Alabama demonstrated the presence of the virus of poliomyelitis in mixed collections of blow flies, house flies, and certain other species of flies taken in two loc- alities where cases of infantile paraly- sis occurred. This fact adds emphasis SWAM 7 HOURS Mrs, Dorothy Repke, 23, who swam seven hours to reach shore to be the only survivor of 13 per- sons aboard a 30-foot cruiser that struck a rock and capsized, in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. Mrs. Repke, exhausted and hysterical, said the party hired the boat for fishing. About 2 p,m. it crashed into the rock. Several members of the party, including Mrs. Repke's husband, started swimming, but she was the only one to reach shore. to the importance-of fly control. Flies breed in garbage, manure and other animal matter, and thus can be most effectively controlled by properly tre- ating and disposing of such materials. Measures should be taken to exclude flies from dwellings and to protect foodstuffs from those that may gain entrance. The ilies should be destroy- ed promptly. Leaflets containing fur- ther details on fly control may be ob- tained by writing to Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. RATS CARRIERS OF 1 , DISEASES That the common brown rat is something more than a nuisance, is shown by a recent survey of typhus fever conditions in the Southern Unit- ed States. According to official figures cases of this disease reached an all- time high in 1939, while the areas af- fected are said to be steadily widen- ing. Scientific investigators established that the brown rat was the _"reservoir host", says the. Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association, and the rat flea the chief agent in passing the in- fection on to human beings. Special attention was paid to an out- break of 75 cases at Nashville, Ten- nessee in 1989. There it was found, that the chief focus of the disease was in the granaries and warehouses close to the railways which enter the city. Grain, cars are believed to be one of the Principal means by which the rat hosts travel farther afield carrying the disease with them. "The appearance of the disease in a number of new cities, far from its earlier habitat, constitutes a public health problem of increasing import- ance," says the Journal. "The solution lies in a more rigorous rat eradication program."

Farmers from coast to coast are being asked to increase sheep pro- duction, as one million more sheep are required for 1943, agricultural of- ficials state. Ontario farmers have done an excel- lent job in producing wartime foods, such as cheese, pork, eggs and con- densed milk and are now being asked to increase the sheep population of the province by 25 per. cent. The Ontario campaign now getting under way is under the personal dir- ection of W. P. Watson, Live Stock Branch, Ontacio Department of Agric- 'culture: Mr. Watson states that the present sheep population is approxi- mately 440,000 and 25 per, cent in- crease will require the retention of 110,000 ewe lambs. Total sheep marketings last year were approximately 250,000 heads with about half the marketing,s being males. "This means," said Mr. Watson, "that most of the 1942 ewe lamb crop must be salvaged for breeding purposes. There are 36,000 Ontario farmers keeping sheep. If each one of these men retain three ewe lambs in addit- ion to those required for replacement, the necessary increase will be attain- ed. However, a great many flock owners are already keeping all they can properly accommodate, so new flocks must be established. Our ob- jective for 1942 is 1,000 new flocks, said Mr. Watson, They should be es- tablished in counties most suitable for sheep raising. Counties have been. div- ided into Categories, A, B, and C, ac- The Countess of Minto recently chirstened H.M.C.S, Huron, first of a number of powerful Tribal. class des- troyers built for the Royal Canadian cording to present sheep population." Counties' in "A" category-- where over 5,000 lambs were marketed last year -- will be asked to establish three new flocks per township. They include Bruce, Carleton, Duff erin, Durham, Grey, Hastings, Huron, Larnbton, La- nark, Manitoulin, Middlesex, Ontario, Rainy River, Renfrew, Simcoe, Victor- ia, Wellington and York. Counties in "B" Category where lamb marketings were between 2,500 and 5,000 last year, will be asked to establish at least two new flocks per township. These include the counties of Frontenac, Haldimand, Halton, Peel, Perth, Peterborough, Waterloo, and Wentworth. All other counties not included in above categories will be asked to es- tablish one new flock in each town- ship. Agricultural representatives are tak- ing a prominent part in the campaign for more sheep. They have just com- pleted a she4) survey and are in a position to advise prospective flock owner s regafding suitable breeding In past years, parties wishing to es- tablish flocks have invariably post- poned doing so until the fall months, believing that ewe lambs could be pur- chased at lower prices at that .season. Realizing that this situation may oc- cur again this year, the Ontario De- Navy in Britain. Accompanying the ..countess is Capt. R. I. Agnew, R.C. N., O.B.E., captain commanding Can- adian ships and naval establishments in the United Kingdom. partment proposes to purchase good ewe lambs, on the market and in sortie of the larger sheep producing counties, during the summer months. These lambs will be assembled at strategic points so that a reserve supply will be available later in the season. It is plan- ned to sell these lambs at current mar- ket prices. 2rospective purchasers are remind- ed that although the price per pound may be lower later in the season, the lambs will weigh more, with the re- sult that there will be very little dif- ference in the total cost. Ewe lambs purchased and assemb- led 13y the Department will be avail- able for shipment to counties where the local supply is insufficient to meet the demand. When lambs are shipped in carload lots between points within the Prov- ince located within 200 miles of each other, freight will be paid by the Dom- inion Department of Agriculture. The Dominion Department of Ag- riculture also proposes to supply a ram for two years, free of charge tin- der a loan policy, to all parties es= tablishing new flocks consisting of a minimum of 1.5 ewes, so loot.; as suit- able rams are available. Forms for makim; application for freight assist- tance or loan of rants, will be avail- able at all Agricultural Represeuta- tiv es' offices en and after August 1st.
