Cancel Subsidy on Bees
Honey 'Price to Increase
The subsidy of 50 cents per pound
paid during 1994 and 1945 will not
be paid on 1946 importations of pack-
aged bees, according town announce-
ment by the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board. To offset the result-
ing 'increased cost of prochiction, a
revision will he made in the ceiling
price of the 1946 honey erop. The
exact amount of this increase has not,
yet been determined..
While the number oft beekeepers
in Canada increased in 1945 to. 13,800
there was a decrease of 12 per .cent.
in the total honey crop for the year,
due to the adverse spring and early
summer weather. Of the '`totdI '1Y
30,683.009 pounds. 9005,000 pounds
were produced in Ontario.

In the absence of P. K. B. Stewart,
Clinton; agricultural representative
for H.uron•County, who is confined to
Clinton Public Hospital; Gerald Nel-
son, .assistant agricultural represen-
tative, was in charge of the regular
fortnightly broadcast over radio
station GKNX Saturday noon:
It is with a'.feeling of regret that
I take this broadcast' today as a sub-
stitute' for St. Stewart, knowing full
well the enjoyment ,and educatipnal
benefits' which the fanners of Huron
County have 'received from his fort-
nightly talks. .Mr. Stewart has been
laid :aside for some time through ill-.
nese and I am sure you will all, join
with me in expressing the hope and
desire that he will soon be' restored
to normal' health and be capable of
resuming his' duties as 'our genial
Agricultural Representative, During
his' absence, I shall hi my own humble
manner endeavour to carry on the
agricultural worn in the county as
best T can, and with the co-operation
received from the Federation of Agri-
culture, and other County organiza-
tions as iu the past, I am sure we
will get along.
Warble Fly Campaign
We -are planning on launching upon
our Warble Ply campaign in the very
-near future. It seems as though
Huron , is: the pioneer county. in On-
tario in the movement to institute a
campaign to suecessfu)ly:control the
Warble Fly,. At the Ontario Cattle
Breeders' annual meeting held in Tor.
onto February 8, a numper of dele.
gations from other eounties were
present with the hope of starting a
similar campaign in their respective
areas. Just at this point I might
ad'd that no matter whet other areas
are included in the experiment Huron
County was assured of being one of
the Counties in which experimental
work of this nature would be carried
on. It has not been definitely stated
as to how the expense of the expert
meat is to be borne, but it Is sug-
gested that it be divided equally
among- Provincial Livestock Bunch,
a locale sponsoring organization; and
the farmer. To make an experiment
successful, it is necessary to have the
whole -hearted support of all persons
within that area to be covered. To
this end we are hoping that all farm-
ers in Goderich Township, which
has been selected for no other reason
than for its geographical position,
ivill co-operate in this forthcoming
campaign.
We realize quite well, the angles
to be considered in an experiment of
this nature. Several of these were
brought forward at the Toronto meet-
ing, and a very lively, interesting dis-
cussion took place. The use of power
machinery to apply the warble fly
solution, as carried on with the ranch
cattle of Alberta and Saskatchewan
was discussed, both as to the merits
and pitfalls. Whether this method of
treatment would be applicable. in On-
tario, no one as yet knows. Another
point brought forth was to the effect
that, vrouldi it be practical to spray
cattle while tied in the stable? With
the noise of the :machine and the
pressure of the spray (approximately
900 lbs,, -being • required to remove
the scab on the warble lump in order
to contact the grub) and the nervous
temperament of our dairy cattle, a
not too pleasant reaction may occur.
On the other hand, if some type of - Huron County Girl Heads
portable corral and squeeze could be
erected in the barnyard or nearby
field, .the catie could be driven
through (Inc' at a time and satisfactor-
ily treated in this manner.
You have no doubt read consider-
able in the County press recently
about the Warble Fly, its life history,
ands the suggested plans for the cam-
paign and it it not my intention now
to bore ,you further on this topic, but
just in eoncluding this subject, I
would like
to quote a portion of a
talk delivered by Dr. Lionel Steven -
San some time ago cm "The Warble
Loss."
"Who takes the warble loss ?" '
The' farmer doe's every time. The
cattle 'buyers know the damage to;
warble infested carestses,'before the
,animals are slaughtered and the hides
removed. The tell-tale warble lumps
on the back of a grub infested animal
are as easily seen by a cattle buyer
as 'a lighthouse is seen by a sailor.
The cattle buyer knows what is under
the hide and can accurately estimate
the damage done, so naturally cuts
dawn the price. A truck load of young
cattle of the "baby beef classa of-
fered at the stock yards were sub-
jected to a cut of one dollar a hund-
red, because. they were grub infested.
This cut amounted to a $40 loss on:
five head, a $40 loss because the
backsof these cattle were infested
with warble grubs. ,
The packer eaniot afford to take
the loss, because the best neat cut-
ting trade does not want carcasses
that show warble injury. Further-
more, the hide must he sold and a
lower figure realized '1 or them, be-
cause the tanner does not want third
grade hides. Those that sell their
cettle free of all evidence of injury
will naturally get the. higher price.
Warble flies are an old enemy to the
catteman, an enemy that is not only
to be controlled but can be completely
-routed, if those, owning cattle would
see to it that any grubs or larvae
appearing during March,- April, May
and June be killed.
I quote this just to emphasize upon
the cattlemen the loss resulting from
the presence of warbles in their herds
and he necessity of completely era-
dicating them if their financial re-
turns from the cattle industry is to be
increased.
In connection with Boy's and Girl's
Clubs' I would like to say a few avoids
at this time. Last year we had five
clubs in the County and already this
year a number of requests have been
received from various districts with
regard to the formation of Clubs. In
all probability we shall have ap-
proximately ten clubs in the County
this year. If there are any other
agricultural societies. or local organi-
zations who wish to sponsor a. chub
we would be very glad to accept your
request within the near future. I in-
tend circularizing all club members
of 1945, at which time they can make
application for club work this year.
Also in an effort to increase our club
membership these club members may
send in the names and addresses of
ethers in their communities who
world be interested in forming a club
this year. Club members must be
farm girls 'or boys within the age
limit of twelve to twcray-one In-
clusive. v

