At first this may seem far too open, but the space may be taken tip with Annual flowers, in the case of a peren- nial bed, and with temaorary. quick - growing shrubbery and trees, with the others. In fact, many gardeners now use permanently a mixture of annual plants in their perennial bpiders. In, the case of tree.s, it is, a well-estab- lished fact that nature uses the quick- gro•wing poplar as a sort of nurse crop for pines. First comes the pop- lar, killing out weeds and grass, and; providin.g ideal surroundings for the slower growling, shade -loving pine. * Sweet Peas As the sweet- pea develops exten- sive root growth and upper vine StrUC- tare eaten the weather is ttoels it nitet be pleated jaet aa soon as the Soil is ftt to '0,4ariii„' Planting directione are entiple but, imporeant, Suesceonallit gareleae.ne -.advise a tretkekt, 4ikt4; at - least. a foot deep. filled within two inches of the top with Licit soil, mix- ed with well -rotted ntoeure or old leaves.

There is scant danger of this, however, and biggest crops in- variably- come from early planting, and col). we weather.

In this Parliament th.e War Appropriation SUL with no leolatienists to contend with at all, has taken nearly half the time and it is still the subject of dis- cuesion. However, there should be vary little complaint about this. If :t -is the purpose of the opposition to cheek carefully all expenditures of money already spent, and it is evideat that while there may be a disposition to play politics and search for a bit of scandal, nevertheless it is a healthy sin to see the opposition applying themselves to the task of making careful enquiries regarding what has been spent and what is to be sPeat. able to make at least three sowings a week or two apart in order to spread the harvest that much longer over the season. With peas this spreading out is secured by sowing three kinds, an early, a medium and a late variety, which will result in a continuous supply of garden peas for the table from mid-June until late July. Proper thiniaing, ferquent cultiva- tion and an occasional application of some good commercial fertilizer will keep vegetables growing quickly and quick growing makes for tenderness. NET'.

The reply of Col. Ralston was very effective; In fact it could be termed devastating. The Minister with files on his desk dealt with the charges made by Mr. Reason_ The leader of the opposition has expressed great ad- miration for Mr. McMillan,„ the timber controller, aiso a Mr. McCabe and Col. Ralston, showed •that the matters referred' to were completely in the hands of these two gentlemen. Ac- cording to figures given, only 1 per cent, of 26,000,000 feet of lumber pur- chased for this 'place was. purchased from the so-called Insurance Agent, and he bad quoted the lowest price on this material. It was revealed that the timber purchased was much lower in price- than that quoted by lumber dealers With whom the leader of the opposition was formerly associated u-ith. From this discussion the Min- ister turned to the training -scheme and -gave quite an interesting review of what had been done and what is now to be done. He claimed that about 25 per cent. of those who had taken -the training had eventually signed up for active service. Mr. Powers, Minister of A•ir, gave a complete survey of the air training plan and he frankly adtmitted that rnistakes have been made, but he. felt the essential thing now was to do things and el --6 them as quickly as pos- sible, and they could argue about the mistakes after Hitler is beaten. * * * Tuesday, Marc,h 18 One of the large industries for wet. purposes, built' for the British Gov ernment by the Allied' War Supply Corporation, is located near Winni- Peg. The corporation is .head by Hon. C. A. Dunning. It is, intended for the plant to make cordite. The capital cost is nine million. All afternoon Was taken up in a discussion of the fuel to be used in this plant. The question was, "Should the plant use Alberta coal or lignite, which is in Saskatchenwan." 'The Alberta - coal means a haul of 350 miles. while the Saskatchewan lignite would ,only be 290 miles. The lignite is much cheaper, but the •heating units is far less in the lignite. It also mans that special equipment has to be' used to handle the lignite. Mr. Maybaalt, a young lawyer from Winnipeg, has taken three hours to put his ideas before .the committee, not all at once, of course, but from time to time as the opportunity pres- ented itself. Today be continued on and on. When his 40 minutes were up he was only about half through. Someone else spoke and then he con- tinued. This can he done in commit- tee. He presented his case very well but with too much repetition. Mr, M.aybank w -as convinced that those making the decision to use the Alber- ta coal were partial to the equipment used for Ibandling the Alberta coal, and that. was the reason, that they would not consider putting in equip- ment to• handle the lignite coal. Hon. Ma Howe chided the member for tak- ing three hours' of the time of the House to sell lignite coal.. He resent- ed the attack on Hon. Mr. Dunning and Mr. Ceabtree, who, were giving their time with no remuneration at all and who, he claimed, were interested only in securing- the most efficiency in this plant Which is to be establish- ed. Another -feature of the day was the discussion on. 'shipbuilding. Mr. Howe complimented the companies on the effort they are putting- forth to speed up production. " He said cargo ,ehips are being -built on the two coasts and en the St. Lawrence. Hon. Angus MacDonald also spoke regarding the building of ships .and gavesiVin Han- son useful information regarding eon - tract e let on the Maritime -coasts. 'Evi- dently there has been considerable complaint about this, but Mr. 'Mac- Donald•showed that it many cases the companies down East had, :failed, to put in tenders for contracts.. The statement made by the Minister of Navy cleared up a good deal. of gos- sip that had been floating around. Today in the,railway room -we beard a very excellent talk from Senator Pepper, the gentlensan who, took a leading part in, the Leage-Lend Bill.

