Chairman C. W. Riley of the Board of Works, read a communication from the Department of Agriculture that had been received by the weed inspector. This letter gave informa­ tion regarding regulations of the Weed Control Act. and stated that where weeds were prevalent that were not designated as "noxious”, the weed inspector could not demand their destruction.

Mr. Riley stated further that Mr. Smith had stated that the pond will again be filled with water when repairs are made to the dam. Oxford Avenue residents were again before the council with their request for fire protection.

A letter from Maurice Wilson is published herewith: 20th August, 1944 Dear Friends: Just a few lines once again to thank you for the paper each week and also to thank everyone for the smokes I have been receiving. It really is nice to read about the news from home and find out how the boys are doing over here. "Lefty” Cade joined this outfit quite some time ago and is doing fine and would like to be remembered to all and the same goes for Bob James. I don't see many of the fellows from home very often as all the leaves I get J spend with my wife who has been over here in the CW.A.C. for three months, and be­ lieve me it was really nice to see her. The war sure does look good for us and I feel sure now that it won’t be very long until we are all home again and it can’t come soon enough. Well I guess this will be all for this time so I will sign off and thanks again for the cigarettes and paper. Yours, Maurice (Red) Wilson.

Canadian Legion HeldLargely AttendedDecoration Service OXFCMU) aad NEARBYCOUNTY ITEMS perienced. Damage, however, has been reported as comparatively slight in view of the intensity of the storm, which raged without inter­ ruption for a considerable time. The Ingersoll Telephone Company reported they have a total of about 100 phones out of commision locally and in the Embro area, and it was stated there would likely be a full restoration of service in the course of a couple of days. Rural hydro lines also were seriously affected by lightning, and in the absence of power, many farmers were compelled to do their milking by hand. At 6.30 Monday morning, lightning struck the belfry of the town hall, ripping off a few pieces of boards and killing several pigeons and a number of starlings. A maple tree less than a block away from the town hall was struck by lightning but not seriously damaged. For a short per­ iod early in the morning, the light* ing service of the town was inter­ rupted by lightning, but in no case was the damage said to be severe. The rainfall here and throughout the district was very heavy. A 1500 K-W Transformer was burnt but during the storm on» Mon­ day morning at the substation on Mill street. This'leaves the Public Utilities Commission with a consid­ erable overload and some of the factories are co-operating in shutting down early to relieve peak. Request that power be conserved as much as possible has been made. The trans­ former has been shipped away, but it is not known how long it will take to get it into operation again. Steps are being taken to ob­ tain an auxiliary transformer and it is hoped that one will.be in service in a few days. Recruit—"Can you lend me 10 bob?

Lost with the barn was the sea­ son's grain and hay. Threshing was completed last week. Also lost in the flames were 12 calves and a bull. Many neighbors attracted by the flames, went to the scene and Em- bro’s new fire engine had a workout. With good work by the latter and the volunteers, a second large build­ ing was saved. Mr. St. Clair had insurance on the burned property but it is understood this will not cover the loss. In the asme storm a horse on the farm of Glen Monteith, a mile east of Embro, was also struck by light­ ning and killed. The animal was the open when hit.in St James’ Disking Club Enjoy Evening of Fun A most enjoyable affair was spon­ sored by the St. James’ Church Disking Club on Wednesday evening of last week, when some 60 members and friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilson, North Town Line, where? a huge bon fire was presided over by Harry Burton, James Brewer and Sam Crane.

Eradication of Malaria After War Visualised Elimination of malaria in civilized countries of the world after the war, with the aid of atarbmine, a synthetic quinine substitute, is visualized in an official report by the U. S. National Research Council’s Board for the Co-ordination of Malaria Studies. Large-scale production of quinine or totaquine, a form of quin­ ine, is not now considered import­ ant for the management of malaria in armed forces personnel, the board reports. “The pstwar world, with the knowledge now available about this drug, (atabrine) and on methods of malaria prevention, should be able to eliminate malaria from every civ­ ilized nation. That would be, indeed, a blessing derived from the most des­ tructive and costly war the world has ever known.” Diphtheria Tragedy Basis of Radio Presentation The true story of a Canadian wihch lost five children to diphtheria within a fqw days of each other, is presented in one of a number of radio programs prepared by the Health League of Canada and soon to be distributed to radio stations throughout the country.

