PLAN REQUIREMENTS NOW FOR ..ORNA11IENTAL SHRUBS Horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture say now is the time to think about spring planting of ornamental shrubs around the home, Take time to plan your requirements and select suitable varieties before placing an order. The best time to plant shrubs is determined by. the state of the soil, which will be after the frost has gone out of the ground and the soil is warm enough. Squeeze a handful of soil and if it crumbles it is ready for planting, but if it stays sticky in your hand, it is too early. May is a- good Month to plant in this part of the country. Recommended., for planting on the north side of a house are Ja- panese barberry and snowball hy- drangea. On the east side, the Japanese quince and forsythia are favored. Mock orange, bridal wreath and spirea vanhouttei ate good choices for the west side. Polyantha roses grow well to the south, the sunny side of the house. A good shrub for the south side is the beauty bush, kolkwitzia am- abilis. Prune shrubs after they flower, taking out all dead wood.

HERE IS THE ANSW[R- Scott Farms have had eight pens of 100 pullets each under test in the test building on our Home Farm. This test is started with a case of hatching eggs from the various crosses, which are hatched on the same day, brooded together up to_ 150 days of age, and then located in separate pens. The test provides an excellent opportunity to study egg•, production, egg grades, feed consumption,".and mortality.. These- test pe`ns at Scott Farms give a good indication of the difference ip+strains and types of layers. One hundred and twenty-five baby chicks (pullets), each of eight different strains (3 Leghorn type, 5 Dual -Purpose) were hatched May 11, 1959. They were grown together, and penned separately at 150 days of age, when egg records commenced. ' On March 31, 1960, the average egg production for the eight pens was 9,655 eggs. Kimber K-137 Leghorn pen laid 13,277 eggs, or 4,612 above average. In second place were Scott Three -Way Cross, which laid 10,585 eggs, or 920 above the average.