At the opening of the sitting today the Prime Minister announced that the Province of Ontario, the TJ.S. re- presentatives, and the Priine Minister and ilon. Mr. Howe be,d. MOtsedan outstanding, historic docuinent giving authority to proceed with the $t. Isaletenee Waterenty 4chetne. ...• SWEET CAPORAL' "THE PUREST F0.4 WOICH .TOSACCO c414, 4 S QUO." There is no doubt that this scheme will greatly benefit MOAT seetious of our Province; on the other band it will seriefasly affect other sections. it is a tremendous undertaking and' the details will be submitted to. the House on Friday. When the Prime Minister was mak- ing his statement today, the. U.S. re- presentatives were in the gallery fol- lowing very closely every word that was said, noting also the reaction of the, members to the announcement The estimated cost is 266 milfion. The net cost to the Dominion, will be some 37 million, while the cost to Ontario will be around! 67 However, there is no doubt that these costs will be exceeded by teeny mils lions .of dollars. The United States has a war mea- sure that is clearly put forward by the President. I presume that the Province of Ontario and this Govern- ment will . also make similar claims. It is an undertaking that should be left for the time being unless it can be justified as a direct assistance to our war effort. It is not many years back that the Premier of our own Province was de- nopmeing King and Roosevelt for what the termed their squeeze 'plea, 'intimat- ing that they were forcing this Prov- ince into something that they did not want to have anything to do with, but it is quite another story now, which all indicates how careful public offic- ials should be in their approach and their attitude to great public diet - dons, but we will hear more of this on Friday. ' The 'War Appropriation Bill is mak- ing slow .progress; it is not yet out of the resolution stage. The only new feature of the debate was the one raised in regard to ladies doing much of the clerical work connection with military caraps, etc. • This was not acceptalble to army officers ac- cording to opinions expressed. * * * Thursday, March 20 - Parliarnent tonight moved a step closer to adoption of thealargest sin- gle„money- bill in the Dominion'e his- tory when Finance Minister llsley's resolution for a $1,300,000,000 war ap- propriation measure was adopted Without a vote. This reeoltithen has been, debated almost continuously since it was introduced on February 18th. Mr. Ilsley at 'Mee introduced the appropriation bill and it was given first reading., There may be further debate onthe second reading, but it is not likely. The bill will go to the Senate which reserves its sitting next Tuesday. Several members voiced their im- patience at the time that has been taken on this measure, reminding the House that the seven billion dollar bill of President Roosevelt's went through in, a few days once the rprin- ciple of the measure had passed the Senate and Congress. , When the wheat legislation comes before the House there will be a live- ly debate; divergent, views, partially sectional ' of character,' are likely to be displayed, This wheat problem is a most serious one this year; an effost is being made to take some 9,000,000 acres out of wheat. The propoSat is te, summer fallaw a large portion of it for which the Government will pay $4.00 per acre. It is estimated that it will cost from two to three dollars per acre to do this; therefore, the farmer will have to get by on from one to two dollars per aere. If' this land is seeded to grass he will get $2 per acre; if it is seeded to melee, grain he will also get $2 per acre. • There is definite opposition to what is called bonusing of coarse grain, but the contention is that coarse grain will, in many places', have to be sown to keep the soil from blow- ing and in this way the grass seed will be given a chance. Many On, tario m/embers are opposed to this scheme, but they have not many sug- gestions as' to what the Western far- mer is going to do to make a living. It -is a war -time measure, as. agrieul- tuft is suffering as a result of circum- stances beyond our control, Another thing-hae arisen that may affect our whole economy. In the Lend -Lease Bill huge amounts ate ear -marked for food for Britain. Should the U.S. undertake to give Britain wheat and meat products, it would tuither limit the Canadian ex- port market. The whole problem is pausing a good deal of anxiety, but we caw on- ly do our best under the serious. con- ditions that now exist. - * * Friday, March 21 In the House today the sitting was featured by three events. The first was the reference to the late Mr. Cas- selman, M,P., of Edmonton East. Mr. Casselman left the House last night to go to his temporary home 'about 10 o'clock and ,collapsed on the steps. be- fore entering his home. Lt was quite a shock to every one as he was very popular with all the members. The second notable event as the laying on the table of the whole plan of the Waterway scheme.

