A common watering trough is just NI not good enough for dairy cattle. Un-. II less every animal is healthy, the corn- .1 mon watering place serves as a breed- ing place for tuberculosis. This reminder comes from Canada's It acting Veterinary Director General, Dr, Thomas Childs. He says that 2_ when testing a herd he has often found one or two animals badly infected and next to them on the milking line sev n - eral reactors. If these reactors had been bred and raised on their owner's E. farm, the veterinarian concluded that 13 it was there they had been infected. I The spread of the infection he attrib- b- utes to the common trough. ENor is tuberculosis the only disease E which Cattle may acquire in this fash- Actinomycosis or lump jaw may III be spread when discharges from its ule,ers fall into the trough from which all members of the herd drink. To prevent infection of these dan- P. gerous, expensive and sometimes fatal 11 diseases, Dr. Child's recommends in- dividual drinking bowls. Mort and EE more farmers are installing these.

Not as satisfactory but less expen- sive is a metal or wooden pail for each cow. These should be of heavy con- struction, as cows have the habit of = pushing them around. And as a cow can kick over her drinking pail almost as easily as kicking over her milk pail, the buckets should be strong enough to stand a certain amount of this- viol- „ weed killers, he said ,there will still be plenty of weeds to invade crops and weed seeds enough to keep cleaning plants active. Most of the new weed killers hdVe to be used with caution, as many of them are injurious to some crop plants, and if they are not prop- erly used they may do damage to the even less susceptible crops. Some years ago, seed drill surveys were conducted in several counties of Ontario, and other parts of Canada. Samples of seeds were taken from the drills actually in operation, or from lots of seed which farmers had pre.. pared for seeding, on which remained over from. seeding, Examination of these samples .showed that 40 per cent of the seed sown would have been classed. as "rejected" under the Regu- lations of the Seed Act and a large number would brave passed muster only •by being graded as No. 2 or No, 3 seed. Many farmers consider that No, 2 'seed is ,not really fit for seed, Doubtless the seed drill surveys helped to bring about the establishment of many seed cleaning plants, It would be interesting said. Mr. Wright, to carry out other such surveys to find out how much conditions have improv- ed, - The manager of a seed cleaning plant can perform a service to farmers in giving advice about the wisdom of using certain lots for seeding purposes. Seed which could not he sold in the open market too often finds its way into the ground. When 'a plant oper- ator knows that any lot of seed ,Ion- tains too many weed seeds after hav- ing been cleaned, he should use all his powers of persuasion to prevent it be- ing,used for seeding, By so doing, he would render real service to the in- dividual farmer and to the community in general. Another service the opera- tor can give is to discourage farmers from taking home certain kinds of seed. Screenings from the small seeds are practically of no feeding value and can be of no use to the farmer and are better destroyed. BELGRAVE Women's Institute The June meeting of the Belgrave Women's Institute was-held on Tues- day afternoon, June 24th., at the home of Mrs. Nelson Higgins, 3rd. line of Morris. T his meeting was in charge of the conveneor for Historical Re- search and also arranged as an Anni- versary of the 50 years organization of the Women's Institute in Ontario, as no special observance was held earlier owing to weather conditions, at the time.

During war years, Canada made a notable contribution , to the overall United Nations fertilizer pool and this same co-operation is being continued in the critical post-war period, accord- ing to C-I-L Agricultural NeWs. Can- ada is largely dependent' on United States for raw phosphorous and pot- ash supplies. While Canadian auth- orities, in co-operation with the fer- tilizer industry, are making an earn- est effort to provide adequate supplies of fertilizer for Canadian farmers it is unlikely that supplies will be sufficient to meet the full demand for fertilizer, in all sections of the country, which is expected in the 1947 season.

Predict Shortage Of Fertilizers In 1947 Season 'At a recent convention of the Nat- ional Fertilizer Association, held in At- lanta, Ga., Dr. Oliver Overseth of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization pointed out that in spite of a better than 20 per cent increase in world fertilizer production supplies still will be insufficient to meet world needs. Placing much reliance on commer- cial fertilizer to produce minimum supplie's` of foodstuffs to avert actual starvation in continental Europe and Asia, UNO has enlisted the co-opera- tion of Governments and Industry to provide minimum quantities of fertili- zer to every country in the world which has submitted its re quirements 1 -6d1141/4 awcrmierereinit4 4.0.4fr One of a series of advertisements about Ontario Holidays published in the public interest by John Labatt Limited MODERN WEED KILLERS WON'T DO AWAY WITH SEED CLEANING PLANTS WE WILL BE CLOSED June 30 to July 12 to — TO GIVE OUR STAFF A WELL EARNED HOLIDAY. 11111ffillIMMIP1.1101.1011.11 44 ll E • V • • N # N U U • Pure LARD, lb. .. _28c I SODAS, 1 lb.. , , , .23c Chateau Cream 1 club House % CHEESE, lb pkg. 20c PUDDINGS INGS .2 for 15c Toilet TISSUE ... .3 rolls 21c I Chickenrat Stew, 16 oz. 25c Stuffed Kraft OLIVES, 9 oz. 45c I Ready Dinner, pkg. 19c We have LAYER CAKES, JELLY ROLLS, FRUIT CAKE and DOUGHNUTS All above Pastry arrives daily.
