Many pesticide companies have
extensive programs for co-oper-

safe use of agricultural chemicals.
However, officials of the Plant
Products Division, Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa, point out
that for the most part, the essen-
tial information is on the label.
All farmers and agricultural lead-
ers have a great opportunity to
help establish 1955 as a year which
sets new records in -safe use.

A surgeon, an architect and a
politician were arguing as to
whose • profession was the oldest.
"Eve was made from Adam's
rib," said the surgeon, "and that
was a surgical operation."
"Yes," agreedthe architect,
"but prior to that", order was cre-
ated out of chaos, and a was an
arcbitectural job."
"But," spoke up the politician
proudly, "who do you thing creat-
ed the chaos?"

No Great Rush,
There is a 'nice thing abbut
gardening in most parts of Can-
ada. One doesn't have to rush.
Because of the long hours of sun-
shine, growth is rapid, and even if
have not got really started yet,
there is still plenty of time for
most flowers and vegetables. As
a matter of fact, there is far more
risk of failure with too early plant-
ing than too late.
Almost everywhere in Canada, it
is possible to have an excellent
garden even if we are unable to
get a spade into the ground until
well on in May. And there are
lots of quick growing things,which
will make abundant bloom or fine
meals for the table even if. plant-
ed in June. The experts, inciden-
tally, always warn the beginner
to take it easy, to prepare the
soil well, and wait until the spring
weather has really arrived. Of
course one should get nursery
stock and some of the hardier
sorts of flowers and vegetables
planted as soon as pessible, but
the main sowings are best post-
poned until around this time or
even later.
Spreading the plantings, too, •ov-
er afairly long period, right up
to early July in the warmer parts
of Canada, is always advisable. In
this way the harvest of flowers
and vegetables is spread out too.
Soil Building
If the vegetable garden is a
fair size and a little bigger than
we really need for the whole 'sea-
son, it is an excellent idea and a
labor -saver to set a strip aside
and plant this with some cover
crop like buckwheat, oats, or clov-
er, sown fairly thick and broad-
cast. Soon this crop takes over,
chokes out the weeds, and we let
it grow for several weeks. Then
when a foot or so high and still
green, we have it plowed or spad-
ed under. In this way we save
ourselves the trouble of constant
cultivation to keep the weeds down
and we do something more, we
add valuable humus' and fertility
to the soil. It is really amazing
what a- few cover crops turned
under will do in the way of loos-
ening up the heaviest clay or add-
ing what is termed body to sandy
soil.
Can't Buy This Quality
We all know the old argument
about it being cheaper to buy veg-
etables than for the urban man to
grow them. That is all very well,
but • i overlooks an important
point. No matter how handy the
store 'and how fast the transper-
teflon, it just isn't possible to buy
the sort of freshness that only
comes with vegetables grown in
one's own garden. A little plot
where we have a few feet of let-
tuce, onions, radish, carrots and
perhaps a row of beans, tomatoes,
or corn, will repay itself many;
times over just in freshness akine.
Not a great deal of room will
be necessary. To make it go fur-
ther there are various ways of
growing two crops, or practically
so, on the same piece of land. Of
course in this intensive sort of
vegetable gardening, extra fertil-
izer is essential and the soil must
be well worked and rich. In 'dou-

or
ble cropping, we alternate rows
of an early kind with a later one,
for instance radish and carrots, or
lettuce and beans, or peas and
corn. We also have less space
than normal between the rows, if
necessary no more than 12 or 15
inches, The early stuff, of course,
comes on quickly and is used up
before the later maturing vege-
tables require full room. Another
practice is to follow the harvest -
mg of the first vegetables like the
peas, lettuce, spinach, radish, ear-
ly onions, etc., with another sow-
ing of the same or something else
that will be ready say in August
or September. Then there are
certain crops like squash, pump-
kins, that we can plant in the out-
side rows and we can have stak-
ed- tomatoes along the end of any
vegetable row and cucumbers
along the fence.

The apprOval of a television

It is a shame to see fine plants
tangled and sprawled over the
ground, when it .is so easy and
simple .to provide the necessary
support. Little things of course
can stand by themselves, but the
tagger and bushier flowers, ani
such plants as tomatoes. cannot,
and especially in seasons of heavy
rain and wind.
.For the, bushier flowers like del-
phinium, zinnias, marigolds, Ipeon-
ies and so on, support can be furn-
ished that will soon be virtually
invisible. Before the big growth
starts we place the support and
simply let the plant grow around
and through it. For this purpose
we may use metal rings, hoops or
a foot or so of chicken wire ar-
ranged in a loose cylinder about
the plant. Another good plan is
to place some brush firmly in the
ground and close to the main
stem. In a few weeks the plant
completely hides the bresh but
the support is there.
For tall, individual plants like
dahlias, lilies, tomatoes and simi-
lar things we use stakes stained
brown or green perhaps, and these
are hammered firmly in the
ground Within a couple of inches
of the plant first thing in the
Spring, so that the roots will not
be disturbed.
For climbing plants -like sweet
peas, morning glories, pole beans
and so on, chicken wire netting,
old tennis netting, strings, or
brush' will serve and here again
the support should be placed ear-
ly, so that roots and plants will
not be damaged.
Short Cuts
The experienced gardener uses
all sorts of tricks for getting ahead
bf his neighbors. He doesn't, of.
course, risk all his seed or plants
this way, but just a few for extra
early results. For example, in
the vegetable garden he may
make a 'few small hills, a foot or
so in diameter of very rich soil.
In these he will'plant a few mel-
on or cucumber seeds, a few early
type tomatoes and other things.
The rich, open soil will attract lots
of sun and to increase the heat
and protect from late frosts one
may cover with panes of glass, or,
special waxed paper or plastic
covers which act as miniature
greenhouses. To further speed
growth along, one waters well and
adds a bit of quick acting fertil-
izer.
Another short cut is possibleby
using .plants that have beenwell-
started in a greenhouse or hot-
bed or even in flats in some sun-
ny window. This is a regular
practise, of course. with many
things like petunias, asters, toma-
Soes and cabbage. But one can
also extend it to almost anything
in the vegetable lines for extra
early production. Some people
plant a few melon seeds in an egg
shell filled with fine soil or a
berry box, then when the weather
turns warm plant the whole thing
outside. Even a 'few hills of corn
can be handled in this way.
"Does your wife talk much?”
"I'll say she does. While we
were on holidays her tongue got
sunburnt."
Moving
If we observe just a few simple
rules almost any plant can be
moved when young and small.
The main thing is to keep the
roots undisturbed, to keep them
away from the air and to cover
quickly and firmly with fine moist
soil. Watering during and im-
mediately after transplanting is
essential, unless the soil is very
moist and also if possible supply
a little shade for the first few
hours or -a day or two. With big
things like trees and shrubbery,
it is also advisable to tie trunks
or main stem_ firmly to a stake to
prevent the wind loosening. If
there are only f. few things to
move, ,one should do the job in
the evening and preferably when
there is no wind. Above all, it
is most important to cover the
roots well and keep the soil firm-
ly pressed around them. To speed
growth and lessen the shock of
moving, it is a good plan to sprin-
kle a little chemical fertilizer
around but not actually touching
the roots.
They Like a Fine Bed
Germinating seeds and roote do
not like air. Hence in any -seed
-bed one should have the soas
fine as possible, raking several
times or cultivating thoroughly to
break up the lumps. Then after
the seed is sown, the soil should
be pressed down firmly and if -it
is not moist, it is a good plan to
water thoroughly, but carefully,
to avoid washing out the seed or
covering it too deeply. In moist,
fine, warm soil, germination will
start quickly.
