AND COMMENTS 4 ' - More than ten per cent of the worlds crops, is annually: destroyed by pests; in some of the more backward of he world's countries the destruction runs as high as . forty per cent, Translated into under- 'atandable figures it means, that in a count- * . 'ry~like Britain; 33,000 British farms work- ed hard throughout the four seasons and produced no food at all; in Canada, that about 100,000 farm labourers worked all year to feed the pests. It is a sobering thought that we were insects until the year 1809 when modern biology and chemistry first began to sup- ply us with weapons to hit back. Then in 1942 from a Swiss laboratory came D. D.'T: and shortly afterwards benzene hexa- chloride from Britain. These were two mighty weapons in the fight against in- sects--the. most numerous form of crop pests--but, at first they were used indis- Civil War . + sequence 'of world war -. "The situation in South Africa, in Kenvd Colony and even in Tanganyik is most ser- fous indeed. There has always been a ra- cial problem in that part of the great Af- rican continent which beckoned to white . men because it offered freedom of worship, fertile and rich farming and grazing lands, wealth in gold and diamonds. Cheap la- - bour, native black labour and Indian Iabour appealed to the more highly civilized whites who saw opportunitjes for creating in this part of the world a culture provid- ing them with a very high standard of living. As long as white superiority was taken for granted by the natives and the" Indian tribes, racial trouble was non-ex- fstent but with the startling advance in travel and communication . . . . with the spread of learning that an inevitable con- . . the superior- ity of the whites and- 'their right to ex- -ploitation began to be challenged. The men of the Malan government are clever and intelligent.. They know per- - fectly well that they face a grave and ser- . they . ious threat to their supremacy - also know that their supremacy is an ac- quired supremacy . .'. and that given op- portunities the blacks could and would top-Fightin 7- Ourselves Tom Fo "MICE DAMAGE IN ORCHARDS fe A criminately and the balance in nature was upset by the killing of all kinds of insects . pollinators as well as pests. It was also diseove that, certain insects could : "develop resistant types which the sprays did not kill, the fly for example. Now it seems clear]y.understood that in pest and digease control that there are fac- tors which must constantly be taken into consideration . . . the balance in nature .. diredted killing of specific pests . the extent to which they may be safe oy: destroyed . . . the ability of pests to velop immunity. If we were ta spend as winch time and money and energy upon this kind of enemy instead of finding reasons for fighting each other there is little doubt but that the people of he world would be better fed, clothed and housed than they are "to-day and therefore less ready to fight. L men realize that it is their responsibility to see that those opportunities are forth- coming even though it means a new kind of society in South Africa. Intelligence tells them that this is the only solution; however, emotionally they are incapable. of accepting what their intelligence tells them they must accept. Brought up in a culture based upon their superiority over the Africans they cannot adjust to the needs of the day. Therefore, they resort to racial segregation laws and harsh im- positions directed against the native pop- ulation. The events of the past two weeks indi-~ cate that Malan faces a split in his govern- ment; that the whites have now been div- jded by the steps taken by his govern- - ment; that an early election -may be ne- cessary and that such an election may well spark a form of civil war which even now is being, sparked by the extreme followers of Mau Mau. It is a tragic thought that we of the western world who have learned to harness our intelligence to the problems of human existence with unparalleled suc- cess should employ such childish emotions in dealing with those who differ from us in creed and colour. Hundreds 'of "dollars damage to or- chards resulted last fall from the at- 'tacks of mice seeking winter hontes in' orchards; and 'precautions against similar attacks this: fall should be taken now, urges B, J. Teskey of ,\. the Department of Horticulture," Ont; ario Agricultural College. Damage from mice is more severe and more difficult to detect than dam- age from rabbits, since mice attack trees at ground level or below, where®® damage to the crown and roots of the tree cannot readily be seen. All leaves, litter, and other rubbish should' be cleared away from the trunk for a distance of at least two feet, and suckers at the base of the tree removed. A. fine mesh wire placed around the trunk and extend- ing-down to root level will help pro- vide protection for the tree. Extra protection will be provided if the base of the wire is embedded in crushed stone or cinders, since mice ordinarily will not burrow into this material when they attempt to get under the wire, _ Where there is evidence of a large mouse population, poison baits should be used. Pieces of apple can be used _ Tor bait if there are no dropped ap- ples present on the ground, and un- til. freezing temperatures prevail, = When the temperature drops below freezing, grain is more attractive to .. mice than apples. 'When mice are seeking_shelter in - the fall, the placing of a number of boards throughout:.the orchard will tend to concentrate the mice in "de- finite areas, where they can be killed With polsen baits.

World War II gave great impetus _ to this disease, until now it is of epi- demic proportions. = Military security was the great excuse for not telling the public ithe public's business, and . 'the habit, once established, was never shaken off. ~ At times top government officials * have been emboldened to suggest that department bosses should have it en- tirely within their discretion what to release and what not to, regardless of -whether security is involved. Such a policy obviously could be designed for only one purpose--to~"insulate govern- ment from criticism of its mistakes. And now, in an article in the cur- rent American Magazine, we read that the infection of- government si- lence is making inroads in local gov- - ernment. Local residents of cities are finding it difficult to get into meetings of town, school boards, plan- ning commissions, and the like. The same thing is happening in Canada.
