Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2nd, 1945 URGE GROWERS TO DISINFECT USED POTATO BAGS In order to prevent the further spread of Bacterial Ring Rot disease potato growers are urged to disinfect ell used potato bags before they are £igain allowed to come in contact with potatoes, says R. E. Goodin, Field-man, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Bacterial Ring Rot disease is one of the most infectious and destructive seed borne potato diseases on the continent of America. It is a comparatively new disease. The first cases leported in Ontario were during the 1938 season. The disease has been gradually on the increase and has caused losses amounting to many thousands of dollars since that time. Many outbreaks have been traced to infection from the use of second-hand potato bags which carry the organ-Potato growers are therefore advised to carefully disinfect all used potato bags which are on their prem-ires. The treatment does not involve much time but is cheap insurance against heavy losses from this disease. Bags should be soaked for two hours in a solution containing one pint formalin in forty gallons of water. These may afterwards be quickly dried at this time of year by spreading out over the grass or hanging over a fence. Another method used by some potato growers is by using a hand sprayer and a solution containing one pint formalin with one pint water. This solution is sprayed on about every fourth or fifth bag in the pile, after which the entire pile of bags is left covered overnight with a heavy blanket or tarpaulin. Potato growers may avoid heavy losses by using every precaution to keep Bacterial Rot disease away from their SHOPPERS ASKED TO SAVE PAPER Retailers and their customers are urged by the Prices Board to use paper as sparingly as posible in the packaging of parcels. While wrapping paper is necessary for many articles, there are others, tuch as those already packaged, which do not require it and where its use becomes waste. Wherever it is possible to eliminate wrapping, the Board asks that It should be done so that limited supplies of paper may be conserved for essential uses. United Church, Colborne Rev. Geo. D.

Success with these crops depends on the use of good seed of approved varieties, seed treatment, adequate fertility, proper tillage of the soy, seeding at the proper time and selection of fields with good drainage, says A. G. O. Whiteside, Cereal Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Wintei wheat requires soil of good fertility to give high yields while winter rye does relatively better than other eals on light soils although it too responds to good soil. If these crops are to follow sod, ploughing should commence at least four to six weeks before seeding and the land thoroughly worked to bring it into a good state of tilth. Winter wheat or rye may follow summerfallow or intertilled crops where these can be harvested early enough for seeding at the proper time. Fertilizer recommendations suggested by the Advisory Fertilizer Board for Ontario for heavy soil, manured or which has grown clovers, are 250 to 300 lbs. or 20 per cent superphi phate per acre while with manure or clovers, 250 to 300 lb. of 2-12-6 are recommended. On light soil, manured --200 to 250 lbs. of 0-12-20, and with no manure or clover--250 to 300 lbs. of 2-12-10 are suggested. Dawson's Golden Chat is recommended for the main wheat growing areas, while Genessee Reliable, a bearded red winter wheat, is commonly sown in Southern Ontario. The winter hardy variety Rideau is recommended for Eastern Ontario. Imperial and Horton are the best vaieties of winter rye. Good seed of the above varieties is available and only the best should be sown." To protect winter wheat from bunt ■ stinking smut and to lessen damage from root rots that may attack the young seedlings, the seed should be treated with one of the mercurial ists. When loose smut is troublesome seed should be secured from crops known to be free. The hot water treatment for your own seed may be employed but great care is necessary order not to injure the germination as well as make the treatment effec- Seeding the first week in September is usually the best date for sowing winter wheat and a little later for winter rye. For southern Ontario the second or third week of September has been found to be satisfactory time for seeding wheat.

RED CROSS CLINICS RE-OPEN IN AUGUST Continued support of the Blood Donor Service and urgent necessity for donors to continue their faithful attendance at clinics is urgent in view of the fact that Ottawa has announced that there are to be about 35,000 Canadian troops in the Pacific. Blood serum must be made available to the wounded in that theatre of war. Canadian Red Cross blood donor clinics will re-open next month. Mr. Russell T. Kelley, Chairman of Canadian Red Cross Blood Ronor Service in Ontario, emphasizing the need for continued support of the public, pointed out: "While the war with Germany is over, the war with Japan far from finished. There are two big reasons (including that stated above) why the service must continue. The British Government has asked the Canadian Government ,and they in turn have requested the Canadian Red Cross for 150,000 bottles of blood serum annually until the war is won. To produce that quantity will require 500,000 donations annually in Canada and Ontario has agreed to produce half of that total, on a basis of 5,500 donations weekly. The National Blood- Donor Committee and the Canadian Hospital Association have already held two meetings giving consideration to the question of the blood donor service after the war. SERIOUS SHORTAGE OF FIREWOOD Ottawa--Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick are faced with a serious shortage of firewood for next winter, Munitions Minister Howe warned recently. The Minister appealed to all municipalities in wood-burning areas to canvass their own local situation and make all necessary arrangements for sufficient production. He said that farmers and other fuelwood produc-should cut as much as possible during the balance of this spring and in the early summer. We are faced with a situation similar to that of two years ago," said Mr. Howe. "Because of the continuing shortage of labour, and because early snows shortened the normal winter cutting season, in many sections not more than half as much firewood was cut as in the previous winter. Yet in the previous winter of 1943-44, the finest cutting season in 70 years ,the output was below normal. "The shortage can be overcome and distress avoided only if fuelwood producers cut as much as possible in USED WASHING MACHINES Used domestic washing machines have been brought under specific price ceilings by a new order recently announced by the W.P.T.B. The order sets ceilings for sales by private individuals and dealers in the same levels and will eliminate some confusion which formerly existed in the determination of the proper ceiling price for a used machine. Two sets of ceilings are established by the order. The higher ceiling is established for machines which have been rebuilt, and the maximum prices according to make, model, year of manufacture, are set forth in the price schedule attached to the order, as specific dollar ceilings. Among the prices listed in the schedule are a $45.00 ceiling for vacum type washer with a 22 inch copper tub and $125.00 for spinner washer with copper or porcelain tub.

PREVENT FLIES FROM CONTAMINATING FOOD With the coming of warm weather house flies will be swarming from manure and refuse piles to the house, carrying disease. House flies breed in filth, particles of which adhere to their bodies. They deposit this filth and the germs in it wherever they alight, on dishes, on food and on the face of a sleeping child. Yet many people disregard this menace to the health of their families and make only half-hearted attempts to keep flies out of the home. The farm homes most successful in preventing the entrance of house flies are those which pay attention to limiting the breeding grounds of this insect. Farmers, alert to the danger of the house fly, burn household garbage regularly and dispose of manure. While this cleanliness reduces the number of flies on the farm, it still does not dispose of all of them. For this reason, the Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends that doors and windows should be screened and flies that find their way into the home should be promptly destroyed by fly swatters, sticky paper, poison fiy pads and sprays.
