Diagnostic
service for
plant growers
Homeowners as well as the
agricultural industry can
now get answers to their
questions and problems from
a new pest diagnostic and
services clinic- at the
University of Guelph. The
clinic is offered with the
support of funds provided
through the Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food..
The clinic will deal with
questions relating to the
identification and control of
pests, the identification of
plants, and the many
problems encountered by
horticultirists and
homeowners in growing
plants.
For many' years, such
problems have been brought
to the University of Guelph,
and several departments for
answers. Among those who
responded to such queries
were the late Prof. J. C.
Taylor, and Professors H.
Goble and C. B. Kelly, who
recently retired from their
faculty positions.
Modern demands for
updated information on
pesticides and a steadily
growing number of all
inquiries now require a more
co-ordinated system,with
specimens for identification
and other enquiries directed
to a central location. The
new iclinic achieves this, and
will provide a more prompt
and better service to the
public.
The clinic Will be staffed,
initially _ .. . with a
diagnostician, R. T.
•Wukasch, assisted by both
Prof. Goble and Prof. Kelly
on a part-time basis. Other
specialists at the University
of Guelph and elsewhere will
also act as consultants so
that the clinic can serve a
broad ffnction to the
agricultural industry, an-
cillary industries and
general public.
Enquiries and specimens
for diagnosis should be sent
or delivered to: )?est

Sunflowers
are useful
Like porkers from which
everything is used but the
squeal, sunflowers are ef-
ficient, adaptable and in-
finitely useful to gardeners.
The huge, golden sunlight ,�
seeking blossoms are
beautllul, molly-'-triaT—cnr-•
—
pensating for sunflower's
tall, .coarse leaves, often
used for screening: Seeds
form quickly, their weight
making sunflower 't'h'ead4"
nod. After the seed heads are
harvested the sturdy, fibrous
stalks can be dried and
saved for use as rustic
tripods to support vining
vegetables or flowers.
If you want to plant giant
sunflowers, be sure to select
a variety bearing the name
"Giant" or "Mammoth"..
Plant breeders have.
developed all . , sorts bf
shorter, smaller flowered
sunflowers in their quest for
more decorative garden
plants. 'These newer
varieties are beautiful but
they don't have giant
flowers.
