Campaign Against Weeds The provincial authorities are leaving no stone upturned it! their campaign against weeds. Many oi Ithe highways have the usual proli- c crops along the sides of the road. .~Some of the farms throughout the country have crops of weeds which will soon be ripening and spreading their seeds to the four! winds. Delinquents in this respect will be given an opportunity to ex- plain the reason for their contempt of the law as soon- as the weed in- spector makes his rounds. The Turnip Aphid In connection with the control of the turnip aphid, enntomologists ad- vise the planting of two rows 01 white turnips in a eld of swedes as a trap crop for this insect. These aphids, which cause serious injury to young` turnips nlants `H1rn11-a1`h1 young turnips plants through! feeding on the leaves, com-monily reach Canadian poinlts in the late summer, but they may be expected earlier this year and probably to. cause greater injury. Past exper-I ience has shown that this in-sect pre- I, fers white t-o swede turnips, and{ may gather in huge numbers on 21': small number of white turnip` plants, leaving the swedes but light- ly infected.` The planting of a row of two of white turnips in with the main crop attracts the aphids to the trap plants so that they can be- destroyed easily with spray or dust or by being plowed under. The turnip aphids or plant lice make themselves apparent in a eld through individual plants becoming stunted it; growth and sickly in ap- pearance. Purple blotches may ap- pear on the surface of the leaf and these indicate large colonies on the under surfac. These infested plants should be pulled and removed at , once.

' This implement consists of a series of long slender teeth which form a very light harrow. The nger" weeder may be used to advantage on annual weeds, shortly after germ inanion, both before and after the grain crop has emerged and until the crop is some two to four inches high. Egg Shortage Coming In Ontario and Quebec provinces, according` to statements made by officials of the poultry services, there is reason to believe that lay- in;: stock is now below normal. There has been no great run in any one week, but the steady movement week by week over a long period has accounted for many more thous- ands of birds than is _1zeneral_v recog- nized.
