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 egain allowed to come in contact with potatoes, says R. E. Goodin, Field-man, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agri culture. 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 reported 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 organism. Potato growers are therefore advised to carefully disinfect all used potato bags which are on their premises. 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 premises! RATION BOOKS WHEN VISITING FRIENDS Everyone visits friends more often during the summer vacation days than at any other time. Guests should take along their own ration books as their hostess may be short of rationed supplies. The Prices Board warns not to take loose coupons from your book. It is illegal to present loose coupons for the purchase of rationed commodities, and also illegal for the storekeeper to accept them.

They came from all parts of th* Province. All were under 16 years of age--most of them came from the homes of the needy--over 95% occupied Public Ward beds. Careful management kept hospitalization costs down among the lowest for children's hospitals in the whole of North America. Ia spite of this, the cost of caring for 9,000 little bed patients and ol supplying the medical attention required by 79,410 children's visits to our heavily burdened Out-Patient Department, was much more than fee revenue received from all sources. A similar deficit occurs every year because the Public Ward rates are less than the bare cost of hospital service. In some cases the parents pay, and in others their municipalities shoulder the burden. In either event, our revenue is at the same fixed rate--about $1.00 per patient day less than our costs.