In support of public-health pro­ grams, the Health League is also sponsoring National Immunization Week, September 10 to 16, during which parents will be urged to pro­ tect their children against diphtheria, whooping cough, smallpox and scar­ let fever.

Other fruit stains can be re­ moved from cotton and linen by boiling water. Stretch the stained part over a bowl, fasten with string, and pour boiling water on it from a that's too pinky, to a few rules professional models fol­ low when selecting that most import­ ant eosmetK1. face powder. First, water strikes the stain with force. If a stain remains, sqease a little lemon juice on it and place in the sun to dry. Or use a chemical bleach such as javel water, first testing the material to see that the bleach does not fade it. To remove steins of citrus fruits, such as grapefruit and lemon, it’s usually enough to wash the material in warm water and soapy- rich suds. If the acid in the citrus fruits has changed the colour of the doth, restore it by holding the damp­ ened stain over an open bottle of strong ammonia water. Are you handy with needle thread? Here's a tip borrowed from New York's smartest career girls. Next time you plan a housecoat or chic cotton frock, buy unbleached muslin. Take it home and beforeayou make it up, dye it any colougryou like. Not only is the unbleached and not shade name. Remember, the natural or racket shade in one brand may not b* the same in another. Second, if you di» not use a make-up base, choose a .-diode that is almost identical with your akin colouring— harmonising with either the yellow­ ish or pinkish tones in your skin. Third, if you use a tinted make-up base, you can choose a powder dar­ ker or lighter than your akin. To avoid a “patchy'* effect, however, never put a dark powder over a light foundation. Here, too, the necessity of a clean akin is important. A good whipped cream lather facial with your favourite beauty soap before foundation or make-up base produces a healthy glow that gives your make­ up that dear, transparent look. Last, for extra glamour, remember you can wear a lighter shade of powder at night than in the daytime. If you cannot decide between two shades of powder, make a half-face test, powdering half of your face with each sample. Then you can see for yourself which shade gives your skin a finer texture and fresher appearance. First mess call in France for the C.WA.C.'s. Lined up with themen are Pte. H.

M oderate Pricefl Now is the time for Ontario house­ wives to secure their peaches for canning. During this week, the “V” peaches will be at their best, and should be secured for canning pur­ poses before the above date, says George Wilson, Director of the Fruit Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. This year there is a plentiful supply of veteran, Valiant and Vedette peaches, which are ideal for canning, but these will within the next week, and peaches must be canned when they are' ripe, they should be bought and canned during the next few days. The Elberta peaches will be ready around September 14 to 16, but in­ dications are that there will not be as large a crop' of that variety, which, according to Mr. Wilson, makes it all the more necessary that housewives desiring to can peaches take advantage, of the large crop of the “V" varieties, and secure their supplies at once. Care should be taken to see that peaches, are fully ripe before fanning, so that they will be at their best, with all the luscious, delightful flavour which makes the Ontario peach one of the finest of fruits for canning purposes. little suit should find IAB8X* prepa** um uii OkTS BLENDED «r &PDUTVINEGAR ....plus use DErcarr on jug.* WMOIJi; MIXEDPICKLING SPICE . wwou : 'CHILLIES - - . - 144 MUSTARD SEED - 14^ TURMERIC - - - H4b. 12* CELERY SEED ■ - W b, 18* DURHAM MUSTARD «-». 10* OBOUNDCINNAMON - - 2nm.

Keep the flavour of late Kammer fru-u by storing them in a cool place—pre­ ferably the refrigerator. Do not store tec much raw fruit for a long period. Usv the ripest ones first. It is a wise precaution to keep any strong flav­ oured foods away from fresh fruit. In the preparation of fruit such as peaches, pears, and apples. drop in salted u-ater as soon as peeled to pre­ vent discolouration. Mix with citric fruits if these fruits have to “stand” for soma time. PEACH COFFEE CAKE Cream 2 tbsps shortening and 1-4 cup sugar. Add 1 beaten egg. Sift together 1 2-3 cups flour, 1-2 tap. salt and 2 tape, baking powder. Add alternately to creamed mixture with 1-2 cup milk. Mix just until blended. Pour into greased pie-plate.

