Use Clean Seed 101 gi Throughout the years the great- est single robber of soil goodness, the greatest enemy of high yields of useful crops has been—weeds. Each year millions of dollars are poured out by Canadian farmers to buy weed exterminators or to pay for cultural practice to hold weeds in check, and each year, just as regularly, thousands of Canadian farmers plant seed so polluted with noxious weeds that they insure the continued life of their greatest enemy. The only possible hope for weed eradication, says Nelson Young, director of the Production Service of the Federal Department of Agri- culture, is in the use of clean and preferably registered seed. Under the Seeds Act, passed in 1905, many steps have been taken to guarantee that clean registered or certified seed imported or pro- duced in Canada, is available to those who are willing to use it. Representing the highest quality, of seed offered for sale in Canada, registered and certified seed are basic seed stocks of improved var- ietties. To qualify they must have been inspected during the growing season and found pure as to varie- ty; the seeds must. 'be free from noxious weed seeds and practically free from all other weeds before they can be graded, tagged and sealed by an inspector of the Plant Products Division. Varying mainly in weed tolerance there are three grades of registered seed and two grades of certified. Non -pedigreed seeds are sold in three g>•ades, these varying consid- erably lin the tolerance of total weed seeds allowed. Officials point out that for the general seeds of commerce, which are not graded by an inspector, it is the responsibil- ity of the' seller to secure seed tests, -grades and certificate of an- alyses number from the regional office of the Plant Products Divi- sion before the seed is sold. INN The Exeter' thankoifering meet- ing eeting of the W.M.S. of Ontario St. Church, Clinton, was the church service Sunday morning, when Mrs. J. H. Childs, "Dean of the School for Leaders," of the London Conference Branch of the society, was the guest speaker. She deliv- ered a wonderful address on "Go, Tell," stressing the very important part of the W.M.S. is doing both at home and abroad, and the very great need there is for more teach- ers, eachers, leaders, nurses and helpers of all kinds, to carry the gospel to others. This gospel, the speaker, stated, "you couldn't keep to your- self if you had it, and if you could, you hadn't it." She pleaded for more missionaries to take the place of those who are worn out with too much work, due to the lack of help- ers. Mrs. W. Pring, of Harriaton, was the guest soloist anddelight- ed her listeners with two appropri- ate songs, "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" and "What Will You Give To Your Sav- iour?" Rev. W. J. Woolfrey was assisted in conducting the service by Mrs. A. J. McMurray, the presi- dent of the society here. The Moderator of the United Church of Canada, Rev. C. M.

Lawn Pointers The difference between a beauti- ful, green stretch of healthy grass and a patchy, muds -dotted lawn is the knowledge the owner had when he started to make the Lawn. All over Canada, thousands of new lawns are in the making, most of them still in the planning stage. That stage—planning—is the place to make the best use of knowledge. Here are a few points suggested by J. H. Royce, of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa: 1. SOIL—A medium or sandy loam soil relatively high in organic matter is desirable. If good soil exists on the lot, scrape it off and stock pile it before excavation is started. 2. DRAINAGE'—Good surface and underdrainage are essential to the establishment of good turf. 3. GRADING—The lawn should slope gradually away from the house. Avoid sharp breaks in con- tour if possible. 4. ORGANIC MATTER—May be added in the form of manure or peat to improve the structure of both light and heavy soils. 5. LIMING—'tDo not apply lime unless a soil test shows it to be necessary. 6. FERTILIZATION —T he appli- catibn of fertilizer prior to seeding is desirable on all soils- and is es- sential on sails of low fertility. Ap- ply uniformly and work it into the soil during the course of seed -bed preparation., 7. SEF,D-BED—Prepare a firm seed -bed, finely pulverized at the surface by alternately raking and rolling. 8. TIME OF SEEDING --Seeding should be done as early as possible in the Spring or during late Aug- ust and early September. 9. SEEDS MIXTURE—Select a mixture containing species which are adapted to the location. 10. SEEDING ,— Broadcast the seed uniformly. 11. COVERING --Cover seed by lightly raking or by applying a thin layout of screened top soil. Fol- low covering by rolling. 12. WATERING—,Keep the seed- bed moist but not flooded until the seedling grass becomes well estab- lished. Avoid washing the seed from the soil.

THE BEtI TMIEPTIONE tOMPif OF CANADA • wt/ ecrwuneAce alvosttek In comparison with most other }hobbies or recreations, equipment For gardening does not present .much of a problem. Minimum re- quirements will be a rake, a spade, some sort of tool for cultivating, and possibly a cheap duster or sprayer. For the lawn, of Course, a mower of some kind will be nec- essary. ec- essary. From those minimum require- ments one can go as far as purse and inclination will dictate, Mucl. will depend upon the size of the lot. For the average city layout not a great deal more will be necessary under any circumstances. But many of the new homes today have far larger lots than a few years ago. Half an acre or more is not uncommon. Power Tools Where this is the case money will be well spent on additional specialized equipment, such as power lawn mowers, possibly a garden tractor, two or three culti- vators of different sizes, a wheel- barrow, etc. These tools or ma- chines will take a good deal of drudgery out of the business and permit one man to look after a con- siderable area in his spare time. With a small tractor, for instance, one can cultivate a ,half acre vege- table plot in an hour or 80, though of course there will be some close or hand work left. And there are other jobs that these machines will handle with some of the various attachments available. They will drive the regular lawn mowers and with a special mowing bar will cut big weeds or long grass, and they can be rigged up to light carts. Cultivation A few years ago much was ,heard about shallow cultivation. Some enthusiasts even advised against deep plowing or spading. in cer- tain dry areas and on a big scale that maybe advisable, but for the average garden the simplest way of preparing the soil for Spring is to plow or spade. That can be done first thing in the Spring or in late Fall. This buries grass, sod, weeds and fresh manure, all of which will break down into humus and other plant food. Then plow- ing or spading will also kill a good many weeds and wintering insects and disease germs. After this only light cultivation will be required. Most gardeners try to get over all flower gardens and vegetable gardens once' a week during the early part of the sea- son, that is up to about mid-July. In addition to killing weeds, this lets in air, prevents baking and conserves moisture. Plant Early Shrubbery, vines, roses, trees ind other nursery stock should be danted as early as possible. This • is especially true where the clim- ate is dry and extra watering is difficult. The main thing is to new stock are kept moist in transit and planting. Ail these things should be planted in a good -sized - hole, the roots spread out loosely, then covered with fine, rich soil, pressed down firmly to exclude all air. If at all possible, water lib- erally for a week or two. Good nursery stock is soft and pliable and well supplied with good live buds. The latter, however, should not"be far advanced. The nearer a plant gets to leafing out the more difficult the transplanting. A new and different blend with a mild and pleasing flavour. Firm and smooth to chew. Never crumbles.
