TIME TO COMMENCE MOSQUITO CONTROL The approach pf spring 'is the best time to commence the control of mos- quitoes, because once these pests are on the wing little can be done to pre- vent their spread. All mosquitoes breed in shallow wetter, and the most ef- fective time to attack them is before they emerge. In Canada most 'of the mosquitoes are produced in temporary shallows, such as snow-water pools, rain pools, and the flooded margins of ponds, lakes, and streams. Their eggs are laid during the warmer months but usually do not hatch until after passing through the winter -under the snow blanket on the dead leaves and soil in low places. When the snow melts and the ground is flooded, the. eggs hatch. The larvae develop slowly when the water is cold. When they 'reach full growth they arc transformed into pup- ae (wrigglers) and. emerge shortly afterwards as winged insects. As' a , rule, the largeat number of mosquitoes develops from late April to June. Other mosquitoes breed during the summer en places such as rain barrels. However, permanent control entails a systematic campaign in the fall, atten- tion being paid to the drainage of swampy land and ditches, and the fill- ing in of hollows likely to hold water later on. Both the larvae and the pupae. breathe through tube-like organs which they force above the surface of the water to the outer air, A little petroleum 611 poured on the water suf- ficient to form• a thin film on the stir-, face Penetrates the tubes and chokes the insects. Only the female mosquito bites and her need for blood to mature her eggs. tranforms her into a fierce and persistent hunter. 'AlthoUgh individuals oh their own property can assist greatly by prevent- ing mosquitoes from breeding, best results are obtained only when the work of control is organized by muni- cipal or other authorities, under com- petent direction. Many recipes are in vogue for protection against bites, Some of the most effective; together with the life history of the mosquito and methods of control, are to be found in the publicatin No. 71.9 "Mos- quito Control in Canada", a copy of which may be obtained free by writ- ing to the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. fend.

HOW TO EXTEND USE FARM MACHINE TIRES In view of the fact that rubber for agricultural purposes will be more and more difficult to obtain 'as the. tear proceeds and that a shortage of rubber for necessary ,replacements on farm machinery will result in severe hard- ship to farmers, information on how to prolong the life of rubber tires on farm equipment is of great importance, The Dotnitlion Experimental Station at Swift Current, Sask.; has specialia- ed for many years on the use of rub- ber in agriculture and points out that rabbet' tires on fame machinery can be made 'to give better service and considerably longer life if certain methods are carried out at all times. Rubber is subject to damage by heat, freeehig and dirdt stmlighla Mid wet.

Exeter Boy Killed Ross McDonald, Exeter, age. about 15, was killed when the bicycle lie was riding crashed with a tar on the bridge in, the main street in Exeter. The driver of the car, Hilton Lang, of Exeter, told the police that he was driving his car about 10 feet behind the boy when the bicycle swerved to- wards the middle of the road. He was unable to stop the car in time to avoid the collosion, lie said, Provincial Con- stable John Ferguson and Exeter Chief of Police John Norry decided that a charge would not be laid against the driver. Fractured Ankle When he tripped as he was leaving the Palace Rink, Seaforth, following Wednesday night's hockey game , Frank Farquhar, Hensall, suffered a broken bone in his ankle, He was taken to Scott Memorial Hospital. Horseshoe Found In Tree . To find a horseshoe embedded in the heart of a maple tree was a sur- prising discovery made while cutting wood ,on the farm of Harry Levis, Second Concession Kinloss. The shoe was revealed upon splitting a maple block. They had missed running on to it with the cross cut saw by a mere fraction of an inch. Just what would have happened had this log been sold to a sawmill. can readily be imagined, The only explanation Mr. Levis has for finding the shoe in the tree is that it was possibly hung on a branch when the tree was quite small, and became embedded as the' tree grew.-- Lucknow Sentinel, Gas Explodes During the height of the storm re- cently an explosion of gas occurred in 'the chimney of the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. McWhinney, concession 6, Ashfield., The long chimney, from the ground to the top of the house, has two inlets, one for the pipes of .a coal stove and the other for those of the wood range. The house was filled with gas and the long string of pipes from the kitchen range took fire as well as the chimney, the roar of which could be heard above the noise of the storm. A large number of neighbors braved• the elements and came to the aid of Mr. and Mrs. McWhinney who feared for, the safety of the house, Little could be done but keep watch, al- though the application of handfuls of sulphur to the coals in the kitchen stove in, which there was little fire at the time, nelped somewhat in sub. cluing the blaze which burned itself out without damage.

