This strain on body and brain makes physical fitness easier to lose—harder to regain. Today's tense living, lowered resistance, overwork, worry—any of these may affect normal kidney action. When kidneys got out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest, that "tired-out" heavy- headed feeling often follow. That's the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal action. Then you feel better—sleep better—work better.

SPRAYS ROUTED RUST IN LAST SEASON'S TESTS It's beg nning to look as if rust, the curse and master of many a western wheat field, is an enemy that can be 'beaten with modern chemical weapons, That, at least, is seggesed by the promising re- sults of field trials conducted in Manitoba last year which show that Durum wheat can come through 15-B rust attacks rela- tively unscathed when sprayed. with one of the new fungicides. The farm tests, a co-operative venture undertaken by government agricultural representatives, rust research personnel and Du Pont Company of Canada Limited paral- leled similar investigations in the United States' wheat areas and followed a series of small-scale tests conducted over the past four years, Stands of rust susceptible varie- ties of Durum, at four different locations in southern Manitoba, neighboring untreated "control" plots were each one-eighth of an acre in size. Although a hot, dry summer kept last year's rust in- vasion from becoming epidemic, the disease was prevalent enough to make the trials worthwhile.- The researchers had the eye on the life cycle of the rust spore when they' planned their spray campaign. Spores developed in 'the winter wheat fields of the United States travel northward" on the prevailing winds through' Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas, .are, riving in southern Manitoba 'Ana southeast Saskatchewan about June. Showering down on cereal crops like a deally rainfall, the rust spores, tiny fungus organisms, attach themselves -to leaves and sterns, later entering the breathing pores of the plant to rob it of its proper nouursihment and cripple its grain production. Rapid repro- duction of the rust germ in the host plant, together with further airborne arrivals, spreads the dis- ease with uncanny speed. Provid- ing the plants with a chemical overcoat that would kill the spores on contact was the idea behind last year's program. Water-based sprays of "Parzate" fungicide applied early in the sea- son before the annual rust showers began, covered each test plot with the spore-destroying chemical, A "spreader-sticker" compound in the mixture helped give uniform protection that remained anchor- ed to the plants. Conventional weed-type sprayerti equipped with large capacity not: zles and operated at increased pressures produced the voleme of spray required. A second spraying was carried out after a short tnter- val in order to maintain the chemical's effectiveness.' If the weather conditions had been favor- able for the rapid develonmeet of rust, one or two more follow-bp sprays would have followed during the month-long danger period. A careful check was kept on all' pertinent aspects of the treated grain and later dompared with like information obtained from the rust-damaged "control" plots. Al- most without exception, the treat- ed grain rated higher in such categories as yield, weight per bushel, grade, germination and milling characteristics, as well as in the net cash return per acre. - In milling tests of samples froth the treated grain exhibited no ita= ference in the quality of 'flour, bread or macaroni produced. 'The treated samples were equal in flour protein to control samPles, although slightly lowee in • 'wheat protein. In diastolic activity and gassing power, the samples Were similar, Generally, the quality of the treated wheat was higher as shown by bushel Weight., grade and thousand-kernel weight. Further tests with the fungicide during the coming season, as well as full-scale applications by grow- ers, are planned. Foundation Planting You may be making a mistake if you take it for granted that your new home needs foundation planting, warns landscape archi- tect Austin Floyd in the April 1956 issue of Canadian Homes and Gar- dens. Despite popular belief, every house does not need foundation planting, he says, So before yob plant around your 110USe you should stop, look and. decide whether yours really does. If the house hag an ugly foun- dation wall, trees and shrubs will make an attractive screen and bring the house down to a. 'more pleasing look, Floyd says, But if the house is a low, rambling bunga- low, foundation planting is more likely to smother it. Four of the main mistakes made by home owners when they plant shrubs around their foundation walls were listed as: "Using trees rind shrubs that are too big, Plants that grow too large eats block out a picture window, completely hide a door or smother the Ursa porch in branehes. 'Using shrubs that grow tee fast, The house may look fine the Vest few years, but It won't he long before it's lost in the jungle, To avoid this mistake ft ls wise to slow.growing dwarf varieties. 1) In initial wind-borne invasion, rust spores shower down on cereal crops, If plant has a coating of spore-killing chemical,. rust germs are icilk;c1 on contact, 2) Rust spores that have landed on unprotected plant dig into the breathing pores, multiply and throw out new colonies.. If fungicide is applied at an early stage in rust develop- ment, further spread of the diseaSe can be arrested, 3) When nothing is done tos combat rust, it infects the entire plant, sapping its strength and reducing the quantity and quality of grain produced. If attack is severe, entire plant is wrecked. .11aftWOMBElel ; Rim 3 • 1„1, Habil!) 1111101-11-1.704/1110.1111111111/111111-10101.1111111111111M1101.1111-11A01111M11_11 lillic,_-21/1 1111/11{ I TEL Illustrated above—Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe It looks h priced ...but it's the '56 Chevrolet!
