TRI CANAD!AII TATI~MA1r. EOWKANV!LLE~, ONTARJO THU~SDAY, APRIL Ilut. 1U4~ ~PAGE 7TOUR Not Ton Soon As anyone who has had any ex- perience in rnucking around witlh clay will confirm, one can dig or cuitivate soul too soon in the Spring or too soon aftèr a heavy shower. If stirredi up while stili really wet, heavy soil is liabe to And it doesn't do a bit of good, and it may cause some harm, to cuitivate even light loamn while it is wet. Technical people have various scientific tests for determinîng whether il is safe to cultivate, but the oId gardener simpiy takcs a walk around. If the soil is muddy and sticks to his boots then lie jinds other jobs indoors. But if the soil is damp but doesn't squeeze tightly together, it is just right te cultivate. And this rule lolds good whether the Winter snows have just gone or after a heavy Summer shower. x* * Fertilizers One could write a book about fertilizers alone. Indeed scores of such books have been written, but it is not necessary to read them ail to learn the fundamentals. There are two main points to re- mnember. AIL fertilizers, whether chemical or natural, are used for two purposes-first and foremost to feed the plants, secondly to speed growth and maturity. The second point is particularly im- portapt with vegetabies, which should -be grown as quickly as possible if they are to be tender. and it is also important with ion-season, tender things like melons, squash, cucumbers, corn, tomatoes, etc., especialiy in areas where the Faîl frosts come early. Of the chemnical or commercial fertilizers. it is important to rea- lize that these contain three main essentias- nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. These are usually shown by three figures with a dash between on the bag or pàck- age. As a rule where green growth is the important thing as with grass and leafyv vegetables, POWER GARDEN EQUIPMENT FOR SPRING See SAM'S GARDENER- the most outstanding Garden Tractor offered ta, the publie anywhere.

Where root growth is dominant, as witb po- tatoes, carrots, beets, etc., then a formula heavy in potash wouid suit. As a general rule a fairiy eveniy balanced mixture is best for the average garden. With natural fertilizers or man- ures, there are differences, toc. Well-rotted cow nianure is prob- ably the best, as it is well-bal- anced. Any kind, however, will be useful, but because it is so strong poultry manure should lie used sparingly. Another excellent source of plant food will lie the compost heap. Every garden, no niatter how smali, shouid have one. Thié. i$ a.hidden spot where alI vege- table refuse is piled, stuff like weecls, grass clippings, straw, j leaves, even garbage, provided it is free from tin cans and glass which will flot rot. Over each inch or so layer of the plant re- fuse, and of course over every bit of garbage that is hiable to smell or attract flies, one should throw some soil. If possible it is also well bo incorporate a littie well- rotted mnanure and perhaps somne chemical fertilizer. The pile which wil be 'ouilt Up of alter- nate layers o! soil and plant re- fuse should be kept fiat on top ta absorb rains. This speeds de- composition. A good soaking with the hose every few weeks in dry weather wili also help the break- ing-down process, and there are special chemicals one can use for this purpose too. In a year the whole wili have turned into first- class, very rich garden soil and another should lie started. Next Week- Three Common MistakeF. Foresters Hold Banquet at End 0f Bowling Season A social function, with many out of town guests, was held in the I.00OF. Hall, Saturday night. April 9th. It was the annual bowling banquet arra nged by local Foresters and their wives to cele- brate the close of another suc- cessful bowling Feason, and more than 60 people, including wives and familles, forgathered with in- vited guests5 to enjoy an excellent dinner and to hear reports of officials and enjoy the general programme which includeci ad- dresses of district officials and an interesting presentation. Chief Ranger Geo. W. Graham presidcd and gave an interesting account of the bowling season and the interest it has created among members as a social diversion during the winter months. Bowl- ing took place on the excellent alley of the Balmoral Hotel every Thursday nmght, and much praise was given the Balmoral manage- ment for the arrangements made to give everyone the feeling of being right at home. Othaýr speakers included P.C.R. Ed. Henderson, P.C.R. Chas. Fer- guson and Cal