The vegetable garden ls '70 feet wide and 116 feet long and is di- vided into plots, with each room havîng seven plots, as their re- spansibility. Most af the vegetables that are grown are suitable for faîl use, cansisting of beets, carrats, pata- toes, onians, parsnîps and cab- bage. However, not content ta graw just an ordinary type of gar- den the childmen have branched out, and even experimented with pea nuts. The garden wvas planted in the middle of May-, but almost aIl of the annual flowers were grawn in the school, before this time, and transferred to cold frames in the garden. A number of experiments wereý carried out including sait ta kill weeds on beets, the u.ýe of 2-4-D on the lawn and nitrate of soda ta Doamote the growth of cammots and beets.

There is nothing peculiar in the appearance of these chairs except that perhaps they are somewhat antiquated for the present modemn age. However, these chairs have reached their "Hall of Fames" t.hrough the famous men that have sat ia them. Sir John A. Mac- donald, first Prime Minister of Canada, is one mnari whose chair is on display. This week The Statesman staff decided that it had a chair, which merited just such fame. it seems that the editor's chair, which we might add is extremely camfort- able, bas gone into retirement af- ter 49 years' cantinous and faith- fuI service. Despite weak arms which tend Io give way, when any weight is pIaced upon them the chair is nane the worse for the longevity of its use.. However, with the threat of freighit incrcases, it was decided ta delay the shipment of this war- thy chair ta the Ottawa Archives until a future date. In the mean- time it bas been relegated ta the archives of abhivian in the dark and peaceful stareroom aof The Statesman office. «M' à, I Top left shows the cans being filied with peas and brine and corn- pletehy sealed, carried along by a convcyor and finally placed in cranes, ready for the cockers.
