Rushing Not Necessary
llortunatelly in Canada We have
tong tows of sunlight in spring and
sugnmer. Because we are se blessed,
end the further north we live the
more daylight we get at this season
of ,time year, it really does net mat-
ter it our garden goes in late. Once
growth really starts it quickly over-
comes any delayed start: Beginners

•
in 'this rioreation of gardening 'are
advised tohave patience. There is
no need ' for rushing; in fact there
are very good reasons against such
a course. ..�
Real growth with, most ;flowers•
and vegetables does not' get under
way until the weather and soil begin
to warm. There are some eecep-
tiens of course. Lettuce, spinach,
peas, both sweet and garden, nurs-
ery 'stock, such as shrubbery, fruit
trees, etc., all these cool /weather
things should .. be planted just as
soon as the soil can be worked safe-
ly, and safely in . this case means
when it will crumble, not pack into.
a ball and is no longer muddy. To
dig it before this stage is reached is
dangerous •ansd• useless.
For the medium hardy type of
Borrowing to keep your farm in, good
working condition shoilld be profitable; it
is a constructive use of credit.

farmers in this district and he will welcome
applications for loans ,having a' constructive

Make Threeg Sowings
Gardener are agrised to divide
„their seed into- at least three parts,
sowing a third as 'soon as. weather
permits, a third a little later, and the
balance at the very tail -end ,,of the
planting season. In this way if frost
does cut down the first batch there
will be more plants, coming on and
the season will he lengthetned by the
last part of the garden sown. •
Reference Books
Seed catalogues put out by the
large •firms contain.. much more than
a mere mention of the many flowed
and vegetables available and recom-
mended in Canada. They specify
important points such as time of
planting, resistance or lack of re-
sistance to feast, height, color, sea-
son of blooming, whether scented,
and also the suitability of the flower
for cutting purposes. All of these
paints should be taken into consider-
ation in planning a real garden, auth-
orities state, as, only with such know-
ledge can a comprehensive and prat -
teal scheme be •worked out.
Lawn Hints
Semetimmes tree roots work up to-
wards the surface of -the lawn simp-
ly because there 'Is water there and
none beneath. Heavy `watering of
lawns once a week rather than light
daily sprinkles will prevent •this dan-
ger and will also be best for the
lawn itself.
Frequent watering plea regular ap-
plications of good lawn fertilizer, will
keep, grass, a rich dark green and
growing fast enough to crowd out the
weeds. Patches• of the latter in old
lawns are usually a sure sign that
'soil is wearing Mit and'needs fertifiz=
inrg. In" hot weather grass should not
be cut as short nor as often as in
the spring and fall T., .
For Permanence
Perennial flowers add 'a feeling of
permanence to any ',gard'en. •Com
mon year after year they maintain
interest throughout the dormant
months and because of their quick
start they usually bloom ahead of an-
nuals.; While solid perennial beds
are very popular, 'another eatisfac-
toyi plan is to have a few of these
plants scattered about the garden for
early bloom and to fill in between the
annuals.
Selection will depend upon what
part of Canada the reader lives.
Throughout Most of the 'country;
however; the following brief list will
prove .reaepnably hardy: Delphin-
iune Peony, Oriental Poppy, Phlox,
Enmglissh'^P,i-imrose, English Daisy and
Violas.

tion Order, 1940, has been enacted by Order -in -Council under the authority,
of the War Measures Act.
Unless exempted by the Order, every resident. of Canada who, on May
1st, 1940, has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control,
whether in Canada or outside Canada, is required forthwith to sell such
foreign currency to an Authorized Dealer (i.e. a branchof a chartered
bank) for payment in Canadian dollars at the official buying rate of the
Foreign Exchange Control Board.

Arthur Gibson, ])ominion Entomolo-
gist, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture._.,
The housefly can lay , large numbers
of eggs, probably averaging one
thousand, which hatch in a few hours.
Develbp'nient•'•is rapid amid in warm
weather a new generation of flies
mai be produced every ten or twelve
days. It will thus be seen that it' is
of the utmost importance to kill
houseflies early in the season.
One of the chief, dangers from flies
lies in their varied food habits. Not
only do they feed on all kinds of
filth, but will alight, on most of the.
-foods laid out on the table for a
'meal, contaminating everything they
touch
To, control this dangerous pest, fly
traps, door and window screens, fly
swatters, sticky papers, poisoned
baits and fly sprays are used. An ef-
fective and safe bait is made by add-
ing a , teaspoonful of formalin to a
Pint of water or d lute milk in a --eau-
cer. It sthould be placed out 'of reach
of children .Fly sprays made of •/.
pounds' of flowers of pyrethrum' to a
gallon t kerosene are effective.
'The best control of houseflies is
by eliminating their breeding places.
The most important of these are
manna' piles and 'garbage dumps.
Manure storage should be so COD,
sirueted as to discourage breeding
and the pile treated 'with borax solu-
tion- Garbage should be stored in
fly -proof containers until, disposed of.
Community action is essential if the
fly population in any district is to be
sharply reduced.
Treat Seed Potatoes,
There are some surface -borne pota-
diseases which if carriedi on the
tubers and not destroyed will lower
the yield; quality and selling price of
the crop• The most common of these
diseases are Whizootonia, Common
Scab and Blackleg, says J. T. Casein,
potato ,fieddana,n of the Ontario. De-
partment of Agriculture, Toronto.
Rhizoctonia or Black Scurf on seed
potatoes is responsible for many
missing iltill's and a much thigher per..
.centage of small potatoes which very
grea.;l"ip,.ge the yield. This dis-
ease is often referred •to as "Small
Potato^ and "All tops and no pota-
toes." The infestation is carried on
the 'tubers in the form of brown or
black specks known - as sclerotia
which adhere firmly to the tubers'.
The fungi --are carried ^through the
winter in the siclerot/a. They' are
conveyed to the 'soil on •tare seed
pieces and become active and 'at'tack
'the roots, stolon and main stem of
the •plants. They may " attack the
young sprouts and retard their
growth and in some cases complete-
ly cut off the new srprc uts. Succes-
sively dev>elsoped.sprouts may be at;

