Farmer's Egg 'Associations Doing Big Business It would appear from the state- ment showing the volume of business. done by the Eastern Ontario Egg and Poultry Associations since the first one began business on Decem- ber 19, 1934, up to"May 31, 1937, that combined they area substantial busi- ness unit. There were at the end of May of this year 22 associations operating, the oldest having been in business 27 months, the youngest only two weeks. The total consignments of eggs marketed in the period under review was 1,281,960 dozen or 42,732 cases for anaggregate price paid in cash to the farmer of $257,646.84. .An es- timate of 2.5 cents per dozen was the cost of express charges on shipments of eggs to markets, managers' com- missions and other incidentalover- head charges. Except at five of the 22 points in the Ottawa Valley the associations 'use the railway stations for the re- ceiving and shipping centre. On the' 1,281,960 dozen of eggs handled an aggregate increased rev- entre estimated at $38,458.80 has ac- crued to the farmer members of the associations. Prior to the formation of the asso- ciations practically all the farmers in the Ottawa Valley sold their eggs ei- ther to stores or itinerant buyers, of- ten not on grade as required by the regulations of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, but on an ave- rage price and without troubling a- bout the prevailing price on the Mon - ',real market, the governing factor in connection with the sale of eggs in Eastern Ontario. At each of the association's re- ceiving'points the producers are paid on the basis of grade and the ave- rage of the week's price on the Mon- treal market less the deduction for express, manager's commission and other minor expenses. There are indications of further substantial growth of this farmers co-operative movement in Eastern Ontario for Poultry Services, Live Stock Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, under whose guid- ance, to a certain extent, the move- ment was started and developed, is constantly being appealed to by groups of farmers in other districts to give particulars on how an asso- ciation should be organized ' and op- erated, Control. Of Virus Diseases Of Potatoes Mosaic, leaf roll and spindletuber are three important diseases of virus origin, commonly found affecting the potato. Thesediseases do not herald their presence by the production of rots or wiltings, and thus may eas- ily be overlooked by the casual ob- server. Nevertheless, .such diseases may reduce yields as much as 25 per cent and they are now recognized as the disorders responsible for the, "running cut" or degeneration of po- tato varieties er strains. Mosiac :diseases are characterized by the mottling effects which they produce in the foliage., ' Leaf roll, causes a ,slight general yellowing of the foliage and an upward rolling of the leaves. Spindle tuber intensifies the normal green colour of leaves, im- parts an upright, staring appearance to the plant, and causes the produc- tion of spindly tubers with bulging eyes. The .infective agents of these three diseases occur in all parts, in- cluding the tubers of diseased plants. These diseases are all infectious, and each can be transmitted to healthy plants by several methods, especially. by insects and grafting, The Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology - at Fredericton, N.B.; is, engaged in an intensive study of po-' You've read about the "R1"!

These in- vestigations confirm the necessity of planting certified seed stock, the- roguing out of diseased plants, the' control of insects, especially aphides. or plant lice, and the destruction of I cultivated or weed hosts in which poi tato virus diseases are being harbour- ed.I Potato growers are urged to adopt the system of tuber -unit plant -i ing in isolated seed plots. Such plots should be rogued thoroughly, shortly) after the plants emerge and the prac tiee continued at weekly intervals' throughout the growing season. If mosaic is eliminated from the seed source, aphid transmission of disease is greatly lessened, In roguing seed plots or large fields, remove aphid infested, virus infected plants as gently as possible. Rogued plants should be deposited in some type of closed container, carried from the field and then destroyed, preferably by burning, Do not pile rogued plants at the end of _tte potato field.

CillSNAPSHOT CU 1 L HOME. -TOWN STREET SCENES It won't be long now before opportunities to snap pictures like this will be gone. HOW many of you have as a feed- ly possession photographs of seems about town in the days of horse oars, watering troughs and hitching posts? Not manyprebably, because those were the days when amateur photographers were few and far between. Such photographs were usually the work of the professional and those that remain today are mostly in museums and newspaper offices. Most of you without dotubt have seen the published reproductions of them and exclaimed in comparing those ol&time:scenes with the appearance of the city today. The horse cars have been replaced by trolley cars and autobusses. A horse and buggy. in the street is a curiosity. There are newand loftier, buildings, new names on the store signs, more traf- fic on street and sidewalk -the same thoroughfares, but quite different in appearance. These thoughts suggest that the amateur photographer of today, so web equipped, as he is to take pie Mirage will find lasting pleasure in mailing a photographic record of the changing appearance of the com- munity in which he lives.' Pictures that aro taken now of street scones, • and important bisildings will become historic treasures in the homes of those who are pow children. Some of the buildings will then be gone, changes''ln fashion will give a curl- ons appearance to people photo- graphed in present-day attire, and there will be many unforeseen al- terations that, years hence, will make pictures of the present scene intensely interesting. But whether or not you are in- spired to take suck pictures for their ,historical interest, you will find that photographing street, mw. scenes and "Iife and action" inci- dents ncldents about the city is one of the moat interesting phases of outdoor picturetaking. To be successful with: these pictures, bear in mind that. you will have to work quickly and quietly, attracting as little attention as possible where people are to be included and you must be able to take in an interesting situation at a. glance. The ability to level your camers. quickly and accurately Is particular-- 1y articular.ly important, as in most cases the architecture of surrounding build- ings will show, and, if the camera is riot level, the lines will be anything but pleasing. The viewpoint of the camera is also .important, Many pictures of street scenes show that its position was too low, Often a good shot of a busy street can be made from the: steps of some public building. Inter- esting and odd views are obtained from windows of high ,buildings,, pointing the camera down, When taking streets from theye curb, hold the camera as high as yon can. Cameras with eye -level finders are especially convenient for this kind of work. Don't take pictures. when a fast-moving vehicle is very near unless your camera is equipper! with a very fast shutter and you. want a picture of the vehicle as the. principal subject. There is hardly a city which does;. not afford camera owners subjects. possessing interesting features from the structural and historical points. et view. In most architectural work • full detail is essential, in which ease. the lens should be stopped down to the smallest opening consistent with the lighting conditions and:; shutter speed used, ran John van Guilder:'
