Including , Examination Grading Canned Tomatoes It According to the amended regula- tions on the grading for canned to- matoes and tomato products under the Meat and Canned Foods Act, there are fdur grades of canned to- _ matoesâ€"Fancy, Choice, Standard and Second quality. The canned product 7 of all grades must be packed from 5 Sound, clean fruit, and be free from pieces of skin, cores, black spots or sun scald. The Fancy Quality grade v must contain at least 65 per cent. .1? drained tomato solids, Choice Qual- L ity grade, at best 55 per cent, and ‘I- Standard Quality grade, at least 45 ‘__ per cent. If salt or sugar is used, either must I These explerimenlbs indicate very clearly that cultivation during the hot dry weather of late June, July and August is much more effective in killing the root stocks of these Weeds than cultivation in September or later. Infested areas should be brought under the plough as soon as possible. In doing so, weeds Will be controlled and succeeding crops will benefit. Kill Weeds Now I In the summer of 1933 a set of [experiments were conducted at the {Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, in order to determine how long it was necessary to expOSe the root stocks of Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass and Field Bind Weed to sun and air during- the summer months in order to destroy their vi- tality. In June, with ideal weather conditions (hot and dry) one day’s exposure killed 100% of root stocks of Perennial Sow Thistle, Couch Grass and Field Bind Weed. In July 3. 100% kill of Perennial Sow Thilstle and Field Bind Weed root stocks was obtained by one day’s exposure, while two days‘ exposure was required to give a 100% kill of Twitch Grass root stocks. In the month of August it required two days’ exposure to kill the root stocks of Perennial Sow Thistle and ten days’ exposure failed to give a 100% kill of Twitch Grass root stocks. In September ten days’ exposure only gave a 35% kill of Perennial Sow Thistle and a 9% kill of Twitch Grass root stocks. Another method of control fre- quently recommended is. to spray the infested plants thoroughly with Bor- deaux mixture. This material is reâ€" pellent to slugs, and, if the foliage of the plants is completely covered, many of the slugs will confine their attentions to weeds growing in adâ€" jacent fields. ‘ Galrden Slug Control Garden slugs are frequently num- erous on heavy land where they do -comsiderable damage to beans, let,- tuce, cabbages, cauliflowers, and oth- er crops. Like pests, the slugs can ‘be more easily controlled if immediâ€" ate attention is given before they in- crease in numbers. Infested plants and slugs should be dusted with hyâ€" drated lime in the evening after the sun has gone down and feeding has commenced. Care should~ be taken- to cover the upper and lower sur- faces of the leaves and the soil im- mediately surrounding the plants. Hydrated lime is effective only when in the form of a light dry powder. It becomes hard when subâ€" jected to moisture, and in that con- dition it is not injurious to slugs. For this reason, a few light appli- cations of lime at intervals of three or four days are much more effect- ive than one heavy dose. Current Crop Report Cutting of fall wheat is general and threshing is well under way. The quality is fair but rapid ripening has reduced the yield considerably. Oats land barley are ripening prematurely .and yields will be affected adversely. 'Cutting of early varieties has com- imenced in Southern sections. Corn and tobacco have benefitbed' by warm weather but now require moisture. The hay crop was cured and stored under favourable conditions; the yield was slightly below average but of good quality. Meadows have deteri- orated and rain is urgently needed. Second growth alfalfa is being pas- tured in many districts. The growth of root crops has been retarded by lack of moisture. The yield of small fruits is below average. Prospects for late varieties of apples are fair. of the total area seeded. Showers, ranging from 1/3 to 1/2 inch of rain on June 26th and almost an inch on the 29th, ensured development of late seedlings and