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.

"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?"

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- el ream c.r car c rn *rue . .

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 ense for Radio Station Cli113 by the CBC Board of Governors, Men, day, was the big news in the coun- ty last week. The Wingham sta- tion will operate on channel No, 8, and it wili have a directional an- tenna at a height of 793 feet. Of particular interest is the fact that an extensive farm program is be- ing planned. 47. 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. 1°ZECTORS—Harry Co illnilltPt°13:111;:3°C!iltr311141!ertYlihaellColquh�un';;.1.Yr41'.
