VETS RI "INSIDE
STORY" WITH X-RAY
liliinEuis and animals have a lot
of things. in comnton, not the least
of which are ills and accidents.
Colts are as prone as children to
-an attack of collo, Sheep and sales-
men are equally suseeptible to
pnelmeenia, Boy and beast both
Manage to ,sprain and fracture
limbs with eomparable frequency.
Their medleal treatment, too, is
remarkable alike. Sulpha drugs, 4'19erlionlill and other antibiotics are
used as effectively in the veterin-
ary -as in the general hospi-
tal, Of increasing benefit to the
animal world is another of man's
Modern medical aids—the X-ray.
A lame horse that in the past
might have had to be destroyed
;because an adequate diagnosis
ecnild not be made through external
observation can now be X-rayed
as effectively as a human, Animal
X-rays result from much the same
procedure as is followed with hum-
ans, although the veterinary has
the added difficulty of positioning
and achieving patient co-operation
without the aid of verbal Instruc-
tions.
Newest advance is the use of
portable radiology equipment which
can be carried about in a car which
operates on ordinary electric out-
lets, enabling the Veterinarian to.
X-ray an animal right in the farm-
er's barn or racetrack s,ta.11, High
quality films are the rule rather
than the exception in this type of
work, says Du. Pont of Canada
X-ray experts,
A typical instance of on-the-farm
radiology occurred recently when
Dr. G, D. Stirk, a veterinarian In
Brampton, Ontario, was called in
by Mr. John Bull to examine a
couple of prize Jersey cattle in the
well-known. B.H. Bull and Son
herd. Assisted by H, C. Sterne, who
provided the mobile X-ray unit, he
took a radiograph of a calf's injur-
ed leg and with it determined that
no permanent damage had been
done. At the same time he obtained
- an X-ray check on the position of
a, tracheotomy tube which had
, 11111111411111111111111111111111;1111111111111111111111111111
previously been intierted in 0,. cow's
wW.I3lPe to enable it to breathe
despite an -obstrueting growth.
(Both, of these operations and the
resulting X.-rays are shown: in the
acconmanying illustrations,)
Veterinarians recognize; however,
that portable X-ray -equipment has
its limitations, While excellent for
the examination of extremities,
such machines are not designed to
produce sufficient itilevoltage
deep penetration to the body.
Work of that typo requires the
large sort of fixed. radiographic, ep-
pavans Capable of high-output
such as is found 'in Most modern
hospitals..
pioneer work in this field was
done at the Ontario Veterinary Col-
lege. at Guelph which now has a
full-fledged division of radiology
for both instruction and research,.
Ailing animals in the surrounding
area are often taken to the college
infirmary for X-ray examination.
Over the past few years dogs, cats,
mink, chinchilla, goats, swine,
Sheep, cattle, horses and various
birds have been X-rayed there,
Urban Worker and
Farmer. Important to,
Canadian Economy
The inter-dependence of the
urban worker and the farmer was
emphasized this week by -Harold
Martin, chairman of the Ontario
Cream Producers' Marketing
Board.
Mr. Martin, who is chairman of
an organization representing 50,000
cream producers in Ontario, said
that the workers in Canadian in-
dustry spend more than a quarter
of their income on food, most of
which comes from Canadian farm-
ers. About half of what the Cana-
dian workers spend on food, he said,
goes to the farmer. In turn, he
added, a good part of this money is
used to purchase the things pro-
duced by Canadian industry. -
Farmers cannot expect to pros-
per when industrial workers, are
idle, nor can industrial workers if
'farm prices are -too low, Mr, Martin
said.

HURON- JUNIORS
TAKE BUS TRIP •
Seventy-three Junior Farmer and
Junior Institute, members-were up
bright and early on Saturday, July
28th to take part in the Huron Co.
Junior -Farmers' bus tour to Toron-
to. The two bnses started their
journey at 5.30 a.m. and, one hour,
later had left the county. The first
stop on the tour was at the well-
known Rosafc Farms on No: .7,
Highway just west of BraMpton,
Herat the Juniors saw the HOlstein
herd sire and new 00'XI.10' ' bp:in
with the self-supporting roof. The
farm is owned by Dr, Estengle ,of'
the Argentine, Who owns several
farms of that size. , ,
From there they went to Melton
Airport and found it ilo be. a very
busy place. From the observation
platform the, group saw several
flights leavira and arriving: While
at the airport arrangements were
made with the TCA to visit the
hanger where they saw a Super
COnstellation aircraft. It was the
first time a number of those on the
tour had been in an aircraft of
any size.
The nett stop was the New
Woodbine Race Track where they
Were able to go through the new
18 million dollar establishrtrent.
This particular stop was the high-
light of the tout and many agreed
that they would likely return to
the track to take in the races at
a later date,
From New Woodbine: a hurried
trip was made to the Master Feed
Farms just east of Langstaff for
a lunch and tour of the farm. The
yetitig people Were supplied with
fee cream anti chocolate milk, cam-
plinients of Master Feeds. After an
interesting trip atotind' the beef,
dairy, swine and 'poultry buildings
they Went davvilteuni in tordnto for
a tour of Casa Loma,
Although the tour had started
early in the Morning, time was
running out arid ainbitiert Was be-.
ginning to lag. Vost of the Juniors
had Walked several Mika and up
and down several hundred stairs.
At approklmately 5.46 the buses
were parked near The tivoli
Theatre and eVerydite enjoyed a

Weeds in Corners
And Waste Places
Weeds grow in profusion along
fence rows, roadsides, drlyeways
and other neglected areas. Being
inconspicuous they often go 'unnot-
iced, and after a few. years they
are frectuntly taken for granted,
'Many farms have small neglected
areas, usually, close to the farm-
stead, where weeds cldvelop and
spread, to the fields when • least
expected. The corner, of ,'the field;
the stony 'knoll, the small" strij
tween the barn. and 'the trees is
frequently- overlooked,.
Farmers cannot expect to gain
the benefits of cultural or ,theinical
methods of weed control in*, the
fiefds unless a concerted effort is
made to prevent the 'growth 'and
seeding of weeds in the uncultiVat-
ed areas surrounding the "Wm.
Weeds of all classes, annuals,, bi-
ennials and perennials may be found
in theSe non-cultivated'areas, but
as a rule the annuals ptedominute.
This helps to simplify control be-
cause the weeds can be destrbyed
before they mature seed. But all,
too frequently weeds are mowed
when in seed and left on the
ground to dry. The seeds or ,even
the entire plants are blown in great
numbers to adjacent cultivated
fields. It is incorrect to assume that
if plants are mowed when in flower'
that all danger of seed production
is past. Consequently early de-
struction is advisable if the pro-
duction of weed seeds , is to be
prevented, On all uncropped areas
where a tractor or cultiVating
implements May be used, clean
eultiVation With disks or plows us-
wally gives the cheapest and most
effective control,
Property owners sometimes spent
indifferent to Weeds and treat
alem careleSsly,, allowing seeds to
develop and heaWr at tandom,
little extra thought and labor will
do much to prevent the growth and
spread of weeds.