rapid growth of beets already thinned. a near average appearance, while the remainder is rather patchy and not more than 75% of a normal stand. The acreage reseeded, de- stroyed by insectls- or which failed to germinate, does not exceed 10% Sugar Beet Crop The present outlook for the sugar beet crop is considered fairly good. Three-quarters of the acreage shows NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Phone 188 The Governments Building dis- plays at the Canadian National Ex- hibition this year embrace exhibits of natural products and manufactur- ed articles from Australia, Ceylon, Scotland, New Zealand, England, South Africa, India and France. There are too many motor car ac- cidents without adding unneceSsary hazards. It should not be difficult to design a door handle that would meet the function for which it is intended without at the same time serving as a danger.â€"O‘wen Sound Sun-Times. Only a few days ago in Toronto a 12-year-old cyclist collided with a standing motor car. The handle of the car penetrated his arm and it was necessiary to obtain the ser- vices of a doctor before it could be removed. A Toronto paper recently called attention to the dangerous construcâ€" tion of the door handles with Which most motor cars are nowadays equip- ped. The shape is much like that of a dagger and the handle is so attached on the front door as to point straight ahead. Several acci- dents have been reported in which these handles resulted in injury. Rose ch'afens are now about at) their peak in light sandy land, and‘ are doing much damage to I‘OSeS, fruit trees and grapes planted on’ this type of soil. Flea beetles have been very numerows on turnips, cabJ bage, potatoes, tobacco and sugar beets. The pea aphid is less destrucâ€"‘ tive than a year ago. Potato beetles promise to be somewhat more 'plontia ful. ‘ The sweet clover weevil, a new in- sect, has spread over practically the entire province, and its injury to the foliage can be seen in almost every sweet clover field. It attacks alsike to a lesser extent, but so far, there is no indication that it will feed‘ upon alfalfa or red clover. The ind sect is being studied at Guelph. Grasshopper outbrealds have oc- curred in Renfrew, North Hastings, Northumberland and Manitoulin Is- land. Poison bran baits have been applied promptly and present indi- cations are that the inlsects will be brought under control before they can do much damage. The glassy cutworm. which unlike most species of cutworms works be- neath the ground and attacks the roots of plants, has been exception- ally troublesome. Damage from oth- er cutworms Has been about nor- mal. Insect Pests The injury caused by insects this spring has been somewhat greater than usual. In Northern Ontario, forest tent caterpillars stripped the foliage from millions of trees over a wide area, particularly in the North Bay, Sudbury and Port Arthur dis- tricts. In Old Ontario, the eastern tent caterpillar was prevalent al- most everywhere, and tents could be seen in large numbers on unsprayed apple trees. Caterpillars have now ceased to feed and consequently will do no more damage this season. It is quite probable that they will be much less destructive next year. i There is also one grade each for Tomato Puree, Tomato Pulp. Tomato ‘Paste, Concentrated Tomato Paste, Tomato Juice, and Tomato Juice Cocktail. Tomato Juice must be packed from the unconcentrated pasteurized liquid of the tomato with a substantial portion of the pulp ex- pressed from whole ripe tomatoes with or without the application of heat. Where salt or sugar is used, that fact must be declared on the main panel of the label in letters not less than one-eighth of an inch in height, and of 21 Visibility equal to any other printing on the label. I‘ be used dry or dissolved in the juice that comes from the tomatoes. Brine made from water arid sugar or salt, or both, is prohibited. The juice which comes out of the tomatoes after peeling may be added to the bulk when filling the cans, but it must be the juice of that particular lot of tomatoes. This does not ap- ply to the juice or pulp obtained! from the trimmings. TheJOflBSCOaICfl.

