Keyes, Longridge First Job Outdoors As a general rule it certainly does not pay to rush the season with most gardening operations, and es- pecially in the planting of things that don't appreciate a late frost. For the great majority of seeds startedthere is little to be gained and considerable risk in getting them in the ground before the soil and the air have definitely turned warm and our long Canadian win- ters inters are really over. But of course, there are some exceptions. Jobs that might have been done Iast fall, if the weather or some other reason interferred, are an ex- ample. Under this rough classifi- cation will come the planting of trees, shrubs and most lawn work. In this category, too, will be sweet. peas, which must bo slanted as ear- ly as possible if they are to' do well. This sort of gardening can start just as soon as the last snow has gone and the soil is dry enough to dig without puddling, Sweet Peas With sweet, peas one should fol - ow planting directions closely; that is, sow in the richest possible soil and in a shallow trench. These plants must get growth before the weather turns warm. For their roots they love a good mulch of rotted leaves with some well rot- ted manure. On top place a few inches. of sol Later ons ething to climb on must be provided. Best materials for this are some of the branches the good gardener will he pruning off his trees and shrubbery ,just now. Normally sweet peas will grow about three to four feet tall, but in Western Canada and some other areas where this plant really flourishes much more than this will he necessary. When bloom starts these should be removed daily In order to encourage long stems and continuous blossoming. Lawn Work Early • Grass seed is another thing that Should go in while the weather is Cool. High quality mixtures as put Up by reputable Canadian seed ?,110cSeis are much the best. Good' deed mixtures cost more than the ;..,i thdf.kinds because these are the illy ones that contain the right 'oportioILs of various grasses for i'friaftelit results C.10 Inn& raster to get the (ftt' tt fine an� Q ' )it nett ROILS Ii rdpai>G'i k rO a o'ifett befol Weed is uo it'Nide 4tftekbt+srcCs. 0)&1401, #ro$e> ; olio ltdri, once across and once lengthwise, for even results and, of course, when there is little or no wind. A little brush or wire will protect from birds until the grass gets well started. For the first cutting a very sharp mower is advised. other- ' wise the tender grass may be pull- ; ed right out by the roots. Grass, like other plants, will ben- efit from good rich soil and an annual application of well rotted 'manure or a chemical fertilizer j richer in nitrogen. An occasional 'application of bone meal will add to depth of color. Well fed grass will crowd nut a lot of weeds, but of course we can always expect some of these puts. The once arduous jobs of spudding or dig- ging them out. however, has been almost eliminated by the new 2 4-1) chemical killers now on the mar- ket. A Anyti e from now until June is the s. time for pruning most shrubbery and trees. A good gen- eral rule to remember is that early blooming shrubs like Forsythia and Spirea should be pruned after blooming, later blossoming ones before or first thing in the spring.

A dollar does seem a lot of money for a haircut when we come to look back to the time, not very long ago, when it only cost 25 cents. I don't know what it costs for a haircut under socialism in Britain, but the price was as low as threepence forty years ago, and you could have a shave for a pen- ny. In those days, however, the prices of everything else were low in proportion. The barbers now claim that they have to pay high prices, for soap, hair tonic, towels, help, rent and taxes, So that they are not altogether to blame for their price inflation since the value of the dollar has been deflated. The worst of it is that the dollar haircuts will be added to the cost of living index, and everybody, ex- cepting the unorganized poor, will be demanding and will get higher wages, and the cost of living will rise accordingly. Experts tell us that we are living in an "expand- ing economy," which, being inter- preted, means a contracting dollar valuation. Guess I'll have to pay the dollar and call it 50 cents.

SPORTS CHATTER (By WALLY) Last Wednesday evening we were able to attend the Pee -Wee hockey game at Ingersoll when the locals were successful over this team. During this game we were very dissatisfied with the type of referees that the Ingersoll team -had chosen to officiate at this game, They did a very poor job is they lolled around the ice with their. hands in their pockets, breath- ing through the whistles every once in a w"hile to show the few fans that were there that two re- ferees were still present. Continually throughout the game such things as hooking, tripping, slashing, etc., were allowed to go by unnoticed and thus unpenalized. We think that such refereeing should not be allowed in the minor ranks as we honestly believe that refereeing of a Pee -Wee game is as important as the coaching of such team. These junior players take their style of playing from what is allowed by the officials at their games. The Pee -Wee teams should be given the very best of referees so that they can be corrected on any of their faults. Why are crowds so small at the games played by Ontario's Pee -Wee teams? This seems to be a general qnes i on throughout t the Province. Last Wednesday evening only 100 Ingersoll fans turned up to see their team as they hooked up with the Seaforth Pee -Wee Beavers. This, we consider, was a very poor showing for a town of 6,500 like In- gersoll. For the ages of the par ticipants, we consider their style of hockey excellent, and rather fast, that is as fast as their legs will carry them. The Pee-Wees, as we are constantly reminding you, are your midget, intermediate and junior teams of tomorrow. The local squad of players are doing very well this year, having ii ti ng In tuchoSlit totol►rner.be1 " ell at the • Goderich • lderaerak • tuna that k. oeng .tQ• snortsall receivedwee, tine gaAecdImes will start early in the morning and con- ttnuin,g throughout the entire day.

Clinton's left - winger, Draper, played a flashy game, getting six of Clinton's 13 goals, and one as- sist. McEwan, Clinton centre, was equally effectiye, but failed to get the scoring breaks.

Meat Grades Study Consumer Problems Government meat graders n•a find themselves going to school regularly, every year, if an experi- ment recently conducted in Toron- to shows the kind of results it is expected to show. The experiment was a special school for federal government meat graders in which particular attention was given to the requirements of the Canadian meat consumer. 'Qualified graders from coaet to coast were given con -1 centrated training in all aspects o`+ the grading of meat, especially beef. The consumer angle was emphasized through lectures by re- cognized consumer authorities from both government and industry as 1 well as visits to packing plants, chain stores, independent meat shops, railway dining car depots,' army 'butchering establishments and other places where consumer meat preferences were discussed, first band. R. A. Thompson, of Toronto, meat specialist with the Marketing Ser- vice of the Canada Department of Agriculture, was class instructor.
