Quantities of gasoline in each unit from time to time may be varied by the oil controller (G. C. Cottrelle, of Toronto,) as circumstanc es require.” Mr. Howe said that United States and other foreign tourists while in Canada will be entitled to purchase gasoline “to the same relative as Canadians , who drive cars fall within the basic category.” Canadians also were warned pect ration cards in other lines as well. Donald Gordon, chairman of the War-Time Prices and Trade Board spoke at a press conference about Canada’s supply of various commod ities. “My judgement would be,” he said, “that we will get an increasing am ount of restrictions <all the way through in order to supply the needs of war.” The announcement said that under the plan of gasoline rationing to be imposed in Canada, each vehicle own er must register with the oil control ler, and a gasoline license and ration coupon® book must be obtained for each vehicle.

An excellent method of control in winter is to run all the grain through a fanning milt when the temperature is below freezing, the grain should be run through the mill at a moderate rate, Once the insects are separated from the grain the cold quickly make I them dormant.
