Apple Crop Conditions
In Eastern Ontario the weather
has been favorable for the develop
ment of tree fruits during the last,
month. Applies are developing sat
isfactorily with present size average
or better and a vigorous foilage in
all well-cared-for orchards. The fruit |
is quite free from apple scab infec
tion in at least 5 0 per cent of the
commercial orchards. Leaf roller
injury is rather severe in a number
of orchards near Newcastle and Bow-
manville. Codling moth injury is
also quite apparent in orchards
where this insect has been trouble
some in past seasons. The prelim
inary estimate of total apple produc
tion in Eastern Ontario shows a 25
per ’cent. increase over last season.
In Western Ontario weather and
moisture conditions have been fav
ourable durig the past month for
good colouring and sizing of apples.
Scab infestation on fruit is fairly
well controlled in well-sprayed eom-
merical orchards, and serious side
worm injury is only apparent in a
few localities. Practically all var
ieties of apples show a decrease in
estimated production except Spys
where a crop 20 per cent, larger than
last year is forecast.

The Potato Crop
The early crop is moving in vol
ume from Leamington, Harrow,
Dundas and Burlington. Some grow
ers in the Oakville-Clarkson district
are also marketing to a lesser ex
tent. The quality is reported good
with no rot in evidence. Size is not
so large as in 1937, but the No. 1
grade is being well maintained.
Yields are lower on account of lack
of sufficient moisture. Supplies are
equal to demand and the market is
firm at $.2.00 to the wholesale deal
er. The early crop will be ’cleared
up in. July.
The acreage planted for mid
season marketing is equal to aver
age. The crop is developing well
but requires more moisture and flea
beetles are plentiful and quite active.
This crop will commence moving to
market about the last week in July
with tie yield depending largely on
the supply of moisture during the

80th Birthday
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Gil
bert Duncan, Usborne Township,
was the scene of a very happy gath
ering on Wednesday evening, Aug-
ust^Jrd, when about sixty relatives
and friends of Mr. John Duncan as
sembled to honor him on the occa
sion of his eightieth birthday. Mr.
Duncan is the eldest son of the late
Alex. Duncan and Joan Chalmers,
pioneers. He still resides on the
farm on which he was born eighty
years ago.
Fifty years ago lie married Janet
Gardiner and to them was born
three sons Alex., Robert and Gil
bert and one daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Borland, all of whom, with their
families were present on Wednes
day evening. There are 16 grand-!
children and two great grandchild

Sanitation for poultry
Hygiene and sanitation are fac
tors as important to the poultry
flock as good stock, ’dean water,
proper feed and range. Failure to
maintain clean and sanitary sur
roundings is frequently the weak
spot in poultry management. Clean
liness, is essential, as high mortality
and reduced egg. production follow
disease and impaired vitality. To en
sure healthy surroundings remove
droppings daily and scatter an ab
sorbent such as land plaster over
the droping boards. Renew litter
before it becomes too dirty, and sup
ply clean water in clean vessels;
disease may spread rapidly through
the medium of dirty water or con
tainers.
At least once a year, with hoe and
broom, snrape and sweep clean the
floors and walls of the poultry house
removing dust and cobwebs and if
running water is available use the
hose at high pressure. Paint roosts
and suports with a good coal-tar dis-
infactant, full strength, and spray
frequently with a solution of the
same product according to the in
structions of the manufacturer. The
range also demands its share of pre
caution. Gravel or sandy loam pro
vide the best sanitary conditions and
is easily worked -with a one-horse
plow. All range and yards should
be ploughed and cropped yearly and
seeded with a quick-growing ’crop.
Sudan grass is palatable and .greatly
relished. To ensure a good supply,
it is well to cut .Sudan when about
six inches before allowing the birds
access to the yards or range. Ideal
sanitary conditions are supplied with
a two or three year range rotation;
a hoed crop intervening in the three
year rotation provides additonal pro
tection against arasites that flourish
in contaminated soil.
Perennial Weed Control
When the infestation of perennial
weeds has spread over a’large area,
cultural and cropping methods have
io be relied upon for their eradica
tion. It is advisable, however, to
use sodium chlorate for the eradica
tion of small patches of perennials.
The latter half of the growing
season is a good time to make an at
tack on perennial weeds. There is not
quite the same rush of work then,
as in the spring of the year, and the
weather is usually more favorable
for the destruction of perennials, par
ticularly couch grass. The roots of
this Weed are killed by a few days’
exposure during dry warm weather
and since couch grass is a shallow-
rooted weed, a large percentage of
its roots can be brought to the ser
vice by 'cultivation.
Another advantage in favour of
killing weeds in the latter half of
the growing season, is that it per
mits the growth of an early crop such
as hay or oats cut for green feed,
before the treatment commences; or
the land may be used for pasture
during the time of the year when
pasture is most productive.
A partial summer-fallow consists
of ploughing in mid-summer follow
ed by cultivation to keep down weed
growth during the remainder of the
season. This treatment should not be
commenced later than August 1, be
cause it takes about three months of
cultivation each time any top-growth
appears to exhaust the food reserve
stored in the roots of such weeds as
perennial sow thistle, Canada thistle
and chicory.
There is, however, considerable
variation in the number of cultiva
tions required to kill perennial
weeds and it should be remembered
that an old establisher stand of per
ennials is more difficult to kill than
a young growth of the same species,
Keeping down all top growth from
July 15 to the end of the growing
season will greatly reduce the stand
of perennial weeds but for complete
eradication of a persistent weed like
couch grass, this treatment should
be followed up in the next year by a
hoed k-rop, such as corn or potatoes.

Gentlemen
This will advise you that our representative was
present during the filling of drums of gasoline, in
both Montreal and Toronto, used in the tests whidh you
are ihakilrig'OH gasoline named by you "Canada’s NOW
Gasoline". These drums were sealed with pur marks
with tamperproof seals.
Samples of this new gasoline wore compared irt
our laboratory with samples of the New Blue Sunoco
taken at random froci retail dealers’ tanks. Cur
analyses show that the gasoline used in these tests was
tho same in every fespeot aS the New Blue Sunoco now
oh sale to the public exdept for the blue coloring
Which. We understand, was omitted to avoid identifica
tion by motorists in the tests.
In our opinion the coloring does not affect-tho
performance of this gasoline in any way.
Yours very truly,

These motorists were people like yourself, came from all walks of life, drove practically
all makes of cars. They tested New Blue Sunoco on the highways and byways, under
exactly the same conditions you will encounter—tested Blue Sunoco against the
gasolines they had been using, 30 of them, 13 of which were premium priced,
PROVING THAT BLUE SUNOCO IS A MOTOR FUEL OF SUCH AMAZING
SUPERIORITY THAT IT RANKS AS AN OUTSTANDING GASOLINE.
LABORATORY ANALYSIS PROVED THE GASOLINE THEY
TESTED WAS THE SAME AS THAT SOLD TODAY AT
ANY BLUE SUNOCO PUMP AND AT REGULAR GAS PRICE.

did. Convince yourself that Blue Sunoco is today's outstanding motor fuel at any price 1
