The European Pine Sawfly (Ne- ocliprion sertifer) has ,increased in numbers and ,spread into many new pl'antatio'ns ' this yeiu% So serious has it. become that the Huron district staff of the Dept. of Lands and FOreets, has bad to resort to aireraft spraying sin the Huron County forests north of Goderich.. This insect normally hatches early in May; but, because 'of the late season, it was late this year. During the hot days in the "week of • June 6th-1201, those green worms, with , black ..head and black stripes along the body, 'de- veloped rapidly and' ate veracious- ly so .that they have , completely stripped the mature .needles,. from ninny of the Scotch and .red pine trees in a few plantations...

In its early stages, when -the insect is" only about one-eighth to one-quarter 'bf an inch 1 long, it can' be 'controlled' by using a' virus to infectsthern with a disease, The virus makes them ill, and as they crawl over the food,--the% sick 'in- sects affect others.

The Canadian National Ex- hibition's agricultural show, which has been adding new Teaturea each year during the 'past decade, will .bold a sale of steers as an- other highlight this year, The ag- ricultural director } Jack perdue, said that the sale would be held to assist and encourage cattlemen ,to prednce better market. enttly. 'The auction will take place fol- lowing the day of judging all market classes, At • Exhibition time there is a Scarcity of good stable-fed cattle and, with prices usually a few cents higher, buyers are expected to: hid keenly for. good steers, Mr. Perdue said. A. sale at ;this time will' also take pressure off auc- tions of this land held at later date when .market cattle are more' ,plentiful, he added.

FARMERS Ontario farmers are • advised to• .use`. more home-grown feeds in order to meet the present cost- price squeeze facing them, That is the advice given by Prof, Robert- son of the Ontario Agricultural College Economics Department.. This publication outlines"' the pos- sible short-term economic future for .Ontarie farmers, The recent introduction of hulk milk handling has .caused concern among dairy farmers, A recent in- vestigation into the &bond-init. as- pects of bulk milk handling show- ed 'that in this method the fixed costs were higher than for the can method. There are other ad- vantages to using -bulk methods, however, that may • offset the higher fixed costs. . In food consumption --there is. underway a shift from lower prieeds, energy, sfnettle (cereal pro-• ducts and potatoes) towards high., er priced animal prodticts and Protective foods • (fruits and vege- tables), Tbeic should be, then, a change in production so that suits pluses of unwanted food do not accumulate and at the same time expand the output of the most wanted food. Hog comsumption records show that we are consuming 12 - Watts- and more hogs a. week now than in the same period . of 1955; and we can' expect an increase of only 3 thousand marketings : a week this fall. Coupled with this • in- crease in domestic consumption because of lower prices, there has- been only a small increase in stocks. For these reasons the fall price of hogs is likely to be stronger' following 'the usual strengthening of price June and jaly, This farm business quarterly. notes that cheese stocks area down: both' in Canada and New Zealand.- There is an excellent prospect for strong cheese prices in 1956. This- will support the price structure of concentrated milk products where stocks of these ,commodities are heavy. • Beef cattle prices will undergo a 'seasonal strengthening hi July. Feeds and cash crops have suffer- ed, from the late si)ring, Corn and soybean acreages are up and the level of support prices in the 11,5, Will have a bearing on Canadian Market prices, Because of signi- ficant crop losses its Europe there are good prospects for ex- ports and stronger prices .for win- ter wheat, There Will be higher prices for roughages.
