PROTECT AGAINST POTATO BLIGHT (Experimental Farm News) The disease that blackens the leaves of potato plants in the fall and later attacks the tubers, causing so much loss, is known as Late Blight. It has become so prevalent in Northern Ontario during recent years that it is now practically impossible to grow potatoes without protection against this disease. The disease first attacks the leaves of the plants. It can be recognized by the blotches on the underside of the leaves. The blotches have a water soaked appearance. As the season advances, the disease spreads by means of spores. A great many of the spores drop to the ground and are Washed down to the potatoes infecting them. Protection consists of covering the plant and keeping it covered at all times with Bordeaux mixture sprayed on, or copper lime dusted on. Either method is effective if thoroughly Spraying or dusting should begin when the plants are about six inches high and should be repeated often enough to keep the plants covered. Three to seven sprayings or dustings may be needed, depending upon the season. In dry weather the disease does not spread but cloudy, damp seasons are most favourable to its development. At the Dominion Experimental Station at Kapuskasing, states J. P. S. Ballantyne, the Superintendent, during the past two seasons in particular, potatoes that were dusted regularly and thoroughly were not affected by Blight, while in the neighbourhood the disease was rampant and the loss severe. The slogan "Protect the Surface and You Protect All" applies with great force to the potato crop. NURSES URGENTLY NEEDED FOR RED CROSS OUTPOST HOSPITALS There is once again a great need for nursing personnel in Canadian Red Cross Outpost Hospitals, according to Miss F. I. McEwan, superintendent of the Field Nursing staff. The Ontario Division of Red Cross maintains twenty-eight hospitals scattered throughout the northern section of the province. Any graduate of an accredited training school is qualified to apply, and may do so by getting in touch with Miss McEwan at 621 Jarvis Street, Toronto. This is an excellent opportunity for any graduate nurse who would like further experience in the nursing field in the north west part of the province.

Through their improper use, the following are some of the results--degeneration of liver cells, damage to kidney tubes, depletion of bone marraw, necrosis of muscles, and in some instances hemorrhages. The authorities point out that these are not common occurrences but they may result when sulfa drugs are used by persons who do not know their proper application and limitations.

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. Houghing Ocfp^Rihm6rowHi Var made it more essential than ever that strategic telephone channels be guarded from interruption by storm and other hazards, and work has gone steadily forward on our great triangular underground cable route between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. As the supply of men and materials increases, n more open wire will be replaced by underground cable --between London and Windsor--between Montreal and Quebec City--to East Coast points--wherever increased traffic and operating prudence demand it. New too, will be brought into the Long Distance network . Here is still another major task ahead of us as part of our poet-war construction program. 0m 3r4c&</e Seu/ice HYDRO RURAL SERVICE... WHEN ? TO the writer of this letter and several thousand others who are in the same position, ■ your Hydro can definitely say that your application for service certainly has not "slipped our mind." Everything that can be done is being done to serve as many new customers as soon as possible. Even though many regulations have been relaxed, and the war in Europe is over, there is little, if any, sign of improvement in the shortage of labour and materials. The shortage of only one of the many parts needed to complete a service results in a delay. The labour and materials available are being used with extreme care and planning to serve as many new rural customers as quickly as possible. To those applicants in areas where Hydro lines are still to be constructed, Hydro service will be made available as the supply of labour and materials improves. Already sufficient applications have been received which will require the construction of over 2,000 miles of line that cannot be undertaken in 1945. However, your Hydro is making every effort to complete by the end of 1945 all applications made in 1944 that have been officially approved by letter. Your Hydro has done and is doing everything possible to extend electricity to essential rural services. The Hydro rural service that you are waiting for will be completed just as soon as the labour and material situation permits.
