NATIONAL CLUB WEEK JUNIOR FARM CLUBS With the approach of the fall sea- son, members of boys' and girls' farm clubs in all parts of the Domin- ion are preparing for their local achievement days, district amine- i tions and provincial competitions through which teams are selected to participate in the annual national club week, to be held during the week beginning November 18th. Some district interclub contests have already been held. The national club event is conducted annually by ; the Canadian Council on Boys' and Girls' Club Work. The club mem- bers taking part, provincial cham- pions in various club projects, will meet at Toronto on November 13th, Oral examinations will he conducted at Toronto, judging contests at the i Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph and after the competitions ther will be a program of sight-seeing and ed- ucational features, concluding with a visit to Ottawa, It is expected that 32 or 33 teams of two members each, will attend national club week. This annual event is made possible by the contributions of a number of business organizations and associa tions which have joined with the Do- minion rind Provincial Departments of Agriculture as members of the Canadian Council, on Boys' and ,Girls' Club Work. Membership in boys' and girls' farm clubs has decreased to some extent in the past four years, as a result of wartime conditions, but ex- pansion is anticipated in the near future. A great deal of thought is being given to the further develop- ment and improvement of junior farm club programs. SWINE FEVER NOT PREVALENT IN CANADA The importance of swine fever or hog cholera is not so great in Cana- da as in many other countries of the world, states the arcual report of the Science Service, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. This is due to the measures which have been adopted in the past for deal- ing with outbreaks. By destroying affected animals, reservoirs of virus have been reproved. In other coun- tries where this policy is not par - stied, a system of vaccination has been carried on and in recent years an inactivated virus has been used as vaccine. This system of vaccination is car- ried out in the United States, and the importation of a considerable amount of American pork raised question of whether vaccinated ani- mals might become carriers and in- troduce virus into Canada through the medium of pork. From the study it was fount( that no vaccine avail- able in Canada was capable of con- ferring an appreciable degree of im- munity on Canadian pigs. The dis- covery, however, has led to a large co-operative experiment undertaken by the Division of. Animal Pathology and the United Satates Bureau of Ani mal Industry.

'CURBING MICE IN THE ORCHARD Tree losses from mice injury have been 'higher' than usual particularly in central Canada this year. Injury from mice generally occurs in No- vember and again in March. Con- trol measures should, .therefore, be begun previous to November and March, says D. S. Blair, Division of Horticulture, Central experirnental Perin, Ottawa. Clean cultivation will do more to discourage mice than any other method of control because without grasses, sedges and other vegetation upon which to feed, the mice will leave an orchard. If the orchard is under the clean cultivation system of culture, there is little clanger of injury from mice.' If the trees are growing in a permanent sod certain precautions must be exercised, The removal of the sod for a width of 1/ feet around the trunk before late September, is effective. It is best to Till the trench caused by the removal of the sod with coarse sand, cinders or crushed stone to prevent the grass from growing up again and to act as a permanent protector. A small mound of soil or coal ashes packed to a depth of :rix inches around the trunk of the tree, when properly done, will often prevent in- jury and even snow tramped firmly around the trunk after each snow fall has been effective as it prevents the mice from working in beneath the snow. For young trees wire guards give good protection against mise injury. The wire guard should be one-quart- er inch mesh. galvanized, eighteen inches wide and from eighteen to twenty-four inches high. Rolls of wire of desired height may be pur- chased and cut to proper width or the guards ready for use may be bought from a wire manufacturer. The bottom of the guard should be inserted into the ground to a depth of from two to three inches to pre- vent the mice tunnelling under the barrier. Each fall the wire guards should be checked because a few may have been disturbed during the summer. The wire protector will give protection to a young tree for seven. or eight years, following. which it can be removed and usedon younger trees. Supplementary to the methods at - ready mentioned, an annual clean-up of the mice by use of poison baits should be a regular orchard opera- tion. If there are not too many fallen apples in the orchard in late fall, probably the most efficient poisin bait is the apple containing poison, ,However, if drops are plenti- ful and the