The elect- ed Government of Canada forms the policy under which the Department of National Defence, like all other Ot- tawa departmeists, is run. The Gen- eral Staff Branch, of which General Crerar is Chief, translates that policy into terms of military action. Ile -or- der to ensure that General Staff plans concerning methods and means for the conduct of operations are preper- lly integrated the Ohief of the General Staff is also specifically •charged with. the co-oillination of the work under- taken '1yY, each of the... four staff branches of the Department. These four branches comprise the General Staff wthiCh directs policy of mobiliza- tion and equipment as well as train- ing, intelligence and operations; that of Adputant General, which deals with personnosa;, Quartermaster General, which deals with supplies; Master General of Ordnance, which deals with guns, rifles, tanks, shells and equipneent. Half a dozen officers might have made excellent Chiefs of Staff in Ot- tawa today. General Crerar had, however, very speCial qualifications. DireetlY after war broke out, he 'was sent to England as Senior Combat- ant Officer . at .Canadian Military Headquarters, Loudon, ,medle prepara- tions for the arrival of Canada's Ex- peditionary Forces, for their quarter- ing in pernifanent barracks at Alder, shot and for completion of their training and eqinetneet.

His job in London took him over the various training centres in Eng- land and three times to the continent before the capitulation of t b e French. He brouught back to Ot- (Continued on Page 7) urea tell the story briefly. The works will entail an outlay of some $350,- 224,000. The United States part is figured at $218,599,000; the Canadian share is $131,632,000, of which, Ontario willprovide some $89,000,00() -count- ing the cost of superstructures and machinery for the power plants. The net cost to the Dominion is estimated at about $42,000,000. The total de- velopment on the Canadian side will be 1,615,000 horsepower. The U.S.A. is to do the bulk of the financing, paying the whole cost of the Interna- tional section. But Canada will pay the land damages and for the reloca- tions. Regard, is had to the fact that Canada spent $100,000,000 on the Wel- land Canal. Thereie a long story in t eference to this project and a lengthy debate is looked forward to, both here arid in the. U.S.A. The other outstanding -event of the day was Mr. Howe's dealing with chargee made by Rodney Adamson, M,P., of Toronto, who made sweeping statements with reference to the An- aconda Brass Works of Toronto. This company as well as the Canada Wire. & Cable Co. of Montreal, both sent Mr. Howe letters shattering the char - es of the member completely.' Mr. Howe was quite annoyed. He said the statements made by the member was pure innuendo designed to de- stroy confidence in one of my senior officers. It is the Sett of thing I des- pise and I have mf own opinion of the man who would' go out of his way to do it. The War Appropriation was further liscussed but did not pass. It is in- tended to Mae it ready for the Sell- att, on Tuesday. DEER CROSSES LAWN.
