Wild Carrot Spreading at an Alarming Rate Wild Carrot is spreading at an at - arming rate in Ontario and is consid- ered one of the most objectionable weeds in the !Province, says J. D. Mc- Leod of the Crops, Seeds, and Weeds Brandt. It is a biennial and requires two years to produce seed, Flowers may be seen from July to September in white clusters which are fiat top- ped when .open. When nearing matur- ity these flower clusters ottrl up and if plants are not destroyed they will break off during ,fall and winter scat- tering millions of seeds over frozen ground and snow, Thus it will be seen that clean. areas miles distant may be .infested if plants are permitted to mature seed. The impartance of de - stroying all plants immediately after they come in flower cannot be em- phasized too strongly, Mr. McLeod states, The seeds of Wild Carrot, thous- ands of which may be found on an average plant, hear rows of prickles which stick to animals, clothing, etc., and are thus carried long distances. This weed -does not give any diffi- culty isa fields where thorough %titi- vation and a short rotation of crops is practised. However, in meadows, which are down two years or more, in clover and timothy fields which are being kept for seed and in pasture fields, fence lines, waste places and roadsides it is rapidly becoming one of our worst.weeds in that it ,smothers out pasture and hay crops, robs the sail (its plant food and moisture and lowers the market value of seed craps. A short rotation ---clovers, 'buck- wheat hoed crops and early summer cultivation, followed by fall wheat or rye are excellent methods of .coatral- ling this pest. Pulling, spudding or cutting for two years in succession will not give new plants an opportu- nity to mature seed and will lessen the amount of Wild Carrot considerably. When a single plant or a small patch is observed all other work should be dropped until every plant is eradi- cated. Mt clover and tiinothy fields being kept for seed should be gone over carefully and all Wild Carrot plants rogued out. Sheep will keep wild carrot cropped close if .permitted to pasture on an in- fested area .before plants 'become too far advanced. Pasture fields or hay fields where a single cut of hay has been taken off eanly 6,hould be trimmed again first in. September and if plants have reached the 'curling up stage the Whole area should be raked up and burned. Chemical weed 'killers are the only practical solution for the control of this weed on roadsides, fence lines and all areas where it is impossible to cultivate. Experiments conducted at various points throughout the Province have provenconclusively that this weed can be ,destroyed by spraying with Sodium Chlorate with- out any permanent injury to the grass, using from 5/4. to ,f/.: a pound per gallon of water. Plants should he sprayed to saturation a clay or two af- ter the first blooms have appeared us- ing a high pressure sprayer. • Milk Production With the exception of two small groups of .counties one in the central Portion of the province taking in Hal- ton, Peel and Simcoe, ,and the other in the East, including Lennox and Addington, Froutenac and Glengarry, the condition of pastures is above av- erage. As a result milk flow is holding up well and all classes of livestock are in good shape. The quantity of milk sent to cheese factories and creamer- ies in September last year, showed a considerable increase in South West- ern and. Central Ontario, but a very substantial decline in Eastern Ontario, Young Lady: "I have -brought back those stockings I had 'from you yes- terday. They are too fast for me." Shopkeeper: "Too fast?

When cold weather comes healthy appetites automatically seem to re- quire warm foods. Why not, satisfy this natural desire by serving and eating cheese? .Cheese may, of course, be used as it is purchased, but in this form it does not provide the pleasing sense of warmth to the taste, although its high fat content makes it an excell- ent 'heat producer in the body. This valuable .dairy product, however, changes 'from a cold to a hot food when conilb'ined with other foods such as eggs, milk and cereals, to produce a tempting cheese souffle or some- thing similar. The wise homemaker will depend upon savory, appetizing cheese dishes to solve the luncheon or supper prob- lem many times during the coming months of cold weather, ad will con- stantly use such recipes as the lot- loWing which have been selected from Dominion Department of Agri- culture publication '556, "Cheese for Better Meals";— Cheese Souffle 3 tablespoons 'butter 4 tablespoons flour 11 cup milk /2 teaspoon salt Yolks of 3 eggs Whites of 3 eggs Few grains cayenne out) cheese, grated Pinch of mustard Melt .butter.

