A plot 10 feet by 20, with a little planning and double cropping, will yield many meals and at last win- ter's fancy prices for vegetables the total Drop would be worth a really eubstantial sum. Of course, in the very mill vege- table garden on is wise to forget those bulky or spreading sort of things like potatoes, corn, squash or peas. One should ' concentrate on 'beans, carrots, beets, spinach, radish, lettuce, possibly a half-dozen staked tomatoes and perhaps 'a hill or two of cucumbers, trained over the boun- dary fence. None of these vegetables take up much room. Beans, beets and carrots, for instance, can be grown in rows only a foot apart, and 10 feet of any of them will produce many meals for the average family. With some 'of the very early things like lettuee, radish and spinach, double cropping can be practised. Plant these in rows, say, 18 inchesapart, with rows of the later things—beets, beans, carrots, parsnips; etc., in between. I4ong before the last named are full grown the first will be usedd and out of the way. To Get Top Quality But planting and spacing the vege- tables is only part of the plan, To get top quality, growth must be hur- ried along. Really tender vegetables are those which are grown fast, that have never known a set -back and are picked when ' they are at their best and quickly put into the pot or on the .table. When, a vegetable stops growing for any reason—lack of at- tention, overcrowding, drought or just plain maturity—they start to turn tough.' The wise gardener will help growth along by thinning properly, TOWN OF SEAFORTH Proclamation Daylight Saving Time In accordance with request from the Merchants' Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the Council has instruct' ed me to declare DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ADOPTED FOR THE TOWN OF SEAFORTH during the period from APRIL 26th, AT 2 A.M. to SEPTEMBER 26th, 2 A.M., 1948, inclusive and respectfully request the citizens to observe same.

Plants are transplant• ed to permanent quarters when they are well established with several sets of leaves. Ready -started bedding plants can be bought from greenhouse people. For husky growth, cosmos, gladioli, dahlias; giant marigolds and zinnias should have about two feet each way—petunias need about a foot of room. Will They Grow in Canada? One reads of lots of beautiful flowers, shrubs and even vegetables• that may not do well in Canada. These were developed for the South- ern States •or England where the cli- mate is milder or the growing season is longer. It is a waste of money, time and ef- fort in trying to grow them here. Our climate, soil and other conditions are not suitable. To guard against dis- couragement one is advised to stick to those flowers, shrubs and vege- tables that are especially recommend- ed for Canadian conditions. These are the varieties and types listed in any Canadian seed catalogues. These have all been tested under: Canadian conditions and recommended by Can- adian authorities. ELIMVILLE Cpl. and Mrs. 1I.

I' Rif -LEE,-41E0 IN THE REALM OF SPORTS Ah, roul . , •. Spring is' here and so is the ball season. It will be softball, baseball, and we hope that the boys around -the olds town can get football going again. After the Torpnto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup and Sund- ridge won the Intermediate title, the legal Amateur ,.A,gsoeiatiopi, wasn't long in calling a..meeting anal start- ed the ball rolling . . , pardon me 1. I mean the organization rolling for what appears to be an outstand- ing ball season for Seaforth • and dis- trict. The local entry in the W.O.A.A. should be right up in the thick of things . ehould they start where they left off last year. That team was a sound team, and with the ex- perience of the previous season should ,play better ball this time. If that is to be accomplished, the fans can help to a greater extent by their contin- ued attendance and support of the local boys. In fact, there,.should be a greater attendance at these games, and with the fans behind the team, they are bound to reach not only the group finals, but the championship— so• fans, when the season opens be on hand for every game. There is another matter we are 'glad to see and we feel that it will be a factor in increasing. the ball at- tendance, and that is, floodlights. This, no doubt, will be welcomed by the many fans who found it almost impossible to make the games at the early hour they were ,held before. Other centres have it and we believe it has been a boost to the centres. Last' year our boys played several night games at Wingham and will be more accustomed this season by play- ing some of their own games under floodlights at home, The W.O. A.A. will affiliate with the O.B.A. for all hard ball series and adopt their rules, except one rider. v. hereby 12 miles by well -travelled highway- be the distance a team may draw a player.

There are many features that could be played up and arrangements made for something doing every day of the Old Home Week.

Deachman) The big hotels lose every year tre- mendous quantities of house furnish- ings—there are many light-fingered men and women in the world. Mr. Bannister from Detroit positively was not one—hence This little exchange between that gentleman and the As- sistant General Manager of The Pal- mer House, Chicago, Ill. U.S.A.': Mr. Harry Bannister, Radio Station WWJ, Detroit, Mich. Dear Mr. Bannister: Upon making the customary room inspection immediately after a guest's departure, our housekeeper advisesus that the two brown woollen blankets, replacement value $8..00 each, were missing from the room you occupied'. May we respectfully ask that when unpacking your luggage, should this article be noted, we will appreciate it if you will return same at once. Guests frequently, we find, in their haste, inadvertently place such items in their effects, and, of course, return them When discovered. Allow us also to emphasize our ap- preciation of your patronage and we trust we may have the distinct plea- sure of serving you often in the near future. Yours very truly, L. E. Kaffer, Asst. General Manager, The Palmer House, Chicago, Il], Mr. Bannister Replies Mr. L. E. Kaffer, Asst. General Manager, The Palmer House, Chicago, Ill. Dear Mr. Kaffer: I am desolated to learn after read- ing your very tactful letter that you actually have guests at your hostelry who are so absentminded• as to check out and include such tokens of your esteem as wool blankets (replace- ment value $8.00 each) when replac- ing the other necktie and soiled shirt. By the sante token, I suppose that Passengers on some of our leading railroads are apt to carry off a loco- motive or a few hundred feet of rails when disembarking from the choo- choo on reaching their destination. Or a visitor to a big city zoo might cc nceivably take away an elephant or a rhinoceros, concealing same in a sack of peanuts—after, removing the nuts (replacement value $0.05). In this particular case I might be of slight assistance to you in running down the recalcitrant blankets. As h.ad a lot of luggage with me, I needed all the drawer space you so thoughtfully provided in each roam. The blankets in question occupied 'the'"i'lottom drawer 01' the dresser, and I wanted to place some white shirts (replacement value $3.50 each) in that drawer, so 1 lifted said blankets and placed- them on a chair. La.terr the maid cine in and I handed the blankets (sane blankets and same re- placement value) to her—telling her in a nice gentlemanly way to get them to hell out of here. If you'll count all the blankets in your esteemed establishment you will ,find that all are present and account- ed for—unless other absent-minded' .guests have been accommodated at your emporium meanwhile, That's the best. I can do. Yours very truly, Harry Bannister. P.S.—Have you counted the eleva- t.,rs lately? The Soft Answer Mr, Harry.
