COMBAT POTATO BACTERIAL WILT being ROE GROWING MASH Sold by J. A. TRAQUAIR, Exeter W. R. DAVIDSON Hensail HAROLD KELLERMAN Dashwood Many a Romance The lives of many young people are made miserable by the breaking out of pimples on the face. Tho trouble is not so much physi­ cal pain, but it is the mental suffer­ ing caused by the embarrassing dis­ figurement of the face which very often makes the sufferer ashamed to go out in company. The quickest way to get rid of pimples is to improve the general health by a thorough cleansing of the blood of its impurities.

The appearance and spread of the destructive disease, bacterial ring rot of potatoes (bacterial wilt rot), in Canada has caused grave concern, states the latest report of the Can­ adian Horticultural Council Com­ mittee on horticultural research. The Research Officers of the Divis­ ion of Botany and Plant Pathology, Science Service, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture, in co-operation Avith the inspection staff for seed potato certification of the Plant Protection Division, Production Ser­ vice, the report says, are doing everything possible to prevent the dissemination of the disease and to eradicate it from the areas in Avhich it has occurred. The disease Avas first observed in, Quebec in 1931. Since then, it was found in NeAV Brunswick and Al­ berta in 19 37, in Prince Edward Is­ land, Ontario, Manitoba and Sask- atchewan in 193 8, and in Nova Scotia in 1939. Commencing in 1936 certification has been refused po­ tato fields shoAving even a trace of infection, but the number of fields turned down on this account has decreased from year to year. In all provinces, the affected crops have been disposed of either for making starch or for table use. The research work of this pro­ blem has revealed a number of im­ portant facts relative to the bacter­ ial organism responsible for the di­ sease, its dissemination, and the Bourses of contamination. There have led to the issuance of instruc­ tions for diagnosing the disease; the disposal of infected crop; disinfection of cellars, tools, machines in order to prevent contamination of the neAv seed; use of hew bags, or the washing and sterilizing of second-hand ones; and the exclusive planting of certified seed. By these means and by con­ stant vigilance, and further research work, it is hoped that this disease " may be completely eradicated.

After carefully considering the cost of crushing, hauling, etc., the Council decided that the sale price of crushed gravel shall he 50 cents per cubic yard, delivered to Muni­ cipalities and to persons outside of this municipality and 48 cents to ratepayers, requiring lane gravel.

WEEDS CAUSE LOSS OF SOIL MOISTLRE Every farmer is familiar with the effects of Aveeds on crop yields and is continually striving to keep these persistent plants under control. Weeds are particularly effective in reducing grain yields during firy tears when the supply of soil mois­ ture is limited. 'The results of experimental work shoAv that weeds have approximately the same water requirement as the cereal, says Dr. J. <L, Doughty, Do­ minion Soil Research Laboratory, Swift 'Current, Sask. They use from 220 to 550 pounds of water for each pound of dry matter produced. The Russian thistle is the most efficient' of the Aveeds tested in the use of Avater. The heavy infestations of this weed that may occui* during a dry season are ample evidences of its efficiency. Experiments dealing with the storage of moisture in fallow land have shown that when, the weed growth was kept doAvn the type of cultivation did not materially influ­ ence the conservation of moisture. The growth of weeds in a field fol­ lowing harvest may utilize all the avaiable moisture in the soil, thus reducing the benefit of the fall rains Likewise, the Aveed growth on the field the following spring prior to or after cultivation uses up moisture that should be stored in the soil. A heavy infestation of weeds is not necessary to seriously deplete the moisture supply, for one ton of dry matter represents 220 to 5 50 tons of Avater; thus a crop of even one- half ton per acre of dry Aveeds will have used the equivalent of 1 to 2i inches of rainfall. It is evident that any weed growth on land being fallowed used moisture that should be conserved for the following grain crop. Weeds groAving in a cropped field compete with the grain for the avail­ able moisture, Avith a corresponding reduction in the yield. Even a feAV Aveeds may cause a reduction of 25 WILSONS REALLY KILL One pad kills flies all day and every day for 2 or 3 weeks, 3 pads in each packet. No spraying, no stickiness, no bad odor.

It is during a dry period that the weeds cause the greatest dam­ age, for cereal crop cannot compete successfully when moisture supplies are low. Under certain conditions, Aveeds have a beneficial effect in the trap­ ping of snow and prevention of soil drifting. Each farmer must decide for himself whether the benefit de­ rived from the Aveeds will compen­ sate for the loss of moisture requir­ ed to produce such groAVth.
