Thornhill District News The value of soil survey to Cana- dian agriculture, both now and in the future, is discussed in an article in the May Agricultural Institute Re- view, contributed. by P. C. Stobbe, who specializes in soil and agricul- tural engineering in the Division of Field Husbandry, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. SOIL SURVEYS AID The Mission Banc‘i’g of Théfnhill Un- ited Church held theilj picnic. at Riv- erdale Park. J, Sketching the early development of soil surveys in Canada from their in- itiation by the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, some 34 years ago, Mr. Stobbe points out that soil surâ€" veys are now carried on in all prov- inces through co-operation of pro- vincial departments of agriculture, agricultural colleges and the Exper- imental Farm Service of the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture. Mrs. G. Wells has returned after spending a week With ffjgnds at Bol- ton. The approximate area surveyed to date by all types 'of survey is about 214 million acres, of which about 135 million acres are occupied land and only 77 million acres are improved farm land. Most of the unoccupied land has been covered only by broad reconnaisance surveys to determine roughly its potentialities and to de- termine where most detailed work is justified. There are still about 35 million acres of occupied1 land and some 14 million acres, of improved farm land which have not been cover- ed by soil surveys‘of any kind, al- though scine preliminary inspection trips have been made. Last week. Mr, and Mrs. Craw- ford and Ronny of Thornhill, and Mr. Edgar Simpson of Kirklan‘d Lake and Miss Winnifred Simpson of Tor- onto spent a few days visiting an aunt; Mrs. Puckring, of Kenmore, New York. ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Wesle-y Thompson Robert and Marilyn of Mattawa, Ont are spending a few days with Mrs Robert Thompson. Lecturing on the culture and care of delphinium, Mr. P. Bone was guest speaker at North Toronto Horâ€" ticultural Society’s July meeting held in Castlefield Baptist Church re- cently. Mr. Bone produced samples from his garden here. Mr. Stohbe points out that soil surveys are not an end in them- selves; their gré‘aiest contribution probably is in providing a basis for further investigation. They have aided greatly already in the estab- lishment of soil-climatic zones which are broadly associated with different types of farming, crop zoning and fertility requirements. The location of important agricultural develop- ments, such as irrigation and conser- vation profects, are based on soil surveys and similarly, sub-marginal land which should be taken out of cultivation is determined through surveys. The csta‘blishmént of areas suitable' for production of special crops such as tobacco, apple orchards, sugar-beets, fibre-flax, and market- garden crops, all owe much to‘ the work of the soil surveyor. - |-o- um -u“ -0")- --0.« - j 'Wmom “How long have you been working here?"

Richmond Hill Now that it's on in July the hot weather can make the plants flag and lose their brightness, and a little fob which may need doing at times this month is watering. One way of doing this job is to just stand holding the hose, but the trouble is‘no one usually wants to stand long enough to give the soil a proper soaking. There is no use in giving the garden a swish over with the hose every night or so. It’s far better to give it p. good soaking say about once a week. A good sprink- ler is a useful thing to have, but re- member to leave it long enough in one position so that the soil gets well soaked. Another system I like to use is to take a piece of board six inches wide, and about two and a half feet long, and put it on the ground among the plants to be watered. Next take the hose without the noz- zle on it and place this open end at one end of the board. When the water is turned on part way, not full, it runs onto the board and flows off the sides and end. The board breaks the force of the water and spreads it so that the soil doesn‘t get washed about. By leaving it in one place for. about 10 minutes, the ground gets It's remarkable how much growth the dahlias make during the summer and in gardens where you see them making good growth, they are in well drained soil, well supplied with hum~ a good soaking, and the moisture will get well down into the soil where it can do some real good. Fertilizer us and plant food. But besides the fertilizer worked into the soil before or at planting time, applications dur- ing the summer are often advisable too. You could put some on now, say a couple of ounces to a plant, using a good commercial fertilizer. Sprinkle it in a circle about the plant 5 or 6 inches out from the stem. La- ter on when the buds are beginning to appear you could put on another application. This will help to bring out the size and colour. Chrysanthemums are very heavy feeders too; and they appreciate a good fertile soil. I‘d say give them some fertilizer now, sprinkling a lit- tle about each plant. Do it again about the end of the month and again towards the end of August. Some growers like to give their plants some liquid fertilizer every' 2 or 3 weeks. A tablespoon of Nitrate of Soda or Sulphate of Ammonia dis- solved in a gallon of water makes a good solution to use. Pour about a pint of this about each plant and then follow with a pint of clear wa- ter. This will help carry it right down to the roots where it can be made use of very readily. While I'm on the subg'ect of these two plants I might just mention about the tarnished plant bug, or as- ter bug as it is sometimes known. This is one of the worst pests of these two plants. It attacks the buds and causes the flowers to open in a very poor fashion .. . many of them are quite lopsided and distorted. DDT has shown up quite well in the control of this insect, and either 1i- quid or dust forms may be used. Frequent dusting with derris dust seems to deter the insects pretty well tOO. ‘ Planting Iris Iris plants set at this time 01‘ through August will have a Chance to get established before winter, and then too you are more likely to get some bloom next spring. Of course actually you can move iris almost anytime as long as the ground isn’t frozen. lBut when they are planted during July or August, they seem to take hold better, make some g00d roots. and go ahead with much less check in their development. Iris does ‘well in sandy o'r gravelly loams, but I think a soil a bit on the clay side is really about the best. However, no matter what kind of soil you have one of the main things is to see that it is well drained. The bearded iris just won’t thrive in wet or waterlogged soils. They give the best results in growth and bloom when they're planted in a bright spot. They like a good fertile soil and will benefit from the addition of humus, but don’t put on manure at planting time. If it is used it should i)(- worked in well in advance of planting time. Bone meal and supâ€" erphosphate are somewhat similar in their feeding value and are about the best fertilizers for iris. The mainkthing _to remember in the actual planting operation is. not to ONTARIO GARDENER RAMER & SON, Phone 10 The Eievator ‘iave our pansies in flower. Shade is a help so you might pick a spot that 'rets the morning sun but is shaded during- the afternoon. A loam well supplied with humus and a little on the sandy side is best. If you have a clay soil add a little peat moss or eaf mold and some sharp sand. A very good way to plant the seed is n rows. Mark out the rows about 4 inches apart then sprinkle the seed thinly along the rows. Press it gent- ly into the soil and cover with about a of an inch of sandy loam. Don’t forget to watch the watering care- fully until the seedlings are up . _ . they usualy take about 10 days to germinate. Frequent sprinkling will likely be necessary to get good ger- mination. I plant too deeply. The top of the rhizome should have only one inch of soil over it. They don’t like to be planted deeply, and anyway it en- courages rots which are often fatal to the plant. After you get it in the ground, firm the soil well about the "Jts and if it’s dry give a good wa- tering. For the spacing of the plants I would say to have them at least 18 to 24 inches apart. Sowing Pansies It’s just about time to be sowing pansy seed. From a sowing made during the latter part of July or ear- ly in August, you’ll have a fine show- 'ng of bloom next spring, and I think that’s when most of us like to IIIIIIIICT.IIHIIIEIHII U monvlllc Barber Shop VACATION CLOSING GORDON B.
