Trying to answor the question "what is the best plant to use as a hedge?" is about as satisfactory as naming one medicine as a cure for all diseases. Varying tastes and different conditions make a single choice impossible. The plant must be hardy enougl to come through the winter withâ€" out killing back and it must be able to stand clipping. Clipping is important today, as the new t{fl: of "functional" architecture, C for simple horizontal lines lines in the planting, which are well carried out by no:fi trimmed low hedges,. This archiâ€" tecture is even bringing back the simpler forms of topiary work s0 popular in hedge trimming in Briâ€" tain one hundred years or more ago, says R. W. Oliver, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. _ Hedges are now being used with thickened buttresses and high points to mark corners and to emphasize doorways. Such hedges can only be formed of plants with small leaves and firm growth such as Korean Box, Japâ€" anese yew, alpine currant Or priâ€" vet. If a low hedge is needed, Korâ€" ean box as an evergreen, and dwarf barberry as a deciduous hedge, are probably the best. For a hedge up to four feet high, the best evergreen is Japanese yew while alpine currant, and in mild districts, privet, are the best deciâ€" duous plants If the need is to keep out the neighbors‘ dogs, thorny hedges such as hawthorn or boney locust are useful; and as tall he&e.s for privacy, horway Spruce, or Chinese Elm should be C omm o 9 ; 11M0! of J HHIZZN POULNCS NATINE The opponents of free and untrammelled democracy will not‘y c _ /,oncq To be accepted by‘ agree with what they term the lack of peaceful intent backed UP|the Board, honey must be pasâ€"| 8 . by active evidence of good faith.

Between the opening of school {last September and the closing for the Easter holidays, 149 children were victims of traffic accidents in Toronto. In 95 of these acciâ€" dents, children of from 5 to 9 {years of age were involved; in 39 |the children were between the Iags of 9 and 12. In 71 of the ‘eases, the children were on their [ way to or from school.

They illustrate, too, the necessity for training little children to awareâ€" ness of the dangers of the streets. Support Board Now Purchasing Honey The Board points out that this purchase is designed to assist proâ€" ducers by relieving the market of a surplus of honey, thus enabling the industry as a whole to satisâ€" factorily dispose of remaining stocks.

If a single accident mars the record of any school Ayâ€" ing the flag, it is taken down by a police officer and a short talk is given to the assembled pupils.

During the first year of operation the green penâ€" nant program reduced child acciâ€" dents by 44 per opnt. Although 195 children were injured in 1947â€" 1948, 35 schools were able to keep their flag figing all year without a single accident. > An Editorial in The Toronto Telegram As the laying season advances, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a high rate of production from the laying flock. The results of inherited and management facâ€" tors commence segregating out at different levels and the flockownâ€" er must make use of all known characteristics of good and poor layers in his selection work if proâ€" fitable flock production is to be maintained, says Prof. J. F. Franâ€" cis, Poultry Department, Ontario Agricultural College. If production is to continue over a long period of time, the body weight of the bird must be mainâ€" tained or increased. There should never be any reduction in the amount of feed given simply beâ€" cause of a slight decrease in proâ€" duction. Such a drop at this time of year would suggest, however, that it is time for another culling of the flock. A daily high per cent production can only be mainâ€" tained by the rigid and frequent culling out of nonâ€"layers. CONTINUE CULLING TO MAINTAIN HIGH PRODUCTION Here again, as in all previous culings, any birds that are out of condition due to ill health should be removed from the flock. The approach of warm weather inâ€" creases broodiness and these birds s))xould be taken out and marke_g;_ Many poor layers molt early in the Summer and molt slowly, whereas the high lal.yers molt in the late Summer or Fall and molt heavilyâ€"frequently drop ping most of their feathers within a few days. _ Rememberâ€"for efficient proâ€" ductionâ€"KEBP THE BEST and CULL THE REST.

Mr. Bruce gave actual study of the experience of the 1948 season when the soil losses through waâ€" ter runâ€"off was shown by piles of soil spread on tables before the council members. There were several soil piles illustrating the difference between up and town cultivation and the new tpe of contour cultivation with the reâ€" sults very definitely in the favor of the contour plowing in the matâ€" ter of soil loss count. Passersâ€"by may have noticed the tanks, etc. which are used on this demonâ€" stration Flot and it is in this way! the rainfall and runâ€"off measureâ€"| ments are measured throughout the entire season. There are eight plots being used in the conservaâ€"| tion project in order that two, fourâ€"year rotations may be underâ€" taken. Last year was the initial! ‘trial year and it revealed that corn on the contour held thinyl L%, more soil and eight times| re water than that which was| planted up and down. On the falâ€", low plots contour cultivation showed that twelve times as much | soil and six times as much water, was conserved as under $§z and down _ cultivation. .

In schools and in factories our workers, young and old, are given the opportunity to develop new and specific skills in every field of business and ims’nslriul activity. For instance, every effort on the part of workera to become proficient in the art of shaping and moulding copper and brass, will mean greater induatrial progress wilflwlp to make Ontario a finer place in which to live and work. IN Ontario the wheels of industry turn for the benefit of every single one of us. Our lathes, dynamos, drill presses, farm combines, tractors, business machines, etc. are ‘muluring gooda and services which earn dollars. These dollars provide food, clothing, medical care and other necessities which conâ€" tribute to our security and high standard of living. Every single one of us, therefore, has a very personal interest in the flow o’a steady supply of trained workers to induatrial plants." These workers will operate machines which are important to our way of life. HANDS IN TRAINING ...
