J. Beer, local Selected Dealer for Goodyear Tires and Mr, E. M. Quance have just returned from New Toronto, Ontario, where they spent a day in a complete in spection of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s factory. Production, at this, (he.largest of Canadian tire factories,,( is maintain- ’ ed .by night and day shifts and cer tainly reflects little of the pessi mism of bad times. Their description of the manufac ture of tires surprises one in that there is no .step in the manufacture, of tires at this great factory which is not tested and inspected. It would seem impossible for anything but a perfect tire to be sold. The “under water” test of inner tubes was, in their opinion, One of the most interesting.

Such rumors are un founded. Th© Provincial Entomolo gist in March called a meeting of the corn borer inspectors, discussed with them their -duties arid gave in structions that there should b© no slackening up in the enforcement of the Act. He said the borer was just as dangerous as ever and the only safegard pgainst serious loss to the corn lay in a thorough clean-up every year; each farmer doing his share. It was pointed out that the weather was a very important fac tor in determining whether we could get -a reduction in the number of borers any particular year. Some years the weather would favor the insect so much that all a good clean up -could do would, be- to prevent a very large increase. Other years the weather would help us ahd there would be a decrease. Farmers should bear in mind that there seems no prospect of its being safe. to withdraw the Corn Borer Act for many years to come; in fact we may haVe to require ;a. compul sory clean-up for ages just as they have to do jn parts of’Europe’, the home of the borer. Hence the wise course for farmers to follow is to adopt the besf method of handling their corn fields each year so that they will have little or no handpick ing to do. Many farmers have al ready- reached this stage, others should try to follow their example.. The inspectors will gladly giv© any helpful suggestions in .their power. Cowing to economic conditions all over the province it is specially de sirable this year that iclean-up of corh-fields be completed early, so that expenses b© kept as low .as pos sible, consistent with efficiency. Hence farmers and also corn .grow ers in cities and. towns are urged to co-operate, by having all corn rem nants destroyed , not later than May 20tli, Any person wishing to get further information on the borer and the best methods of control should write to thfr-Director of Statistics ,and' Pub lications, East Block, Parliament Buildings, ‘Toronto, and ask for a copy of bulletin No. 358. 2—-Part of Lot num- the south boundary of the of Hay.
