The Huron Expositor, 1960-05-26, Page 5by Tom Dory • fp ADVANCE WARBLE FLY ERADICATION NEW SPRAY .SEEMS SUCCESSFUL Major advance in the eradication and control of warble fly is report- ed by the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture following the completion of a pro- ject designed to determine the ef- fectiveness of a systemic prepara- tion which can be used by cattle breeders by spraying at 'the con- clusion of the fly' season in the fall. Exhaustive tests antq-the ef- ficacy of the product were carried out by the Live Stock Branch in- co- operation with the manufacturers of the product. Sixteen cattle feeders in the Counties of Huron and Bruce par- ticipated in the project. Cattle treated were chiefly yearlings that had been purchased • in Western Canada. Approximately 50 to 60 • per cent of the cattle were sprayed with the new product on each prem- ises, the balance being left un- sprayed to serve as checks:. The spray was applied during CONSTANCE Mr. William Dale spent the week end in New York State, where he purchased 30 head of registered Guernsey Y cattle. This year, Since the first of January, he has al- ready imported 20 head and re- sold them to Ontario breeders. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Van der Molan and'brother, Master Marvin Van der Molan, of Guelph, spent the weekend with the former's par- ents, Mr, and Mrs. W. L. Whyte, also Mrs. Watson and four daugh- ters were also weekend guests at the Whyte home, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Warren, Lynda and Helen, of London, spent the holiday weekend with the lat- ter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lawson, Mr.' and Mrs. Howard Preszca- tor and family spent the weekend at the Les Parker home at Exeter. Mr. Charles MacGregor, of Pic - ton, Prince Edward County, and Miss Janet MacGregor, of Ford- wich, spent the holiday weekend at their parental home, Mr. and Mrs. Ross MacGregor. Mr. and Mrs. Borden Brown, Joyce and Elaine spent the holiday weekend with friends at Romeo and Flint, Mich. r The 4-H Homemaking Club held their. final meeting at the home of their leader, Mrs. W. L. Whyte, on Monday and entertained their mothers. the last week of October and the first week of November, while the grub population counts were made during the week of April 18, 1960. The advantage of the treatment is that it destroys the grub before it causes discomfort or damages the hide. Under the test 570 animals were sprayed and 377 were untreated as cheeks. Of the -total animals -spray- ed 439 were found to be free of grubs while those showing some signs of infestation showed a total of only 351 grubs in the entire 16 herds under test, the count run- ning from four to 94 grubs per head in the treated animals, Unsprayed animals totalled 377, with only 118 being found free of infestation. Some 2,.180 grubs were counted on the untreated herd as compared to the 351 reported in the treated group. Grubs per animal of the treated herd totalled .61 as compared to 5,78 in the untreated herd. Animals found free of grubs in the sprayed herd totalled 77.0 per cent as against 31.3 in the untreated herd. Some 60 of 'the treated herd were found to have only one grub against 17 of the untreated r ated herd. Over 87 per cent of the treated herds had less than two grubs as against 35.8 per cent Of the untreated groups. • Of the treated cattle there were only 61 grubs on every 100 animals. The untreated cattle had 5.78 grubs per animal or 578 for every 100 head. It is significant that 77 - out of every 100 sprayed cattle were free of grubs while in the untreated cattle only 31 out of each hundred fell into that category. Included in the group sprayed were two cattle with 14 grubs, one with 16 and one with 17. These four cattle accounted for 61 of the 351 grubs found in the cattle that had been treated. In view of the relatively low incidence of infesta- tion in the other treated cattle it is reasonable„to assume that these four animals did not receive a thorough application of the treat- ment. This project amply demonstrat- ed the ,effectiveness of the treat- ment and also in the control of lice. All co-operators reported a total absence of the symptoms as- sociated with louse infestation. Fur- thermore, no evidence of lice was found by Department officials ,,when population counts were made.

