peas Ten cents a package and pick as you please. Now seeds are just dimes to the man in the store, And the dimes are the things that he needs; And I’ve been to buy them in seasons before, But have thought of them merely as seeds; But it flashed through my mind as I took them this time, “You have purchased a mirade l' here for a. dime!” “You’ve a dimes worth of power which no man can create You’ve a dimes worth of life in your hand! You’ve a dimes worth of mystery, des- tiny, fate, Which the wisest cannot understand In this little package, now isn’t it odd? You’ve a dimes worth of something known only to God!” These are seeds but the plants and the blossoms are here With their petals of various'kinds: In these little pellets, so dry and so queer, There is power no chemist can find. Here is one of God’s miracles soon to unfold, Thus for ten cents an ounce is Div- inity sold. (By request).â€"â€"Edgar Guest Announcement is made of an es- pecially interesting service that Will be held in Central United Church on Sunday evening next when Prof. J os. McCulley of Pickering College will be the special speaker and members of the Junior Farmers and Girls Club will be in attendance. The Junior Farmers choir with Mrs. K. Harring- ton in charge will present the musical part of the program.

It was a merry group of young“ folk that journeyed to Uxbridge on Mon- day evening last to visit the Y.P.S. of Uxbridge United Church. The pro- gram, in charge of the local group, included the story of the Prodigal Son told by Alfred Dyke, a “Golden Rule” story by Dorothy Carr, the Bible reading by Lloyd Stephenson, prayer by Bob Hiltz, vocal solo by James Walker, instrumental solo by Gladys Owen and the “Onionan Gazette” read by Mae Thurston. Ux- bridge Y.P.S. was in charge of the activities and after a delightful hour spent in games followed by refresh- ments the visitors reluctantly left for the home town. The lovely Spring days, although a. little late in arriving, have made a decided change in the appearance of the lawns and gardens, it has been “cleanâ€"up week” and' neighbors aré vying with each other in getting seeds planted. The past seVere season has caused the loss of many choice plants so that flower lovers are finding the need of re-planting some of their favorites. And of course boys and girls are remembering to help in keep ing the lawns in good condition by not cutting any corners across them even if it means rescuing the beloved ball. We need the coâ€"operation of the little folk in sustaining Unionville’s reputation for being- one of the beauty spots of the province. A minerature summer resort is be- ing planned by Mr. H. H. Powers and‘ cottages are being erected along the Rouge River directly south of High- way No. 7 south of the village. 1411-.

Castator, Vaughan township farmer, was still missing- to-day, although more than a score of his neighbors, headed by local police, had marched the territory adjacent to his farm. The search is being prose- cuted by County Constables DeFef- rari and Sydney Barraclough. At an outdoor meeting of the Horti- cultural Society on Thursday, April 19th, Prof. L. Caesar of the Ontario Agricultural College gave much prac- tical information regarding the care of fruit trees and their protection from disease. The Richmond Hill Public Library will reâ€"open on the usual schedule commencing Saturday evening next, May 5th, at 7 p.m., in the new quar- ters in the Municipal Building. Pruning a small plum tree badly in- fested with Black Knot, the speaker demonstrated how this serious disease could be controlled. The disease is spread, he said, by very small spores wheich he identified through a micro- scope for those present, on the sur- face of the swelling which is known as black knot. About this time of year these spores loosen and blow away with the wind, finding lodge- ment on the wet bark of other branches and other trees. Here they germinate and develop into new knots. Therefore and cutting out of knots should be done either late in autumn or early spring, previous to this date or before the spores ripen. All knots cut out should be immed- iately burned as the spores will ripen and spread even after cut off the tree unless they are detroyed. That is, a wooden pistol will cow Ia jailer who has just discovered a roll of bills in his hand. In addition to cutting out knots, all trees should be well sprayed with a solution of Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur as early in spring as possible, at least before growth starts; and later applications of spray f01 protection against plum curculis and rot when the fruit is about the size of a pea will also assist in con- trolling black knot. Prof. Caesar stated that with a little coâ€"operatibn and general spray- ing in a community it is comparative- 1y easy to wipe out black knot, and referred to a law which empowers any municipality to compel its control. By proper procedure in the appoint- ment of an inspector the Government will pay one half the cost of the ex- pense incurred and if the inspector does his duty it is not difficult to eliminate this plague from any com- munity. Richmond Hill Public Library will re-open Saturday of this week. The new premises have been completely renovized and now present a very inviting appearance. The books have all been catalogued and the many improvements are sure to please the patrons of the Library. This disease is so serious a pest in this community that many people will not attempt to grow plums. Surely we should not surrender to disease when it can be controlled, for the soil and climate of Richmond Hill are Well suited for the growth of this desirable fruit. Why can we not eliminate this disease without the use of an inspects or. This is spring cleaning itime, why not in the cleaning up process, now cut down all seedling and useless plum and cherry trees, whether Wild or cultivated, on and around our properties, along fences and in out of the way places, for the disease can- not be controlled by treating bearing trees if these wild trees are left to spread it. And if trees are cut down let us not forget to burn them at once, for brush piles of black knot are just as much a menace as living trees. A BEER SCREEN (Meaford Mirror) Shouting about beer will not surely take up the time in an election re- quired for the discussion of vastly more important subjects such as pro- vincial finance, hydro, excessive costs and efficient administration. There are great subjects to be discussed with the electorate and they should not be hidden under a frothy screen of beer talk. Missing Dad Mother (to small child): No, pet, your daddy is not dead.
