SUPPLIES, SUBSIDIES PRICE FERTILIZERS What is the fertilizer situation for this year? The Dominion Department of Agri- culture announces it has made ar- rangements for supplies equal to those used in Canada last year. L he 1943 demand for fertilizers is greater than that of 1942, it May be necessary to prevent their use for other than es- sential food crops. Itbowing this, tar-sighted farmers shOuld take dey livery of their fertilizers as soon as possible to make sure of getting them. The Fertilizer Administrator, Grant Feart, gives the good news 'that Can- ada 'in 1943 will have .the lowest priced fertilizers of any of the United. Nations, While farmers in one of the allied ,countries will have to pay Per. cent more for 1,943 fertilizers than they did last Year, farmers in Canada• will actually pay less than they did in 1942, This 'saving to the Canadian farmer is a result of orders issued by the Fertilizer Administration which have completely eliminated eompeti-• live warehouses, reduced the number of grades of mixed fertilizers made in time faetories, established f.o.b, selling from factories and factory zones of distribution, and have reduced the cost of -manufacture and distribution, Farmers of Canada's five eastern provinces buying the same amount of fertilizers they did a year ago will make their purchases at an estimated saving of $640,000, What about subsidies? The Dom- inion Department of Agriculture's fertilizer subsidy has proved so pop- ular with farmers that it will lie con- tinued in'1943, Here then, in brief, is time fertilizer situation at present: supplies equal to those of 1942, continued subsidies, and lower price. • START FIGHT NOW AGAINST HEEL FLIES Warble or heel flies and their grubs cause an annual loss of many millions of dollars to the live stock industry in Canada, in the present state of NV F economy; the loss in beef, hides and milk, due ' to warbles, is of national concern; states the Division of Entomology, Dominion Department of Agriculture. Heel flies are about a half an inch or slightly more in length and have somewhat the appearance of small bumble bees, During spring and early summer they attach their egg to the legs and under-parts of cattle, and though they do not sting or bite, stock become terrified and run for shelter. Heel flies seem to avoid shade, so, where possible adequate shelter should be provided for the herd. When the eggs hatch, the small grubs penetrate through the skin, causnig sores, and work their way through the body toward the region of time gullet. Then they m (We up- ward to the back where they fora? cysts or warbles. They cut a small breathing hole through the skin and remain there for several weeks. While in time baCk of the cattle they may be easily destroyed by the application of a warble wash containing rotenone. Proprietary warble powders ready to use are available. fly and the' illness, and occasional The running of cattle by the heel death, caused by the migration of time grubs through time animal's body, re- sult in tremendous losses in weight, finish and milk flow. In addition, the holes cut in the hide by the grubs spoil the best portion used in the manufacture of leather. These materials are all vitally need- ed now. Labour is scarce, but there is probably no way in which greater returns can be obtained, at such small cost in time, effort and money, than by warble control. .In. the Prairie Provinces and most of Eastern Canada the first applica- tion of derris wash should be applied about time third week of March. In British Columbia and other milder parts of the Dominion it may be ap- plied as early as time middle of Feb- ruary. Three, and preferably four, applications should be applied at 30- day intervals. Provincial Departments of Agricul- ture have further information on Warble Fly Control and the Publicity and Extension Division of the Dom- The lunch problem has been solved for thousands of Ottawa's war work- ers through the establishment of a number of cafeterias and lunch rooms which are run by volunteergroups.

Recent- ly a number of smaller lunch rooms TEETH NEED YOUR GREATEST CARE "Teeth are like wives. Neglect 'em and yoU're headed for trouble," declares a pamphlet entitled "Be Kind to Your Teeth", just released 'by the Industrial Division of the Health League of Canada for distribution among industrial workers. Accomp- anying the pamphlet is a striking car- toon-style poster illustrating how even a toothache can cut down vital war production, which is available for use on factory notice boards at a nominal charge. "Be Kind To Your Teeth" points out that a decayed tooth, if neglected, may lead to chronic, serious, or even fatal illness. Such foods as candy, sugar, cakes, pastry (the refined carbo- hydrate foods) should, be used in strict moderation as their excessive use con- tribute to dental decay. On the other handy the pamphlet advises, uncooked foods such as green vegetables, raw fruits and dairy products are good for time teeth. Meat and eggs are needed for vitamin's—except vitamin D which is provided by sunlight in the summer, During the fall and winter months cod liver oil or other fish oil added to the diet furnishes vitamin D. Exercise for the teeth is necessary if they are to be healthy, it is stated. . Vigorous chew- ing of food does time trick. Proper care of time teeth, it emphas- izes, includes . brushing them after each meal, using a small toothbrush with well separated tufts; the use of dental floss or cotton thread drawn be- tween the teeth to remove food part- icles; brushing- time Upper teeth down- ward and the lower teeth upward; brushing vigorously the top surface of back teeth, and washing the mouth out with clean water. Periodic examinations by a careful dentist are essential, it is stated. At least one visit a year is necessary. A good dentist will stress prevention have been opened in downtown churches, These lunch rooms give ! practical expression- to Canada's nat- ional nutrition program by providing nutritious lunches at very moderate prices to a group who would other- wise find it difficult to get an adequate lunch. Establishment of similar lunch rooms in communities where adequate restaurant facilities do not exist should meet with equal success.
