She also gave a splendid address on Institute work in general,,” She said they had accom­ plished SO much during the past 25 years ,;that it was difficult io select any one effort as outstanding. How­ ever, here was one significant fact that had been established during this wonderful and prolonged record and that is, we have shown the world that it is possible for women of many varying classes, of many different op­ inions and trends of thought, of many different shades of politics and of dif­ ferent creeds, to unite in one common effort toward the betterment of con­ ditions in community life. The value of these efforts is apparent not .only in our own country but all over the world where the inspiration of Insti­ tute work is felt. She also stated that no other organization had done as much to raise the standard of public health for the perfect physical devel­ opment of every child, has given the time and study to home economics, home nursing, child welfare, dental clinics, medical inpsection of our schools, prevention of diseases, health | reading on the life and work of the centres, in fact, everything that tends T ” . ’ for better conditions in the commun­ ity life, as our Women’s Institute had done.

Hiram lives in Quentin, a hamlet in the valley of Susquehanna. When the Chevrolet people set out to find the oldest Chevrolet in point of continuous ser­ vice in the United States, the roadster of the Pennsylvania carpenter won hands down, with a few marks thrown in for neatness. The Dohners, Hiram and Mary, take care of things, and their family transportation, even with 250,000 miles registered, was as slick and shiny as a two-year-old. Upkeep had cost $250, including three paintings and a new top. The Dohners were Chevrolet’s guests at Detroit where they were given a 1936 model, a distinguished one, too, for it was the one millionth Chevrolet built in the calendar year 1935. * ■ not obtainable seed may be used. When seeding is practised a good ■ plan is to sift some fairly dry com- ■ post; mix one part red top to four parts Kentucky blue grass; then mix ' these with the sifted soil and sow. This method assures the grass seed ■ of covering. Seed should be sown as ■ .early as possible to get the advant­ age of all cool and moist conditions. ■ Wherever heaving is experienced the use of a heavy lawn roller is benefic­ ial, and for best results rolling should be done when the lawn is wet with­ out being soggy. It should be noted that a light roller is practically use­ less; it may provide good exercise but will follow the contour of the lawn without having any levelling effect. Fertilizing the lawn should be at­ tended to in early spring. A complete fertilizer containing 4% potash is re­ commended, applied at the rate of 4 pounds per hundred square feet. Ad­ ditional nitrogen may be supplied in the form of sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda. The lawns on the Dominion Experimental Station, Har­ row, usually receive 2 applications of sulphate of ammonia, one pound to one hundred square feet, in addition to the spring application of complete ■ fertilizer. Ammonium sulphate is us­ ed in preference to nitrate of soda to counteract any probable alkaline re­ action of the soil due to constant wat­ ering with well water. In recent years sod web-worms have been present in varying num­ bers. When the number is small birds usually provide adequate control; but 1 it is frequently necessary to apply poison as a control measure. It is ra­ ther early to consider this pest ,but the information is being given so that action may be taken as it is consid­ ered necessary. During a particularly heavy infestation several years ago very satisfactory results were obtain- ' ed by aplying arsenate of lead at the rate of four pounds to forty gallons j of water. This may be somewhat stronger than necessary, but the mat- I crial is not expensive and no bad of- j feet was evident on the grass. When : used as a dust seven and a half lbs. ’ are required for every thousand . square feet. This should be washed, well into the lawn as effective for several chickens have access may be dangerous to lead and it may be advisable to use ; A GOOD LAWN FOR EVERY HOME soil is getting feature it is said to be years.

A good lawn is the major In any home landscape scheme, and work can usually be started before it is advisable to begin digging or any operations which would necessitate working in the soil. If a considerable amount of growth followed the last mowing of the previous season, raking is in order. Besides removing all dead grass and other rubbish, firm use of the rake aerates the soil and eliminates any patches of moss which j may have obtained a foothold on bare patches in the lawn. After the lawn has been thoroughly cleaned, bare patches may be sodded, or if sod is Debts - Debts If you haven’t already sent your list of accounts or notes to KELLY & AIKEN THE COLLECTION SPEC­ IALISTS, At ORANGEVILLE, ONTARIO, Mt would be Wise to do so now. Remember—No Collection, No Charge. Established either a pyrethrum or some other- spray which will poison the worms but is harmless to chickens or dom­ estic animals. When it becomes necessary to wat­ er the lawn it would be well to re­ member that a thorough soaking is- much more beneficial than a light daily sprinkling. It is claimed that when sprinkling is practised during, the day, the ground i$ hot with the- result that the water does not pene­ trate more than an inch or two. This- causes shallow rooting of the grasses- and necessitates frequent watering. Suggestions on matters pertaining: to the making and maintenance of lawns will be offered to interested parties on application to the Domin­ ion Experimental Station at Harrow.