To Pay 20 Cento Bag For Milkweed Pods For Armed Forces On vacant lota. on farms and akrng roadsides in Western Ontario, there are available about 200,000,900 milkeed pods for which the Agricul­ tural Supplies Board, Ottawa, is prepared to pay school children or anyone else who will collect them, 20 cents a bag for dried pods. The floss from the pods of milkweed is now urgently required for making life preservers and other buoyant material for the armed forces of the United Nations. It has been found to be an effective substitute for Kapok, supplies of which came from countries in the South Pacific Ocean until they were occupied by the Jap­ anese. The collection of the milkweed pods must be done within the next few weeks. The Agricultural Supplies Board is providing special bags to schools and those willing to gather milk­ weed pods this autumn. These are open-mesh-sacks, such as are used for marketing onions, carrots, oranges and grapefruit and will allow for the drying of the pods without the precious floss blowing away. One bag will hold about 800 pods. It is estim­ ated there are about 235,000 bags of pods growing on milkweed plants in the south-western counties of On­ tario. If all these are gathered up, enough floss will be obtained to make more than 100,000 life jackets. Milkweed seems to grow more abundantly and vigorously in some sections of the country than in others. The counties in the southern peninsula of Ontario, notably, Essex, Kent, Lambton, Elgin and Norfolk have abundant stands growing natur­ ally. The region between Lake Sim­ coe and Georgian Bay, including all of Simcoe and adjoining areas, could produce 75,000 bags of pods alone, if all are picked. Not only in the country but even near the cities there are plenty of pods for child­ ren and townspeople to gather. Many of the vacant lots and fields on the outskirts of Toronto and throughout its suburbs are polluted by this rank­ growing wonderweed. Five thousand bags are available in the suburban districts of Toronto, between New Toronto and Dunbarton, alone. Only a little effort and willingness to help is required to harvest the pods. They should not be picked until some of the seeds inside the pod are brown, but they must be gathered before THE INliEHSUl.I. TRIBUNE. rHDKSllAV^gggLIJStePAOOtlNC ON OTTAWA M Vf« Bt. Hon.

Information on where to get bags and where to bring your filled bags may be obtained from Agricultural Representatives, School Inspectors and teachers, Boy Scouts and Girl Guide leaders, or from the Agricul­ tural Supplies Board, Confederation Building, Ottawa.

Longer Time Needed To Repair Furnaces In many parts of Canada frost is less than amonth away. In all parts of ‘the country it is lesa than two months away. Yet there are thous­ ands of home furnaces which need repairs that have not yet been or­ dered and some of which are not going to be made in time, warns a bulletin of the 'Canadian Institute Plumbing and Heating. of Plumbing and Heating, busy today—busier than they haye ever been before. Skilled help' is hard to get and becoming scarcer. Tools and materials are both subject to stringent priorities. Consequently, it simpty,.takes . jonger to get work domr' than it did before and it is a tribute to the plumbing industry that they are able to do the magnifi­ cent job they are doing under pres­ ent day difficulties. To help relieve the situation and to assist householders in getting the service they will need before starting their furnaces again, the Institute suggests the following procedure: (iy Go over your, furnace to see what repairs you'will need. (2) Give a list of these points to your heating contractor to use as d eck list when he makes his eflaminalon. (3) Agree to let him make the repairs whenever they wiU fit best into his work schedule and (4) get all this started immediately.

This group also makes a point of visiting families whose sons and husands have fallen Jn battle overseas, offering comfort and prayer wherever needed. On the third of September, 1939, a patriotic group of women sprang into action, the Red Shield Women’s Auxiliary. From a humble beginning, with their workroom in a downtown office building in Toronto, this or­ ganization has grown until it now includes 50,000 in 1400 groups across the country. Their purpose from the beginning of the war, has been to provide essential comforts for ser­ vicemen, and also to assist victims of the British blitz by providing cloth­ ing of all kinds to young and old alike. Since the beginning of the present war, more than a million garments have been passed through their hands. The Salvation Army has been charged with assisting in the cloth­ ing feeding and reuniting of families of Europe who have suffered so heavily under the Nazi heel. Their co-operation has been sought by the Canadian Government, and already extensive plans are in progress to cope with the tremendous problem of practical and immediate relief for the helpless sufferers of Occu­ pied Europe// The Red Shield Wo­ men’s Aux4hry is now in the pro­ cess of expecting and shipping over­ seas onr and a half million garments, which will be stored—ready-for-use —on the day peace is declared.

Indeed as more fronts open up, calling for more naval bombardments as a ”softening-up’* treatment pre­ paratory to our land and air forces going into action and calling for more fighters to be transported and more goods to be transported, the life of the merchant seaman and sailor becomes more strenuous if that is possible.

