the continued hot weather of the east few weeks has delayed seeding of spring grains particularly the low ly- fng areas throughout the frovlnce md many farmers are now confronted 4rlth the problem of

that more rqj and approved chicks of an grades have been sold this year the 1990 output was considered a record but the ibm production up to the end of the month of may has surpassed it by nearly a million and a half chicks bringing the- estimated production to well over 17 mlluon approved chicks in this work record of performance rop breeders have been well to the fore and have sold more chicks and pedigreed chicks- than ever be fore a preliminary estimate shows about 20 per cent increase in rop pedigreed chick sales approximately totalling 50000 chicks this pedigreed stock goes to improve breeding flocks for 1m1 an increase in sales of approved chicks is reported from all the prov inces except alberta where sales tot alled the same as in 1888 saskatche wan outdid all the other provinces with an increase of 50 per cent in sales of approved chicks cucumber beetles are fast workers striped cucumber beetles are small insects about a quarter inch in length they- feed on cucumbers squash mel ons and similar plants the beetles are yellow in colour with a black head and three stripes down the back shortly after the beetles break through the soil they attack the plants feed ing on the under surfaces of the un folding leaves which often are com pletely destroyed as a result the tiny plants quickly die growers with large patches of any of these plants are advised by alan o dustan entomological division dom inion department of agricuture to watch closely for the first appearance of the cucumber beetle if appreci able damage is being done control measures should be taken at once the plants should be dusted with a mix ture of calcium arsenate and gypsum land plaster using one part arsenate to 20 parts by weight of gypsum and- covering the plants thoroughly on both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves as the insects feed- in both positions hydrated lime may be sub stituted for gypsum but the lime tends to dwarf the plants and tem porarily retard their growth to ensure success dusting should be commenced on the first appea of the beetles because they work very fast and much damage may be done before their presence is suspected three or four applications a few days apart depending on the severity of the attack are usually sufficient to hold the beetles in check ibysfinthedliuns for early and late market there wasa glut on the chrysan

in stead of being planted in the green- bouse they are placed in beds under a cloth house which provides partial shade commencing about july 16 a very dense black cloth or heavy paper shade ls put

october 8 when shading commenced august 1 these varieties normally form buds shortly after sep tember first and bloom from november 10 this would indicate that shading should commence 85 70 days before bloom is desired providing that the last pinch is given 20 30 days be fore shading starts this means that by starting the shading at regular weekly intervale from july is to august 22 a steady succession of bloom can be had from mid september to the normal crop plants which will bloom before se vere frost may be grown under a cloth house which together with the cloth or paper shade will protect the plants from a few degrees of frost those which will bloom later must be plan ted indoor commercially there is little object in producing late chrysanthemums but if they are desired they may be produced by retarding bud formation by means of lengthening the daylight period by the use of strong electric lights the lights should be turned on from fve to ten pm commencing about august 20

orchards these types include mosaic of apple crinkle or cherry cherry mottle leaf and prune mosaic they cannot be regarded as serious at present says the canadian horticul tural report on horticultural research conducted in 1939 but the time may come when through lack of apprecia tion of their possible importance they may become so well established that serious losses may result the ofricers of the division of bo tany and sjlant pathology science ser vice dominion department of agri culture who have paid particular at tention to these diseases offer the following recommendations i apple or plum trees showing characteristic mottling and cherry trees with crink led or mottled foliage should be mar ked for destruction c2 if such trees are still in full production they should be left until they begin to show a mar ked reduction in yield and then des troyed i3 under no circumstances should afected trees be used as a source of wood for grafting nor should healthy wood be grafted on them the application of these recommendations will cause little loss to the grower and should be of grtfftt value in checking the spread of the diseases in the dark da it whethrr by the
