Forest- Servicer, .4t. -discussing;• "Mark=

The farmer can easily •divide his.

and Work them over a rotation. It
is, however, in the treatment of the
forest crop that he is usually at a
loss for guidance, because he has no
lore of forest practice handed down
'4, to him from his forebears, • as is
largely the case in farming. More
'frequently his only guide is cutting,
in the selection of the most readily
usable or saleable products., leaving
the forest to get along the'best way
It can. Such hit and miss methods
rarely, if ever 'produce good forests.
Here is where the forester should
lit into the picture, says Mr. Mulloy.
Just as in most farming districts
there is a local agricultural repre-
sentative whq„ is willing and anxious
to give advice and help, • so in most
districts there should be a forestry
representative whose duties should
consist for a large part in marking
the farmer's woodlot for cutting.
This service should be. free,
Helping a farmer to • exploit and
use his woodlot to the best advant-
age, however, is only half the prob-
lem. Very often;' even on woodlots
where all the products could be used
on the farm, there are products, such
as sawlogs of pine or hardwood which
would bring high prices if marketed
at the best place. Often, too, it oc-
curs that some small wood -working
plant in the district is at its wit's
end for raw material, while a few
smiles away farmers have an over-
supply of the same raw material.
, Neither the, firm operating the .plant
nor the individual farmer can afford
to spend the time looking in one
case for raw material, or, ori the oth-
er for a favorable market. The local
representative should bridge the gap
In the problem of supply and demand.

French Cows Killed
Destruction of milk cows, has been
'high in certain parts of France, par
ticularly' in Normandy and eastern
coastal areas where the fighting was
heavy. It is estimated that Norm-
, andy lost about 80,000 cows and that
'60,000 were killed in the eastern dis-
tricts..

`Canadian Farmers First To .Get.

went of Agriculture, under which
the quality and advertising of in-
secticides and other pesticides. is reg-
ulated. Canadian farmers are among
the first civilians in.. the world to
have the opportunity of buying DDT
insecticide -for use ininsect control.
Until recently DDT was restricted
almost entirely to military use in
controlling lice, mosquitoes, flies and
other disease -carrying insects in corn.
bats areas. Production of DDT in
Canada not required for such purpose
has made this new development pos-
sible. Priority was given to the use
of DDT in th+* form of a barn spray
as being of value in increasing food
production, a vital need at the pres-
ent time.
The Department explains that the
DDT barn or stable spray is a resi-
dual spray and should not be ;prayed
into the air as is an ordinary fly
spray, but should be applied to walls,
ceilings and other surfaces frequent-
ed by flies and other insects, in a
fairly coarse spray sufficient to wet
the surface without . allowing too
much run-off. One gallon is sufficient
to treat about 1,500 square feet, and
a portable compressed air sprayer is
satisfactory for applying it. The dry
deposit of DDT left on the treated
surfaces after the liquid carrier has
evaporated may continue to kill flies
arid mosquitoes that come in contact
with it for several weeps after the
application.
The Department says that DDT
spray must not be applied to live
stock, as the chemical is a poison
and in oil solution is absorbed
through the skin. Care should also
be taken not to spray it on food-
stuffs. The person applying the
spray should avoid wetting his own
skin in so far as possible, by wear-
ing protective clothing .and by wash-
ing exposed parts thoroughly in soap
and water as soon as the spraying is
finished. There is nothing to fear
from the dry deposit on the walls,
however, as DDT is not absorbed in
the dry state.
The DDT barn sprays have been
prepared specially for use. in farm
buildings .such as cattle barns, horse
stables and piggeries, and are not
intended for household use, says the
Department.

phase of the war, apparel wool

Saving Is Sense
Save Clothes
Save elothes with`'care as always;
twice to be remembered with those
sheer rayon blouses. Dangers time 18
ironing time. Patience and gentle
handling will make them last twice
as long.' Watch that the iron is bare-
ly hot enough to do them and handle
as though the blouse were ' made of
spider's gossamer, for the point of
the iron. and a little pressure will
make a hole in a second.
Save Paper
Save paper by putting your chil-
dren's energy to work come the next
rainy day. Have them cut up old
envelopes and similar scraps of pa-
per into scratch -pad size and sew the
pieces together at the top with bright-
ly colored wool.
Save Time
Save time by leaving many of your
dishes to dry themselves. The not-
able exceptions are tin pans which
should be carefully wiped to prevent
rusting. And as you swish your dish-
es through the hot soapy to the hot
rinse water, do it with the least num-
ber of actions. If you are righthand-
ed the dishes should speed to the left,
if lefthanded it's vice versa.
Carrots Prevent
Stumblesin Dark
Stumbling down the aisle of a dark-
ened theatre to find one's seat is an
unhappy yet common experience. It
takes" a few minutes for the human
eye to become adjusted to seeing in
the dark. A lack of vitamin A in
the body lengthens this time and eat-
ing foods rich in this element will
speed up the eye's ability to become
adjusted to the darkness: The humble
carrot is such a food.
The carrot has long been popular
with both young and old, perhaps .be-
cause of its tenderness and sweet
flavour. It is easily digested and
therefore is ideal for the whole fam-
ily .from baby to great grandpapa.
The Nutrition Divisionof the De-
partment • of. National Health and
Welfare states 'that while more im-
portant as a source of vitamin A, car-
rots also contain some vitamin C. Al-
thoilgli good all year round• they are
at their best just now, especially for
eating raw.

Rehtbdelling Store
Mr. C. L. Robertson is making some
extensive alterations to his drug
store and the living apartm nts above
the store. He has added sixteen feet
to the rearof the building. Part of
the addition will he used to enlarge
the front of the store with an impos-
ing dispensing room in one corner. A
small room will be used for an of-
fice and another for a private consult-
ing
onsulting room. New incandescent lighting
will add to the attractiveness of the
store and a new floor covering is be-
ing laid. The living apartment has
been enlarged and a sunroom added
with western exposure. When com-
pleted Mr.. Robertson midi have a
most attractive place of business that
will be a credit to the Main Street.—

Destroyed Trees At Park
The members of the Horticultural
Society, each year go to a great deal
of trouble to beautify a section of
the park. Part of their work has
been- the planting of ornamental
trees. Recently some boys about the
age of 14 have been playing on the
finished section of the park and they
have destroyed two beautifuuil trees, a
fancy chestnut and a Norway maple.
They also have done other damage.

European Needs

On June 20th, 80,000 displaced per-
sons of Halifax treked back to their
homes, after a night and. day of ten-

During the 24-hour experience the
Red Cross supplied plentiful food,
good blankets to sleep under, and