temperature is below freezing, grain baits are likely to prove more attractive to mice. The poisons used in poison baits are either strychnine, zinc phosphide or white arsenic. Zine phosphide when used in natural form is not as attractive as when mixed with sac- charine, but to get an effective mix the two have to be put through a micronizing process, The U. S, A. Fish and Wild Life Department have a process for mixing , this material and they are now offering it for sale to growers in the United States. This poison is being handled by local co-operators and spray dealers in Canada and sold under the name of United Sates Fish and Wild Life Roclenticide, The following baits have been very effective at Ottawa: Apple bait treated with United States Fish and Wild Life Rodenticide; The bait is prepared as follows: cut up good firm apples into half- inch cubes and dust these evenly with the rodenticide, which is sup- plied in a shaker -top can, which con- tains ottains enough for ten quarts of bait. The bait should be stirred until an even light coating is obtained. The use of one level teaspoonful per quart of cut bait is the proper amount. The mixing of the poison with the apple bait must be done with extreme caution and at no time should the hands come in contact with the poison. All utensils used should be thoroughly washed after preparation is completed. A honey pail is a convenient means of carry' • DEAD AND DISABLED ANIMALS REMOVED PROMPTLY PHONE COLLECT — SEAFORTH 15, EXETER 235 DARLING & CO. OF CAMADA, LTD. (Essential War IudustrY) ing the bait in the orchard. The operation of placing the bait should be carried out in a systematic way by following up each row of trees, lifting the mulch et intervals, and examining the ground underneath carefully for mouse trails. When trails or runways are found, a cube of bait is placed in it by means of a long handled fork or a steel wire sharpened at one end with a loop bol- a handle at the other end., Care is taken to place the mulch back over the trail after the bait is placed. The number of placements about a tree depends entirely on the number of trails Or the infestation. If the mouse population is high, at least four baits are placed per tree. Where possible it is preferable to place ,the bait early in the day, since the afternoon is the most active part of the day for field mice. Grain bait treated with Strychnine: Mix 1 level tablespoonful of laundry starch in VI teacup of cold water; stir this into pint of boil- ing water to make a clear paste. Mix 1 ounce strychnine sulphate (not strychnine alkaloid) with one ounce of baking soda and stir this into the hot starch paste to make a smooth creamy mass free from lumps. Stir in a 3!r pint of heavy corn syrup and 1 tablespoonful of glycerine or liquid petrolatum. When' this is well mixed pour it over 8 quarts of rolled oats from which the fine particles have been screened out. Mix thoroughly until all the Lumps are broken up' and the Poison is thoroughly mixed with the rolled oats. Some growers find difficulty in getting a thorough mixture with the above. Wheat, although not as palat- able to the price as rolled oats, may be substituted, using 12 pounds. Mix thoroughly until every grain 15 coated, THE SUGGESTION BOX Mr. C. M. says: To protect seed potatoes against blight soak them for one hour before planting in a solution of one gallon of water and 2 tsps. of Copper H. Mrs. K. 0. says: Never cool boiled meat in the broth. Remove as soon as it is cooked; cool and store meat broth separately. Mrs. C. A. says: Any burned food stuck to enamelware should be soak- ed off the utensil, but never scraped. Javel water helps a lot. A. A. says: Watercress leaves are very tender. If stored with other vegetables they crush and break. Watercress should be washed and stored in a closed sealer in the elec- tric refrigerator.

So far we've prevented inflation and avoided deflation. It's not been just good luck. Your support—everybody's support --of price ceilings, rationing and other controls alone has made it possible. BUT NOW COMES THE REAL TESTING TiME. The danger of inflation and its black shadow, deflation, will last as long as goods are scarce and insufficient to meet demands. With the war over and plenty of money in our pockets it's easy to overlook the danger. It's easy to think that paying just a little more to get something we want is unimportant now. It's easy to think that what you do can't hurt—and to forget that careless, extravagant buying is a sure way to help a general rise in prices. That's how inflation gets going. BUT INFLATION IS ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY DEFLATION: And deflation brings cancelled orders, bankrupt businesses, mortgage foreclosures, unemployment and distress—distress you can't avoid. Until industry gets back to normal, price ceilings, rationing and other controls are our safeguard. 604. Keep on watching your buying. Don't rush to buy scarce goods. Keep on saving your money. Put if into Victory bonds and War Savings certificates.. Keep on supporting wage and price controls, and rationing.
