THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE Gardening By GORDON L. SMITH ARTICLE NO. 3. The main object of pruning, whether it be rose bushes, fruit trees or flowering shrubs, is to open up the centre of the growth so that sunshine and air may penetrate freely and also, of course, to produce a symmetrical plant. Naturally any dead or weak growth should be removed and also branches that rub against each other. Early March until late in June, is usually considered the best time for this sort of work, but there are a few specific exceptions. Most of these are the early blooming shrubs, such as the Porsythia. These should be left until after blooming. Grapes must be pruned early in March to avoid excessive bleeding. Raspberries are pruned after the crop has produced and then all the year-old eanes should be removed, leaving only the new shoots. MAKING A HOT-BED The best arrangement for starting seed indoors is a hot-bed, though where only a few plants of each variety are required a shallow box in a sunny window will be sufficient.

In an open place and facing the south dig a pit of the same dimensions as the window-frame and about a foot deep. Into this put the manure. (If frost prevents digging, simply pile on top of the ground). The layer of manure should be about 18 inches thick when well pressed down. It is held in place by the sides of the pit and the frame. On top is placed two inches of light garden soil, preferably mixed with a little sand. The window is fitted snugly into place on top and should be about nine inches above the soil at the front and 15 inches at the back to allow rain to run off and also catch the full rays of the sun. At the first the soil will heat quite rapidly, but in about three days, it will have cooled to around 80 degrees which is the proper temperature. The seed is planted in rows about two inches apart, and the bed watered frequently. On warm days it will be necessary to ventilate by raising the window frame an inch or so. When the second set of leaves develop, thin. About three weeks before going outside, the seedlings are transplanted to a cold frame, which is the same as a hot-bed only without the heating manure. Here they are hardened thoroughly before beirg set out in their permanent quarters. When started in the hou^e the procedure is practically the same, only of course, no heating material is needed.

None among all these subjects is now more respectable than sterilization, which is actually practised by at least one provincial government under a statute of several years' standing, and which has been long and courageously advocated by the Lieut.-Governor of another Province. A ruling which will prevent the members and supporters of the Alberta Governments pas;, and present from defending on the air a statute which they have enacted and administered is rather obviously impractical. It is true that an important religious body in Canada is opposed to sterilization, but we are quite confident that that body would never claim that the advocacy of sterilization constitutes an offensive criticism of a dogma of the Church, and is therefore repugnant to the most sacred feelings of its members. Broadcast Bans >;.. Gladstone Murray is entitled to much sympathy in his task of deciding what shall and what shall not be communicated to the public of Canada over the governmentally-owned ether. While he is a Canadian, a good deal of his recent life has been spent elsewhere, and he is probably unfamiiar with the changes of opinion which have taken place in Canada regarding the discussa-bility of many subjects, including venerael disease, sterilization, sexual abnormality and the like, which Declare Food Is Not Cause of Bad Dreams NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--Amateur psychologists at Westminster College decided on the basis of questionnaires and experiments that: Food does not cause bad dreams. Women sleep more lightly and dream more than men, and remember their dreams more vividly. Dreams do not forecast future In a series of experiments members of psychology classes learned that external stimuli stimulate dreams which are definitely connected with the external forces. For instance, ice-bags placed on the head cf one victim caused her to dream that she was sick in a hospital and tint the nurse was applying icepacks. Another one dreamed she was caught in a freezing windstorm. The research workers said they found that men were less susceptible to outside influences in their dreams. Fish Never So Plentiful BOSTON--On Boston's famed fish pier, greatest fish marketing wharf in the world, storage space is overtaxed these days as trawler captains and wholesale fish buyers shake their heads and exclaim in unison: "We never saw such a winter." Because of open water everywhere, in harbors as well as lakes and rivers, explained Edmund L. Dunn, president of the New England Fish Exchange, the fresh water supply has been a constant one this winter, with every prospect of continuing. Comamptioii ( out New England and the rest of the country, serviced by long trains of refrigerator cars and chains of trucks leaving here every few minutes, was expected to increase 25 per cent during Lent, but even that stepped-up demand will not seriously raid the big stores. The usual ice conditions, snow blizzards and foul weather that raise the cost of fish, have been absent this year and consequently the prices are at rock bottom. Of course, Mr. Dunn continued, a run of heavy storms at sea and a sudden freeze-up would change the picture overnight.
