Every red ligious order in the diocese was represented with a beautiful dis- play. Movies were shown, talks were given, and pamphlets were distributed, describing the various religious. orders,. and we left with a broader knowledge of the work of the priestsand sisters through- out the world. On our return trip we visited St. Peter's Seminary and Christ the King College, and arrived back' in Dublin at 5 o'clock.

Today there are many farmers who accept pas- tures for what they are and not for what 'they could be, with the cdn- sequence that most of our pastures are producing at less than 50 per cent of their capacity. The'benefits from fertilizing pas- tures are apparent from the re- sults of trials conducted over sev- eral years by the Division-sf Field Husbandry, General Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and at several of the Branch farms in Eastern Can- ada. In the Ottawa district on the basis of forty different fertilizer trials conducted over several years, fertilized pastures produc- ed, on an average, 63 per cent more herbage on a dry weight basis„than unfertilized areas. Fer- tilizer also improved the composi- tion of the herbage by increasing the clover stand by 50 per cent and decreasing the weed popula- tion by about 30 per cent. In the Province of Quebec at Lennoxville, Ste. Anne de la Poca- tiere and Normandin, average in- creases of approximately 45, 55 and 62 per cent respectively were obtained by fertilization. In the Maritime Provinces at Fredericton, N.B., Nappan, N.S., and Charlottetown, P.E.I., fertiliz- ed pastures produced over 50 per cent more herbage than unfertiliz- ed pastures. Among the factors to be consid- ered, in determining the kind and quantity of fertilizer for any par- ticular crop are the nature of the soil and the previous treatment of the land. Information relevant to soil texture, drainage, lime require- ments, and the availability of plant food constituents is -most helpful in deciding the fertilizer needs of a crop. Some of this information can be obtained from an analysis .of soil from the area. It is not possible to suggest any one fertilizer for all soil and cli- matic conditions. In general, phosphorus is usually required on clayey soils where clovers normal- ly grow. Where clovers are not adaptable fertilizers containing nitrogen are generally recommend- ed. Potassium is frequently need- ed for sandy soils. A liberal initial application of not ,less than 500 pounds of a comiilete fertilizer will generally be the most economical, followed by similar treatments ev- ery two or three years with more frequent nitrogen applications. Although barnyard manure is ordinarily used on crop land, its value for use on pastures should not be overlooked. Fertilizer recommendations may be obtained from the Provincial Department of Agriculture. The nearest Experimental Farm or Agricultural School may also have recommendations of more immedi- ate local value.

And since about 17 Million tons of manure are produc- ed in Ontario annually, the benefit of manure to crop value runs into millions of dollars, says Prof. Nor- man Thomas, Soils Department, Ontario Agricultural College. The application of manure to the land, • returns at least a partial amount of the plant food removed by cropping. It also assists in maintaining the organic matter which is vital in creating the nec- essary activity within the soil. From $150 to $250 worth of plant nutrients are sold off annually in farm produce on the average 100 to 200 -acre farm. This means that the soil is becoming slowly deplet- ed in fertility. There is an additional loss of fertility in the handling of the manure, and this loss can be cut down through the use of god stable floors, good storage facilities such as concrete yards or pits, and good hauling to the fields, either by spreading the manure directly or by placing it in large compact heaps for future use. The loss of the nitrogen in man - use to the air as ammonia can be curtailed by the use of adequate bedding and the daily sprinkling of 20 per cent superphosphate in the gutters or pens. This action unites the ammonia compounds in the manure with the calcium phos- phate or gypsum in the superphos- phate, forming ammonium sulphate which remains relatively unchang- ed. The application. of "superphos” also yields other benefits. Farm manure contains twice as much nitrogen and potash as phosphor- us, and by increasing the phos- phate in the manure the value or efficiency of the manure is in- creased, because most Ontario soils are low in available phosphorus. Paso, stable sanitation is improved through the reducing of odours, with the "superphos" acting as a sterilizing agent. Much research work has estab- lished the fact that manure rein- forced with "superphos" will re- duce higher crop yields than ord- inary manure, especially when ap- plied to fields intended for corn, mixed hay, or fall wheat. "Superphos" can be applied in the barns daily in the gutters and walks, box stalls, and pen barns. For best results, the phosphate should be thoroughly mixed with the manure, rather than just spread over the manure heap or on the spreader when going to the field. The thorough mixing of the phosphate with the organic matter of the manure prevents "soil fixa- tion" of the phosphorus, and thus makes the phosphorus available to the plant over a longer period of its gtowth. It also increases the efficient conservation of nitrogen. The use of 20 per cent phosphate in stables should be looked upon as a long-term soil fertility prac- tice, states Prof. Thomas. It is not intended to replace commer- cial fertilizer. Spring grains and fall wheat should still have the benefit of commercial fertilizer, if just to start the crop off well. Gen- erally -peaking. a little manure and a 'ittle commercial fertilizer are be ' r than either alone. With regard to the rate of apoli- cation of manure, light and fre- quent applications (say six to eight 'tons per acre every two or three years )are more efficient than heavy, infrequent applica- tiolis l say 12 to 15 tons every 10 years', states the O.A.C. authority.

