In clay loam soils he found that the first maggot attack started late in July or early in August, and that there was only one com- plete brood of maggots during the entire season.

Experimental Farm, Charlotte- town, re the time when the mag- gots will probably attack their area. and the best treatment to lessen the injury from this pest. There are certain parasites that kill the root maggot flies. eggs and larvae. Work to increase these in under way. Dry weather and nat- ural enemies will reduce and sometimes almost climinatc in- jury by the maggots.

It has been observed that late planting of swede turnips in light soil areas has resulted in lighter maggot infestations; and that early planting of turnips in the heavier soil areas has also resulted in crops with less injury from turnip maggots. In some of the West- ern Provinct investigatlonal work and remedial methods have resul- ted in adequate control of maggots attacking swede turnips. In Prince Edward Island, however. standard methods and even the newer in- secticides have been ineffective in controlling the pest.

Mr. Read in his paper gave de- tails re spraying with DDT. and other methods of control. He has designed a , ' ' machine for the precision placement of soil treat- ment at the time of seeding the swede turnips. with heptachlor or aldrin in a 5-inch band 1'6 inches below the turnip seed in a ridged seeding drill. Hand-operated mach- Ines, applying 5 pounds of insect- icide per acre. have been used by many farmers throughout the pro- vince. This has given e: cellcnt con- trol of root maggots in all types of soil.

FOR QUIET HOLIDAY READ ”Take your was a bit of advice given by a young woman to one starting on a holiday. "Till I come give at- tendance to rcatiiiig" was a word written by St. Paul to a youtlifui friend and fellow-worker, and the New Standard Version suggests that this too meant the reading of Scripture. One of the i)ll..iSllf0S we expect from a holiday is the chance it offers for quiet reading. But what to read? is often hard to answer. A Canadian huniorisl dcscrihes the shelf ot' books he took with him on a holiday at Lake Mul- drew, not one of WIli('ll he opened as he tried to adjust himself to camplife in that charming spot. But if it is impossible to master Plato or Browning in the brief breathing spell allowed to many of us, it is possible to rcad sonic- thing that will be an inspiration for the busy days ahead. A holiday is no time to stuff your mind with trash. "On! Any- thing you've got” a young woman on a train said in a tired voice to the "newsie" when he came along with magazines and a book or t-wo. She would have resented poor food in the dining car. but it didn't matter what she poured into her mind so long as she was diverted. But the nourisliincnt of the mind is as necessary for health and happiness as the feed- ing of the body. EVERY DAY By all means. take your Bible along and read it every day. Why not make your holiday an oppor- tunity to familiarize yourself with some book of the New Testament -for instance the Epistle to the Romans. by St. Paul. or the Gos- pel of Luke by St. Paul's pliy- sician and friend. You will need to read them over and over and over, and you will find more that is new on the third or fourth read- ing than on the first. There is nothing finer in all lit- erature than chapters 8 and 12 of Romans cxcept Christ's doc trine of love without limit in hiat- thew 5 or Ills parables of the lost sheep. the lost coin and the lost son in Luke 15. Was it not Renan who called

not Colridge call Romans the pro- foundest book in existence? If these are too big. take a look at the heights and depths of that lit tle letter to the Philippians or at the simplicity of St, Mark's ac- count of Jesus ministry.

But ncvcr a cursory glance in any case ihc Bible rcquires close and persistent attention. BROWNING RECKONS

Then thcrc is a hook tome- whcre on your shelves that you have looked at foi' ycars and have never had time to road. For ex- ample. I have never given Alex- ander Pope is t'IlllIlC-E at my mind. Again and again I have pceked into the beautiful volumc of his poems given me by a friend some time ago. but have never really read through one of his writings. I am hoping to l('I him try his hand on me this silnimcr.

Robert Browning is bcckoiiiiiv again, but I am too intlolcnf to tackle Paracclsus or Sordello for summer ciitcrtainmcnt. Stratforti is calling us back to Sliakespearc.

to that appeal.

Why not make this holiday an opportunity for renewing your acquaintance with some great book which thrilled you in earlier years? No book of real quality and content can yield its full mes- sage on a single reading, and. as you return to a former favorite with your own experience deep- ened by the years. you will be rewarded by the richer thought and inspiration it will bring you. THE GREAT UNKNOWN'

There is a story told of the ear- ly days of the Waverley novels to the effect that an old Scottish min- lsicr was seen hurrying away from church after the Sunday morning service. He was asked why he was hastening homeward. and answered: "Oh. there is a new book outdby The Great Un- known' and I am hurrying home to read it.” And that on the Sab- bath!

Well. "The Great Unknown" has not yet lost his power to charm and inspire, and there are many writers since Scott's time of price- lcss worth to a receptive mind.

There are writers of today in

There is one type of book that one should never lcavc behind, and that is the devotional helps he is accustomed to use. Wc have just heard from some Canadian graduates in Britain who toil us of the help they have found in Les- lie Weatherhcadls preaching and writings.
