But we will hope that it's about over now. In any case we can at least start dreaming of the spring- days to come. And to make that dreaming more re- alistic we can start actual gar- den planning too. It's possible, of course, to create a garden or build a house without some part of a plan, but there will be more satisfaction and pleasure if we do have one. And these plans can be as sim- ple or as elaborate as we de- sire. Some people even go so far as to draw the whole thing to scale, fit plants into this lay- out according to their mature height and width, match up col- ors, keep a precise record of planting, blooming and matur- ity dates from year to year and of course can string off variety names just like a good politi- SERVICE STATION Cities Service Oil Co.

For an expert, there can't be too many blue- prints and facts, But the new gardener doesn't have to bother with such voluminous data. All that he needs to know is whe- ther a flower is hardy or tender, and whether it grows a few inches or a few feet. The rest he can learn pleasantly as he goes along. Can Grow Your Own Where one requires a lot of started plants such as petunias, asters, zinnias or marigolds to set out in the flower garden once danger of frost is over, or when you want a very special variety . of tomato or cabbage, a very substantial saving is re- alized by growing them from seed, and there is very lttle trouble in doing . so. March is the proper time to start in most parts of Canada. All that is needed is some good- fine garden soil in which has been mixed a little peat moss or"leaf mould and sand, a flat or shallow wooden box about four inches deep or some flower pots, a few packets of seed and a sunny window. Mix soil, sand and peat moss thoroughly, make as fine as pos- sible. Soak well and plant the seed 'by merely pressing firmly in the soil. Water sparingly when the plants appear and turn box around frequently to keep sunlight uniform so that growth will be sturdy and even. For at least a week before setting out permanently in the garden, the young plants should be hardened by exposing to outside temperatures and wea- ther for a lengthening period each day. Timely Tips It's a good plan now to start saving any string that conies into the house. A. lot of it is used in gardening—the softer kinds" for tying up tall plants and vines, the stouter type for marking rows. An interesting and very use- ful way of spending a late win- ter's evening is to get a pencil, paper and a Canadian seed cat- alogue and plan the garden we are going to have just as soon AS spring really arrives. Such plans will be a big help and anyway in gardening planning is almost as good fun as' plant - Ing. seems that I have been negglect- ing your education .lately. 1( imagine we all had plenty to think about near and during exams without any extra cur- ricular thinking.

I'll just skip "Friends, Romans, Countrymen . . that's too familiar. But here are some others: For Bachelors only: "I' would not my unhoused, free condition put into circum- scription and confine for the sea's worth." (Othella). When the teacher is putting a new lesson on the board: "0 day and night, but this is wondrous strange.", (Hamlet). When you want to get rid of someone: "I scorn you, -scurvy compan- ion. What! You poor, base, rascally, cheating, lack -linen mate! Away, you moldy rogue, away!" (Henry IV, part II). For girls only: "You kiss by the book." (Romeo and Juliet). To the dog when he has got into the house with his dirty feet and tracked up the clean floor: "Out, damned Spot!" (Mac- beth).. KIPPEN. Miss Marlene McLachlan, of London, spent the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William McLachlan. Mr. and Mrs. John Sinclair and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Strong, of Seaforth, motored to Florida, where they will enjoy a vacation for a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Oke, of London, are in charge of the farm during their absence. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Flood, of Ottawa, spent the weekend at the home of the latter's par- etts, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mc- Lean. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Hooey and family, of Sarnia, visited re- cently with the Tatter's parents, Mr. and. Mrs. John Pepper. Stanley Sallies Meet The Stanley Sallies held their third meeting Wednesday, Feb. 13, at the home of Mrs. Eileen Consitt with all the girls pres- ent. Wendy Jones took charge of the meeting, and Ann Clif- ton read the minutes. Roll call was answered with "A good grooming habit I will practce." Mrs. Consitt showed t h e equipment necessary for mani- curing nails, and two of the girls demonstrated a manicure. In the subject matter, the care of the hands, teeth and feet was discussed. The -group also saw how to lay the 'pattern on the material for the duster. The meeting closed with "God Save the Queen." UCW 'Complete Quilts The United Church Women •of St. Andrew's Church held a pot -luck dinner and quilting at the church on Tuesday, Feb. 12. Seventeen ladies 'came out and two quilts were completed, to be sent to Missions. The ladies were reminded of the World Day of Prayer service, to be held in Kippen Church on March 1. stimated Canadian seed pro- ction of most forage crops was below average in 1962 but meadow fescue and crested wheat grass reached record high levels of 7 million pounds and 2.6 million pounds. Production was influenced in Saskatchewan by the previous year's drought, in Alberta by frosts and in Ontario by. hay and pasture shortages, in 1962. Timothy output from Ontario was half the 10 -year average of 11 million pounds. Other seed output figures, with 1952-61 averages in mil- lionu pounds, P in brackets: Red clover double cut 3.3 (4.7), Red clover single cut 2.3 (5); timothy 10.1 (16.8), brome grass 6.9 (8.4), alfalfa 4:1 (5.4). Production of Russian wild rye grass continued to expand and reached 625,000 pounds. Acreage of forage crop veri- ties eligible for registration and certification showed a steady increase for alfalfa and crested wheat grass varieties. Climax • timothy claimed 13,000 acres but this variety and alfalfa and crested wheat 'grass were the only crops planted to more than 5,000 acres each. Other types occupied 50 to 1,200 acres each. Total acreage of wheat, oats, barley and flax inspected for registration and cer'fication was about 30 per cent 1 Ss than in 1961 but this was largely offset by higher yields. Wet weather in August and early September together with frost, particularly in Alberta, affected the general quality of Prairie cereal seed crops. Qual- ity of the bulk of cereal seeds in Eastern Canada was good. Selkirk continued to gain on Thatcher among spring wheats and Genesee continued its dom. ination of winter wheat plant- ings. Oat seed output increas- ed with Russell making rapid gains in popularity. Rodney, Garry and Russell accounted for all but 10,000 of the 82,650 acres inspected. Barley seed output was also up, Pallister being most popu- lar, but most of the 18 varie- ties grown claimed substantial acreage. Flax acreage for oil seed was down from 34,669 in 1961 to 18,000 inspected the registra- tion and certification. Winter rye also was sharply down.
