Control Warbles Have More Beef Millions of fifth columnists in the form of • warble fly grubs are being harbored on Canadian farms. The amount of beef which these fifth col- runnists sabotage each year would, if saved, materially assist in overcom- ing the current beef shortage. In fact, it has been estimated in the United States that the vitally needed increase in beef in • that country could be produced without an in- crease in the number of cattle, and without additional feed,if all of the Cattle, grubs were .removed from the herds, states the Division of Entomo- logy, Dominion Department' of Agri- culture. Running of cattle is caused by the heel or warble fly in spring and early summer when attaching its eggs on the hair of the animals' legs.' The ' younger stages of this fly, the warble or cattle grub, work their way through the body tissues of the ani- mal during the late summer and win- ter. The activities of both fly and grubs greatly retard increase in weight and finish of beef cattle. Av- erage losses are estimated to be in the neighborhood of ten per cent, an amount which cuts severely into the farmer's profits. In addition, the most valuable parts of the hide are seriously dam- aged by the emerging warbles. This results in the loss of much of the best grade of leather badly needed in the manufacture of boots for the armed forces. It is time to treat cattle for the warbles and farmers would be well advised to be prepared to assist the war effort and increase their income by eliminating these saboteurs from the herd.' A supply of warble powder should be obtained so as to be ready to ap- ply at the time recommended by the local agricultural authorities.

Trapped Sy Tree — There was a near tragedy in Ash- field township recently when Roder- ick MacGregor, well known farmer residing three miles north of Rintail, lay for three hours in the snow in below -zero weather, iris feet caught fast under a fallen tree. Only the timely arrival of his brother Fred saved him from death from exposure. He was taken to Alexandra Hospital at Goderich. He was trimming a rather large branch from a fallen tree when the branch unexpectedly snapped and the tree rolled a part turn, imprisoning both of his feet. Rory did not become panicky. He twisted and turned trying 'to extri- cate himself and slid succeed in free- ing his left foot. At intervals he call- ed for help at the top of his voice. When he did not come home for din- ner, his brother Fred started for the bush at 1.30 p.rn, He got there as fast as he could, but ou arrival found he could not do much. To release his brother was too big a job for one man, so he hurried back to telephone neighbors, who came with a horse and sleigh, It was only a few minutes before the injured roan was freed. He was so' hoarse he could scarcely talk above a whisper. Both feet and shins were badly lacerated and bruised, and one foot was frozen half -way to the ankle, the circulation having been cut off by the weight of the tree, Luckily the man wore a pair of woollen gloves under his .leather mitts and his hands were not frost-bitten. Cattle Shipments — Owing to the almost impassable condition of the roads, shipments of fat cattle from Goderich to Toronto have been negligible in recent weeks. Sonic local butchers have even found it difficult to get delivery to Goderich and have been importing beef from Toronto packing houses. As soon as the township roads are cleated up heavy shipments are expected froth Huron county, William Young and Reg.
