Maintains iialuo 0f Potato Parsing

"A man can grow potatoes and still be a good farmer." submitted Mr. George Macxay. Liberal mem- ber for Fourth Prince during the debate on the draft address in the Legislature yesterday.

Every man in the Fourth Dis- trict of Prince is a potato grower and a large one, he stated, but ,ihey all carry heavy stock. The

nice system of rotation and with applications of manure and lime the farms were kept in a high state of productivity.

Klnkora. he believed. was one of the most thriving communities in the Province. He had seen large herds of cattle in that area and visited one farm the other day where 80 head of cattle were stabled.

He did not think there was one vacant farm in Fourth Prince Dis- trict A few were vacated in the depression years. but they have been put into operation since.

With regard to the talk about boys leaving the farms, he stated that boys had always been leaving the farms because they found they did not like or were not suited for the life. "if they did not leave the farms there would be an awful scarcity of doctors and lawyers."

he added.

Mr. MacKay maintained that Fourth Prince was one of the most progressive agricultural districts in the Province and related how elec- tricity had been provided to that area during the past four years through the efforts of three private individuals. '

Dairy Production

22 per cent of the butter pro- duced in the Province was man- ufactured in the Fourth Prince District. he stated, and that dis- irict also contained the leading cheese and butter producers.

He felt that the district should receive special consideration in the distribution of road machinery and snow plows as it was the gateway to the whole Province during the spring and fall when the Wood Islands ferry was tied up and all traffic to and from the Island passed through Fourth Prince.

He stated that some of the roads would have to be paved this year and urged the Government 9) commence ihis road work as soon as possible.

He hoped that the production of potatoes would not, decrease to any great extent. In many school districts, is number of families de- pend upon day labor for their EX- lstence. A man producing from 25 to 50 ncres of potatoes pays out from 31.000 to 32,000 a year in day labor.'

He commended the Government for not letting the C. N. R take over control of the highways in the Province. He stated that good service was being given by re-

cesses to operate.

For the great majority of seeds started there is little to be gained and conside able risk in getting them in the ground before the soil and tbepair have definitely turned warm and our long Canadian win- ters are really over. But, of course, there are some exceptions.

Jobs that might have been done last fall. if the weather or some other reason interfei-red. are an example. Under this rough clas- sificaiion will come the planting of trees. shnrbs. and most lawn

work. in this category, too, will be sweet peas, which must be. planted as early as possible if! they are to do well. This sort of gardening can start just as sooni as the last snow has gone and' the soil is dry enough to digv without puddling. ' SWEET PEAS-with sweet peas one should follow planting direc- tions closely; that is, sow in the richest possible soil and in a abal- low trench. These plants must get I growth before the weather turns warm. For their roots they level a good mulch of rotted leaves with some well rotted manure. On top place a few inches of soil. Later on something to climb on must be provided. Best materials for this are some of the branches the good gardener will be prun- ii-lg off -his trees and shrubbery just now. Normally sweet peas will grow about three to four feet tall. but in Wutern Canada and some other areas where this plant really nourishes much more than this will be necessary. When bloom starts these should be re- moved daily in order to encour- age long stems and continuous blossoming.

LAWN WORK EARLY-Grass seed is another thing that should go in while the weather is cool. High quality mixtures as put up by reputable Canadian seed houses are much the best. Good seed mixtures cost more than the other kinds because these are the only ones that contain the right proportions of various grasses for permanent results.

Seed should be broad- ': cast two ways, once across once lengthwise. for even results and of course, where there is link. or no wind. A little brush or wire will protect from birds until the grass gets well started. For the first cutting a very sharp mower is advised. otherwise the tasder eras may be pulled right out by the roots.

Grass like other plants will benefb from good rich soil and an annual application of well roiled manure or a chemical fer- tilizer rich in nitrogen. An oc- cssional application of bone meai' will add to depth of color. Wall fed grass will crowd out a lot of weeds. but of course we can al- ways expect some of these pests. The once arduous jobs of spudding or digging them out. however, has been almost eliminated by the new 2-4-D chemical killers now on the market.

PRUNING-Anytime from now' until June is the best time for pruning most sbrulbbery and trees. A good general rule to re-. member is that early bloomlru shrubs like Forsytliia and Spiroa should be pruned after blooming. late-r blossoming ones before or first thing in the spring.
