jects are: (1) Studies of the jaol1+pine,
budworm; '(Z) studs@a • to determine
the relative value of natural control
factot:a in the control of the, spruce
budworm now In progress in; tie
Spruce Woods Forest Reserve; and
(3) -further 'intensive studies' of .the
European sawfly, .• •
The jaekpine bud,worre, although it
has.declined .., is receiving constant
attention. Studies are being -directed
towards finding out why these out-
breaks come and go. To answer that
quest Son it is essential to follow the
factors'ifecting the numbers of bud -
worms .(throughout the periods of
epidemics and scarcity. Another fin='
portant 'point of concern is the• exact
relation of jackine pollen production
to budworm outbreaks. These inyesti-
gations. ' provide ' the ;,necessary infor-
mation on the Susceptibility of tree
species not ordinarily attacked by the
budworm but in 'possible danger of
defoliation when the preferred treei
become defoliated' through insect de-
predations,.
In • the second project, the main
objective in the Spruce Woods Forest
R•eserve,is to .determine the typeand
effectiveness of" control factors now
operating in the region. In successive
yearse new natural enemies will be
introduced and the effects on- the
budworne evaluated.
In the third project; further studies
of .the European larch sawfly, one of
the phases is testing the effective-

Wealth From Poultry
In the official estimates -of the pro-
duction -of poultry meat and -eggs for
the year 1945, the production of poul-
try meat is. placed at 307,436,00.0
pounds as compared with • 315,176,000
pounds in 1944, a decrease of 2.5 per
cent. While production was lower,,
domestic conspmption increased to
322,654,7.00 pounds Lin 1945• from
315,156,514 •pounda in 1944, the differ-
ence being •accounted for by heavier
stocks on hand' at...,.the beginning of
-1945 than there were at the end of
the. year. The cash income from
poultry' .meat amounted to $66,187,000,
while the income in "kind, from poul-
try meat used on the farms was va-
lued at $18,328,000 which made a gross
income from this source of $84,515,
000. -
The production of eggs was esti-
mated at 373,952,000 dozen, an in-
crease of 13 millions or 3.6 per cent
over the, 1944 estimate of 360,948,000
dozen: • The cash income. received by
farmers from 'eggs in, 1945 totalled
$85,112,000, and eggs used in their
home were 'equal, in --value., to
t-$29.994,00: The' 'betii7lated`-'vahre•'•of-
eggs used -for hatching purposes on
farms was $3,785,000, which made a
gross value' of $118,891,000,' The $3,-
'785,600, it is pointed out, cannot" be
considered as, income because it 'is
chargeable to the' expenses
ing chickens.
How Much Water Does a Co* Need?
Veterinary authorities state that for
the ,highest production of milk the im-
portance of a continuous supply of.
drinking .water for •the cows: cannot -
be over-estimated. Experiments in
Canada, United • States, Britain and
other Countries have shown that
milk production -was higher 'from cat -
tie .with Water available to them
throughout the day than . from cattle
which had access to, water, only •once
or• twice, a day.
It is' 'estimated that 'the average
cow needs from! 10. to 15 gallons of
water per day. High producing cattle,
such' as those producing„ say, :ten
gallons df milk per day; may consume
up • to 30 gallons of w ater_,••per day.
Where dry feed,- such as hray orl"chaff
and concentrates, is being 'fed, the
cows would take' 10 to 15 gallons of
water as such. However, where the
cows are on pasture and quantities'
'up to 130 pounds are . known to be
eaten, water would be taken, in smal-,
ler amounts. One hundred and'.thirty
pounds of .pasture would probably
contain about nine or ten gallons of
water, If silage ;were fed, 50 pounds
of that material would probably con-
tain about 31/2 gallons of Water?

Valuable Tests in Swine Feeds '
• Among the many important lines
o.f wotrk carried out - by the Animal
Husbandry Division, Experimental
Farms Service, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, is the distribution of
breeding stock to improve the live.
stock on Canadian fatmy and, at the
same time, assist in advancing sci-
entific research. Recently a consid-
erable number of pigs was used in
the testing 'of their dams in. the 'Ad-
vanced Registry Policy ' for Swine,
and at another time sixteen. of the
Division's pigs figured in a co-
operative project with the Chemistry
.Division, Science Service, in deter-
mining the digestibility of various
swine feeds. In addition, pigs were
supplied to the Animal .• Diseases
Research Institute, Dominiort Depart-
ment of Agriculture, for experimental
purposes. •
In another experiment with feeder
pigs,' the results have been made
known ,on' the relative value of pro-
tein supplements of animal" and vege-
table origin in the feeding of growing
and finishing 'pigs..,,--.Protein-mineral.
.supplements coatainitig 65, 50, 35 and
20 per .cent animal protein feeds
_(that is, `tankage and fishmeal) were
compared. The remainder of each
supplement was made up by a feed
of vegetable origin—linseed meal.'The
initial results indicated practically no
difference between lots in the Tate of
gain, feed economy, or carcass qual-
ity. •
In the experiment, as repeated in
the •following year, the results in a
general way °confirmed those of the
previous test. There was a slight
advantage in the rate of gain, and
Carcass quality' for those pigs fed the
higher percentage of animal protein,
while feed economy 'was best in the
lots whey"e ' •50 per cent and 35 per
cent of the protein supplement was
from an animal source. The results
of the Iwo experiments indicated •that
up to 50 per cent of -a protein-
rttineral supplement used in hog feed-
ing could be grade• up from a vege-
table source such as linseed iiilmeal,
the remainderbeing tankage and fish-
meal, 'without lowering the feeding

