"Who do you reckon Would want

that flies tvil1 be killed," says a
well-known entomologist, "There's
no insecticide so effective that you

This expert recommends that
dairynnem and other farmers launch
programs early this spring with a
clean-up program that eliminates
breeding places. The second point
in control is "know your flies."
Resistance, so far confined to the
common housefly, is not universal,
Il is greatest 15 Southern areas
where flies breed through most of
the year. People living farther
north have not encountered resistant
strains and find DD'.L' still effective,
There are no reports of blowfly
immunity. Entomologists say fail-
ure to control this fly is due to
failure to understand its habits.
During the heat of the day it rests
in the shade of trees and shrubs
where it is vulnerable.
Observation is necessary to de-
termine possible resistance. After
a spray of DDT, wait a week and
then cheek the kill. 1f fly popula-
tion still is High, try one of the
other insecticides. Lindane, toxa-
p'cne, utethoxyridor, chordatte and

cellent results and will be on the
market this season, Plica resistant

from a late cutting of orchard
grass. He poured a quart of ordin-
ary' feeding molasses in a watering
can. filled with hot water and
sprinkled the mixture over orchard
grass about 12 hours Mdore feeding.
There was good penetration into
the hay; and its straw'iness was
,minimized by the hot Crater, while
molasses increased palatability mark-

Titanium — Metal of
Vast Possibilities
Titanium the earth's fourth most
abundant structural metal, may take
its place among the other tonnage
metals within the next five years,
thinks Dr. Julian Glasser, research
metallurgist.
Though the element was dis-
covered more than 150 years ago, it
was not recognized as a workable
metal until about 1910. Its attractive
Properties have only been known
for the past few years. Titanium is
lighter than iron, stronger than alu-
minum, more corrosion.resistant
than stainless steel, more abundant
itt the earth's crust than copper. 1l
is still difficult to extract pure titan-
ium front its ores economically, but

1f titanium were used in frame,
and engine parts of commercial air-
craft, larger payloads could be car-
ried. Because it is highly resistant
to salt -water corrosion. titanium is
eminently suitable for th,: hulls 0

Spread Them Out
TM season may be short in most
parts of Canada but this does not
prevent g >meeebSIO11 of vegetables.
The trielc is to make several sow-
ings of suck things as beets, beans,
h eiet', radish, carrots, etc. It's a
good plan to sow about a third of
file seed a week or so earlier that;
usual, then follow with a third
about t11e normal time, then a fort-
night or so later plant the rest. This •
will spread the harvest Out over
many weeks, A still greater spread
ran be obtained by using early,
medium and later varieties.
