It should then be continued at regular intervals of from two to five weeks, depending on the dur- ation of the effectiveness of the spray used. After exposure to heavy rains, additional spraying is necessary, particularly the milking cows. There are a number of commer- cial fly sprays available, Some of these contain DDT and other poisonous ingredients, while oth- ers have varying concentrations of DDT mixed with water or paraffin. As a result of tests made in co- operation with the division of en- tomology, a spray is now heing used at the Central Experimental Farm on dairy stock, made up as follows: Mix one pound of 50 per cent DDT water-dispersible pow- der in 21 to 5 gallons of water. This gives a concentration of from one to two per cent spray, which has proved satisfactory for con- trolling flies on cattle, A similar spray, but of greater DDT concentration, is used in and about the dairy and stables to con- trol flies. This spray is made up of one pound of 50 per cent DDT water-dispersible powder in one gallon of water. Care should be taken that all food or drinking vessels are covered before spray- ing, as like most other insecti- cides, DDT is poisonous to live- stock when swallowed in large amounts, Annual Carnival BRONTE - TRAFALGAR FIRE BRIGADE NO. 1 : Saturday, July 17th 23 BRONTE, IMERRY-GO-ROUND GRAND DRAW ONTARIO GAMES PRIZES GC.

PLUMBING and HEATING lElephone 77 Welding Supplies Pipe Fitting Pumping Outfits Golf Course Equipment Reconditioned REPAIRS of all kinds Colborne St., Oakville Research Aids Control OF Cutworm Scourge Cutworms are the dull-colored, hairless caterpillars which sever the stems of newly-set tomatoes, cabbages, peppers and other ten- der vegetable crops, hiding in the soil during the day and feed- ing at night. Most of the dam- age oceurs from late May to mid- June, but very often the cut- worms are active and feeding be- fore the plants are in the ground. Hence, it is most important to. be ready for their attack at the first of the season, says W. G. Matthewman, division of ento- mology, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. An effective cutworm bait may be prepared by mixing a table- spoonful of paris green with a quart of bran and adding just enough water so that the mixture will crumble through the fingers like damp sawdust, without drip- ping when squeezed lightly. For larger quantities use one pound of paris green, 25 pounds of bran and about 21; gallons of water, mixing the dry ingredients before adding the water. Molasses for- merly was used in cutworm baits, but experiments have shown that it adds nothing to their effective- ness. On land that is suspected of. being infested, the bait should be broadcast a few nights before the plants are set out, at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, dry weight, One application usually is suffi- cient, but if the cutworms are Very numerous, a second may be advisable three days after the first. Always spread the bait in the evening just before dusk, because the cutworms begin to feed soon dfter sundown, and like the bait fresh. And choose a warm, calm evening. Sun and wind dry out the bait, making it less attractive to the insects, while if the night is cool, the cutworms positively will not feed and the bait will- be wasted. If injury' occurs after the plants, have been set out, spread a half teaspoonful of the bait near but not touching the stem of each plant, and repeat the application in two or three days. Paris green is a deadly poison, so handle it with care. A vacation is always too short, but an accident can cut it short- er, and turn pleasure into pain. The Ontario Department of High- ways urges motorists to practice common sense carefulness, so that they may have a good time for a long time. "em GARDEN 5. PA a GRAPH By DEAN HALLIDAY Released by Central Press Canadian / INDUCE ROOTING = [© Neatly every gardener has a favourite climbing rose which is his or her pride and joy. Anyone can develop a new rose from an old by a simple method of layer- ing. This is the easiest method of increasing some varieties and the process is illustrated in the ac- companying garden graph. Here's how to do it: Make a slanting cut or notch near an eye in about the middle of the cane, as illustrated. Bend down the cane so it may be covered up at this point with. a soft, good gar- den soil. Hold it down with a small rock, as illustrated. Be sure to strip off the leaves before bury- ing it, Not all roses can be propagated by this method, but many of the climbers and briers will develop new plants readily by means of "layering." Foliage on all types of bush roses is necessary to manufacture food for the plants' health and vigor. Therefore, it cannot spare any of the leaves without having the loss interfere to any great extent with the plant's normal functioning and blooming. June is also the month to keep watch for mildew on roses. It is a fungus which strikes swiftly, turns rose leaves white, and dwarfs both buds and blossoms. For the control of mildew, "the sulphur dust products are best. Some of the better ones have com- bined with them a small portion of arsenate of leall which helps control the rose-slub or foliage- eating worm.

Falls bridge has brought a state- men from Postmaster - General Bertrand to the effect that the anniversary concerned is that of the bridge and not of the signing of peace which occurred 133 years ago. The department is riot interested in publicizing enterprise the bridge represents. So look like there will be for that event. a private Niagara it don't a stamp 'which The American stamp to com- memorate the centenary of the Whirlpool bridge at Niagara Falls will be issued in August of this year, The proposed design will incorporate a view of the bridge from the side with a train pass- ing over in the direction of the Canadian side. Shields with the national enblems of the two coun- tries are expected to flank the. central scene. It is also stated from an Ot- tawa source that we will have a commemorative stamp next year to mArk the 200th anniversasy of the founding of the city of Hali- fax, the capital of Nova Scotia. No details ase available official- ly, but it is presumed that it like- ly would appear in June next year: as that is the month during which the beginnings of the city. of Halifax saw light in 1749. On the subject of anniversary. commemorations it is no secret that there is to be one in Toronto in 1951. It was in that city in 1851 that Sir Sanford Fleming, the man who gave us Standard Time, prepared the original de- signs for Canada's first postage The 'spot where his of- fice was situated has been located and the Canadian Philatelic So- ciety propose to place a marker on the building in the year 1951 in connection with the Interna- tional Philatelic Exhibition to be held in Toronto at that time. It is expected that there will be a special stamp issued for this event.
