4f c41,t,T$e Where MAO. lives in the colt!:
er sec.titinit of Canada it is also aetf-
essary to get hard'Y plants and early
bloenters,: To mention only a few--,-
,cosat04 marigolds, zinnias, petunias,
portulaca, nicotine,, :spider. ,plant, call-
endula,+?i alyssum, stocks, etc., are.
easily wn almost anywhere in the
Dominion;' Some of the taller grow-
ing things can be used ip place "'of
shrubs for background, with the little
ones .along the front • of the 'beds for
edging. In any good seed catalogue,.
heights of plants are always, given.
`'B'eeds should be started -early and
in , finely prepared soil:: Plants are
transplanted to. permanent quarters
when they are well established with
several sets of leaves: Ready start-
ed bedding plants can be bought from
the seed store or greenhouse mats.
For husky growth, tali things like
cosmos, gladiolus, dahlias, giant mari-
golds and zinnias should have, abort
two feet each way—petunias and simi-
lar things need about a foot. `
The real secret of tender vegetables
is first, get them right out., of your
own garden just before they go.into
the pot or salad, and, second, grow
them quickly wt.4hout any setbacks.
The first point most people know, the
second not so well," but it is just as
important.
To get this quick,: unchecked
growth !Weans planting at the proper
time, not too early with terfder things
that frost or cold weath'er may check,
and then they, must be harvested
when just right. Old gardeners push
growth along quickly with plenty of
cultivation, fertilizer and water when
necessary, and if possible. They also
spread sowings crit over at least sev-
eral weeks so that young stuff is 'com-
ing along continueusty. Another
trick they use is to plant several dif-
ferent types — an early •maturing
sort, a" medium and a 'late. In the
seed catalogue usually will be listed
the number- of days to maturity, Thus
one can purchase, say, peas that will
be ready for the table in '50 days. -
stunts, in 60 and some in 70: Br using
some of all three there will be a suc-
cession of good crops instead of a
regular' feast followed by a famine.
Most experienced gardeners continue
making sowings of carrots, beets.
beans, Iettuce and spinach from the
time the ground is first ready up to
mid-July.
Planting Groups. •
Most vegetables divide t.hert'iselves.
into three main planting 'groups. In
the first are the hardy sorts. These
are planted just` as soon as the soil
can be prepared regardless of the
weather ahead. They will stand a
little frost, and for best results they
must make their first growth while
the'weather is still cool and wet. In
this class are peas, the first onions,
rearret,S. ad $ radlnh,'4l?ma•4
lettuce,
1'eXt here aro the emuui>"hardr
things 1.1i ee potatoes, the grst conn.,
(beans and cabbage: These will stand
cool weather but very little frost. At
the end of the line are very tender
plants that can stand no frost at all,
such as Melons, cucumbers, tomatoes,
pumpiciTh , There is no object in
`Planting' 'these until both soil and, -air
are warm.
Why tot Them Ran It?"'
There is- one thing that any gar-
dener can be absolutely sure of thriv-
ing, and that is pests_ No matter
what the weather, weeds, insects and
diseases are'. sure, to, arrive. In re-
cent years, too, these, enemies seem
to be increasing. Fortunately, how-
ever, measures of dealing with them
are also increasing.
' Speaking very generally, the best
cure is a healthy, well -cultivated gar-
den. Where flowers, vegetables,
grass and shrubs are kept growing
they will be less subject to attack.
Good:; cultivation ' a1 4e .is a wonderful
cure and 'reasonable fertilizing, es-
pecially with the weed -free, coll}mer-
cial fertilizer, is also a safeguard.
On the market today' are all sorts
of good weed killers and destroyers
of bugs and• diseases. The. new DDT
dusts and sprays will handle many of
these pests and the new 2-4-D will. al-
so handle a wide range of weeds, Be-
ginners are advised .to look into some
of these new developments, By fol-
lowing directions they will save them-
selves a lot of extra work and disap-
poiutment.`There are many low-pric
ed dusters and sprayers available for
applying these chemicals. One point
that .the experienced gardener will
always emphasize is to get control
measures • underway. just as soon as
the first bugs, disease -or weeds. ap-
pear. It is much easier . to check
these pests before they get' really
established.
Thinning ,
•••-.
common mistake of the new gar-
dener is to sow seed too thickly and
to allow plants to grow too close to,.
gether. Petunias, .cosmos, zinnias
and other fair -sized -flowers should be
thinned to at least 10 inches, apart.
Corn - cucumber,:, melons and other
•things grown in individual hills should
els obe thinned to not more than
three or four plants. Crowded plants
will be weak' and spindly.

