To Relieve Strain
This year with the war in a
criticalphase, gardens and garden
ing are needed more than ever, Not
only are they needed for providing
essential food, but also aa a use-
fol and pleasaut recreation open to
every citizen of the Dominion, In
the spring one turns naturally to
gardening. Digging in the soil,
solving seeds and watching plants
develop provides a welcome and
needed change when -teesiou Was
never greater, and when many Of.
our normal recreations may be no
longer possible.
Good Seed
There is not a substitute for good
seed. Other factors may be be-
yond control but the gardener has
absolute check over this foundation.
\Vithoiit good seed the garden is
going to be a failure.
Sow Grass Early
.Any yore with intros should be
started just as quftl:ly in the spring
as possible. This does }rat mean
that the soil should be worked while
it is still wet. But once one can
walk over the ground without get-
ting his shoes muddy, then the rake
can be brought into play,
In both new lawns or in patch -
eking, the soil should be raked fine
and revel, .Authorities advise sow-
ing only the highest quality of seed
mixtures, as thick as directions
specify and, of course when there
is no wind flawing.
Both new and old lawns benefit
from rolling while the ground is
still soft, Grass, like any other
plant, needs good soil and an an-
nual application of fertilizer is ad-
visable. This pushes growth so
that many weeds are crowded out.
Layouts
The most effective layout of
flowers, lawns and shrubbery, for
the average gardener, is an informal
one. That is, curved paths and
borders rather than straight lines.
But when we put in these curves,
especially in paths, landscape ex-
perts say, we must be sure to make
a reason for them otherwise the
whole effect will be artifical. At
the bend in the driveway or path,
therefore, it is well to Have a tree
or a group of shrubs or a flower
bed.
In screening, it is not necessary
nor desirable to cover the whole
of fence, wall or garage unless the
same is unsightly. Much more
pleasing results follow where the
shrubbery, vines and flowers mere-
ly break the lines of the ratan -uta':
structures behind then, but lea .e

Necessary F i.r Safety Of Troops
There }vas no 1310031 and thunder
in the remarks Mr. Churchill made
,last weelc about the little neutral
nation on the other side of the St.
George's Channel, says the New
Yorle Times. Secretary Hull show-
ed the sante moderation in his cont-
ments at MS press conference. Pub-
lic
opinion in both Countries will
support these spokesmen. There
can be no feeling int the United
Stites or in Britain against the peo-
plc of Eire.
The problem, as Mr. Churchill
briefly explained it, is a purely prac-
tical one. As long as Axis spies,
with the status of diplomats, re-
main in Eire, close to the scene
of preparation for the invasion of
the Continent, the military plans of
the United Nations are in danger of
being betrayed,
The Time Has Come
Speaking in the House of Com-
mons, Mr. Churchill said in part:
"We have for some time past
taken a number of measures to min=
iutize the dangers arising from a
substantial disservice to the Allied
cause involved in the retention by
Mr. de Valera's government of the
German 'Minister and Japanese
Consul, with their staffs, in. Dub-
lin,
".The time has now conte when
these measures must be strengthen-
ed, and the restrictions on travel to
Ireland announced in the press are
the first step in a policy designed
to isolate Great Britain from Sou-
thern Ireland and also to isolate
Southern Ireland from the outer
world during the critical period
which now is approaching,"
Affect On Union
This isolation of Southern Ire-
land is being undertaken in order
to safeguard United Nations troops.
Specifically, it must be intended to
keep the Germans from knowing
where, when, in what force and by
what means we shall attempt to
land on the European coast, Coun-
less lives 'night he lost if the Ger-
,mans knew the answers. There
would be bitter resentment if the
answer came from Dublin. Irish-
men themselves, "large numbers"
of whom, as the Prince Minister
says, "are fighting so bravely" in
the British forces, would die on
1.110 beaches. The union of all Ire-
land, which tate majority of the
island's inhabitants undoubtedly de-
sire, would be postponed. All
the old wounds would bleed afresh.
