MULHALL Tinsmithing and Plumbing PERCY STREET COLBORNE Low Cutting of Corn Helps Control Borer Professor L. Caesar, Provincial Entomologist, O.A.C., Guelph, urges low cutting of corn this fall as a help in the control of the borer and as a means of avoiding the unpleasant task of hand-picking stubble in the spring. Professor Caesar writes as follows: "There is a large crop of corn almost all over the province this fall and as a result many persons will be tempted to cut it high. To do so would be a mistake because the borer is decidedly more abundant this year in most counties than usual and extra care will have to be taken to hold it in control. Long stubble means that several times as many borers will ibe left in the fields after removing the stalks as there would be if the corn had been cut low. Moreover it is very much more difficult to plow long stubble under completely and not drag it up again in the slty of hand-picking their fields next spring when working the field; hence farmers wishing to avoid the neces-spring should cut their corn as as practicable. In Essex and Kent, where fortunately there has been some reduction of the borer this year, thousands of acres are being cut level with the ground by a short heavy hoe. Some individuals there have cut as many as from 50 to 200 acres in this way. Where corn is cut level with the ground the regulations allow farmer to dispense with plowing if he res to do so, although plowing [ in such cases is advocated as i a help in still further lessening the numiber of the boTers. Other counties 1 are also beginning to use the hoe, and j all who do so are well pleased ! the result. Where binders are used they should be set to cut at 4 inches 1 if the surface of the field will permit S this. In addition to cutting low, we ad-| vise running a planker or leveller, consisting of four ten inch planks lapped one on another, over the stubble in both directions to break it off. This makes complete burial easier | and at the -same time kills a good Preliminary reports of 1938 hatchery operations under the Hatchery Approval Policy and Hatchery Regulations indicate that there is an increase in the numiber of chicks being reared in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, compared with 1937.. Pigs decreased in numbers in 1937 in Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Erie, a downward trend also be:ng indicated in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.

Turkey also has its architects at work.

RITTWAGE Phone 99 Box 227, Colborne "Away to The Canadian Rockies" Anew and harmonious note in travel literature is the latest Bciniey "Away" book--"Away to *l»e Canadian Rockies and British Columbia"--by Gordon Brinley, with illustrations by her artistic hasband, Putnam Brinley. Drawn to Western Canada by a booklet on the pleasures enjoyed by the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, the "Travelling Brinleys" spent an entire summer In the pursuit of happiness -- and of notes and illustrations for an addition to their popular series of travel books. In her happy, lucid style, Gordon Brinley, the writer, tells of their visit to Calgary to see the West's largest rodeo and prepare for a long pack trip to Mount Assiniboine. They spent a holiday with the Sky-Line Trail Hikers and the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, visiting Moraine Lake, Larch Valley, and magnificent Yoho Valley, and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of living in Indian teepees, fishing for trout in lakes in the clouds, and thrilling to the changing pageantry of their surroundings. Further adventures carried them to such famous lakes as Louise, Emerald, and O'Hara, right over the Great Divide into British Columbia, and on to Vancouver where they discovered another vivid countryside and excellent fishing in the Vancouver Island salmon runs. The two adventure-loving Americans have a large following of readers who will see the Canadian West through their eyes, attracted by the charming drawings by Mr. Brinley, the blithe and readable text by Mrs. Brinley, and the definite practical information they incorporate in their book for those who would follow in their footsteps.

The contest, now in its sixth year, is an effort to attract Canadians to the hardwood forests, the leaves of which will soon be tinted beautifully by autumnnal frosts. In addition to the cash prizes, the railways are offering the inducement of special excursions and cheap return rail tickets to encourage city dwellers to return to the simpler joyf3 of their forefathers. Hundreds of Canadians have been gaining a new a'ppeciation of Canada's forests as they searched the woods for leaves big enough or pretty enough to *rin a share of the $215 prize list. Interest in the annual contest is growing, a keen inter-province rivalry having sprung up. The honour of producing the most beautiful leaf went to Ontario for the first time last year, New Brunswick and Quebec having each won twice. British Columbia has had a monopoly on the largest leaves in past years, last year's winner being 21 by 22 inches with a surface area of 248.3 square inches. The rules are simple and can be obtained from all railway offices. Leaves must be gathered in Canada and sent from a Canadian point but there is no restriction as to nationality of contestants. Each leaf must be mounted on separate card and forwarded flat between two pieces of stiff cardboard, accompanied by a sheet of paper five by seven inches on which are written the name and address of the sender, and the date and place of gathering the leaf. Maine of contestant must not he written on the card on which leaf is mounted. No entry man contain more than three leaves, though a contestant may forward as many entries as desired provided each does, not exceed three leaves. Damaged or broken leaves will not eligible and all entries must he forwarded post paid or express prepaid to Canada's Maple Leaf Contest, P.O. Box No. 2i5O0. Montreal, Que. Canadian artists who will be judges of the contest, which closes on Nov. 1st, will not enter into correspondence with any contestant, and no leaves will be returned. The prize winners and other leaves will he arranged for exhibit across Canada. Employees of the Canadian Travel Bureau and of the two railways and their subsid'aries may not enter the •contest but members of their families may submit entries. With Jack Frost already at work coloring the leaves, the annual treasure hunt is on. There are five prizes for the most beautiful leaf: $100, $40 $:20, $10. and $5. Two prizes of $30 and $10 are given for the largest leaf. Milk and Acohol •racked ; t instant -closed that. Blank. i died Evidence showed that before leaving Smallton Blank had several drinks of milk, and persons who arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after the crash said there was a distinct odor of milk. It was further shown that at Smallton pasteurization was not practised. The jury brought in a verdict according to the facts, adding the re-roendation that pasteurization of milk be compulsory, in order to reduce the appaling number of fatal ac-nts on the highways. ); you never saw anything like that -- about milk, either raw milk pasteurized milk. But our legislators at Toronto have decided as a healthy measure, all milk t be pasteurized. Most of us would have to strain our memories to recall even one death from the of milk; while fatal accidents with an alcoholic accompaniment almost a common occurrence, our legislators not only do not prohibit the use of alcohol; they establish places for its sale, and even force it on communities that ) not want it.
