by foreign insects or sudden development of large scale infestations by native pests constitutes a continuous menace to one of the principal natural re sources ceaseless vigilance is neces sary to discover insect outbreaks in their initial stages in order to avoid or at least reduce widespread losses which may seriously affect he national economy a thoroughly organised in telligence service known as the forest insect survey has been put into oper ationby the dominion government for the express- purpose of keeping unceas ing watch over the fluctuations of the insect population of the forest not only the dominion government but the provincial forest services the forest industries and the protective as sociations take an active part in this project over 2000 observers sta- ftioned

crop from now till harvest is the bnt time to detect the comparatively new but serious disease of potatoes known- 09 bacterial ring rot bacterial wilt and rot already the disease has caused serious idsscs in widely scat tered localities in canada and the united states and threatens further damage if not successfully controlled every potato grower should keep a sharp lookout for this disease

cooperation of every grower is essential for the suppression of this serious disease as a rule diseased plants can be detected only late in the growing sea son the symptoms are very variable but the most characteristic ones are described by h n racicot in a sci ence- service circular which may be obtained free on request from the publicity and extension division dominion department of agriculture ottawa the first symptom are usu ally a rolling and wilting of the leaves which resemble the condition some times seen in healthy plants in dry weather the affected leaves soon lose their normal green colour and feel thin and smooth to the touch the whole or part of the leaves turns yefllow then brown the affected parts eventually dying tjai5necxosisor scorchj hlng -toe- leaves which is frequently at the mar- bin somewhat resembles late blight dividual stems while late blight usually fairly evenly distributed in the field the tips of stalks of the affected leaves wilt while the basal part remains rigid eventually the whole leafdies one or mora stems in a hill may wilt while the remainder appear healthy the stems that wilt are usually more or less stunted the tubers from discard hills range from round to completely rotten but generally some of them show the crumbly yellow rot mainly in the region of the ring that is so charac teristic of the disease some of the apparently sound tubers contain tne causal bacteria it is imperative that diseased crops should never be used for seed for not only do slightly in fected tubers produce diseased plants but theycause many healthy sets to become contaminated during the op erations of seedcutting and planting the most important means of con trol is uif exclusive use of disease- free seed but full details of what to do when dlseose

hampson her 9yearold daugh ter christine is the guest of w j abell president of the ontario college of pharmacy it is almost impossible to appreci ate the importance of the war task which canada has assumed mrs hampsdn states when i left eng land a short time ago every one was talking about canada and the mar vellous work which this dominion is doing tp us canada seems almost like a strong man standing nearby who is ready to help in any way and at any time when we think of allies we think first and foremost of canada although this attitude may be rather unfair to south atrtca and australia both countries are doing their utmost to help us but they are far away and they have so many problems of their own that they dont receive the same attention i thi that canadian not fully appreciate how vital is the help which they are giving to us it she was not so before canada is cer- tnlnly ft firit mnlclng wracr in world affairs today mrs hnrpson asserted britons are confident of flnal
