Our full name is "The. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea
Company."
But, to most, we're "A&P" for short.
And some friends like to call us "The Tea Company."
Why? Well, when A&P began,
our first product was tea.
You learn a lot about tea
in that length of time.
Today, you can savour the results of all that
experience by tasting one of A&P's fine tea products:
A&P's own Tea Bags, for example
Each bag contains up to 10 of the world's finest teas,
from as many as 5 different countries.
It can take that many to develop our distinct blend.
So now you know why, by some, we're called "The Tea
Company."
If you'd like to know why we're called "Great", shop
A&P this week.

value to home garderners. It
offers an excellent source of
valuable organic matter for im.
proving garden soils. Horticul.
turists with the Ontario Depart.
ment of Agriculture and Food
say it provides a handy die.
posal place for grass clippings
and leaves.
Most type's ofplantrehise can
be used in making a compost.
Included are dead foliage, grass
clippings, discarded fruit and
vegetables, dead annual and per.
ennial tops as well as most
weeds provided they have not
set seed. Avoid using branches
or twigs as they require a very
long time to break down.
The best size for a coin.
post pile should be about six
feet wide and five feet high.
The length will, of course, de.
pend on the material available
but provision should be made
for extension. If both ends are•
open, the decomposed material
may be removed from one end
while fresh material is being
added to the other. A 12-inch
layer of coarse roughage, such
as corn stalks or straw, should
be placed in the bottom Wallow
air to move through the pile
and give good drainage. On top
of this, ,add a six{ inch layer
'Of:'kreei .Waste and sprinkle

pounds per ton of compOst. The
lime aids in organic matter
breakdown and makes the pile
odordree. Continue' building
the pile in this sandwich.like
fashion until the desired height
has been reached. Make a des•
pression in the top of the pile
to collect water. It is extremely
important that, the pile be kept
moist during dry weather, so
it may be necessary to water
it occasionally.
The pile should be turned
once or twice during the de..
composition period, so that the
outer portions are moved to
the center, and• allowed to de.,-
compose more rapidly there.
6owT.liePda,,Y, April g'.3: about 6 P.m. the telephone rang. It was
Lucy
Eric Earl to tell to go out and see the beautiful rain
It would' be• gone by the time Carl could get her transported
to her wheel chair and outside, she pxPlained. HOWever, She.
does like to kiloW of such Phenomena,
Carl ,had suddenlY spied water running from the taps of
the soft water,. system, which he ,had hooked up to the down
pipe from, the eaves on the harn that day.
He was making haste to close them so Lucy •saw the rain-
bow through his eyes.
It was very beautiful a complete arc - according to legend
"A Rainbow at Night is the sailor's delight". So we hope the
weather continues fine!
Carl has been very busy during the past two weeks preparing
and planting his garden.
Of course there are, some things which he thinks it a bit
early to plant. But the lettuce and radish were showing April
21. (Incidentally that was last year's seed.) And Tom Bailey's
lettuce had been up for 10 days.
Lucy poked her nose outside for the first time that day tOdo
a tour of the flower beds. She had no idea that the spring
flowering bulbs were so advanced.
The daffodils were there,by the thousands, nodding 'their
heads in the breeze.
They range in colour from golden to white, orange and so
called red.
But what amazed Lucy was that the early and late varieties
seemed to be all open at once.
"Dick Wellbound is usually in full bloom about May 10 and they
'were out, too. 'And the hyacinths are a mass of glorious colour.
Lucy thought the daffodils and narcissi would be good in this
district this year as• they had such a long, wet curing season
last year.
The only ones• which are a bit late in blooming at "The Hut"
are the hyacinths and daffodils which were late in being planted
last Fall.
Sandi the cat has had such a wonderful time helping Carl
plant the garden. And also do some grafting. Every spring
there is a little bit to do. And this year Lucy and her spouse
are both excited over some Nectarine scions which he put on
German priine stock.
Each day the green lengthens on the buds.
Sandi missed a big fat mole which ran out of the corn shock
when Carl set fire to it.
Sandi had just left to bask in the sheltered spot between the
red and black currants where he apparently surprises the odd
mouse.
"Mr" put up the„Vren boxes April 23 when Mrs. E. Elwood,
Clinton, told him that she'd seen Jenny Wren.
They don't usually appear until about May 10 and so far we
have not seen any. : ?,1
In order to prevent Sandi the cat from bothering those little
song birds, or the raccoons from feasting on the wren family
as they did last year, "Mr." cut a strip of aluminum and put
it around the board which elevated one box, and attached the
other to iron piping. It is up rather high, outside Lucy's window,
so, she hopes that if some male house wren picks it that Mrs.
Wren will not think it too high for her babies to tumble out of
the nest into the world.
Lucy was pleased to observe a cat bird looking over the
fors3• !a in the hedge when she was outside.
She has missed the old pair who used to be so friendly and
follow her, about the garden to sing from the nearest shrub.
At Easter, Douglas Willock reported about 500 grockles and
red. Wipged,„hlackhirds ; roosting in the trees on Aberhart's
or:Atl..tilcomt., (14 4:54",r
And as Lucy writes, she learns that there are hundreds of
blackbirds perched there again. They may have come here to
roost owing to the thunderstorm.
Lucy hopes they are not taking up their abode here waiting
for cherries to ripen.
Those trees will probably be in bloom ere this reaches print.
Another vegetable with an early start this year is asparagus.
It has been reported cut here as early as April 20. So far none
has, shown itself at "The Hut".
"Mr." cut most of the lawn the end of the second week in
April. In Lucy's memory, the lawn was never cut so early nor
was so green as it is this year. It reminds her of Ireland.
We never thought of putting cows out to pasture until about
May 10 - although "Mr." recalls turning his cattle out one
year on April 1,
