headquarters today. This betterment
in net was effected despite a heavy
drop in the gross receipts,
Gross revenues in June were $12,-
437,074, a decrease of $2,799,154, or
18.37 per cent. from the gross rev-
enues of June 1931. Operating ex-
penses, however, were cut by $4,-
132,015 or 26.93 per cent. The result
was that the railway had net rev-
enues for the month of $1,227,856 as
compared with a net revenue deficit
in June 1931 of $105,005, a better-
ment of $1,332,861. The operating
ratio for June 1982 was 90.13 per
cent., as against 100.69 per cent. in
June of last year.
For the first half of 1932 the Can-
adian National had gross revenues
of $70,187,818, a decrease of $18,-
087,808 or 20,49 per cent., as com-
pared with the first six months of

the same period of 1931.
THE ALL YEAR
HOG CABIN
(Experimental Farms Note)
With lowered prices for pork pro-
ducts, it is essential to keep prodtic»
tion. costs correspondingly low in or-
der to show a profit at the end of
the year's operation. It is particu-
lary important to expend as little as
possible on overhead charges such
as buildings and . equipment from
which no direct revenues will be re-
ceived.
Where old farm buildings or barn
space is available, the housing prob-
lem with swine is not a serious one.
Some swine breeders, however, have
to provide accotnmodatic]ti for their
swine, and these are advised of the
successful use of -the all year hog
cabin at the Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa.
Under the rather extreme climatic
conditions which prevail at Ottawa,
the swine- breeding stock is housed
throughout the year in cabins, with
the exception of two months twice
a year when the sows farrow and
nurse their litters in the main swine
barn. In the winter, the sows are
fed liberally and the cabins are well
bedded with dry straw, In the
spring, the cabins are hauled to the
pasture and with the side flaps rais-
ed up, provide excellent shelter and
shade during the summer months.
The all year hog cabin is a cheap
shelter constructed of one ply boards
and is built on skids to provide ease
of moving. Further retails and plans
for building the all year hog cabin
can be procured free of charge upon
application to the Division of Ani-
mal Husbandry, Central Experiment-
al Farm, Ottawa.
MOLASSES FOR
BEEF STEERS
A new experiment being tried out
by the Dominion Experimental Sta-
tion at. Lennoxville, Quebec, is the
use of cane molasses in the ration
given beef cattle.
In his report for the first year of
the test (1931) the Sttperiyrytendent at
Lennoxville states that cat the fed 8 ,
per cent. of molasses in the meal t
mixture made the best gains and
shows, a daily gain of slightly over
one-quarter of a pound more than.
the check lot, and at a lower cost
per pound of gain by 1.25 tents.

Certain conclusions may be arrived
at from a study of the cattle data
presented in the twelfth report on
the Origin and Quality of Commer-1
cial Live Stock Marketed in Canada
in 1981, issued by the Dominion I
Live Stock Branch. Intentions to in -I
crease production are indicated, not
so much in the fact that store cattle
purchases were some 10,000 more
than in the previous year and the
heaviest since 1928, but more be-
cause of a very inarked . curtailment
to the liquidation of caws and heif-
ers. Despite an increase sale over
the previous year of some 23,400
cattle of all kinds, there was a dc -
crease in the number of cows and
heifers of 33,655 head, or of approx-
mately six per cent.

THE RELATION
OF WEATHER TO
PLANT DISEASES
0
(Experimental Farms Note)
We learn from reference to liter-
ature that plant diseases have been
known to man since the dawn of
history. In the efforts to explain
scourges which befell crops, possib-
ly the nearest approach to accuracy
was in attributing various forms of
injury to climatic or weather condi-
tions. There'was more truth in this
.elief than in any of the countless
evil influences to which were ascrib-
ed the diseases of cultivated plants;
for just as climate is an ilnportant
factor governing the existence 'and
distribution of higher animals and
plants, so it is important in the life
of lower animals • and plants recog-
nized as plant pests. All notions re-
garding plant diseases were inspired
by superstition rather than by scien-
tific facts; yet it is to the credit of
the ancient people that such deduc-
tions were based upon the observa-
tion that outbreaks of disease were
accompanied by certain weather con-
ditions. It was oeiy in comparative-
ly recent times that scientists discov-
ered that certain micro-organisins
were responsible for disease. Then,
as 'the science of plant pathology
grew, it seas realized that in certain
years some diseases were 'conspicu-
ously severe and. others, very mild or
perhaps entirely absent; and the dir-
ect opposite occurred when different
weather conditions prevailed.
In recent years weather and dis-
ease relationships have ave beer

ing a problem which althought ex-
ceedingly
-
ceedingly important, is still in its in-
fancy. The ultimate goal is a system
of weather forecasting which will'
be sufficiently reliable to enable the
plant pathologist to foretell out-
breaks of plant diseases. Fruit grow-•
ers, gardeners, and farmers inform-
ed from this source would be able
to take the necessary measures to
prevent crop injury through disease.
outbreaks.
In the literature on this subject,.
there are numerus references to the
relationships between weather condi-
tions and plant diseases. In Canada
at the various laboratories of the
Division of Botany, some important
advances have been made in the
study of the factors which comprise
"weather", the most important being -
recognized as temperature, humidity
and precipitation, wind and light.
For example primary infection with
the fungus causing potato blight is
dependent upon comparatively cool
weather and once the disease has
started to develop warm weather is
essential for an epidemic; yet execs-'
sively hot weather arrests its pro-
gress. Powdery scab of potatoes is
known to be a cool weather disease
as it is common only during years
that are cool and wet. Common scab
on the other hand, is a hot weather
disease. As a result of carefully or-
ganized research, information of
great value has been _gathered
throughout Canada in connection
with stem rust of grain, and, among
other things, it would seem that the
wind carfies the rust spores into
Canada from the more southerly
wheat growing areas. Finally, with
the aicl of aeroplanes equipped with
spore traps it was learned that rainy .
weather cleared the air of these
spores, since only a very few spores
were trapped in wet weather.
