B. Gleave. Fruit Trees Come Through Winter Well With very little damage done to trees by the winter weather, pro- spects for the 1944 fruit crop at the moment look very promising, ac- cording to I. I. Palmer, Director of the Horticultural Experimental I'arm at Vineland. In an interview, Mr. Palmer stated that the orch- ards had come through the winter very well and that the budding on the trees was particularly heavy. With reference to the peach crop prospects, Mr. Palmer said that there was a very heavy bud- ding, t6 such an extent that some thinning out might be necessary. He pointed out that, as a result of the very unfavourable weather of a year ago, the peach orchards had suffered considerable perman- ent damage and that about 20% of the trées had been killed in the Niagara Peninsula. Growers were finding great difficulty in sccuring stocks of young peach trees to re- place those killed and it would take at least four or five years to make good 'the losses suffered last year. With confinued favourable weather conditions however, he was confi- dent that the peach crop would be® "much better than in 1943, when it was only 26% of a normal crop. Other fruits have also wintered well and budding is considered sat- isfactory, : 8 vw -- \ Prospects For 1944 Apple Crop Good In the Georgian Bay apple grow- ing aréa .the growers are looking forward to another good year, Last year's crop was exceptionally heavy "and there had been some fears that this year there would be consider- able decline. The budding of apple' trees in this section, however, .in- dicates that another good crop is in sight if the weather remains fav- ourable. G. F, Mitchell, of Clarks- burg, one of the largest growers and packers of apples, stated that the Budding is far beyond expecta- tions and that if a satisfactory set of fruit results, the crop may be up to last year's standard, 'other score live Girls On Farms Busy and Happy Farm Service Girls Doing Fine Job on Niagara District Fruit and Vegetable Farms 'Ontario school girks are doing a big war job in the fruit and yeEgggple belt of the Niagara Pen: insula and having a wonderful time doing it.

