Give- Them Room ' 'If every seed that sprouted,were allovved to grow, this world woad so_ on become a jungle and our §ar-i dens an awhil mess. Almost ev- ,erything needs thinning and will eio much better with plenty of room. Overcrowded plants get spindly and weak, an easy prey for insects. and disease or even a heavy rain. In almost every case where plants are started from . seed and especially tiny sed, likejettuce or alyssum or poppies, they must be thinned later. In doing this, no-, totally we pull out the poorer spe- cimens first, but in any •case we must leave plenty of room for full development. If we are afraid of later damage from bugs or cid- worms, perhaps we will leave twice as many plants as at first, then later on we , remove every ether one. In certain vegetables, hie beets and carrots, too, we leave the plants about an inch or: so apart at first, then use further thinnings for our first meals. When thinned properly, the plants left will grow more quickly, more stur- dily and should be healthier. Thin' ning is not always confined to seedlings. The extra big and fine blooms you usually see in the flower shows are .,.etten the result Of thinning. Only in this case it will be the flower buds that are removed. Instead of letting every single rose, peony, or dahlia de- velop, the professionals nip off about 56 per cent or more of the buds so that those that are left will -be finer and bigger. The same thing is done with fruit like apples, plums and peaches for big prime results. Summer Lawn Care When and if a real sionmer heat wave comes, one should make a few changes in thharegular lawn care'. Grass is a cola' and moist loving plant and in Most parts of Canada' it is not likely to get that sort of weather in July and Aug- ust. It won't make much growth when the thermometer goes much above 75. In consequence one should cut less often in hot wea- ther and also set the mower high- er. And even if we remove the clippings earlier in the spring, it is a good plan to let them lie Where they fall in the summer. They will make a mulch which, with the longer grass, will protect the roots from the burning sun. viraftisurrirmrsorows••• NOTICE TOWN OF SEAFORTH All persons in the municipality owning or harb- oring dogs must purchase 1955 licenses for the same on or before June 30th, 1955.

He vot- ed consistenly unfit b. bitted: 105 last petobe.r. It was only in the last few months that illness had forced Mr. Hannah to bed. He had been in hospital Mr about a month. But long.past his 105ft birthday he had been up and aboi4 and al- though he was deaf, rebtivei; said he was perfectly able to tajte care of himself. In the paid few Years be had spent most of his time watching passing traffic en 'Mary- land Street, reading newspapers and rnagazmes and going for the occasional car ride. But even when he was 101 he was still work- ing in his own garden. Mr. Hannah was born October 25, 1840, in Seaforth,-OnL, of Scot - fish ancestry. He helped pioneer the Swan River district before he retired to Inmipeg and lived with a daughter, Mrs. N. Shirray, at the Maryland street address.

Funeral services were held at 1 p.m, Friday in Swan River United Church. Burial was in Swan River cemetery. Early summer, when the nights get fairly warm, is the best time to apply the chemical weed kill- ers. Used with reasonable care, it is amazing how these will virip out dandelion, plantain and most broad leaved weeds. One should cover the whole lawn but one must be careful to miss any flowers or shrubbery because these sprays will seriously damage if not kill them. For a real job, one should always repeat the spraying in about three weeks to a month's time. This second application will catch those weeds which have sprouted from seed since the first treatment. It is, best to keep one sprayer for 'this weed killing busi- ness only, otherwiA one Must be most careful to wash machine and nozzle thoroughly before, using for any other purpose.
