1 l m; sunny Out Our Way

It's s. good plan, say those with experience, to try something entire-

ly new each year. By adding a flower or vegetable each seasonone will make new and pleasing discoveries widen the range of interest and also value.

It should be remembered that the job of the plant breeder has been continuous. Each year he discovers new types and varieties. turning out better or hardier plants that will do well in a wider range of climate in Canada.

In addition to brand new flowers and vegetables, new shades have been added to old standbys among the flowers. and earlier, more tender varieties to standard vege- tables. Some of the old favorites of our fathers and grandfather's days, would hardly. be recognized today. Flowers have been greatly improved in sine and color and vegetables are better too.

It is s good plan to go oveg-Vthe new seed catalogues carefully and note some o: these improvements. Even for the colder parts of Oen- ada it is now possible to get varieties of early corn, tomatoes,

‘ and such semi-tender.

JIM WILLIAMQ

He has been called the Will Rogers of the newspaper comic pages and the Mark Twain of illus- trated humor, but he is neither.

He is Just Jim Williams; artist, philosopher. humorist, student of human nature and human beings large and small,- a lover of dogs, horses, the woods and the hills, the vastness of the western piﬂlflﬂ, the glory of a sunset and the gentle rlppic of a stream. He looks upon himself with humility, this great interpreter of American life and ways. and wishes he could bet- ter express the sympathy and love (hat he has for human frailties and the grandeur of God's nature.

These thing! are being said to- day because March 30 is the 00th birthday of James n. Williams, whose famous cartoon “Out our Way" is. published in upwards of one thousand newspapers over the rountry and has been so published for B years. rt has never missed a day.

Jim employs no "gag" writers nor does he lean upon suggestions even from his closest friends. The human episodes ‘which he unfolds in his daily cartoons and which bring laughter, tears or nostalgic memories to his readers, are the product of more than Jim's brain- they come from his loveable soul.

Soldier, cowhand (he'd resent being called s cowboy) and machine shop worker, before be- coming a cartoonist. Jim is steeped in human experience, and over the years as he has rend and ob- scrved more and more of human thought and actions he has grown to his present stature,

‘ Bu: Jim's estimate of himself is host summed up in this little story: He was riding horseback with a friend in the Arizona cow country when he turned suddenly in his saddle to inquire whether his friend's adolescent children "paid any attention" m what his

things that will do well. The plant breeders have made this possible fry selecting very early maturing types and breeding from these. Certainly this point should be considered in making up the list of purchases. And it is also well to sdd scmethlng that, so far as the reader is concerned, is entirely new. but that is recommended for his locality.

This may be broad beans, or a watermelon, or broccoli, table; turnips, Brussels sprouts, swiss chinese cabbage, hybred endlivc or some of the herbs. None of these things are entirely new, though certain varieties of them f

Crop operations this grear are hastened by increases in the supply of mechanized equipment.

First emphasis is on greater po- tato production so that rsxon- ing, now three pounds a head weekly, can be eliminated. Farm surveys indicate the desired acre- age will be planted.

The wheat target for England and Wales is 2.300.000 acres and winter wheat sowlngs were esti- mated at 2.000.000 leaving 300,000 for spring wheat.

"In spite of difficult weather conditions last spring the wheat acreage then planted was 100.000 so it looks as if the target of total of 2,300,000 can be achieved this year." the N. F. U. spokesman suid.
