They the inescapable for every fruit tree, .While pruning is being done, suck- er growth should be cut out. These tall, thin stems that shoot straight Rep from the brandies into the nen'- tier of a tree should be cut off clean. They are most likely to ap- pear on plum, cherry and old apple trees.

That is to say which sense makes a better job of carrying sympathetic impulses to the brain? Or is there a dif- ference in different people? -What makes me wonder is this: All last week I had been hearing harrowing details by radio of the outbreak of foot and mouth di- sease• Of course it worried ase to think of the dire consequences to the unfortunate farmers its the af- fected area. But it wasn't until I saw pictures in the papers that the it affected the cattle, really bit full rea'ization of the tragedy, as me. There was the huge pit; the poor diseased cattle standing there, unknowingly waiting for the slaughter. That really got me down. And yet, since they had to be killed, how better cou'd it be done? Being herded t o g e t h e r would not frighten the poor beasts because range cattle are used to being run into corrals and herded together in just that way. It was just the expression in their limpid . trusting eyes that got me down. Foot and mouth diecase is a major disaster for Canada -and it will be a little while yet before we know to what extent :t wi'! affect national •economy. The other night Daughter phoned and she was in quite a way about it, partly because it is in the area where we lived when we were out on the prairie. One thing we do know, the people out West will take this disaster in their stride as they have taken others - drought, floods, grasshoppers and early frast. Except, for all this bad news it has been a wonderful week -more continuous sunshine than we have had all winter. Which helped Ice a lot because I was experiencing a few troubles of my own. A cold for one thing, and then I left the lights on in the car and ran the battery down so completely the car wouldn't start at all -just when I specially wanted it, of course. Answering fan mail has also. kept me pretty busy. Not in con- nection with this column but as a result of a recent article in the Fancily Herald and Weekly Star. Yesterday-, to get away front it all, Bob took us over to see the Ford plant near Oakvil'e. That served two purposes -it gave us a bit of an outing and recharged the car battery. When we gut home Partner and I were both so happy in the realiz- ation that our farm is in a quieter part of the country. 'Thank heaven industrial expansion has not yet caught up with us. But since the live on a Queen's Highway there is no telling 11 t soon that day will C p 3r. It was strange looking around the Oakville district. kesidential Oakville has always sways beets so very exclusive, So that now it seems to be entirely out of character. No Y cte a doubt some of the older residents are pretty sick about it. There was not much to see at the Ford plant -except large areas of good,. arable fartn land laid waste where huge shovels and bulldozers had been ,in operation, era i Activities p , Activit es Lave been temporarily sus endc(. We passed the McKendrick farts where the shell of the oldalfalfa processing g plant shod like a ghost of tit i. S -,. the t t ]trirt ) a comparatively 1 FVC [ Y recent past. For a year or two this plant gathered una t ffns alfalfa t from the farmers ,or mules around, and then dried and ground the alfalfa into meal which was thin sllipl,e:rl for export. It was a new "To be quite honest, you're a fool for even wanting to know iti" venture and showed great promise but falling export prices and win- ter killing of alfalfa changed the picture. We wondered if at any time• this industry would be re- vived. We also passed the King Paving Plant where all kinds of heavy road equipment stood ready and begin again their work of ... im- provement or destruction, depend- ing on how you look at it. We passed a farm where a new combine was sitting out in the field -no doubt it had been there all winter. Few farms have facili- ties for housing oversized equip- ment. We notices' a small house, crying out for a coat of paint - with a television aerial that practi- cally covered the roof. We came back to Ginger Farm -and here, too, we saw things that needed fixing -unfinished improve- ments left over from last fall; painting to be done; wood to be gathered -but thank goodness, it is still our home in the country. Save Yourself Steps, Fatigue Disorder, poor equipment and improper use of equipment cause *many kitchen accidents, reports Alberta department of agriculture house specialists. Others are caus- ed by fatigue. When a person is tired, things go wrong, (lands fumble, feet trip and eyes fail to see the possible danger. The bureau of human nutrition and home economics planned and built a kitchen to show homemak- ers how to eliminate fatigue haz- ards. The kitchen is well equipped, arranged and lighted, Extra steps, stoops and reaches which contrib- ute to fatigue are eliminated. In the bureau kitchen every- thing is kept as near as possible to the place it is used most. If certain equipment is used in more than one part of the kitchen it is duplicated at each centre to save steps. faring knives are near the sink, Vegetable knives, measuring spoons and cups are near the unix centre, Pan lids and serving dish- es are near the stove.

Within a fortnight she had not only proved her kinship to the King, but had discovered she was related to twenty noble families, two of which were traced back through the Norman Conquest to link her descent frons the Emperor Charlemagne: Eagerly Miss Watson bought an illuminated script of her family tree and ordered oil paintings on wood ()Utile coats of arms of the Watsons. Lilce 80,000 other over- seas visitors last year, she was a satisfied customer of Britain's queerest export trade, the traffic 1n ancestors. At the offices of the Society of Genealogists, in Bloomsbury, anyone can thumb through a card index of 3,000,000 families for little more than the price of a Cana- dian movie ticket, For a fee of two guineas a day skilled experts are available, adept in reading crabbed handwriting and archaic script, ready to probe the roots of a family through 11,000 parish registers and over 30,000 volumes of history. A Boston business plan was hav- ing snob trouble with neighbofirs who boasted kinship with George 'Washington, A member of the Soc- iety of Genealogists solved his prob- lem by proving his own descent from a much more ancient ancestor, a boy who sailed with the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower. The Boston client was to delighted that he doubled his fees. In Tennessee a librarian named Wallace Jones discovered that Lady Godiva was his great (29 times) grandmother. He was so proud that he spent over $5,000 to travel to Coventry and pay homage at her statue. Then John Shakespeare Hart, of Illinois, went to England to trace his link with William Shakespeare, Within ten days, so efficient are the ancestor hounds, he found hinn'self shaking hands with his distant cousin, Harold Hart, a West Wycombe engineer whose great (9 times) grandmother was the playright's sister. Nor was this all. He even learn- ed that he could claim family ties with the Queen, who is descended from Shakespeare's great -great - great -grandmother) No wonder there's a brisk mail order business in fancily trees an: a certainty that ancestors offer value for money. Only one:.`, Englishman in 10,000 knows his pedigree. One American in 120, hoyvtyer, cherishes a family tree. And, by;the way, do you know that some of your ancestors are now baptized Mormons? The Mor- mons spend enormous sums in the° ancestor trade, for their Church in- sists that all Mormon ancestors should be baptized by proxy. Hard at work in Edinburgh at present, a Utah searcher is methodically combing through 3,500 Scottish parish registers. In Ealt Lake City, standing -in as a proxy, one man has already undergone 3,000 baptisms and the queue at the font now ex- tends back 600 years. 0 SLEEP.