Men of the Seas Must Go On To The End “I Jiave always held the view that no matter what may happen in any other theatre of war, Germany must continue her attacks on our shipping to the end." This statement of the Hon. Angus L. Masdonald, Minister of Defence, Navel Affairs Branch made a short time ago, sounded a note of caution in an otherwise optimistic review of what the future held for Canada’s navy and served to indicate that for the men of the seas in the Royal Canadian Navy or the' Canadian Merchant Service, there can be no let-up in the work planned for them and no cessation or easing of the vigilance and fighting qualities they THE INGERSOLL THIHUNE.

Mrs. Simister had • been in failing health for some time and for the last two weeks her condition had taken a more serious turn. Possessing a very quiet and kindly nature!1 Mrs. Simister had endeared herself to a .very large ,circle of friends. She was one of the earlier members of Lady Dufferin Chapter I. O.D.E., and was also a member of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. Left to mourn the passing of a dearly beloved mother are three sons, Wray and W. M.

OUTSTANDING BED CROSSSERVICE IN THIS .WARVndoubtedly «'ii* of the best aer-vUaa Red Crow is rendering to this*»r is that uf wnlcnmtng members ofthe Forres returning Kame to Canuda. Canadian Legion works witsRed Cross in giving service on al"troop trains. But the meeting ofhospital, and wives and dependents'!trains was made the special responsi­bility of Red Crew by the Depart­ ment of National Defence. Repatri­ ates are also extended thia service- Every Red Crass branch is taking advantage of the opportunity to welcome into its own community im­ mediately on arrival, it own return­ ing citizens and the wives and child­ ren of its own men of the fighting forces who are finding new homes here. Since April, Red Cross conducting officers have travelled on all such trains. And a man, whether of the Navy, Army or Air Force, if he is is wounded or returning to Canada because of a lowered category, or for duty over here, is supplied the same service, which begins when a Liaison Officer boards the ship at Halifax. V. C, Qrompton, Ontario Division’s Liaison Officer reports that all branches of Red Cross service are represented when the ships dock. A Red Cross mobile canteen with ice cream, doughnuts, coffee, oranges, is at the gangplank and V.A.D.’S of the Nursing Auxiliary of the Corps hand out these greatly appreciated treats. Red Cross personnel stand by till the ship is cleared of all passen­ gers. Another mobile canteen offers hot coffee and sandwiches at train­ side. En route the conducing officers assist the boys in sprucing them­ selves up for the many stops, and do a hundred little acts of kindness. On arrival at Military District Headquarter points, Kingston, To­ ronto and London, conducting offi­ cers remain on hand until all the men are settled. Red Cross vehicles are always present; ambulances, busses, station wagons and staff cars. When a boy has to remain in hospi­ tal, this information^ is wired by Red Cross to his family. Then the Hospital Visiting Committee will keep in touch with him until he is sent home. Thus it is a coast-to- coast service which Red Cross pro­ vides. Corps girls look after the nursery, canteen and rest room at Halifax dock; go on board ship and take down particulars of destination of the wives; tag all the children. They escort the mothers and babies to the nursery, and babies are fed and bathed while mothers relax in com­ fortable lounge rooms adjoining, where refreshments are served by the Corps. At train time babies are returned to their mothers and all are driven to the station by Trans­ port section. Then members of the Corps act as conducting officers on the wives’ trains from port to destin­ ation. Nursing Auxiliary, Halifax detachment, accompany the mothers and children to Montreal, where they are met by Toronto detachment;; taken to a Red Cross Center. At the Toronto Rest Center, Emergency Reserve takes charge. The same system operates over Western lines through to British Col­ umbia. From Toronto or any of the other big dispersal pointe, Red Cross wires the Canadian Irin. And Red Cross aids assist with luggage. At those points where the travellers wait between trains, reception cen­ ters have been organized. Here they may rest in comfort, and overnight hospitality is arranged when nec­ essary. St Paul's W.M.S. Plan Thankoffering The St. Paul's Auxiliary of the W.M.S. of St, Paul’s Presbyterian Church, met on Tuesday afternoon. The president, Mrs. A. Yule, was in the chair. Following the opening de­ votional, Mrs. Arnott gave a splen­ did review of the "Glad Tidings." Mrs. J. M. Malcolm reviewed an in­ teresting part of the study book which dealt with Dr. Wilkie's Mission at Gwalior. The reports of the committees were received and arrangements were discussed for the fall thank- offering.

