FORESTRY STAMP -- This stamp,
which will go on sale Aug. 29,
marks the Fifth World Forestry
Congress. The design is taken
from the Congress seed.
United States, exploring the
possibility of nationwide eradi-
cation of hog cholera, has coil-
suited leading authorities in
Canada where the infectious
virus disease has never been
given a chance to get a foot-
hold. * * *
Dr. K. P. Wells, Canada's Vet-
erinary Director General, attend-
ed a Chicago meeting called by
local, state and federal officials
to discuss the problem.
Dr. R. J. McClenaghan, chief
of the Contagious Diseases Sec-
tion, Health of Animals Division,
was at a similar meeting in New
Orleans, and Dr. W. A. Moyni-
han, associate chief, attended one
in New York City.
*
Even before the turn of the
century, Canada rigidly controll-
ed hog cholera by slaughtering
all animals found suffering from
it. During the past decade there
have been eight outbreaks in
which about 3,500 pigs were des-
troyed by officials and their
owners compensated.
The U.S., on the other hand,
long ago decided to liVe with
the disease rather than attempt
to stamp it out. Control by vac-
cination has cost $1 per hog up
to market age, and the annual
loss to the swine industry from
the disease has, been estimated
at $50,000,000,
Hog cholera is often associ-
ated with the feeding of uncook-
ed garbage. *
Tree growth on 2,000 acres in
southern Quebec was sprayed
from the air with ,DDT last
month, as authorities waged war
on infestations of gypsy moth.
It 'is only the third time in
35 years that an outbreak of this
pest has been reported in Can-
ada. * *
L. L. Reed, who directs sur-
vey work for the Plant Protec-
tion DivisiOn, Canada Depart-
ment of Agriculture, said DDT
in diesel fuel was applied at the
rate of one pound per gallon per
acre. -
"This is the same treatment
as has been used with remark-
able success in the United
States," explained . Mr. Reed.
"American officials report near-
ly 100 per cent destruction of
larvae." * *
Nevertheless, extra precautions
will be taken this year to guard
against further spread of infes-
tations.
About 800 sex-attractant metal
traps, loaned by the Uhited
States Department of Agricul-
ture-, will be used during the
summer flight season of the
motif.
In addition Jo placing traps
at the point where controls have
been applied, the trapping area
Will be extended north and west
to ascertain if additional pock-,
ets of itifestatieh occur.

Comdr. Robert S. Leopold, chief

Research Laboratory at Camp
Lejeune, N.C,, explained why:
"Suction helps spread the snake
venom faster."
Dr. Leopold bases his report
on an eighteen-month research
program in which 30 rabbits
were strapped down on a lab
table and injected with rattle-
snake venom. Ten animals were
left untreated; to the other
twenty, Leopold applied the
standard snakebite suction pump.
The untreated rabbits lived some
60 per cent longer than those
with standard therapy. Dr. Leo-

goes so deep into the victim's
muscles that suction cannot
reach it,"
TLIEFARM FROM
Joktassea
The subject for the lessons of
this quarter is, A Century of
Great Prophets, We shall study
Amos, Hosea, Isaiah and Micah,
in that order.
Amos was a herdman and gee
therer of sycamore fruit in Te-
koa of Judah when the Lord
called him to go and prophesy to
Israel, His preaching disturbed
Israel. He pointed out in detail
the social injustices of the day.
He warned of the danger of the
sense of false security in this
era of unparalleled prosperity
since the days of Solomon. Amos'
penetrating attacks on sin pro.
yoked opposition. Amaziah, the
priest, complained to King Jere-
boam. He bade Amos to go home
to Judah and prophesy there and.
leave Israel alone, But Amos
stayed till his task was done.
He predicted that •the children
of Amaziah would be slain, his
wife would be a harlot in the
city and Amaziah would die in a
strange land.
Many ministers have confided
to a minister friend, "I wouldn't
dare present that line of truth
in the church where I am now."
Of course, ministers must have
in mind the capacity of their
hearers to receive. Paul wrote in
his first letter to the Corinthians,
"And I, brethren, could not
speak unto you as unto spiritual,
but as unto carnal, even as unto
babes in Christ. I have fed you
with milk, and not with meaty
for hitherto ye were not able
to bear it, neither yet now aro
ye able, For ye are yet carnalt
for whereas there is among you
envying, and strife, and divie
sions, are ye not carnal, and
walk as men?" But Paul was re-
ferring to the deeper truths a
Divine revelation, lie was no
suggesting that he had:withhel d
reproof of sin. A reactEgeef: hii
letter shows that he c'erridernned
fornication, covetousnesS, ;extor-
tion, railing, drunkenness:- law-
suits between members, mumur-
ing and partaking of the Lord's
Supper unworthily. Paul did not
hesitate to expose sin.
Ministers have a great respon-
sibility. They heed the prayers
of God's people. If they are
speaking for God then they must
give His message at any cost.
And they must give it -in the
•spitit of love. May God'elp us
- to be faithful to Him. •"
June Is Dairy Month, and I
feel constrained to make some
appropriate r.eIn a r is s. Three
glasSes ref Milk every day, eta.
The statistics on dairying are the
teresting every year the nom,
bee of dairy farmers goes down
While the production of milk
goee up. Fewer farmers keep
more cows who give More milk.
Indeed, the dairy business has
so changed that an old cow hand
like myself is almost a. stranger
to it today. It is less sociable, As
it has consolidated .and mechan-
ized, it has become the kingpin
of American agriculture, all
phaees considered, until today
the dairyman sounds more like
an industrialist than a farmer.
The Dairy Princesses are be-
ing selected nationwide right
now, to glamourize the business,
and they are very different from
the tight-iingered lasaies cf a
bygone time, sir she sayed, sir
she sayed. The chances are your
Dairy Princess can tell you the
calcium content of .04 milk, but
she couldn't get a decent strum
on the bottom of a pail.
Milking was always, almo'st
everywhere, considered squaw
work. In most of the world, a
man who milks loses face. Switz-
erland is one country wheee
man could milk within the de-
finitions of propriety, ana in
parts of Europe a milking man
is still called a "Swiss," even
though he may in truth be an
Armenian. I'll bet you didn't
know that!
Today the gentle and persua-
sive art of draining a cow is so
thoroughly mechanical that a
Dairy Princess needs only to be
pretty and have enough votes.
In New York State not long
ago a power failure in the milk
ehed created disturbance enough
so the news service featured. it,
and whole legions• of cows went
unmilked until they could screw
in a new fuse. Some farmers
cleverly drove their trucks up
to the barns and connected hoses
to the vacuums on the wind-
shield wipers, giving their milk-
ing machines enough pull to do
a lair meantime job.
But that night hired man af-
ter hired man deposed and stat-
ed that he could not or would
not milk — and it's perfectly
true that it was just as well, for
cows nowadays know little that
isn't mechanical and they would
probably have put up a holler.
I think the great marvel of
the milk business is the process
of pasteurization, which has
been overplayed as a health
device, for its primary function
is far more practical. The dic-
tionary is a little more accurate
about this process than some of
the milk promoters. It stops or
delays fermentation, and with-

Milk is highly perishable by
nature — the elements that
nature—the elements that make
it an ideal food are all elements
that promote quick and natural
digestion. Quick spoilage of milk,
in truth, is its own proof of ex.
cellence, Pasteurization thus de-
lays this. natural consequence and
gives the farmer time to move
it long distances to waiting door,
steps, Most milk travels at least
100 miles today between pro-
ducer and consumer.
Not long ago a dairyman in
southern Massachusetts bid on
and won a government contract
to supply milk to the Loring Air
Force base at Limestone in
northern Maine — some 400
Miles away. It wasn't too long
ago this would have been utter..
ly absurd, And this dairyman,
had his cows not in Massachu-
setts, but in Vermont! At first
he brought milk in tank trucks
all this long distance, but later
he began buying milk produced
in Maine and set up a creamery
near the base — smoothing the
logistics. But his Vermont cows
stand ready to fill any gaps if
Loring needs more milk, and
pasteurization makes the long
hike possible.
America depends most heavily
on Holsteins. They are a large
framed cow, derived from the
continent, and by selective
breeding have improved on an
old reputation for a low-fat milk
in quantity. They used to say
if the cow filled a pail, but you
could look down through the
milk and see the bottom, she
was a Holstein — and in those
days it was "steen." It is now
"stine," and she is a potential
record-breaker in all categories.
Next comes the Jersey, a
smaller and folksier animal from
the Channel Isle of Jersey,
whose rich milk won her the
name of the "butter cow." They
say there are more Jerseys in
the world than any other cow,
and a man with a herd of regis-
tered Jerseys always has a
pleased look on his face.
Another Channel breed is the
Guernsey, who is growing fast
in popularity, 'and is trademark-
ed with the "Guernsey Gold"
title. She has a high conversion
factor — food to milk, and she
is one of the prettier cows when
she adorns a sward and contri-
butes to a landscape. Also impor-
tant in America is the Ayrshire,
from Scotland, who like the
Scots themselves is adaptable
and can stand in a snowbank
in Canada while her sister is
equally at home in an Alabama
swamp. Her conversion factor is
high, too, and she is chummy.
Easy to work with in modern
milking parlors.
Two other, breeds are gaining
favour. One is the old Red Dur-
ham or Milking Shorthorn,
whose, beef characteristics give
her a "salvage" value. She gives
a fine milk, but traditionally
doesn't "hold up" so well as the
year advances. Here again, se-
lective breeding is changing that,
and many farmers believe her
the ideal cow. The other is the
Brown Swiss, said to have a
mighty potential and some day
to be far more popular than
now.
Milk consumption nationally is
'on the increase. Congress has
just, enacted a far bigger sum
for school and institutional milk
programs. So let us salute the
milkman in .June, when green
pastures are lush and the morn-
ings are splendid, and Bossy on
yonder brow is lighthearted and
kind. — By John Gould in the
Christian. Science Monitor.

