This is the insect which makes the hrown streaks all through the flesh of the apples, re- ducing their value and often spoiling them completely. The caused by a fly which lays its cgys under the skin of the apple. It breeds in large numbers in every neglected apple orchard, or wild apple trees and hawthorns, as well as in poorly spray- Being a fly, it spreads easily from tree to tree, and from orchard to orchard. Few people understand that the fly flits about a week before starting to lay eggs. During this time, where proper spraying has been done, it laps up enough poison from the leaves or fruit to kill it. But here is the "fly in the ointment". Flies already ma- ture and laying eggs come from those neglected trees and hawthorns al- ready mentioned, and many eggs are laid before they too lap up enough poison to kill. In the meantime the damage has been done. © damage is In 1943, through the combination of wet weather, poor spraying, neglected _ orchards and hawthorns, 68 per cent of all commercial orchards in Ontario were infested, more or less seriously, with this pest, causing much loss to growers, and much of it beyond our control. We apple growers are in much the same position with regard to the apple maggot, or railroad the sheep raiser who is continually wor- ried lest stray dogs molest his flock. The "law says that dogs, if caught, must be destroyed . The law also says that apple trees and haw- thorns within 500 yards of a commer- cial orchard must either be properly sprayed for the maggot fly, or de- stroyed. Few men like to invoke the law; they would much prefer neigh- worm, as such borly co-operation, After all) the fruit borne on /méylected trees is seldom of much Lane, even for home use, With a fuel shortage looming up for next winter, these old trees would help out with the fuel supply, and apple wood makes splendid fuel. Apple spend large every year for spray material, to say nothing of the time required to apply the spray, and it is very discouraging that through no fault of their own, providing that spraying has been well done, the crop has been damaged by this pest coming in from outside. growers sums We, therefore, are appealing for co- operation so that we can defeat this pest, and it is only through that co- operation from neighbours and by thorough, timely spraying on our own part, that it can be dgne. We really need this help. Yours sincerely, A. A. Knight, Ashburn. i PYRE Ei i Bel - ALARM A RX NETHER JEVRATY Eh SER AR | PSA #4) : iF X Re g HEN ' A = ' PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 22nd, 1844 r---- a -- S---------------------------- ---- ------. ---- --en 0 § tl nts rnd.

He was the young- est son of the late Thomas Cartér and Jane Hood, who were pioneer settlers just east of Whitevale, where he was born, and spent most of his younger vears, About 29 years ago he moved to Scugog Island, where he made his home with his nephew, Russell Carter, He was married to Ellen Locke, who predeceased him thirty-eight years ago, He leaves to mourn, one daughter, Louise who resides in To- ronto, also one grandson in the Royal Navy, now stationed at Halifax, also one brother Mr. Benjamin Carter, of Green River. Funeral services were held in Tor- onto, with interment in the Whitevale Cemetery, six nephews acting as some pallbearers. Myrtle Station Rev. P. L. Jull, 'of Brooklin, de- livered a very fine address to his Myrtle congregation on Sunday after- noon. Several babies were to be bap- tized and Mr. Jull spoke on "Family Life", He touched briefly on every phase of it -- pioneer and modern-- stressing christianity as the basis for a happy and successful home life. There was much in it to provoke thought and also much that we "could all bring into practice, The babies baptizéd were as follows and were not fussed by the unusual surround- ing: Gay Robert Mitchell, little son of Arthur and Mrs. Mitchell; Norman Albert Eyers, little son of Albert and Mrs. Eyers; Allen Stewart Alls, baby son of Stewart and Mrs. Alls; Hilda Ruth McCartney and Gladys Carol McCartney, tide daughter of Pte.

Saywell, of Oshawa, will talk to us and 'special numbers will be sung by the scholars.

The Seagrave Orchestra presented their concert in the community hall on Thursday evening, The attendance was not as large as could be expected from an area as large as our district. The proceeds were to swell the funds of our Women's Association, better known as the Ladies' Aid--that in- domitable, indefatigable group of Church women, the country over, who are ever ready to beg, to scrape, toil and sweat in order to meet' the re- quirements deemed necessary for the upkeep of their church. They are the ones who might'be termed "the pillars of the church". One good man, at some time, said, "We're proud of our church from the pulpit up to the spire; but when I see those women work to raise the cash that lacks, I somehow feel the church is built on women's tired backs, and sometimes I can't help thinking when we reach the re- It Canada and the United Nations had depended upon "Armchair Soldiers" to fight this war, the Nazis and Japs would have grabbed this country long ago. ) OF Or, WEAR IT ON YOUR ARM VOLUNTEER TO-DAY : JOIN THE CANADIAN ARMY B t | '©. ou should voluateer for overseas b= ; = There is no "Royal.

FOR OVERSEAS SERVICE gion blest, the men will have to toil and sweat and the Ladies' Aid the rest." But we are digressing from our subject, the program. It was good. Mrs, C. Sleep deserves much appreciation and credit for her pa- tience and tact in training that group of young people. We agree that they are old enough to understand just how much their orchestra means to théir community; but we still persist about the appreciation and credit due their leader, We pay tribute to every mem- ber from the pianist, a former Myrtle : ; girl, to thé' drummer boy. In the ab- sence of our own'pastor, Rev, Harold Lester of Seagrave, who came with his young people, acted as chairman and contributed a good vocal number. Mrs. Clarke, also a soloist, sang a much appreciated patriotic song. Glen Wanamaker made everyone laugh as he told how, when he was ill, he visit- ed specialists of all kinds; surgeons' and even a horse-doctor when he was a little hoarse. Finally he thought of his. own "general practitioner" whose diagnosis and' charge so astounded him by their simplicity that he de- cided in futureeto consult him when feeling under the weather. Little Marilyn Scott .delighted her audience with two vocal solos and encores. Her voice, for a four year old, is unusual- ly sweet, true and unstrained. And, by the way, Marilyn had especially 'fond listeners in the persons of her great grandfather, two gvaat grand- mothers, two grandmathers and her daddy, Her mother played her piano accompaniment, Corporal Maud Mansfield of the R.C.A.F.