SERVING CANADIA-NS'
THROUGH CHEMISTRY
IT DOESN'T
MEAN A THING.. TO MEP.
•
11? YOU WERE a . farmer it might seem that
way at first glance. But take another look!
Those fine crops, which mean so much
to Canada's health and economy, often '
depend upon chemical fertilizers.
Weed and pest destroyers, orchard sprays
too, are but a few of the services that
chemical research extends to agriculture.
Through good times and, had, the
chemical industry plows a' straight
furrow, ever moving forward to create
better things for farm industry and
home. Look to chemistry with confidence
for a finer future ... and to the C -I -jam

Prepare For Visit To Hur-
on of Missionary From
' Indra.
The members 'ot "'!,lie' executive et
Huron Presbyterial W.M.S. of the
Presbyterian Church in Canada ,met
in Clinton Presbyterian Church Rn
Tuesday, May 13, to hear reports'. of
the W.M.S. Synodical meeting held
recently at Stratford, and to plan the
work of the Presbyterial.
Representatives were present from
Auburn, Clinton,_ Goderich, Hensall,
Exeter and Seaforth, and the meeting
opened with a devotional period of
meditation and prayerconducted by
the Presbyterial president, Mrs,' G.
Bisset.
The col responding secretary, Miss
B. Campbell, of Seaforth, gave an ex-
tellent summary of the Synodical
meeting, the first of its kinds, with
235 delegates, attending.
It was stated that there was a
wealth of material in this year's stu-
dy boo!: on -India, and members were
urged to do their utmost to make W.
M. S. meetings really interesting.
Suggestions from _department secre-
taries included requests ,for magaz-
ines and jig-saW puzzles for mental
hospitals, books and magazines for
Frontier College, and that good wis-'
siolnary,•.literature be .passed on to-
the
othe home helpers.
A decrease in "Glad Tidings" sub-
scri1tions was noted, and as Huron
had tlie. best record it was suggested
that it might lead the way in an .in-
crease of subscriptions next year.
Mrs. G. Bisset gave some items of
interest ,from an address by, Mrs. A. -
R. McMurrich, of Toronto, on "New
Trends in Missionary -Work." Busi-
ness men are gaining valuable infor-
mations from missionaries on fur-
lough from foreign countries and this
is greatly appreciated. The nursery
school in Vancouver, and the meetings.
for the mothers of the children are
proving very worthwhile, and are op-
ening the way to wider avenues -of
Christian • service. St. Margaret's
girls' ,eent:re in Toronto is helping
girls whose homes are broken up for
various reasons to • get training that
will fit them to be good citizens. Mrs.
McMurrich also spoke of the work
being opened up again in Formosa
and China and asked for the prayers
of all W.M.S. members for the mis-
sionaries over there.
Mrs. Dunlop moved a vote of thanks
to the president and secretary for
their fine reports, and. in the business
session which followed the treasurer's
report showed a balance in the gener-
al fund of $680.50, an increase on, last
year. •
Plans were made for the visit to
Huron of Miss M. Williamson, who is
on furlough from India. She will ad-
dress the Arthur Circle of Knox
Church, Goderieh, on Monday. even=
ing, May 19, ,then address meetings
in Seaforth, Clinton, Exeter and Blyth
during the week. India is 'very much
in the news these days, and' her mes-
sage should be of interest to all the
women of the church.
. A number of suggestions were re-
ceived from Mrs. C. H. McDougall, of
Strathroy, for the benefit of press
secretaries. She stated that it was
not sufficient to say "There was an
inspiring address," when one mean-
ingful quotation or heading, will cre-
ate.interest for the reader.
"Ask.yaurself• Is there anything in
this report that as I read it would
make me sorry I missed. the meeting,
or' does it give one the impression—
'Same old thing; I didn't miss much.'
"Let ,us try to let the reading pub-
lic know that those who were not
there missed something. Your just
saying it wasa splendid. meeting
isn't enough. Try telling what it was
that made it se."
The• Mission Ban1 rally will be at
Exeter this year; the fall rally of the,
Presbyterial at Seaforth, and the
Presbyterial will pay the expenses for
a girl from Clinton to attend Kintail
Camp.
Greetings were received from Mrs.
Fox, of Clinton, daughterof. the first
Presbyterial president; and. from Mrs.
H, Arnold," of Hensall, the only re-
maining.charter member, and sincere
sympathy was extended. to Mrs. J. C.
Greig, of Seaforth, who' has recently
suffered bereavement in the death of
her husband.
The meeting was brought to a close
with prayer by Mrs. A. Taylor:
