Means for lessening this dan-! ger, advised by an animal husbandry`. l 1 experts, include ': Never turn a cow out on alfalfa pasture on an empty stomach; give a small feed of dry hay before turning out; have a sup-1 ply of water available in or near`, the pasture at all times; don't turn .' y ( the cows out onto a freshly irrigat- it ed pasture, or a pasture reeking wet :1 from rain, heavy dew or coated with 1 1 frost. Much of the danger may al- i so be avoided by mixing grass with I alfalfa in seeding down the pastures. ` The cows prefer grass to legumes such as alfalfa or sweet clover and will take the edge off their a.ppe~ tites before feeding on these. l 1 I Cont:-Dlling Slugs Garden slugs are always most abundant in wet seasons or in moist situations. They emerge at ni_e'h;:, hiding during `the day beneath the soil, and they feed chiey on the undr-r-surfaces of the leaves of beans, lettuce, cabbage. cauliower and such like plants. They rasp 0!? the epidermis of the leaves and where the infestation is heavy, severe injury is occasioned. Like all other pests, these animals can br- more easily controlled if remedial measures are applied when they are: small and few in number. Accordm - ingly, the amateur gardener and the commercial growers whose crops are being attacked matter immediate attention. T-n Flnsfrzvn (Tnnnrln H-in elntrc mm 1 t 2 I should give the!` t HldLl.UL' lIIHIlE(ll'1Tze a.Lt/entlon. In Eastern Canada, the slugs are controlled by dusting the infested plants with hydrated lime in the evening after the sun has gone down and the feeding` commenced. Care should be taken to cover the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves and the soil immediately surround- ing the plants. Hydrated limeis ef- fective only when in the form of a light dry powder. If it becomes hard when subjected to moisture, it is non-injurious to the slugs. Con- sequently a few light applications oi the lime at intervals of three or ' four days is much more effective than one heavy dose. Another method recommended is to spray the plans with Bordeaux mixture. Current Crop Reports The yield per acre of alfalfa, hay and clover will rarrge from normal to above normal in Central and Southwestern Ontario. In Eastern Ontario the per acre yield will be below normal and in Northern On- tario considerably below. Kenora, Manitoulin, Nipissing: and T(-mis- kaming report the yield 50 per cent. below average due to winter kill- in}: and heavy losses of new seed ings during the past two summers. As a result the total production of hay and clover is expected to be somewhat below normal.` Cutting of hay and clover generally ranged from ve to ten days later than first cutting of alfalfa. Wet wea~ ther interfered greatly with haying operations in parts of Southern Ontario. The acreage of new seed- inzs has made excellent growth in Old Ontario, but only fair to rather unsatisfactory development in North- ern Ontario due to dry weather.

Fieldner, president of the American Society for Testing Ma- -`te-rials, gave an interesting address `at the annual meting in New York recently on the subject of Fuels oi To-day and To-morrow. l nal r-nnehmha 514 he)` cent. 01 1'0-day and 1'o-morrow." l Coal constituted 84 per cent. oi 'the fuel for domestic and miscellan- eous purposes, 73 pcr cent. for in- dustrial use and public utility power, and 57 per cent. for trans- portation; petroleum provided 43 per cent. of transportation fuel, in- cluding almost 100 per cent. of road `vehicles and airplane fuel, 73 per cent. of marine fuel, and. 11 per cent. of railroad fuel. Natural gas comprised 16 per cent. of industrial and public utility power consumption and 7 per cent. of. the domestic ant` miscellaneous needs. Since 1929, '7 per cent. of the total energy de- -mand has been transferred from an- thraci=t.e and bituminous coal to pc- troleum, natural gas and water power. After mxtlininzr the national fuel power. After outlining reserves, he discussed fuels of to- morrow ,indicating that gas, oil and coal are available to-day in abund- ance. There is coal enough fol hundreds, and possibly thousands of years, but natural gas and oil ob- tainable by present methods may be exhausted in less than 100 years, and a shortage of our domestic sup- ply may begin within 10 or 20 years. Hp indir-ntrnrl that coal Will con- and major industrial power. Tech- nologic improvements and new hydro-electric power will tend to re- duce the consumption of coal; on the other hand, an increasing demand for c-nerggv and a decreasing supply of cheap residual oil will increase the amount of coal consumed .for power purposes. No material change is expected in either direc- tion in the near future, but in 10 or 15 yars the trend will favor in- creased consumption of coal. To- morrow s power and central heating plant will burn any kind of coal coniplx-tely and efliciently. There will be no smoke. no (lu. and no sul phurou.--' _e*;1.~'--.< wnliitv-(l tn the amo- sphere. In discussing the motor f-uel sup- ply, one 01." the most interesting questions, he pointed to the predic- tion of Snider and l`h'ook.< that by 1945 tin-re was the prohubili ._\' of consitleralile shortapce of domestic petrol rum. Dr. il7`el(lner said that from the very hr-{:innin_L' of the automobile industry`, recurrin'_L: threats of shortage of gasoline were met--in the field. by finding new pools and improving production technique, and in the refinery, by inci-easing : yiel-(ls and making: a more elcicnt product. That end has not been reached. We are just beginning to use scientic methods in extracting ail from the sands, and catalytic polymerization and hydro- genation eventually will furnish the means for complete conversion of volatile liquids and heavy petroleum to grasoline. 9' `re .