A note of warning appears to be
sounded in information` issued by the
South African governmtent in its. first
release of trade: fgprea since 1939: It
shows that Canada has lost the lead-
ing role which it once had as a sup-
plier .for.,that country, having fallen
to, seventh place in 1944.from „third
'
place in 1939. "'The Ottawa Bureau of
Statistics figures for the first six,
months of 1946 shows a new increase
of exports to that country this year,
and if this new rate is maintained.,1
Canada may regain the lost ground.
The "foreign trade inquiries" sec-
tion shows that Burmese merchants
are interested in purchasing from
Canada such articles as hardware,
tools, textiles, clocks and paper and
id selling to Canada rice, cotton seed,.
oils, metal ores, rubies and other
precious stones.
Sensing Danger
The "Ottawa . Citizen," respected
vital 'daily which, in the last elec-
tion --showed..-signs_: _of.. fors aking•.-_the
Social 'Credit '• party for a new alleg-
iance with 'Socialism, .is now wonder-
ing how far the Communistic{ Com-
mando forces have made headway'
within the ranks of organized labour
in Canada.
While giving credit' to the saner
labor leaders. the "Citizen" claims
that, within the union ranks there are
"zealous fomenters of revolutionary
discontent" who have forced labor
unions into strikes "for more Sinister°
put -poses than-- -to =--improve working
conditions." Regarding the political
;party which it• had supported, the
"Citizen" said: • "A Kereasky- element
within the :C.C.F': ranks would con-
t-ribute to this -end"—and. "Few C.C.F.
leaders could. ' afford to say that ,the'
Capitalist system must be made to
work 'better ... . It is the business
of Class War Incendiaries'to see that
the C.0:F..' members are constantly
prodded into .taking sides with the
militant strikers . . irrespective of
'the merits of the case.`",
The "Citizen" thinks that it should
be possible, for good men and true in
the several parties to get"together to
achieve better results without wreck-
ing the capitalistic system -a system
which permits private as well .as pub-
lic ownership.
, L,bsing Public Support
Other signs that public sympathy
is being forfeited because of suspect-
ed ulterior motives in certain labor
leaders are becoming clear. Last
week in parliament. D: Croll—lone
Liberal member from Toronto and an
outstanding .fighter rest; the cause of
labor—speaking: on the Bill setting up
a corporation to promote external
trade, criticized severely both man-
agement and the labor leaders: He
said: "We have always relied, in
this country, upon experts to give our
people jobs . and profits and a reason
able sort of living . . . there is no
production'in an' idle factory . ,
'management has not been too greatly
concerned with strikes in its plants'
. . Labor has failed to appreciate
that the picket line at the closed
plant• today may well be' the fore-
runner of a- jobless tomorrow,"
Perhaps the most severely criti-
cized by large sections of labor and
the public. and the most vulnerable.
Is C. H. Millard, Canadian director of
the' steel workers union and a prom-
inent official of the C.C.F. .political
party. His attitude before the parlia-
mentary committee that labors' de-
mands were being made regardless of
their effect on th price structure
put labor in a bad light and put a
weapon in the hands of Canada's Tor-
ies, No one knows better than the
laborer that inflation is a game at
which he can only lose, and there is
a'call for labor leaders who will work
in the interests of labor rather than,
for the promotion of a political "sys'-
tem."
' The weekly press of Canada is by
far the most important factor unify-
ing influence in the country and is,
without doubt, more carefully read
and considered than other publica-
tions. The "Rosetown Eagle" of Sas-
katchewan is to be' cotnietended for
the campaign it is now running urg-
ing Canadians to think -of fellow Can-
adians' of foreign birth or extraction
as fellow citizens.
"Many people- are sick of hearing
all about 'racial.unity in 'Canada.'
-We think It is hih time that Cana-
dians quit talking about it and do
something. We ere convinced that,
unless we do, the results will not be
insignificant."
In another issue, of the "Eagle"
made special reference to our fellow
citizens of Ukranian descent.
"The Ukranians of this province
are On record as a splendid example
-for the rest of Canada to follow;" -said