The Federation also stressed strongly the need for early pass- age of federal land use legisla- tion that would make possible an early beginning on federal -provin- cial co-operation in this field. Terming the 'government's use of the prices support act a "mini- mum" program that is not achiev- ing the objectives . 9f ....thy. ,Acti11. keeping farm returns in relation- ship with those in other industries, the Federation asked for greater use of the Aet, and specifically' in- creased and improved supports to the producer on eggs, a support program for fowl and turkeys, ade- quate supports on skim milk pow- der and careful .study of the pres- ent declining level of butter pro- duction which may possibly re- quire a higher support level if the stability of the industry and of the consumer price is to be pro- tected. Farm credit needs were describ- ed by the Federation brief as among those "uppermost" in the minds of farmers. The operation of the Canadian Farm Loan Board was described as unnecessarily cautious and conservative, both as regards appraisal practices, and percentage of appraised values loaned out on first mortgages, Al- so needed, the Federation said, is a system of emergency loans on an interest-free basis for farmers seriously handicapped by natural disasters such as flood. frost, etc. The Federation stressed t hat °ederal legislation to enable pro- ducer marketing boards to accum- ulate funds for carrying on equal- ization and orderly marketing pro- grams was indicated by the recent decision of the Supreme Court.

"We must always remember," she said, "that we are here to help others." Bobby, aged six, thought about this for a while and then asked, "Well, what are the others here for?" - The new minister was being en- tertained ntertained for dinner When all were seated at the table, father, expecting Junior to repeat the grace, asked: "What do we say, Tommy,,,before we eat?" "Go easy on the butter; it's 60 cents a pound." The lush's wife trailed him to his favorite tavern. Standing at the bar next to him, she ordered a slug of bourbon. Tasting it, she made a wry face. Contempt cov- ered her every feature. "How can you drink that awful stuff?" "See, Honey," he said exultingly. "And all these years you thought I was havin' a good time." Columnists like to poke a little good natured fun at the garden seed catalogpe, with its bright pic- tures and „Alluring descriptions, which comes along just about the time winter has reached its peak. But to tha columnist and the rest of us, a good seed catalogue is as interesting as a good novel at this season of the year, and is much more satisfying reading than many novels, too. For the person with a garden that will be coming to life again in a few short weeks, the seed cat- alogue is really indispensable. With it we can plan, make our gardens more interesting and beautiful and make them more productive. as well. Without the specific informa- tion in the seed catalogue we would be gardening in the dark. A Vital Guide In addition to the bright pic- tures which, by the way, are ac- tual photographs and not the con- ception of some imaginative art- ist, the seed catalogue tells us precisely when. where and which to plant. It informs of the hardi- ness and special likes in the way of soil and locatioh of each flower or vegetable. We then know which will be best and most satisfactory for our particular garden. It also tells us the color of the bloom in the case of flowers' and the days to maturity for the various vege- tables, This again is vital infor- mation in planning. Heights are al- so given of most plants so that we won't have some big flowers hid- ing little ones or try to grow great bushy annuals like the bigger sal- via, zinnias and marigolds in little teeny beds. With the information of the seed catalogue before us we can go ahead and plan and dream a perfect garden. even if it is still 10 below outside. The Central Piece The new gardener is too much inclined to rush the season and get :out digging hardly before the last 1 snow drifts have melted. Much more harm than good results from this haste with most garden jobs. But there is one we can hardly start too soon. That is repairing, rebuilding the Lawn or starting a' brand' new one. Grass grows best when the wea- ther is cool and moist and the sooner the seed is planted in the Spring the better, Of course, we can't or shouldn't start to rake or dig while the soil is the least bit muddy. But even before the last snow- goes we can put up a wire around the lawn to protect it from, wandering children and adults wild should know better. Then a little later we can smooth out any bumps and fill any holes and re -seed. With the new lawn to -be, too. we should start raking and levelling just as soon as the soil is dry en- ough. Grass, it should be re- membered, is a plant just like a flower or vegetable, and if we want it to do well, we plant the best seed available and in good fine soil. We will have more to say about this later on. fieigel,,' br+,:, an,d 'IOW to _ oA straight box ,sty on packet d /Yours at 29.95 tO NEW ALL-WEATHER, COAT "Clever tweeds, flecks.";and slub effects, in smart sun and shower coats, cleverly styled in a wide range of new Spring shades. 25.00 to ' 29.95 Flatteringly pretty straws, } satins and linens, 4n white, yellow, pink, powder, mauve, aqua. red, navy and mint.
