A catch-crop is a crop which is grown to take the place of a regu­ lar crop in the rotation which has been killed by unfavorable climatic conditions, or a catch-crop may be one which is grown along with or between the seasons or regular crops Most frequently the catch crop U grown to take the place of some crop which has been winter-killed such as clover or winter grains. Trouble Shooting in the Binder Knotter A pamphlet, setting forth a simple and practical system of locating and correcting some of the common tying troubles that occur in the knotters of grain and corn binders has been issued by the Department of Extension, O.A.C. The sytem of trouble shooting set forth In this circular is based on the appearance and location of the “trouble bands” as their character­ istics provide the simplest means of identifying the various knotter troubles. Each trouble is illustrated by a drawing of the defective band and is clearly dealt with under the headings, Description, causes and Remedies. The Circular (No. 24) is known as “Trouble Shooting in the Binder Knotter,” and may be ootained free of charge, by applying to the De­ partment of Extension, at the Col­ lege. It is of interest to note that the system will be fully demonstrated each day during Farm and Horn* week (June 19 to 23) at the College New Dairy Rules New regulations covering the milk, cream and cheese industries in Ontario have been issued by Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Ag- griculture, under the Dairy Products Act, 19 30. Many of the old regula­ tions stand and are co-ordinated with the new ones enacted by the department. Under “Composite Testing of Milk a new clause reads: “At all plants except where a Government official does the testing, the composite samples of milk shall be tested within five days after the last sam­ ple for the testing period is taken and kept for ten days following the day on which the composite sampler are tested.” A change in rules of sampling and testing of cream says that each pat­ ron’s cream shall be sampled and tested for butter fat within thirty- six hours after delivery at one plant, plant. An important change in premiums for different grades of cream reads: “When a premium of more than two cents is paid, the cream for which such a premium is paid shall test not more than two-tenths per cent, acid. Previously three cents was the fixed premium in this clause. Many rules covering the border areas between Provinces are enacted and much arranged through recip­ rocity between the Governments. Electrical Refrigeration For The Dairy Farm The adoption of mechanical re­ frigeration on the dairy farms of On­ tario will be greatly stimulated thro’ the recent reductions in the cost of equipment and as the result of re­ search being carried on to determine the best type of machine for the av­ erage farm. Several makes of electrically oper­ ated milk coolers are bing givn rigid practical tests at the e>. A. C. with the co-operation of the Hydro Electric Power Commission. When completed, the data resulting from Wake up your Liver Bile —Without Calomel You are "feeling punk” simply because your hver »n t pounng its daily two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels.

The investigation so rar carried out indicate that an erncient cooler should reduce the temprature of an eight gallon can of piilk from 95 de­ grees to 50 degrees or less, in an hour. The cost of this operation is estimated at two cents which is about half of the normal cost of do­ ing the same work with ice. The operation of these tests may be seen in the Physics Building at- the College during Farm and Home Week, June 19th to 23rd, together with a demonstration of how to con­ struct a well insulated milk cooling tank adaptable for either ice of me­ chanical refrigeration. Confidence in Poultry Deal Felt by Ontario Producers “Poultrymen generally would ap­ pear to be confident so far as the 1933 egg and poultry deal is con­ cerned,” said T. A. Benson of the Dominion Government, who is SeniOT Poultry Promoter in Ontario. “There have evidently been more chicks hatched and sold by our hatchery­ men this season than last. It might be thought by s’ome that, while this condition may indicate confidence, it may be discounted by a heavy crop of eggs and poultry later in the sea­ son, resulting in low prices. “It should be pointed out however that stocks of poultry meats in stor­ age as per figures published by the Dominion Bureau or statistics show a decrease of 56.07 per cent, as at May 1st, as compared with the same date last year, and a decrease of .3'5.- 83 per cent, on May 1st as compared with April 1st this year. Eggs held in storage as at May 1st last show a decrease of 15.08 per cent, as com­ pared with the five year average, al­ though there is some increase in the holdings as at May 1st, 1933 com­ pared with May 1st, 1932. “There would appear to be some strengthening of commodity prices generally and although this is attri­ buted by some to merely aritifical conditions it is one of the first signs we have witnessed of what we be­ lieve is a gradual trend towards nor­ mal conditions. The general ..state of mind would appear to have inclined towards optimism so far as econ­ omic conitions are concerned ifor the first time in two years, and, after all, this is the psychology that is needed to help things along. We think we are justified in an attitude of reasonable confidence so far as our Canadian Poultry Industry is concerned, the industry which has more than held its own throughout .the depression which we believe is now gradually becoming a matter of history.” ZURICH Mr. Ben Allen, of Westclock, Alta, visited on Wednesday with Dr. and Mrs. Routledge.

It was a British scientist who dis­ covered that the only way to combat the sourge of Malaria Fever was to wage wrar on the mosquito and it is obvious that in a similiar manner the way to combat “Summer Com­ plaint” and save tne unnecessary loss of infant life is to wage war on the common house fly. If the research scientists are cor­ rect in their conclusions the ordinary fly is a potential killer of every un­ protected baby. The remedy is to hand, Keep all food where it is impossible for flies to settle on it and depost their deadly excreta. Use screens on all doors and windows And, above all, early m the Season start killing all the flies by using safe, clean reliable killers like Wil­ son’s Fly Pads. A few pads used 2 or 3 hours every day during the season, will keep the home or store absolutely free from these deadly pests. WINCHELSEA Mr. and Mrs. E. K.

No matter what the contest results Vera and Lyette will carry memories of a thrilling first voyage home with^them. /The Empress of Britain, one of the world’s fastest liners, broke two records for them, and a combination of fast ship, fast plane and fast train gave the two pretty girls the distinction of making the fastest voyages from London and Paris to Chicago ever recorded. » They travelled so fast all the way that Miss Teppaz, who lunched in Paris, Friday, May 18, found herself breakfasting less than six days later in Chicago, May 25. Miss Fleck’s record was from break­ fast to breakfast. Canadian Pacific officials arranged every detail of their entire journey which, with the exception of two hours and fifty minutes in the air, used the facilities of that organization.
