one of the very first Jobs claim- ing the attention of the Canadian gardener whether he lives in Neva si-otio. or the Peace River District o; Alberta will be the ordering ‘and later on the planting of nursery stock. The latter is a broad term covering all sorts of pemianent things such as rose bushes, fruit and ornamental trees, shrubbery gliinbcrs and similar plants that go on year after year. General rules call for early ordering to avoid disappointment where specific var- lelics are wanted and getting these into the ground as soon as possible.

1n high priced ‘shrubs and roses naturally stocks carried_ are not largo and the early order will get me preference. Source Ls of vital importance. Prices vary widely some times but the buyer should remembcre that. quality varies just n; widely. Good nursery stock must be stored in moist rather dark quarters. It come with the roots carefully packed in moss or other moisture retaining material. Stems are pliant and should carry a fair numbcr of live sprouting buds. Wood if there is any, is green and llant. It is possible to pick up roses and other common shrubs for about two thirds the average price but stock so varied is usually small or dried out and not likely to make the all important quick start. In some cases. such stock may even be left over cull material of the lowwt quality and incorrectly named.

Nursery stock must be planted as soon as pos<lblc after receipt. If the vrouncl is frozen hard outside. horiiculturists advise opening the panel and storing the plants in 101118 cool dim place and make sure that tho roots are kept well mois- iciicrl and not exposed to the air. li the ground is soft outside but it

is n11; couvcnicnt to plant in pcr-'

maurnt positions. nursery material 1112-.» bc temporarily planted closc ioglthcr in a shallow trench with soil pressed down firmly about the roots. Provided the plants selected are ilardy‘ 1'11 the district where they ale to be planted. and they must be h:l1‘(!y of course to survive pennan- en..y, they should be planted just as 1:011 as the ground is fit to work.

These annuals will make their full growth in a few weeks and bloom 131051126111 from next June until frost. Vegetable gardens too, can be developed in a few weeks and will give ample returns in the same year.

Even a fair layout of grounds can be carried out by the tenant, Quick growing grass will make a very fine lawn in less than six weeks and one infinitely better than a patch of mixed grass and weeds. Instead of permanent shrubbery and climber: a persual of any good seed catalogue will disclose many bushy annuals among the flowers and some climbers which will grow up to 20 feet in a few months. There are at least a score of big bushy annuals which reach a

years was recorded in the D ‘ber survey of i936. the estimated ‘number being 4,422,400. All the provinces of the Dominion contri- buted to the increase which re- presents an advance of 7 pcr cent. over the number of hogs on Can- adian farms at June 1, 1936, and 12 per cent. greater than the esti- mated number on December 1, i935. The 1936 increase 1s partly ‘attributable to the abundant and relatively low-priced supplies of feed grains which were available during the latter part of 1935 and the early part of 1936.

An increase of 20 per cent. is also shown in the number of hogs intended for market and for farm slaughter from‘ December, 1936, to May, 1937. as compared with the lcorresponding period in 1935-36. ‘Large increases in numbers to be

marketed are reported from On- ‘ tario. Manitoba. and Saskatchewan. I

During January and February of 1937, marketings continued ap-

preciably higher than they were

in the corresponding period a ycar ago.

l However, production prospects for 1937 have been affected by the high price and shortage of feed grains, particularly in the Prairie g Provinces and Ontario. Farmers reported at December 1 a decrease of 8 per cent. in the number oi’ sows expected to farrow in the spring of 1937 as compared with the expected farrowings of the spring of 1936. It is expected that

- higher feed prices since the date of

reporting may lead to a. somewhat

greater decline in farrowings than

‘was anticipated at December 1,

1 1936.
