Order Now! If
You Want To
Plant More Trees
Those who wish to improve their
lands•by planting trees next spring
should apply, now for the trees
they .will require, is the warning
of W, E. Steele, Reforestation Sup-
ervisor. As the supply is limited,
and the demand is great, the early
applicant is given a preference.
Trees are available to anyone
in Ontario who owns an area of
two acres or more exclusive of
buildings, and the cost is so low
that anyone can afford them.
Prices are $14.00 per thousand for
Scotch Pine and $10 per thousand
for 'all other species. The trees
are intended for use in reforesting
waste land, refilling a forest or
establishing windbreaks in rural
areas. However, a great many
are also planted as a Christmas
tree crop. .
Scotch pine has been the favour-
ed Christmas tree, but the Euurop-
can Pine Shoot Moth, an introduc-
ed insect, has spread over such a
wide area in Western Ontario that
it constitutes a very real hazard
to Scotch, Red and Austrian Pine.
It has the effect of deforming
trees to the point that they may
be quite useless either as Christ-
mas trees or timber trees, and can
only be controlled by picking off
each infested bud—an almost im-
possible operation in a severe in-
festation. Consequently, those who
intend to plant trees of these spec-
ies are asked to give very careful
thought to the risk involved, be-
fore they plate an order. Spruce
and white pine are not affected by
this pest, and both develop into
beautiful trees.
In planning a plantation and in
managing a woodland, provision
should be made for roads to pro-
vide easy access. They are use-
ful for inspections, for fire pro-
tection and for harvesting the
crop:

A NEW WHEAT DISEASE IN ONTARIO
DWARF BUNT
Field surveys and laboratory
'analysis ,of • wheat samples taken
in 1953. and 1954, indicate a wid-
ely scattered infestaitien of Dwarf
Bunt in Ontario, the Field Crop
Branch, Ontario Department' of
The recommendations of the
committee on Dwarf Bunt are:
1. If buying' : seed wheat be sure
to buy the registered 'grade.
Crops
• ' There . are ample.; sulipiies of
every
the popular county:' varieties in almost
2, Provided E es's i a n Fly and
Root Rot are not a problem,
seed as early as possible. Tests

more warf Bunt in late sown
D
3. Avoid seeding wheat after
• wheat. Uee as long a rotation
as. possible.
4. Tr ea t, the seed, preferably
with one of the chlorobenzene
disinfectants.
Circular 183 on Dwarf Bunt is
available at any agricultural rep-
resentative's office.
Agriculture reports Appro,dmat-
ely seven per cent of the,. fields
examined so far show ifected
heads. The degree of infection to
date is only a 'trace" and rarely
exceeds two per: cent. ' .
Unfortunately, Dwarf Bunt is
known to remain in -the soil sev-
eral years and ,therefore cannot
be controlled by ordinary seed
treatment.
Dwarf Bunt is not easily ident-
ified from the Common or Stink-
ing Bunt of wheat. Positive ident-
ification can only he made by a
microscopic examination. Usually
'the bunted stern is only half the
length of a normal stem. The head
is usually open and pale in colour
and the kernels are discoloured
and misshapen.
A special committee on. Dwarf
Bunt was appointed by the On-
tario Departfnent of .Agriculture in
1953.
-As yet, no complete control
measures have been devised but
there are,, promising leads which
the committee hopes can be suc-
cessfully developed. The only one
whichcan be relied on at present
is the use of Dwarf Bunt free seed.
The Dwarf Bunt tolerance In
registered and certified grades of
seed wheat is zero. Under present
regulations this is doubly checked.
First, a thorough field examina-
tion is made and even if only one
head of Dwarf Bunt is found the
field is turned down for registra-
tion. To be doubly sure, the wheat
sample which is sent to Plant Pro-
ducts' laboratories for analysis -
and grade is subjected to micro-
scopic examination, and should
Dwarf Bunt spores appear, the
seed is rejected for registration,
even though the field reading may
have been clear.
In this way, Registered and
Certified grades are as free from
Dwarf Bunt as it is humanly,pos-
sible to make them.
