that our subscription run out in may and i would like to renw it for on year we receive a number of publi cations her but im sum that i look for none wore anxiously than the home town paper it usually

we dont recervet it ulatll the following thursday it has been spring here for over a month now and the country is green and beautiful the pastures nnd roadsides nre covered with wildjlowers and in the garden there ore iris popples larkspur to say nothing of the rasas which nre at their best just now we have had some good rains lately and these have helped relieve the drought conditions here in the southwest with best regards yours truly mrs d c bessie mapletden maybe it sound crazy but i just feel as if i want to write only about the weather it is to beautiful- and there ia no belter place to appre ciate it than right here at home not only that but i have a new vantage pornt from which to enjoy the weather tliat is our rebuilt sun- room which faces southeast it is n job that has needed doing for years the front was falllrqf apart opd plaster dropping off the ceiling but until now there always seemed to- u eorneolherjobimore in need or urgent attention so trws sunroom degenerated into a catch all for the unwanted overflow from other nvoms the main part or the rebuilding is done but we still have to wait a month before we can get window sash for our picture window 6 feet by 5 the location of the sun- room is ideal from one corner we can see the highway from the op posite corner there is a lovely view of our neighbors bush which bor ders part of our farm providing a good shelter belt and a lovely background for our posture fields the immediate foreground is not so good there is thiv winter ash pile also an incinerator where 1 have been burning rubbish for three days fortunately such unsightly scenery is easily removed i dont know how much use the rest of the family will make of our sunroom but i know it is going to be wonderful for me i have never been able to sit out in the garden with my mending writing or read ing because the pesky mosquitoes torment me to such an extent that i have to seek refuge in the house now i shall be able to work relax do a spot of birdwatching and en joy the fresh air and sunshine that is once the windows and screens are on it is going to be wonderful the sunroom is where i am sitting now without benefit of windows and my first visitor has arrived through the empty window space noisy bumblebee flitting busily back and forth from the chestnut tree the starlings are holding a family conference by the way have you noticed that starlings have one call that is an ex act imitation of the comehither whistle commonly used by boys on the street to attract attention from the girls passing by now i wonder are boys imitating the starlings or is it the other way round on april 24th partner reported the return of the barn swallows at least one swallow was back and was immediately busy housed eaning and i mean exactly that this litvc swallow was in and out of the cow stable pecking vigorously at the ac cumulated rubbish in one of lost years nests flying away with it or just letting it drop to the floor i wonder if mr swallow objects to i housecleaning as strenuously ns 1 some other males and with as little result well there is one tiling we can not gef used to this spring that is the hum of neighbor tractors all around us while our own tractor sits silently in the driving shed as i may have mentioned before we are not putting in any crop at all this year as we have the entire farm down in grass we should at least have plenty of hay and pasture however the fact that we are not doing any seeding doesnt mean there is no work to do around here there are in fact enough clearing up jobs to do to keep partner and i busy all summer from daylight to dark which reminds me we have sur vived the first two mornings of daylight saving time and we found the changeover quitepainless we discovered it is just as easy to get up at 530 dst as at 530 standard time but we may find it harder to go to bed at 1030 which is our theoretical hour for retiring al though i always tell partner he ges in one sleep before bedtime and the rest of it afterwards however for that i am very thankful because i am sure it is partners ability to sleep that has kept him going ever since world war 1 what a blessingto go to bed and drop right off to sleep i cant sleep is such a common complaint although many people would shop a lot better if they didnt worry about keeping awake if steeples folk would only tell them selves that lying awake is not a major disaster that they are at least suited to larger figures of course resting their bodies then that j the rustling tatfeta slip is always thought alone would relax their

according to j laughlnnd field husbandry department ontario agricultural- college two new strains of oats which were devel oped at the college by crossing erban ani ajax gave the highest average yield of eight varieties in twentyseven regfonal tests con ducted- in 1051 seed of these strains is not available for distribution at the present time but if they con tinue to show superior qualities it is quite likely that at least one f them will be distributed in the near future in the meantime beaver ajax and erban can be relied upon to give satisfactory results they were all well up in the regional tests and the difference in yield between them was very slight roxton was also in the test and it yielded on the average about three bushels less than beaver was six inches taller and over a week later in maturing clinton yielded eight bushels less than beaver was six inches shorter and ripened four days earlier this variety does best on soils of high fertility three new strains of barley all developed at the oac by crossing galore and stephen were included in the regional tests and each of them produced around 45 bushels per acre which was 35 bushels more than galore and ten bushels more than oac no 21 these strains of barley are in the process of development and seed is not available at present montcalm and galore can still be relied upon suitable varieties until some of no time itor