RMCS ASSINZBOINE- Qne of the best-known ships in the RCN's 50 -year history, HMCS Assiniboine, saw war action in nearly every corner of the Atlantic from the Caribbean to Iceland. Commissioned in 1939, she took part in the capture of the German merchant ship Hannover in the Caribbean shortly after the outbreak of war. .In 1942, in one of the most notable engagements of the entire Atlantic battle, she tracked down a surfaced U-boat and after a heated action at close quarters rammed and sank the µnderseas craft. In 1941, she was assigned for escort duties at the historic Churchill - Roosevelt Atlantic Charter meeting and embarked the British Prime Minister for seyeral hours at Iceland. Sold in 1945; she was taken in town from Sorel, P.Q., for Baltimore for breaking uii. On Novem- ber 7, 1945, the tow parted and the ship went aground off the coast of Prince Edward Island. She stilllies, mows to west, near East Point, P.E.I. A new Assiniboine was commissioned into the RCN in 1956 and serves today in the Pacific Command, DIDN'T RESEMBLE GOLD RUSH, LONG-TERM RESULTS BETTER The discovery of "black flowing gold" in Leduc, Alberta, in 1947 did not resemble the famous Klon- dyke gold -rush in any way but in essence it did 'far more for the Canadian way of life than the Kion - dyke gold discovery- ever did. Oil has become Canada's leading min- eral, outranking nickel, copper and gold. Canada's requirement for petroleum products will go on in- creasing from 1960 to 1980 and the rich fields ,in Western Canada can be counted upon to meet a substan- tial part of these needs. Prior to the Leduc discovery, the industry supplied less than 10 per cent of Canada's oil needs and pro- vided natural gas only to those communities near the scattered fields. Domestic consumption has grown from 142,000,000 barrels in 1952 to more thn 239,000,000 bar- rels in 1958—an increase of 68 per cent and reserves now total ap- proximately 311a billion barrels. .. Few countries have grown as rapidly as Canada in the twentieth century. The relative increase in population has been among the largest in the world; it is now more than three times as -great as 1900. The "Age of Oil and Electricity" has hastened Canada's growth in many ways. Gasoline as a source of power for airplanes, laustry and farm tractors has been con-' siderable importance in the agri- cultural, mineral and industrial ex- pansion of the nation. The increas- ing use of petroleum has played. -a' prominent role in the increased mechanization of agriculture, the development of highway and urban transportation of goods and it has helped speed the mining industry and forestry. development. Transportation of the product is the life of the petroleum industry. In the early years of the industry, when refineries were near the oil fields, oil in various forms was readily transported in barrels by wagons, baryls and. railway. In recent years, great oil fields have been developed, in regions far from centres of population and in- dustry, and crude-- oil has to be transported by pipe line or in tankers. Here in Canada, one of the earl- iest known pipe lines was laid dur- ing the second world war to carry oil from Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories to White- horse in the Yukon. The first step in the transporta- tion of Canadian crude oil by large diameter pipe line fas taken with the incorporation of the Interpro- vincial Pipe Line in '1949. Initially the plan was to build and operate a crude oil pipe line extending from Edmonton Co Regina. This plan was quickly revised to enable Canadian crude to reach more dis- tant markets in Eastern Canada on account of the rapid saturation RISING COSTS, VOL., KNOW. of markets in the prairie' region and the discovery of other fields, such as Redwater, near Edmonton, in 1948. To the west, the nearest Canadian market was Vancouver, and to the east, the largest Cana- dian markets were in. Ontario. These markets offered prospects of ,growing requirements for crude, oils, but the task of supplying them presented difficult transportation problems. They could be reached economically only with large diam- eter pipe lines, The construction of a large pipe. line could not be undertaken until oil reserves and trends in discov- ery were sufficient to warrant such ail undertaking. But the reserves and trends were there and the gigantic task was begun. In 1950, Inter -provincial completed the con- struction of its pipe line to Super- ior, Wisconsin, and in 1953, in or- der to take advantage of the econ- omy -of transmission by pipe line, Inter -provincial extended its line e..: from Superior to Sarnia. A further extension of the line to refineries in the Toronto area was made in 1957. The expansion of the coun- • Early Diagnosis Can. Stop Circling Disease Recently the Farm Service Divi- sion of the Ontario Veterinary Col- lege received a rush call to a near- by farm. The patient: a two-year- old steer down in the yard and unable to rise. He was blind and had been sick for several days. Earlier the animal had circled al- most continuously around the yard. Het -frequently stood in the corner with his head against a post, push- ing aimlessly andwithout much vigour. • Dr. D. C. Blood, of the O.V.C. Farm Service, examined the steer. His tentative diagnosis: listerellos- •is or circling disease of cattle. Within 24 hours the steer was dead. -Dr. Blood performed • an autopsy . and it proved that this diagnosis had been right.' "This disease isn't common in Ontario, but'there are a few cases reported every year," says Dr. Howard Neely, extension veterin- arian. Its symptoms are a lot like those of rabies in cattle, and such strange acting animals , must be isolated. Adds Neely, "Circling disease symptoms are also simi- lar to those of lead poisoning, so early accurate diagnosis is impor- tant. • try's oil industry has been a big factor in the growth of a country so well endowed with natural re- sources. The character of our economy has changed substantially since 1945. The future contains bright ros ect p p s for Canada also, and 'the future development of oiland oth- er resources of natural energy will insdre a sound economic stability for Canada and Canadians.
