THE TATLER The TATL‘E‘R, the school maga- zine, will 'be on sale at Commence- ment. This year the edition is very attractive and very ambitious. It will be sent out as an exchange to other schools and it should main:- tain the enviable position our school holds among the educational instituâ€" tions of the province. Members of our staff hold important offices in both the province-wide educational organizations: the Secondary School Teachers’ Federation and the 0n~ tario Educational Association. In last year’s graduating class of the University of Toronto, there were siy former pupils of R.H.H.S., all of whom graduated with high hon.- ours; two of them led their classes and won awards. We are therefore proud of our school and we should like you to know more about our life and interests here. You will find from the many articles. that the latter are varied, ranging- from the new international radio language to flying in the atmosphere and the technique of hitch-hiking. There are many features and all the photo- graphy is by the students.

PARAMOUNT NEWS Wm”oooooooomouoooooomooooooooooooum 090‘ Each spring as all of our mem- bers are aware, the society’s sprayer visits the gardens of many of our members when such trees as they think should be sprayed receive at- tention. Last year the society and its members paid the sum of $100 to have this work done and since some of our memlbers are not satisâ€" fied with the results obtained we have decided to go into the matter and endeavour if possible to find the reason for the spray not proving as successful as it should. They also breed in haw trees. The first step in control is to see that all wild apple trees and haws are cut down. The time to do this is winter or early spring. Sprays should also be used and a late spray ‘ used to kill the late emerging flies. May we draw the attention of all property owners to the above para- graph and ask them to co-operate with the society in the control of this pest ‘by endeavouring to remove. One of our members whpse orch- ard: ,was sprayed: last spring- we‘nrt to the trouble of sending a sample of his spy apples to the O.A.C., Guelph and he was kind' enough to let the society have a copy of his letter extracts from which will ap- pear below. The spy aprples you sent .me have been attacked by What is known as the apple maggot, sometimes called the railroad worm. This insect makes little punctures that appear on the surface and when the apple is cut you see brown areas. The larvae are small and difficult to find. Their food is the juice of the apple. The maggot comes from a small fly. They begin to appear about four weeks after the blossoms have fallen. They feed for a week on the surface of the leaves or fruit and then begin laying eggs. The eggs are placed beneath the skin of the apple. In addition to the damage mentioned they also cause the apples to fall. After the fruit is ripe the maggot comes out and goes into the grouncl where it remains until June or July of the following year. Apples infested by this insect are unfit for sale and if in any orchard only one infest/ed apple is found, you are not permitted to export any aplples of that particular variety from that. orchard. The larvae are full grown and come out when the apple is ripe. In most winter apples the larvae per- ish. When full grown they are a- bout one fifth of an i-mch long and make large tunnels and ruin the fruit. Yonge St. al Glenioresl Rd.
