Greater economy in feeding should not mean less efficiency. Ways of improving home-grown crops can be found, thus necessitating fewer pur- chasing feeds. Dairymen who have alfalfa hay and corn silage can read- ily get along with a lower protein concentrate ration than the farmer with poor hay and no silage. Even alfalfa hay varies considerably in nu- tritive value, depending on when it is cut. Farmers should cut their alfalfa at a time when they are fair- ly certain of procuring a valuable feeding material than if left until too far advanced.

Combatting Garden Insects Garden plants are liable to attack by many kinds of destructive insects. Some of these destroy the foliage, others the flowers, while others bore into the stems and even into the roots. Injurious insects may be di- vided roughly into two classes by the nature of their mouthpieces, namely (1) biting insects which bite and chew their food, such as cu-twoms and others caterpillars, and pear-eat- ing- beetles. and (2) sucking insects which suck up their food by means of their beaks, such as aphids, the true bugs, and the scale insects. ‘ If the insect is one with biting mouthparts, a stomach poison such as par-is green, or arsenate‘ of lead, is usually applicable, but if the in- sect has sucking mouthparts, such poison would be useless because the insect would insert its beak through the poison and reach a safe feeding- place beneath. For sucking insects, therefore, contact insecticides are usually recommended, those cOmmon- ly used being kerOSene emulsion, whale oil soap, and preparations 'on- taming tobacco. ‘ The Cabbage Worm The cabbage worm is a velvety green caterpillar commonly found feeding on cabbages and cauliflow- ers. It also attacks turnips, rape, Brussels sprouts, kale and radish. It eats large circular holes in the "abâ€" bage leaves and frequently bores into the centre of the cabbage heads, making the cabbages unfit for mar- ket and. spoiling them for home con- sumption. Control measures should be applied as soon as injury to the plants becomes evident. - . . .. r Dusting with arsenatev of lead and hydrated lime is the most widely re- commended remedy. One part of the poison should be mixed with eight parts of hydrated lime and the mix- ture dusted on the plants in the early morning, or late evening, when the leaves are wet with dew. Particular care should be paid to the central portion of the cahbages- and cauli- flowers since it.is usually the fav- ourite spot for feeding.

July and August are busy months for the far- mers, and it is during these months when the weather is usually hot and dry that the maximum damage can July plowing and early after har- vest cultivation is to be highly re- commended. ‘ Hay fields known to be dirty should be ploughed immediately after hayâ€" ing, the furrows left to bake‘and' 'd‘ry out for 10 days or two weeks, then cultivated frequently as a Summer fallow and seeded to Fall wheat ear- ly in September. This so called dry cleaning method is very effective on Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion and other perennial weeds. Straight Summerfallow is also very effective, although somewhat more expensive. Late sown buck- wheat, followed the next year with rape or roots is a Splendid method of checking weeds. The cleanest farms in Ontario are operated by farmers who practise a‘ short three or four year crop rota- tion, who are particular in the use of clean, well graded seeds and who practise thorough and adequate culâ€" tivation methods. As weeds are cut, cr0p losses are cut, and in order that the worst weeds may be prevented from spread- ing, it is necessary that every occuâ€" pant of' land. rural or urban, expend every effort in digging. pulling. .spraying, cutting or burning; weeds before they go to seed. The plants should be thoroughly covered with the dust, both on the upper and lower Surfaces of the leaves, because the insects feed in both situations. To be successful, dusting should be commenced at the first appearance of the beetles for these insects work very fast and much damage is often done before the grower, who is not on the look- out for them, is aware 0f their pres- ence. Three or four applicatiOns a few days apart, according to the seâ€" verity of the attack, are usually sufâ€" ficient to hold the beetles in check. ‘ WHEN BOYS AND GIRLS GROW FASTEST Scientists on the Cont-invent have been investigating the growth in children, and some interesting sta- tistics have resulted. Cucumber Beetles are Fast “'orkelrs Cucumbers, melons, squash, pump~ kins, and watermelons are the fav- ourite food of the striped cucumber beetle which is found in all prov- inces of Canada. To some extent. these beetles also feed on beans. peas, corn and the blossoms of wild and cultivated plants. In appearance. the beetles are about one-quarter of an inch long, yellow in colour, with a black head and three long stripes down the back, and they make their attack shortly after the plants ap- pear through the soil. They- feed for preference on the under surfaces of the unfolding leaves, cempletely de- stroying them. As a result, the tiny plants die qurlckly. ‘ L Growers with large patches would be well advised to watch the plants closely for the first appearance of the cucumber beetle and take con- trol measures at once. The plants should be dusted with a mixture of calcium arsenate and gypsum (land plaster), using one part Of the cal- cium arsenate to '20 parts (by weight) of the gypsum. If it is im- possible to obtain gypsum, hydrated lime may be substituted, although this material is not so good. It tends to dwarf the plants and tem- porarily stunts their growth. Both boys and girls “shoot up" far more at the beginning of the end» of the first quarter of the year than at any other time. From the end of February until about the end of Au- gust is the real growing period. From September to the following January the child grows hardly at all,‘a,ccording to the vexperts’ statis- tics. The question of weight, too, has been tabulated. From July to January,'both will put on weight. Between February and June they will scarcely show a difference of an ounce. It would seem that when our bodies are growing upwards, the broadening outward remains the same, and vice versa.

