Tender Plantings In most parts of Southern Can- ada it will be tirne Vo think about planting or setting out those ten- der flowers and vegetables that will flot .,tand any frost. Dahlias, &,.ladioli, petunias, and other soit- stemimed started flowers are in this category, and also tamatoes, peppers, egg plants, cukes, squash, mnelons and pumpkins. Some of these, it' is truc, will survive a light frost, but uszually% the dam- age sets themn back so that they neyer really catch up. With the seeds and bulbs, oi course, one can plant a week or ten days be- fore the last light frast because the plants will flot be exposed above ground. There is noV much advantage in early planting be- cause nane of these tender things really start ta grow until bath soul and air are warm. One safe short- eut, hawever, is apen ta the ama- teur. Using special m-axed paper caps, which are placed aver indi- vidual huis or plants. one can plant seed or set aut plants froni two ta three xweeks ahead af normal. These caps act as minia- ture greenhouses. Cucumoers. melons,, squash, etc., are usually grown in his. These are beds a foot or so in diameter and about two to three feet apart. Thiey are heaped up a few inches above the surround- ing earth. Thiýý ilows themr to Stafford Bros.

His are made by scraping out about six inches of the surface soil, filling with rotted manure or some simi- Ian rich mixture, then tapping off with an inch or sa ai fine, light soul in which the seeds are planted. Health Hints The cîcaner and bealthier a garden the less hiable it is ta be attacked by pests. Frequent cul- tivation and propen spacing ai plant, as emphasized carlier, is mast important. A little chemnical fentilizer, spec- ially recommended for the gar- den, will also belp ta keep plants robust. As this may burn if it cames in direct contact with noats or leaves it should be applied care- fully and accarding ta directions. One of the safest ways is ta dissolve in water and apply as a liquid. Fringes about the flowcr or garden should fat be ncglccted. If weeds are allowed ta, thrive here they may barbon a lot ai insects and other pests which will give trouble at the first appon- tunity. If passible trim with mow- er or scythe, or at least spray witb somas chemnical wced killer. Another precautian is Vo bave a sprayer or dust-gun bandy, (small sizes can be secured for a dollar or sa), and the chemnicals ta use witb them. IV is a simple matter ta contrai bugs or dus- case if anc countcr-attacks at the fiîst sign ai thcm. Right Sced is Essential No matter how favorable the weather or soil, results are sure ta be disappointing unless anc uses good seed. This casts but a iew cents a packct but it is vital. It is also vital ta use seed that is 4uitable for Cantadian condi- tions. Something that might gîve wonderful results in the U.S. or Europe may be far tao tender when planted in Canada.

Armny Red Shield «î Campaign Has $2,600 as Objective During the next two weeks the term "Red Shield" will be on many lips. To practically every- ont ita use will have reference ta The Salvation Army, and ta that worthy organization's annual ap- peal for funds. Since its beginning some eighty years ago, The Salvation Army has been called many names! Somne were deadly opprobriaus, especially in the early days when The Salvation Army's aims and methods werc noV understood or misinterpreted. But the bSalva- tionists didn't mind, and the ex- pletives, like many other fanms of persecution, did noV in any way retard The Army's growth. But how and where did the Red Shield originate? The Salvation Army, as almost everyone knaws, bases its principles and practices upon the Bible, and the choice of this symbol is no exception. In the Book af Nahumi, the Praphet declares: "The shield of bis migahty men as made red; the valiant men are in scarlet." The illusion is appropriate: "'mighty men with red shields' the warriors of right and belpful- ness. And while The Salvation Army bas taken the rcd shield for its symbal, it would be the last ta dlaim for itself the title ai -mighty men." Its spirit is essent- ially modest, though its wish and wiil ta serve is vigarously ambit- ious. Red is the color of courage. The Shield is a weapon both ai offense and defense. It.s more sentimental connotation as also apt, for since its inseption The Salvation Army has been "shielding" the hungry and the homeless, the sarrowing and the sinnlng, in ail parts of the world, and not least of aIl in the Dominion af Canada. Bowmanville district bas for its objective in the present. Red Shield Campaign, $2.600. This maodest amount should be over subscribed if evcryone docs his and ber part.
