dame Officers at Huron
Crop Association Meeting
Alvin Ba ties, R.t.. 2, Bayfield,
was re-ele.:ted 'president for a sec-
ond term at the annual meeting
and banquet of the Huron Crop Im-
provement Association at Clinton
,on Friday.
Other officers named were: First
vice-president, Russell Dolton, R.R.
1, Dublin; second vice-president,
Richard Proctor, Belgrave; secre-
tary -treasurer, G. W. Montgomery
and John Butler, Clinton.
S. S. Nowosad, Ottawa, division
of forage plants, Central Experi-
mental Farms, as guest speaker,
spoke on soil conservation through
grassland .farming.
"Grassland farming is a system
based on adequate and intelligent
usage of grasses and legumes in
rotation . in which the grass-
lands are integral parts of the
cropping system , , . in which some
areas unsuited for cultivation, are
converted to permanent grasslands
and the other areas are placed in
Crop -rotation with sufficient propor-
tions of grasslands to protect the
soil and to provide profitable and
sustained production of crops," he
said.
"Forage crops are the backbone
of our farming for facts on yield
and production of field units prove
this. You study data that shows
that the cheapest food is grass
from pasture, that it takes least ef-
fort to harvest it because animals
do it for you five or six months
of the year, that grasses and leg-
umes save the soil, prevent water
run-off, improve the physical condi-
tion of the soil, bring up the min-
erals from lower soil zones for you
without any effort on your part,"
be said.

Garden Clubs Are
Fun Says Seaforth
Junior, A. Haugh
(Junior Farmer News)
"On completing my third year in
this worthwhile club I must say
that I have enjoyed every minute
of it." This statement was made
.by Ann Haugh. of the Seaforth
Merry Maidens Garden Club. as
he told the members and leaders
of Homemaking Clubs why she en•
joyed ,her garden. Ann was one of
the speakers at the Junior Day
program held at Guelph on Oct. 19.
Flowers Aroused Interest
Ann said that her love of flowers
inspired her to join the Garden
Club which her mother, as Club
Leader, organized three years ago.
Her flowers are still a source of
oy to her, particularly her morn-
ing glories and petunias which,
along with her annuals, add beau-
ty and color to her garden. They
have brought color to the interior
of the home, too, as Ann studied
flower arrangements a d
made bou-
quets
u-
quets for the house and the sick
room.
Horne beautification, Ann declar-
ed, had been another of her most
'njoyable projects fostered by her
membership in the Garden Club.
\round the home she has planted
;hi -ohs and trees such as Dwarf
Savin, Dwarf Juniper, hemlocks and
white cedars. Some were purchas-
d with her prize money and she
has ambitious plans for the future.
Garden Good For Meals
Ann feels that one of the great-.,
est advantages of being a Garden
Club girl,however, has been the
opportunity to enjoy fresh, home-
grown fruits and vegetables..
Among her favorites were tender
green peas, crisp lettuce, juicy
corn and luscious strawberries.
Ann claims that her garden has
enriched every meal, enabling the
family to keep Canada's food rules.
Fruits and vegetables from the gar-
den are very handy when unexpect-
ed company drops in, she remind-
ed her audience.
New vegetables, she stated, had
proved to be another interesting
venture as they added so much va-
riety to the menu. Among those
she mentioned were pepper grass,
summer savory, red and green.. cit-
ron and peppers. Experiments with
different varieties were also under-
taken. Last year Ann grew four
varieties of tomatoes—Bonny Best,
John Baer, Beefsteak and Early
Chatham. Some of the beans
grown included Pencil Pod Black
Wax, soybeans, limas and Ken-
tucky Wonder.
Summing up her comments, she
suggested that Garden Clubs were
a good project for all rural girls.

RECOMMENDED MINIMUM
PRICES FOR SEED GRAIN
Recommended minimum prices
for seed in Ontario were decided
upon at a recent meeting of the
Seed Marketing and Publicity Com-
mittee of the Ontario Crop Im-
provement Association. The prices
recommended, based on retail
sales at local' shipping points, bags
incluced, are as follows':
Oats—Com. No. 1 grade, 11.60
per bushel; Reg. No. 1 grade, $1.95
per bushel. '
• i Barley—Com. No. 1 grade, $2.15
per bushel; Cert. No. 1 grade, 12.50
per bushel; Reg. No. 1 grade, $2.60
Per bushel.
At the committee meeting it was
reported that the demand for seed
grain on the export market at the
present time was very active. At
the same am
e time the Committee e felt
i that the domestic demand would
also be good. This expectation
was based on the fact that a big
'livestock production program is un-
der way 'n Ontario and that \labor
is in short supply. Thus the"' ex-
r'ect that many farmers will feed
their home grown grains and buy
'erd that has already been clean-
ed, graded and treated.
Referring to the forage seed sit-
uation. the Committee pointe,i out
that Canadian alfalfa is again in
sant supply and prices are likely
10 be as high or higher than last
However; -"host other types
appear to ,be more plentiful.

WORK ON NEW INSECT
2EPELLENT CHEMICALS
Peaec or war, the northlands of
Canada will pl;.y an increasingly
important role in the economy and
security of the North American
continent. But to make the fullest
use o` these economically and
trategically invaluable areas, ade-
qu:.te attention must be given to
the development of truly effective
insect repellent chemicals.
A number of improved insect
repellents have been investigated
in Canada recently, in a joint pro-

Agrirulture and the Defence Re-

11. The latest repellents prepared,
at Toronto University I)y Dr, Q. F.
Wright's group, undgr a grant pro-
vided by Science Service, Depart-
ment of Agriculture, are currently
being tested in the Science Service
Laboratories.
The demoralizing effects insects
can have an prospecting, mining,
agricultural, and defence units op-
erating in the northern regions.
can be fully appreciated only by
those who have spent some time
in the north at the height of the
insect seasons- Those who have
not head this experience will recall
articles in the press during the war
years, which credited the insects
with the relative absence of at-
tempted prison breaks from Cana-
dian prisoner -of -war camps during
the summer months.
Canadian work on inse-t repel-
lents is focused on two main objee-
tives. Zlhe first is to find an ideal
repellent combining a number of
properties that will make it non-
toxic and non-irritant to man, safe
for clothing, not too disagreeable
in odour, and cheap and easy to
produce. Canadian scientists be-
lieve they have a few repellents
that may answer all these require-
ments, but a series of rigid tests—
first on guinea ,pigs and other ani-
mals, and then on human volun-
teers—will have to be completed
before the identity of these chemi-
cals can be disdlosed.
The second objective is to estab-
lish some correlation between re-
pellent properties and the physical
and chemical characteristics of in-
sect repellents. If such a Scorrellt-
tion were established, it would be
relatively simple to pick out poten-
tially suitable repellents from the
