Hints On Pruning This is the month for pruning in the small garden and larger place too, All of the dead canes should be removed from the raspberry patch as well as the spindly ones among the new growth. Some of the older wood should 'be cut away from the goose- berries and currants. Grapes must be pruned early to avoid ive bleed: Jug, These vines should be cut back to a mere skeleton as the fruit is borne on the wood grown this year. Fruit trees, should be opened up to Jet in sunlight and air In pruning Josep, one 'should remember that or- - fiinarily the flowers are borne on theh new wood of the season. It should be the aim, therefore, to secure strong shoots for flower bearing, and not to. 'many per plant; otherwise small, weak stems and inferior flowers will result. Pruning of the hybrid perpet- nals 'should -be done early in the Br-i+ just before the new growth is wppeariig. Cut each cane back to »ix or eight bu's from the ground, al ys cutting pust ab~ve a bud point- Mig outward. The weaker growing hybrid teas are pruned more severely. Jt size and high quality of flowers are sought, al but five shoots are cut to the base, and each of these remaining five is cut back to thres or four buds. All dead ood or weak shoots, or « branches that cross each other, should be re 1cved in any case.

Why do our com- patriots continue to cross the frontier into the United States? We can find the answer in the table of our imports. Immjgrants will pot stay here, and workers leave the country because there is no work for them in Canada. It is foreign factories which feed the market of local consuription, so that employment for our workers is outside our own borders. . . . At their last meeting tha Trades and Labor Coun- cit of Montreal called attention to the level of salaries which is below that of the-cost Of living, Why are salaries [so low?

County Health Units The following editorial, taken from the current issue of the Cana- dian Public Health Journal, supports the contentfon of responsible health officials all over Canada, that the present system of safeguarding health in rural and semiruralt communities is obsolete, ONTARIO, WHAT? There is no doubt that the county health units 'will provide the solution of the most pressing health needs of Canada. In the larger urban areas the benefits of a wellfinanced, fully organized, full-time health service have been obvious for many years. On the contrary, the high sickness and mortality rates in areas not so cared for have been a manfesf demonstra- tion of the need of trained full-time service, One could, without much difficulty, select various areas in Can- ada in which contracts of a most striking character are evident. In spite of some exceptions, generally the areas where part-time service is relied upon are characterized by neglect of many of the fundamentals which have come to be looked upon as essential if. sickness rates and death rates are to pursue a progres- sively downward course. The best work /is found in the places (until recently only in cities) in which a full-time, trained personnel has been made possible. In various parts of Canada, notably Quebec, the county health unit has proved to be eminently satisfactory.

The Assimilation of Settlers Three Rivers Nouvelliste (Cons.): Our neighbors to the South are com- plaining of the difficulty which they experience in assimilating their {mmi- grants and fusing them into the Am- erican nation.

They may in this way acquire habits o thrift that will be of be.efit to them in later years. In dealing with their wards the various Children's Aid Societies have savings accounts totalling $86,- 555. These are individual bank ac- counts, and in cases where the amount is over $50 inte es is added. This morey is paid over to the children when they arrive at years of discretion and they are urged to add to the amount so that they can in time buy a home or start in business. At the same time, and quite in harmony with the savings idea, children should be a'lowed to have a little money in cash Lo thatthere may be no temptation to steal when they get the chance. This would almost certainly increase their self-respect and add greatly to their happiness. licen 1 have made no feuds. I have made many new friends--Calvin Coolidge.
