Caesar, of the 0.A.C., Guelph, provincial entomologist, speaking at the annual comferente .of the Western Ontario Corn bores Inspectors, Prof. Caesar said that in a num.* ber of Ontarfo counties 'the corn borer scourge diminished last year, The newest method of the depart- ment of agriculture to combat the corn borer is to attempt through ° experiments with" hybrid corn to get strains that are largely borero- sistant. These experiments haven't yet been carried on on a sufficiently large scale to arrive at: definite conclusions, NEW SEED EACH YEAR At least 50 strains have all been tested during the past two years, and it has been found that a strain of Wisconsin corn is to date the most likely looking prospect for a borer-resistant.- The chief difficulty in bringing about a general use of _ hybrid corn lies in the fact that the farmers must purchase new seed each year, Prof. Caesar explained. i - Right For Spring he M-G-M starlet dons this new | spring hat modelled after the old- fashioned coachman's topper. .Its hollowed crown and back is of burnt straw brimmed in deep brown. . 4 Forest Value.

Supplied with 'a multiplicity of maps of the Scandinavian front they could tell the rest of the world just exactly how the war in Norway was going. Two major battles were being waged, they pointed ~out,. which might prove decisive for the whole" Norwegian campaign -- north 6f Oslo; and north of Trond- heim, ~ the key to central and southern Norway, connected by rail with Sweden. Heavy intensi- fication of the war in the air was noted , . . the Allied navies being in control of sea communications, Herr Hitlér was having to depend mainly on his air fleet not only for supplies for his invading army but for reinforcements; and was having to rely largely on his air- arm to fight off further Allied landings and supply ships, - Sweden On Spot If, as was apparently the case last week, Germany was finding herself unable to consplidate her position in southern Norway fast enough, before new Allied thrusts in central and northern Norwhy .could bog down her machine, neighboring Sweden was in the worst spot since the. time of Na- poleon. A German invasion of Sweden appeared, on the surface; to be only a matter of hours, But cee for several reasons, Sweden for the time being did not fear an attack by Germany: Because she has a well-trained and efficiently equipped army of 400,000 men, and a number of strongly defend- ed airdromes from which attacks against any invaders could be launched; again, a German invas- ion of Sweden was seen as ime mediately depriving Germany of an invaluable source of iron ore-- the Kiruna iron mines; lastly, ex- tension of the northern theatre of war to Sweden would mean that the Allies could siriko at Hitler's right flank and might the more . earlier oust German forees from central and southern Nov ay, t= The War Week Since the Germans were so ob- viously occupied in Norway Jast week, a Nazi push on the West- "ern Front was believed deferred . + » Nazi sympathizers were being driven out of a number of Euro- pean (ountries, chiefly Yugo * slavia, where a Nazi plot against the government was nipped in the bud . . . martial law was declar- ed in the Netherlands, Premier de Geer also making it known that Dutch overseas possessions (Japan was eyeing the Dutch East Indies) would be defended by arms , .,.

Tho middleman is often of ines: timable value to the producer and serves his turn to the community.

But when the 'time comes for full room being needed, then it should be available and one must harden his heart, take an axe and thin. Crowded--£1ow ers, vegetables, shrubs or trees, soon become weak and spindly. INFORMALITY BEST [The informal flower garden is much to be preferred for average planting. At the same time this does not mean -just throwing in plants or seed. Generally the best plan is to have the larger flowers towards the rear or centre of the bed so that little things like nas- turtiums, alyssum, dwarf phlox and similar kinds will not be hid- den. Where the bed is to be mix- ed, it is well also. to have late, medium and early flowers evenly ways in bloom. © SUMMER GARDENS Where ong has a Summer. cot- tage that will- not be visited until June, the usual : practice is to start practically all the garden in flat -boxes at home. Later these are taken well grown out to the garden by the lake. Such things as letfuce, carrots, beets, onions, even corn, can all be started in boxes or pots and moved very carefully. It is a good idea to start board box and simply remove box when planting. : ' SCOUTING . . .
