Care Of The Strawberry Plantation After Fruiting Whatto do with a strawberry plantation after it has over fruited is a question frequently asked. It is not possible to answer this question in any rule of thumb way; a great deal depends upon the con- dition of the plantation. If the plant- ation is full of , weeds, like couch grass,- or if it is very patchy it is better to plough it up; If, on the other hand, it is a well vined plant. ation, reasonably free of weeds; - it may pay to practise `renovation. Renovation is accomplished in dif- ferent ways but it should be retnemb- Bred that the strawberry plant is not really a true perennial and mast be permitted AO renew itself by the ,for - By Betty Webster Everyone knows from marriage lig cense bureau .statistics that there are brides in each mouth of the year. But, somehow, June seems to have a port of monopoly on them- in song and story anyway. And, when there are no brides there must be showers and other sorts of parties galore. Sometimes it is hard for the har-- riedi hostess to think of enough „clev- er entertainments to 'round, Not long ago, I attended a shower for a bride-to-be which the hostess called a "Balloon party." It was very amusing—so I know you'd like to hear about it: Instead of flowers, the room was decorated with vases filled with bal- loons -- al-Loons--- and a cute little balloon man was painted on the tally cards which were given .,to the guests as they arrived. Bridge was played on tables covered with black oilcloth on which were . stenciled clusters of bal- loons, Bach table : was supplied with a dish filled with round candies to carry out the balloon idea. Balloons Attached to Gifts Before refreshments were served, the hostess removed all the tables but on which was placed in front of the guest of honor, Then the gifts were carried in and to each package had been tied a gas-filled balloon which floated to the ceiling as Each bundle was opened. It was most effective. The refreshments consisted of ice cream molded in balls, round cakes daintily iced and vari-colored patties. Filberts, shelled and salted were pass- ed and iced lemonade was served in tall colored glasses. The first and second prizes for the bridge games were a round -bottle filled with bath crystals (Druggists have them in all 1 colors and fragranc- es) and two circular handkerchiefs. This was one of the loveliest par- ties I ever attended and the idea can be' worked onrt ccessfttl]y by dtsr one.

If the old plantation is left without attention the plants are liable to be so crowded that such renewal will be difficult. It is generally advis- able therefore to cutdown the rows to a narrow width and in doing this the best way is to split the row in the centre leaving one outside edge to form new runners. The outside ledges cpntain the youngest plants and these generally form new runners. very. rapidly. This renovating should be done as soon as' the crop has been removed. After splitting the rows in two, remove the plants ` that have been ploughed up and cultivate be- tween the ,rows thoroughly, • hand weed the narrow strip of plants that are left and unless the'land is in ex- cellent tilth apply a dressing of about fifty, pounds of nitrate of soda per acre between the rows.

ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS MOTOR VEHICLES BRANCH E1\ LETTER to the 13,060 motorists who killed or injured 8,733 men, women and children on the highways of Ontario last year If you are one of those who know the rules of safe driving and obey them, thank you; this message is not for you. If you are a driver who has helped to swell the total of deaths and injuries to the disgraceful figure shown above, take full note! Because of your selfishness, your wilful neglect or thoughtlessness, or perhaps because you think you know better than anyone else how to drive a car and insist upon making your own rules, the lives of 502 citizens of Ontario were snuffed out in twelve months time. During the same period 8,231 were injured, scarred; some of these will never walk again. Among your victims' were 853 children playing in the street! gP Y g Do you think this kind of driving is worth while? Doyou think you are entitled to a license to drive.? If one of these victims had been your child, your brother, sister, father, mother, or even a friend, would you accept the excuse that the offender's brakes failed, that the pavement was slippery, that he failed to give a proper signal, or just took some kind of a chance or another? Could you find any excuse for him? Driving a car brings more pleasure and convenience to more people than perhaps any other modern utility. The highways de- partment knows this. No Province has been more thoughtful and generous in seeking to add to this pleasure and convenience. But you, the unsafe driver, are nullifying the effect of all that has been. done. You are making every street and highway unsafe for both pedestrians and other drivers. You are a menace to the aged, the infirm and to little children. To educate you in the rules, to appeal to your sense of fair play, to show you how your recklessness imperils your own life and property, as well as that of others, this department has gone to great lengths. The press, the schools, the radio—all have been utilized in an effort to curb unsafe driving—and the campaign is being continued this year. What are you going to do about it? Remember you are responsible only for your own acts. If the other fellow takes chances, let him. Y now that the heavy driving season is at hand, will do some But if you, fair common sense thinking, if you will let your sense of fain, play govern your drivingthis season, if never forget that bydrivingsafely.. you. you can help to protect the life and property of every' citizen of Ontario, then this de artment will have a different happier story s Pp to tell a year hence.
