CATERPILLAR IS DESTROYING HEMLOCKS AT MUSKOKA A new menace to Ontario's for- est growth has been uncovered, It is the Hemlock Looper, a little green caterpillar, not much to look at, but one of the worst pests with which the Department of Forestry has ever had to deal. Right now it 1s playing havoe with hemlock timber in the Lake Joseph district, Muskoka, especi- ally around Foote's Bay, = Where it came from nobody knows, is entirely new to this Province Spotted for the first time late last summer, it is now encountered in swarms, Whole islands of hem- lock, in Lake Joseph, have liter- ally been cut to pieces hy the pest. The green of the trees has entire- ly disappeared, Only the tall, gaunt poles remain, Cottage land values have been decreased, the g¢ottagers are complaining Against the onward march of the "Looper" the Provincial and Dominion forestry experts are pit- ting their best brains, The Ento- mological Branch at Ottawa is also supplying experts to aid in the fight. A Keystone 'Puffer'--one of those tree-spraying aeroplanes --left hte Capital for Foote's Bay on Tuesday and will enpage in the warfare just as soon as the carload of calcium arsenic which the Ontario Forestry Department has shipped north as its ammuni- tion can he unloaded, A year ago the department thought it had a 'tough custom- er' to handle in the Spruce Bud Worm, This pest found its way in from Quebec, and, by attacking green shoots in the spring, did tremendous damage to certain | spruce limits, Calcium arsenic | spraying by aeroplane had to be. introduced to check {ts inroads. Now the Hemlock Looper--hal caterpillar gets its nama from its peculiar weaving motion -- has shoved the Bud Worm off the. map, so to speak, Forestry officials at Queen's Park vouch for the fact that the Looper will bite human beings. Rangers who ran a telephone line, for fire protection pukposes, through a section of the Lake Joseph country last fall encoun- tered the little green caterpillar in all its ferocity, In cutting a right .|or way through hemlock bush, sev- eral rangers had Loopers crawl in their open shirt fronts and biie them so severely about the arms and abdomen that infection set in. In the case of one man hospital attention was almost necessitated. OLD HALL A FIRE TRAP Toronto, July 20.--Fire Marshal E. P, Heaton and A, N.

At least two planes have set out from Ottawa on mysterious missions, and both have heen equipped with provisions for the rigors of a nor- thern clime, One plane started for Winnipeg Monday piloted by Stewart J, Cheeseman, of the Northern Aer- ial Explorations, Limited. It is understood that this first courier in the race to discover the possibil- ities of mineral wealth in the north will proceed from Winnipeg to The Pas and from there contin- ue east and north to Chesterfield Inlet. Another plane is piloted by Capt. Charles Sutton of the Lindsley interests was scheduled to leave yesterday. A third plane piloted by Bill Broach was to have left yesterday in the interests of, the latter company, while a fourth is rumored to be on its way to Montreal as the first leg of the journey from Long Island to the same destination in the interests of the first company. Local Views Mining men in Montreal were interviewed this morning to as- certain what mineral or minerals were responsible for the scramble to be first on the scene, From these interviews iv seems that min- eral assays of the country in ques tion show that the general miner- al deposit there is much the same, as that found in Chibougamoo in Northern Quebec, while in the richest known section of the Ches- terfield Inlet region, the Copper- mine River district, there is found a -predominance of copper, lead galena and silver. To supplement the planes that have heen dispatched to race to || death of a well-known the mineral goal, several ships have heen sent hy northwest and further supplies and instru- ments, The Morso was sent from | Halifax last week in the Lindsley | interests and was almost immedi- ately followed hy the Parley 208 | the Michael from Saint John, N. for the N.AM.E.

This was under the scheme whereby registered readers of the paper were automatically insured against accidents. Insurance for read- ers against casualities has become an immense factor recently in circula- tion-getting among the larger British newspapers. The Executive Council of the Na- tional Union of Journalists has car- ried a resolution protesting against "the attitude of certain newspapers in endeavoring to make advertising capital from the payments of insur- ance on readers who were killed in the train smash at Darlington." The resolution followed a protest from the Northern District Council oi the Union, representing 1,200 working | journalists in the North of England, which declared that the treatment of the news of the disaster by a certain Lsection of the Press "subordinates the best traditions of journalism to the aims of circulation advertisement." The protestants regarded "the means employed by certain papers on this occasion as being both derogatory to the profession of journalism and repugnant to a sense of common de- cency." Following these protests by journalists, but independently of them, the Hetton-le-Hole District Council, in whose area the disaster happened, have issued a protest on similar lines, PROF, J, T. CRAWFORD DIES Toronto, July 20.--Cable ad- vice has just been received of the Canadian educationist and author, Professor John T. Crawford, who died of heart disease in Austria while on a European tour, His death will be a great loss to the College of Edu- cation, where he was Professor of Mathematics, The late Professor Crawford was born near St. Mary's, Ont. 64 years ago, and spent his early life life on his father's farm. He re- ceived his high school education in the Hamilton Collegiate Institute, and won the first scholarship in mathematics in both matriculation and first-year examinations, Now you can buy a fountain pen with a compass in the blunt end but will it find its way home when lost.--Brandon Sun. ----------r-- - OTE ---- In the days of Cromwell fine quality tea cost as muc as thirty dollars a pound, To-day, you onl y py af a few cents more for Rose , | Orange Pekoe than for ordi- | nary tea, but you get the hi est quality and greatest | ue, Put up in clean, bright aluminum packages, CAMP BORDEN T0' BE ABANDONED AS TRAINING CAMP New Site Not Selected But Will Be in Populous Centre MANY" APPLICATIONS Airdrome at Rockcliffe Park, Ottawa, Rumored Likely Choice Ottawa, July 18.--Because it is too far removed from any popu- lous centre and also because the buildings are becoming dilapidat- ed and will cost a lot of money to replace, it was decided long ago to abandon Camp Borden as flying headquarters, but where the new site will be is not known, nor will it be for some time. Alluding to the published report that it may be in Montreal, the head of the air force yesterday said: 'There is mors reason tor saying that it will ba in Monircal than in Toronto, or Ottawa or London, or Windsor, The one certain thing, as has long been announced, is the ul'imate ahun- donment of Camp Borden, Tho new flying ground may be almost anywhere in Ontario or Quebec near to a centre of population." A big airdrome is being con- structed at Rockliffe Park in Ot- tawa where with the Ottawa Riv- er alongside, there is a base VLoth for hydro planes and airp'anes, A lot of money is being spent on this by the Government and, while there has been no such de- cision, the present chances would appear to favor Ottawa as the suce cessor' of Camp Borden, The whole force is directed from here and to have the units themselves adjacent to this city is considered a logical thing.
