Well maintained production in summer un- der present conditions call be made • • more profitable than in winter. It is possible to . maintain ca 50-60 per cent production in summer -.as well as in winter. When conditions are right, a ;ren can ' lay all the year round. Many • of the principles of adequate housing apply equally in summer and winter. Points to 'be observed in summer production are: (1) the comfort, con- tentment and proper feeding of the birds; (2) take out. the windows, op- en the cjoors,'and make the poultry house as cool and airy as possible; (3) keep the house and nests clean, free from lice. and mites; (4) ample supply supply of drinking water. Never let the water fountains go dry. Hens suffer intensely from lack of water on a hot day; `(5) lots of green feed —the great conditioner, and (6) a good dust bath. The birds do like to dust themselves. * * *, During the pasture season, bur- , docks arid plants of a similar nature (should' be removed from sheep pas- tures. This will help in some measure to prevent reject wool. Reviews Control Feedstuffs in War In his . address on "Quality. Control In Feeding Stuffs," to the recent an- naal convention of Canadian-•- Feed Manufacturers' Association, W. R. "White, Associate Chief; Plant Pro- ducts Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, gave a review of live stock feeding stuffs control measures in peace ,and war, with a glimpse in- to the future. Any control to be ef- fective and serviceable,' 'said Mr. ''White, must keep 'abreast, but should be careful 'not to get ahead; of sci- . entitle developments in the' field, of animal nutrition. In a democratic country, public demand would see that this.. was done within reasonable limits. .

These stand- ards were a valuable guide in hand- ling registrations under. the Feeding Stuffs Act. Some modification would no doubt be warranted. For example the present "limitation on phosphorus in hog mineral might be raised. It *as -imposed to,•eonserve limited sup- plies for more urgently n"eeded.: pur- poses. The mineral feed Order had drawn .a much needed line between true mineral feeds and so-called .con- ditioners and specifics. It had forced many products off the fence into one or other of these categories. Continuation of some of the con- trols on the number of brands of feed that any manufacturermight produce for any given purpose merit- ed careful consideration. In pre-war times there was unnecessary duplica- tion arising from price competition 'rattier than feeding 'needs. -.. In the. frityre, whatever feed qual- ity control measures were put ,into effect, the initiative and skill of the feed manufacturers would still re- main the most important factors in the production of quality feeds. Control Imported Cabbage Worm Measures for the control of cab- bage worms .should be commenced at once as soon as injury to cabbage and . cauliflowers becomes evident. These insects, known as the import- ed cabbage worms, are the velvety - green caterpillars which eat large cir- cular holes in the .leaves of the plants and frequently -bete into the centre of the cabbage heads. Dusting with arsenate of lead and hydrated lime is the most widely 'recommended,, says Alan G. Dustan, Division. of Entomol- ogy, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. One part of the arsenate of lead should be mixed with six parts of hydrated lime and dusted on the plants when the leaves are wet with dew in the early morning or"late in the evening. Particular attention should be paid to the central portion of the cabbages ,and cauliflowers because they are the parts the insects like most.; Two or three applications should be made as needed, care being taken to apply the dust immediately feeding becomes apparent. Due to the waxy nature of the leaves, spraying has not given satisfactory results. If „the plants are to he treated shortly before being marketed, fresh. derris powder should be used as a, dust. It is not poisonous to human beings, and may be bought at local seed .houses. The remedies recom- mended for cabbage worms are also SWEETEN TO TASTE The keeping qualities of fruit cannel!- without sugar are just as good as those canned with sugar.

It includes 25,000 universal carries, now rolling off the assembly lines at more than 725 a month; 6;000 armour- ed vehicles; and 3,500 tanks and self- propelled gunmounts. addition, Canada Canada has agreed, under~ Mutual Aid to make 2,000 flat cars for Russia, and .we've already rolled: 40,000 tons of rails for the Soviet Republic.- We epublic.We finished 145 locomotives for India and ' other equipment in .. ..huge amounts.

