FISHERMEN, CAMPERS SHOULD READ THIS At this season of the year the thoughts of fishermen, campers and others are turning towards the bucolic and sylvan pleasures. of the great ..u1 - doors. Probably nowhere in the world are facilities for such enjoyment bet- ter for the average person than in Canada. Almost literally speaking, however, "there is a fly in the oint- ment"; in fact, too many flies—black- ties and mosquitoes. Those "winged demons of the forest," as one of the early Jesuit Fathers referred' to them occur in 'treat numbers, especially in spring and early summer, in many otherwise attractive locations. Fortunately there are certain sim- ple precautionary measures that may be taken, which will 'do much to miti- gate the discomfort and annoyance caused by these insects. These mea- sures are discussed in a pamphlet, prepared by direction of the Domin- ion ominion Entomologist, ehtitled "Methods of Protection from Mosquitoes. Black Flies and Similar Pests in the For- est," and available on application • to the Publicity and Extension Branch,' Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Transplanting In transplanting anything from a tiny bit of alyssum to a ten year old maple tree, the experts always stress- es the same points, water and stimu- lant. Transplanting is a shock, though not necessarily an unfavorable one where the operation results in more space and freedoms to grow.' Before or 'immediately' after trans- planting mosr flower buds should be pinched off and also unwanted side stems. If e brant+hing plant is desir- ed a few inches should also be nip - pad off the top stem. With shrub- bery and trees, vines and roses it wild be best to shear off some of the top growth, to compensate for the loss of roots which were broken in the original removal. After planting the ground about the tree should be soaked with water 'and kept soaked for a week or so. It is a good plan to add some com- mercial fertilizer dissolved in water and in the case of small things to protect from sun for a day or two. General Hints Once again the beginner is warned against too deep, too early and too close planting of vegetables and' flow- er seeds. Nasturtiums, peas, beans, corn and such large seeds should go in about an inch or so and be planted at Least three or four inches apart... Tiny seedlike..alyssum, pop- py and onion is merely` pressed in- to the soil. Before sowing mix with little sande a to h 1p spread the sow- ing more, evenly. Medium sized Mow,ers.like scabious, salpiglossis, zinnias and phlox require when fully grown, . about 15 inches of room,. while ,taller cosmos, hollyhocks and the bigger nicotine need about two to three feet. In the vegetable line, carrots, beets, head lettuce and spinach can go in rows from 12 inch - Proper camping sites should be chos- en away from marshes, swamps and stagnant pools, preferably where there are no dense woods or underbrush which would serve as a shelter for the insects and break the wind. Fly - proof tents should be used, and one of the popular brands of pyrethrum fly spray and a suitable atomizer should be kept on hand to destroy insects that may find their way into the tents or other quarters, It is al- so advisable to include a fine -mesh bobbinet beadnet in the list of equip- ment, and. old kid gloves, if these are available. Suitable clothes should be worn, bearing in mind that mosqui- toes will bite through one thidkness of ordinary clothing. Various protec- tive mixtures are of great value in warding off attack, when applied to exposed parts of the skin- The follow- ing formulae have been `used with satisfaction by many persons: (1) Oil of citronella, 3 ounces; spirits of campbor, 1 ounce; oil of tar, 1 ounce; oil of pennyroyal, 1/4 ounce; and cas- tor oil, 5 ounces. (2) 011 of citron- ella, 2 ounces; castor oil, 2 ounces; oil of pennroyal, 1/4 ounce, (3) Oil of lavender, 1 ounce; alcah•ol, 1 ounce; castor oil, 1 ounce. (4) Concentrat- ed pyrethrum extract, 1 ounce; oii of thyme, 1 ounce; castor oil, 2 ounces. Among the remedies for relieving insect bites, household ammonia, tinc- ture of iodine, borated vaseline, glyc- erine, and alcohol are widely used. In many cases, irritation passes a- way wben ordinary toilet soap is moistened and gently rubbed over the puncture, "... . BE ON GUARD- AGAINST DANGEROUS GERMS IN YOUR .WASH," Say9 MRS.. •F.