ADA â€" PITCH TENTS IN ONTARIO ‘/ (R. H. Spencer, Blue Bell Magazine) A newspaper report states that a Moncton, N.B., man, working with a carnival there, had his right leg painâ€" fully injured when his trousers caught in a wheel of a caterpillar and he was dragged in and run over. He was taken to hospital in an amâ€" bulance. 7 Mr. and Mrs. Holmes of Meaford visited recentlv with their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smith. Point Immediately; below the report un- der the heading, “Beware Caterpillâ€" ars,” there is the following: “Unusual prevalence of caterpill- ars in Ontario lends to the prediction that a definite menace will develop unless there is immediate action in checking the invasion. The princi- pal danger seems to be in vacant properties or in roadsid‘re trees. With nothing to check them, bushes and trees are often found infested with caterpillar tents.” Bob Burns’ shenanigans in Van Buren, Arkansas, matched with this new Canadian menace, pale into in- significance. The crying need in Canada today is not so much for a good fiveâ€"cent cigar, a triple-dlecker ice cream cone, or plush seats for sit-dOWners, as for a National Caterpillar Day. A day set aside when loyal Canadians with shields and banners bright would march against this destructive foe. We could recruit a vast army of farmers, farmerettes, boy scouts, school children, telephone pioneers and! band of hopers, etc., who, while they might not be able to totally exterminate the pests, could in a few hours’ work, armed with a tin of coal oil, a neWSpaper and a knife, reduce the havoc usuallw wrought by these furry creatures to a minimum. Well, why don’t somebody do some- thing? Invoke a clause or that sort of thing? Are we to be mangled! in our sleep? Grabbed by the leg of our pyjamas, whized by the wheel of one of these monsters, dragged in and ground! like so much sausage? How about the Monroe doctrine? What do we subscribe to the League of Nations for? Where is our streamlined navy?

Lorne Coulter, chief auditor of the steamship and car ferries depart- ment of the Canadian National Rail- ways and the only Canadian ever to hold the office of president of the Water Line Accounting Officers of America, retires in July after 42 years of service. Born in Palgrave. Peel County, he was educated in Orangeville High School and in 1895 commenced at the bottom of the railway business as a lamplighter for the Grand Trunk Railway. He worked his way up to his executive post, holding appoint- ments as operator, agent and travell- ing auditor,‘ until appointed chief auditor in 1923, which position he has held for the past 14 years. Establishing a honie in Weston 20 years ago, he took a keen interest in the public life of his community, being elected a member of Board; of Edlucation, of Weston Town Council and of the Public Utilities Commisâ€" sion on various occasions. He has served as mayor and as chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. On several occasions he has held major positions in the Conservative Association of West York and his name has been mentioned as candvi- date for both the House of Com- mons and the Ontario Legislature.

We stand back for one another, hold open the doors, make way for the children and otherwise act in a courteous manner towards our fellow-shoppers. But do we continue this same friendly mental attitude towards each other when we get back into our ears and enter traffic again? To our fellow-shopper, for whom we held the door open, do we show courtesy when he becomes our fellow-motorist? Do we warn him of our intention to pass by sounding our horn? Having passed him, do we get well ahead of him before swinging back again into our traffic lane? Do we dip or dim our lights when we meet him at night? Do we keep well to the right side of the road when meeting him? Do we give him the benefit of the doubt in a “tight corner” so we can both get out of it unhurt? And do we, in the many other ways that come to our mind, act and think towards our fellow-motorist in the same kindly and considerate manner as we did when we held the door open for him ‘as a fellow-shopper? I earnestly request that, when you get behind the wheel of your car or truck, you continue to be the same courteous person that you are afoot and “Try Courtesy” every inch of the way. By so doing you will help to make motoring a safe and enjoyable mode of travelling. Entering a Store you are Courteousâ€"â€" THURSDAY, JULY 8th, 1937. WWOOWOOOOW R. H.
