iievlevis Problein Oi Controlling Insects In P.E.l.

Mr. '1'. M. Can-non. director of the Dominion ” 'omologi 1 Lab- oratory of the Eaoperiznental Farm. Warlottettrwn. was guest speaker at lundieou at the Char- lottetown Hotel yesterday.

In reviewing some of die insect .p.&lems of Prince Edward Island. he said that there are about 640.- coo different. species of insects khown to man and there are about. 10,000 of these species in Prince Edward Island.

The difficulty of controlling these insects has multiplied in recent years due to the rapidity of trans- portation. Formerly insects en- tearing on the West Coast of Can- ada took several years in crossing the continent to the East coast. but today they may spread very quickly. It is now recognized that airplanes may carry tihese insects and entomologist have been em- ployed at some airports to inspect incoming planes for harmful in- sects.

Mr. Cannon mentioned the cut- worm which did such terrific darn- age to grainflelds lest, year. This post was first poticed two years ago and although efforts were made to control it, the outworms spread very quickly. Effective means of control have been found and the Department of Agriculture has been assisting farmers in the purchase of the insecticide used. He was unable to say if the cut- worm would present a greater or less hazard to the farmers next season.

The turnip maggot was another insect which caused great loss to iarmers. Mr. Cannommentioned one farmer who depended upon the lurnltps for a cash crop. In a good season this farmer was able to harvest about 12,000 bushels to the acre. and last year had 20 acres which were a total loss due to the depredatlon of the maggot.

The potato aphids are ' a great deal of trouble and although a chemical has been discovered which gives about 80 per cent con- trol, ii is yet too dangerous for general use.

aroublesorne Ant

In Charlottetown a troublesome little red am. has been spreading quickly. Discovered about two years ago. this one originally from the tropics, is smaller than the native red ants. and has become difficult to erradicste. Mr. Can- non .se'1d that restaurants found this insect particularly embarrass- ing for although it is not the bit- ing type. its sudden appearance on the table or counter has had undesirable effects. During the present year some homes have re- ported these unwelcome guests.

Practically all insect pests mul- tiply and develop much more rapidly than is realized. The Ja- ,.aness beetle. is a. good example. Fortunately there is as yet none in the Province, but they are be- ginning to make inroads in some parts of Canada. it has been estimated that mosquitoes number- ing in billions may result from a single infested rain water barrel during one season.

In concluding Mr. Cannon men- tioned that in addition to chemi- cal control, the Government is maintel ' a. ltboratory at Bel- vllle, Ontario, where parasites of harmful insects are studied with a view to control through the pro- pagation of the pest's natural enemies. Many insects are held in check each year by distributing. in the lnlfested areas. parasites reared in this laboratory.

Two guests. Meurs. '1'. D. De- Blois and Ross Steneon. Montreal, were present. Roiarians D. M. Mc- Guire ond Rouel LeP.age were chairmen.

'Fiu Bepori Front Britain

LONDON. Jan. 29 - (Reuters) -Deaths from indluenza in Bri- tain have not yet reached their peak, I Health Ministry official said today.

''We have reason to believe the epidemic is flattening out in most areas," he said. "But complica- tions followlng through influenza are taking a heavy loll among persons over 55." '

Officigl Ministry of Health fig- uus last Friday showed 2,098 'flu deaths since the start of Decem- 'ber. The figures covered only re- ports from 126 major cities in Eng- land and Wales. Statistics for Scotland and Northern Ireland were not available.

The official said today the epide- mic is the worst Britain has known since 1937. Bull he added that there has been no high mortality rate among--young adults men as occurred in that of 1918.

Pneumonia aggravated -by in- fluenza has increased. During the week ending Jen. 13 there were 1.538 acute. cases in England and Wales. The total. for the corres- ponding week last year was 991.

In the week. ended Jan. 20,

deaths from pneumonia in Eng- 1aM Mid Wales fell by 142 to 813.

New Parliamentary Session Opens Today

OTTAWA. Jan. 29 - (OP) - Par- liament. quietly closed its special 1950 sitting today and promptly prepared for the opening tomorrow of a 1&1 session which will be darn- inated by defence legislation and the threat of a new world war.

Today's prcrogatlon ceremony was mere formality. It wound up the two-week special session of last aeptember. which had been left ad- journed should a worsening inter- national situation require a. quick summoning of Parliament.

Tomorrow. the parliamentarians will buckle down to their legisla- tive duties when the Governor-Gem eral meets them in the Senate

the Throne, detailing the Govern- ment's program for the new ses- slori.

What that program will involve remains a state secret until vis- cc-unt Alexander reads the speech.

Legislation Anticipated

However. it is a foregone conclu- sion in parliamentary circles that it will foreshadow an expanded de- fence program. sharp increases in taxes, new defence purchasing and stand-by control measures and per- haps an appeal for more volunteers for the armed forces.

The speech from the Throne road at today's ceremony by the Govem- or-Genera1's deputy. Chief Justice Thlbaudeau Rinfret. did little more than review the legislation adopted at last September's sitting.

These measures included the bill to end the nine-day railway strike. a measure placing the med forces cn active service. specia legislation for the 10.000-man special force and bills to regulate consumer credit and to provide for allocation of es- sential materials.