Cycling For Health and Enjoyment Cycling in Canada's national parks has increased In popularity owing largely to the shortage of automobile tires and gasoline. But cycling will always be an effective means of en­ joying the scenery, the flower-scen­ ted atmosphere, and the wonders of nature for which these parks are justly .famous. Cyclists can see and hear and feel the -country as they fide silently along Ute smooth-sur­ faced roads in a way that would not be possible from the inside of a dosed car. * Not only Canadians but many visit­ ors from the United States are using their bicycles for sight-seeing in the parks. Recently a party of ten mem­ bers of the American Youth Hoktels Incorporated, passed through Ed­ monton by train on their way to Jasper National Park. They brought along their own bicycles in order to cycle from Jasper to Calgary ovqr the new Banff-Jasper Highway. This famous scenic road, which links two of Canada’s greatest national parks, runt through 186 miles of some of the most magnificent Alpine scenery in North America. At one point the road skirts the Athabaska Glacier, part of the great Columbia Icefield, and here the cyclists may halt for a rest and e'njoy the refreshing exper­ ience of walking out on the ice in midsummer. Even the thought of it when men and women are toiling in office, factory, and workshop at tem­ peratures around 90* has a cooling effect. Autumn is perhaps the most de­ lightful time of the year for cycling in the national parks. The woods along the park highways are a riot of colour—orange, gold, green, crimson, and many other widely variegated combinations which nature blends into a harmonious pattern. Big game come down to the roadside, bird life seems more abundant than ever as the southern migration gets under way. The midsummer heat has pass­ ed, and the days, though Shortening, ar bright and crisp. Fish *re biting well and the mosquito plague has largely disappeared. Thia is the time the camera hunter reaps the richest harvest of special "trophies” for his snapshot album. This is also the season of the ‘VHunter’d Moon”, but in the parks that mean hunting with a camera. Post-war developments in .Canada’s national parks envisage a teonsider- able extension of facilities for ac­ commodating hikers and cyclists and trail riders. At the present time, however, accommodation and cater­ ing are restricted in many of the parks owing to the demands of war on Canada's diminishing labour sup­ ply. Cyclists who are contemplating a tour of the national parks should therefore, first make inquiries from the (National Parks Bureau at Ot­ tawa, or the Superintendent at the park which they intend to visit in or­ der to ascertain whether or not they may travel "light” or must take along with them much of their own food and camping equipment DORCHESTER y Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Millard and sons of Foldeh’s Corners, spent Sun­day the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Herb.OTNeiLMr. and Mrs. J.

Hon. C. G. Gibson, has given the inform­ ation that less persons had been assessed on incomes over $10,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1943, than four years ago. Indeed, this information has shown that there had been 11,816 persons assess­ ed on incomes over $10,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1940, with their fotal income assessed hav­ ing been $240,822,300 and taxes assessed having been $38,643,690. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 1943, there had been only 8,038 per­ sons in Canada with such high in­ comes over $10,000 and their total income assessed had $164,190,051, though assessed had been only $51,132,479. been only the taxes CURIOSITY ABOUT COMPOSITION There has been much curiosity about the composition of the 1st Canadian Army in France and the Minister of National Defence, Hon. J. L. Ralston, has indicated that the 1st Canadian Army in France was composed as he had forecasted that it would be composed in a speech in Ottawa about seven months ago, when he stated in part that the 1st Canadian Army would be an organiz­ ation consisting of a headquarters and army troops, supporting, servic-. ing and directing two or more corps. LEGALITY OF MEASURE In view of the nationwide interest in the family allowances measure of the federal Governent, it can be stated that behind the reports about allegations that this measure may not be constitutional, nor legal, there has been the opinion of the Minister of Justice, Hon. Louis St. Laurent, who has been recognized as a high legal authority, on his own personal qualifications prior to his entry into the King Cabinet in Ot­ tawa. He has also offered two opin­ ions of a former Deputy Minister of Justice, W. Stuart Edwards, to sup­ port this view. In 1925, he gave the opinion that the Federal Government MEN and WOMEN ARE URGENTLY i l A l I HNEEDED N U V I ! to save essential fax l crops now ready for harvesting TOMATO PICKERS PEACH PICKERS APPLE PICKERS GRAPE PICKERS ■’ho will work those who remain ig. 15 to Oct ig. 15 to Sept. 23 pt. 15 to Oct. 20 pt. 15 to Oct. 31 One-way transportation a minimum of one mon Return transportation p until the end of picking Pleasant outdoor work with good wages nnd an opportunity to serve on the food front are avail­ able to hundreds of men and women of Ontario VOLUNTWl FOR THE FOOD FRONT Mrs. Betty Spry, wife of Maj.-Gen.

