contest is among teams composed of three young men from each county chosen and trained by the dis trict representative of the de partment of agriculture before a young man is eligible he must be under 25 years of age and must have attended one of the annual winter courses in agri culture given by the district representative the contest comprises the jud ging of two classes of heavy tor ses two classes of dairy cattle two of beef cattle two of sheep and two of swine individual cash prizes are- given in each class of stock and for the team winning the highest number of points a very handsome silver cup donated by the late minis ter of agriculture for ontario hon james duff and silver medals for each member i of the winning team the team sent from york county this year was composed of harry hill aurora james hope pine orchard and charlie boynton dollar these menn all did excellent work and not only succeeded in winning the duff trophy and medals but won a large share of the individual cash cash prizes besides thus winning a great deal of honour for themselves aswell as the county of york and mr j g steckley newmarket who selec ted and coached the team there were twentyone counties entered i in the contest the following is the standing of the four counties standing highest in the contest york 2357 durham 2289 sim- coe 2241 waterloo 1211 besides the honor these voung men received valuable experience which will beof use to them in after life this should be a great incentive for other young men to take a winter course in agriculture and try for a place on the team for the next year the course this winter will be held at unionville and will be worth while for any young man to make a special effort to at tend for transmission to the pine the disease is dependent on the cur rant and gooseberry- bushes the act that it cannot spread direct ly from one pine to another of fers a means of control and no effort should be spared to com bat the rust by exterminating the currant and gooseqerry bus hes in infected or exposed dis tricts or at least by prohibit ing the shipment from these regi ons of all currant and gooseberry bushes and fruit and by placing an embargo on the importation of such stock unfortunately the wild gooseberry is equally dangerous as an intermediary in spreading the disease aay loss entailed by even the total destruction of the whole currant family is insignificant compared to the value of i the white pine in canada in 1914 the white pine production of eas tern canada including logs and sawn lumber totalled sixteen million one hundred and sixty thousand dollar the cutting and manufacture of this timber furni6hesemploymcnt to thous ands of men and supplies hund reds of industries with tgwitaia- terial for which no satisfactory j substitute can be secured- the white pine is one of the most important tax payers in canada and contributes no less than one mijlion and a quarter dollars to the total revenue of about four millions which the four eastern provinces derive annually from their forests in view of these facts it is evident that drastic measures should be taken at once to eradicate the disease which threatens this resource mongolia white pine blister rust through the invasion of the white pine blister rust a viru lent fungus disease imported from germany about seven years ago canada is seriously threat ened with the extermination of her white pine resources probab ly the most valuable forest as set of eastern canada this disease has destroyed the white pine in europe has made serious ravages in the pineries of tho northeastern states and is now spreading in ontario and quebec centres of invasion arc scattered from maine to minnesota in the united states and from south
