to the soils de partment at the ontario agricu tural college where a comprehen sive study and analysis has been made of the organic matter content in analyzing the results it had been assumed that the samples from the fence rows were nearest to normal frankly we were startl ed to note 1 that in all cases the organic matter content of the culti vated fields was lower than that of the adjoining fence rows and ii that this decrease ranged all the way from 20 to 05 with an average percentage decrease of 3s2 per cent we were informed that the samples had been taken from better than average farms

vecefci newcastle disease in poultry first broke out in haltpn county last spring since that time local poul try men have been living in dread of an outbreak in their respective flocks it is a highly infectious disease and consequently comes under the animal contagious dis eases act administered by the health of animals branch of the dominion department of agricul ture the only control measure where an outbreak occurs is be slaughter method the animal diseases research institute at hull quebec has been working on the problem and some little time ago produced a vaccine which has been under test a num ber of health flocks have been vac cinated in each flock ten birds have been removed each month and challenged with the virulent virm at the end of six months all have withstood the challenge indicating that immunity has lasted for six months and will likely last for a longer period of time early in november of this year dr t lloyd jones acting principal of the ontariq veterlnnry college at guelph announced that approv ed hatchery operators may applv to the ontario veterinary college for newcastle disease vaccine to be used jn hatchery supply flocks we also understand that all ftractlstng veterinarians throughout ontario have been informed of the plan of vaccination and hatchery operators may make arrangements with them for the administration of the vac cine incldently quite a number of the flocks in halton which are supply ing eggs to hatcheries hnve keen vaccinated in the past two months in so fnr as we can learn from such flock owners the vaccination has not interfered with the egg production nor have there been any ill effects this marks another step forward in controlling contagious disease in the poultry kingdom a tagged rainbow trout caught recently
