SMITH (ARTICLE No. 15 - There are two groups of garden insect enemies—those that eat holes in the foliage and those that suck out the juices. For the first -named, poison is usually applied. while the stickers are attac'kecl with a burp- ing spray which penetrates. Often when both are present, a combin- ation of poison and something that burns, such as lime sulphur and ar- senate, give the best results. The damage from the biting insects Is usually quite apparent but the pres- ence of the other kind is only shown at first by a wilting or withering of the foliage. For sunning pests, chief of which are the aphids or plant lice, spray with whale oil soap, a quarter pound of soap to a gallon and a half of water; nicotine sul- phate, or "Black 'Leaf 40" or any other repellent secured from a relia- ble seed store. Mildew or Other Fungus When fungus attacks the . plants. the foliage usually turns yellow or brown. or white spots like mildew cover the leaves. Fungus is most common in warm, murky weather, Spraying with Bordeaux 14iixture or dusting with specially finely ground sulphur is advised. Sulphur dust will also protect hollyhocks and phlox from rust, if applied when the dis- ease first shows itself. An ordinary tin can with the top perforated like a salt shaker snakes a good duster. Slow Growth Disastrous to Certain Vegetables Tender vegetables are those which have been grown quickly. Especial- ly with such things as radish, car- rots and beets is slow growth dis- astrous' as the roots become woody and filled with objectionable fibre. But this rule also applies to every- thing used for salads. On this ac- count experts advise pushing growth with frequent cultivation and ap- • plications of a good chemical fer- tilizer. This should be carried out according to proper directions. New Industry Is Developed Visit Paid by Government Of- ficial to Mari Beds ROCKTON.—John. M. Casey, in- spector of the federal department of mines at Ottawa, paid a visit to the new plant and mine of the Beverly Holdings corporation in Beverly swamp, near the village of Westover, and expressed himself as surprised at the development of the new fer- tilizer industry which was estab- lished under direction of A. Anrap, general manager, who was a former officer of the mines department. Much Work Done Over one mile of poles has been erected through the swamp to carry the Hydro to the plant and nearly a mile of narrow gauge railway has been laid to carry the constituents to the mixing mill. Not all of Beverly swamp, com- prising several thousand acres, con- tains the organic matter that will go to make up the formula of the fertilizer.

DMce that in no other part of the town- ship has the same formation as that comprising an area of 144 acres been found. While all parts of the swamp may look alike on the surface, it is in the marl lying below •the thick covering of leaf mould. and vegetable matter that the difference occurs. Nearly four feet of black mould cov- ers the marl below, which is about three feet thick and is said to con- tain chemical constituents peculiar to itself. ., It is said that in zio other part of Ontario or Quebec has such a deposit ever been discovered. Gov- ernment officials and others who have been on the ground and had tests made believe that there is a wealth of plant food in the area that only requires development to make it available for agriculture. Prospects For Cattlemen Brig Pz'ospef;ts for the. Canadian catike e raiser seem to be brightening after so many years of stagnation MS; often actual loss. Quite aside f e )1 the British market quotas, seeltid have done their part in restpr,lg something of the old-time acbirkiyty under the Ottawa Agreements, wl}ich to the business, the drop in the American tariff eighteen months, or so ago from three to two cents a pound has greatly stimulated the „ex- port of Canadian live "cattle to that country. That it was practically dead before the change in question ;le proved by the export figures. In 1034 only 6,341 head of cattle and 226 calves crossed the border "southward; in the first quarter of this year 50.- 000 animals have already gone ti0 the United States' markets, 'ti:d those who are watching the ts'#r"e predict that it will reach the 200,090 mark before the end of the year. This is good news indeed. There have been many lean years for the Canadian cattlemen since the days when most Eastern farmers finished a few animals during the winter for early summer shipment and some of them fattened fair sized herds. What with American tariffs, the British slaughtering rules and the naturally small demands of the home market, there was so little init, for the Canadian cattleman that he turned his attention elseyhere The steer from the Eastern stable, wheez- ing along the road to the,, nearest shipping point, has long vanished, but there is now hope that we may see him again. this tine probably in: a truck, moving to the shipping pens on his way overseas or to the Amer- ican abattoirs. And, by the way, what is Quebec doing to get in on this revived mar- ket? Years ago, in the hey -day `of the export of fat cattle. Ontario held the cream of the business. Her breeders did not shrink from paying fancy prices for breeding animals— Shorthorns and Durhams and; the famous beef strains—nor from purg- ing their steadidly improving herds of scrub beasts which , cost as much to keep as the half -ton aristocrats and were worth little at their best. It appears from rural Ontario pa- pers that the farreels and stock raisers there are Wide awake to the gpportunities created by the reviving .markets for our cattle and are going. after them --backed by the Ontario Government—with the least possible delay. Also let is remember, On- tario is seeking a leading place in these markets with fine animals. the descendants of_ fine animals. Is Que- bee doing all it can to get its share of what was once—and bids fair to beagain —a remunerative branch of agriculture? Excellent . Advice Good food and comfortable, clean quarters are essential to happy trav- elling. That is why such emphasis has been laid upon both in recent years in Nova Scotia. Again in 1937, the Provincial Department of High- ways is lending its assistance in this campaign. "Set a Good Table" is the title of an interesting publication now being distributed throughout the province It contains menus and even more valuable, definite ways to prepare distinctive foods for travel- lers. "Our summer visitors are quick to appreciate good service,' but are slow to forget bad," is the front -cover comment.—Halifax Herald. Health Service Mohammed, the founder of the re- ligious cult which numbers more adherents than any other, was not only a religious enthusiast; his at- titdue towards health and the wel- fare of the body clearly indicate that he had a penetrating mind. One of Mohammed's followers, Dinguizli, gives the following quotation from his writings: "The study of the human body shall be given the pref- erence over the study of the religious sciences, . . if it were not for that fine dust which we see floating in the sunbeam, and if it were not for the danger of stagnating waters, Adam's son would live 10 centuries."
