A.br•a}ram, chairman of the Home Gardens and Vacant Lots Section of the Canada Food Board. "An early ,season to scone extent minimized the loss from Ills pest. The time to attack the vet worm is in the fall, if next year's ravages are to be controlled. The eggs of this worm are laid in the autumn, and if after ell eggs are laid, the ground is well broken up or plowed, the larvae will be so deeply buried as to destroy ninety-five per cent. of them, "I strongly advise," he added, "that every available foot of town hand be plowed this fall During the winter there will be plenty of time to organize for planting it in vege- tables, or even cereals, but get as much fall plowing under way as pos- sible. • Cities and towns are the only available source of surplus labor. ami every ounce of food will be required."

"White." Yet they would be wrong on the whole, although white0is of great fregency in sheet lightning. But in a long series of expert observations of the color of flashes it was found unmistakably that in font lightning red is the hue which occurs most frequently, and very cloeely upon the heels of red comes blue. Thus the slang expres- sion about "blue lightning" has its origin in tact and not in fancy. It may be said with some certainty that fork lightning is never white, but it is occasionally orange and green. As we have seen, white oc- curs most frequently in displays of sheet lightning, red and yellow eom- ing next in order of frequency. With most people a flash is too sudden and blinding for correct vision, and it re- quiree the use of special instruments ' certainly to determine the eolor of a flash.

A.br•a}ram, chairman of the Home Gardens and Vacant Lots Section of the Canada Food Board. "An early ,season to scone extent minimized the loss from Ills pest. The time to attack the vet worm is in the fall, if next year's ravages are to be controlled. The eggs of this worm are laid in the autumn, and if after ell eggs are laid, the ground is well broken up or plowed, the larvae will be so deeply buried as to destroy ninety-five per cent. of them, "I strongly advise," he added, "that every available foot of town hand be plowed this fall During the winter there will be plenty of time to organize for planting it in vege- tables, or even cereals, but get as much fall plowing under way as pos- sible. • Cities and towns are the only available source of surplus labor. ami every ounce of food will be required." The attention of the Canada Food Beard has been Balled to the practice frequently adopted by Licensed Deals, ens in apples, turnips, potatoes and other fruits and vegetables, of hav- ing matt living in different parts of i.he country a.eting as their agents, 1 buying or contracting such produce, superintending the loading of same an cars ready for shipment, and re- ceiving a commission from said deal- ers for such work. All such agents operating in the ma1n11r mentioned, without' first,hav- ing secured a license from the Board, "are doing so contrary to the Order dated 13th., day of December, 1917, wherein -it states:— "That on and after the 1st., day of February, 1918, no person shall deal wholesale in fresh fruits or fresh vegetables, without first having ob- tained a license `from the Food Con- troller," and in violating such Order are guilty of an offence, and subject to a penalty not to exceed $1,000, and not less than $100. r• LIGHTNING COLORS -,• Most people if they were to be asked the question: "What color is lightning?" would answer, without hesitation:. "White." Yet they would be wrong on the whole, although white0is of great fregency in sheet lightning. But in a long series of expert observations of the color of flashes it was found unmistakably that in font lightning red is the hue which occurs most frequently, and very cloeely upon the heels of red comes blue. Thus the slang expres- sion about "blue lightning" has its origin in tact and not in fancy. It may be said with some certainty that fork lightning is never white, but it is occasionally orange and green. As we have seen, white oc- curs most frequently in displays of sheet lightning, red and yellow eom- ing next in order of frequency. With most people a flash is too sudden and blinding for correct vision, and it re- quiree the use of special instruments ' certainly to determine the eolor of a flash.
