The
most.' important topic
around Queen's Park these days
is .the eBudget—over a billion
n
s dollars and the biggest i the
history of the Province:
Space will not permit me to
go into .complete detail about
this budget,""but it can be said,
1 believe, that it is really an
imaginative blueprint of future
expansion
and prosperity fpr all
p Y P
♦ of us in Ontario,•
The Budget did note that the,
Government intends to make
sure that Ontario agriculture
remains in the foreground- of
development. It was also re-
ported that in 1901 the- yields
• of all major field crops exceed-
• ed the average of the last 10
years__and that farm cash in-
come reached the highest point
in its history. '
I might further observe that
in the year that lies ahead, it
is the intention of your Pro,
vincial Government to strength-
en research and marketing facil-
•
ities. The establishment of the
Agricultural Research Institute,
which will co-ordinate all re-
search undertaken by the De-
partment of Agriculture, is in
my opinion, and I am happy to
say that this opinion is shared
by many, a history making 'de-

GARDEN WORLD GROWS
WIDER
A little while ago we were
wondering what. sort of vege-
tables- grew in our great grand-
• mother's garden: We couldn't
name very many. Even in sum-
mer and early fall variety was
certainly limited in Canada,
and how they got through the
winter without scurvy and good-
ness knows what, is completely
beyond us.
+' But thanks to' the plant breed-
er and experimentalist, we now,
have a wonderful choice and
even if we are beyond the 100
mile wide southerly belt of
Canada where over 90% of the
population are said to reside,
we 'still have quite a selection.
• Fifty years ago, in most parts.
of Canada there was very little
chance for corn, tomatoes, mel-
ons, cucumbers and even pump-
kins, Fifty years ago lots of
Canadians had never tasted
cauliflower, broccoli,
celery,
lima beans, musk melon or any
of the beautiftfI', and • easily
grown squash we have today.
And fifty years ago carrots and
beets had touch cores, celery
had strings, and beans did not.
snap. Not only are the modern
vegetables quicker and hardier
to -grow -and less resistant to -
.
o• disease, but quality, especially
when we get them right ,,,nut of
our own' garden at the kitchen
door, is vastly improved.
Lots of Fowers for a Few Cents
Since the last war, house
builders and town planners
seem to have discovered that
• people like more space outside
than just enough room for a
clothesline and a baby carriage.
At any rate, in the new suburbs
the lots are far larger than they
used to be. And .this is a fine
thing for,the husband or wife
that likes to garden. With a 50
▪ to 100 foot lot we can really
make a big show with flowers
and it needn't be expensive if
we plant our own seed. Of
course if we want a lot of start-
ed plants, ,and want them extra
early it is advisable to make a
hot bed or at least cold frame,
complete directions for which
• will be found in government
bulletins or books on garden-
ing. But if we live in any of
the warmer parts of Canada it
is surprising what •we can da,
simply by planting the seeds
outside in the regular garden.
At least two weeks can be sav-
• ed' if we plant some ofthis seed
•
•
extra early and protect it
right in the garden with some
panes of glass, propped up a
few inches, or clear plastic pa-
per or special waxed paper
covers available in seed stores.
In England gardeners'usual-
ly make a regular practice of
sheltering some of the early
seeding with panes of glass for
a few weeks. This keeps off
frost and cold winds and in-
creases the heat from the sun.
Germination and early growth
are hastened and at least a
fortnight ?is gained in early
bloom or maturity, in the case
of vegetables. Even with the
first of the started plants such
as tomatoes, cabbage or zin-
nias, many commercial garden-
ers protect with paper covers
or glass for the first few weeks.
Early Job
While waiting. for the ground
to dry there is one garden job
that can be tackled any. time.
This is a spring clean up, a
sort of housekeeping of the
flower beds, lawns • and vege-
table gardens. Old b r u s h,
weeds, leaves and other unat-
tractive material should be rak-
ed up. Shrubs, -trees and vines
should be pruned, with all dead-
wood- removed,- and any .injury
to branches repaired. Any dead
fruit left on apple, pear 'or
plum trees should be 'gathered
up and if disease is suspected
it is best to burn. The same
applies to weeds and dead tops
of perennials if there is any
likelihood that insect pests may
have lived over the winter in
them. 'If one has.,.not done so'
in the fall, early spring is also
the time to cut off and burn
the old asparagus tops and last
year's raspberry canes. Almost
invariably destructive beetles
and other pests will be holed
up in the more or less hollow
stems of these plants.
Back Savers
An old file makes a splendid
tool for keeping spades, hoes
a n d cultivating implements
clean and sharp, thus saving
temper, muscle and time.
Dividers
There are several ways now
for keeping the edge of flower
beds trim and. free from en-
croaching grass. One can sink
special metal strips flush with
the garden, or use brick, or
build a concrete curb.

greatly needed office space and

al headquarters for the county
because of the space which' will

tions at the agricultural level.
I should like to conclude by
saying that on February 19 I
was privileged to represent
Prime Minister Robarts-and the
Government of the Province at
what for me was a thrilling oc-
casion. It was the 65th anni-
versary of the Federated Wo-
men's Institutes of Ontario.
On this occasion, 1400 women'
assembled in the Queen Eliza-
beth Building at the Canadian
National Exhibition grounds,
having, braved one of the worst
snow storms of the winter to
attend this important birthday
party.
One group o members had
been" in a b from 7 a.m. to
12:80, driving a distance of on-
ly 137 miles. The entire affair
impressedme particularly be-
cause of the splendid organiza-
tion and the opportunity it pro-
vided nae to witness the tre-
mendous scope and effective
work being done by an organ-
ization that, I must confess, I
had largely taken for granted,
I couldn't help but feel proud
of these women from all over
Ontario who put up with much
discomfort and inconvenience
to attend this 65th birthday
party, and this explained to me
why the Women's ' Institutes
have been such an influence for
good in this Province for so
many years.
I hope to have the privilege
of reporting through these col-
umns again in a couple of
weeks, and at this point I wish
to thank the publishers for
making this space available.