the leaves to the. tubers,.resulti,ng in
the setting of many small unmarket-
able• ' ppotatoes and a few deformed
larges- ones.
Potatoes infected with Rhieectonia
that are otherwise free from disease
may be rendered suitable for seed by
properly treating before cutting into -
sets. There are three different metth-
ods'pf treating that are giving good
results in coota'blling these surface -
borne diseases. They are:
Corrosive Sublimate Treatment-:
T:horokighly diissoive, using 'hot water,
4 ounces of corrbs'ive sublimate and

Britain.
• "The Marketing Service, Dominion
Department bf Agriculture, and the
Canadian Bacon Board request that
housewives and all food purveyors
should feature on their tables and
menses bacon and pork to support far-
mers in their war effort."
With regard to the quality of bacon
exported from Canada,, the value of
Oanadian bacon has always been es-
tablished by the price for A Grade,
No. 1 selection, sizeable weight, and
the Bacon Board has continued this
practice. The Agreement with the
United Kingdom sets out:
"Grading certificates of the Cana-
dian Government will be accepted as
evidence of quality, it being under-
stood that pre-war standard of qual-
ity will be maintained,,"
it is evident from this that the
British Food Ministry. considered our
pre-war standards assured good qual-
ity.
Conditions from the first of April
are set out in. Bacon Board Bulletin
No. 4 ,released to • the press and. the
public, on April 24th, from which the
following is quoted:
"With rumours of a March offensive
in Europe and a probable change in
United Kingdom requirements' a cour-
ageous view was justified -ami' the
Board 'continued to support the price
level of togs by continuing storage.
Finally, March passed with no change
in the European situation, New ad-
vi•4es from the British Ministry and
from Canadian representatives. over-
seas. were to the effect that we could
not expect to ship any quantity over
the ma•ninlsulram of 50,000 long cwt. per
week during the life of the contract.
Our total storage Position was then
27,273,502 pounds, the equivalent of
229,000 hogs. The • best estimates
available on hog marketings from
'April, 1st to the expiration of the
agreement indicated' 2,600,000 'bogs.
The situation, therefore, looked as if
we already had more in store than
could he 'handled. Packers were ner-
vous about the outlook and this WAS
reflected in .a break in hog prices dur-
ing the first week in " April. There
dad not appear to be any way out of
the difficulty except 'to stoop storing
for export and' distribute' more 'hog
products into the domestic market.
This would,'hmave meant a price below
the export levels which had obtained
all winter, but just what that price
would have been was never determ-
ined. Developments overseas_ report-
ed during, the week of the invasion
of Denmark and 'Norway inspired fur-
ther confidence as regards export out..
let. On April 10th the Board i,nstapuct:
ed' packer's tao 'resume storage to their.
account. Hog' prices closed on April
11th in close conformity with. previous
export levels.
Reasons for No Immediate Export
Increase:
"At the sante time::the Board insti-
tuted specific enquiries as to Britain's
future requirements and for a mom-
ent received eneaunaageument. How-
ever, further advices were specifical-
ly in the negative as to prospects for
increasing experts. There -was, there-
fore, nothing else to do but to ac-
quaint prod'tcers and the public gen-
erally with the facts. The 'Board„ on
April 17th, issued a statement in.
which it set forth the reasons given
by the British Ministry •whi -•greater
should be exercised in , baying the
proper proportion. ' If the solution is
too -strong, germination may be de-
stroyed.
' Corrosive sublimate is a deadly
'poiso'n and should be kept Away from
children and live stock. Treated pot-
atoes should not be used for food.
Semmesan Bell Treatment.. -Mix one
pound to seven and one-half gallons
of water. Completely immerse the
tubers unbagged and spreadi to dry -
This treatment is recommended for
the control of Rhizoctonia, Camtlfon,
and Bowdsery Scab. •
Treatment of 'seed potatoes may be
done any" timma but preferably before
sprouting has begun. Old potato bags
that may have contained diseased pot-
atoes sshsou]d not be used to hold seed'
unless the bags (have been well dist.
infected, Mr. Casein states.
Car Accidents

"During ti* period when import

large .thetle was a ' heavy total con
Pitilon elf mut noxa the domiestic
market, partly of J>o r priced United
States, and 'partly of higher priced
Canadian product. The average price
of domestic supplies was below the
cost of Canadian thugs," but the mar
gin over cost of the whole allowed
the payment of export values for the
limited number of Oam+'4,tan hogs put
into darnestic consumption.
"Now, however. iii aa necessary to

siderable extent t on the volume of
hog, marketing,_ The period of in-
cm'eaging seasonal consumption of
pork 'prnducts is approaching. For a
timid domestic consumption may have
to be developed by means of price
concessions but demand may soon
meet supply.,
'ryNoriiallym with an unrestricted ex-
port outlet export values establish
hog prices.. But there have often

first conation and the seasons of
1938-39 the latter.

'cations involved in this situatio Un-
til domestic values are more clearly
defined it is evident that a cautious
attitude is wise and necessary. The
first responsibility of the Board is to
see that the producer gets all that is
possible for hiss hogs:
"The uncertainties in the bacon sup..
ply situation are an inevitable part
of the present conditions of the war.
To say at this time to hog producers
that everything is rosy would be
folly.' Neverths it appears quite
plain 'that undue pessimism is equal-
