We Can Hope Anyway
It's been a long and cold win-
ter in most .parts of Canada, not
to add Europe, Florid and
some other , places we might
mention. 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-

cal speaker can reel off stabs-
ties. That sort of thing is not
to be despised. 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 -

For Bachelors only:

"I scorn you, -scurvy compan-

For girls only:
"You kiss by the book."

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.
