April 11,“ death came with startling sudden; -‘ ness to this community. removing a very highly esteemed old gentleman in the person of Mr. P. Quigg. who, i‘ in the quiet of his own home, was f, seized with heart failure and ex-t'. pired immediately in the presence'j of his wife, who, being alone, re- : ceived a severe shock. He had not been in his usual health for a few months, but for one of his advanced years, was fairly smart, and the ‘ sudden collapse was unexpected by\ l t I t I t z 1 1 his family and friends. Mr. Quigg, who was one of the few remaining pioneers of Artemesia township, was well and favorably known. He was a man of strict integrity, in- dustrious and frugal, making a competency on the farm for his declining years. In politics he was a Liberal, and in religion a Presby- terian, being a regular supporter of Chalmer’s church here. The de- ceased. who was in his 84th year, was born near Coleraine, in the County Londonderry, Ireland, from where, at 19 years of age. he came to Canada and lived for a number of years in Toronto and vicinity. Sixty years ago he was married at Toronto to Miss Mary Ann Stewart, I also from Ireland. Soon after thel marriage the youngg couple moved to Osprey township. where they spent a year and a half, afterward settling in Artemesia. near the Durham road. where they lived till retiring here nearly '12 years ago.

How to Plan YOur We Work to a Plan. EVERYBODY GROW EATABLES (By S. C. JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) At no time in many years has the necessity and importance of the i home vegetable garden been so clear- ' 1y shown as for this coming summer. France, our wonderful ally, has since the French Revolution been a nation of small farmers, her people of small ‘ means cultivating some available land to produce a portion of their own household foodstuffs and to in- crease the wealth of the nation; Great Britain, threatened with a shortage of foodstuffs, determined to cultivate all available land possible to offset this shortage and we in Canada bending every energy toward facilitating these great nations should do all in our individual power to do something in the hope of helpâ€" ing ourselves and assisting the com- mercial vegetable growers who are seriously handicapped by the short- age of labor in the production of vegetable foodstuffs. Every city, town, and village dweller has an op- portunity to help this great work, in that there are hundreds of avail- able plots now practically unproduc- tive which could be made grow vegetables and thus add to the wealth of the country. Vegetables an Important Food. Vegetables should form an import- ant portion of the daily food of the average human being,for they possess qualities which we are told are essen- tial in the proper digestion of the heavy foods, such as meats. To help .you do your part in your backyard 1this column will discuss some of the practical problems in connection with vegetable growing during the next few weeks. All backyards cannot be prepared in one year to grow vegetables of an excellent quality. Some portion of the yard, however, may be devoted to this purpose, or, if it is convenient, there are usually many vacant lots which are not too far from one’s place of abode which possibly could be devoted to the growing of veget- ables. Some Essentials. First of all it is essential that the vegetable garden, no matter how small, be planted according to some plan or rule. No one attempts to build a house or to set out a peren- nial flower border without using some drawing or chart to go by. Why should the vegetable garden be treat- ed ditferently? Haphazard planting will prove a failure, and in order to overcome this it should be remem- bered in laying out the garden thatâ€" vâ€"v (1â€") _ Tall plants will be most efiec- tive if placed behind low ones, not intermingled with them. -u-vv- â€"â€"-â€"U (2) All, plants closely 'allied should be grown together, not in the same row, but in rows adjoining one another. (3) The fences may be decorated with vine crops which may be sup- ported on the fences by means of strings or lattice work. _ L - --â€"Gvâ€"' (4) All quickly maturing veget- ables should be planted in a portion of the garden by themselves so that they may be harvested and the ground used for other crops later V The work of planning the garden to determine what vegetables and how much of each is to be grown will be influenced by one’s individ- ual tastes. One should grow an abundance of such crops as one con- sumes the most. Secure Seed Nowâ€"But Plant Only When Soil is Ready. The backyard gardener should de- cide very early which crops are to be grown and should purchase his seed as soon as possible. It must be remembered, however, that much of this seed may be wasted if it is planted too early in the season. The soil must be warm to receive the seeds, and amateur gardeners must have patience until it is certain that good growing weather is really here. It is possible in ordinary seasons to plant some vegetables in April, and â€"â€"- A-AL‘L1A r.‘â€". w yet many bacltyard vegetable en- thusiasts will be well advised to wait until the middle of May before doing very much in the garden.
