HIGH TRIBUTE ; PAID TO WOMEN OF AUXILIARY Toronto, Ont., May 20--Rev.

Judge Quinton, of the Juvenile Court, London, declared that at the present moment the Anglican Church was making real cos = tion to the sacial service work. "The 20th century will come to be kuown as the prevention century," he' said, "because it will be the century 'n which the thrill of prevention will be realized, Hitherto romance has been connected with war epideinics and those things which require sac- rifice. In the 20th century we iil achieve the distinction of securing results by appealinz to the reason of the people instead of to their emotions. The time to make sure the relief office is properly equip- ped and able to serve the people it is intended for is now--not wher winter comes." EDMONTON _ SCHOOLS PLANT OVER 500 TREES . Edmonton, Alta, May 20--Chil- dren in 35 Edmonton schools plant- ed between 525 and 550 tees in their school grounds on Arber Day. There were Green ash and lus popular grown from seed in local nuseries, tended for years by vol- untary labor and upland spruce from surrounding woods. Most of these trees will grow to be sturdy, beautiful and generous oft shade, says Miss Gladys Reeves. If there is a woman in Edmouaton who should be able to predict the fu- ture of a tree it is Miss Recves, for, busy protessional woman that she is, she has given hours of her time, uncounted and boundles energy to the beautification of her city, with no other remuneration thah the knowledge that the world will be a more gracious place, Edmonton a more beautiful city, because of her work. Some stranger in days when this young city has grown old tay find friendship and refreshment in a strong and stately tree und the influence of Miss Reeves, members of her indefatigable committee and all those who have planted (ices in this and past seasons on Memorial drive, city boulevards, public grounds and their own property, will reach bravely into the future while a tree stands in Edmonton, DISCUSS CHILD OF WORKING MOTHER Toronto, Ont, May 20--The child of the working mother is discussed in the last issue of the Federation Bulletin; We wonder how many citizens realize the opportunity for intrinsic service to the child that lies within the bounds of our Day Nurseries. The day of institutions for children is waning, because we wish to maintain home care for ail children. Yet here is a place where the child is given a full day's insti- tutional care, and, at the end of the day, is united with its mother aud the family circle. Such service is a boon to the working mother, and above all, to the child who other- wise would cither be in danger of neglect, or torn from its family roots, The programme of the Day Nur- sery is therfore in a process of cou- tinuous evolution as we become more and more conscious of the place it fills in our modern comm- unity, and as the knowledge of mo- dern child care technique grows. In harmony with this growing seuse of responsibility, the Conference of urserics within the « Child a Loic ily Svea ter To W fare Council instituted a study dietaries prevailing in the City. 4 committee of food experts was abeinted to examine the pievailing etry 'and advise on it. Resulting from this, a practical balanced diet: ary has mow been adopted for use in ali Nurseries at a standard rate - The Weekly Crop Report The Crop reports as submitted by Agricultural = Representatives of the Ontario Department of Agri- cultur@.reveal that practically all farm £rgps, with the exception of strawbélgies which are expected to be w average yleld, give promise good yields. A de- crease in milk shipments to cheese factories is noticeable, due large- ly to low prices being offered for cheese. DUNDAS--Prospects for the hay crop are excellent. Present growth indicates early cutting and a bumper crop. Fameuse ap- ple trees are in full bloom in many orchards. Young cattle are out to pasture and probably 60 per cent. of the milking herds are out as well, Cattle have gone out in generally good condition. Pasture is making fair growth and is much advanced over the average year. Spring grains look well--very even and thrifty. There will be about a 10 per cent. increase in acreage and a greater proportion of mixed grain (bar- ley and oats) than usual. FRONTENAC--AIl grain crops are coming along nicely and an- other season of a plentiful supply of grain and hay promised. Prices of milk products are very dis- couraging with the cheese factory paying the lowest price, with creameries second and conden- series the best. Average price at cheese factory is bbe. per cwt, GLENGARRY -- Farm . work is progressing very satisfactorily. Spring seeding is completed. Most of the potatoes are planted and farmers busy preparing for the corn crop. Work is well advanc- ed, in fact more £0 than it has been in this district for a good many years. The only drawback to an otherwise favorable season | is the low price of farm commodi- ties. HASTINGS--The run of milk at cheese factories continues fairly light. - To date very little cheese has been marketed in this dis- trict, LAMEBTON--The pink spray was applied to the orchards this week. There are splendid prospects of a fruit crop providing there is a good getting of fruit. The ze of canning factory peas corn increased 50 per this reason. LINCOLN--AIlfalfa that came through the drought of the past summer is making excellent pro- acre- and has cent | gress and young seedings so far | show indication of growth. Peaches are showing full bloom with plums' average but as a rule both sweet and sour cherries are well bloomed. Late apples are not yet out sufficiently to indicate crop prospects. In- dications point to a rather lean crop of strawberries as most patches are thin and plants are not well rooted as a result of last year's dry weather, MUSKOKA & PARRY SOUND-- While the weathgr has been some- what cool, conditions