We in this surrounding received little harm from it all, compared with some other fields where homes were demolished by high and destructive winds and where water outlets were plugged from heavy rainfalls, causing the water to back miles in -land making it necessary for inhabitants to eva- cuate their homes. Many of us have not suffered to that point. It has delayed the farm work to some extent but with little or no crop loss, as it had not been planted. The forty days of wet weather cooked for, for those who believe in the Good Friday sign, are co- ming to an end and brighter days are ahead, Farm plans will have to be re-established as it is too late for grain planting. Farmers will find a way out of this seed- ing delay; they will add acreage to late crops such as buckwheat, or will perhaps increase their bean acreage. The whole change may prove beneficial to them. It is true the change may add to their work, but considering it all it may add to their income. After Ascension Day we are looking for the weather to adjust itself again to greet us with sun- ny days; at least this is the gen- eral opinion of many. Let not the recent rains lower your spirit, for there might be something brewing in the world to- day much worse.

THEY'RE AHEAD EVERY STEP OF THE WAY Apple Growers May Suffer Losses Due To Scab Fungus Apple growers are faced with the worst threat of scab since the middle 1940's. Reason — six wet days In a row during the second week in May made ideal condi- tions for the scab fungus to infect the wet Ieaves and blossoms. So warns C. B. Kelly, Ontario Department of Agriculture bota- nist. "Some growers never get a protective spray on the trees be- fore the rains started and the ground was too soft to put on a spray during the rain. These sprays would have either preven- ted or checked infection." The scab fungus causes black spots to form on the apple, says Kelly. Scabby apples are not sale- able — very little scab is per- mitted even in the Iowest grade of apples. Is it too late to prevent fur- ther infestation? "Not so," says the botanist. "But the grower will have to spray very carefully from now on to prevent the spread of the fungus," Use protective sprays before the rain starts, he suggests. 'Use eradicants if you doubt that you got good protection. "The most ef- fective eradieants are organic mer- cury compounds. They will check the growth of the scab infections that have occurred during the previous 72 hours," he states. Era- dicants must be used if leaves have folded since the last spray. These new leaves will be unpro- tected. • PRODUCING PERIOD GROWING PERIOD CHICK STARTER STARTING PERIOD M0 6, PHONE 154 ZURICH IT'S A "HIGH EFFICIENCY" FEED DEITZ and SON 1 Spring Paint -Up Buy The Best In Outside White SHE:RWIN-WILLIk r.S ONE- COAT REPAINT WHITE See Our Wide Selection Of Colours In House Paints All New Colours To Choose From We Also Have KEM-GLO - SUPER KEM TONE THE BEST NAME IN INTERIOR FINISHES VISIT OUR STORE FOR A REAL BUY IN POWER LAWN MOWERS Alt Popular Makes Stade & Weido Hardware "PLUMBING HEATING * TINSMITHING" PHONE 'I2 _ .. — ZURICH THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1960 Many Restrictions In Retailing Of Maple Syrup Persons buying maple syrup any- where, and particularly at their own doors from house-to-house peddlers, should be wary of unla- belled or mislabelled products and of bargain prices, warns F. R. Arm- strong, fruit and vegetable divis- ion, Canada Department of Agri- culture. Maple suyrup, he says, is re- quired by law to carry on the la- bel the words "Maple Syrup", the packer's name, the packer's ad- dress, and the net weight of the contents of the container. In the average neighbourhood store all maple products will pro- bably be found to be properly la- belled but housewives buying from strangers will be well advised to watch the labelling carefully and above all, to make sure of the identity of the vendor. His driv- er's licence and his car licence constitute excellent and ready means of identification and if his business is legitimate he will un- derstand and appreciate of being asked to produce them. If, for any reason he fails to do so, the house- wife should look elsewhere for her maple products. DAILY SERVICE London and Toronto TO ZURICH DISTRICT Inquiry at any local food stores will indicate that good maple syr- up and maple sugar are high-pric- ed food items. The housewife will do well to remember this fact when considering offerings at bar- gain prices. Much imitation maple syrup is sold each spring under the disguise of pure maple syr- up and a little care on the part of the consumers will do a great deal to discourage this fraudu- lent practice, Summing up, Mr. Armstrong says — Know your supplier or at least insist on identification. Look at the label to see what you are buying. Look askance at bargain prices.
