E Iv Bot Flies Dectrorid ONTARIO COUNTY BOT FLY PRO- JECT SPLENDID SUCCESS Agricultural Representative W. M. Croskery reports having received statements from 15 Veterinarians who were working on the Ontario Bot Con- trol Campaign to the cffect that 7,313 horses were treated for this pest up to early February with a few more groups left to complete. The project on the whole has been very satisfactory and its success is very largely due to excellent co-opera- tion by the farmers themselves, Key- men in every school section were a wonderful help in getting communities lined up and ready for the Veterinar- ians. The County Livestock Commit- tee were fortunate in their choice of key-men. The cost of the treatment to the farmers was as low as anywhere else in the Province where organized work was carried on. Veterinarians deserve credit for getting hehind the Cam- paign in a whole-hearted way. The Carbon bi-sulphide treatment! has proven very efficient not only in the removal of Bots but also in the re- moval of worms. Many farmers report horses doing better since treatment. It will be inter- esting to note to what extent the fly nuisance next summer will be reducea as a result of so many horses being treated.

It was decided, also, to carry on a series of Township meetings through- out the County at which the Treating of Cattle for Warbles would be dealt with in some detail. In order to make these Township meetings of more gen- eral interest it was decided to have a special speaker from the Crops Branch at Toronto, at each of the meetings to discuss Field Crops. Farmers are invited to attend their Township meetings and every cattle man's co-operation is wanted in the County Wide Clean-up of the Heel Fly/ Pest.

It's fascinat- ing sport, too. MAY as well be frank about it. Until a few months ago I had the notion, shared by a good many other folks, that home movies were (1) expensive, (2) difficult, and (8) not very good, anyway. And then Bill, a friend of mine, got a movie outfit, Neither he nor his family can be classed as wealthy, or anything like it, but there he was --sporting a movie camera. Natur- ally, I was curious, : The camera itself was about the gize of a small book. Slid into a top- coat pocket without any fuss at all. It was neat as the proverbial pin and about as simple. Bill showed me how to run it. You merely heldj it up, aimed it as you would a gun, pressed a button--and you are mak- ing movies. Oh, of course, there was a spring to wind and a lens aperture to set, but it was any amount sim- pler than my favorite snapshot cam- era. Even the loading was easy. That particular camera, as Ire- call it, cost about $40. It used 8 mh: film and held enough-to allow for a couple dozen full-length shots--each shot long enough to show, for ex ample, a sensational football play, from the snap of the ball to the end of a fifty-yard run, forward pass in- cluded, All that on about ten cents' worth of film, : Movie film, I learned, 1s really retty. cheap to begin with and oubly #0 when you consider that the purchase price i cludes the cost of finishing lorie, b PN pore? the manufac- A i wl turers Well, I revised my notions of movies, as to cost and difficulty, MOVIES? promptly. And when I saw v the fin- ished movies, a week later, I got all over the idea that amateur movies weren't very good. Bill's were ex-" cellent. And he's only an average Does) a snapshooter like the rest of us. I'm passing all this on merely for your consideration. Movies, at their best, will never in this world take the place of good snapshots. The snapshot camera has a charm all its own. But there's no reason at all why snapshooters shouldn't take up movies, too. For, obviously, movies can do things that still cameras can- not. They can get the whole of a bit of action instead of merely a part of it. As far as sechniealitios are con- cerned, anyone who has mastered the essentials of snapshooting can take up the modern _movié camera without a qualm. Bill has permitted me to make a number of movie shots and I'm both surprised and delighted with the results. I'll get me an outfit. I find that there are two standard sizes for amateur-mnovie film--=8 mil- limeter and 16 millimeter (Holly- wood uses 35 millimeter film.) Nat- urally, costs are less in the 8 mm. class than in. the 16, but even the 16 mm. outfits are surprisingly rea- sonable in both first and operating costs. Of course, you can spend a great deal of money on special equip- ment, but it's not at all necessary. By the way, -with- certain 16 mim, ion pictiares in,' gomething we. outfits you can get a full color, That' snapshooters can't quite do, to date.
