New Eight -Hour Mosquito Repellent
Two years of laboratory experiments with some, 2,000 trial prepar-
ations at the USA. Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, tMd.,
have produced a mosquito repellent which jungle trials indicate rias
an efiectiveness of eight to ten hours in warding off disease bearing
insects. The new compound, "448", a virtually odorless and color-
less ligtud slightly thicker than water, was reached mainly through
the research studi•ee of two U.S. Naval officers: Lieut', Commander
Michael P!joan (,MCI USN:R, Boston, Mass., a former Harvard

•Tte.rveetdng of fail wheat is prac-
tically 'completed in the County of
Huron. This year's sample is small
and shrunken compared to a normal
sample, and yields have been down
considerably running on an average
of from 20 to 25 bushels per acre.
There is quite a demand for Fall
Wheat seed from fields that were
not infested too severely with smut,
and for a new variety, Cornell 595, a�
which is resistant to loose smut. In-
dications . are that the acreage of Farmer Badly Injured
by Threshing Machine
wheat to be seeded this fall 'will be
ten or 15 per cent greater than in
1046. Aecorddng to LeRoy G, Brown,
Olinton, agricultural representative
for Huron County.
"Considering the poor weather dur-
ing the seeding period, and the late
date at which many of our Beide of
spring grain and oats were sawu,
the yields of those fields gown earli-
est have been quite good; in fact
some farmers have claimed that their
cats are as good as last year," Me.
Brown stated. "Fields, which have
been seeded down to hay pasture mix-
tures this spring, have gotton away
to a remarkably good start, and in
some cases the young eleven are np
to the band in the sheaves."
"Turnips are =icing very goad
growth even though late seeded, and
with the constant reserve of moisture
in the soil, as a result -of our wet
!spring, the possibility of water -core
is not so- great as last year. Water -
bushels, consisting of an average
yield of 25.8 bushels per acre on
41,094 acres, in the ,County of Huron.
In 1946, acreage under fall wheat
-eta 38,823—or 21.5 per cent less. To-
tal production this year is expected
to :be S.5 per cent greater than last
year when it totalled 1,024,887 bush.
The average for Western Ontario
is estimated at 27.3 bushels per acre,
Huron County 'being_ the lowest in
this group. It was 81.2 :bushels per
acre in 1946. For the .province as a
whole, the average is 26.8 bushels

The members of the Health Com-
mittee appointed and made response
ible for the project by the County
Federation have been busy for the
past few months planning and estab-
lishing the service for the people of
Huron County,
'Under the plan euch groups as
school sections, Women's Institutes,
farm 'forums, church, professional,

vide their members with hospitaliza-
tion,
Since nrenibership is available only
through one of these groups a low
yearly rate has been made possible.
The plan is :based'on cooperative prin-

During iais year an educational.

committee in charge, with the idea
of giving every group in Huron an'
opportnnaty to become :acquainted
with the rules and regulations under
