As soon as the snow has disappeared it is time tc apply a high nitrogen fertilize, fertilize, you will have noticed that the lawns are completely brown, this is caused by the lack of nitrogen which has leached through the soil during the spring rains and also by runoff with the snow. This year it is particularly bad since there was hardly any snow cover, to protect the lawn, so a good early feeding will be verv important. Often the question is asked will we clean up the lawn first before applying the fertilizer, but in my opinion you are far better off to apply the fertilizer as soon as possible, so it can start to work and reach the grassroots with the spring rain. Fertilizers come in many 4 forms and many different, formulations, and I would say that all of them have a specific purpose. Éarly in the spring, you should apply the one with, the first number being the highest, such is thé 10-6-4 formulation, which is a cheaper type of fertilizer being readily available to the grass roots, since the first number depicts the nitrogen part, which in most cases is a fast release fertilizer. Some of these formulations will have a certain amount of slow release such as 25 percent being slow release, and this will help to give the làwn a feeding over a longer period, Y.W.C.A. spring program open There are vacancies in the Oshawa YWCA Spring Programs Programs held in Bowmanville at St. John's Anglican Church, CREATIVE CAPERS, a fun and creative movemeiit class for 34 to 5 years old is held Thursdays, 10:15-11:00 a.nî. beginning April 3 for 10 which is definitely helpful. ' More and more fertilizers are being produced the so- called light weight way, where the carrier is not the grit used for regular types, but some will use corn husks and other light weight material material to Cut down on the weight of the product and thereby cutting shipping and storage costs. Fertilizers this year will be up in price considerably due to the increase in raw materials and freight and labour costs, however compared compared to other countries we are still in a good healthy position and we pride ourselves ourselves in the appearance of our homes and I feel the lijttle amount of money spent in the place where you spend a lot of time and do all or most of your entertaining is certainly well worth it. When the soil is dry enough j to walk over the lawn without making footprints it is time to clean up the mess left from' the winter. Take a hard rake and remove all the debris such as branches and sticks arid also rake out as much thatch as possible. This is the material that is left over from the previous years clippings, this will allow the air to get into, the ground and will give -you a healthy lawn. To roll the lawn, the soil must not be soggy and never roll a lawn with a heavy roller,, since the purpose of foiling is riot to smooth over the lawn, but to press down the grass roots to the soil, that have heaved with the frost, Until next week, happy gar denirig. weeks.

The Swans are coming In the marshlands of southern southern Ontario, the leading, edge of spring is heralded by the arrival of our most magnificent magnificent species of waterfowl - the whistling swan. As" the ice retreats northwards, these gigantic white swans, often weighing more than fifteen pounds, soon follow. By late March they are well within Ontario; by mid-May, Jhey have reached their traditional nesting grounds high in the Arctic. Whistling swans are sometimes sometimes confused with the semi- domesticated mute swans, which are commonly introduced introduced into urban peaks. Whistling swans are slightly smaller, with necks that are almost straight rather than - curved, and without the conspicuous black knob at the base of the bill of a mute swan. We normally see whistling whistling swans only in the early spring during migration. Swan-watching is always a hit-and-miss kind of activity, since their movement can't be predicted with precision.. But two areas of southwestern southwestern Ontario are especial- ' ly attractive to migrating swans, and each spring thousands thousands of visitors flock to see the swans. At Long Point, south of Port Rowan, a welcoming committee of naturalists naturalists and wildlife experts sets up information displays on March weekends, and. helps you find , and ideritify swans apd other waterfowl'. The fast-disappearing marshes of Lake St. Clair still attract- thousands' of swans " each spring, and* thq, surrounding surrounding Urea often reveals small groups feeding in' the fields., > . Like Canada geese, whistling whistling swans take their mates for life, which may span ten or more years.., The well , known British wildfowler Sir Peter Scott has studied hun dreds of pairs of the closely- related Bewick swans, without without revealing a single case of "divorce". If a swan is killed, it may take up to three years before its mate forms another pair. This remarkable stability stability in relationships may be related to the short breeding season in the north, where all a swan's energies have to &e directed towards nesting rather than squabbling over mates. Fortunately, these remarkable remarkable birds are protected by law, and the opportunity for future generations to thrill at their sight appears relatively secure. , The Corporation of the Town of Newcastle NOTICE OF HIGHWAY CLOSING « TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle, at a Council meeting to be held at the Council Chambers, Police Building, Bowmanville, Ontario, on Monday, the 8th day of April, 1980, at the hour of 7:00 o'clock in the afternoon, propose to pass a by-law to stop up and close and to authorize the sale of that portion of the original road allowance lying between Lots 26 and . 27, in the Fifth Concession of the Géographie Township of Clarke, formerly County of Durham, more particularly designated as Part 13 on Reference Plan loR-919 more particularly described described as follows: ALL AND SINGULAR THAT certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the Town of Newcastle, Regional Municipality of Durham, Province of Ontario, gnd being composed of'all that portion of the » original allowance for road lying between Lots Twenty-six (26) and Twenty-seven (27) in the Fifth Concession of the Geographic Township of Clarke, formerly in the County of Durham, more particularly designated as .
