MONTREAL (CP) —
Renewed pressure on the
Canadian dollar pushed
the battered currency
below 88 U.S. cents for
the first time in 45 years

markets Monday.

At the end of an active
tra session in the
interbank wholesale
market, the dollar was
changing hands at 87.97
U.S.ncents,. down from
Friday’s close of 98.19
US. cents.

The dollar last closed
below 88 U.S. cents in
May, 1933, when it hit a
low of 86.77 U.S. cents. In
June, 1933, the dollar
rebounded to 88.50 U.S.

Dealers said pressure
on the dollar had eased
Friday when it was
rumoured the Bank of
Canada would raise the
bank rate during the

weekend.

But when the increase
failed to materiallze,
market participants once
agAin started selling the
dollar.

“The good news didn’t
arrive and a lot of bad
feeling towards the dollar
started re-emerging in
the market,’’ said a
senior trader for the
Bank of Montreal.
SUPPORT WANTED

A trader for the Bank
Canadian National said

market participants were :

“disappointed” by a lack
of action on the part of the
central bank and the gov-

ernment to support the

Sa dollar.

Hires the govern:
ment or the Bank of
Canada take appropriate
measures, the dollar will
continue to be weak,” the
trader said.

The Bank of Canada
last inereased the bank
rate March 9, in an effort
to attract foreign in-
vestment and hoost the
sagging dollar.

Traders said there was
“moderate” com-
mercial selling af
Canadian dollars, but
blamed most of the
downward pressure on

It’s all in the timing

It's all inthe timing.

When transplants are seeded too early Indoors, they
become ready for transplanting before the outdoor climate ls
suitable for them. All you can do then Is hald them: inside
until frost danger has gone and growing temperatures are

right. Such “making time’ makes the tranplants tong, lanky —

or leggy, and Jegginess in a plant makes ita loser, or al best a
poor performer, when it is put into the tough ald outside
world. So, just as with us, ihe early formative part of a
plant's life is very imporant in preparing It for what is ahead.

We can capitalize on this fact by supplying the best. con-
ditions possiblefor those transplant seedlings, with an aim to
growlng a short, stalky, rather than a spindly. jeggy tran-

splant.

You can start seeds almost anywhere that you can provide .
the necessary soil heat; in the furnace room, near a heater or
heat register - anywhere that the soll or growing mix will be:
heated to a minimum of about 6 degrees Celsius or, more, §-
preterably, in a range of 18 degrees to 24 degrees Celsius.
After seed emergence, however lighi Is also needed, which
means a window ledge, a sunrvom, a cold frame or a
greenhouse. Window-ledge starting is O.K. for a short
perlod, but unless you can move the plants to other windows,
to follow the sun all day, the plants will soon be starving for

light, and this condition will also result In that undesirable . f

leggy growth.

Greenhouse starting provides the
you can't supply supplementary heat for nights and dull. .

i

days, your seedlings will suffer and may even be “totalled” -
by spring frosts. In these you can supply the necessary heat
with a heating cable, if yoy’re on hydro. In a greenhouse you.
can supply a heater of some kind, or since flats of seedlings

days the seedlings can ba removed to the full sunlight of the

greenhouse.
