Lamxstafi~ Baptist Church Notes A speedy recovery to three mem- bers of the Primary Departmen: who have contracted chicken-pox: Joanne'McLean, Marilyn and Ber- nard Warnica. Mr. Herb Foster, present pastor of the Church announced at Sunday School last Sunday morning that he would be unable to carry on the {vork into the Fall. so it would therefore be necessary to call an- other minister. On Wednesdayev- ening following the Prayer Meeting, there will be a. short business meet- ing to vote on the question of call- ing‘ Rev. Rutter as pastor, and all members unable to attend were ur- wed to mail their votes. At a pre- vious meeting, it had been decided that a lot for a parsonage should be ourchased and a building fund com- menced. In this connection Mr. Spencely was appointed treasurer. Guest speaker on Sunday morning was Mr. David Smith, principal of Langstafl‘ Public School. Relating the story of the rich- young ruler, Found in.the Gospel according to Matthew Mr. Smith emphasized that this young man was of fine character, yet realized he lacked scmething‘. While apparently p05- sessing every good habit, his love of money was his downfall, for when Christ eommanded him to sell all he owned and give it to the poor, he chose to put his wealth first, and in repecti‘n‘g Christ committed the 1m- pardona‘ble sin. In conclusion, Mr. Smith advised the immediate accep- tance of Christ and the putting of Him first. Birthday grsetinqs were extended to Ruth and Ethei Layzell and Dor- een Reaman.

HOUSE The injury is caused by the raspâ€" berry cane borer. It’s a beetle about half an inch long, and it has a black body with a yellow back. They us- ually attack new canes about 4 to 8 inches below the tip where they out two rings about the stem. In be- tween these rings an egg is laid The egg hatches into a ye“o\risn grub which bores a short distance down the stem. This usually com- pletes its work for the season and it stays there in the stem over the winter. The following year the grub starts to work again and bores right down through the cane. to the root, with the result that it kills the plant. If you notice any wilting tips, cut them off 2 or 3 inches below the girdling rings. If you do this, then you usually remove the eggs or grubs before much actual harm is done. Strawberry Plants The other day I was talking to a chap and he mentioned that in his raspberry patch he had noticed that the tips of some of the new canes had wilted. He said that the wilted part was only about 4 or 5 inches long and 'just below it the stem had been circled with what looked like a ser- ies of little punctures. There were two of these girdles, about half an inch apart. of Sunday, July 25th) By Bob Keith, Richmond Hill Raspberry Pests No doubt many of you set out some strawberry plants this spring, and by now they should be making lots of runners and filling up the rows. In some cases there will pro- bably be too many runners, and a little thinning may be necessary. Ac- tually the runners should be spaced about 4 to 6 inches apart. In com- mercial planting this Would "mean extra work and expense which might not pay, but in the home garden it wouldn’t be much of a job to attend to. During; the summer and fall keep the cultivator going to keep down the weeds and to keep the SOiI in a good friable condition so that the runners will root and get es- tablished more quickly. These new- ly-form-ed plants will be somewhat shallowlyâ€"rooted at first. Work carefully around them so that the roots are not disturbed. The Development of the Strawberry Plant An interestinng thing about the de- velopment of the strawberry plant is that the condition of the plant in the fall has a great deal to do with the crop the following season. Along in September and October the begin- nings of the fruit buds start to form. The presence of sufficient nitrogen in the soil at this time stimulates this fruit bud develop- ment, so that applications in Aug- ust and September of fertilizer con- taining nitrogen can be very beneâ€" ficial. Nitrate‘of soda is a very good thing to use for this. It doesn’t take much â€" all you need is half a pound for every 100 square feet of bed. It’s a fairly strong fertilizer so to be on the safe side it would probably be a good idea to divide it in half. Put half.of it on in the latter part of August and the other half about two weeks later. If you can’t get the nitrate of soda a good commercial fertilizer could be deed. Get one containing around 4 per cent nitro- gen and put it on at the rate of about two pounds to 100 square feet of bed. Setting Out Plants Commercial growers and most home gardeners too, find that the best time to set out strawberry plants is in the spring. Strawber- ries like the cool moist conditions usually prevail in the spring, and planting at that time gives them‘a chance to become well established and to make good strong plants by fall. These are the kind of plants which will bear the best crop the fol- lowing year. However, ‘some gard- eners do set out plants in August or early in September, but with plant- ing at that time you can’t expect to get as good a crop as you wbuld from spring planting. â€" one beautiful, big and red, and the other small and green.
