surplus of Canadian bacon is now en
visioned by experts of the agriculture

NAZI TREATMENT
OF POLAND
The hand of Hitler falls lfoavily on
occupied Poland. By harsh decree
and prison camp, Germany is endeav
oring to stamp out the still glowing
sparks of Polish nationality. By forc
ed labor, she is endeavoring to repair
her own dwindling supplies of food.
Polish-languaged newspapers pub
lished in the United States reveal
some of the story.
“Ameryka-Echo” of Toledo, Ohio,
tells how, on the anniversary of the
day when German trops first crossed
the Polish frontier, German authorit
ies held celebrations throughout all
German-held territories. Every Pol
ish town had to name one of its main
thoroughfares after Adolf Hitler.
A new Government decree makes
every Polish landowner responsble for
preparing all of his land for spring
sowing. Any land lying fallow will
be confiscated by the German author
ities and rented to -persons of their
choosing.
Hundreds of thousands of Polish
men and women have been sent to
work on German farms and in factor
ies since the Spring of 1940, German
authorities have started the registra
tion of all Polish women from 15 to
40 for forced labor. Educated women
are taken first and as intellectual
work has been declared unsuitable for
Poles, these women are made to scrub
floors, clean privies and gather garb
age.
Arthur Greiser, governor of Posen,
recently declared that Germans who
have settled in Posen are “lords of
creation” and must remain on their
newly acquired lands forever. “Every
German,” he said, “must build his own
house, unlike the primitive Polish
houses, but corresponding to German
character arid needs. "'German youth
must mdve into such homes and in.
them found new generations...............
Polish soil is drenched with German
blood and must remain German.”
“Kurjer Polski” published in Mil
waukee, reports that Polish prisoners
of war in Germany are starving. On
ly food parcels from home keep them
alive. But the parcels are not coming
regularly and deficiency diseases are
frequent. Scurvy has been observed
in all camps.
PREPARE YOUR
LAWN FOR WINTER
(Experimental Farms News)
It is a common practice to neglect
the lawn after the final mowing in the.
fall, There are, however, a number of
operations which may be carried ‘-out
to good advantage. Although the
grass may be permitted to go into the
winter slightly longer than the nor
mal height, a long, matted growth is
definitely undesirable. It is recom
mended that the turf be cut as long
as it is making active growth, says J.
H. Boyce, Division of Forange Plants,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
The removal of weeds from the
lawn is just as important during the
fall as it is during the growing sea
son. If the lawn is .thoroughly weed
ed just before freeze-up and proper
fertilization and other suitable cultur
al practices are started sufficiently
early the following spring, future lawn
weed problems will be considerably
reduced. .
A great Meal of the winterkilling
which takes place in lawns may be
attributed to poor drainage, either be
cause of smothering by standing wa
ter or ice sheets, or because of failure
of the lawn to drain rapidly in the
spring, thus encouraging disease.
Consequently, every effort should be
made to ensure proper drainage. In
some cases where the subsoil is very
compact, tile drains are necessary in
order to provide' adequate under-drain
age. It is important that there are no
low areas in the lawn surface. Shal
low depressions may be levelled by
topdressing with good topsoil. In the
case of deeper hollows it may be ne
cessary to lift the turf, build up the
level of the soil to the desired height
with good topsoil and then replace the
sod.
All leaves and other trash should be
raked from the lawn during the fall.
The practice of providing winter cov
ers of manure, straw, leaves or sim
ilar materials is not recommended,
since they are not necessary and fre
quently do more "harm than good. In
addition to being unsightly, such cov
ers tend to smother the grass, favour
disease, and harbor insects. Manure
and straw may contain numerous
weed seeds. Leaves arc particularly
harmful since a mat of wet leaves will
smother the grass very quickly. If I
niauurejs used on the lawn as a top-
dressing it should be finely pulver
ized and worked down into the turf so.
that no lumps lie on the surface. Any
manure used should be thoroughly de
composed and free from weed seeds.
Several of the late fell operations
are designed to combat the disease
known as snow mould. The fungus
causing this disease thrives under
moist, cool conditions. Although it
may occur in the fall, winter or spring
— it is usually most prevalent in the
early spring when the snow is melt
ing. Iti the first stage of the disease
areas of the turf become covered with
a white cottony growth. Later these
areas become gray in colour and fin
ally the affected grass becomes light
brown. In serious cases the diseased
turf is killed. On lawns where the dis
ease is known to be prevalent it is a
good policy to treat for snowmould
in the late fait. An application of a
mixture consisting of % calomel and
U bichloride of mercury at the rate
of three to four ounces per 1,000 stj.
feet, produces' satisfactory results,
The best way to apply this matoria.1
is to mix the required amount of the
mixture with sufficient dry sand to
