EMIGRATION SOCIETY

(Wadi Office): London, Eng.)
Has Lived In Reign
Of Six Sovereigns
STRATHROY.—The best of the
Scotland of a century ago and long
years in the quickly developing Can-
ada with the mellowing influence of
years of wisdom and uprightness,
have all gone into the making of a
truly grand old man, William Wat-
son, of Wisbeach, who was 105 years
young on New Year's Day.
Mr. Watson remembers clearly
when he was a small boy in Fife -
shire, Scotland, and tells with a
chuckle of falling into a puddle the
first time he wore his first pair of
corduroy britches.
For 50 years he was an elder of
the Presbyterian church, and never
missed a communion or Sabbath
day. He bought a special buggy to
take the whole family to church, and
it is still in good condition. He also
served as superintendent of the Sun-
day School.
He has lived during the reign of
six British sot ereigns, William IV be-
ing the first. He has witnessed many
ether. changes, transportation being
one of the most remarkable,
On his birthday each year and at
Christmas he receives many mes-
sages of congratulation and good will
from people far and near, including
the Governor General and Premier
of Canada. This year he received a
cable from South Africa, At Christ-
mas he received 143 cards.
Speeding Up
Assemblyman Emerson D. Fite, an
economist from the faculty of Vas-
sar College, has proposed to go away
beyond Mussolini's more -babies cam-
paign and to offer a general bonus
of $75 for each baby born in the
state. The Assembly having agreed,
the matter is up to the Senate.
Birth' registrations indicate • that-
184,244- babies were born in New
York in 1535, and at $75 each the
.cost would be . slightly over $13,700,-
400. There has been a steady fall in
New York's birth rate, from 21.9 per
1;000 population in 1919 to 13.9 in
1935. 13ut with this encouragement
.doubtless the rate would leap up-
ward. - . .
If the nlealure should happen to go
through, can't you just see a hard-
pressed Governor struggling to pay
'the baby bonus and then calling in
Margaret Sanger? There's the slogan
—"Birth control will balance the bud-

THIINIBTACK YOUR DRAPERIES TOA BOARD
By Ruth. Wyetb Spears
11 i
Almost every home -maker has read at some time or other that if
one wishes overdrapes to have a tailored appearance a valagee•board
must be used. Then there follows a description. of a- complicated
valance board that must be especially made to fit each window and
one immediately becomes discouraged at the thought oe the expense'
and trouble. Yet, the idea of a valance board is a good one and' you
can obtain a very smart and finished effect for your drapes by using
a straight one by two inch board as long asthe width of your window
A small fiframe.
nail in thtop of the
end, and screw �reyesgplaced near the top of thedow backaof the evalaeach
nce
board, will hold the hoard in place as shown here at A. It is very
easy to lift the board off the nails when you wish to dust or shake
the curtains.
In snaking draperies, you will find it a soy to be` able to fasten
the to the valance board before the board is hung up. Plaits and
fullness may be arranged just as you wish with the curtains stretched
out on the table which is certainly easier than climbing up and' down
a ladder to do it.
a
You will need several boxes of tacks to fasten the drapes to the
board. First arrange the side drapes in fiat plaits and tack them to
the ends and across the front of the board as shown here at 13..' Now,
fold the end of the valance clear around to the back of the board' so it
cannot possibly show from the front and tack the valance to the top
of the board as shown here at C. In tacking, the valance should be
stretched just tight enough so that it is perfectly smooth. The
valance shown here is made of glazed chintz and matches the glazed
chintz border that faces the edges of the side drapes. The glass •:
curtains may be hung just inside the window frame or the bottom,,
of the valance board,

Nurs ry Stocks
Proper Handling
By observing .a few simple rules in
the handling of trees and shrubs as
they are received from the nursery,
many losses from newly planted nur-
sery stocks would be avoided.
Nursery stocks are packed so as to
reach the customer in good condition,
and as soon as the box or bundle is
delivered it should be opened. Pack-
ed snugly together as they are, the
plants often overheat. Delay of a day
or two during a farm Spring spell
may cause severe injury Prom this
cause. This is particularly true of
roses and strawberries, 'If because o8
delay in transit or for other reasons
the stock is shriveled, the stock may
be restored to fresaness by soaking

in water for several hours or
night by planting, or by burying Web
roots and tops for a short time.
If the stock can be planted at once;;
so much the better, but 1f it. cannot,
.it can be held in good- condition by–
"
heeling in," that is,. by digging a
'shallow trench in some sheltered spot
and setting • the plants at an angle,
and cover ll& the roots with soil. .A
common method is to throw the dirt
ou the far side when 'digging the
trench, The stock is placed, slantwise
in the trench, with the tops against
the shoulder of fresh dirt. Then the
roots are covered by digging a second
trench parallel to the first, this tine
throwing the dirt ahead on to .lthe
roots. The plants may be left in this
condition for weeks until the ground
is ready to receive thein.
During the planting operations, un-
due exposure of the stock should be
avoided. A piece of burlap or a shov-
elful of earth thrown over the roots
will help materially in reducing the
losses from drying out of the roots.

In the smaller types of easily
grown fidwers are the alyssums.
They are ,white and dainty and use-
ful for edging. These will grow in
partial shade and make excellent
edging plants: Portulaca is also re-
commended. It is a spreading plant
with bright yellow, red and pink
wax -like flpwers. It thrives in dry
soii;and bright sunshine, and requires
little care. In the latter category al-
so come nasturtiums, marigolds, ca-
Iendulas and petunias.
Zinnias
Zinnias, giant, medium or dwarf
size,` offer a range of bloom that the
busy, person cart plant with certain
satisfaction of a big display of bloom
These, except for the tiny affair with
close buttonlike flowers, are large
plants, The'bigger ones will make a
height of 13• inches to two feet or
more. Colors cover a wide range
from dull red, bronze and yellow to
bright red and pinks. The blooms
somewhat resemble the arose. They
grow well in almost any tart of Can-
ada.
eri
Unusual Vegetables
.Experienced gardeners often make
it a rule to try at least one new var-
iety of vegetables every year.
For the "greens" enthusiast, a few
plants of Swiss chard will provide an
abundance of meals. It is worth in-
vestigating as is also broad beans,
which come along about midsummer
and later. l3rocolli, a sort of refin-
ed cauliflower, Keli Rabi, a refined
turnip, and red cabbage and yeIIow
tomatoes will lend interest to the
regular types and provide a slightly
different flavor. In many places egg
plants and peppers can be grown and
will be appreciated. They must be
started early indoors. The red type
of the latter can be produced in a
surprisingly wide area of Canada;
there is also the little individual
Acorn or Table Queen Squash which
is a big improvement over its rather
watery ancestors. Leeks add variety
to the onion family. Tender white
radish lengthens the season for this
vegetable, and some of the extra
early bantam type will do the same
for corns.
