Peace is the high goal of all activttiivs ot the Canadian Industrial Preparedness Association. The members of this Association and their "1me industrial dofcnco preparedness commutes have “tucked his problem in a uniquely Canadian war-voluntary action without compensation whonovc‘r requested by our Government's authorized Wnlalivu We can have peace for many years to come, but only at a price The cost to every mum will be In putting forward as much snort to win the peace it they would in winning a var.

Agricultural chemists came out with two new lethal poisons far superior to those used previously. Industry made these available to western farmers in great quanti- ties. Provincial governments made them available to the farmers through their municipalities. A Bood of educational publicity was turned loose early in the year in the press, on the radio, through lectures by local agricultural representatives. Every westerner was so grasshopper-conscious by the time the 'hoppers hatched, they anew exactly what to do to stem the invasion. And they did it. The ultimate cost of our participation in the Second World War, including expenditures already made and commitments already named. will take us many years to pay for it, We cannot attord an encore. In our past efforts to secure peace, we have tried limin- tion of amount, "peace treaties", lsolationism, armed neutrality, pious reaolutiomt, moral suasmn. threatening notes, appeasement and paci- tum, The only trouble was that none of them worked. We found no peace. President Truman said on January 20th, 1949: "If we can make It trumeiently clear in advance that any armed attack affecting our Natlon's security would be met with overwhelming force, the armed duck might never occur .. Obvious overwhelming retaliatory po- tential may well deter gangster nations from a career of world con- oust. Peace is the most important business in the civilized world today. For today time is the mast precious commodity the world has ever known m all its history. Pur quest for peace leads along a very narrow road, On one side is the precipice of a possible Third World War, and we have been uncomfortably close to the edge on several recent occasions. The precipice is still there. On the other aide lurks the no less dangerous swamp of economic chaos-and its insi- dious spread already threatens to narrow still further the road ahead. In brief, our problem " not only to achieve peace-but also to avoid bankruptcy. The only way to "wjn" a war nowadays is to prevent it from getting started. Otherwise, the wilderness may well be the only "victor", Last fall, entomological surveys of western Canadian grain lands indicated 1949 would see one ofthe worst grasshopper plagues in the history of the prairie provinces. This was grim news to the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. For they know the grasshopper well. They recalled other years when the winged in- vaders came: great areas of lush countryside rendered completely barren as if the farmers themselves had carried out a scorched earth poiiey; empty grain elevators; empty pocketbooks; complete despera- During previous plagues little was accomplished to halt the voearious insect horde. Warnings of infestations often came too late. Inadequate methods were used to destroy the attackers. Destruction to crops was usually complete. This year matters were different After last year's plague teams ot entomologists went out in the field to determine the degree of infestation by counting grasshopper eggs. They found milliom' of them. They charted maps showing the extwnt of infestations in various areas of the provinces. They passed on the information to the people. . _ Quebec and the Western provinces all sent their favorite recipes and the use of them in the various restaurants and calms places soon proved their worth. Fresh vegetables and fruits have taken the place of the tinned variety, Deep-dish apple pie from an ancient Nova Scotia recipe has taken the place of the Boston cream pie, And com- plimems have taken the place of the gripes the Americans used to have about the food served in Canada. As one of the beanery boys finally confessed. "Those Jaycees dlowed us plenty, and their ideas have certainly paid us dividends" The Jaycees have gone far since embarking on the "good food for tourists" program. Radio programs were instigated in an et%rt to educate the "beanery" operators as to what food should be served and how it should be prepared. Southern fried chicken, Boston cream pie and other so-called American dishes were booted off the menus and in there places were typical Canadian dishes, not taken from a baking company cook book, but from old worn exercise books, that had their recipes written in faded long hand The Manama, Ontario, According to President Clare Rudow of the Kitchener chapter, "our future is tied up In the future of this country. If it prospert. We prosper. And there isn't any money that comes into Canada so spontaneously as the American dollars," The "Jaycees" as the members call themselves, claim that roads and car services are being taken care of, and the main gnpe of tour- bts is the food. They say that the steaks are tough, the coffee weak and that tinned juices and vegetables are used even when thy same Members of the Canadian Junior Chambers ot Commerce throughout Canada feel that the $270,000,000 broukht to Canada by American tourists is worth trying to hold on to.

As the laboratories of the Plant Products Division, Domin. lion Department of Agriculture. 'issue reports used in the admin- Iistration of the Seeds Act, it Ls important that results of a germi- iara test made at one time or (by one laboratory should be re- ‘peatable at another time or by an- other laboratory. Thus, the ger- mination test is to be looked upon as a sort of yard-stick by which the value of a lot of seed may be measured against another lot of seed or against the standards laid down in the Act. In order to make tests repeatable, the condi- tions of test are carefully stan- dardized. i It is important to note that the expression "normal sprouts“ has itreen used. If a samp e is ot un- usually high vitality all the sprouts may be normal. but more often some of them cannot be counted as such, A normal sprout is dethted as one which is likely to produce a normal plant under favorable conditions in the field. As it is impossible for the labortory to know the conditions under which a lot of seed will eyentually be sown, it must pro- vide the most favorable condi, tions possible in the test and then judge whether the sgrouts that grow are to be counte as normal or abnormal. The accurate judg- ment of sprouts requires careful training and detailed inspection of each sprout when making the ger- mination count. Ill [A'fIILOO In making a seed germination test the usual procedure is to place a known number of seeds, generally 100, either on a wet blotter or between folds of wet blotting paper or on top ot damp sand or in sand, depending on the kind of seed being tested. Not less than two such teats, and often four, are made on each sample. The tests are held at a standard 'tgrower,',',,' depending on the kin of seed being tested. After period of time, which also de- pends on the kind Olseed bein tested, the sprouts are 'uf/dt and the number per cent of nor- mal sprouts is reported.

Convector-radiators are enclosed in attractive metal cabinets which lend a note of distinction to mo- dern rooms and may be painted to blend or contrast with the co- lor scheme of adjoining walls. In addition to the boiler, check your heat distribution system too. Summer is the best mile to hr- place worn out room heating units in preparation for healthful comfort next winter. Where comfort is lacking many times the trouble lies with antiquated heat outlets which have out-lived their usefulness, Now is the time to check your heating system in preparation for the next heating season.

It may be obtained by writing to the De partment at Ottawa, and asking for Publication 820. Poison ivy occurs in all pro-l Vinces of Canada, but it grows in greatest profusion in Ontario arld, western Quebec. It adapts itself} to a variety of growing condi- tions: wet or dry. shaded or sunr ny, and to almost any type of soil from pure sand or rocky ground, to rich woodland loam. It is efpeal cially prevalent on shores, along; roadways and railwafv tracks, anti, in rocky situations. n farm land it is confined ehiefiy to undis-l turbed borders. 1 No one really wants to be on speaking terms With poison gt' But it is not a bad idea to be able to recognize it, to know what to do if you come in contact with it, and to know how to get rid of the plants. It has a habit of growing in the least expected places, and unless it is recognized immediate- ly, the consequences can be most unpleasant. Some people can work in or with poison ivy for years, or even handle the plants without ill effects, but sooner or later even these apparently im- mune individuals become suscept- ible. But these people are excep- tionable, and to the average, it is Just what its name impti-oi..
