K. Richardson, Dominion Labratory. of Plant Path- ology, St. Catharines, Ont. Now is the time to inspect carefully potatoes in the fit4ld and to report suspected cases to the district potato inspector or to the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, St. Catharines, ` or to the, Dominion Botanist, Ottawa. Every potato grower should be- come familiar with the symptoms of this disease, the mejtsures recom- mended forits control and should then act accordingly so as to pre- vent it spreading. To control: ring rot requiresdistrict-wide attention, not only 'en the, part of growers, but of dealers and shippers as well. Symptoms of the Disease, The first signs of bacterial ring rot, which' appear early in August, consist of a wilting of one or more leaves on a plant. This wilting in- creases, the affected. leaves ' turn pale then yellow and the edges roll, inwards. Other leaves on the plant soon :become( affected and: finally turn brown and die. One or more stalks of a plant may show the wilt- ing but all do not necessarily become affected. Do not confuse this with tarnished plant bug injury which shows small swellings and discolor ation of the leaf .stalks or ribs where. the insects have been :feeding. Look for the leaf syntptoins before 'late blight appears; for the presence of blight: increases the difficulty in PAGE 3 'WEAR IT ON YOUR ARM See that G.S. badge on his arm? That means he's volunteered to fight anywhere in the world. The Army needs more men like him -,•-men who can take it—men with the courage to fight, so that their home, their loved ones --everything they cherish—may be free. For this War is not over yet, -we still have a lot of fighting to do. And our boys who are fighting over there will need the help of every red- blooded Canadian who is fit to fight, and willing to fight. It will take months of thorough training to make you fighting -fit. • That's why Canada's Army needs you NOW—and needs .you for overseas service. spotting early ring rot symptoms. By the time an infected plant dies, many of the tubers will be infeettid with the disease, though -some may be healthy. Slightly infected tubers show no external symptoms but upon cutting, the, vascular ring will be pale. yellow and crumby in appearance. Other tubers will show discoloured sunken areas on the surface, usually close to the stolen end, or in the vicinity of an Aye. As these brown areas enlarge the skincracks and allows soil .organisms to ' enter and complete the destruction of the tuber. In Ontario, tubers suspected of b4ing diseased should be sent to Dominion Labratory of Plant Path- ology, St, Catharines, or is the Do- minion Botanist, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, for verifica- tion. is Gay Spree Ends in Sensible Eating ` Sometimes people get . a little too smart for their own good and ittakes them a while to come back to their senses. This, in a way, is what hap, pened'to eating habits in this coun- try. Now we are on the road back and enjoying it too. In the days which some people are went to prttjface with the words "good .old", eatinghabits, while not guided by science, were in many ways very sensible. It was more in- stinct than knowledge that prompt. ed our ancestors to ejet three good' meals a day—and they thrived :on it. '.phen a lot of 'factors combined to bring, about a change in eating habits. Cities grow 'larger—people, particularly women began to skip time to make up the t rae the Y spent on street ears. The 20's had in- troduced the flat chested flapper. and an extra •ounce of flesh was the gateway to •eooial oblivion ,andgett- ing along on two teals a day helped preserve the much -too -thin figure. Dieting, without the advice of a physician, became the smart thing to do and bridge table conversation revolvell around ways of getting along with almost no food and still surviving. Fcrtunately for the rale this didn't last too long. We pranced along at a gay pace and then came to a Rill stop. That is when we began to get smart. We could s$ we weren't do- ing ourselves any good and that more often we were doing ourselves actual harm. Instead of getting onr energy from our feed—as nature int tended—we found it necessary to resort to medicinal formulae foe ebbe health -giving constituents' we should have been getting from our meals. But we did come to our senses. We. found that the time we sevei by skipping OM' beealcfast didn't pay during the day, We found that if we ate a he,'altful breakfast of Canadian Cereals, that we felt better! Work wasn't something to drag ourselves through—'we had some energy we could put into it.: ' What was most important, wel discovered that break- fast food, with the health -giving properties our systems needed, were available in ready -to -serve cereals which spared .us the time and trouble of preparing them. And as we enjoyed theses break- fasts and became cereal conscious another fact (began to dawn on us. Cereals ' needn'tbe just- breakfast foods. With the exception of bread we weren't used to grain foods after the brknkfast hour, so it took a little longer for that last fact to sink in. When we did make the discovery we realized what we had been missing,. use reals in pies, in cakes o we e ,Now � p , , in meat loaves and in candy. What is important tae .is that they actul- ly improve, flavour. Dishes made with cereal have a lift to 'them and in addition they fortify these foods with 1 ealth giving qualities: Silence has been kind to us. Even the rest tasting foods may pall if eaten daily. So science has taken our cereals and, turned them into several different types of food—so thattwe can rotate them for variety. We can have them with wheat, rice or corn and enjoy thein flaked, shredded, or popped. If we get temporairi1y bored with one kind -we can switch to another just as good. We learned our lesson well. We are not likr4Iy again to take chances with our health when there is no need for it. I • vi. Dip Sheep Flock 'Again in Fall Fti'l clipping of sheep is just as important as dipping in the spring, but ie is often neglected beleause, on account of the growing wool, the ticks are not easily seen and far-, niers ate led to bejlieve that their flocks are practically free from pests. However, the argument for fall dipping is that a few ticks nn e sheen alt the -ma of the year wile multiply many ttncs.' before Spxinr, aed, it ih estimated thatits tick -free flocks the saving of feed and that increased weight of lambs and wool, as a result of cleanliness, may easily amount to from 50 cents to $1.50 per head. On the other hand, the eost of dipping will not exceed 3 to 5 cents peer head. There is also the consideration for the tendert of the flock. Parasite, are a source of discomfort to the sinirals and a dranwbaelc to their full development;as shown by the, flooks lice g •ro in free from ticks � and w g.et • ter wool and'requiring less feed. At thesame time,the number of lambs is large•; the ewes give more milk, and the lambs grow more rapidly. In view of the continued war de - mond for wool, fall dipping helps in the war effort. September and Oeto- or are they two best months for fall dipping. If the weather becomes cold, the flocks should be housed for a nigbt or two until the fleece dries. Dips are classified accordtng to the nature of the poison they con- tain, as carbolic, arsenic, and tobacco. Most standard dips will prove ef- Active provided the directions are carefully followed. Dip are' spiel 3n two forms -powder and liquid. The powder farm requires a little longer to prepare and slightly more caution and cixactitude: in the preparation of the bath, but it has the advantage claimedbyt t the cantfac users that the sediment remains in the fleece long enough to kill elggs when they batch. The liquid form has the advantage. of being easier to prepare and is effective, but to insure complete eradication of the pests, a second dipping in two or three weeks is recommended. All dips are poisonous and should be kept awar from life stock when. they are being prepared. Further in- formation will be found in, Bulletin No. 614".Sheep Dipping", a copy of which -may be obtained from the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
