Of 320 cattle paralyzed by 'this tick in 11“).'O,Niceja Valley in 1957 thirty died.

A blood engorged female Rocky•MOuntain tick is show!) at left with male, top right, and turfed female below.—Canada Dept. of Agriculture. World scientists are going all out in an attempt to solve the mystery of the wood ticks, some of which have the means of paralyz- ing cattle and humans alike, Loss than two years ago, the Rocky Mountain wood tick killed thirty rangeland cattle in British Columbia while paralyzing 290 others. And in the same province, over. 250 human cases of tick paralysis have been reported, of which 28 proved fatal, Researchers Foiled Researchers in Europe, Africa, Australia and North America are trying to determine what powers the tick possesses. Tick sputum has been collected in tubes the size - of a pin and spread over isolated nerve cells. But so far attempts have failed. It is known that certain species of ticks may cause ascending fatal paralysis in man and livestock and that their removal usually brings about rapid and complete recovery. Presumably the.causative agent is a toxin. Its isolation and analysis could lead to. the finding 'of an anti-toxin, could make a new drug available for medical - use, and could contribute to the various theories of nerve functioning, Recent advances' in the studies of tick paralysis have been made at the Federal Veterinary and Medical Entomology Laboratory* at Kamloops, B.C.—where the Rocky Mountain tick appears to 'cause paralysis more readily than the species to the east or south.

Linked with the study of the effect of the tick are studies of the feeding mechanism of the tick itself, They have shown that the tick does not burrow in, but cements itself to the skin of the host and, once attached, alternate- ly sucks blood and pumps fluid into the tissues. Attempts to demonstrate a toxin in this fluid have failed; • Laboratory-raised ticks attach themselves to, a host, but do not engorge as readily as "wild" ticks, which, says Kamloops Entomologist Dr. .1. D. Gregson, leads to the be- lief that climate participates in "conditioning" ticks for their normal two months of spring activ- ity and may even play a part in the varying powers of the ticks to produce paralysis. .IVfodernu insecticides have ad- vanced methods of cheinical control since the days of treating the ani- mals with creosote, lard and crank- case oil. Best of these modern chemicals, according to Dr. Greg- Son, is benzene hexachloride and a spray Of Ortho W 10 BHC applied at the rate of four ounces per gallon of water to the head and shoulders offers protection, Hard to Control Elimination of ticks is ' difficult since a percentage of the one's failing to find' a host will remain sold dormant and reappear the follow- ing spring, Because of this, and the fact that the shortest period from eggs to maturity is two years in nature, control ,rneasures Will not bring about immediate results. .And, becauSe ticks, food on w i ld- .And, ate likely to thrive where. ground Cover permits the presence of rodents.

He commented favourably on the general high standard of living and on the fact that young people become completely independent after finishing high school. When children were young, he observed, they often had their bottoms spanked . by strict mothers. Mr. Honma especially seemed impressed by the Western-style bed, which, he believed, enabled one to sleep more restfully and to restore one's energy for the day ahead. Hefelt all Japanese farmers should adopt this practice and he •himself was determined to make a Western- style 'bed in his own home, he said. The author commented favour- ably on the prosperous life of Japanese Canadians but he observ- ed that few Asians were allowed to immigrate into Canada. This calls-, ed ,a shdrtage of spouses for Ca- nadian Nisei and he thought pros- pective immigrants should remem- ber such problems. Mr, Horirna was careful to point out, however, that restriction on Asian immf- gration was caused by domestic political problems and not because of any antipathy toward Japan, It would appear that. Mr, Honma enjoyed his year in Canada, des- pite some periods of inevitable loneliness. He was well treated at all times and found everyone to be friendly and helpful. , He believes that the experience has been valu- able because, as a Japanese farmer, he has learned a number of new teckniques, more rational methods of work and the value of a diversi- fied diet and raising of diversified crops.

Shantz of Baden was •dispersed, at the farm, the forty-one head bring- ing a total $15,160.00 for a general average of $369.00. Joseph Smith of West Monkton, paid the second highest price of $640.00 for the ten-year-old "Very Good" cow, 'Sunset, Glen Pabst tlarkie. Wilfred McNab of Varney paid $600.00 for a bred heifer sired' by Treasure Model, The $500 figure three times. The 20 milking females averaged $481. each', ten bred heifers averaged $334; 0 open yearlings, $186 and two heifer calves, $2.6.