have heen fairly favorable for growth dur- ing the past week. Leaf growth on the trees is unusually rapid and trees are -not nearly two weeks further advanced than at this time last year. This unusu- al growth, however, does not ap- ply to the same extent to grass crops, where growth has been rather slow. There does not, however, appear to be very much serious winter killing in evidence. NORTHUMBERLAND----As a re- sult of the rains of last week and moderately warm weather, fall wheat, alfalfa, clover and ali classes of spring grains have made excellent growth and are consid- erably ahead of the average for the time of year. Orchards have made considerable progress leaf development and bud develop- ment in most instances. However- practically | in | there are evidences of sections which are adversely affected by cold early in the season. It is possible that a considerable per- centage of buds have been injured by frost in the orchards most re- mote from the water. Small fruits have developed well and show promise of good bloom PERTH--S ceding of spring grains is practically finished ex- cept for a little barley The spring grain is in very good con- dition, showing a very even stand A few farmers have sown their mangels and a number are busy preparing corn ground A number of farmers have turned their young cattle to grass this week PRESCOTT & RUSSELL--There- is every indication if the weather conditions are keeping up as fav- orably as they have been to date of an excellent hay crop Pas- tures could not look any better and generally speaking a short run through the country leaves the very best impression. TEMISKAMING--Clover and fall wheat have come through the win- ter and spring in very good condi. tion. We have heard practically no complaint of winter killing with the exception of the odd spots that were possibly drowned out. New seeding especially is looking well although for the past week or ten days growth has not been very rapid owing to cool weather. WELLINGTON--Farmers are put- ting forth an extra special effort to plant and sow potatoes and ex- port turnips on a well prepared and well fertilized soil so as to improve the quality to facilitate marketing. Handling Blcat Bloating of dairy cows on pas- ture is, and apparently always will be a gerious problem in herd management wherever legumes are used as pastures. This Is perhaps more particularly. crue when the legume jt alfalfa. At the Dominion Experimantal Station, Summerland, British Co- lumbia, alfalfa is used as a base in all pastures, and in spite of the best care being taken, con- siderable trouble arises from bloat. It is possibly more severe at that particular period when the first crop of alfalfa would be approaching the blossoming per- fod The most practical means of lessening the danger is in the ex- ercise care in seeing that condi- tions under which ploating might occur are avoided. In g pera, cows should never be turned ca alfalfa pasture on empty stom- achs, A small feed of dry nay before turning out is a good practice. Water should be read- ily available in or near the pas- ture at all times. Avoid turn- ing on freshly irrigated pastures, and on pastures that are wet from natural precipitation or heavy dews, or coated wth frost. Good results in avoiding serious trouble have also been found to follow the use of grasses mixed with the alfalfa when seeding down a pasture. Cows prefer grass to alfalfa or sweet clover and will take the edge off their appetites with grass before feed- ing on the alfalfa. Therefore, if possible, use grasses mixed with alfalfa in seeding down perman- ent or semi-permanent pastures. As a specific jn case of severe bloat when the emergency does not quite call for the use of a tro- car, neutral oils used as a drench has given highly satisfactory re- sults. Many of the standard remedies which were used were effective, but imparted an odour to the milk, or had other objee- tionable features. Neutral oll, given alone as a drench in quan- tities as small as one pint, nas proven almost immediately ef- You Can Always Get A Bargain At THE ARCADE BOYS' BALBRIGGAN Shirts or Drawers A most unusual Bargain, All sizes 19¢ FOR TINY TOTS "SUN SUITS" They are real smart .In several shades. 75¢ REMEMBER THE 24th OF MAY--VICTORIA DAY BUNTING Red, White Extra Reg. 2215¢ quality. and Blue. 30 in, Special, Yard .

Mary Pickford Now Touring In Europe Southampton, Eng., May 20.-- (U.P.)--Mary Pickford arrived on the Bremen Monday for a holi. day in Europe and announced she would never again appear in a film with her husband, Douglas Fairbanks. She laughed at reports of an estrangement, however. "I'm afraid they can't sell me that idea," she said of the rumor- ed estrangement, 'no matter how much they try. My presence in England should be sufficient an- swer." Regarding her decision not to eo-star with Fairbanks again, she explained: 'His pace is too much for me. He goes 90 miles an hour, where as when I am av full speed I cnly, do 45. When | am on onc core ner of the strect, he is down the street and. into another theatre." Miss Pickford wore a ° black coat with large fur collar speckled hat. She proceedzd -at once to Westward Ho. Southampton, Eng., (A.P.)--Mary May 20.-- Pickford arrived Monday and drove to London to join her husband for what she called a 'second honeymoon." "We are going to visit the same places we saw on our honeymoon,' she said, "so it will be a real sec« ond wedding trip." An elaborate fitted motor car, a present from Mr, Fairbanks ta his wife, awaited her on the pier as she left the ship. She talked to her husband by telephone, learned of his elimination in the amateur golf tournament at Weste ward Ho, and started for London in the new car. A little girl who had been left to watch the soup, was presently heard to sing out, "Oh, mother, come quick, the soup Is getting bigger than the pot."
