It was utterly wqrthlegg 1°;- most of thejvurposss that leather is used for, because it was thickly dril- led with ‘pull neat holes, the wqrk 9g the warble srub. Some time ago 1 made the remark that man. who has destroyed whole races of birch and beasts, has neyer extermin ted u single tribe of insects. Now g w"- ble or heel fly and the Bot fly are, the two most vulnerable as their lire history shows, andtwo years‘ close unanimous work would be sufficient’ to exterminate them; Th5 wm-ble fly lays its e885 on the_heels', legs, and thighs of cattle, and in about three days the eggs hatch out and the young grubc penetrate the skill.

WHY R-HUBARB IS SPINDLY.

A neighbor asks me why his rhu- barb grows such thin stalks; and I believe that this information which 1 received from the Dominionl-Iortlcul. turist long ago; Will set my friend on the right track’. . . . . fMy observation inlegard to rhu- barb is that it requires a deep rich soil to do its best. On light soils and I think on sour soils it does not give as satlsfactoryresults, It should be manured heavily. everywhere, even on 800d soils, for the best resultes, One reason why stalks become thin in this country is that people cut rhubarb al- most to ‘death. There b so little else from outside to eat until fairly late in the season. that people keep on pulllngmhubarb stalks until they are so weakenedthat it is not possible for them to make strong stalks. One talks aboutbats having ninelives. but Ithink that rhubarb has a. cat all beaten... .I fancy your soil is not rich enough for it-Z’ Rhubarb ‘likes a. damp, deep, rich soil, and in order to have this it is =1 _c°opm.aw m m, “u” of thug prob- gobd .913“ w. auto. iremo or W round the bed ind fill with manure from year to "year rots down it forms arlch soil which er. last lg of considerable depth M"! holds the moisture. well.

Forest Insects

While attending the British Em- Dire Porest Conference. held in Aus- tralia and New Zealand tut summer, Dr. J. M. Swalne. the_Associcte Do- minion Entomologist, r991; the Qppqr- W111i)’ i" present a paper on forest entomology and lts\ development in Canada.‘ This paper‘. which has been issued as Panlphlet No. or of the De- partment of Agriculture. at Ottawa, gives a very graphic view of the pres- ent forest insect problems and the means that are being taken to solve them. In looking to ‘the future of forest protection. Dr. Bwalne pointed out that a" attempt must be made to provide for permanent control of in- sect conditions through systems of forest management that will render the forest immune from insect at- tacks. Preventive measures and con- trol meuure-hjho pointed out. must depend on the nature of the attack, the habits of the-insects. the reac- tion of the trees to he injury. and upon local conditions respecting man- agement of the forest.

The importation and distribution of parasites and the’ protection of in- aectfiercus birds are mentioned as promising methods for development. The value of these. Dr. Swaine states, should be strongly emphasiz- ed. » In meetingsome of the difficulties yet to be solved in insect control, in- vestigators in entoniololy- Mycology and silviculture are recommended to

lems so that the result of their in- vestlgations can be. incorporated into plans for forest management.

governmcnt has appropriated funds to undertake a campaign tn control this pest. That the pest can be _con-‘ trolled "comparatively ‘easily has been demonstrated, by washing the backs of the stock during March-the 11ml! the warblee‘ appear on the back-with a solution of creolin. The warble-s can be killed by this treatment. If a general campaign was carried on on the part of farmers this pest could be practically eliminated. The loss is" not alone from the warbles but also the annoyance caused during the summer ‘months’ from the files produced from

