The underâ€"poula tion of countries which have great natural resources, which are lying unâ€" develoed for the lack of population, is w great loss to the wealth of the world, and is at the same time an agâ€" gravation of the economic difficulties of the more _ densely _ populated countrics.

Handling Tomatoes The many planting of tomatoes may be risked now in most sections of Eastern Canada. This plant prefers warm open soil and must be grown quickly. Wherever _ possible, _ it should be staked to encourage early fruiting. _ Nip off all side branches and train main stem to a central stake about five feet high. Tile loosely at intervals of a foot with soft twine or raffia. _ When the stem reaches the top of the stake, pinch off to hurry ripening of the later formed fruit. When staked, tomatoes may be grown about two feet apart in rows three feet apart.

Other flowers are adder‘s tongue, cranesbill, bellwort, sweet pepperbush and viburrtum. The trillium, or wake robins, other wild friends of ‘childhood days, are showy flowers in white, pink or deep red. They come from a moist rich woods soil, so it is best to make some leaf soil for them, and as the narrow bulbâ€"like roots are naturally deeply sunk they shauld be so planted. They can be so planted in midsummer or later. ‘ Hepatica, the blue, pink or white spring wild flower familiar to most of us, has also leaves which last over winter. Hepaticas will even grow in a sunny border, but as they prefer shade we may count on them for planting where it is too shady for ordinary garden flowers,. It is possible to help them along by giving them a good rich loam to grow in. By dividing the roots new plants are obtained. ’ WILD GINGER SPREADS FAST Anelegait mass of riche foliage for the shade is the wild ginger. Its leaves are heartâ€"shaped and its flowers are rich brown purple cups, hidden ungler the leaves, The wild ginger spreads rapidly by gingerâ€"scented, creeping rootstocks, a few poeces of which, planted in ordonary soil, will soon covâ€"| er broad spaces. Indeed, it is spe-i cifically recomended by horticulturists for carpeting under trees. l _ Another wildling which is very sucâ€" cessfully cultivated in the shade is thé bloodroot. It comes from rich woods, spreads by a strong rootstock just undeh the ground, sends up broad, crisp, green leaves and dainty, clear white flowers in April and May, which are nearly two inches across. WINTER COVERING NEEDED. By planting pieces of the rootstock even in ordinary garden soil one can have a worthâ€"while white flower in the‘i shady spot.
