The Brussels Post, 1955-06-15, Page 7In qie only. School of its
kind North 4rnerica, 'the
Niagara Parks Commission School
of Gardening, twenty-four ap-
prentices are learning the 'Art,
Trade' or. Mystery" of planting,
soil eulture,and landscaping. With
the greenery' of- Niagara Falls*
Prks as their outkOr classrooms,
these hand-picked students receive
three years of theoretical and prac-
deal training in floriculture,, hor-
ticulture and' allied sciences, Ap-
prentices receive room, board and
tuition flee, and are paid a sub-
'si4enca 'allowance varying with
thbir seniority as stuaents.
Basic purpose of the WO-acre
school, which was opened in 1936,
was turn out qualified gardeners
to work for the Parks Commission.
Since then, school policy has
broadened, an'cl while some grad-
uates now accept positions in
Niagara Falls, the majority work
elsewhere. So great is the demand'
for skilled gardeners, that grads
arc snapped, up eagerly by land-
' scape-minded industries, univer-
sides and civic corporations. "

tetBt Fortune,
Found Father.
Twenty.sbc years, ago the four-
year-old son 01 a contractor was
kidnapped and although the
father Mr* Mehmet Tlepen then.
helping to construct the Mena
Olympus Highway, never gave
up the search for his boy, he
was unable to find: a single trace,
of the child's whereabouts, At
last, broken-hearted, the father -
had to gvie up the search,
Within the past few days, how,
ever, an event in Ankara, at the
Court k of Justice, again brought
the kidnapping back into the
news,
Salmi a 'thirty-year-Old mar.
ried man working,,at an Ankara
factory, made an application to
the Court in order to claim his,
father's fortune. The official
documents Were made out to
apply for an inheritance from
Shukru 13ey, a mechanic and the
believed parent of Saim.
During the hearing et the
Court, Saim was shocked by the
assertion that his mother was
actually a Greek of Anatolian
birth. She had no, children of
her own and brought Seim .from.
a certain Mrs. Moshnak Hayriye
living at Bursa, Poor Saim soon
realized the futility of his claim.
He immediately wrote to a
friend' in Bursa asking for news
concerning lost or kidnapped
children many years .ago, His
friend decided of write to Mr.
Mehmet I-leper, living in Bursa
at the time, for verification of
the loss of his boy.
Saim was informed that on the
17th July, 1,927„ Contractor Meh-
met Heper lost .his son on Mount
Olympus, and since that day nee
,rare of him- has been found. •
Mr. Heper is now the owner of
a large store and factory, He,
almost overcome with excite-
ment, -rushed to Ankara to find
Senn. in the factory. Inspecting
Saim's back and neck .reoles, the
aggrieved father suddenly flung
his arms about his long lost son,.
crying -"My boy! My son!"

Sodium metabisulphite, the
preservative, is in white powder
form and has a variety of uses
in the brewing, food process-
ing, mining, pulp and paper,
and tanning industries.

According to the naanufactur-
ers' farm advisory service, the
use of sodium metabieulplete as
a silage preservative eliminates
the need of the short wilting
perioci to reduce moisture as is
common when no preservative
is used. In fact, no wilting what-
ever is desirable and grass can
be cut in wet weather and
stored at once. 4:
Long-period studies at the
Pennsylvania State College -of '
Agriculture have revealed that
valuable nutrients in the grass
like protein, carotene grid cer-
tain mineral feads, are lost when
handling field-cured hay. Such
- losses run from 20 to 40 per cent
of the feeding value of the hay
and are tensed by shattering,
bleaching and 'rain damage.
These losses are practically ell-.
initiated when grass is Oaf green

Regular paths will add interest
and beauty to any garden, even
in the vegetable patch. Where
treille is heavy such -as. near the
door or a gate, it is advisable to.
use some solid material like
fiagetettea, concrete slabs, bricks
• or cinder, or gravel, fine end well
pressed clewri. With one of these
the main thing is to place firmly
and level with the surrounding
grass, so that the lawn mower
will trim, or better still, run
right over, Where the traffic is:
lighter, one can simply use grass.
It is surprising the amount of
wear well grown and well nour-
ished grass will stand. In many
public gardens grass paths are
used to divide the flower plots
and they are seldom worn thin.
Where cinder or gravel, is used
in paths or driveways one can
eliminate grass and weeds by
sprinkling heavily with rock salt'
or treating with some of the
weed sprays. •
GIVE 'EM ROOM
In almost every ease where
plants are started from seed; one.
especially tiny seed, like lettuce
or alyssum or poppies,. they must
be thinned later. In doing this,
naturally we pull out the poorer
specimens first but in any caSe,
we must leave plenty of room.
If we are afraid of later damage
from bugs or cutworms perhaps.
we will leave twice as many
'plants • as at first, then later on
we remove every other one.. In
certain vegetables, like beets and
carrots, too, we leave the plants
about an inch or so apart at
first, then use later thinnings for
our first meals, When thinned
properly the plants left will
grow more quickly, and should
be healthier,
Thinning is not always con-
fined to seedlings. The extra big
and fine blooms you usually see
in the flower shows are often the
result of thinning. Only in this
case it will be the flower buds
that are removed. Instead of let-
ting every single rose, peony or
dahlia develop, the professionals
nip 'off about' fifty per cent or
more of the buds so that those
. that are left will be finer and
bigger. The same thing is done
with fruit like apples, plums and,
peaches for big prime results.
FOR ANOTHER YEAR
It's a good idea to keep a note-
book and list certain jobs we are
going to do next year. We should
also jot down such items as
colour and season of bloom,
height, resistance to disease and'
drought, and of course, the name
of any flower or shrub we see
growing in a neighbour's garden
that we hope to have in our own.
With certain lines of nursery
stock, most shrubs, trees, vines,
etc., one can buy and plant in
the fall just as well as next
spring, , By doing this we "get
these established earlier and save
tithe for other tasks next, yeaie •
prOtein concentrates are re-
quired.

capsules sealed inside the en-
gine. The reaction •produces a
gas. The composition of the cap-
sules is Mr. Windrum's secret,
but he claims that the main in-
gredient is found all over •the
world and costs practically
nothing. A teaspoonful is enough
to run the motor for several
days.
The invention will even drive
a car. A larger motor has been
built under licence. It was
placed on a car chassis and was
able to propel it along the floor,
using hot water as the source
of heat.
Only a very small amount of
gasoline — less than a twelfth
of what is normally used in'a
ear — is needed to keep the heat
to the required level. ,
