The movement, started at Stoney Creek, in 1897, has now become world wide. Women’s In- stitutes, wherever they exist, are non- sectarian and non-political. Canadian wool is now recognized both at home and in outside importing countries as possessing highly desirable qualities. Since wool grading became a general policy several years ago, buy- ers have learned to look with confidence to Canada for supplies. In the last fiscal year a little less than 3,500,000 pounds were graded, slightly more than in the preceding year. Wool grading has had a very good effect on improv- ing the annual wool clip and its pre- paration for market. The fleeces now received at the storages are well-roll- ed and dyed and show a very small [percentage of rejects or low grade wools. Cats and dogs do not get much kick out of the movies, says Daily Science News. During tests made in Berlin some time ago by Dr. Victor Mendel, animals and birds showed a surprising lack of reponse to moving pictures. The pictures were especially selected for each ammal and animal group and the experiments were made in an exhibition groom especially adapted to the purpose. “The response of dogs was practically nil. Neither St. Bernard, setter, span- iel. poodle nor collie gave the slightest attention to the pictures. Only a little mongrel of doubtful origin evinced a momentary interest by sniffing at the human figures on the screen. “The experiments with cats were much more favorable. 0! five subjects three responded actively, showing fight upon the appearance of a big dog on 'the screen. Experiments with birds were rather negative. Geese and ducks, chickens and pigeons paid some atten- tion. while owls showed great interest. HOW MOVIES “Small wild birds and barnyard fowl showed anxiety when a hawk appeared in their line of vision. A squirrel dis- plyed interest when a weasel made its appearance on the screen, but reptiles and fish were, as might have been ex- pected, almost wholly indiflerent.” Grading Wool 113: Helped The Women’s Institute Improving the Herd and SOME SERIOUS DISEASES --rvâ€" â€"_â€"____ . _ _. _ , 1 Successful iarmmg depends upon many factors, important among which is the extent to which crop plants suf- fer ,from disease. The extent of losses in Canada through the ravages of plant diseases is represented by millions of dollars; a condition which may be ap- preciably remedied by applying the principles recommended by the Plant Pathologists of the EXperimental Farms. Until recent years the farm- er, knowing little relating to the nature of plant diseases, was often unaware of the fact that his crops suffered serious losses from this cause. Generally such ; matters were viewed as natural occur-'1 rences and accepted as such. Today, however, the situation has improved, for with the aid of easily accessible lsliterature, the farmer has acquired a lsplendid working knowledge of the symptcme and control of the more ser- ious diseases of crop plants. In other lwords, the farmer’s power over diseases I which cause these losses was never as great as it is at the present stage of Iagricultural development. One by one the organisms responsible are being studied and from the facts obtained the investigator is in a position of devising means to prevent their destructiveness. It is known now that most plant diseases are caused by micro-organisms which live upon and absorb their food from the crop plant in which there is accordingly produced a_ diseased. condi- w'vvâ€" â€"â€"â€" _ U U . tion. These diseases which result from the action of germs or organisms are known as parasitic disease. To this group belong 7 such diseases as smuts, â€"'w‘â€" v- :‘uts, an'd vrd'ot rats of wheat, oats, and barley, blight of potato, apple scab, club root of turnips, peach leaf curl 39d many more of great importance. Dir- orders caused by unfavorable conditions of environment such as heat, moisture, and food supply are known as non-‘ parasitic diseases and in this group we ' find brown-heart of turnips, streak of tomatoes, corky core and drought spot of apples. A third group takes in the typical examples in mosaic, leaf roll, Tand spindle tuber of potatoes. Every producer of certified seed potatoes is now familiar with these disorders and can sympathize with gardeners who have to contend with mosaic, as leaf curl of raspberry and strawberry, cu- cumber and hosts of other plants. cumber and hosts of other plants. Many of these diseases are exceeding- ly difficult to overcome; however, it is gratifying to know that much has m SANCTUMS THE CONQUEROR OF COCHET PLAYS AGAINST TILDEN Here is a picture showing Wilmer Allison, United States’ youth- ful Davis Cup player, who conquered Henri Cochet, the world’s lead- ing tennis player, in the semi-final round of the All-England cham- pionships at Wimbledon.

Sheep and lambs will not thrive if they are forced to act as a host. for ticks and other vermin. Sheep going into winter quarters will also be greatly benefited by being dipped in the early fall. The expense involved in dipping sheep is very slight cornpared with the increased gains that will be lmade by the lambs and the greater as- lsurance of having the ewes in good breeding condition in the fall and at lambing time in the spring. The yield and quality of wool will also be greatly increased. The Fredericton Experi- mental Station has made a practice of dipping sheep each year (fall and spring), and as a result ticks have heen practically eliminated from the flock. dips on the market. Cooper’s dip is the most commonly used and experi- ments conducted at this Station proved to be quite efficient, although tests made some years ago did no show it to give quite 100 per cent control. In 1924 the Fredericton Experiment. a1 Station undertook to test out the merits of sodium floride and wetable sulphur as cheap substitutes for the commercial dips. A number of grade sheep that were heavily infested with ticks, were purchased from nearby farmers for this experiment. Counts were made of the ticks found on each sheep and lamb before and after dip- ping. Sodium floride was used in cary- ing strengths from ‘4 of an ounce to 1 1,4 ounce to a gallon of water. Cooper’s dip was used according to directions. One hundred per cent control was se- cured where sodium floride was used in the most concentrated form but there was evidence of slight burning. The weaker strengths of this product failed to give satisfactory control of ticks. Consequently sodium floride in solution is not satisfactory as a sheep dip. Wet- able sulphur was found to give 100 per cent control when used at the rate of ' 30 pounds to 100 gallons of water. Cooper’s dip also gave lOOAper cent con- trol without any evidence of burning.