URGENT NEED FOR FARM WORKERS Representative Addresses High School Students , Recruiting for students and other able-bodied persons who are willing to work during the summer on farms, W. S. Rowe, placement officer for Huron, Perth and Waterloo of the Ontario Farm Service Force of the Department of Agriculture, visited Wingham, Thursday and addressed the High School students. Mr. Rowe atressed the urgent nec- essity for, additional farm labor this year in order that production may be kept at as high a level as possible dute jug these war times when the need of our agricultural poedttets is so great in the United Kingdom. The aim of the Ontario Farm Service this year is to enlist 40,000 people in this province to help on, farms as part of their war effort. There are seven brigades in which those wishing to assist may enlist, the Perlin:reties and Farm Cadets eQ111- posed of students 1.6 years of age and their teachers; the Wemen'S Land Brigade and Older Men's Brigade couterised of persons not in sehool who are tivtileble ,for work by the day, week, month or year; the School Children's Brigade, children 12 to 10 years of age who will be placed and supervised by their parents; the Holi- day Brigade, those who are willing to work during holiday time, and the Nome, and Garden Brigade, whose members are registered with the Wo- men's Institutes, If students are not placed on their own farms or those of relations or friends, the Department will look after their placement on individual .farms, where living and working conditions will be inspected, Mr, Rowe explained. There are in addition a number of privately-owned camps which the growers or farmers have fitted out to accommodate their own workers, Here a cook supervisor is in charge for boys and girls. The Farm Service Force also has a number of camps that ac- commodate up to 60 persons and sup- ervised by the Y.W.C,A, or the Y,M. C.A., and students may be placed in tat ese. Farmers in this district who wish to apply for male student bele during the summer may make appliCation to the Farm Service Force, Parliament Biuld- ings, Toronto. Application forms may be procured from Agricultural Repre. sentative, Clinton or. from the Depart- ment. Clear telephone lines for ALL-OUT PRODUCTION Your telephone is part of a vast interlocleing system now carrying an abnormal, wartime load. Dona let needless delays hold up messages on whieli production efficiency may depend. Very high pressure may cause equal damage by lowouts at high speeds or heavy loads, and will result in excess „ wear on thrive wheel tires. For long- est year anti trouble-free life, the tires should be kept at slightly above the recommended air pressure. The alignment of all wheels with rubber tires should be checked at frequent intervals, so as to prevent excessive wear on the tire of the wheel that may be out of alignment. `file proper amount of wheel weights should be used on drive wheel tires. Information on wheel weights and how to make them is available from the ,Swift Current Station. To reduce tire wear and secure best draft results, the line of draft on each implement should be adjusted. A low hitch on the tractor may cause excess wear on the drive wheels and an extra load on the implement tires, wheels, and bearings. Side draft will cause uneven , wear on tractor and tires.

He was rushed to the Stratford hospital fur an X-ray examination and treat, meet and we are pleased to report that he appears to be making splendid progress towards recovery although not in actual use and. kept in a cool, dry, and 'darkened shed. Implements winch must stand out- doors for most of the year should have the tires removed when not in ;actual Else, and the weight should be taken off all tires which. must stand for any length of time on the machine, The air pressure on all tires in storage should be reduced a few pounds. A coat of recommended rubber tire paint or pre- servative- will protect tires, outside or in storage, against the deteriorating ef- fects of weather and aging. Tires should be cleaned and painted after using and before disuse for any length of time. Rubber will age in time but longest life can be secured by proper use when inactive. Constant use at proper loads and speeds keeps the rubber in the best condition to withstand 'prolonged use. The correct air pressure is im- portant. All rubber tires, except the solid types, depend upon the correct air pressure for their strength to carry the load and for long wearing quality. The farmer should make certain that he knows the correct air pressure for every type and size of tire on his farm, and each tire pressure should be checked at least twice every week When in u: e._ Low air pressure will cause fabric breaks and cracking on the side walls,