Window Boxes • A brown or green stained 'window box overflowing with gaily blooming flowers is within the range of almost every person. Lack of ground space does not matter.. Even the Lofty apartment dweller is able to satisfy a 'gardening ambition. Success is easily obtained provided two or three points are kept in -rind- This sort of gardening is highly intensive with many more plants to the square foot than would be grown under ordinary conditions. This meansthat very ride sail should be used, and in addi- tion a fairly frequent application of chemical fertilizer during the season. Being exposed on all *dee to drying winds, a thorough, •watering once a day of the window box is advised. The box should be as long as the window and. should be arranged so that the •top- of it is almost flush with the window sill. If higher, the foliage of the plants will soon fill up most of the window. There must be boles in the bottom to provide drain- age, and also a layer of gravel, cin- ders, broken crockery or similar ma- terial for the.,same purpose. The box, which should be at least eight inches deep , and from eight to tea' inches wide at the top, should be filled- to—within. half, an. igch of the top with very rich soil. Along the front trailing Nastur- tiums, German Ivy, Lobelia, Alyssum and similar plants are put in, with Petunias, Ageratums, Begonias, Ferns, Geraniums and other -Planta especial- ly recommended for this purpose far- ther back. Shelter from the sun for a day of two should be provided un- til the plants get established. Kitchen Gardens In the kitchen garden it is advis- able of course .to keep a plentiful supply of salad material like leaf and head lettuce, onions and possibly celery. The latter is set out in the garden as well as started plants, us- ually after all danger of frost is ov- er For fall storage, planting takes place in• Julie or even July.

PRINCESS FLAKES ACTUALLY -GIVES' YOUR HANDS A BEAUTY TREATMENT Crop Condition Summary Reports are now available from 'a large number of regular correspond- ents giving an outline of farm condi- tions at the beginning sof May. Me weather during April was favorable for spring cultivation, and seeding. As a result, at the end of April almost 50 per cent. of the intended acreage of spring grains bad been seeded' in the province. In the more southerly counties of course, ,the work was much more advanced than in Eastern and Northern Ontario where opera- tions only got under way the first of Map, In Southern Ontario thonlrpris- in,g the two rows of counties border- ing Lake Erie, 85 per cent. of the spring grain seeding was reported fin. ished by April 30th. At this same date about .60 per cent. of the seed- ing was completed in Western On- tario, approximately 4o per cent. in Central Ontario, but only 8 per cent in Eastern Ontario and 2 per cent. in Northern Ontario. Work this season is from two to three weeks earlier than in the two previous years. In 1937 at the end of April for the en- tire province, only about 4 per cent. of the spring grain seeding was com- pleted, and in 1936 about 8 per cent. Moistureand soil conditions have been good to excellent in all sections of the province and spring grains have germinated well, with many fields in Western Ontario showing green and growing' rapidly. Crap pro- spects generally may be considered extremely favourable. Winter killing of fall wheat was comparatively slight and averaged only 9 per cent. for the entire province. The acreage of fall wheat remaining for harvest- ing this year is estimated at 616,700 acres which Compared with: t718,800 acres in 1937, and 509,300 acres in 1938. Old alfalfa stands suffered ra- ther extensive winter killing, particu- larly in- Eastern and Central Ontario, but other hay and clovers came through the winter in good shape. All over -winter crops are respond'iaitg to the almost ideal moisture situation and making satisfactory growth. The acreage sown to wring grains will be just slightly smaller this year than in 1937. ''he intended acreage of spring Wheat is estimated at 89,- 600 acres as compared with 94,200 acres last year, a decline of 4,600 ac- res; oats, 2,253,000 acres compared! with 2,263,900 acres; barley, 526,000 acres compared with 555,900 acres last year. Mixed grains is placed' at 883,900 acres, down 6,200 acres. In case of potatoes the low price is ex- pected to disceu•rage planting and farmers estimate the acreage will show a decline of 5.3 per cent. In 1937 the acreage of potatoes was 150,- 600 and the indicated, acreage this spring is 142,600. We Are Featuring Colgate-Palmolive Soaps SEAFORTH, Ontario J. M. Cardno J. J.

