& letter from a lady in Quebec tel's
‘bout the wonderful success she had
freshening and recoloring her old
ving room curtains. “They were so
grey and dull looking they made the
Whole room look shabby. Yet they
were perfectly good and I couldn't
afford new ones. A neighbor told me
about a new kind of tints called
Diamond Tints, made by the makers
of Diamond Dyes. I know the splen-
@id quality of Diamond Dyes—have
used them often for dyeing dark
Barments. My neighbor explained
that Diamond Tints are for lighter
shades and they need no boiling. I
got a package of Ecru and gave my
curtains a good rinse in the tint
water. When my daughter came

Saskatchewan Undertakes Ambitious
Fruit Growing Campaign
Hon. J. F. Bryant, K.C., who as
Saskatchewan's “Minister of Public
Works in charge of the Institutional
Farms, has been promoting the cam-
| paign of fruit growing in the Prov-|
ince, issued -this statement to the
press in connection with the proposed
fruit-growing campaign and the es-
tablishment of orchards on the In:
tutional Farms of the Provincial Gov-
ernment.
| When Mr. JE. Park was chosen as
provincial gardener we had had in
view the matter of promoting the
growth of fruit in the Province of
Saskatchewan through the Institu-
tional Farms of the province, and we}
secured a man who is capable of
carrying out this scheme. We were
fortunate, indeed, in securing Mr, |
Park in view of his long experience}
in connection with fruit growing work
in Western Canada. He is a graduate
of Manitoba Agricultural College
where he specialized in horticulture,
| with five years practical experience in
charge of the fruit orchards at the
| Manitoba College, doing experimental
| work in fruit and during part of the
time lecturing on fruit growing to the
diploma class of the Manitoba Agri-
cultural College. This work was fol-
lowed by six months training includ-
ing plant breeding with special at-
tention to fruit work at the graduates
| school of the University of Minnesota.
Following this Mr. Park put in five
years as superi in

The centre of the Saskatchewan
Government fruit-growing campaign
will be the nurseries on the Parlia-
ment Buildings grounds at Regina,.
where & large acreage is available
and where in the first Instance some
ten acres wil be set aside for the
nursery as a fruit trial ground. This
area will be surrounded at once w.th
a caragana hedge wth the trees plant-
ed eighteen inches apart, as they are)

‘intended to grow tall for a shelter)
belt. Spruce trees and willow cut-|
tings will also be planted around this}
area in order to get a quick shelter}
belt. The willows will then be re-
moved when the permanent ash, elm |
and spruce have grown up. A proper

jshelter belt is the most important
feature in connection with a fruit
orchard on the prairies. }

The orchard space will be divided

| rows of small fruits to hold the snow. |
These will consist of black, white and?

cuttings, and gooseberries which are
grown by mounding up the goose-

rieties may be moved two or three
hundred miles north, This has proven
the case at the Morden Experimental
Farm which is the chief horticultural
station of Western Canada, Here one
hundred and twenty-five acres of land
are devoted to horticultural experi-
ments and over three hundred kinds
of plums are growing; also the stand-
ard varieties of apples including the
new “Melba” apple which is being
perfected at that po'nt. Some eleven
years ago they top worked these
varieties of plums on wild native plum
stock and did the same with the ap-
ples and have produced wonderful re-
sults.

The pioneer in this work in the
Morden district was the late Mr.
Stevenson who for nearly forty years
carried on experimental work and as
a result of which he has grown as
many as six hundred barrels of apples
on his farm in one season. In this

| way many of the varieties produced

in districts further south have be-
come acclimatized and grow -to per-
fection in different parts of the prov-
ince of Saskatghewan.

This work is being undertaken on
the Institutional Farms of Saskatch-
ewan jn order to promote the general
growth of fruit in the province. In-
dividual efforts have shown that it
can be grown in practically any part
of the province, but owing to lack of
knowledge on the subject very few
haye undertaken it. The Institution-
al Farms are situated in different
climatic belts, in different soil belts,
and valuable experience can be ob-
tained in each area for those who are
intérested in fruit growing in the im-
mediate neighborhood. We purpose
therefore by planting orchards at
each of the Institutional Farms to
supply the fruit necessary at these
farms, particularly for the patients
of the Mental Hospitals. It is planned
to use the Institutional Farms as
demonstration farms in order that the
farmers from the surrounding coun-
try may visit them to see what can
be done in the way of raising fruit
in their neighborhood. It is also in-
tended to carry on experimental
work at the different points to prove
the varieties best suited for the dif-
ferent localities and also to try to
develop hardy plants in the different
varieties by experimental work and
by budding on native plum, cherry
and wild fruit roots,

This work will be carried on at
practically no additional expense to
the province as it is planned to get
the pits from the plum and cherry
trees and apple and crabapple seeds
from the different experimental farms
in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We
extend a public invitation to those
who have carried on fruit growing
in Saskatchewan with success to give
as a public contribution such pli
pits, cherry pits, apple and crabapple
seeds as they have to spare to the
nearest Institutional Farm, and we

We would like the donors of these
seeds and pits to forward them to the
Institutional Farm nearest to the
point where they reside.

The work in connection with the
orchards will not occasion additional
expense because at most of the Insti-
tutional Farms there are graduates
of the Agricultural Colleges to take
charge, and there is plenty of patient
labor at the Mental Hospitals, and
jail labor at the jails.

The Saskatchewan Government has
between four and five thousand acres
of land jn the Institutional Farms
with experienced men in charge of
each farm and we are prepared to try
out anything in the fruit line for any
of the nurseries of experimental
farms when they have developed some
new variety and desire to have it test-
ed in different parts of the province.
We intend as soon as our orchards are
established and our experimental
work is commenced to reciprocate by
sending to the nurseries or the Ex-
perimental Farms any new varieties
which we may develop.

We believe that in starting these
orchards and this experimental work
as demonstrat'on work that we are
taking a forward step in fruit grow-
ing which will eventually result in the
growth of fruit of different types on
; the farms in all parts of Saskatch-
| ewan. We are therefore asking the Ex-

perimental Farms to give us what}
Surplus stock they haye of different |
types, and to place us on the list for)
this surplus stock from year to year.
We are also getting in touch with Dr.

gett'ng as many named varieties of
apples, crabapples and plums as pos-
sible to test. Atl these will be bud-
ded stock and will be planted in the

get the buds which are used in graft-
ing on native plum and Siberian
Crabapple trees after the nursery is
under way whenever we can find good
bud wood on these named varieties.
We intend getting an experienced pro-
pagator accustomed to this kind of
work on the prairies in order to get
the supply of named varieties on hand
at the Government nursery at Regina
which can be distributed to the other
Institutional Farms, the propagation
work being done only at the Regina
Nursery.

At each of the five Instiutional
Farms this fall we intend to plant
seeds from named varieties and na-

plum and Siberian crabapple for
root stock. The seedlings from named
varieties are going to be planted cut
and permitted to fruit as in this way
we may get new and original stock
for budding purposes. All the seed-
lings of the apples, crabapples and
all named varieties will be tested out
for fruit bearing at the Institutional
Farms, but all budded stock will come
from Regina.

The planting of plum pits and apple
seeds does not produce trees true to
the stock from which they come but
often develops new and hardy variet-
ies. Every seedling apple, crabapple
or plum is a new variety. Those com-
