Inspect PotathrFields No* -es the time to inspect potato fields for aphid infestations and to take special precautions not to dis- tribute aphids when roguing diseased plants, say officers of the Divisions of Plant Protectien and Entomology, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The careless handling of the rogued, diseased plants provides an excellent means of distributing disease -carry- ing aphids within the crop. Diseased plants sheuld not be left between rows or carried to -the head- lands and discarded in the fence row. Tbey should be placed in bags, im- mediately upen pulling (paper fertil- izer bags are suitable), and taken en- tirely 'away from the plot and de- stroyed,• so as to avoid aphids being dropped into the field' from che dis- eased stock. Be sure to get the old seed piece when roguing. This will ensure against regrowth apd reinfes- tation of diseased plants. Bloom oh Bird The drY, parched, wrinkled skin of- ten seen in dressed poultry is largely due to poor handling between the farm and the processing plant. Fright, thirst, undue starving before killing and shrinkage during transit destroy the sales appeal that dressed poultry present when the bloom is on the bird. To retain bloom, market poul- try should be carefully lifted from the roosts after dark and preferably shipped at night. They should be given e %normal feeding the night be- fore" and water right up to the time of killing. Olean Houses For Poultry Pay Sanitation is one of the most im- portant factors governing successful poultry production. It is a Waste of time 'and money to grow good, heal- thy chicks out on clean land and lat- er put them into winter quarter'S in a filthy pen, or even just a dirty pen. Well cleaned houses will pay good returns, says M. H. Jenkins, Domin- ion Experimental Farm, Nappan, N.S. The usual time of cleaning the lay- ing house at Nappan is in August or early September. After the older birds have been removed from the laying house, all feed and feeding eq. -dement, roosts, nests and nest boards, dropping boards, as well as the 'litter are removed from the house. A thorough brushing of ceilings, walls and fleors is made to remove all loose. particles of dust -and dirt. Then the walls and Mears are thoroughly .soaked and scrubbed with hot water in which creolln or lye solution has ,been used. This is done with a stiff broom so as to get into the cracks and crevices of the Walls and floors. Following the scrubbing, the whole '1.eiriiiitre all Particles of dirt and All doors and Windows are op- ened in.. order -to ,permit ,‘the pen: -to POO etapi s4, ' 11 g.:,ktR tX?.0 'e4t1{tT7}4: ee klre;' the le^ttex zs:. pnt h Gl z ase •enel fresh litter's ?llt, im t i paeliega a nice, clean Penfor Winter eltierters`foz' the laying &Lock, tether creblixr' Or lye array be used.

Millions Grain Bags Need Fumigating Block buster and other bombs that were uploaded during the war in Europe by the Allied Forces tin Ger- many and countries held by Germany destroyed many grim elevators at ocean and river ports. Since V -E day Canada has been shipping large con- signments of wheat to Europe, but mostly in jute bags, because there were few, if any, elevators to handle the grain in bulk. Many of these bags. were second-hand and had been used previously for the transportation of grain or ,cereal products and thus weee exposed to possible infestation. with certain kinds of insect •pests while empty in storage. In exporting produce susceptible to insect attack, every effort is made by Dominion Governmenat agencies to prevent in- festation which includes the examina- tion of the ships' holds before load- ing by inspectors of the. Dominion Department of Agriculture. For some time past the fumigation of these bags has kept the fumigation plant, operated at Montreal by the Dominion Plant Protection Division, abnormally busy. It is the only plant available in Eastern Canada to • do such work. Aleady about 140,000 bags used for shipping wheat to Eur- ope have been fumigated ata nom- inal charge to the owner. It is' ex- pected that it will be necessary to fumigate 2,000,000 bags during the next few months at the Montreal plant. Fumigation is done in ar' spec- ial vacuum chamber which has an 8,000 bag capacity. The bags are given a three-hour treatment of methyl bromide applied at a 2% pounds per 1,000 cubic a. 28 -inch vacuum at 70 Fahrenheit. This treatment in a 100 per cent mortality.

Declaring that agriculture- more than any other industry is dependent upon the factor of weather, the Fed- eration brief emphasizes that no com- plete weather infoerrnation service de- signed fee the farming industry has ever beee developed in Canada, and that attention should be given to this. Now that wartime restructions on weather reports are no longer neces- sary, there is no reason, states the brief, why such work should be long- er delayed. New techniques of wea- ;eller forecasting developed for use in aerial warfare and the trained Per- sonnel in such service, might well be utilized in peacetime to provide a real service for the farming indestry. The ed_evelopment of more detailed infoZtn- anon for smaller regions than is now used in weather reporting, better ser- vice in tee way of forecasts of wea- ther changes, especially the approach of storms, or the possibility of frosts, and the more frequent broadcasting ef such information by raeio, are amOng the suggestions made in the brief. The Canadian Federation has been advieed that the government in- tends tp, give full consideration to the development of sueb a service.

War Brides Are Showered Following the regular ,meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary to Wingham Legion lest week, a very pleasant time was held when the members of the Auxiliaey presented two English. war brides with a shower. They were Mrs. W. R. Harris and Mrs. H. Hunt and they ,both had come to Canadawn the seine- beet about two months ago. Mrs. 'Harris came directly to Wine - ham, while Mrs. Hunt went to Lon- don. Mrs. C. R. Coultes welcomed them to Canada on behalf of the aux- iliary and presented them with the showers which was made up of many lovely and useful articles. Both the young ladies replied expressing their appreciation of the kindness extend- ed to them and also stating their plea- sure at being in Canada. After the presentation of the showers a social hour was enjoyed and a lunch was served by the members of the social committee. The. eirening came to a close with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."—Winglaam' Advance -Times. Meat Rationing • Canada's proposed second meat rationing program has a ,,different reason for existence than did the first program, according to informa- tion received at the Western On- tario regional office of the Board. The first plan was undertaken "primarily to assure an equitable distribution of supplies." The second plan is being initiated "primarily to reduce domee- tic consumption in order to feed the hungry of Europe." That Europe is hungry is evidenc- ed by statistics made available to Board representatives: Reierring to France it was stated that tlie meat shortage i,s now worse than at any time in the cities. In 1939 the per capita consumPtion Was 96 pounds per person, in 1944-45 it *as 17 pounds. The ration et present is one- tenth of a pound per week, an amount equal to one thin slice of boil- ed ham. Meat brings $10 a pound on. the black markets. Under Nazi occupa- tion France lost two million head of cattle, and the consumption of meat has dropped from pre-war levels as follows: Beef and mutton from 117,- 000 tons to 5,000 tons; pork from 45,- 000 to 16,000 tons; fish' from 51,000 to 21,000 tons; poultry from 22,0000 to less than 2,000. and altthe sugar for canning cOuP00 were Pot Osed, Will I get these W•10 ration :administration has no way of telling whether or net they were us- ed before tbe book was lost, Q.: Our village intende to have a Party foe some returning ex -service- men. Can we get some extra rations of butter and 'sugar? A.: It has been the policy of the Board to refuse such requtests for ad- ditional rations for group parties. If one request were granted all would have to he approved se 'that there` avoille be no discrimination. The amount of the ration allowance is based on the known supplies avail- able and the anticipated production. - If we take large amounts from these supplies for special celebrations it would mean that the consumer ra- lioneelloWance would be Mt. * Q.: Is there any possibility that the ration allowance of sugar ,wall be increased? A.: Not at the present time and probably for several months since woeld supplies are down end normal production cannot be resumed in re- cently liberated countries. Q.: I want to buy some new farm machinery which is rationed.