Further Action Possible
The travel ban is warmly ap-
proved in Britain as was the :'•,uteri -
NEW RAIL BLOCK SYSTEM
Signal standards at the C.P.R: s White River yard form part of the.
continent's biggest wartime installation of electric automatic block
safety equipment. The system is wheel -rail activated and features
familiar red -yellow -green lights. It brings safer, speedier operation
of 30 trams daily to end .a bottleneck on 250 miles of single track
between the Ontario Algoma rail towns of Chapieau and Schreiber on
main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
can mote aimed at ending Axis
spy activities in Eire, writes the
London correspondent of the Chris-
tian Science Monitor. [inc' the
13ritish people have found it hard
to tolerate a situation in which
Eire has given a privileged position
10 Axis shies; notwithstanding the
fact that Eire's very existence as a
free nation depends on an Allied
victory.
The British Government's state-
ment that military considerations
have forced the latest move to seal
off Eire has increased a sense of
strained expectation which predom-
inates in Britain today as prepara-
tions for invasion dominate all
spheres of daily life.
Further Allied actions against
Eire are being debated in Britain,
such as closing of the border be-
tween Ulster and Eire. Nor is it
felt that the South Irish people
can erpeet much help from Bri-
tain and the United States in their
present acute sliorage of such ne-
cessities as coal and gasoline.
Some Limited Permits
All travel to and from Ireland
won't cease immediately, as exist-
ing short-term permits will still be
valid. But in future only the high-
est priority and special compas-
sionate reasons will permit journeys
across the Irish Cannel. Thousands
of Irish hien and women serving in
the forces and working in British
factories will be for the time being
cut off from home,
Mall and phone communication
will remain, but a tightening up of
censorship is expected as there
have been some laxities in these
services.
Hope For Settlement
Nevertheless so long as German
and Japanese representatives re-
main in Dublin, the Axis has an
advantage for espionage.
Mr. de 'Valera said he turned
down an American request for Eire
to break diplomatic relations with
the Axis because the Dublin Gov-
ernment couldn't da so "without a
complete betrayal of their demo-
cratic trust"
In
some quarters it is still hoped
that Governments of Mr. de Valera
and Britain and the United States
may yet find some way round the
impasse and that better Irish feel -
int for Britain, engendered by
British toleration of Eire's neu-
trality, won't suffer a setback.
Farm Cash Income
At New High Level
Acording to .official estimates, the
cash income of Canadian farmers
reached a new high level in 1943
when the estimated returns from
the sale of farm products totalled
$1,307 million. This represents an
increase of b252 million, or 25 per
cent, over 1042. and is up $014 mil-
lion or 93 per cent, over 1030.
Higher income is reported from
all provinces and with few excep-
tions the increase is common to all
the various sources of income.
The greatest percentage increases
occurred in the Prairie Provinces
where, despite a reduced harvest,
sales from the previous year's crop
were substantial. The returns front
live stock were also substantially
greater in the Prairie Provinces,
particularly in Saskatchewan and
Alberta. Poor crops in the Eas-
tern Provinces resulted in a reduc-
tion in cash income from the sale
of grains in these provinces but the
declines were offset by greater in-
come from the sale of live stock
and live stock products.

Nazis Had Invasion
Force In Greenland
The Germans once had an in-
vasion force in Greenland and flew
plrnes within bomber range of
North American shores, Col. Herat
Balchen, fained flier, and Corey
Ford declare in a recent issue
of Collier's.
They added that Nazi sub-
marines had been refueled in
Greenland.
"You did not know—the facts
could not be revealed until now
— that the Nazis had actually
established a foothold on this side
of the Atlantic.
"You did not ]snow, all last year,
that their planes were flying
within bombing distance of the
shores of North America. Their
submarines, refueling in Green-
land's silent fiords, were striking
at will at our convoys to England
and Murmansk.
"Their welt -_quipped weather
station, on tate Island's undefended
east coast, was in daily radio
communication with Berlin,"
Messrs. Balellen and Ford said
weather information from Green-
land "enabled the trapped Scharn-
ltorst (German battleship since
destroyed in a sea battle) and
Gneisenau to slip out of harbor,
under cover of heavy fog, and pass--
unmolested
