It is. repeatedly the case that a perfectly clear orchard one year suffers from bad infestations of various troubles, both insect and fungus, the next Spring. Production must be saleable production, not that of low grade, diseased or wormstung fruit. By not spraying ifc ie possible to save approximately $21 per acre; but cannot a less doubtful economy be effected in some other direction? Acre cost of production might be reduced on orchard land by seeding early to a vetch cover crop, shading the land during tha early season. During. an acute water shortage one good discing will keep the land in good condition duriDg the rest of the season. This will greatly reduce the number of cultivations, and one of the best substitutes for barnyard manure will be added.

Every effort should be made to maintain the productive state of our orchards, and the value of spraying should be carefully considered before deciding to omit it. The revised spray calendar has jnst been leaned, and growers are strongly advised to study it. By following it, culls should be reduced to a minimum; and this will lead to a greater consumption and more satisfactory prices.���B. H. Helmer, Summerland Experimental Station. Major and-Mrs. F. E.

Heaven smiles upon the industrious and gives them time to devote to their flowers and their vegetables. And their devotion to sweet young things puts their whole being in tune with gentleness and kindness. Indeed early housecleaning means much lo every woman, and to the whole human race. In time we are to have iceless refrigerators. A Toronto man has found a way to freeze by means of electricity and evaporation, and has made himself a millionaire. All these years we have been using ice to cool our food boxes, and all the good people have been longing so fervently for winter cold to make the ice, that the weather man could not neglect their wishes, aad occasionally be. overshot the mark. The iceless refrigerator willrbe a great boon to us. Of al! the nice new things that come in the Spring time, nothing gives more joy than a nice new hat that matches our style perfectly. The girl that does not get one has to love her old dad pretty hard to forgive his stinginess or sympathise with his misfortune. Perhaps it is better for a father to risk the poorhouse than to provoke his daughters scorns Bnt we are not thoroughly convinced on this point. We do know, however, that spring time has trials for fathers who have nice daughters, bnt short bank accounts. Among the exciting moments in "Stranger Than Fiction," Katherine MacDonald's latest release through Associated First National Pictures, Inc., and which will be shown at the Greenwood Theatre, on'Saturday, March 24tb, ii. a battle in the air, in which one of the contestants, with his parachute strapped to his back, leaps from the burning machine and is rescued_by another-aeroplane.��� It is probable that this stunt has never before been seen on the screen and it will probably be some time before it is duplicated. Miss MacDonald is supported by a notable cast of players, among whom is Wesley Barry, who has the part of "Freckles," a street urchin, to whom the__ wealthy society girl takes a fancy and brings into her home. The local management confidently expects Greenwood theatregoers to vote "Stranger Than Fiction" Miss MacDonald's best picture. ,An enjoyable evening was spent1 at the residence of Walter.

Then, more recently, and even while this airship scheme has been under review, another plan has taken shape.
