The BURRARD LAUNDRY hi&on»IIn the Shadow of Ihe Pyrumids These Egyptian farmers (fal- laheen) are descendants of those hardy toilers who dragged great blocks of granite hundreds of miles to build the Pyramids. In feature and physique they are startingly like the crude figures carved on the temple walls. They raise cotton, sugar, rice, wheat, and corn. Camels and oxen are their work animals. For milk they depend on the water buffalo which gives more than the cow and is less suscep- tible to disease. These farmers have large families of children who herd goats and pick cotton in the sunny fields. Dull, ignorant and superstiti- ous, these people still cling to their mud huts and rude tools. They refuse to adopt modern methods and modern hygiene. What can you do with a man who insists upon carrying dirt and fertilizer in a basket because his ancestors had no wheelbar- row? COUNCIL DIVIDED ON P.G.E. LINK ISSUE »I think there's company downstairs." »Why?u "Well, I just heard mother laugh at one of father's stories." For I'eople Who Are I'articular Resolution of North Vancou- ver City Ratppayers'ssoda- tion asking the City Council to eidist support of the other North Shore councils and the Board of Trade in urging upon the Pro- vincial Government necessity of completing the P.G.E. railway from Why tee li If to Squamish was endorsed Monday night. As completion of the section is something for which the City Council has been striving since 1918, Ald. W. A. Brown created s mild sensation when he voted in the negative. Aid. Brown held different views: »Branch line railways are out of date these days," he declared. "They are now heing tom up. Such railways must have freight (o handle to show a profit." Although he did not vote a- gainst the resolution, Ald. H. C. E. Anderson said he considered it unwise to in any way link the P.G.E. with the bridge. "This is certainly an about face by this council,» observed Mayor E. H. Bridgman. "We have been striving for comple- tion of the P.G.E. Railway since 1918 and the money was voted by the government some years ago but the work was never started. His worship referred to the seriousness of anything but an unanimous vote of the council on this question. "The line may now be com- pleted from Quesnel to Prince George." added his worship, »and we would like consideration given this end of the road.u "If the government was to complete the line it would at least be useful work," declared Ald.

A slightly higher bottom heat is beneficial to their growth. After the cuttings have become well established and have a sturdy root system they should be care- fully transplanted to individual pots in which has been placed a sandy loam niixture. They may then be transplanted to a cooler location until it is time to plant in the open. Not more than two lots of cuttings should be taken from a clump of roots. The third lot produces very poor plants usually. In breaking up a clump of roots for planting purposes it is of course necessary or at least very desirable that the growth of the shoots be first started. This may be accomplished by placing the roots in a moist warm place for a few days. In cutting the clumps apart use a sharp knife. A piece of the stem with at least one budding eye should be attached to each piece of root detached. If no budding eyes are attached, no plant will be produced. If the root part is exceptionally large the lower half may be cut off without harm. Some growers recommend that any cut surfaces should be dip- ped in a mixture of half sulphur and slacked lime. Others say it iu of no value. NOTE The uu» CIU uuuum» u ~ uuuuuru I » uu«th»u»uu»ul u &h U 4u lu thu uulu»u. Thu ou»uuuu uh 14 h u((r»»4 Iu Ih U» lu uu ~ I the EUII».

The amateur gard- ener usually buys roots from a reliable grower or in many cases he is amply supplied by a kind hearted neighbor. In such cases, whether he buys the roots or gets them given to him, he usu- ally knows about what he may expect in the way of color, etc. If experimentation appeals to him, lots of fun may be had by purchasing a small quantity nf dahlia seed and planting it in- doors in shallow boxes several weeks before it is time to plant outside. As soon as the young seedlings are large enough to be handled easily, they should be transplanted to pots where they should remain until time to set out in the open in May or June. If proper care is taken with the seedlings they should prbduce bloom practically as early as those grown from roots. Another method of propogat- ing dahlias is by cuttings. This is the method quite frequently followed by commercial growers, particularly with certain types which do not produce roots in abundant quantities, and also with new varieties when it is desired to secure a greater sup- ply of plants than would normal- ly be produced from the roots. Py this method the dormant roots are placed in the green- house about January and allow- ed to produce young shoots. When these have reached a length of five to six inches they are cut off between the first and second pair of leaves counting from the bottom. By cutting in this manner the roots will send out new shoots to replace those removed. Although the second lot of shoots will not be as sturdy as the flrst lot, they will produce fairly satisfactory plants. The cuttings are prepared for the propagating beds by cutting off the stem just below the pair uf lower leaves snd removing this pair of leaves. The cuttings should be rooted In pure sand, kept moist, but not soaking wet. They should be kept in s well No Novelty Wife: "Here's a clever thing sdvertized, a shirt without but- tons."
