tons of raisins a day. It works. the

the busy ones. The eol'ume of opera-

their natural state as they come from
the vineyards, and processed as need-

state, and can be delivered fresher if
they are only peeked as ordered.
Three Varieties
Three varieties of grapes keep this
big plant busy. They are Muscats,
Thompson seedless and Sultanas.
Grapes are picked and laid on trays
in vineyurdse, where they are dried in
the sun for from 10 days to two weeks
being turned once during the drying.
About 25 pounds of grapes a re
spread on each tray; by the time
they are dried, their weight bas been
reduced to about once -fourth, or six
pounds. When the sun has done. irs
\vote. the trays are stacked) for' a
few days and the drying process con-
tinuer without direct sunlight. Then
the raisins are put in boxes and
brought to the packing plant, Here
alley are dumped into hoppers and
spread on revolving belts which car-
ry teem on ,their journey through the
various processes. For the seedless
variety, it takes about eight minutes
for a raisin to pass through the en-
tire plant; the other varieties take
longer.
'it one point the fruit flows past
on seven narrow belts; at another
it passes in a single broad stream for
each variety, and at every possible
point of r-antage stand vigilant work-

B. Restricted Area. Plan will be fully
discussed with the livestock owners,
as will also the method of testing for
tuberculosis of cattle, compensation
and market value of reactor cattle,
clean-up requirements and method of
taking the canvass
Whether Huron County enters the
"Restricted Area ,Plan" or not depends
entirely on the cattle owners. Two
canvassers will be appointed in each
school section to circulate the peti-
tion far signatures;. If 66 2/3 per cent
of the cattle 'owners votein favor of
the plan, the petitions, after certifica-
tion by the 'Township Clerks, will be
sent in to the Federal Minister of
Agriculture at Ottawa, as the testing
and compensation are under the sup-
ervision of the Federal Health of An-
imals Branch. Cattle shippers to the
U.S.A. markets are reported to be
feeling the incenseenienee of the Am-
erican regulations whereby all cattle,
except for immediate slaughter, mtist
be tested before crossing the lane.
The U.S.A. markets will take cattle
which have been tested under the
"Restricted Area Plan"; therefore, lo-
cal cattle breeders and feeders would
have a wider market for their stock
if tee Area Ilan was adopted in Hur-
on.

Plow Weedy Pastures
This Fall
"There are many old unprofitable
pastures to be seen in the coun'try-
e:de, heavily infested with weeds--
gold•enrod, Canadian thistle, wild car-
rot, etc.," says Dr. • O. McConkey of
the Ontario Agricultural College, and
he continues: "These can be im-
proved 200 to 300 per 'cent. by (1)
fall plowing, (2) Dropping for one or
two years to clean of weeds, .(3) rais-
ing the soil fertility level, (4) seed-
ing to a well balanced pasture mix-
ture of legumes .and grasses.
If you have a weedy pasture of
this kind, plan to plow it this fall
and start the improvement plan es
outlined above, and.it will return you
-many dollars of profit over the pres-
cut low producing pasture.
Old past'hres infested with weeds
Ift•e Canadian thistles, will carrot,
etc.,' are a weed menace to the com-
munity.. Plowing and 'clean cropping,
deed in some Gases summer fallowing,
are the best methods of getting rid
of the weeds and preparing suitable
roil conditions for seeding down to a
profitable pasture mixture.
Mowing pastures should be more
ie;ely practised in Ontario. When
tee new pasture is established and
wec ds begin to show, mow early ev-
ery season when th'e weeds are in
the first stages of bloom. Most weeds

Canadian 'Maples n
the Landscape
While many persons may think of
the maple as one of Canada's national
emblems and a sugar maker, this tree
is only one member .of a large family
of trees and shrubs which fill a wide
range of usefulness in Canadian land-
scape planting, states it, W. Oliver,
Horticultural Division, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture.
Wherever it is hardy, the native
white hard or sugar maple is the best
of trees for 'shade or street planting.
Its well balanced shape, and tough
wooed stand up in rough weather. The
foliage is excellent throughout , the
summer and. a glorious riot of color
in the fall, when its scarlet and gold
may be heightened by the additional
crimson of the swamp red maple.
The hard maple has the drawback
of being a slow grower, and this fault
has ceased too frequent planting of
its wea.ker .cousin the Norway maple.
The latter tree, while growing mor
ea:pidly, and having a fairly pleasing
sfhape, 'has a much shorter life clue to
two bad habits; it has, as'cen'ding
branches which form bad' crotches,
and has a tenedeneey to split with the
frost. Both fault's permit the easy
entry of decay 'fungi which , cause
damage and early death. For: these
reasons the Norway maple .should not
be reoom:mended except where one of
the red or purple leaved varieties,
such as Sehwed1eri or Reitenbachi, is
to be used' as a lawn specimen, wbere
the foliage is most attractive.
The silver or soft maple makes an
attractive shade tree on a large lawn.
At maturity its tall spreading form
rivals the elm. The foliage is light
in color on the underside which gives
the appearance of life in a breeze.
Wier's cut leaved variety ts a useful
tree as a' smaller lawn specimen, as
its weeping habit breaks the monot-
ony of average round headed trees.
The characteristic fall color of the
soft maple is yellow that of Wier's
variety silver grey.
Most of the maples unfortunately
feed' near tee surface of the soil, EO
that they frequently damage lawns
more than trees which, root deeply.
This can usually be overcome by lib-'
era) watering and fertilizing so that
the ground can support both tree and
grass,
The Manitoba maple or box ,elder is
411 the 'hardiest and most rapid grower
of the family. But it should shave no
place in any plan,tin'g scheme in a
section of the country 'where good
trees can be grown. The planter gets
quick results but it is a case of plant
in baste and, repent at leisure,'as this
tree rapidly becomes a weed,
