THE CONTROL OF LOCUSTS OR
GRASSHOPPERS.
The Entomological Branch of the
Department of Agriculture has just
issued Circular No. 5, on "The Control
of Locusts in Eastern Canada", which
has been prepared by Mr. Arthur Gib-
son, Chief Assistant Entomologist.
This circular has been written specially
to help farmers and others living in
districts where these destructive insects
have caused very serious losses in
recent years to various kinds of crops,
such as oats, barley, timothy, rye,
wheat, etc. In certain localities these
insects known commonly as, grass-
hoppers have appeared in such enormous
numbers that they have been the cause
of farmers vacating their farms. In
1914 the Entomological Branch conduct-
ed in,portant experiments in the control
of locusts with -mixtures of bran, Paris
green, molasses, lemons, etc., and the
results of this work are given in the
Circular, as well as the cost of applica-
tion, etc. In Quebec province where
fields were treated with this new
poisoned bran mixture as many as 1200
dead locusts were counted in one square
yard. Brief notes on the life -history
of locusts, and on the four destructive
species which occur in Eastern Canada,
precede the discussion on the methods
of control. The circular has five splen-
did illustrations. As it is free for the
asking, farmers and others interested
should apply for copies to the Chief of'.
the Publications Branch, Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa. Enquiries re-
garding these and other insect pests
should be addressed to the Dominion
Entomologist; Department of Agricul-
ture, Ottawa.

WAGE INCREASE BRINGS RE-
MARKABLE RESULTS.
Ford, Ont., April 30, 1915.—Two days
after it announced to its men that a
minimum wage of $1 a day was in
effect, the Nord Motor Company of
Canada, Limited, turned out a record
production of cars. One hundred and
severity -one Ford cars were shipped on
April 23. The best previous record was
made on April 13, when 166 Ford cars
were built and shipped 'ay the Canadian
Ford factory.
The seventeen hundred employees of
the company were working a nine hour
day up until April 21, when the wage
nerease Was announced and when the
hours of labour were shortened to an
eight hour day.
The fact that the same force of men
turned out a record production of cars
hi a working day of shorter hours is
taken by G. M. McGregor, secretary -
treasurer and general manager of the
company, and by other Ford officials to
mean that in the Canadian faetory as
well as in the factory of the parent
plant at Detroit, where the men re-
ceive a minimum of $5 per day, it is
just good business to pay men well,

Q
A Final Word About That
"Turning By -Law"
In last week's Times we made the suggestion that the
farmers, who would be in town on Saturday, try out the
"turning by-law "
• Many farmers were in town. particularly in the even-
ing, and it did not take them long to discover that the
same "go as you please way" was in vogue and as no at-
tempt whatever was made or has been made to enforce
the by-law, we may safely come to the conclusion that the
council have no intention of making? a by-law, if they knew
it, that would be detrimental to the best interests of all con-
cerned.
Did you figure out that 10 cent remark ? We figure
it out as follows: -.6 good LONG turns (we say Low° so that
you would not get dizzy) could easily be made in -five
minutes ... , „ 10 cents
12 times per hour ... $1.20
10 hours per day ... ..... .. $12 00
300 days 'at $12.00 per day , .. $3600 per year
The last record of our local population was 2628 and we
know of 2625 persons in town who will take the job next
Monday morning if some one will put up the price,
Now, if the council would pass a by.law (no chance?
to much automobile "interests" in council?) limiting the .
speed of autos and motorcycles on main street we might
find some chance of being happy. By this we do not wish
to infer for one moment that the average autoist takes
any liberties with our splendid road for—
While Henry and Clare
Are not the only pair
Who like to speed when riding in their car
The majority we are glad
Do not think much of the fad
And prefer to ride from 8 to 12 per hour.
We intended to say a few words about that "scrap of
paper" this week, but we will refrain except to -say that
this is not the "scrap of paper" which England and her
allies and als,, Germany signed at "The Hague Convention"
and which Germany has 'so flagrantly violated. The•
"scrap of paper" we spoke of refers to
The Murray, otherwise known as the
Derby Shoe, the best of all the
Good Shoes for Men.
