nation’s tree farms and forests,

The Canadian Underwriters’
Association asks that care be taken
in erecting and decorating these
trees,

A tree contains natural resins
which ignite easily and burn read-
ily, the ‘CUA reminded.

If proper precautions are taken
however, fire may be avelded. Par
ticular attention should be given to
trees in churches and schools,

‘Trees, in addition, should not
be set up close to stairways because
in case of flre the stairway as an
exit from upper floors would be
blocked.

With regard to the care of
Christmas trees in the home, the
CUA has these following suggest-
ions:

When you choose your Christ-
mas tree this year, select one which
appears freshly cut. Feel the needles
to make sure they are firmly at-
tached.

Keep the tree out of doors un-
til just before Christmas, And keep
it standing in a pail of water 50
that: it will remain fresh,

When you put the tree up,

When you open presents on
Christmas morning, put away gift
wrappings you intend to keep, Ga-

them away Jmmeaie after pre-
sents are opened.

The lights on Christmas trees
should be tumed off when everyone
is away from home.

Check the tree for dryness from
time to time. If needles near lights
have started to turn brown, change
the position of the lights.

When the needles start falling,
take the tree down immediately
and discard it outdoors.

Even if the tree is still fresh,
plan now to dismantle It the day
after New Year's.

Make sure your decorative
lighting does not averload electrical

All Gur Apple Trees
Need Very Hardy
Rootstocks in B.C.

Apple rootstecks in British Co-
lumbia generally have not been se-
lected for their winter hardiness,
notes K, Lapins of the Canada De.
partment of Agriculture's research
station at Summerland, B.C.

Yet hardy rootstocks are needed
if severe frosts occur when the
eon is bare.

Mr, Lepins says that most ap-
ple trees gold in B.C. about 10 years
ago were propagated on seedling
rootstocks. Now half the trees are
on clonal stocks belonging to the
Malling (M) or Malling-Merton
(MM) group originated in western
Europe and not selected for cold
hardiness. They may not be suitable
for all apple growling districts in
British Columbia.

Clonal stocks are producted by
vegetative means such as layering
— the process of bending the bran-
ches down to the ground and par-
tially covering them with soil so
that they take root,

Artificial freezing tests at Sum-
merland with shoots and bare roots
show that the clonal M and MM
rootstecks are not as hardy as the
seedlings of Antonovka, The
rootstocks, as a group, appear less
hardy than the MM stocks, Differ.
ences between the various clonal
rootstocks are not great, but MI,
MIv, and MIX appear tender,
MM 104 and MM IIL moderately
hardy, and M.VII and MM 109 in-
termediate between these groups.

Cold hardiness may be impor-
tant where severe frosts occur when
there js little or no protection from

Considering the universal pop~
ularity of home cooking, it is a
wonder how commercial bakeries
stay in business, Time and again,
at community social functions, I
have noticed that grown up lttle
boys of fifty years, more or less,
reach for the sandwiches made with
home-baked bread. Pies and cakes
supplied by catering firms are ig-
nored until the last of the home-
Made goodies are gone,

-The good wives who turn out
these delectables would be shocked
at the idea of rhapsodizing over
thelr own efforts, as the commer-
clal baker does. No doubt he is
quite justified in claiming perfec-
tion in his art, for he applies scien.
tifle methods which ensure & uni-
form standard of excellence.

It is Just this sclentific unifor-
mity which is his downfall when He
