the few months Just past gulggiirlxlllllluellt officials and private "oncerna in this province have been ' vin much thought to the pos- sibiliies offered by development and expansion in the field of Horti- culture. Since our province has be- some very well known as the "Car- den of the Gulf" it is probably with some surprise that many peo- ple from within and outside our boundaries realise that the quantity of "Island" Horticultural products on the market is so limited. It is, therefore. quite natural that we should become interested in increas- mg our production of fruits and vegetables to supply the demand for these products in both the fresh mu processed state. when considering um matter the first two questions which should arise are "What can we produce ,.-atisfactorily?" and "For what can we find adequate and remunera- iive ma.rkets?". It would certainly appear that several crops would satisfactorily answer these questions but as yet we have had very lit- tle experience with many of them. Howcv . we have, for several years, been growing one crop for lvlilch our conditions have proven favourable and which has general- lv given its growers quite profit.- ibio returns. Strawberries have been grown rather extensively. i mine areas of our province and to a limited extent in most other areas. Already it has become evident that our yields are consistently higher than those obtained in the other Maritime province and it is quite ifflltltllll that through improved cul- tural practices we can increase our present yields. A few years ago marketing of the sii'awbei'l'y crop in years of high yields presented a problem but since the formation of the three Strawberry Exchanges and the introduction of Strawberry proces- sing this problem has gradually been overcome. Presently the pro- duction of our 300 acres is greatly inadequate to supply the constantly .ncreaslng demand for processed strawberries in addition to those inquired for the fresh fruit mar- ket. Through speaking with individ-

unis closely connected with and interested in the strawberry busi- ness we find thamhey are gene;-g1. ly quits enthusiastic about the fu- ture of the strawberry trade and are very anxious to see. consider- able expansion in the growth of this crop. In strawberries we have an established trade which has proven successful but which could benefit many .more people and operate more efficiently if it were expand- ed.
To those who are planning to establish a strawberry plantation next spring we would like to sug- gest that they, in the near future decide upon the number of plants they will require and make neces- sary arrangements regarding pur- chase of these plants. It weather permits it would also be advisable to select the land this fall and to get an application of manure plow- ed under.
We would finally point out that the members of the Department are at all times pleased to hear from and assist the growers in any way possible.

for the young calf. Cleanliness in feeding. Teaching the calf to drink and the quantity of whole milk were discussed. In next weeks coli- cluding article of this series the Importance of good hay for calves and skim milk feeding will be dealt with. . To avoid indigestion and scours, feed the calf at regular hours. Calves allowed to become too hun- gry between feedings will often take their food in gulps, with the re- sult that acute indigestion, bloat, diarrhea, or even death may fol- low. Do not guess at the amount of milk to be fed, weigh it ac- curately.
Many cases of scours and diges- tive troubles are due to the fact that gruel feeding often results in the souring of left-over feed in buckets and troughs. To avoid this danger and also to reduce labour. many farmers prefer the dry feed- ing method. Calves can be raised successfully without mess or fuss

Keep good quality leafy green bay in front of the calves at all times. At three weeks, gradually thin out the milk with water until at the end of the fifth week the calf gets no milk at all.

Such questions come to all of us from time to time, In youth of course. they are of burning im- portance. But few of us outgrow them altogether. A thumb-nail biographical sketch of Emily Carr. Canadian painter, in the last issue of a widely read publication, sparked them for me.

THE REAL YOU
In her youth she studied art in England and France and then came back to leach art in her home - town. Understandably enough, the modern art she had learned, then at its most extreme beginnings, did not appeal to the conservative people of Victoria. They thought her paintings were. ”slmply terrible”. Even now many would find a conventional com- position of water and sky and sailing boats more pleasing than her pointing, ”Blunden Harbor" (reproduced with ilie biographical sketch), of primitive, Indian sculp- tures poised grimly and power- fully on is dock.
Emily Carr use turned down as is teacher of art and opened a boarding house and hooked rugs and made pottery to earn a live- ljhood. With the extra sensitive- ness of the artist, she felt that she as xvell as her gift was re- jected by the community and like a. child who feels unwanted, she, became defiant.
The writer of the sketch speaks of her as "frumpy and acidulous" and that "she would plod through the staid streets of Victoria with a monkey on her shoulder-while
neighbors sneered-or froze with disdain." The picture is probably over-
done. but it is evident that Emily Carr went out of her way to show the neighbors she didn't care, for their opinion (revealing how much she did care!) and they generally speaking, made no bones about

Emily Carr was known as "The Laughing One" by the Indians in the fishing villages north of Vic- toria where she went to paint as often as her finances would per- mlt.
The Indians had no preconcelved theories of art. and her work pleased them. She was happy among them, and they liked and admired her. She felt is kinship with llir-sn and at home. She wrote: "You must learn to feel the pride of the Indian in his an- cestors. and the pinch of the cold raw damp of the West Coast. and the smell and flavor of the wood smoke. and the, sting of it in your eyes-'