All toe often vigorous plants of great promise die Ifrom exposure to the win- ter .conditions that prevail in this northern latitude, states R G. White, Student Assistant, Dominion Experi- mental Station, Fredericton, IN13. 'Undoubtedly the primary .requisite for good wintering is to have well livened bushes 'before cold weather sets in, In a dry year this usually oc- curs automatically, as the season ad - trances. A wet year, 'however, niay prolong growth to the danger point Over such conditions the gardener has no control, but fertilization and cultivation should be so timed as to induce proper ripening of the current season's wood. Recent information acems to Indicate that well 'nourished plants winter better than stirred ones, provided good maturity of the wood is Obtained. Roses have been grown at the Fredericton Experimental Station for over ,fifteen years. During that time some losses have been sustained, but in general the plants -have 'wintered well. In discussing protection one must bear in mind that killing occurs more from drying, winds and alter- nate:periods of freezing and thawing. than 'from ictuai cold. Thus, the growing parts should have a covering.' that will protect these areas from such conditions. Rugosas and polyan- tha rose are hardy, but the hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas must have, protection. At one time the roses at the Station were wintered by 'treadl- ing the plants deep in the ground. They wintered quite wen, but the work involved proved too great, so this method was abandoned for the equally ,effective, yet much simpler method of mounding up, Just 'before the ground freezes, the stems are tied loosely together to prevent the snow from breaking them down, and the bushes are then mounded with earth to a height of from eight to twelve inches. This earth is taken from between the plants. 'No additional covering is giv- en unless the 'bed is manured. The practice is not to prune any of the bushes in the autumn as this might cause the exposed tissue to dry out. In this way the roses winter quite ivell,.last winter not a plant died. During a year with a light fall of snow, as occurred in i19.36, the loss runs up considerably. A precaution against a 'light snowfall would he to use additional covering in the form of evergreen boughs, or leaves to protect the plants and hold the sssow. these to be put 00 after the ground freezes. Soggy materials should be avoided as they lend to !blacken and not the wood. Although climbers are not grown at the Station, they may be protected by removing them from their trelliaes. coiling them up carefully to prevent any breakage and covering them com- pletely with six inches or so of earth. Additional covering of boughs or dry leaves may be given if desired. Some growers simply lay the canes down and build a wooden hox around them, filling the box with dry hardwood leaves. The box should have a leak- proof cover to keep out the water, Roses so wintered should have the covering removed gradually so as not to expose the stems suddenly to the changeable periods of sunshine and cool spells, that occur in the spring. and milk, Beat egg yolks and add with milk, Fold isa stiffly beaten egg whites.

Day" this year will never he forgotten in the Rainy River District—as it marks ,one •of the great- est oatastrophes in the history ,of Northern Ontario. While Canadians generally were giving thanks for their ,blessings, thousands of men and women in this northern district were living through hours of indescribable :horror. For days and nights. they fought, heroic- ally, to save life and property from the raging forest :fires which devast- ated their country. Bandaged feet .and eyes. bodies and faces :blistered and burnt. today 'bear witness of that stubborn and magnificent fight against overwhelming odds. In spite of these .heroic efforts, 20 persons are ,dead: some :300 men, wo- men and children are homeless, .clesti- tute; some 400 others have seen the results of their years of labor, their barns, their stack, even their seeds for planting, all ,swept away; over 8,000 square miles of forest and farm land are in ashes and ruins. Requested and supported by the Provincial and Federal Governments, the Red Cross has undertaken the ar- duous task. of relief and rehabilitation in these hurnt-oost areas. • Remembering bow generously and warm-heartedly the people of Ontario came to the rescue of the Haileybury Fire victims in 51922, the Red Cross confidently lays the plight of these present fire sufferers before you, knowing that you will do what you can to relieve their distress. $100,1000 is urgently required. Your contribution, whether large or small, will be welcomed at any local Red Cross Branch, or may 'be sent direct to Red Cross Headquarters, 6211 aar- vis Street, Toronto. Loosening the covering as spring ap proaches is advisable as a circulation of air is provided that is good for the plants. Tree roses should have their roots loosened on ,one side, and the whole plant laid down and covered with earth, being sure the root is well cov- ered. These simple methods should prove satisfactory under ordinary northern conditions, with the result that any- one growing roses can look forward to a good bloom the following year. The last guest was in the cloak- room getting his hat and coat. He couldn't help noticing the woebegone look on the attendant's face. "You seem upset." remarked the guest kindly. "What's the trouble? Haven't the „guests tipped you well this evening?" "It's not only that they haven't tipped me, sir." replied the attendant sadly, lbut somebody has taken the shilling that I put on the tray for a decoy."