and put your plan row by row on
paper. In .this way you will have a
more successful garden than if you

purchase ha'se seeds and plan as you plant.
Junior Hoatemaking Club member's•
receive special help with their garden
problems from the Department of
Agriculture. For the first two years
they are given a plan to follow: Each
member has the opportunity , to pur-
chase twenty varieties of vegetables
and five varieties of flowers at a cost
of $1, The Girls' Home Garden Club
is open to the first fifty girls in
Huron County who apply to the Home
Economist, Miss. Flora M, Durnin,.
Dungannon, or to the Department of
Agriculture at Clinton, Each gardener
attends three or four club .meetings
held in her home community. At these
meeting's she receives instruction in
gardening value and use of vege
table and winter storage. In second
year work she has an additional, pro-
ject; for example, she plants and
studies the culture of a fruit such as
.strawberries. A canning demonstra-
tion is given at one 'of the meetings
in the Second year. The third year
girls make their own garden plan.
This plan shoud provide enough vege-
tables, to meet Canada's food rules.
Eat two vegetables besides potatoes
every day, green, yellow and raw
ones often. Eat tomatoes or citrus
fruit every day. Each year the gard-
ener keeps a record of her garden
and information gained at the club
meeting to assist her with future
gardens. The third year girls are
not asked to take as,many notes, but
they keep more records and develop
a reference file on gardening and
related subjects. The vegetables are
used by members of the family. The
gardens are judged in the summer by
the Agricultural Representative.
The members have an opportunity
to discuss some of their garden prob-
lems at this time. In the fall, club
members meet together to exhibit
vegetables and their record book. This
is a valuable meeting as quality in
respect to the garden products is ,
considered,
During war years, the Homemaking
Clubs, made a fine contribution,_ by
Planting and caring for gardens to
meet the family needs and relieved
other members of that work. We
needed vegetables• in war time. The
health of Canada is also important
in peace. In 1946 we are faced with
a shortage of labour. We would' like
to assist the girls who are planning
to care for the home garden. Farm
girls between 12 and 26 years of ago
