PARASITES CAUSE OF BIG LOSS Loses due to cattle parasites in Ontario amount to a large sum uttcit your. This should not be no, as our climate is en ideal one fur live stuck incl not a particularly favorable one for the lower #eonse of life that are pur:•.sltie, Olt our dunnatin anilnalr.. The greatest single lose due to cattle parasites, is due to the heel fly, cone - moldy known as the warble fly or gad fly, During the four months, April, May, June and July, 75 per cent of the cattle hides going to the markets are grub infested and can only make third grade sides of leather. This loss in Canada has been estimated at $7,000,000. Ontario's share in this would be about one-third of that amount for hide:, alone, to this we can told the damage done through r which the fright eau -aril by heel fly, 1 (muses a reproduction of the meat end milk, (estimated at $0,000,000. Denmark grappled with this pro- blem of warble fly leee in a vvay that brought r:1 e, lt. Previoue. to 1923 6 per cent. of the hides going to the markets of that cotmfly were warble irtiured Three years of c•o•. (tperat'on, hacked by legislation and government inspection of the herds, to :.me that the warbles war, de -troy - ed, reduced this Loss to six per cent eft the end of 1920. in .ane „-,'yens of Denmark the reproduction brought the injury down to one --half nor Ment. of the hides marketed. This work was so encouraging that the legislation ha- been renewed for a further three years, with the expectation that the warble or heel it will be reduced to the point of extinction in Denmark. Depreciation of the heel fly can bo controlr;d to a great extens if neigh - bore would co-operate before em-- mats ni-mels are turned out in sprine. Heel flies do not fly au'ond over a wide area so that local effuort, r"nnld brim effective results, Dr. Lionel Steven- son, provincial zoologist. recently made a statement : I would like to at a campaign put on in some township or county to demonstrate the extent to which the heel or war- ble fly could be controlled, if every farmer would queeze all warbles out of the back.: of his cattle." Control measures urea recommended by Dr. Stevenson are quite simple. It is recommended that the herd he gone over every three reeks dur- ing the sea: on when the grub: are undee the hide, along the back. Lo- vete the warble and remove any crusty matter that may be about the aperture of the elevation ant) apply any one of the following rem- edies : (a) One part derris powder, ten parts water ; (b) One part silver nueleinttte, ten parts water ; (c) One part silver nitrate, twen- ty parte water ; (d) One part iodoform, ten parts vas elinee. Tn nee (a), (h) or fe) inject a few drops in on the grub- with a squirt can syringe. To use Id) press a small piece in on the grub. The derris powder and silver nitrate are the most efficient of those, list- ed. The grubs may be pressed out •and killed, but this practice is not always sati=factory as the later 'rubs an, generally missed ; some are crnshod in the attempt to get them out and the animals object. By using any of the remedies hated and godlier rn•ar the herd in a syn• temntic way touch better results are obtained.

The es. timated total gross damage and loss ran about a dollar an acre or 91,- 328,050. It cast- over 9200,000 111 conducting the fire fighting. It will be seen, however that the saving was latch greater than the cost. Many of the fires resulted from drought conditions, while normal hazards are greatly increased by the travel fol. lowing mining exploration into new regions. The forest fire loss to Canada over a period of years makes a racily large sum. oC10CD Coal production in Canada durhli; April, 1929, was slightly lose than in March, but 31 per cent more than 'the average for the month of the, five preceding years, according tri the Dominion Bureau of statistic.*. tate output for the month was , 1,- 893,247 short tons, including 1,198,- 784 ,198;784 tons of bituminous coal, 42,424. tons of sub -bituminous coal and 152,039 tons- of lignite coal.
