"The whole earth is fuli of bis glory." Isa. 6:3 A large flock of wild geese were fling north this Monday morning. So spring mrust be here. Fromi the nineties till the first World War large crops of peas were grown on the farms of the Durham region. They provided-the seed for the gardens of England. Farmers tried to plant them as early as possible. On April l8th-,,1908 the peas were up on the farma north of the village. Then in the autumn every fanm around Kendal had an orch- ard and hundreds of barrels of winter apples were shipped to the British market. No spraying was needed then, as dliseases such as the railroad worm were unknown. There was a fine turn out to the Easter Sunday morning service. Mr. Mark Wagar sang as a solo, "Up from the grace He arose", accompan- ied by Mrs. Wagar on the piano. Mrs. Lawrence Far- row was guest organist for the service. Rev. A. Tizzard read the scripture ST. Luke 24: 1-12. Then he chose a line from the cide' story, "He is back again", as the subject of his Easter mes- sage. This was followed by communion.

Perhaps we are discouraged but Jesus said. "I am come that you might have life (John 10:10) and, "I3ecause 1 live, ye shaîl live also" (John 14:19). The disciples were scattered in despair after the crucifixion but 'on the' first Easter miorning they kniew their Lord h3d risen. They became men of stnength, joyous and over- flowing wi th life. To Mary the% angel said, "He is not here but is risen." Indeed! LAf begins at Easter. Roll cal When and where could lay peop-le becomie more involved in the nieeds of the church and community.

This survey of commercial fruit growers which is con- ducted every five years shows the apple tree population increased from 1.4 million in 1971 to 1.9 million trees in 1976. -J..R. Rainforth, Director of the Soils and Crops Branch, says Ontar io now has the capacity to produce eight million bushels of apples. "The cenisus showed there are 600,000 apple trees under five years of age which, when they neacb maturity in about 1981, will further increase production capacity up to 1.5 ilflion bushels. In addition to provi ding information on the number of trees in production, the cen- sus also indicates changes in the industry. For example, the 1976 census notes a trend aw,ýay fromn seedlîng rootstock in favor of size controlling rootstockç which allows the producer to regulate the size of the tree. Mr. Rainforth feels this 'is because trees grown from size, controlling rootstock bear fruit at an earlier age wbich is easier to pick. The smaller size of the tree also allows for increased product- ion yields per acre. Altbough Mlntosh and Red Delicious are still the most popuflar apple varieties in Ontario, new varieties such as Spartan, Idared and Emip- ire are showing great inc- reases in popularity. "As Ontario apple product- ion increases, producers will face the challenge of market- ing their apples domestically in competition with imports." The Ontario Tree -Fruit Cý,ensus was first conducted in 1952. The 1976 census was completed in the faîl and' publisbed resuits will- be available to the apple indus-ý try in April. Use herbicides correctl1y To maxýimize thec nesuits of herbicides, it is important to use them corectly, says Brian Une, research scientist with the Ontario Minîstry of Agriculture and Food. When using herbicides it is important to consider the following points: 1.

Don't depend on herbi- cides f or 100 percen tweed control. Know your crops and how to eliminate effectively the weed or weeds that are causing problems. 3. Read the label on al herbicides to ensure you are taking al proper precautions. 4. Prepare herbicide equip- ment. Make sure the -sprayen is calibrated pro- perly. Measure the output fromn each nozzle. 5. Watch for drifing of the herbicide to neighboring crops. 6. Considen the after-effect of herbicides on future crops. Mn. Ure says Canadian farmers spend about $120 million on herbicides annual- ly, more than for both insecticides and fungîceide-s. To aid producers in correct herbicide use the publication Ontario Weeds (Publication 505) pniced at $250 is avail- able fromn the Information Bnanch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Legis- lative Buildings, Toronto, Ontario, M7A lA5. Cheques or money ondens for this publi- cation should be made pay- able to the Treasurer of Ontario.
