Take a Chance
For the main plantings it is not
advisable to plant or set out too
soon. With moderately tender
things little is to 'be gained by
planting until both the soil and air
have started to turn warm and
Spring has really arrived. But this
advice, of course, does not apply to
very hardy flowers and vegetables
nor to most nursery stock, grass
seed, etc. And it does not \apply
rigidly to a few extra rows of al-
most anything in the vegetable line.
IF these come along and escape
the frost one gets a good deal of
satisfaction in boasting to the
neighbors. If they don't come. well
one is out only a few cents worth
of seed and in an hour's healthy
exercise. Just as soon as the
ground is fit to work, one ca.n take
a chance on a few feet of lettuce,
some radish, carrots, onions, spin-
ach and such things. Even a few
hills of potatoes may be planted.
Main plantings, however, of vege-
tables and flowers should wait un-
til practically all danger of frost
bas passed.
When Soil is Fit
Above, and in many garden art-
icles and bulletins, will appear the
caution "When the soil is fit to
'work." What does that means? If
one can walk through the garden
without getting ones shoes really
muddy or if when one squeezes a
handful of soil it crumbles rather
than packs into a hard ba.li, then
the ground is fit to cultivate and
plant. If it' is wetter than this, it
is too soon, and with heavy soil it
will do harm to wont it, it is
very liable to bake hard later on
into lumps that will take half the
summer to break up,
Small Cost But Vital
Too much emphasis cannot be
laid on suitable seed. Suitable
seed is more than just pure, high
quality, graded seed. ft Is seed of
varieties especially selected and
for 'Canadian conditions. In vege-
tables it also means that the var-
iety bas been approved and tested
officially for Canada.
As seed is the only factor in
gardening over which man has ab-
solute control, and as it costs a
.few cents a packet for all that will
be needed in a normal garden for
o whole year, nothing but the best
should be considered.
Two Coi'itinoneat Mistakes
trobably the two commonest
Isbiataites are ton think and too deep
in sowing flower and vegetable
seed. One should remember that
all these things require room, even
tiny things like alyssum or radish
or onions.
With big things like peas, beans,
etc., it is not hard to space as we
plant, but with tiny seeds it is
more difficult and after the plants
come up' they should be thinned.
To spread very small seed more
evenly some experts mix with a
little sand or fine soil and sow the
mixture. The general rule for
depth is three times the diameter.
Now that does not mean getting
out a ruler or calipers. It simply
suggests that fine seed such as
that of onion, poppy, portulaca and
carrots should he merely pressed
into the soil, larger seed like beans
and peas or corn covered about an
inch, still larger such as potatoes
and gladioli, three to six inches, If
planted too deep, the tiny seed es-
pecially may not germinate at all.

shoe this morning."
Mother: "Do you know what
that means?"

his stocking feet."

Don't Mislay Youth
Many great people of the world
have lived to an advanced age in
full possession of their faculties.
Because you retire from business,
there is no need to retire from the
world and active interest in cur-
rent affairs. Keep an alert inter-
est in what is going on. Have your
own pet hobbies and keep your
mind young.
How To Stay "Ex"
After discharge from hospital for
treatment of tuberculosis, the new
freedom may go to the patient's
head somewhat. There's a tempta-
tion to catch up on social activi-
ties, but the ex -patient must realize
that to remain "ex" he must adopt
a careful way of living, with plen-
ty of rest, good nourishing food
and not too muob excitement.
More Vitamin ID
The sun and the average diet
supply some vitamin D but not en-
ough for the requirements of the
human body. Children, especially,
need this sunshine vitamin to help
in the growth of strong bones and
teeth and to prevent rickets. To
augment the daily supply, the pro-
cessed form in tablets, drops or
capsules should be given regularly.

THE
BOWL
By ANNE ALLAN
Hydro Home Economist
Hello Homemakers! The accept-
ed and long established method of
making cakes is undergoing great.
ohanges. Many packaged mixes are
being bought, and no wonder, since
the results are excellent. However,
there is the rural homemaker who
has to use up cracked eggs, good
dripping, and who gets ample milk
from the dairy herd; she too wants
to know' a quick method of produc-
inc a calve that is foolproof.
No matter what method is used
there are a few simple rules that
must be followed • in order to
achieve best results, The most im-
portant rule is to measure accu-
rately. That means to level off
measuring teaspoons of baking
powder and measuring cups of
flour and sugar with a knife. All
liquids, too, should be accurately
measured. By heaping a table-
ware spoon you get too much bak-
ing powder or bu using too little
liquid you are courting the follow
ing disasters:
1. Uneven hump surface -too much
flour or over -mixing.
The Voice Of
Temperance
This is what they say about alco-
hol. Dr. Emerson of Columbia:
"Medical sciences have learne,l
that alcohol as commonly used to-
day, causes more diseases, disabil-
ity and death than any other cause
of ill health which is.in the power
of the individualat present,"
Dr. Pollock of the New York
State Board of Health: "The na-
tion's economic loss from drinkers
in the form of extra costs for police,
jails, courts and hospitals, comes
to at least $10 billion annually."
The chemist, the pathologist and
the physiologist have found that
alcohol itself in any form and in
any amount is a poison. So every
argument is against alcohol. Will
the public never learn?-(Advt.).
2. Coarse texture -too much baking
powder or wrong type of flour.
3. Dry or tough cake - too much
flour or not enough sugar, short-
ening or liquid.
i. Het,vy- cake --too much shorten-
ing or liquid or not enough sug-
ar.
udar.
5. Streaks in cake -too much liq-
uid in raise batter.
6. Falling of cake -too much leav-
ening (soda or baking powder).
Take a Tip
1. Preheat oven to the correct
temperature. ,flake sure top heat
has been off for ten minutes before
cake batter is put in the oven,
2. Grease cake pans with salt -
free dripping. Melt the fat and dip
a piece of paper on the surface of
the fat for greasing pans. This

3. If you are using the electric
miller, the motor 1<uust be turned
to stow or No. 1 speed as the sifted
dry ingredients are added quickly
but' evenly. Mix \only until flour
disappears, using the rubber scrap-
er to finish mixing.
4. Do not try to bake a square
cake in less than 45 to 55 minutes
at a constant temperature of 350
degrees. Test the cake with a
toothpick to see if batter is dry in
the centre.
5. If the cake pan is black and
thin, invert an extra cake pan on
the shelf below the cake to divert
the heat.
6. Avoid drafts or sudden change
in room temperature w'hile cake is
cooling on a rack.
Velvet Cake (Quick -Method)
1. Place two egg whites and 1/2
cup soft butter or shortening in a
cup. Fill measuring cup with milk
at room temperature. Add 1/i tea-
spoon almond extract.
2. Sift cake flqur and measure
11/2 cups into a sifter, add 11/2 tea-
spoons baking powder and 1/4 tea-
spoon salt. Sift dry ingredients in-
to a bowl. Make a well in the cen-
tre and pour in contents • of the
measuring cup.
3. Beat with a rotary 'beater for
5 minutes, scraping sides down two
or three times with a rubber scrap-
er or beat for two minutes with a
mixer.
4. Grease bottom only of an 8 by.
8 inch cake pan. Turn batter into
pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes
in preheated oven of 350 degrees.
5. Cool and frost with Sea Foam
Icing.

you see what is involved in looking after
the greatly increased demands made by busy
Canadians upon their chartered banks.
In ten years ... with bigger staffs and
higher wages, payrolls have jumped
from $40 million a year to $102 million
... taxes, federal, provincial and

... interest paid to depositors has increased
from $22 million to $57.8 million a year.
And these are only three of many expense
