QUEEN ANN'S LACE 15 FORERUNNER
OF CULTIVATED CARROT
Queen -Ann's Lace or Wild
Carrot introduced from Eurasia
has become established as a
weed in fields, roadsides and
waste places throughout On-
tario. The cultivated "carrot"
is a direct descendant of this
'species, says the Field Crops
Branch of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Wild carrot is a biennial or
a short-iived perennial with a
stout tap -root. The plant is eas-
ily identified by the carrot -like
• odor, fine lacy leaves and the
umbels of white or rarely,pink-
ish flowers, - the central one of
each umbellet often being pur-
ple. •
This weed spreads by seeds
which have spines that cling to
the wool and the fur of animals.
• If the seeds are not disseminat-
ed by late fall, the raw winter
wind will break the flower head
off the stem and blow it across
the snow-covered ground leav-
ing a trail of seeds in its path.
Wild carrot is easily control-
led in cultivated land because
cultivation prevents the forma-
• tion of the rosette in the fall
which, the following year, pro-
duces flowers and seeds. This
weed causes most trouble in
legume 'meadows after the hay
has been removed. The second
crop sometimes consists of
more wild, carrot than grass or
•
.clover. Such meadows should
be mowed the second time as
soon as the wild carrot begins
to. bloom. Badly infested mea-
dows should be plowed under
and planted to a row crop for
at .least two years before re-
seeding. -
• In grass pasture fields, road-
sides, fence bottoms and waste
places, a mixture of 2,4 -D-
2,4,5 -T should be used at the -
rate of 16 to 24 ounces of acid
in 20 gallons of water per acre
and this treatment will control
most species .of wild, carrot.
• This treatment should be used
early in the spring as soon as
you can see the rosettes,. and
again in September when the
next year's crop is becoming
established.

Viruses Come In

consumption and
export of eggs last year were
down from 196Q, report$ the
11th annual Poultry Market Re-
view by Markets -Information
Section, Canada De3artitient of
Agriculture.
Receipts of eggs at registered
grading stations in- Canada
announted to 207 million dozens,
This total, although 5.4 per
cent above the 1955-59 five-
year average period, was dawn
by 1.3 per cent from 1960.
Farm productions amounted
to 446.5 million dozen- in 1961
—about one per cent below
the previous year's.
Exports declin in 1961,
Those of shell eg amounted
to about 5.5 million d zens last
year compared with 8.2 million
in 1960. Exports of processed
eggs totalled 570.3 thousand
pounds, down sharply from.
2.5 million pounds.
The immobile virus "travels"
by being carried by one host
body to another, says Dr. R. 8.
Willison, of the federal research
laboratory at Vineland Station,
Ontario.
Some viruses, particularly the
mosaics of tobacco, tomato, po-
tato and cucumber, are highly
contagious. These can be trans-
mitted froth plant to plant
merely by contact and are eas-
ily spread during transplanting
and cultivation.
Less contagious viruses often
are spread by humans when
grafting plants or growing them
from tubers, bulbs, roots and
cuttings.
Insects are "carriers" of many
diseases. Viruses affecting rasp-
berries, strawberries, sugar
beets, potatoes and other crops
are spread by aphids; leafhop-
pers carry such crop perils as
aster yellows, curly top of sugar
beets, peach yellows and X -dis-
ease of stone fruits. Even micro-
scopic mites spread wheat
streak mosaic, fig mosaic, black
currant reversion and peach
mosaic.
Strangely enough, some of the
most contagious viruses are
rarely transmitted by insects
other than grasshoppers and
some beetles which regurgitate
while feeding, Dr. Wilson points
out.
Other, though less common,
ways of spreading viruses in-
clude transmission by nema-
todes or through seed or pollen.
Seed transmission ,is rare but
does occur in beans, lettuce and
cherry. '
Many plant viruses can be
spread in more than one man-
ner. Because of this and the
fact that they can occur in.
weeds' as well as crop plants,
control is difficult. But, says Dr.
Willison, knowing how they are
spi ad iS important.
TIMELY TIPS
. You are a sitting duck when
you drive your^ tractor on pub-
lic roads, says Hal Wright,
farm safety specialist with the
Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture. Tractors are slow mov-
ing compared to normal traf-
fic, and it is this slow speed
that increases the hazard. Take
out extra insurance by driving
your tractor with courtesy and
common sense, and don't for-
get to signal those turns.

their own sandwich specialists at'lunch or snack time but
do have on hand a variety of tastefully chosen ingredients
for their creations.
Per capita consumption of
eggs dipped from 24 dozens
in 1959 and 1960 to 23.5 dozens
to hit the lowest level since
1953.
Prices' to producers for all
grades average 31.3 cents per
dozen. This was about 1.5 cents
a dozen higher than in 1960.
There was less seasonal fluctua-
tion in 1961 resulting in more
even returns to the producer,
the Poultry Market Review
notes.
The national weighted aver:
age price to producers for Can-
ada Grade A Large eggs for
the year ended Sept. 30, 1961,
stood at 1.7 cents above the
prescribed level of 33 cents.
Consequently, the Agricultural
Stabalizatioin' Board did not
make any payment to pro-
ducers for the 1960-61 period.
Two changes have been made
in the deficiency payment. pro-
gram for the 1961-62 period.
The prescribed price was raised
from 33 cents to 34 cents per
dozen. and Grade A Medium
eggs became eligible for pay-
ment, along with Grade A
Large and Grade A Extra
large eggs. For the week

ending June .9, 1,962, the cuma Iegga; was '82.5;, compared

The one essential element lacking in sow's milk is
iron. You supply this element, prevent anemia and
obtain faster weight gains when you inject pigs with
PIGDEX Injectible Iron at 2 days of age.
At the same time stop scours. Give your pigs one dose
with the simple AUREOMYCIN eIGDOSER.
In this way, you give broad-spectru antibiotic
protection to pigs at the earliest moment—before
they start eating a dry feed—to help prevent
scouring and keep baby pigs thriving.

HOW. LONG DID IT TAKE YOU
TO COURT YOUR WIFE?
Did . you just happen to see her, walk up to her,
ask her to marry you, call in the minister —
right on the spot? ,
PERHAPS NOT — It probably took a lot of calls, and trips, movies,
flowers, candies, and a lot of putting your - best - foot - forward
tactics. You had to sell yourself. She had to know all about you.
