These are but a few of their vict- ories. and many more are being finalized such as. improved belt linings. standard dress sizes for women and children, standard siz- es for men's shoes, and the elimin- ation of soap coupons. which will mean in lower price.

The witness noticed nothing unusual about his manner and found him the same as usual. and having no sickness of a serious nature over the years.

The second witness. Vance Strickland, farmer. Murray River was called to the scene by his wife. After notifying R.C.M.P., he rowed to the body with his son, and returned leaving every- thing as it was, to wait the ar- rival of the R.C.M.P.

would be satisfactory. Side dress- ings during the growing season of sulphate of ammonia or am- monium nitrate may be benefic- ial Turnip fertilizer containing boran would be the complete fer- tilizer recommended.

The seed may be planted in beds and transplanted to its growing location or it may be sown direct. Experiments to de- termine which method will be more satisfactory in this Prov- ince are being carried on at the Experimental Farm, here. this season. As these crops are mem- bers of the same family as .tur- nlps and cabbage, they should not be grown where club root organ- isms are present in the soil. Any member of the turnip family should not be planted back in the same field any oftencr than ev- ery four or five years.

Transplanting: Transplanting is usually done by hand, but plant- settiitg machines can also be used. In this area, seed should be planted the last two weeks in May and transplanted three or four weeks later.

The rows are usually spaced 2'i to 3 feet apart and cauliflow- er may be spaced about 18 inch- es apart in the rows and broccoli and brusseli sprouts 20 to 24 in- ches apart in the rows.

Cultivation: Cultivation should be frequent enough at first to control weeds and prevent exces- sive surface crusling. Later On. the dense growing plants will pretty well control woods. irriga- tion would likely result in in- creased yicltls during most sea- sons in this Province.

After being tied the head: should be examined frequently to "lake Certain they do not become over developed.

Harvesting Broccoli: Unlike cauliflower. broccoli requires no blanching.

The head 'of broccoli ready for- harvesting is a cluster of ilnopen. ed ilower buds. if these are al- lowed to go past maturity. these buds develop into yellow nowe;-3 similar to turnip blossoms. The heads should be harvested before the buds have opened enough to show yellow. When they have reached the proper maturity. they are cut with about eight inches of stem attached. After the main head is cut, there will be a num- her of smaller side shoots devel- op.

While the main central head will measure three to six inches in diameter, the smaller side clusters will only be one to three liiches in diametcr. These, how- ever. are of excellent quality for freezing.

Harvesting Brussel Sprouts: Harvesting usually begins 3 to 31.4: months after setting plants, The edible portion of this plant resembles miniature cabbages and are borne around the main stalk of the plant. The field will have to be gone over and picked sev- eral iimes after the first sprouts are ready. As these, plants are quite resistant to frost, iiarvcst-l ing can he continued into late autumn.
