For this a good lawn is indispensable, the smoother, greener and . finer the better.. Far too many people think that a lawn will look after itself. It will not any more than a vege- table or flower garden. It should get .the same close attention, the same care in feeding and mainten- ance. If it does it will give every bit as much satisfaction. In these articles you will be reading more about the lawn and its importance. First Plantings Nothing is gained and much can be lost by rushing the season and trying to work soil while it is still damp and sticky. While most vegetables and flowers can be planted a little later than usual and will do almost as well, if we put them in too soon they .will either freeze to death or get such a setback that they will be per- manently checked. But, of course, there are a few exceptions to every rule. Some very hardy things like sweet . peas, grass seed, the first garden peas, shrubbery, trees and many herbaceous perennial roots, should be planted in the spring just as soon as the soil can be dug without puddling. These are cool weather loving plants and hey must get well started before he summer heat. In very .mild parts of the country these things re planted or set out in March nd elsewhere not later than April r early May. • r. ASSVRAN" cC4 "rSIA,/dd9: Nf 1,0,9 ICE'4,47:ERL0r0.07,4R/0 E. M.

PINE STREET FIRE Several hundred dollars in dam- age was done by a fire in the furni- ture work shop of Charles Anstay, Pine street,' about 11 a.m., Satur- day. Mr. Anstay had put a fire on in the stove and left to do work elsewhere. Ten minutes after he had left, Mrs. Anstay noticed smoke and tried to get into the two-story building to save valuable tools but fire and smoke prevented her from doing so. Whether the stove pipes fell down or not, caus- ing the fire, Mr. Anstay does not know.

Miller congratulated the members on the project they have completed. The new building, which is situ- ated in the south-western section of the town, lies on eight acres of land. It is a frame building cov- ered with insul brick -and is lined with plywood. A great deal of the labor was done by a group of mem- bers who donated their time. Guest speaker was Edward Mea- dows, Heveler, district inspector for the Department of Lands and Forests. -Gordon Li ds y &nith`�• Keep It Simple The most effective and impres- sive garden layouts, and especially for non-professionals, are the in- formal ones. Th}j does not' mean that shrubs, flowers, trees and lawns are put in helter skelter. Far from it. Some of the finest and most costly gardens in all Canada are decidedly in the in- formal category but into them goes the most precise and long term planning. The famous Butchart Gardens of British Columbia are of the informal type and much of the beautiful grounds around the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, as well as, about the Federal Par- liament Buildings and the famous driveways of Ottawa, One doesn't see long straight rows of flowers or square flower beds there. Most of the planting is done in clumps, with sweeping but irregularly shaped lawns as a foreground to massed beds of flow- ers and groups of shrubbery. And there is a deliberate "opening up" effect. You can't see everything from any central point,* Shrub- bery, trees and other natural screening is brought forward here and there so that each turn in the path or each rounded corner of lawn reveals another view. Even in the smallest garden it is usually possible to get this same result' even if we only bring a few larger shrubs or flowers forward a bit to screen part of the back, and invite visitors to explore i farther. General Principles In planning a general layout small or large, there are some good general and fundamental rules to keep in mind. First of all we should know something about the final height of the flow- ers, shrubs and trees and in gen- eral keep the smaller things in the front, so all may be seen. Color and time of blooming should be noted to prevent clashes, though nature can mix these things more pleasingly than can man. But more serious than color clashing j is no color at all. By checking • with the seed or nursery catalogue for the time of blooming it is possible to have a succession of flowers from the earliest snow drops in the spring until the last t chrysanthemums in the fall. I t Another general rule mentioned previously is to avoid straight rows a wherever possible with flowers and a shrubs but rather to plant in 0 Mae the ckiiqe Mat thoisans air ificdiflg 4/ Really sets you up for the day - CROWN BRAN CORN SYRUP a.. � on ur:\ .r ,�realcfast cereal r .7 I .

FACT PICKUP CANADIAN farmers know the struggle, at maple sugar time, of - hauling the sap to the sugar 'house —especially if there has been an early thaw. So we were interested `in hearing how one farmer, who used aluminum- tubing for sum- mer ifrigation, also used it as a spring pipeline to carry the sap from his trees to the sugar house some distance away. Light, strong, easily handled aluminum has a .way of stimulat- ing people's ingenuity in their search for short cuts that will save t hem time and money. Today more than a thousand different Cana- dian tirms are manufacturing ar- ticles made from aluminum supplied by Mean.
