NEW WEAPON
Another important weapon
was added to the limited con-
trol arsenal this spring with the
introduction of Bidrin — a
chemical heralded by authori-
ties as a major breakthrough in
the fight against the elm hark
beetle.
Bidrin, an organic phosphate,
was developed by Shell Oil
Company. Dr. Dale Norrie of
the Entomology Department.
University of Wisconsin, and
Dr. Hugh Thompson. Kansas
State University experimented
with its use against elm hark
beetles. Injected into a tree,
Bidrin gives temporary protec-
tion against bark beetle feed-
ing similar to that obtained
with over-all sprays. The new
chemical is so highly toxic that
its use is controlled by Shell,
who certify those who will use
it.
-We had 122 persons from
across the province (including
Ontario Hydro) attending our
first training course this spring'
says L. A. Miller, manager of
Shell's agricultural chemical
section. "Here, foresters, ar-
horists and tree company em-
ployees learned how to inject
a tree properly. This is im-
portant, for an underdose is in-
effective and an overdose will
harm the tree':
Dr. Jorgensen is an enthusi-
astic proponent of Bidrin. "Its
advantages are many", he says.
"First of all, there is no con-
tamination of the soil and lit-
tle chance of bird poisoning.
The chemical is absorbed into
the tree itself and by fall there
is no trace of the poison left:
He also points out that there
is no expensive equipment to
buy for the application and the
chemical can be injected any
time, under any weather con-
ditions.
The tree must be treated

Allied's Farm Leasing Programme
1. THERE IS NO "DOWN PAYMENT" WITH LEASING SO YOUR CASH RESOURCES ARE PRESERVED!
2. LEASING EXTENDS YOUR FARM CREDIT AND SIMPUFIES YOUR BOOKKEEPING
3. ALL EQUIPMENT IS INSURED FOR COLLISION, UPSET, FIRE, THEFT, ETC.
4. ALL LEASING PAYMENTS ARE 100% TAX DEDUCTIBLE!
LEASING IS YOUR NEW POWERFUL WEAPON TO MODERNIZE
ON A TRULY ECONOMICAL BASIS
For example take o $6,000.00 tractor. If you purchased the tractor you would be required to put up a "down payment'
of approximately one-third, or $2,000.00. By leasing you would not have to put up this down payment, so this
$2,000.00 could be used for other purposes. Suppose you used this money to pay cash for feed for your dairy cattle.
The feed dealer usually gives a 2°e discount for cash every month — 2% per month is 24% per year — on excellent
return on your saving.
LEASING CAN BE MORE ECONOMICAL THAN BORROWING THE MONEY
FROM A BANK, CREDIT UNION, ETC., TO BUY THE EQUIPMENT

each year within three weeks
after the leaf buds break. Each
treatment costs between $10
and $20 depending on the size
of the tree, but this must be
measured against the cost of
tree removal — upwards of
$200 for large trees in urban
areas.
While Bidrin might be part
of the answer for the man with
two or three trees on his proper-
ty, it is obviously impractical
for bushlots and large rural
tracts so that the ultimate an-
swer to the Dutch elm disease
problem lies outside the scope
of spraying or individual in-
noculation. This is where the
biologist and the botonist come
in.
At the federal biological
control centre at Belleville,
scientists have been investigat-
ing parasites as a means of con-
trolling the disease. This in-
volves identifying the natural
enemies of the hark beetle in
Europe and endeavouring to
establish them in the infected
areas here.
While results so far have
been inconclusive, the Cana-
dian group is presently investi-
gating a species of round worm
and is co-operating with U.S.
authorities with high hopes for
an eventual breakthrough.

Introduced into Canada
about 20 years ago, from Eur-
ope via the United States,
Dutch elm disease has since in-
fected trees across vast areas of
Ontario.
Once contracted, the dis-
ease is fatal, but much is being
done to minimize damage and
important new developments
offer great promise for improv-
ed control.
According to Professor Erik
Jorgensen, University of Toron-
to, a well-organized control
program can be expected to re-
duce the annual loss of elm
trees below one per cent of the
remaining healthy trees. An-
nual losses might otherwise run
as high as 60 per cent or more
in a given area.
Removal is still the only
practical control measure after
the disease has struck.
Ontario Hydro Chief Forester
JAI( Winter points out that fore-
sters either pruned or removed
nearly 20,000 elms on Hydro
property last year.
Healthy trees may be pro-
tected from the disease by
spraying with a DDT emulsion
during the tree's dormant sea-
son. The spray leaves a lethal
residue on the hark's surface
which kills the adult beetles be-

Architect D. F. Plumton, of Win-
nipeg, has placed the emphasis on
the "living wing" in this three-bed•
room frame bungalow. In addition
to a living room of generous pro-
portions the interior plan provides
a handy all-purpose room.
A well-designed kitchen with U-
shaped working area has a conven-
ient pass-through to the all-purpose
room which the housewife will ap-
preciate. There is ample closet
space in all three bedrooms as well
as a handy cupboard and linen
closet in the hall. The laundry and
beating areas are grouped beneath
the front two bedrooms making
provision for a future playroom in
the remaining section of the base-
ment.
The total floor area is 1.250
square feet and the exterior dimen-
sions are 46 feet by 35 feet. Work•
ing drawings for the house, known
as Design 298. may be obtained
from Central Mortgage and Hous-
ing Corporation at minimum cost.
