Plans were discussed to replen- ish the lands with phosphates and potash, the work to commence within the very near future, Council also gave approval tov a continuance of the potato pro gramme begun in 1939, The plan } is to provide better potato crops for York County to compete with the maritime potato crop. Gardening .... MOST FOR MONEY Every foot of space must count in the small vegetable plot. Rows are narrow, and as one vegetable is used another takes its place, * Only the most productive things are planted, like beans, radish, lettuce and spinach, and also those which have a"flavor all their own when taken from the garden at the door. In this category will be peas and corn, never as sweet and fresh as when picked, cooked and eaten: within an hour. Small vegetables like lettuce and radish require rows only 12 inch- es apart, Beets, beans, carrots, peas and spinach need at least 156 inches between, while potatoes, corn and staked tomatoes must have. 'a couple of feet to thirty inches. Space may be sayed with the latter type if something quick- maturing such as lettuce and spin- ach aresplanted in between, The bigger things will not..need the full 'room at fifst, and' by the time they do-the early crops will be out of the way. Tender vege- tables are those which are grown quickly, therefore the experts forge theirs along with chemical fertilizer, cultivation and, if pos- sible, water. HANDLE WITH CARE Nursery stock, which is* the technical 'name - for shrubbery, fruit trees, roses and vines should be secured from a reputable source and one that is familiar with and caters to Canadian con- ditions. Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of. live buds. Roots are moist and well wrapped to exclude the air. Nursery stock should be planted as soon as the soil is fit to work and if purchased before this time or if inconvenient to plant, roots should be temporarily covered - with moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool, dark cellar and roots kept moist. Some Pet Peeves + Of College Boys Alfred (NY.) University boys disapprove of girls with "sloppy" hair and very brilliant fingernails, according to a discussion held at the college, A girl's dress and poise make the first impression on a boy, the round-tables- discussion revealed. Other suggestions were: A "good personality" means more than "good dancing." Boys seem to think that dancing can' be learned, Boys dow't appreciate waiting too long for a girl when they call on a date. They generally are not impréssed by that long wait which is supposed to impress, The girl should be able to talk intelligently about civic affairs or affairs of the campus--at least say "yes" and "no" with soma understanding, Terrier Carries Phone Number An animal-lover of Houston Texas, has painted his telephon( number on the sides of his fom terrier, which has developed strap ing habits, | 'This Curious WORLD tiem HAWK'S -BILL TORTLES FREQUENTLY ARE. : RELEASED AFTER THE Ft PLATES, KNOWN ON 7 rate ) THE MARKET AS L LOOD TORTOISE ~SHELL.," OF ARE REMOVED."
