Garden .Slug Control
Garden slugs are frequently num
erous on heavy land where they do
considerable damage to beans, let
tuce, cabbages, cauliflowers, and
other crops. Like pests, the slugs
can be more easily controlled if im
mediate attention is given before
they increase in numbers, Infested
plants and slugs should be dusted
with hydrated lime in the evening
-after the sun has gone down and
■feeding has commenced. Care
should be taken to 'cover the upper
and lower surfaces of the leaves
and the soil immediately surround
ing the plants.
Hydrated lime is effective only
when in the form of a light dry sub
jected to moisture, and in that con
dition it is not injurious to the slugs
For this reason, a few light appli
cations of lime at intervals of
■or four days are much more
tive than one heavy dose.
Another method of control
quently recommended is to
the infested .plants thoroughly with
[Bordeaux mixture. This material
is repellent to slugs, and, if the fol
iage of the plants is completely co
vered, many of the slugs will con
fine their attentions to seeds grow
ing in adjacent fields.

Grading Canned Tomatoes
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 four 'grades of canned to
matoes: Fancy, Choice, Standard and
Second quality. The canned product
of all grades must be packed from
sound, ’clean fruit, and be free from
pieces of skin, cores black spots or
sun scald. The Quality grade must
contain at’least 05 per cent, drained
tomato solids, Choice Quality grade,
at least 55 per cent, and Standard
Quality grade, at least 45 per cent.

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, particularity 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 unspray
ed apple trees. Caterpillars have
now ceased to feed and consequent

The iglassy cutworm, which
like most species of cutworms work
beneath the ground and attacks the
roots of plants, has been exceptional
ly troublesome. Damage from other
cutworms has been about normal.
Grasshopper outbreaks have oc
curred in Renfrew, North Hastings,
Northumberland and Manitoulin Is
land. Poison bran baits have been
applied promptly and present indica
tions are that the insects will be
brought under control before they
can do much damage.
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
every sweet clover field, It

Rose chafers are now about at
their peak in light sandy land, and

USE OF' COKE IN CANADA
The consumption of coke in Can
ada is increasing, not only for in
dustrial uses hut.also in the homes
of the people for heating purposes.
In 1934, the latest year for which
complete figures are available, we
used over three million tons in the
Dominion which was about half a
million tons more than in the pre
vious year.
Considerably more than half of the
quantity used goes into domestic
heating. Ontario uses more coke
for domestic fuel than all other pro
vinces combined, actually about 80
per cent, of the total.
There are more than 40 establish
ments in Canada producing coke.

the day on Wednesday, August Sth,
when, in an exhibition game at Vic

he knocked a home run in the ninth
with two on bases to win 7-5,
The game resolved itself into a
pitchers’ battle right from the start
with the local Al Fisher pitting his

an edge on the field and it was Car

Tested Recipes
Sparkling’s Jellies
‘Pound for pound and boil an hour’
was the recipe given in our grand
mother’s day for making sparkling
jellies and delectable jams, and as
swreets her “preserves” were a tri
umph. Modern knowledge of foods
however, demands methods by which
equally pleasing jams which also
retain the nutritional value of l'resh
products, can be produced.
“Add pectin and boil one minute”
has taken the place of the old slogan
and gives attractive jams and jellies
with very little effort, very little
fuel consumpion, and all the beau
tiful variety of colour and flavour in
various fruits just as nature made
them.
Pectin is a chemical substance ob
tained from ripe fruits, particularly
apples and, in the right combination
with acid, is necessary, to form a
jelly consistency. Some fruits contain
pectin in large quantities, others
have very little. Some have not suf
ficient acid, especially if fully ripen
ed. Apples, particularly the crab
variety, red currants, and grapes us
ually make jelly of good consistency
without the addition of other pectin,
but seed fruits, such as peaches and
strawberries will never “jell” with
out it. Commercial pectin is usual
ly made from apples, made in clean
factories under careful supervision,
and therefore may ibe used with con
fidence. Follow the directions given
w’ith the pectin which may be either
liquid or powder form.
