KIPPEN
Besides ministering to the two -
charge circuit of Kippen and Hills -
green United Churches, the Rev.
Albert E. Hinton finds time to take
an active interest in woodwork.
Handicapped' by a leg injury which
required 13 months' treatment, Mr.
I•iinton. turned to a hobby in his
spare time this past year. Evidence
of his handicraft may be seen in,
the manse living room. To date,
Mr. Hinton has made fern stands,
coffee tables, end, tables, book-
cases and a radio -phonograph case.
When Mr. Hinton says farewell
to his two eongregations at the
end of June, both charges will have
tokens of remembrance of his pas-
torate.
a -torate. At Hillsgreen a modern
pulpit and communion table, made
by •the pastor and donated byehim,
grace the front of the church. A
similar tribute may •be found in the
Kippen charge where four tea trays
were presented.. by the pastor, who
next month celebrates his 70th
birthday. He will leave to -take a
pastorate at Birehton, Quebec.

any way or rejected. Part of the
figures shown in the report are
taken from the assessment rolls
prepared by the municipal asses-
sors in the previous year and the
recommended figures for the pur-
pose of equalization may have' lit-
tle or no similarity to the local as-
sessors' totals. While the county
council prepare their equalization
by-law immediately following the
County Assessor's report, the coun-
ty rates or levies based on these
figures do not appear in the local
tax bills until the following year.
A lapse of two years is thus found

month in the time of planting made
an average difference of about one
hundred bushels per acre in the
yield of No. 1 grade potatoes, with
the earlier planting giving the top
results.
Quality is the second factor
which makes it advantageous to
plant the potato crop as soon as
the land is ready. Early planting
gives the crop the opportunity to
mature naturally and this leads to
better quality. Late planted pota-
toes, harveltted before 'maturity,
bruise easily, do not stand up well
in storage and have a tendency to
be soggy when cooked. This, says
Mr, Goodin, means they are not the
type of potatoes which build a mar-
ket.
On the matter of quality he also
emphasizes the importance of grow-
ing varieties which will be white in
color and mealy in texture when
cooked. Such potatoes, grown to
maturity and well graded, will give
good returns to the producer and
maintain consumer interest in the
product, Add to this the increase.
yield to be expected from early
planting and the importance of this
practice is obvious.
Canada Thistle
"Few weeds are more common to
Ontario farmers than our current
weed of the week—Canada Thistle,"
states K. E. Fallis, Field,man for
sor visits your property and the
time you pay county rates based on
such assessment.
Re -Assessment a Chore
It is found that the County As-
sessor requires from three to five
years to 'complete his work of re-
assessment in a county. This per-
iod is determined by the number of
municipalities in the countyand
the co-operation given by the local
municipalities.
The weakness of the county as-
sessment system being the highest
form of supervised assessment lies
in the fact that high school dis-
tricts and township school areas ov-
erlap in many cases into adjoining
counties with different methods of
valuations. Possibly the solution is
supervision by the Provincial Gov-
ernme•nt in an endeavor to insti-
tute a common basis of valuation
and assessment.
(In next week's article you will
be told of the provisions of the
Assessment Act which govern the
basis of your own assessment).
Garden Paths
No matter how small the garden
there will be the problem of paths.
Instead of being an eyesore, these
can be made into an attractive fea-
ture of the lawn or flower plots or
even the vegetable patch. Where
traffic is usually concentrated such
as near' the door or a gate, it is
advisable to use some solid mater-
ial like flagstones, concrete slabs,
bricks, cinder or gravel. With any
of these the main thing is to place
firmly and level with or just slight-
ly above the surrounding grass, so
that the lawn mower will trim or
even run right over easily. Where
the traffic is lighter, one can sim-
ply use grass for the- strip of well
grown, well fed and tough grass.
It is surprising the amount of wear
this will give. In lots of public gar-
dens grass paths are used to divide
the flower plots and they are sel-
dom worn thin. Where cinder or
gravel is used in paths or drive-
ways, one can eliminate grass and
weeds by sprinkling heavily with
rock salt or treating with some of
the weed sprays.
First -Year Gardens
Y.hen the builder of the new
"house says he's finished, the gar-
dener is just ready to begin. He
shouldn't be discouraged at the
rough grading, the litter of plaster
and bricks that the bulldozer Has
barely covered., One can hardly be-
lieve what can 'be accomplished in
the first year. 'Of course We can't
grow trees', shrubs and perennial
vines overnight. But it is amazing
what one can do with anneals
alone, The best plan is to get in
early whatever nursery stock and
perennial flowers are available and
financially possible. Then in be-
tween these use all sorts of annuals
which will soon look as if they had
always been there. There are big,
bushy things like cosmos, dahlias,
cannas, castor oil and spider plants,
ornamental sunflowers or helia,n-
thus, African marigold's and giant
larkspur that can be used in the
place of flowering shrubbery. Then
there are quick -growing climbing
plants, scarlet runner beans, morn-
ing glories, climbing nasturtiums,
sweet peas, hops and such for cov-
ering trellis or fence. And as for
solid beds, edging and whatnot we
have at least a hundred annual
flowers from which to choose.
Of course before any planting or
lawn seeding is done, we must dig
Or cultivate thoroughly, rake as lev-
el and as fine es possible. It is al-
so advisable, where available, to
dig in some good manure or com-
mercial fertilizer.
Be Prepared
, A very necessary piece of equip-
ment for most gardeners is a small
Sprayer or duster and the materials
to load it. Nothing is more discour-
aging than to get, 'flowers. vege-
tables or shrubbery flourishing and
then to discover some fine morning
that bugs or disease have started
to attach them, tf one counter•et-

