SCIENCE MISSION TO JAPAN
Two of the world's most technologically advanced nations have just
Compared notes on agricultural research in their respective
countries—to the advantage of both,
The opportunity for exchange came through the recent Canadian
Science and Technology Mission to Japan, led by Alistair Gillespie,
Minister of State for Science and Technology,
Dr, B.B. Migicovsky, director-general of the Canada Agriculture
Research Branch, headed the food and agriculture sector 9f the
mission.
Canadian interests in the mission included an assessment of the kind
of research that should be carried out here to develop or improve
agricultural products for sale on the Japanese market.

INSECT APPRECIATION
Insects are finally coming into their own, Once thought of as just
pests to be destroyed, they're beginning to be looked on with some
respect. For instance, insects offer one of the best ways to measure
water pollution. Change the temperature of a pool or river one degree,
and you won't find the insects that were there before.
A survey of insects present in an orchard before and after spraying
indicates what the pesticide is hitting.
And, insects have aesthetic value too. How often do we pause on a
summer's day to watch the flight of a beautiful butterfly?

SAWDUST TOMATOES
Almost 70 per cent of the greenhouse tomatoes grown on Vancouver
Island reach maturity without touching soil.
Sawdust and nutrient solution have replaced soil as a growing agent,
and tomato growers on the Island are finding it a profitable substitute.
It has taken 10 years and extensive experimentation at the Canada
Agriculture Sidney, B.C., Research Station to reach today's level of
success.

Dr. Fleischmann has been on the staff of the Canada Agriculture

international recognition.
He will take up his new duties during the summer.

ansive annuals
BY A. fl, .5LicicLgv
There are quite a few annuals
that will grow into very large
plants from seeds sown outside in
April or May.
Some of these grow like weeds,
yet are not obnoxious. They
require little attention and in a
short time cover an enormous
space that might otherwise have
to be completely landscaped. An
annual sowing of these in an
otherwise unsightly area
requires little effort or money to
establish and little or no
subsequent maintenance,
One such plant that
immediately comes to mind is the
castor-oil plant (Ricinus
communis), It has all the above
attractions, but one serious fault,
Its seeds, which are produced
abundantly during mild late
seasons, are extremely
poisonous if eaten. This problem
can be overcome if the seed pods
are removed before the seeds
have formed. This is a simple
operation of merely snipping off
the flower stems that form at the
axils of the leaves toward the top
of the plant in late August. In
normal years in most of Canada
the plants will be killed by early
fall frosts before the seeds have
ripened.
The castor-oil plant is
certainly very easy to grow, for
the large seeds may be started in
peat pots indoors in late April and.
transplanted at the end of May, or
sown in mid-May in the location
where the plants are to mature.
The seedlings will soon grow into
very large plants giving a
subtropical effect, and they will
cast the most interesting shadows
on patio paving or on modern
fiberglass fencing. Besides the
usual type there are other
cultivars such as the coppery-
leaved Zanzibarensis' and the
red-stemmed `Gibsonir, which
also has a metallic hue.
The summer-cypress or
burning bush (Kochia scoparia)
will make a neat, two-foot annual,
cypress-like hedge with no
trimming required. It has light
green feathery foliage all
summer that turns to rich red
color in the fall. The seeds are
best sown in mid-May in a location
where their evergreen-like form
and appearance might prove best.
They are adaptable to a very
sunny area and will make a
background for other plants. For
a good temporary summer hedge
sow the seeds in a straight drill
one inch deep, and thin out to a foot
apart when the seedlings are
large enough to handle,
The love-lies-bleeding, or
amaranthui (Amaranthus
caudatus) become very large
plants with red-green foliage and
long red rope-like tassels of
flowers. They prefer a poor dry
soil and are exceptionally good
substitutes for shrubbery at the
back of borders, or for use as
temporary informal hedges. Sow
in late May, when the soil
temperature is more conducive to
the germination of seeds of these
tropical plants. Other kinds of
amaranthus are the Prince's
feather (Amaranthus hybridus
TypoCondriacus') which grows
three or four feet high and has
reddish foliage, and the Joseph's
coat (Amaranthus tricolor),
which has blotched and colorful
leaves of bronze and bright red.
Visitors to the Ornamental
Grounds of the Canada
Agriculture Plant Research
Institute in Ottawa or even those
who drive by the trials grounds,
will be entranced by the flaming
beauty of three fairly new hybrids
of these plants from Japan. These
are Early Splendor with pendant
foliage and brilliant red coloring,
Flaming Fountain, with finely cut
foliage of vivid crimson, and the
new Illuminapon with attractive
orange-scarlet leaves with a
yellowish center. If you start
these plants indoors, sow them in
peat pots to eliminate
transplanting shock.
Cosmos is a showy easy-to-
grow annual that succeeds well if
planted outside in May, Improved
cultivars offer different colors
and earlier blooms. These are
extremely effective when planted
against a fence or wall in full sun
where they may be allowed to
grow up to four feet high.
Larkspurs or annual
delphiniums grow much better if
the Seeds are sown directly in the
open ground during late April or
early May. They don't transplant
Very Well but will grow to
perfection if sown where they are
to flower, The seedlings should be
thinned to a six-inch Spacing,
There seems to be a knotweed
(Polygonutn) for practically
every purpose in the garden; for
inches long, The seeds of this
annual must be sown as soon as
the frost is out of the ground in
early' April. Thin to 24 inches
apart or transplant when the
seedlings are large enough. It
does very well in moist soils as
well as in dry locations.
Poppies of all kinds are best
sown where they are to Hower,
There is such a diversity of bloom
in these plants, that one can have
an attractive garden using them
alone. Just scatter the seeds
anywhere and they will grow, but
it is best to confine them to an
area where they can be
controlled. The Shirley poppy has
perhaps the most refined flower
of all poppy types in both single
and double forms. There are
many other strains such as the
American Legion with huge single
red blooms, and the begonia-
flowered double hybrids and
dwarf types. Sow the seeds in
early April for fast results.
In front of all these larger
plants sow such interesting and
colorful annuals of medium height
as the cornflower, sweet
scabious, balsam, California
poppy, for use as edging plants
sow nasturtiums, portulaca and
alyssum. All will flower
profusely all summer if sown
outside in the first week in May,
Thin them to three inches apart
for mass effect.