The Federal Government’s answer has been given in an Order-in-Council in Ottawa. This Order-in-Council has granted certain wnnua) increases in wages ranging from $60 to $180 for letter carriers, postal clerks, mail porters, chauffeurs, garagemen, garage fore­ men, and railway mail clerks, with about 8,000 of these employees hav­ ing been affected by these increases in wages. —(Reproduction Prohi­ bited.)

In 1930, there was the opinion that, if the Federal Govern­ ment had established a voluntary sy­ stem of family allowances and paid all funds out of its own treasury, it would be valid, though a contribu­ tory or compulsory system that took contributions from employers or em­ ployee would be within provincial jurisdiction. It has been reported in Ottawa that plans have been considered and arranged for a coming new "Victory Loan’* campaign this fall, with the possibility that the object­ ive of (his new drive for funds being larger than in the past as events in­ dicate that victory is in sight. In the last "Victory Loan** drive in May, 1944, almost $1,400,000,000 had been raised and the Govern­ ment’s budgetary needs for current fiscal year had been stated to be about $3,200,000,000 so that there has been a difference of about $1,- 800,000,000. An Order-in-Council in Ottawa has extended the War Veterans* Allow­ ance Act so that veterans of this war have been included on the same terms as veterans of the last war when these veterans had suffered dis­ abilities which did not allow them to be pensionable but which rendered them unable to provide for themsel­ ves. Then again, this Order-In-Coun­ cil has also included amongst other things under its provisions, those who had served in this war or the last war even when this service was not in an actual theatre of war. CANADA’S MERCHANT SHIPS While there was no decision of a definite policy for the future, par­ ticularly whether these ships should be operated by the Government or by private individuals or companies, yet the man-in-the-street across Canada will be most interested to learn that it has been indicated by the Minister of Transport, Hon. J. E. Michaud, that at the end of this year this country will have about 300 merchant ships, though before this war there were only 37, with the hope having been expressed that most of these ships will be used for carrying Can­ ada’s products or trade abroad. Some of these ships were leased and oper­ ated by Canada’s Allies and others were operated by Crown companies or by Canadian National Steamships. "I still believe that all our merchant ships will be needed pnd will be operated after the war, but, as to a definite policy governing the fu­ ture, that has not yet been decided by the Government,” he said in part No Reflectfon-^-It was the usual rush and bustle of washing and shaving in camp in the early, still dark hours.

They have increased WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THIS MILK? In spite of greater production, thedemand for milk and milk products (a) There’s more money to spend; (b) More people are working, withchanged food habits and in­creased food needs; (c) Our Armed Forces and Alliesmake heavy demands. It has therefore beenby rationing, by subsidies,careful planning and bycontrols—to divert our miply into channels mostour various food needs.

A system of rotationdesigned t0 check rootrot and to pro­tect the soil from deterioration byintermediate crops, combined with adequate applications of fertilizer and manure apparently is the only way to maintain permanently the productive capacity of these light tobacco soil* Rotation of crop*, re­ plenishment of spent organic matter and the application of enough plant nutrients are three primary essen­ tials for establishing and maintain­ ing their fertility. A well planned rotation not only can be managed to supply fresh or­ ganic material to the soil but also can be adjusted to reduce and check disease infestation. Recent experi­ ments have shown that unless this is done fertiliser applications may fall to give the desired crop response. For instance, a standard fertilizer - application has been found to be more effective in the tobacco-rye ro­ tation than when tobacco is grown continuously. A light manure appli­ cation also is more effective-in the , two year rotation than when tobacco . is grown year after year on the same , field. But even with enough manure , and fertilizers, the yield of tobacco on old fields under the tobacco-rye | system is less than that obtained on similar adjacent new tend. The con- s. elusion derived from all these re- ■ i suits and observations is that rootrot can depress yeilds to an unprofitable ’ basis regardless of how much fer- . tilizer or manure is applied. The only remedy at present for such soil ' conditions is to reduce the amount of rootrot by using a longer rotation because no suitable resistant fluc- ’ cured variety is now available. In an attempt to obtain a solution I for this complex problem a new set r of rotation experiments was begun this year at the .Dominion Experi- , mental Tobacco Substation located ■ near Delhi, Ontario. It is hoped that ;some of these longer new rotations combined with cerain cropping prac- > tices ultimately will become an effect- 1 ive means of reducing the prevalence of black rootrot, increasing the or­ ganic matter content of the soil and establishing the production of flue- cured tobacco in the present areas on a more permanent basis. This general proposition is of considerable economic importance because the amount of good flue-cured tobacco land and suitably located in Canada is extremely limited. For more inform­ ation regarding rotations for flue- cured tobacco, growers are invited to visit the Delhi Station or the nearest Dominion Experimental Station when it is convenient. rro«K PHONE -tucrfD in ail S-M-l chief* Bath Set.