tacks promptly, however, there is
little difficulty about control. For
every pest, 'fortunately, there is
some chemical or, other treatment
to keep it in cheek. Usually a spray
or dust is used. For insects that
eat holes in foliage the usual reme-
dy is a poison of some kind, such
as arsenate of. lead, DDT, copper
sulphate, nicotine, etc. For the
pests that suck out the juices a
burning spray or dust incorporating
sulphur is recommended, or some-
times special soap and water or
some of the tobacco solutions. Use
sprays when the foliage is dry.
With the dust, best results are ob-
tained on a day without wind and
just after a rain or before a dew.
With all chemicals one is well ad-
vised to study and follow directions
carefully and make sure that the
proper material is used for the par-
ticular pest concerned.

Given in marriage by her father,
the bride wore a pink taffeta gown
trimmed with pearls', with pink

to match. She wore a corsage of
pink roses, and carried a white
Bible trimmed with white ribbon
( streamers, Miss Ola, Martha Fan -
I grad was her sister's' bridesmaid,
in a yellow pique gown trimmed
with rhinestones with yellow sinew

' law of the bridegroom, was best
man.
A reception was held at the home

Pipit -vi'llainii, the Thistles, Ooh.:
ada Thistle is a hardy 'perenniak
with underground root stems which
produce a large number of shoots.
The vigorous green leaves with
their sharp spines are also well
known. Mr. Falls -points out that
the purple flower ripens to form
the downy air borne seeds which
are responsible for much of the
spread of this costly weed.
Mr. Fallis • suggests that the first
step in control is to prevent the
seed from ripening. In pastures,
lanes and roadsides this can 1)e
accomplished by mowing the plants
during late June and early July,
when they are at the early bloom
stage.
However, he adds that this will
not control the established plants,
whose strong root system will need
tearing up. Early after harvest cul-
tivation is effective on these root -
stalks which are similar to those of
sow thistle.
TO control Canada da This le
Thistle in
grain crops or corn, where n� clov-
er is seeded down, Mr. Fallis re-
commends that 2-4,D be used at the
rate of 8 ounces per acre. This
will stunt the growth of the weed,
and prevent seed`" from forming.
This application is most effective
when the grain is about six inches
high, and will prevent further
spread of the weed. This will not
kill the roots but this can be ac-
complished
scomplished by after harvest culti-
vation.
Indeed, Mr. Falls emphasizes
that the extensive root system of
Canada Thistle, and its habit of
sending up new shoots from the
roostalk•s, makes persistence in
these control measures over several
years necessary, if the weed is to
Ile eradicated'. It can be thinned
out considerably in one year, but
unless this is followed up in suc-
ceeding years, it will re-establish
itself and goon become as big a
problem as ever.
LONG -PLAY EQUIPMENT is be-
ing added at CKNX. The move will
bring greater variety and fidelity,
particularly to the shows that use
pop -concert or light classical music.
Matinee (3 to 4 p.m. daily), for one,
stands to benefit.