Livestock Breeding Straw is the bedding Materia'I for livestock almost universally used on the farm fin Canada. It will absorb two to three times its weight of liq- uid. Peat mows used as bedding will absorb about ten times its weight of liquid. Other suitable kinds of bed- ding for livestock are sawdust and air-dried muck and peat. Preventing Farm Fires It is well known that lin Canada every year los'ses due to farm fires amount to ani enormous sum, yet in many casette the damage to a certain extent might eve been minimized or prevented by simple precautionary TetafFUTeS,On- e precaution Is not to put wet or uncured hay in barns, nor to put dry bay in barns that have leaky roofs, It is also risky to smoke in or around these buildings. WItb re- gard to electric equiptnent, it is - dan- gerous to use fuses of too great am- perage and no article should be used in place of a fuse. Care should be taken to see that • lightning rads re- main properly grounded, and defec- tive electrical .• wiring ,should be re- paired' ppurfiletly. The 6e of kerosene or gasoline to hurdle fires or quicken a slow fire tae, been responsible not only for many fires but also for many deaths on farms and just because there has never been a fire on the farm, it is dangerous, to neglect precautions un- der the belief that the buildings will never take fire. Insurance gives' an unwarranted cense ,of security but in- surance cannot give compensation for,:, all the financial losses' and at, cannot'. replace loss of life. Extreme care should always be taken in handling and using gasoline. The gasoline con- 1 tainers should be tightly closed, painted a bright red, and labelled "gasoline." Chimneys are one of the most com- mon causes- of farm house fires, so that periodically the chimneys should be examined, tested 'for cracks, and cleaned regularly- A good chemical fire extinguisher, or a pail kept it readiness for the purpose where the water supply is bandy, is a ready pre- caution toput out small fires before they get beyond control.

"Mr„ McFarlane spoke briefly on the work of the government and touched principally on relief matters, "Mr, McLean, in a five -Minute ad- drese, spalre on the tremendous amount of work which the ministers of the ,government were canfroanted with at 'such tunes as these.

Mr. McLean stated that in spite of de- pressed eondtifioas the revenue of the I)om.inion had risen some 62 million dollars during the past year. "Mr. Dorrance, M.L.A., spoke 'far half an hour and gave a resume of - the past four years of the' govern- ment's administration- - "During the poor crop years in the south Mr. Dorrance stated that 7,000 families Thad been moved north and that x000 of the number had been lo- cated in Tisdale constitueney, This in itself bad been and was astlli a vast 'undertaking, for many had to be re-established on farms and provided for, for the time being.

Taggart, Minister of Agri- culture, stated that he was more than pleased to be present on this evening. It was the 'first opportunity he b'ad had of speaking to a Tisdale audi- ence. He spoke of the present mem- bers of the Legislature, Mr. MacFar- lane and me Dorrance, and gave them credit for =oh efficient work carried on in their constituencies.

"The speaker dealt for soma time ma the enormous' .las$ of prdviding seers and feed for the farimem of the. province. Figures as to amount an* cost were quoted, which was almost unbelievable. the education tax was touched upon, and it was only after very careful consideration, that this tax was levied in order to provide ad- ditional revenue for school _purposes. "Mr. Taggart for some time talked on the public debt and: attributed Its increase solely to relief in providing which the Government had passed through the most trying time of its existence.

Grain -Feed the Lamb If rapid gains are wanted in lambs it is generally found that milk or pas- ture which are the mainstays in the feeding line are not enough, but, that before and after going an pasture box feeding in a creep is an advantage. Oats, bran, corn, oil cake, molasses all may be used as lamb feed, and it is surprising the amount .that a 'buneb of lambs will take. With early lambs it is particularly impartanrt that they be marketed in time to catch the top pr;ees, and even with Iambs that are retried -through to the fall it is more Ser• -mica} to hold the' la.M flesh by a !stile ewtra, grain thaa., to put, on the flesh in the fall.