Farmers Put Big Money Into Bonds The following story which ap-' peared in the Kiaracy Guide points up two things. First, that farmers. are more prosperous than they have been for years. Second, they are taking care that their prosperity is housed where thicves cannot enter in, and moths and rust cannot take a toll. "One of our local Victory Joan canvassers tells this story, He was out in the country to visit a farmer whom he found working on the land, and succeeded in sell ing him a thousand dollar bond, What was his surprise when Mr, Farmer nonchalantly put his hand in his overall pocket producing a roll of bills, held together with an elastic band, which when counted was. exactly $1,000. Mr. Canvasser 'was somewhat awed by so much cash all in one roll and lost no time in getting to the bank where it could be safely, deposited." . Ten years ago most farmers would 'have been happy to reach into their overall pockets and find a thousand cents, Now they have folding money and are putting it where it will do them and the country the most good -- in Vic tory Bonds, Ca When the hole is large avoid stretching or puckering. @ SERIAL STORY Murdér on the Boardwalk BY ELINORE COWAN STONE Last week: Police, investigating the murder in Christine's' booth, detain her for questioning. The victim had been drugged, killed with a dagger. Bill identifies the murdered woman as Mrs, Emma Talbert, Christine's cousin! CHAPTER VII For a moment Christine hardly heard what was being said. For that moment she stood, isolated by shock, torn by a pang of affection she had never before known she felt for the formally kind, but painfully repressed woman she remembered as Cousin Emma, but had never really. Oh, Cousin Emmal she thought. I don't believe you were ever very happy. . .. I might have been nuch nicer to you. When she came back to her sug- roundings, the inspector was ask- ing the doorman, "Have you no- ticed anything unusual around here in the last two hours?" "Well" --the doorman hesitated --"about half aftgr 11 I did see this young lady" --r &retiully he indicat- ed Christine--"come along and stop right here. then her boy friend comes running up those stairs from the beach, and they hurry off to- gether... . But first, she takes him "under the Twentieth Century lights and--kind of looks him over." Tx * N Christine flinched as she thought of that moment while she and Bill - stood there, laughing and talking _----=with Cousin mma perhaps al- ready lying there--hke that-- a few fect away. "Looks him over?" the inspector snapped. "What do you mean?" "I know _what he means," the waitress stoppell snapping her gum long enough to put in. "I seen them, too; and he was dripping wet." . Why, Christine remembered with an unpleasant start, Bill had been "wet. , .. He had said-- FSay--lookit!" The newsboy, who had been staring at Bill, pointed a grimy forefinger. "I sce him be- fore all right. T sold all my to- morrow morning's papers by 10:30; and I was out along the Boardwalk. And I scen him in a parked car. He was [¢anin' out, as if he was wait- in" for something." * * * v The inspector turned to Bill, "What's your name?" he demand- ed. "William Yardley." "Oh, yes--run the riding school, don't you? . . . And you say you knew Mrs, Talbert?" "T did." The inspector took a small dark object from his pocket. "Recognize this?" he asked. "TI ought to," Bill said after a brief inspection. "It's my key hol- der." "I wonder if you'd be interested to know yirere it was wo uld, rater." Bil] looked sheepish. ~=™ 't even it. Lucky it had my name BN « = * ~The inspector surveyed him for a moment; then he cooly reclaimed the keys and said, "It was found on the beach near a rowboat that hadn't any business tobe where it was. That boat may. have some connection with Mrs. Talbert's death." . ' "I saw that boat: I had a little run-in with a fellow right about there carlier in the evening." "You'd better explain." "Nothing to explain." Bill look- ed as if he could have kicked him- self for speaking. "I was doing my best to pin his ears back, but he showed more speed than I looked for." . "Who was this man?" "If you don't mind," Bill said pleasantly, "we won't go into that any farther at present. . . . How- ever, here he comes now. Perhaps he'll want to tell you all about it-- but 1 don't think so." . . * Two uuiformed men pushed into the booth, holding between them a disreputable object in rubber wad- ing boots. Aside from the boots, be wore.a soiled pair of flannel trous- ers, a tattered shirt, and a greasy hat. "Hére's that beachcomber we found down by the boat, Inspector," one of the men said. "He made a break for .it, and we had. to chase him half way to Key West." Christine looked at the man with interest, She had seen several men in rubber boots, wading about in the backwash of low tide that morning, poking with long sticks in the sand--occasionally stooping - to pick something up and examine it. When she had asked Mr. Wil- met if they were fishing, he had replied, "Well--in a way. They're beachcombers. Often they find coins, and sometimes cven jewelry." * N N Evidently Bill had not confined his efforts to the pinning back of ears. One of the man's eyes was almost closed. . . . Yet Christine looked at him in unbelieving re- cognition, and found him staring at her with a kind of dismayed plead- ing. The inspector glanced sharply from one to the other of them and demanded, "Ever seen this man be- fore, Miss?" Christine hesitated. ©. Of course it couldn't be--vet it was. In spite of his generally disreputable ap- pearance, the man in boots was un- mistakably Cousin Fmma's irre- proachable butler, Jaspar. . . . She put out a hand to steady herself against the wall of the booth. * * te At the point where her hand rest- ed, the concrete was badly cracked. A fragment moved under her fing- ers. . 4 At least, she took it for a fragment of the wall until she res alized that it was smooth to her touch--as satiny smooth -as silver that had been polished. Afterwards, she remembered thinking that--neatly as it was fit- ted into the crevice between the blocks of concrete, no one could "have hoped to hide a dagger there for long--even such a slender one. She heard herself saying in a small thin voice, "I--think I've found something, Inspector." Then at sight of the stain on the blade, she cried out and flung the weapon clattering to the floor. A man gathered it up in a clean handkerchief as tenderly as if it had been a new-born habe. "I'l look this over, Chief," he said, "Although 1 doubt if there are any finger-prints left." "There'll be mine," Christine said faintly. - * * The inspector treated her to a = brief, sardonic grin. "Why, so there will! he agreed. "So it was just as _casy as that . . Maybe you boys had better have another look around before this young lady finds the murderer under a piece of scaweced, with a signed confession under his arm neatly tied up in pink ribbon." He swung from his subordinates. to the others, "I think," he shot. at them, "that we'll run over to my office to finish this session--you and you and you and vou, IT mean" " Hay indicated Christine, Bill, Mr. "Wilmet, and the desreputable object who couldn't believably be Cousin Emma's im- maculte Jaspar, and yet who was.

He was an erect man of early middle age, with a direct, non-com- mittal blue gaze, and a quietly in- cisive voice. He had the appearance of one who might be impersonally fair so long as' he knew that you were honest with hig, but implac- able to any whom he suspected of lying. i And aleeady she had deceived him by her tacit asquiescence to the name by which Mr. Wilmet had {ntroduced her.

This decision which makes the age limit as it was during the grea- ter part of the First Great Wart ig no way alters the policy that men will not be sent overseas unless they are fully trained.
