SOIL TESTING

M-my farmers throughout the Province are interested in having titviir soils tested. It would be ad- iisaiiie to take the samples this fall, send them to the Soil La- lmi-atory. Dominion Experimental Station. Charlottetown. during the winter in order to have the re- rnmmendations in ample time to place orders for fertilized before His spring rush. Samples received allrir mid April leave very little time for getting the analysis com- NI-ind and the recommendations mil in the farmer early enough for li.m to get his fertilizer in time for seeding.

Taking the sample is one of the mnxl. important parts of the pro- rnrliire of having soil tested by rapid chemical methods. Samples lmm single locations in the field or in contaminated containers are not only of little or no value, but may also be misleading.

The question of treating sheep for internal parasites seems to he a confusing one to most people The following article is intended to give a detailed outline of the control of internal parasites in

sheep with Phenothiszine. It would be advisable to cut this article out and keep it for ready reference.

In llltmptlnl to control internal parasites of sheep it should be re- membered that the most harmful parasites survive the winter inside the adult sheep and that the pas- tures have been cleaned oi as good number of the young infective worms by the severe winter wea- ther. The most effective control methods s ho uld, therefore, be based on removing the worms which would reinfcct pastures when the sheep are turned out in the spring. Phenothiazine is the most effective winter treatment for the control of stomach and intestinal worms in sheep. This is usually administered in the form of lab- lets.

The system of control is as fol- lows:

1. Treat all sheep that have been carried over the winter. any time between the first of February and one month before lambing or. from five days after lambing until 24 hours before turning onto pas- ture. It is important that all sheep be treated at the same time. If for any reason one or two sheep cannot be treated with the rest of the flock they should be kept in- doors and not allowed on grass with the rest of flock until 24 hours after they have been treated. If the season of heavy frost has pas- sed, care should be taken to keep the flock off any grass covered land before they have been treat- ed. If this is not done the untreat- ed animals will infect ihe grass and the young worms which de- velop will infect the s he ep and lambs after they are turned out. This is the main cause of unsat- isfactory results in using this method of controlling sheep par- asltes.

2. Although this treatment us- ually prevents the occurrence of stomach worms as well as pre- venting nodular disease of lambs. watch for signs of the stomach worm in July. August and early September. Watch especially for the pale eye membranes. When such signs appe a r the lambs should receive a small dose of Phenothlazine or s drench of blue- stone and nicotine. Repeat in one month if necessary.

3. Symptoms of diarrhoea in the autumn months are advance signs of future unthriitlness. Af- fected animals should be treated with phenothiaziine, and if the grass is dry and sparse. supple- mentary fccd shoud be provided. PIIENOTIIIAZINE TABLETS

The following procedure should be followed carefully when giving this treatment.

WINTER. OR SPRING - TREATMENT:

1. Treat all adult animals. in- cluding the ram.

2. The number of tablets to be given depends upon the weight of the sheep, as follows:

(a) Up to 100 lbs. 8 compound tablets (1216 grams each).

(h) Over I00 lbs.. 4 compound tablets (121.4 grams each).

3. The number of tablets re- commended should not be reduced, particularly in flocks in which the nodular worm is prevalent. SUMMER AND AUTUMN TREATMENTS:

4. Flocks subject to diarrhoea or scouring in the autumn should be treated in September or at the first sign of diarrhoea in y o u n g animals.

(a) Grown Animals. 3 com- pound tablels (1295 grams eacht.

(bl Lambs, 2 compound tablets (121.4 grams each).

5. For stomach worms in sum- mer. give 1. to 2 tablets. CORRECTION In the article emitted "Clover Seed Prospects" in last We ek's News Column the following sen- tence appearcd "With careful seed bed preparation. using some for- illizcr and f or manure. and early seeding and harvesting. equally good results should be possible if the clover rates are each reduced to 1,4, pound," This, of course, should have ended ”by W l70.Und-" This-then would Rivo a mixtuic of 8 lbs. of timothy. its lbs. per acre each of red clover and alsike. 4-H GRAIN CLUB AT AMHERST The 4-H Grain Club team from St. George's placed second in the recent Seeds and Crops competition at the Maritime Winter Fair. This was a very fine achievement in- deed. The two team members. Charles Somers and Michael Camp- bell, scored a total of 1451 points out of a possible I700. The example of these boys. and of the Island teams in previous years. should be a real encouragement to all rural youth who are thinking of organizing a 4-H club in their community.

Monument To Famous Explorer

CAS'I'I..EGAR. B.C. (CF) - One of the famous exploits of David Thompson, early western explorer and geographer. was commemo- rated here Monday with the un- veiling of a cut-stone monument on a spot overlooking the Colum- bia river.

More than 250 persons attended the dedication ceremony perform- ed by Rt. Rev. 1''. P. Clark, Angli- can bishop of the Kootensy, on a spot beside the Columbia where Thompson is known to have passed Sept. 6, 1611. on his historic de- scent of the river from its source to its mouth.

A copy of Thompson's 1812-Isis map or the Columbia was dis- played at the unveiling.

The map. compiled from Thomp- son's siirveys of the North West Company's posts and routes be- tween 1792 and 1812, has been the basis of all subsequent maps of the area.

Other monuments to Thompson's explorations already stand near

Wherever thoughtful people thcr this Remembrance Day. e age-old questions are sure to arise: When will people learn to live together in peace? Must there be wars? And some one of the company will make answer. ”It is human nature to fight. Aggres- sion is a human instinct. There will always be war."

Happily, modern understanding of human nature, or m o d e r n psychology, does not confirm these beliefs. Lawrence S. Kuble (M. D..) Clinical Professor of Psy- chiatry. Yale University of Medi- cine, says:

Aggression is not a primary in- stinct. or indeed an instinct at all. Nor need it necessarily have any- thing to do with destructiveness. We m a n i f e s t "aggressiveness" whenever we pursue our goals in the face of obstacles and diffi- culties. whether our goal is to make war or to raise funds for a campaign for world peace. We may act aggressively whether we are ruthless criminals or police- men. lawyers or judges. whether we are fighting a bloody revolu- iion or conducting a bloodless cam- paign of passive resistance. We may be as aggressive at the easel as in the prize ring. But through all these contrasting modes of be- haviour runs one essential ingredi- ent: the capacity of the h u m a n spirit to react aggressively to some challenge. whether from without. in the form of deprivation, danger or frustration. or from within, through some internal fantasy of ancient wrong or imagined terror. Furthermore. the degree and qual- ity of aggressiveness can vary from a capacity "to confront dif- ficultics and opposition resolutely but peacefully to a savage pursuit of goals without regard to the pos- sible paln and suffering to our- selves or to others. Clearly. ag- gressiveness. moderate but reso- lutr.-. is essential.

”As to the relation of human aggrcssiveness to war. we. have no basis for claiming that this fac- tor in human nature is in itself an essential ingredient in making war -”

e a

1948 an international group of scientists at e c I a r e ('1. ”There is no evidence that wars are necessary and inevitable con- scqucnccs of 'human nature' as such."

There is A related theory held by a great many people that some nations are inherently more inter- csted in making wars than others. History as well as modern phy- chology disprovcs this.

Take the Scandinavians for in- stance. Known as the Norsemen, a thousand years ago they W9" the most warlike people of Eu- rope. For centuries now they have been among the most peaceful.

Or the Swiss. Their very name iircalbs of peace. yet five hundred years ago they were the most criiol and warlike people.