Reversing the usual order, Byrne Hope,Sanders, director of Wartime Priceand Trade Board's Consumer Branch, is asking the Canadian house- wife to help her with 'a problem. . It has to do with forequarters of beef. For some timenow women have been buying sirloia steaks and porterhouse roasts,• largely neglecting the cheap cuts in the forequarters. • As a res - stilt there is ..real danger that fore- quarter cuts will- become a glut on the market, representing a heavy loss of good, edible food. To prevent such waste, Miss Sanders urges wo- men to balance their, purchases alter- nating between the hind and fore- quarter cuts. It's well to remember,. too, that it's not only• patriotic but thrifty, because there is a big saving in the ,purchase, of front cuts. • The R.C.A.F. recently instituted a • effective in combating other resiruc- tive insects which damage cabbages and cauliflowers, such as the cabbage looper and the diamend-back moth. Engine Wear Probably 70 per cent of the wear of gasoline and oil engine occurs during the warming up period of no lubrication. The time varies with the engines and the temperature of the oil when starting from 10,000 to 50,- 000 crank 'revolutions. This may mean from 10 to 30 minutes for auto- mobiles and 10 to 50 minutes for tractors. Pasteurize Milk in Summer Cottages As a health measure summer, cot- tagers' and other residents in small districts where commercially pasteur- ized'milk, is not readily available are advised by the Division of Dairy Research, Dominion Department of Agriculture, to make their milk sup- ply safe by home pasteurization. The only equipment required to do this job is an aluminum double boiler and a floating dairy thermometer. ' The latter may be ' purchased at many hardware stores and from dairy sup- ply houses. The procedure is as follows: Half fill the lower part of the double boil- er with water, and put the milk in the upper half. A boiler of 2% quarts capacity will be required to pasteur- ize, two quarts of milk. Place the ther- mometer in the milk and the double boiler on the stove. Examine the thermometer from time to time until it registers a temperature of 140 degrees F. Then turn down the heat slightly because the water will be hot enough to bring the temperatureerature of the milk up to the desired 145 or 150 degrees. Maintain this . tempera- ture for 30 minutes. Thenthe milk should be immediately covered up and cooled to 50 degrees or below. In cold weather this can be done by setting the vessel containing the milk in cold water, but in summer time a mixture of ice and Water is necessary. Place the cooled Intik in a'refrigerator or in a cool cellar or cooling pit. The milk ,should be used within 24 hours for infant feeding and within 48 hours for adults. Milk to be pasteurized should be fresh. •Care in thoroughly cleaning the utensils is important. Let the farmer for evermore be honored in his calling, for they who labor in the earth are the chosen peof le of God. ---Jefferson.

The boys need it, and we believe Cana- dians will continue to see they get it. * * e: The production of crops in Canada is largely a battle with weeds. The 'National Weed Committee has got it down to actual figures. Many folks accept lamb's quarters and pigweed as a matter of course, but it is inter- esting to know, that while oats re- quire 597 pounds of water to make. one pound of dry matter, one pound of lamb's quarters uses up 801 pounds of water. The average loss to grain crops due to mustard over a period of five years was 12.7 per cent. Na- tural causes has made for a tempor- ary reduction in weed infestation in various places but chances of, re -in- festation, are always present. Preva- lence of grasshoppers has resulted in less growth and vigour lof sow thistle. Dry seasons brought less trouble with .wild oats, and so' on. But farmers must never stop the battle against weeds. Wartime puts the- accept‘, on the increasing,, number of people needed to conduct government services. In- formation tabled in the House • of Commons shows that as of March; 1944, employees in 'the government service totalled 163,548 as against' 156,355 just a year before that date. This is an increase of 7,193. Arrangements by which American and Canadian farmers can help each other harvest their crops have been completed for the 'third year in suc- cession. Canadian 'threshing outfits may go across the border to the Unit- ed States until September 15th, while United_ States machines and crews may enter' Canada when they are needed, the limit of their stay; how- ever, being December 31st. 'The spruce budworm• is: an insect already said to have destroyed half much of the spruce. Losses are estimated at tens of millions of dol- lars. In a recent experiment the United States Department of agricul- ture showed neighborly co-operation by having; a -.biplane spray a •-small section of Ontarioforests with. new insecticides from which great results are expected. The -United States sup plied the .plane, the .pilot and the spray material which was deposited by the biplane flying at 80 miles an hour, from as low as 25 feet above the ' tops of infested spruce and bal sam trees.
