ROSE CULTURE
By E.C. HARVEY
Roses, being woody, are not
heavy feeders. Newly planted
roses do not need fertilizer un-
til the growth is around six
inches long.
For established bushes I give
them bone meal the first week in
June and again the first week in
July. In addition, when I a m
spraying weekly with insecticide
and fungicide I add liquid fer-
tilizer every other week through
June and July. If you prefer
you can use bone meal three
times, say June 1 and 25 and
July 20, and no liquid fertilizer.
If you apply bone meal at the
base of your bushes and do not
dig it in, it will cake like lime
and will be of no value. If you
get a heavy shower most of it
will wash away rather than soak
in. On the other hand if you dig
it in you will destroy the small
surface hair roots that grow out
all around the base of the bush.
To overcome both of these
Lisa represents
West Ontario
The little people, who watch
Miss Dorothy's Sunshine School
on week day mornings, will have
a surprise in store for them
Wednesday, May 25 when little
Lisa Hyde from Hensall is going
to be on the show in person to
tell the people there and the
television audience and friends
some things about the disease
cystic fibrosis.
Lisa has been chosen by the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to
be the "Lisa" child comparable
with the "Timmy" for the crip-
pled children's campaign. There
will be other children called
"Lisa" in their own areas across
Canada and the United States.
It just so happens that for Western
Ontario "Lisa" really has for
her own first name Lisa. This
is a happy coincidence.
Lisa, four years of age, is
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Hyde of Hensall.

hazards, I mix one part bone
meal to three parts sand, the
sand prevents the bone meal
from caking or washing away
and the first shower dissolves
the bone meal and it soaks down
to the root. In about three weeks
the sand also has disappeared
and is part of the top soil, which
in most gardens is an advantage.
For H. T. roses one half trowel
of bone meal, which is two full
trowels of the mixture, is ade-
quate for each application. For
Grandiflora or large Floribunda
bushes yoti can add a little more.
Bone Meal is a slow acting fer-
tilizer so it is not advisable to
use it after July,
This same mixture of bone
meal and sand can be used on
tulips, daffodils and other bulbs
in the fall and on peonies, phlox,
columbine, shasta dais i e s, py-
rethrum and other hardy peren-
nials and rock plants as early in
the spring as possible.

News from Hensall
— Continued from page 5
With this week's improvement in the weather,
which we hope will stay for a few months at least,
softball and baseball interest on the local scene is
increasing. Most of the leagues and teams are well
on in organizing and practices are getting under
way.
The only intermediate baseball league in the
area, the Huron-Perth, is holding •a meeting in Hen-
sail tonight, Thursday, to form plans for the coming
year, Last season's prexy, Bob Sadler of Staffa, indi-
cates at least three teams are ready and raring to
go. Dashwood, Zurich and Walkerton are definite
entries with the possibility of a fourth club from
Staffa or Mitchell. According to Sadler, players are
scarce in his area and 'a meeting is being held this
week to determine whether a club will be entered.
There are rumors afloat that several of the experi-
enced Mitchell-Staffa players are trying out with the
Stratford senior Intercounty club.
In minor baseball ranks locally, Alvin Willert
reports pee wee and bantam teams from Exeter have
been entered in WOAA play. A meeting to draw up
the schedules for these two groups is being held in
Clinton, tonight, Thursday.
Local house leagues for other boys and girls
in minor ball ranks will be set up as soon as the
diamonds become playable. Willert also asks for
volunteers to coach the local pee wee and bantam
entries.
Minor clubs in various age brackets will again
be formed in other area towns such as Hensall, Lu-
can, Dashwood and Grand Bend.
GREYS PRACTICE
The Exeter Greys are holding their first work-
out tonight, Thursday at the Exeter Community
Park and any girls or ladies in the area are urged
to try out as lots of positions are open on the club.
Business manager Grace Farquhar reports an entry
has been sent to the WOAA and the club will likely
again participate in the southern division of the
Huron ladies' softball league, in addition to WOAA
play-off activity. Also needed to help the Greys'
cause is anyone interested in assisting in a coaching
or managerial position. The members of last year's
Greys team got together at a banquet last week to
organize for the coming season. Red Loader is again
expected to coach a junior girls' team and will begin
practices later on.
Gil Burrows, convenor of the Exeter and dis-
trict Rec softball loop sends along a message that
all of last year's clubs are raring to go again with
the possibility of another team or two being added.
Crediton, Kinsmen, Legion and Bowling Lanes are
definite starters and rumors have the Exeter Teen
Town fielding an entry. If any other play-for-fun
clubs in the area are interested in joining this
league, they are asked to contact Burrows within
the next week or so.
SOFTBALL CHANGES
Recent changes by the rules committee of the
Ontario Softball Association are to be in effect for
the coming softball season. The pitching plate will
be moved back on most diamonds to a point 43 feet
from the plate, an increase from the previous dis-
tance of 40' 81/2 inches. The batter will have the ad-
vantage of having a little longer look at the ball on
the way to the plate but will have to run five feet
farther in. 'completing the 60 foot distance from one
base to 'another. To offset this increase in the •length
of •the base paths, the runner will have the oppor-
tunity to leave the base when the pitcher releases
the ball and not when 'it reaches the plate as in
previous regulations.
FISH?
The opening of the pike and pickerel season
locally over the weekend was very quiet due mainly
to the efforts of the weatherman. It was the fish and
not the fishermen that were lacking in enthusiasm.
High and dirty water 'inmost of the area rivers and
streams accounted for the scarcity of good catches.
While talking of fishing, it might be wise to mention
that conservation authorities in Ontario will be crack-
ing down on persons wasting food fish. Anyone
found throwing suckers, carp, smelt or other food
fish out on the shore and leaving them to die will
be liable to a fine.
BOWLING ENDS
The local five-pin bowling leagues have com-
pleted all their play-off activities and only two ban-
quets remain on the menu. The Unpredictables, led
by captain Stan "The Man" Frayne took the Men's
"A" title and went on to 'down the Windmills in a
close series for the grand championship awards. The
Hot Dogs, captained by Shirley Darling, took the
ladies' grand title downing the Handicappers, "B"
winners. The only Exeter entry, a group of junior
boys and girls, failed to bring home any team awards
from the Lake Huron Minor Bowling tourney in
Walkerton Saturday. All was not lost as one of the
local keglers, Glenda Fisher, was awarded a trophy
for rolling the high triple in her division.
ODDS n ENDS
Manager Hank Bauer of the Baltimore Orioles
may have inadvertently caused 'the sales of score-
cards at his Memorial Stadium to drop off. Through
the first 14 games Bauer had started exactly the
same batting order, with the exception of the pitch-
ers. He had not used the platoon system in any way
up to this time. After 12 victories in 14 games and
23 home runs produced by his hitters, why change
a winning combination,
White Sox pitcher Tommy John had a new
nickname after Washington's Frank Howard had
slugged a gigantic 480 foot homer off him in D.C.
park and John's teammates now refer to him as
"LBJ". It stands for "Long Ball John".
The hottest hitter in baseball so far this year
has 'to be Duane Josephson, catcher for the Indian-
apolis Indians of the American Association. In the
opener of a doubleheader in Tulsa on April 27,
Josephson slammed a long drive to the outfield that
struck the clock on the fence, setting it on fire. The
Tulsa fire department Wag called and quickly ex-
tinguished the blaze.