A , feature of the 1944 outlook is the (much more favourable crop prospects | in Ontario and parts of Quebec. This . will make these two provinces less (dependent on feed grain supplies ( from the Prairie Provinces in the , twelve months that lie ahead. Reserve stocks built up from the big 1942 harvest have largely dis­ appeared as the result of heavy feeding at home during the pas* two years and liberal exports of oats, barley and wheat to the United States, but the weather in 1944 h.-% been reasonably good and the very unpromising, start of the 1944 sea­ son later gave way to more favour­ able prospects. Not only is the indicated supply of grains adequate for the new sea­ son now getting under way, but a more favourable situation prevails with respect to supplies of high pro­ teins. The Feeds Administrator has warned that this improvement in sup­ plies of high proteins should not be the signal for extravagant or waste­ ful practices, pointing out that under wartime conditions surpluses can without warning very quickly disap- i pear. He has further indicated that ■ supplies in the coming year may be ■ channeled more to the field of dairy 1 production with less emphasis now . being placed on further extension of i the poultry industry, which has in the past enjoyed a big share of these high protein supplies. By Proclamation published in the , Canada Gazette the week commen­ cing Sunday, October 8 and ending , Saturday October 14, 1944, has been appointed “Fire Prevention Week” in Canada. Authoritative statistics compiled by the Dominion Fire Com­ missioner show that during the past ten years 470,000 fires in the Domin­ ion have destroyed insurable prop­ erty valued at more than 1264,000,- 000 and that during the same period 2,869 persons lost their lives, and at least 10,000 others have been seri­ ously injured as the result of fire. As pointed out in the Proclama­ tion, humanitarian, wartime, and ec­ onomic considerations demaiid that human life and material resources in Canada be so far as possible con­ served in order that Canada’s war effort be unobstructed and the gen­ eral welfare of the people may be increased. Towards this end, the Proclamation recommends that at some time dur­ ing the week, as may be found most practicable, the following methods of fire prevention should be carried out: That all residential, assembly, in­ stitutional, commercial and indus­ trial buildings be carefully inspected and all conditions likely to cause or promote the spread of fire removed; That all farm buildings and their surrounding*, elevator*, and ware­houses be carefully inspected and allfire hazard* remedied so as to safe­ guard vital food supplies; That fire drills be held schools, institutions, and factories in order ' that a greater degree of safety be ensured by acquainting the occupants with the best and mokt expeditious way* of exit in time of danger, and that special instruction on the subject of fire prevention be given by the teachers and by munici­ pal officials in the schools; That all legislation and regulations enacted or issued by the Dominion, Provincial, or Municipal authorities dealing with fire prevention be given publicity by the municipal officials, and that by public meetings, the press, radio broadcasts, specially-pre­ pared motion pictures, or otherwise as may seem most fit, endeavour be made to impress upon the citizens the national importance of safe­ guarding life and property from loss by fire. Now is the time to look around to make certain that not a single pre­ ventable cause of fire will be over­ looked. has just completed his tour, visited10 major targets in Germany. in­eluding Berlin, and "was never called on to Are hi* guns. “We had fighters make a pans at us from time to time,” he says, "but our skipper (F/L John “Sharpy” Keane of Orono, Ont), was really hot stuff at evasive action.” In his admiration for the skipper, the 24-year-old gunner is joined <t<y the other crew members, F/O.
