At this meeting the supper committee are to make fur- ther arrangements for the April supper. Mrs. Ross Knight gave the mot- to for the meeting. It was based on the thought: Keep skid chains en your tongue; always say less than you think. Mrs. Murray Huether gave the topic, which was well prepared by Mrs, Gordon Knight. "Social chal- lenge of old age" was the theme of the topic. She said that in our society too often the wants of the young were met and not the needs of the aged. She pointed out that the young .should learn how to grow old and to prepare for par- ticipation later on, Mrs. Rae Bronson, of Brussels, demonstrated how to make flowers from wood fiber to brighen up homes during the winter.

Garden Planning Time Arrives An interesting and very useful way of spending a late winter's evening is to get a pencil, Taper and a \good Canadian seed cata- logue and plan the garden we are going to have just as soon as Spring really arrives. Such plans, of course, are not absolutely nec- essary, but they will be a big help and anyway in gardening planning is almost as good fun as planting. In this planning we should note the mature size of the plants we are going to grow and the time they will be in bloom, or in the case of vegetables the time they will be ready for the table. All this information and more will be found in the seed catalogue. Location is another point to bear in mind. Some flowers thrive in full sun, others definitely* prefer shade, some like a slope, others are not so particular; some want a damp spot, others insist on stay- ing rather dry. There are even quite attractive flowers, portulaca, for instance, which will thrive in the hottest and dustiest spot im- aginable. Another factor is fra- grance. Some like stocks, nicotine and others which are not particu- larly beautiful plants, are prim- arily grown for their scent and add great attraction to the gar- den even after dark. All these points should be noted as we browse through the catalogue and plan. Why Not Grow Your Own Where one requires a lot of bed- ding or started plants such aspe- tunias, asters, zinnias or marigolds to set out in the flower garden once danger of frost is over, a very sub- stantial saving is realized by grow- ing them from seed, and there is very little trouble in doing so. March is the proper time to start in most parts of Canada. All that is needed is a pail or two of good fine garden soil in which has been mixed some 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 tempera- tures and weather for a lengthen- ing period each day. Vegetables Do Have a Place Many people who complain that they can't buy really fresh vege- tables, don't realize that they can and should grow some of these themselves even if only a tiny city garden is available. In the latter case, of course, no one'is serious- ly suggesting that they could grow a winter's supply of potatoes or even any of this vegetable and many others that take up quite a bit of room. But there are sev- eral vegetables that can be grown in amazing quantity and take up practically no room at all. From a patch of ground not more than 10 to 15 feet square it is possible to keep a small family supplied all summer with lettuce, radish, carrots, beans, onions, beets, even a few tomatoes. The first named, lettuce, radish, carrots, etc., can be grown in rows a foot apart and a couple of inches each way in the row, and in most parts of Canada at least two and sometimes three or four successive crops in one season are possible. It is a .wonder- ful convenience to have a small vegetable garden right at the back door and the extra quality and freshness will well repay the little trouble necessary. Of course in these highly concentrated gardens, it is well to cultivate and water frequently and we encourage quick growth with a good commercial fertilizer.

Dairy Producers Urge Full Co-operation The Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers Marketing Board execu- tive was instructed to co-operate fully with the other three dairy producer organizations in Ontario, in developing an overall, workable, milk marketing plan. This action was taken unanimously by dele- gates to the concentrated milk pro- ducers' annual meeting in Ottawa. Delegates felt that the dairy pro- ducer groups should use the re- search work completed recently on Ontario milk marketing problems, by the producers' special study committe. Dayid L. MacFarlane, Professor of Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, McGill University, and a member of the study group, was present at the meeting to dis- cuss his committee's work. The study group recommended the establishment of a central pro- ducer board, with representation from Ontario's four producer groups—the Ontario Cream Pro- ducers Marketing Board, The On- tario Concentrated Milk Producers Marketing "'Board, The Ontario Cheese Producers Marketing Board, and a fourth marketing group to represent the Ontario Whole Milk Producers. This central board was suggest- ed as the first purchaser of all milk produced in Ontario, and would be responsible for any eq- ualization or supplementation of producer prices. The board might be financed by a deduction on all milk shipped to, markets, and any price supplementation would be' done from a separate equalization - fund. Earlier in the day. delegates heard Don B. Goodwillie, Chief of the Merchandizing Section, Dairy Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, outline the possibilities for marketing milk abroad in the coaling year. Mr. Goodwillie was pessimistic about exports, saying "From Canada's viewpoint export markets today are not good and there is nothing to indicate they are going to improve at least for the next few months." He said that in recent years Can- ada has exported more milk in concentrated. milk products, than in any other form. But prospects for heavy milk production in 1961 for the main dairy countries are reported to be excellent. Many of these countries are able to under- sell Canada on price, making it difficult for Canadian producers. For example, a year ago the U.S.A. export price on dry skim milk was 10 cents a pound. Today it is close to seven cents. It is subsidized by almost seven cents by the U.S.A. government. This means that if Canada is to export any volume in 1961 a price of sev- en cents must be met, and if not, then Canadian exports of dry skim milk will have to be cut in half. While there was evidence that concentrated milk shippers would go along with an overall marketing plan in the province, it was also clear at their annual meeting, that if such a "plan was not developed, action would be directed toward' reducing the flow of surplus fluid milk to their market. At Ottawa last week, the Concentrated Milk Producers Marketing Board was instructedby resolution to take such action as was necessary to bring about a larger differential between the price paid for milk from bona fide concentrated milk shippers and the milk from whole milk shippers, unless an overall milk, marketing plan was devised. Delegates believed a wider differ- ential would discourage whole milk shippers from keeping much larg- er herds of cows than was neces- sary to supply their own market. Kippen WI Hears Crediton Speaker Mrs. Wilfred Mack of Crediton, was guest speaker at Kippen East Women's Institute March meeting, speaking on "Food and agricul- ture organizations and part of the economic and social council of the United Nations." Her talk was most interesting and informative. The meeting held Wednesday af- ternoon, March 15, was held at the home of Mrs. Verne Alderdice, with Mrs. Russell Brock co -hos- tess, and Mrs. James Drummond, president, in charge of the meet- ing. Members answered the roll call by naming a Canadian city, starting with the initial of ttheir first name, and told what the city was noted for. Mrs. Robert Bell reviewed cur- rent events. A bus trip was dis- cussed, to be arranged by the com- mittee, Mrs. W. J. F. Bell, Mrs. Alex MacGregor and Mrs. Harry Caldwell. The annual picnic will not be held this year. The date for the district annual is May 11, at St. Andrew's United Church, Kippen, with discussion on same. Family Night will be held in November. Penny for Friend- ship collection will be taken at the April meeting. Luncheon was served by Miss Margaret McKay, Mrs. James Mc- Naughton, Mrs. Wilmer Broadfoot and Mrs. Stewart Pepper.
