(RCAF Photo) 1 ABOUT OUR Rabbits can cause serious in- jury to young fruit trees in Ont- ario, states Robert Wilcox, Exten- sion Specialist, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture. It is almost impossible to estab- lish a young orchard if some pre- cautions are not taken. Usually rabbits move into the orchard on a cold winter night when there is a snow cover. Rabbits will eat the side of the trunk of a young tree and nip off new limbs, and trees can be nearly ruined in one night. gerry st To Our Friends! M.

NEIGHBOURS 1 RCAF Families at Seaforth (Seaforth News) The number of RCAF person- nel based at RCAF Station Clin- ton who reside in Seaforth and Egmondville is thirty, according to a survey made this week by RCAF Public Relations. The number of civilians from Seaforth and Egmondville who are employ- ed at RCAF Station Clinton, is thirty-one. This means that the bread winners of 61 families com- mute daily to their work at this station. There are a number of control measures: (1) Poison baits; (2) rabbit repellent; (3) sacking; and (4) bullets. A poison bait method consists of hanging bunches of strychnine - treated hay on the limbs of the trees in the orchard (make sure livestock do not have access to the orchard). The repellent method in- volves applying to the trees a solu- tion consisting of 9 lbs. of powd- ered rosin dissolved in one gallon of denatured ethyl alcohol (let the mixture stand for two or three days before use). In the sacking method, sacking is wrapped around the trunk above the mouse guard, and also around the lower limbs. Before using the bullet method, consult the local game warden. Detailed information on both mouse and rabbit control in or- chards is contained in Ontario De- partment of Agriculture circular 311, obtainable from the Informa- tion Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Parliament Build- ings, Toronto, or the office of the county agricultural, representative.
