Flying Insect Hunters Officers, ..of the. Dominion' Entom ological Branch have learned how to. dust forests by airplane for the ex- tirpation of forestinsect pests, and when financial conditions become. more favorable, ariplane dusting may be employed to protect the most val- uable stands of timber. During the; last year forest insects caused exten- sive losses in both eastern and west ern forests. Serious injury occurred to western yellow pine in southern British Columbia, to eastern white spruce' in the Gaspe Peninsula, to eastern larch throughout the Mari- time Provinces, southern Quebec and eastern Ontario; also to white, yel- low and grey birch in the last nam- ed district. It has been determined that the saw -fly which caused much damage succumbs readily to calcium arsenate' and for that reason dusting by airplane is most efficacious. In the Prairie Provinces, a satisfactory control has been evolved for the spruce spider mite and the pine leaf scale, The recent dry years have left the shade trees of the prairies in a weakened condition and a special ef- fort is being made to encourage far- mers to protect their trees from the ravages of insect pests, notably the willow leaf beetle and the :caragana blister beetle. Railway Line Takes a Stretch in Heat Due to expansion, the lines of the Canadian National Railways are sev- eral utiles longer in summer than they are in winter. The total track- age of the system is 23,700 miles long and it has been calculated that if. there were an even summer temper- ature of 90 degrees throughout the territory served by the Railway, the line would be 14 miles Langer than what the track would measure if there were an even winter tempera- ture of zero.
