Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 11. 1977 3 GARDENING by Harry Van Belle "Fun, relaxation and beat- ing the price at the super- market are incentives for raising vegetables and fruits." This was the heading in a most widely read business magazine "Business Week." According to Business Week, top level executives of large corporations derive a whole "bpnch" of. benefits from, gardening. Peace and quiet, stimulating and invigorating, back to nature concepts are the best way to unwind, and clean out your mind, and the added benefit of being able to spend the time with the whole family. You too can start growing a garden and reap the rewards that millions of people enjoy around the world. Start small, and then expand. Try a 15' x 20' garden plot in the back of your property. First take a pencil, and lay out the plot on paper. Then make a list of fruits and vegetables you and your family would enjoy growing. Then plan where each variety of vegetable would be best planted in your garden plot. Don't go hog wild on buying seeds, and find out that you need twice the space that you have, and need to add on to the area. Certain fruits and vegetables are better if they are started indoors and Vandergaast Roofing Contractors FOR YOUR FREE ESTIMATE ON NEW OR RE-ROOFING Cali 623-7400 or 623-7659 Over 30 years experience.

N. - OSHAWA then planted outside, such as tonatoes, peppers, cucum- bers etc. They can be seeded in the house in flats, and then transplanted after the danger of frost is over, or you can buy them at your local garden centre. My suggestion for a 15' x 20' garden plot would be to plant about 6 to 8 tomato plants, planted 3 feet apart in the first row, then one row each of radish, beets, carrots, turnips, and two rows of beans and peas. By planting or seeding these 1 foot apart, you will still have room to plant 8 more rows of vegetables, such as cauliflower, cabbage, lettuce, peppers, onions, cucumbers, brussel sprouts and maybe something completely diffe- rent such as kale, dandelion or celery. It is best to loosen up the poil by spading the whole area over, and applying a balanced plant food, such as 5-10-15 or a 8-8-8 which could be worked right into the soil, applying this at the rate of 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. feet. For a general safe effective insecti- cide you can use Sevin, apply this every two weeks to keep the vegetables insect free. Plant of the Week....Fushia. The Fushia is an old fashioned plant which has suddenly become very popular again. They can be kept indoors as long as they have enough light, such as an east window. They can also be used outside, hanging, from the roof of the house or from balconies. Keep in mind that they require some protection from very strong winds and heavy direct sun, since the branches are very brittle. You must water daily and sometimes as much as twice a day, since the branches and leaves are very succulent and require a heavy soaking. Once every 3 days submerge the whole pot in a pail of water, to let it soak up completely. Feed once a week with a well balanced fertilizer. Question of the Week. ..this one comes from Mr. A.J. on Strike Ave., in Bowmanvill:... Which is the best way to get rid of weeds in my lawn? There are two ways: You can spray the lawn with a combi- nation of 2 4 D and Mecropop which will almost get all the weeds sùch as dandelion, creeping weeds such creeping charlie and many more. If you have not fertilized your lawn you can apply the above weedkillers in combination with a balanced plant food, doing two jobs at the same time. Don't apply weedkillers until the lawn has been cut twice. What's new....Toyboy tomato, it is a new novelty hybrid tomato, with candy sweet, ping pong ball size fruits. These unusual small plants can be planted in hanging baskets, pots, small gardens, window boxes, or indoors in pots. It is a fast grower and will set fruit quickly.

Should Be Checking Methanol As Alternative Energy Source Says Doug Moffatt in Cobourg The people of Ontario should develop a varied energy package so as not to become dependent on only one source, said Doug Moffatt, New Democratic Party provincial energy critic. Moffatt was speaking at the NDP Northumberland riding nomination, meeting held at Thomas Gillbard Public School in Cobourg last (Wednesday) when John Tay- lor was acclaimed as the NDP candidate. "No one puts their eggs all in one basket," he said. "That's how we got into our difficulties with oil." Among the alternate sources he emphasised the place of nuclear energy. "I want to say that the NDP is not against nuclear power." He said, however, that the party is opposed to setting up such power stations without environmental assessment being done. Moffatt cited the Darlington proposal to be located southwest of Bowman- ville which he said would probably be "very efficient and safe." However, he said, "Let's have the assessment first." Nuclear waste should be disposed of in a highly visible way, he said in answer to a question. Moffatt felt that burying the material was only complicating the problem be- cause it could not be observed. He said he believed the waste could be stored safely and should be placed in an isolated place with a mechani- cal sensing device that could be checked regularly against leakage. He proposed that the device 'could automatically seal the storage containers if leakage did occur. While nuclear energyis seen as one part of the energy package, methanol is seen as another. Moffatt said that methanol, wood alcohol, is a safe alternative to liquid fuel. It is producéd out of vegetable waste such as wood and residential garbage. Methanol's advantages, Moffatt said, lie in using up garbage which is costing millions to dispose of while having the potential of taking over 15 per cent of liquid fuel consumption. He said tbat Europeans have been using it to power their automobiles for years. Methanol can also be produced from the waste part of trees that are used for pulp and paper. "In a pulp and paper operation they use only about 50 per cent of the tree. The rest stays in the forest as branches," Moffatt said. "Why not use the whole tree? Use it wisely and well." He said that the develop- ment of this fuel cannot be left simply to the private sector as these industries will only take it over after oil and gas prices have become prohibitive.

Moffatt took a swipe at the Progressive Conservative government in his talk to the NDP supporters. He accused the Tories of hypocrisy in their dealings with the Ontario people. He said that the amendment that was suggest- ed to the PC rent review bill was proposed in Committee of the Whole House and not in Parliament. The amendment was therefore, technically, not a nonconfidence motion as the government claimed. "It's looking for an excusi for an election," Moffatt said. Moffatt also talked about the NDP stand on national unity. He said that the party is dedicated to a united Canada and would not be looking to make deals with Quebec now in case that province secedes because that would be admit- ting defeat. The party is looking in terms of the future, Moffatt said, in managing its natural resources and improving the quality of life for the people of Ontario. -Cobourg Star Liberty Belles Bowling (Intended for Last Week> Spears 31, Bragg 31, Bons 2912, Forsey 28, Roberts 27, Dadson 25, Chant 25, Coombes 23, Pearce 21, Gibson 19, Robinson 17½, Alldread 11 Hig h sinie-Helen Nihili 281, High double-Jean Spears 576.