Braun, District 0rgan;zer, &Il of Oshawa. They spoke in complimentary terms of the Bowmanville Court as one of the best lodges in the district and its strong support of bowling, softball and other sports which has done so much for commun- ity and inter-city relationships. Bro. Lorne Haynes was accord- a round of applause when he was presented with the P.C.R. Jewel by J.P.C.R. Farewell Blackburn, who thanked hlm for his splen- did services over the years as Financial Secretary. Following are the results of the District Bowling Tournament held April 7 at Martyn's Bowling Em- porium which was really the big night for the C.0.F. District Bowl- ing teams of Pickering, Whitby, Bowmanville and Oshawa for the annual tournament for the W.M. Couper Trophy. Oshawa team went home a very happy lot, being winners of this fine trophy for second succes- sive year. The team of Arn Greent, Ada Lockwood, Norm 0'Reiily, Janet Stark, Wes Rich- ards and Helen Henderson had a real fight on their hands. When it was seen the totals were going to be close, they really bore down and came up with those strikes \vhen they were most needed, in those last two frames. Bowmanville was the biggest threat and had they all bowled like F.rewell Blackburn it would sure have been a different tale. Blackie wins the Bourke Trophy (a new trophy donated this year) for high triple and he bowled three grand gamnes of 265, 180 and 356 for a total of 801. Whitby with Chief Ranger AI Hepburn leading the parade for their team, were in there pitching aIl the time too, and Put up a great fight and just nosed out Pickering by a few pins. This wilI probably be the team to watch next year.

FINK Friends of the Land Columbus,, Ohio In the final analysis, soil con- servation is more important to the man who lives in the city than it is to the man who lives on the fa rm. In pioneer days, 19 people worked ift the soil to produce enough food and fibre for 20 people; one was free ta live in the city; seventy-Mve years ago, eight farmers with their nèw steel plows were able ta provide for 10 people; two people lived in the cities. Then came the inventors who made the modemn cities possible. One farmer today with his trac- tor, his combine, and other "me- chanical slaves" provides for four of us. The farmer eats first -and farm production beyond the needs of the farmer and his famiiy, is a surplus. If there is no farm surplus --there is no city. The farmer may long exist al- ter the city man starves. With- out conservation, fields formerly fertile are now unproductive, and sa it is only through conserving the 'soil, which provides the sur- plus, that cities mnay continue ta exist. Therefore, conservation is of greater importance ta those who live in cities than it is ta those who live on the farms. The "'cost of living dollar" is largely spenit for products of the sali. As the population increases and ero- sion continues, the ratio increases. The wages and salaries o! those engaged in industry, business. labor, and the professions are ta a large degree regulated by the use or mnisuse of land and water resources. Mirabeau wrote, "The roots are agriculture, the trunk is the population, the branches are in- dustry, the leaves are commerce, and the arts: it is frorn the roats that the tree draws its nourish- ing sap and it is ta the roats that a remedy must -be applied il a tree is not ta perish." Let us examine aur modern economic society which Mirabeau described two centuries aga as having its rootfs in agriculture. A survey o! the relationship o! man ta his agricuitural resources was recently made by the Detroit Agricultu ral-Indu strial1 Foundation as follows: Industrial Raw Materials - Almost two-thirds of aur indus- trial raw materials came from the soul. With the depletion o! aur mineral reserves this ratio wili increase. Industrial Production- Nearly hall f o ur industriai production is from manutacturing plants 1whose Principal raw materials arrm the sou., Labor Suppily- Approximately 63% o! aur nation's total labor supply is utiiized by 59% o! the nation's plants operating with basic raw materiais fromn the soil. (108.000 plants.) lVholesalers - Almost two- thirds of ail the wholesaiers in the nation deal primarily with pro- ducts from the soi]. These ac- count for over hall o! the volume o! sales and aiso hallîf othe total -employmnent engaged ini whole- sale trade. Retailers- Almost two-thirds of aIl the retailers handle the products from the salI. These ac- count for 73% of ail retail em- IThat's a lot of money!
