L R, Decision of the international Broadcasting Union, 'Geneva, to invite the Canadian Broadcasting Corpora- tion to 'present on lOctober 23' the Fifth World Concert, was adopted following a study of the progress made by the national radio system during the last year and .constitutes a tribute to the higher standard of its programmes, some of which won ac- claim in European countries where they were heard, it is indicated in communicatitns from the Union to receive the honor. The world concerts were inangnr- ated in 1006 and are 'broadcast every six months by a country chosen by the Union, The ,purpose of the con- certs is to bring about a better un- derstanding between nations and to make additional use of the trementl cats power of radio in furthering in- ternational relations. The International. Broadcasting Un- ion, officially known as the Union Ln ternationale de RadiOdiffesion, was established in 1926 at the initiative of the British Broadcasting Corporation when it was found that although au- torities were issuing broadcasting wave .lengths in conformity with a previous international agreement (made at conferences held at Wash- ington in 119l217 and at 'Madrid in 11932) there existed n•o form of international collaboration to insure that a wave length issued in one •country was suf- ficiently separated from a wave length issued in another country. European broadcasters who were suffering from such interference- met in London to study the problem and to forst the Union. Now in its thir- teenth year of existence the 'Union, which is non-commercial in character, comprises as full members practical- ly all the broadcasting organizations of Europe, governmental and private. I't has also among its associate mem- bers the leading broadcasting organi- zations outside of Europe, such as NBC, CBS, ?vFBS, CBC, :the Broad- casting Corporation of 'Japan and the Australian Broadcasting Commission. The Union calls on its members to avoid transmission of programmes or communications, especially intended for listeners in other •countries, which have been the subject ,of :protest by the 'broadcasting .organizations of such 'coun'tries. Through its efforts, also; administrations co.ntrollingbroad- casting organizations not members of the Union, have 'been influenced to submit to the principles which bring about friendly 'international under- standing, The work of the Union in the field of international relations has not, how- ever,. been confined to preventative measures; indeed, it has not even been limited to. prolbleins •of wave lengths :but has extended to artistic and legal matters. The extensive study it has made of means by which broad- cast programmes 'conrlci be used to create better understanding ihetween peoples, has for example, resulted in the world concert series. The concert series; the fifth of which 'Canada will .present ,on October 213, are made available to all of the fifty-five member countries, It is un- .derstoocl that already more than forty of these countries have indicated to the Union their desire to receive and transmit the CBC production.

The most serious 'outbreak of this insect within the last fifty years has taken place. The worms were most numerous and the damage greatest in the counties of Huron, Bruce, 'Grey, Simcoe, Duffer- in, Waterloo, Wellington, York, On- tario and Durham, but there were mi- nor outbreaks all over Old Ontario and also in several areas in New On- tario even as far west as 'Rainy River District. The crops attacked were all kinds of grasses, including timothy and mil- let, oats, barley, Spring wheat, corn and to a slight extent winter wheat. The chief damage was done to oats and barley. Hundreds of fields 01 these were very heavily attacked in the above mentioned counties. 'Where- ver the poisoned bract bait was applied in time and properly distributed, it gave remarkably good results, a single application saving the crop. Wherever it was not applied or applied too late the crop was either ruined or severe- ly damaged. The furrow method com- bined with poisoned •bran also was a decided success in preventing the worms frons starching 'front an in- fested field or fields into non -infested crops, especially corn. Fortunately in even the worst areas there were usually many fields that either had no worsts or very few and this fact prevented the loss from be- ing so great as it otherwise would have been. White grubsin some localities in Central Ontario are abundant in sandy soil or soils of an open texture, and are attacking especially potato tub- ers. Grasshoppers have caused some da- mage, chiefly in the counties of Car- leton and Prescott. Poison for baiting was sent to these, with the result that little further damage is likely to take place, Wheat stem maggots have been nu- merous in a number of barley and wheat fields as shown by the heads turning white prematurely without any kernels developing. This insect seldom doer a great deal of damage. A wheat stem sawfly, probably the same one as occurs in the wheat ar- eas of our West, has been found in wheat fields in Prince Edward, Hast- ings and York Counties. This is ap- parently a new insect for Ontario, and whether it will prove to be a serious pest remains to be seen. It is too early yet to report on the European conrborer, but the indica- tions are that there will be considera- ble damage in Essex and Kent. The variegated cutworm was found in many fields when examining for. army worm. It is not numerous en- ough to cause any appreciable da- mage.