aw w. n. SHAW ‘superintendent

111v, Stock

The spirit of co-operatlon has de- veloped more rapidly among our pro- vincial farmers than any other clas- ses in Canada. The idea became cry- stallized with the establishment of the co-operative Creameries and Cheese Factories, which were fol- lowed by the organization of the Egg and Poultry Association, the Wool Growers’ Association, the Potato Growers’ Association, and with Ship- ping Clubs which now cover almost the entire Province and place this most beneficial‘ selling agency within the reach of every farmer. Twenty-five years ago, each farmer was compelled to be his own sales- man and clear of the products of the cog-operative Creameries. all other farm commodities were sold by the system of barter, creating a dissatis- faction that is always associated with such method. Due to the formation of the various organizations now con- ducted in the Province, each indiv- idual producer has the benefit of an experienced market-man, and in- stead of having to submit to the- hard bargaining system of individual sales. henow is able to secure the services of experienced salesman, for all of the products that are raised on his farm. The advantages of such organ- izations must be obvious m anyone, as the benefits of co-operativc organiza- tions are reflected for beyond the ranks of their members. If a Ship- ping Club is in existence in any given territory, it establishes a higher range of values for all hogs and lamb products raised in that community- Ifan Egg-Circle ls operated in any territory, all individual buyers are compelled to meet the prices paid by the co-operatlve organization. Since the establishment of the Potato Growers‘ Association, the price of fertilizer and spraying materials has been greatly reduced by the indepen- dent dealers in these commodities. The value of the advertising and scl- ling of - Prince Edward Island certi- fied Seed Potatoes has been of almost immeasurable benefit to potaw grow- ers. ‘There is a well established axiom, that it is easier to buy than sell, and it is inestimably easier to buy from a dozen or two dozen sellers than from One man offering any particular corn- modity that has a ‘well-established reputation, such as out Butter, E365

y and Potatoes. particularly our justly

celebrated certified iced. We have had, during the past Season, many ‘ Meeting; and a variety oi suggestions, as to the best means o! advertisinz and selling our potato crop. It has always been our belief that when Prince Edward Island commercial potatoes are bringing from ten W thirty-five cents a bag higher than any other competitor. as they have frequently done during the past thrco years-that they are already very ef- fectively advertlsed, or this desirable condition would not be obtained. However, we have always felt that the" sale of. certified seed Potatoes should me in the hands of only one WWW" cial salesman. Those who are familiar with the wheat-pool of Canada, are aware of the benefits arising from co- operative marketing of 200,000.00!) bushels of Canadian northern wheat by one salesman. This high quality product that is in such demand by millers all over world, is now boih?! controlled through massed selling. We have been informed by those who are lh g position t4 know. that the-forma- tion and operation of the wheat-W“ organisation placed at least $50301‘ 000 a. year additional wealth in tho pockets of the western Canadian farmers. If all of the certified seed were in Prince Edward Island real- ised the benefits that would lrilo through polling their seed croP through only one channel, our form- ers would be receiving 111ml! ihiill-i" gnde of dollars which they to 110W resin; through dutrlvctive competl tkm, engendered by doaens of seller! offering their whim in ~ volitio- wlthjaeh other.

future prosperity and value of the industry. The argument is frequently used that igthe Potato Growers‘ lis- sociatlon cannot sell all the seed grown at the higher price, the farmer is entitled to dispose of the balance wherever he can to the best advant- Bke. This argument is not co-opera- tlvely sound, as such action will even- tually destory the market for g. large quantity of seed that has in the past. been sold at a gratifying percentage above the commercial value. It would pay our growers to market all the balance remaining that the Association may not. be able to sell for seed, as com; mercial stock. Any commodity that has gained such an enviable reputa- tion as Prince Edward Island certi- fied seed potatoes should be sold only through the Potato Growers‘ Co-op- erativa organization, by one indivi- dual salesman. , The same we feel, is also true of such commodities as Butter and Egg! the; are marketed in the Maritimes. Complaint has frequently reached u! from Nova Bcotia dairymen, that a number of our Factories were actual- ly quoting Butter three or four cents below the market price on that par- ticular date. New that all Butter is graded and muse _be sold'by that method, one salesman in the Marl- tlme Provinces could sell to great ad- vantage at uniform and standard prices all the Butter that is produced in our Maritime factories. As it is at the present time, the buyers are able to use the offerings of one competi- tor to force down the quotations of. another. The situation regarding Eggs is very similar and we feel that it would be greatly to the advantage of the producers of eggs in the Miri- times if this commodity was market- ed through one selling agency, ‘rhoss who have any knowledge of the mar- keting of livestock are aware of the benefits that have accrued to the Maritime stock raisers. through the marketing of livestock by The oeu- tral Marketing 'Board at Moncton. In 1924 the writer knew of a number: of farmers who organized to ship oo-OP- eratively a carload of hogs to Tho Montreal lviarket. ‘They were offered
