CORN BORER DAMAGE IN HYBRID CORN Since the introduction of hybrid corn into the corn growing areas of Ontario, the loss through corn borer damage has been greatly .reduced, This observation has led to the wrong belief that hybrid corn is re- sistant to corn borer, and conse- quently the need for borer control measures .are no longer necessary. Both of these ideas ai8e incorrect, Says G. F. H, Buckley, Dominion Ex- perimental Station,' Barrow, Ont. The corn hybrids which are com- monly ,grown : today are not resist- ant to the borer. It is true that be- cause of its sturdier stalks the hy- brid can hold more borers in the stalk than the old corn varieties be- fore breaking occurs, But that is not resistance.' If the borer infestation is severe enough the hybrids will break over. Plant breeders in Canada and the United States are working hard on this problem but as yet no re- sistant hybrids are in production. Until such hybrids are developed there. will always be the threat of borer damage to the crop and the se- verity of the damage will be depend- ent upon the degree of borer infest- ation. For the past two or three years the corn borer control measures have been less rigid. During the same years there has been an in- crease in the number of borers pre- sent. In 1946 borers were at work in the corn fields of Southwestern Ont- ario during the early part of July. It is -too soon to say how much dam- age may be expected. Fortunately over 95 per cent of the corn acreage is planted to hybrids which will with- stand light to moderate attacks of the borer. Nevertheless, if the re- commended measures for corn borer control are not more rigidly fol- lowed the borer infestation will soon be too great for • even the hybrids to withstand. A good job of turning under old corn stalks and stubble before June 1st is especially import- ant and will do much to reduce the numbers of the insect in the current year. WHEAT STOCKS LOW IN ALL COUNTRIES At the beginning of the 1946-4'T crop year, wheat producing countries in the Northern Hemisphere are attempting to appraise the supply and demand situation in the world of wheat for the next twelve months. On the credit side, states the Monthly Review of. the Wheat Situa- tion there is a significant improve- ment in the European crops as com- pared with •a year ago. It is reported that some countries on the Continent are anticipating an increase in their bread -grain production, sufficient to make them more nearly self-sustain- ing, while others, which have been forced to import grain during the past two years, may be able to re- turn to a limited export position - The United States is estimated to be harvesting an all-time record wheat crop, while the present Canadian prospects appear very favourable, In Argentina, soil conditions are re- ported to be excellent for the seed- ing of grain,, and Australia is thought to be increasing her wheat acreage this year. On the debit side, one of the Ma- jor items is the extremely small world wheat stocks available at the present trine. On July 1, 1946, these stocks were estimated to be the an -tallest since 1937 and only about one-fourth as large as the year-end carry-over in the period 1941 to 1944. While the European harvest appears to be somewhat better than a year earlier, the output is expect- ed to be only about 90 per cent of the pre-war level, because acreage is below pre-war and yields are likely to be reduced by shortage of fertil- izers and facilities, In the Far East, conditions have not been generally favourable for planting the 1946-47 crops. Although above-average crops for winter grains are being harvest- ed in North China and favorable con- ditione are aiding the sowing of summer grains, drought in southern China has delayed the planting of rice and other crops. In Eastern In- dia, heavy rains have hampered nor- mal planting operations, while sum- mer rainfall had not begun in south- ern India in early June. After placing these credit and debit, factors in the balance, and assuming that present crop produc- ing conditions continue until harvest it would appear, says the Review, that, although the world's. 1946-47 food production will be somewhat larger than that of 1945-46, it will be definitely below pre-war levels. Careful nee of all foodstuffs will have to be continued during the ap- proaching season in order to avoid a critical world food shortage before the 1947 harvest. CROMARTY The death occurred Sept. 22 after a prolonged illness at St. Mary's 'Hospi- tal, Niagara Falls, N.Y., of Miss Agnes Ann Park. Among the first of the gra- duates of the Harper Hospital Train- ing ° School, Detroit, Mich., Miss Park served all her working years as a pro- fessional nurse,'retiring 16 years ago to Niagara Falls, N.Y. A daughter of, the late Mi. aneMrs. James Park of Cromarty, where she was born, Oct. 24, 1869, Miss Park is survived by two brothers, Norman of Mitchell, and Janes of Toronto. The funeral service was held at the home of her brother, Norman Park, Mitchell, conducted by Rev, A. H. Johnston. Interment was in Cromarty cemetery. Want and For Sale Ads., 1 week 25e. Miss Jessie Grainger Honored Clinton Legion Hall was the scene of a very pleasant gathering when about 40 members of the nursing pro- fession, gathered to honor Miss Jessie Grainger.

To Cut Out Hilt. on Colborne Twp Road The Huron County road commission will begin shortly cutting oat a hill on. the road on the 8th concession of Colborne between Carlow and Auburn. The hill has an elevation of 100 fee above the level land. It will require a seventeen -foot cut to straighten the road, County Engineer R. Patterson stated. OATS FOR PASTURE During the past ten years it has Autumn Tea been proved at the Division of For- age Plants, Experimental Farms Service,that oats are among the most important species for summer pasture in Eastern Ontario, Because of that fact, a large number of var- ieties and strains of oats are tested for that purpose every year. The main characteristics considered are early' growth, leafiness, recovery after grazing or mowing, and total annual production. The Roxton and Ripon varieties of oats were out- standing in the production of past - ure.
