathematics, Art, History, ancient and modern; Latin, including authen- tic pictures of Roman 'life; Agricul- tural, such as varieties of beans, belt lacing, pulleys and lashings; Shop, wood -working, electrical wiring and draughting; and finally- demonstra- tions by the girls of the school on the prepartation of, and servingof meals, in the Home Economics room as well as demonstrations of wash- ing', honing, sewing and other house- hold duties. In the gymnasium several boys and girls will give gymnastic displays of tumbling and pyramid building. Following this full evening of dem- onstrations there will be a dance in the gymnasium. This dance, with music supplied by the S.H.S. phono amplifier, will be for the students of the school only, as it is the S,H1S. Easter dance which could not be held until the 29th due to several difficul- ties. On Thursday afternoon there will be a monster S.H.S. Softball Tourn- ament which ends up the second terms of school. The tournament -will consist of six games with twelve teams participating in the event. 8 * 9, The bugle band of S.H.S. were al- lowed to go out of the school campus on Monday afternoon for their re- gular Monday drill. We hope we didn't bother the students who were trying to study inside the school for we know that we do raise quite a bit of noise for only twelve students. As the saying goes "Practise makes perfect", and we sure need a lot of practice oto. become perfect and be ready for the inspection day early in May. * * * * Several films were shown to the students by Mr. Brenner, projection- ist for the National Fihn Board, on Friday, The main fihn was the one entitled "The Books Drive On". This film concerns the Huron County Li- brary truck and the work done by the truck. "It showed towns from all points of Huron County including Seaforth, as well as many of the beautiful farms which surround the many towns, villages and hamlets of Huron County. This film was made wibh the abject of letting other .counties know of the great value there is in having 'a truck for their county library. Other fihns included a coloured reel showing a trip from Jasper Park to Banff and was entitled "You'll take the High Road", and lastly a black and . white reel en- titled "Seed Dispersal" which dealt with the many ways in which seeds of different plants are dispersed for reproduction of a new plant. * x 5 Thursday is the final day of school until April 25, as the Easter holi- days commence April 14 at 4. The third and final term will com- mence on the twenty-fifth and con- tinue until somewhere around the middle of June, EASTER DANCE !