Whelle the narrowness of a channel, presence of an obstruction, or other cause makes it inconvenient for a port-tack yacht Starboard-tack yachts have, as' is pretty well known even by lands- -men, the right of way over yachts close-hauled or going .free. But every day in the week you will see star- board-tackers waiving their rights, where sticklers will be waving fists or protest flags. Thus, Commodore Norman Gooder- ham, of the R.C.Y.C., who has an auxiliary motor in his flagship “Yo- landa,” will offer to tow sailing op- ponents to the starting line, and will tow them in again even after they have beaten him in a race. Among ourselvesâ€"that is in the yachting fraternity, who are all that is left to represent the old wind- usersâ€" courtesy is so much a rule that its absence is news. You will see instances of this cour- tesy every day in Toronto Bay. You will also seeâ€"sometimesâ€"the cour- tesy shown by steamer captains, in shutting off their belching smoke, or going to leeward, so as not to black- en a yacht’s sails. Courtesy is the only medium for interpreting the rule of the road at sea. The yacht, as a sailing vessel, has right of way over a steamer, unless she is overtaking her; but no yachtsman worthy of the name would attempt to exercise that right when it would force the steamer to alter her course and miss her landing, go aground in a channel, or even be- wilder the officer on the bridge. You will see instances of this cour- Sailors who drive cars know that ithe same principle applies on the lhi-ghway. Motorists cannot afford to ‘wait three or four centuries for a tradition of driving courtesy to e- volve, because cars are killing peo- ple every day. Many motorists think courtesy means something fancy that wastes time and accomplishes noth- ing. Sailors know better. As a sail- or, I am- happy to describe some of the interesting angles on courtesy at sea, showing their practical value, in the hope that it will encourage some motorists to “Try Courtesy" for a change at the wheels of their cars. We’ve been trying courtesy afloat, and finding it pays. Sailors have 'been trying courtesy for centuries. 0n the water, courtesy is a practiâ€" cal necessity. Its value is real and concrete. It provides the safeguard in a tight place, and the solution in a traffic problem. Without it, chaos and confusion would result, and all the order and pleasure would go out of sailing. While Mr. Sniderfs first love is the “Gardenia,” he finds time for his job as news director of the Toronto Evening Telegram. Though he is “Skipper” to scores of able news- papermen who have been his crew on the “Tely,” Mr. Snider is known throughout Canada for his own ex- ‘pert reporting of some of the world’s ’biggest news events in recent years, as well as for his gripping yarns and romantic articles about sailing. The following article on “Courtesy afloat and ashore” is Mr. Snider’s contribution to the “Try Courtesy” campaign of the Ontario govern- ment. Because of the indispensability of courtesy in avoiding traffic snarls at seaâ€"â€"on race courses, in crowded harbors, along narrow navigation channels, and up and down well- travelled shipping lanesâ€"Mr. Snider is a strong supporter of the “Try Courtesy” campaign being carried on by Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario 'minister of highways, which is de- signed to promote safer and more pleasant motoring by encouraging courtesy on the highways of the province. l l “Jerry” has been a sailor for 40 years. For ten years past he has been one of the owners of the “Gar- denia,” a 60-foot cutter in the fleet of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club at Toronto. He lives and breathes the romance of sailing. 1 “Jerry” might also be caller! the Emil Ludwig of Great Lakes shipp- ing. His lusty biographies of fam- Ous old sc’hooners, full of the creak- ing of tackle and the smell of fresh water, have made him famous from Duluth to Montreal, wherever men’s spirits still echo to the call of the breakers and the mystic lure of the deep blue. Toronto, August 3.â€"â€"-All his old croniesâ€"that rare band of fresh-wa- ter salts who spend their summers on the water and their winters talk- ing- about itâ€"declare that “Jerry” Snider has got ships tattooed on his heart. “Skipper Jerry" Snider Urges L M- lubbers To Try Cou-rtnsy Too Sailors Value Courtesy MAK ES LIFE SMOOTHER The best of all shock absorbers is a sense of humor. When we leave our yacht to go ashore we run up a little blue abâ€"I sence pennant, to save visitors the! trouble of a fruitless row out to our moorings; when we are dining on board we hoist the small white meal pennant, to save them the embarr- assment of coming aboard and find- ing us all at table. These things are not swank. They are courtesy. And courtesy pays. ito alter her course you will usually lsee the yacht on. the starboard tack [yielding place with. a cheerful hail. lThe exception is in a race, or where collision can. only be avoided by ad- hering to the rule. Then there is no choice. Collisions are avoided by adherence to the rules regarding right of way. That is their prime1 object. But collisions are also avoid- ed by courtesy. If We go into an American port we continue to fly our own flag, but we fly the appropriate American flag on our forestay or bowstaff. If an American visitor comes in we do the same thing, to welcome him,‘ and run the burgee of his club at the yardarm of our flagstaff. In addition, you will find that yachtsmen practise the courtesy of flying the proper flag, in the proper place, either in greeting or welcom- ing strangers, or among themselves. Instead of blaring through fish-horns at one another, like passing freight trains they dip the ensign, the jun- ior to the senior, the senior acknow- ledging the salute.
