Tourist Travel In B.C.
At All Time High

Tourist travel into British Col-
umbia will break all previous
records this year, it was reported
by the Hon. Leslie H. Eyres, min-
ister of trade and industry.
"During August, the minister
stated, 39,925 cars entered the
province at border customs ports
an increase of 2,542 over August
1948, bringing the total for the
first eight months of this year to

154,989—17,020 more than during
the first cight months of 1948.

Mr. Eyres pointed out that there
is every reason to feel gratified
with the results for 1949, especi-
ally when it is remembered that
“we have not time yet to feel the
impact or reap the benefit of: the
currency situation which puts the
American dollar ‘at a premium.”

Notes From. Saanichton Experimental Station

Usually the last picking of to-
matoes in the plots at the Experi-
mental. Station is made about
October 10. After this time the

weather is usually too wet for
satisfactory field ripening and
fruits tend to split, while those on
unstaked plants will be muddy
and many of them rotten.

In order to lengthen the season
somewhat, green tomatoes may be
brought in to ripen indoors. One
way is to pull up the plants, roots
and all, and hang them upside
down in a moderately warm, dry,
airy place. Another method is
to pick the green fruits, selecting
only sound specimens, and wrap
them individually, placing them
in trays or boxes, preferably one
layer deep.

Sort them over occasionally and
use as they ripen. . They won't
be just like field ripened fruits
picked in the heat of summer, but
then one isn’t likely to be quite so

critical in November.

Control of ‘the currant fruit-
fly by the use of DDT has in re-
cent years stimulated interest in
the growing of currants both in
home gardens and. in commercial
plantings. Plants may be ob-

tained from nurserymen or. grown
from cuttings if time permits.
Both, red and black currants are
readily grown from cuttings made
from mature wood.

Cuttings are 6-8 inches in length
with the base of the cutting cut
square across just below a bud.
The upper cut is made about an
inch above a bud so that there
is no danger of the top bud dry-
ing out. After the cuttings have
been prepared they can be lined
out in good garden soil about six
inches apart and set so that about
one-half of the cutting is below
the ground.

This operation can be success-
fully carried out any time during
the next few weeks and large num-
bers of plants can be grown at
little or no cost by this method.

Black currants produce meat
of their fruit on wood produced
‘the previous season and because
of this a plentiful supply of new
wood is necessary for a large crop.

Red currants produce fruit: on
spurs from wood two or more
years of age. Old branches should
be pruned out, their place
being taken by younger wood.
Weak growth and branches close
to the ground should be removed
and. the bush kept quite open.

SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW

eet

Family Rosary
Crusade Nearing
End of Campaign -

The Family Rosary Crusade in
this district is nearing its close,

Rev. Fr. Williamson informed
. The Review. The crusade, organ-
ized by Fr. Peyton, “an Trish

priest, to encourage family prayer,
has been pressed: on the Penin-
sula and Gulf Islands as else-

where in Canada ‘under the
slogan, “The family that prays
together stays together.”

Fr. Williamson stated that vol-
unteers have been to all the
Catholic homes in the area invit-
ing the householders to sign a
pledge to practise the recitation
of the rosary as a family prayer
daily. The volunteers have reach-
ed the end of their lists in many
parts of the district, but in the
more widespread areas they have
yet many calls to. make.

The average of 80% signatures
has been more than maintained
here, the parish priest stated. It
has been the experience of the
“movement that during the cam-
paign about eight Catholics in
every ten have signed this pledge.
The pledge is a promise and not
a solemn vow, he added.
