Brussels (Continued from Page 1) mittee worked out details for advertising and programs. The next meeting is set for May 29th at the arena. Committee members learned that there is a continuing re- sponse to invitations that have gone out to former residents. Typical is a letter from Shiela and Brian Presc'ott and sons Mark 7, Paul 5 and Peter 3 who write from R.R.1, South Mountain: Thank you ever so much for the invitation to your Centennial celebrations in Brussels on July 1 weekend. It is 12 years this September since we left Brussels and so we are certainly looking forward to seeing old friends again and what better place than at a celebration such as this; My Mom sends us the Brussels Posts so we have kept in touch with what has gone on in your town (my home town) over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the pictures of earlier years in the Post lately- so many old familiar faces which bring back many fond memories. Our three boys have heard so much about.russels that they are getting as excited as I am about going for the celebrations - I think the oldest boy wants to find out if Brussels is really all that Mom builds it up to bet Raise worms in nursery There's a nursery lathe base- ment of the K, W, Neatby Build- ing in Ottawa. The Neatby Building is the administrative center for Canada' Agriculture's nation-wide Re- sea.rch Branch. It also houses laboratories for some of the department's research insti- tutes. The nursery belongs to the Entomology Research Institute. It's for raising cut worms. About 800 cutworms are now ,housed in the temperature- controlled, brightly-lit sur- roundings which otherwise look like an ordinary research lab- oratory. "We hope to increase our cap- acity to allow us to rear thous- ands of cutworms," says Dr. Helen Salkeld, head of the com- parative morphology section which is raising the worms. "A quick look at cutworms doesn't always reveal the dif- ference between species, so we intend to look at the problem in detail. "That requires a good supply of cutworms. The best answer is to raise them our- selves," she says. And so the nursery. Each worm has its private quarters, right through from cradle stage at hatching until it's an adult moth. Menus are individually sup- plied, consisting mainly of field beans, wheat germ. brewers' yeast, vitamin C and some other goodies in a mixture specially developed in California for a close relative of the cutworms. Individual worms are kept in small glass dishes or box- like containers. A plan is under- way for mass rearing to cut down the amount of handling required for each worm in feeding and transferring. New plexiglass frames containing 100 separate compartments allow for simul- taneous diet changes in all com- partments. "We're still trying to find better diets," says Dr. Salkeld. "On some diets the worms won't quit eating and they simply become too fat. Fat worms don't transform smoothly to the moth stage. The moths often emerge deformed. "Since deformed moths won't mate, we're trying to achieve the right balance between hand- ling and diet to mass produce moths in mating shape to keep our nursery full," she says. Many of the cutworm species have never been raised in capt- ivit y before. Keeping a watch- ful eye on the nursery is paying off for the scientists. "We're learning a great deal, not only about the eating habits of the worms, but also about some of their other habits. "For example, different species sometimes enter an overwintering stage at different points in their development. Not all go through the winter as pupae (in cocoons). Knowing these difference can help tell one species from another when phy- sical appearances are too much alike," Dr. Salkeld says. It takes about six weeks for the worms to grow from the newly hatched to the pupal stage. Eggs are kept in cold stor- age, just above freezing, while the worms develop inside. This stimulates one overwintering stage. In the field, spring addition of moisture triggers hatching, telling the fully developed worm to start chewing its way out of the shell. Other natural environments of the worms are simulated in the nursery, some in controlled temperature cabinets. Since the adults like to hide, dark-blue paper is left loose in the quarters for shy moths to find some privacy. Sand is supplied for egg laying. "The nursery serves two pur- poses," explains Dr. Salkeld. It provides a continuing moth pop- ulation with which to study life Cydle8 and it also supplies egg and other life stages for special studies. 12—THE BRUSSELS POST, MAY WILTING - A lovely spring wedding took place in.
