choosing as his subject "S0639 is of entomological work in 1:. E. I.''. Mr. Cannon outlined the growth of the study of this work. and stressed its economical as- pect. He told of various exper- iments conducted and the many insect pests encountered.
who speaker also told the meet- jug briefly of the many diseases transmitted to humans by insects. and how easy it was for these in- mg to travel to the far corners or the earth via modem means of transportation. He stated it was because of this case of travel that all modern conveyances were sub- ject to the most rigid inspection rules.
Mr. Cannon continued by saying the potato beetle had been first discovered in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies in 1824. and it was not until 1874 lihat it showed in Eastern Canada. At the con- clusion of his address the speaker answered many queatlm-is put by the meeting in regard to the prac- tical application of his work.
During the business meeting for which Wally Higgins was chair- man and. Reg. Mach.-an co-chair- man. plans were d'scussed for ithe distribution of poor baskets which :.s to be carried out on February 15.

Warns Againstimportation Of Grains Containing Ergot
. The need of a closer checkup. inspection and grading of feeding stuffs distributed to Island farm producers was emphasized yester- day by Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agriculture-.
Stating that he had been in- formed recently that carlosds of grain have been forwarded to this Province containing between I2 and fl percent of crgot. Mr. Shaw issued a warning to pro- clucers in this connection.
"So badlndeed were these cars," he said, "that they were returned again to the point of shipment in Manitoba. This does not mean. of course. that this is it comtiion thing. I believe we have been getting grains of very high qual- ity from the West. and up to the grade. but with the high price of feeds there are some new mix- tures coming on the market. that are dangerous.
"The mixture commonly called
ground barley and mixed feed oats. for instance. may be desig- nated as ground barley and ground common nnts mixed togetlier, but this is not the case. The mixed feed oats may be the common oats and wild oats with a strong incidence of rye and other mater- ials that could carry crgot. I These grains may he CIIOADPT than the more reliable mixtures but they are dearer from the istandpoint. of thcir effect upon our animals. Farm:-rs should be very careful that they are secur- ing" materials that are free from dangerous products which affect thc growth. dEVPl0j'21'Ilel'll., and evc-n the life of our livestock.
Mr. Shaw recalled that a great. deal of discussion took place at the rerrni Agricultural Confer- ence on the danger of feeding grains containing ergot. it being indicated from research work conducted in the United Stair-5: that 5 percent of ergot in feeds had a very disastrous effect on brood sows and their young. The irecommendation was very strong- ly made that hog raiscrs should feed only grains that they know to be free from this dangerous product: "in other words, to feed only Prince Edward Island grains to breeding animals."

2. By M. J. Caldwell. C.C.l". leader. censuriniz the Government for supporting the United states resolution calling on the United Nations to brand Red China an aggressor in Korea.
Mr. Drew, who opened the tie- bate. called on the Government for a Royal Commission with it view to cutting down non-essenl.- iai Government expenditure and for a Parliamentary committee to inquire into defence measures.
He charged there was great un- certainty that Canada has more than a "very small number" of men ready to go into action, dc- spiie heavy defence spending.
Mr. Coldweii said a thorough appraisal should be made of Can- adnls manpower and material re- sources before any decision is reached on how men should be raised for the armed forces.
The C.C.F. leader also revived his party's demand for price con- trols .But it would not do to stab- ilize prices at high levels. There must be a rnil-back.
At tonight's brief Hours sitting. Solon Low. Social Credit leader. said he agreed with the Prime Minist4.v's belief the Ncath At- lantic Alliance could prevent ag- gression. Canada must play its part, and to do so it should im- prove hlghway communications, dccentrniizc industry and stock- pile essentinl materials.

In his repon for the past year be reviewed the activities of the organization, and stated that nithough many mis- takes had been made he consider- ed thc club had learned a great dz-al from each one.
Outlining the projects carried out during the 1950-51 season. Mr. Morris said the club had suc- cessfully undertaken nine pro- jects, and gave a brief resume as follows: 1.

maintaining a Canadian soldier in Europe was much more than the cost of a European soldier. It also was known Canada could produce equipment efficiently.
"And we believe, as Gen. Eisen- hower is reported to have sub- mltted in his report. in Congress today. that the big need of Wat- ern Europe at this time is for arms rather than for troops," Mr. St. Laurent said.
Of controls. the Prime Minister said the Government hopes that ultimate decisioris in this direct- ion taken by the United states can be adapted for Canada. But he said they would be accepted for
Canada only on their merits, viewed from Canada '5 national interest.
He said the repercussions of eco-
nomic policies in the DB. are
bound to be felt in Canada. This. country could not prevent. a. degree
of inflation here approaching that
of the U. S.
To avoid that, it. would have to "enclose our ccononiy in an Im- pervious wall that. under present conditions, would not be accepted by l. majority of the Canadian people."
The Government was going to submit its controls legislation to Parlitunent RS soon as possible. After -passage, it. would be pos- sible to provide regulations as it appeared they would be bene- ficial. ,
The Prime Minister emphasized the nr-ed for enforcement. of any controls. declaring this would be possible only with the backing of A majority of the people.
Rejects Drew's Proposal
He. titrni-cl down Mr. Drew's proposal for is defence committee of the House. as the Government has done in previous years. He said the Ministry was responsible to Parliament and was willing to have dcfcricc expenditures scrut- inizcd. through the Ministers, to the last. dollar. But it would not have its military advisers exam- ined by a committee.
Mr. Drew. concentrating heavily nn defence. said a lack of urgency was evident in Govcrnment polic- ies as laid down in the Speech from the Throne read at Tue!- day's liousn opening. It contained no real information on what. steps were to be taken to assure "Can- ada's survival.
Caiiaciiniis ivr-re willing to face
reality but they must. bc given lcaricrship: Only a Government. could do that.
Mr. Drew said he was hopeful A general war could be avoided if fi-cc mcii and women ”put their whole iicnrt int-o ihr tasks before them. with the compelling sense of tlnnzcr which the facts tie- mnnd."
What. Canada did. and the why. siic did it. would have a profound cffoct both on joint dcfence and on the whole future of this cottntt',v.