Locomotive No, 41004 was a

the advent of diesel power, .she.
came to the end of her useful,

scrap heap, Did anyone care?

year-oldlocomotive buff not
only liked Old 4004; he wanted
to buy her, It was the dream of
,so many boys—a full-sized eng-
ine •of his very own, Bucking up
his courage, he approached the
London Midland Region with an
offer to buy old 41904 on time,
with 'weekly payments out of his
pocket money.
Alas, said the authorities, this
locomotive may be outmoded,
her brasses may clank, and her
iajectors pulse wearily, but she
still is worth £1,000 ($3,000) in
the breaker's yard for her 58 ton
of scrap metal, She ,was definit-
ely beyond Steven's means, So
old 41904, trailing a streak of
steam and soot, chugged sadly off
to the last roundhouse.
But wait. The story of Steven
and the engine is not entirely
unhappy. Kindly railway offic-
ials later called on the boy and
presented him with the smoke-
stack number plate from his old
friend. So at least Steven now
has a memento of old 41904 for
his railway collection.
Or take old No. 55, a real an-
tique with small wheels and a
tall stack, vintage 1875. She now
belongs to the Bluebell Railway
Society, a, group of 1,000 private
railway enthusiasts, including
two Bishops and four members
of Parliament. They bought her
for £700, and paid £450 more
for two railway coaches.
Moreover, they have rented a
stretch of track on Which to op-
erate their own train—four miles
through some of England's love-
liest bluebell woods, between
Sheffield Park and Horsted Key-
nes, in Sussex. British Railways
closed this line in 1958 because
it did not pay,
Then the society was formed.
Its members sold homemade
fudge, fruit, and anything handy
to raise money. They charged
members a one-guinea annual
subscription fee. Rail fans from
overseas heard about the Blue-
bell Railway and sent money.
The result is that this summer
old No. 55, denationalized and
under private operation, will be
puffing happily down amoung
the bluebells, with a gentle hand
on the throttle and two coach-
loads of contented train lovers
jogging along behind, writes
Henry S. Hayward in the Christ-
ian Science Monitor.
Speaking of wheeled vehicles,
some cars have motors—and
some don't. Both can be. useful.

last season 97 moths were trap:

A third shipment of Canadian
agricultural products left Mont-
real recently, bound for Rum-
ania.
It was the wind-up of pur-
chases arranged for by a delega-
tion of Rumanian agricultural
leaders during a four-week tour
of !farms and ranches in central
and western Canada last March.
* *
The final shipment included:
220 Hereford heifers and five
bulls from the prairie provinces;
100 Ontario Holsteins, including
two bulls from high test dams;
19 Aberdeen Angus cattle, in-
' eluding one bull, from Ontario;
50 Landrace pigs from western
Ontario; eight Alberta rams —
five Rambouillet, one Columbia -
and two cross-breds; and two
Border Collie sheep dogs, also
from Alberta.
In the earlier lots were 892
Hereford heifers from western.
Canada and nine Hereford bulls-
from Ontario.
*
Carl Anderson of the Eastern
Irrigation District, Brooks, Al-
berta, accumulated the western
stock. Of the cattle making the
trip to Montreal, a small num-
ber were rejected by Rumanian
officials for reasons that could
be attributed to the hazard of
the train trip. * *
Bucur Schiopu, Vice Minister
of Agriculture, who led the dele-
gation to Canada, said that qual-
ity stimulated his interest in pro-
curing Canadian cattle and other
farm products.
Besides the livestock, the Ru-
manians bought corn and soy-
bean seed. In addition, a Can-
adian firm was given the job
of constructing a 250,000 bushel
elevator on one of the country's
biggest state farms.
