With Which Is InCorporated The Bowmanville News VOLUME 81 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 3th, 1935 NUMBER 22 FINAL PHASE 0F WARBLE FLY FIGHT NOW, SAYS SUMMERS The third and most important phase of the Warble Fly eradication campaign should be carried out im- mediately, according to advices from E. A. Summers, Agricultural Repre- sentative. The following suggest- ions may prove helpful te, the f ar- mers co-operating in the campaign: 1. This is the most important treatment as Dr. Stevenson. informs us that at least 75< ý of the late grubs are lied fly crubs. 2. Do not neglect the young stock that are on pasture. Possibly there is an old barn on the ranch, or a lane where the cattle could be en- closed for treatment. Even a couple of wire gates or rails could form an enclosure in the corner of a field. 3. You may frnd a few grubs ap- pearing on the older cattle that didn't show any earlier. In Oxford County last year they found an odd grub appearing in July and even Au- -gust on the older stock. 4. Watch for these late grubs and be sure to treat them. If only an odd lump appears a squirt of the so- lution froin an ol can in the open- ing would kili the grub. 5. Use a curry comb to remove the scabs before applying the wash with a stiff brush. The success o! the year's work depends on how thoroughly each does the treatment. 6. Mix 1 part of powder to f ive parts of water by measure. 7. Let our Motto be "No Warble Grub will be aliowed te escape this year". Chicicen House and A Thousand Cliicks rBurn EarlySunday G. B.

Mr. Bickle stated there was little insurance on the building and that the damage wauld be close to $1500. He believ- ed the blaze had started f rom ail brooders which were in the building.

Party "Capitalism bas outlived its use- fulness and it hs time for a new Lsocial order", stated Mayor James Simpson, at a meeting under the auspices o! the Durham County C. C. F. ln the Council Chamber Sun- day eveniug. The meeting, though late in starting, was weIl attended with Ronald Hletherington acting chair- man in the absence o! Ralph Staples. At the conclusion o! Mayor Simp- san's address, Mayor P. E. Pickering a! Lindsay, addressed the audience complimenting the distinguished visiter an bis excellent address. Mayor Simpson wasted no time with superficiaity, except ta express his opinion regardlng holding polit- ical meetings on Sunday. To hlm, Sunday was an institution which lias been recognized as af!ordlng man an appDrtunity ta advance tbat which is in tbe interest o! man, both in a spiritual aud social manner. We need to-day, ssld Mayor Simpson, a realignint o! aur political parties witb mare Chrlstianity in poltlcs so that tbey will not be so dirty tbat you can't talk about them on a-Sun- day. In the C. C. F. movement the speaker saw the fulfilîment o! bis own ides of responsibility towards men in the economic and social side o! 11f e. C. C. F. thinks along the lines tbat attention must be paid ta the living standards of men and we are only flirting with difficulties by neglecting the fundamental things and dealing in many cases, with superficial items. Christianity te the speaker meant patterning his life as closely as possible a!ter the life o! Christ who was interested In the welfare a! men. The present system, where groups o! men inter! ere wlth happy dis- tribution and monopolize the phY- sical snd material thlugs upon whlch we depend for aur existence, inter- feres with nman eujoyiug the type o! physical existence which .God had planned he should. A recognition o! buman brotherhood Is necessary, contlnued the speaker. Men upan whonx we rely for the direction and guidance 0f our nat- ion are belng compelled ta change their opinions, sald Mayor Simpson, quotlng recent staternents o! Prime Minister R. B.
