In Your Garden By GORDON L SMITh With m„st vegetables the season can be greatly extended by using very early, as well as late, types. In garden garden peas, for example, the time of maturity maturity will vary from about 50 days to 75. Instead of planting only one variety it is advisable to include at 1 ast three. Early sowing is essential hut in certain parts of the country a Fall crop with a quick-growing variety variety is also possible. In corn, the very early Bantam types mature weeks ahead of the regular season and some of the late, both white and yellow kinds, are on until frost or even after. READY-MADE GARDENS Tiie gardener is advised for the quickest possible results, to purchase a certain quantity of started plants of both flowers and vegetables. These are usually purchased from the greenhouse, greenhouse, florist or seed house. It is important important to get the varieties wanted, and on this account it is a splendid idea to consult a good Canadian seed catalogue before placing an order. The gardener can look over the various varieties offered in the catalogue and should make sure that the particular varieties wanted are in the boxes of the plants bought.. Among the flowers which can be purchased as started plants are the cosmos, zinnias, petunias, marigolds, salpiglossis, nicotine and a host of others. Cabbage, celery, tomato, head lettuce, egg an dpepper plants in the veetable line are all sold as Started plants. WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED The householders with only a little land to spare should concentrate on those vegetables which give the biggest biggest returns for the smallest space occupied. Among such kinds are beans carrots, onions, lettuce, swiss chard, spinach, cucumbers and l beets. In the lesser-known vegetables* are the leaks, egg and pepper plants, broad beans and cos lettuce. These can all be grown in almost any part of Canada. Canada. Experts advise the inclusion . of .something new in the vegetable line each year so that variety can be gradually gradually widened. Canadian Woman Honored In Maine BELGRADE, Me.--University of Maine has honored Mrs. George C. Penney, formerly Minnie M, Mills, of Sydney, N.S., by electing her outstanding outstanding "home-maker of Maine." University president Arthur A. Hauek in awarding the certificate to the Nova Scotian woman said: "You have proved your ability as housekeeper housekeeper and homemaker, both in your father's home when scarcely more than a child as head of a motherless household, and in your own home on one of the largest dairy farms in Gennebec county, Maine, where hired help is constantly employed."

T rans-Canada Highway Canada, has every reason to be proud of its Trans-Canada Highway, 4,500 miles in length, stretching from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, Columbia, from the Atlantic to the Pacific --and now complete except for the gaps between Mamainse and Schrei- ber and between Golden and Revel- stoke in British Columbia. •\ It is a unique highway, too, for, says an article in Motor Magazine,' y "is the only transcontinental rpad ■n North America that "can claim the distinction of being free from tropical heat, deserts and alkaline wastes along its entire route." It is thus bound to make an appeal appeal to tourists from all over the continent, as along it the motorist may travel in comfort through varied and interesting scenery, not the least magnificent of which will be that along the Algoma shore of Lake Superior when that section is completed. completed. Starting at the Atlantic seaboard, the motorist can now travel 1,700 miles of improved highways to the Sault and in the section immediately east of the city further improvements improvements are this year being carried out. From the lakehead to the Rockies Rockies is another long stretch, with the final stretch from the Rockies to Vancouver. This road is a fine thing for Canada Canada and completion of the short remaining remaining sections will make it even more valuable and more attractive. Good y H True An almost unbelievable story is told of a new method by which Britain Britain is able to deal with hostile airplanes. airplanes. Years of effort have perfected perfected a range-finder, It is said, which has such accuracy that it will direct the shot from the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft gun unerringly to its target. In its still imperfect stages it was used in 118. Fourteen German raiders raiders made an attack on London, but all 14 fell before this uncanny device. device. From then on the air-raiders kept away from Britain. Let the 'plane zig-zag ever so much, even at a speed of 400 miles an hour, and yet this device will steer the shell unfailingly to its target. At manoeuvres, manoeuvres, 15 shots were fired at 15 moving objects without a miss. It is electrically controlled, and the moment the range is found the shell starts on its deadly errand. It is all like a tale from witchcraft, and there have been so many tales told of marvellous and almost uncanny inventions that it taxes credulity. The most we can hope is that it is true, and if it is true, the peril of the air will be conquered, and flying- may yet become what it was destined to be, one of the greatest blessings, instead of one of its potential curses.

Issue No. 17 -- '37 - -- EDMONTON. -- Declaring "the record record of the Garnet grades is certainly certainly a dismal one," Dr. A. G. McCalla of the University of Alberta, testifying testifying before the Turgeon Royal Grain Commission, recommended the expulsion expulsion of the variety from all Northern wheat grades. "If Garnet is not responsible for the relatively large spread between No. 1 and No. 2 Northern at Vancouver, Vancouver, then Garnet grades should not sell at any marked discount," he said. "If it is responsible and we believe it is at least a factor, then the fairest way to overcome this would he by separate - grading.' Since the exclusion of Garnet from No. 2 Northern and the creation of No. 1 and No. 2 C.W., Garnet grades, ■only a small part of the Garnet had been exported as a purely Garnet wheat, he said. The largest proportion of Garnet had one into No. 3 Northern. Northern. i PURPOSE DEFEATED "It was the understanding of those who favored separate grading of Garnet that such grading would enable enable importers of our wheat to se cure, reasonably pure, another type of wheat for blending," he said. "This purpose has been entirely defeated since there has been no volume of these grades. As long a,s mixing to the extent of 10 per cent, with other varieties varieties will place Garnet in No. 3 Northern, this situation with respect to Garnet, grades will continue." He pointed to the spread in price between No, 1 and No. 3 Northern at Vancouver and said all grain men agreed Vancouver No, 3 Northern "was a drug on the market.' Dr. McCalla said it had been. definitely definitely established tbat within a variety variety protein content was the most important important factor affecting the actual baking value of wheat. During the past six years the average protein content of all wheat grown northeast northwest and southwest of Edmonton Edmonton was below 12 per cent. NEED OF 12 PER CENT PROTEIN "While there may be some question question as to what is a satisfactory level of protein to insure quality, we can be reasonably sure that unless our wheat contains 12 per cent, or more it will not give increased strength to blends, the purposes for which our wheat is bought,".he said, adding that prairie wheat was. much stronger. fj.X, CUTS & SORES 1 Jr^ Apply Minardi freely. ït b\ washes out poison and Jg|| g I cleanses.
