No matter how small the home or limited the area may be, one or two trees or the odd flowering shrub and. a few flowers properly planted will impress upon the traveller or tour ist that someone really lives there who care's. ;Trees and lawns and flowers give enjoyment not only to 'those who live among them, but they fill with pride bhe hearts of each citizen of town, district, county or province in which they may be found, They give a come 10 to visitors and a lasting impres- sion that is worth while.

'Although the 21 Limb or of Field Crop 'Competitions in Ontario will he cur- tailed greatly this year, special classes have been provided by the classes have 'been provided by author- ities. It Se the aim of the Directors to give every Possible encouragement to • 'Agriculture. 'Prizes are substantial as a first for bushel of grain is $1,0.00 and sheaf $3.00 with four prizes in each sec- tion. Moreo'var three divisions have been made of the Province, East, West and North, with three com- plete sets of prizes. The fallowing kinds are covered — Winter Wheat, .Spring Wheat, Oats and Barley, with competition -in both grain and •sheaves. In addition there is a grain class in Field Peas. and (Beans. Th'is section is open to farmers who have won prizes in. Standing, or Combined Field Crop and Clean- ed Seed Competitions, conducted by Agricultural Societies in the years 1929 and 1939 inclusive. The pro- ducts howtver must be from the crops of 1938' or 1933, Rose Culture. T'he simplest method of increasing rotes is by the layering method. Take a branch that may be bent dawn, remove leaves and cover it with soil in spring, or during early- sum- mer. Rooting will take place more readily if the branch is injured by cutting into the wood at the base of a bud under the soil. The Climbers are very easily increased in number by this method. It is well to top dress the lawn at this time with bone meal. Keep lawn properly cut and edges trimmed. IThe shrubs that bloom in spring and early summer should be pruned' after flowering, this permits of vig- orous young growth which flowers the -following year. Thin out the old wood, keeping the plant in good shape. Avoid taking too much wood from any one part of the shrun, simply thin it out on all sides Where shrubs are growing in dry soil it is wise to provide some farm of ground cover, such as rotted leaves or straw. A mulch is also advised for newly planted evergreens. • * * * 5 * * * t 5 * NEWS AND INFORMATION 7 - • FOR THE BUSY FARMER * (Furnished by Ontario Depart- . ment of Agriculture.) * * * * * * * Honey Retards Disease To prevent the false impression .being formed that because bees are subject to disease, some honeys might not be used' Inc food, it is important to draw attention to the fact that what affects bees produces abs'o'lute - no effect an human beings.
