Good Will Club Sponsors
Good Friday Musicale
The twilight musicale staged on
Good Friday in Wesley -Willis
United Church under the auspices
of the Good Will Club of that
church was a delightful event..
Rev, Hugh C. Wilson was chair-
man of the ,program featuring
music by pupils of CDCI and of
the Public School,
The various musical numbers
were given against a background
formed by the CDCI choir dressed
in white blouses and shirts, with
dark skirts and trousers. The
choir itself presented five numbers
under the direction of George
Tovell, teacher of music at CDCI.
Other numbers on the program
included an organ and piano duet
by Mrs. A. Rennie and Mrs. J.
Vincent; vocal duets by Rev. and
Mrs. J. E. Ostrom; Mary Liver-
more and Beverley Boyes; piano
duet by Ruth Clark and Diana
Speaight; solos by Jayne Mary
Snell and Beverley Boyes.
During the intermission be-
tween the two parts of the pro-
gram, Rev. T. J, Pitt, Varna, ent-
ertained with a brief address on
Newfoundland, where he served
for several years.
Better Lawns Require
Thoughtful Planning
At the recently held convent-
ion of Ontario Horticultural
Societies, Professor R. J. Bryden,
Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph, gave a talk on "Better
Lawns" which appealed very
strongly to the 700 delegates. .At
this season of the year, his ad-
vice could be of great value to
people in any Ontario commun-
ity.
The professor pointed out that
home owners all over this pro-
vince spend thousands of dollars
annually, building new lawns
or renovating old ones. These
lawns enhance the appearance
of any property. Trees, shrubs
and borders always show to bet-
ter advantage when supported by
a well -kept lawn.
A lawn is put down to last for
many years and must be made
to stand all kinds of wear and
weather. It must have adequ-
ate drainage and sufficient plant
nutrients in proper balance. The
soil must be open so the necess-
ary oxygen will reach the count-
less bacteria which live in it,
and which help to carry on the
process of breaking down organ-
ic matter, building up the supply
of nitrogen and making available
other essential food.
Sand or Clay Soils
Sandy soils tend to be too open
and porous. They do not hold
sufficient moisture to sustain
growth and are apt to become
dried out, leaving the lawn burnt
up in hot weather. When a light
soil is to be prepared for a lawn,
it is necessary to incorporate a
good top dressing soil, high in
organic matter, well decomposed.
This should be mixed with the
lighter soil as well as possible
and not put on in layers.
Heavy clay soils, on the other
hand, have a tendency to become
hard and dry during the heat
of summer, or very wet and
puddly in the spring and fall.
They often lack the presence of
air, because of the hardness, and
hence 'the bacterial' life does its
work insufficiently. This retards
the development of nitrogen and
causes the grasses to turn yell-
ow. To overcome this condition
it is necessary to add enough
sandy material to the clay to
make it more porous. This should
be done when the clay is dry
and the sand should be thorough-
ly mixed with the clay to give
uniformity to the soil thus
created. Material high in organ-
ic matter, such as soil condition-
ers also help greatly in making
porous soil.
Time to Seed
The best time to seed a lawn
is from August 1 to September
15, depending somewhat on lo -
Chemical ';warfare" crews will, soon be in a ction in orchards of British Columbia, Ontario,
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces bringing des truction to pests which take a heavy toll of the
Canadian fruit crop each year. Use of agricultural chemicals has become an essential part of
commercial fruit growing. Shown here is a power sprayer in an apple -orchard applying wettable
sulphur to control apple scab. This is only one of several sprayings recommended during the
growing season. Provincial departments of agriculture and some industrial firms supply free
spray charts to orchardists which advise when fruit crops should be sprayed and which chemicals
should be used.
WEED OF THE WEEK
Commencing next week The
Clinton News -Record will feature
the first of a series of 20 short
articles under the heading "Weed
of the Week."
"To control weeds, we must
know them", A. H. Martin, in
charge of Weed Administration in
Ontario says. Weeds might b.i
classified by their length of life
as annuals, biennials or perennials,
or by their root systems as bran-
ch, tap or creeping or by their
methods of spreading seeds such
as by wind, water, animals and
humans.
Some weds are tall and up-
right; others are short, prostrate
or trailing. Some weeds are pois-
onous to animals and humans
cation. When soil is prepared
at this time the late seeding of
weeds is avoided and the new
grass seedlings have sufficient
time to develop a good root sy-
stem, with top enough to carry
the grass into the winter. Then
in the spring the new lawn
makes sn early growth before
the hot drier season arrives.
How ever, if the seeding has
to he done in the spring, it should
be done as early as is possible,
and on a seed bed prepared the
fall before.
What and How
The amount and kind of seed
to sow depends on the type of
lawn desired. As a rule, three
to five pounds of seed are re-
quired for 1,000 square feet of
lawn. It is well to sow half the
seed in one direction and cross
the sowing with the other half,
to insure uniform distribution of
the seed. After sowing, rake in
the seed lightly and roll. After
rolling, a very light raking
should be made, and a light
sprinkling with a spray, fine
enough not to disturb the seed.
A newly seeded lawn should
not be mown too short the first
season, especially in hot weath-
er, nor should 'the grass be
allowed to grow too long, to
cause too much shading. For a
new lawn it is suggested that
1.1/2. inches is the best length to
leave. This will give sufficient
protection to the young grass
but after becoming well estab-
lished the lawn may be cut to
about one inch. It is best to
leave the cuttings on, as they
develop into the organic matter
needed for future growth.

are allergic to weed pollen (Rag-

cause serious skin irritation (Pois-

It is true that distant hillsides
of Blueweed, clumps of Black -
Eyed Susans or fields of Ox -eye
Daisy add beauty to the landscape
but for the most part, weeds are
unsightly robbers of plant food
and moisture and cost millions of
dollars annually in loss of crop
and in added costs of weed con-
trol in lawns, gardens, roadsides,
fence rows, railroad right of way
and cultivated fields to say noth-
ing of the many thousands spent
annually for the relief of hay fev-
er and poison ivy.
Each article will be prepared by
a member of the Crops, Seeds and
Weeds field staff at O.A.C., Guel-
ph, and will be short, concise and
practical. One weed will be feat-
ured each week giving description,
