EAST, BEAMSVILLE <]| TOMORROW §ave wisely TODAY â€" for Sweden‘s experiments are being followed with interest by foreign experts here. The American and Netherlands Legations in Stockâ€" holm have sent representatives to Jamtland to study the plantations. The Soviet Legation, in Stockâ€" holm, which the Swedish authoriâ€" ties approached after hearing of the Siberian experiments, has helpâ€" ed with practical advice and preâ€" sented the Department of Agriculâ€" ture with 800 seedlings from apple species which have flourished in Siberia, A group of Swedish hortiâ€" culturists will spend some time there next year studying Russian methods on the spot. It is hoped that experience gainâ€" ed in Siberia and Jamtland will enâ€" able reasonably good crops of apâ€" ples and other fruit, including peaâ€" ches, to be produced in extreme northern Sweden in three years‘ time. One big difficulty at present is the shortage of trained gardenâ€" ers to carry out the skilled operâ€" ations of pruning and binding the trees. Experimental apple trees plantâ€" ed last year at Odensala in Jamtâ€" land have yielded well, but others further north near Iuled have been less successful. "One big trouble is our capriâ€" cious snow," said Prof. Fredrik Nilsson, one of the natural scienâ€" tists supervising the experiments. ‘"In some winters we can have inâ€" tense cold without a good fall of snow to blanket the trees." In winter, when temperatures fal Ito minus 40 degrees Centigrade these low branches are covered by snow, which protects them from a biting atmosphere that is fierce enough to wither and blacken a bunch of flowers in a few seconds. In summer, the spreading branches of the "crawling" trees are well exâ€" posed to the hot sun, which is up nearly 24 hours a day. By pruning and binding, the trees are made to grow out inâ€" stead of up so that their branches run parallel to the ground and only a few inches above it. A brief summary of the life hisâ€" tory of the oriental peach moth was given by G. G. Dustan, who stated that the larvae winters in cocoons which may be found on the trees, in trash on the ground beâ€" neath the trees or in containers which have been used in harvestâ€" ing the peach crop during the preâ€" vious summer. At this stage the insect is not susceptible to insectiâ€" cides and the only control measâ€" ure advised is the storing of conâ€" tainers in a closed mothproof room until the first of July to prevent emerging about peach time. The first brood of moths, Mr. Dustan said, commence emerging about the time Elberta peach blossoms show pink, reaching their peak emergence by the time the blosâ€" The Swedish Department of Agriculture, organizing the experiâ€" ments with local horticultural socâ€" ieties in Jamtland and farther north, inside the (Polar Circle, is working on a principle successfulâ€" ly tested by Soviet natural scienâ€" tists in Siberia. Experiments with "crawling" fruit trees are expected to lead to good crops of apples, pears, plums and even peaches in Arctic Sweden by 1950. Mr. Ross warned, "If it becomes necessary to establish and enforce tolerance of spray residue. SWEDISH RESEARCHERS SEEK HARDY FRUIT TREES IN ARCTIC In his introductory remarks Mr. lRoss mentioned a number of facts : to be taken into consideration by {the growers in instituting â€"Control | measures. "In most seasons since !the early 30‘s," Mr. Ross stated, ‘"the moth has been well controlâ€" ’led by parasites." D.D.T., although _extremely effective as a controlâ€" lling agent, he warned, is a twoâ€" edged weapon and if used indisâ€" crimminately may do as much harm as good by upsetting the naâ€" tural biological balance. In many parts of North America he stated, the use of ID.D.T. has created a serious mite problem by destroying the natural enemies of the mite. Because of this there will be @a marked decrease in its use in the Pacific states. A fairly successful split program has been worked out for apples, he stated, which will obâ€" viate the complications of a D.D.T.| program. A similar program has| been planned for peaches and will' appear in the 1948 spray calendar.| A further problem to be taken into consideration regarding the use of D.D.T. dealt was the possiâ€" bility of building up excessive spray residue. "It will be too bad". ___Keen interest in the control of the Oriental peach moth was eviâ€" denced by the large number of growers filling Victoria Hall to capacity to hear the latest recomâ€" mendations of entomologists reâ€" garding control measures. W. A. Ross, chief fruit insects investiâ€" gator for Canada, was in charge of the meeting. Other speakers were H. R. Boyce, of the Dominion iParaâ€" site Laboratory, Belleville, and G. G. Dunstan, of the Fruit Insects Laboratory, Vineland. ; GROWERS DISCUSS CONTROL OF ORIENTAL PEACH MOTH THE â€"â€" GRIMSEBY . INDEPENDENT Success with the new treatment for some of the most common types of mental sickness, such as schizophrenia and maniacâ€"depresâ€" sive phychosis, was reported to the American Psychiatric Association independently by Dr. W.

Denouncing fear, anxiety and worry over health as harmful, the Department of National Health and Welfare, Ottawa, has issued a call to martyrs to illness to battle their vilments. Instead of "grinning and bearing it," the person who actualâ€" ‘y seems to enjoy being an inrvadid should strive for better health, says In his address Mr. Bovee recallâ€" ed that the first serious infestation of the oriental moth was recorded in this district in 1927, being first noticed in orchards ir the Queenâ€" ston, Niagaraâ€"onâ€"theâ€"Lake area. Since the pest was known to be controlled in other districts by the macrocentris parasite, it was deâ€" cided to introduce it in Ontario, the first shipment being brought from New Jersey in 1929. Since that time these parasites have been proâ€" pogated extenrsively in the laboraâ€" tory in Belleville and distriblited throughout the Niagara peninsula. i health officer, pointing out that ‘n many cases such fear and worry is a form of selfâ€"indulgence. _ It is the third brood of moths emerging from the middle of Augâ€" ust to September which does the most damage to the fruit, the speaker stated, most injury being of the visible type. Because of their hardness the larvae can no longer enter twigs and are thereâ€" fore no longer susceptible to atâ€" tack by parasites. The ripening peaches, however, are readily enâ€" tered and in favourable weather conditions a great deal of damage may he done. Cool evenings in Sepâ€" tember which would reduce egg laying also mear less damage to fruit, whereas exceptionally‘ warm weather as experienced during the last season means increased injury. [soms are falling. From early in May until the end of June there is a continuous emergence of first brood mioths. Eiggs laying begins, he stated, one week after emergâ€" !en-ce, the larvae hatching in about nine days. These larvae attack the young succulent twigs of the peach tree and may at this time fall prey to the parasites ~which. attack shortly after the larvae enter the twigs. Extended cool weather in May will result in very little egg laying and a reduced second brood of moth. For this spring brood, D.J D.T. is not recommended since damage is confined almost entirely to twigs and an early spray would have a serious effect in the paraâ€" site population. 1 wl 1 4 [z 7cRA \©i ” aa||\ _ 77 || '///(/%/f/ V 'M ' |“‘I ‘\ \\ ’”./// ///(//(( \ mrep"| o9 ) TTUVU7 |_| & im l"* l !mfl-s! ,’f§§ mat L\ l tss tss Nes3 B \\\\ ‘}‘.\,\ :.“‘ U'\ ‘v‘\ | W‘\ '\‘” ie { %';/" 7 â€"â€" \ im 4 ) ~<= ////4 Mn L F78 MOYVLDERS OF CANADA UNLIMITED ARTYRS TO ILLNESS mwomsen 279 â€"ANO THEY MAKE 450500 Catis ANNUALLY .|lnnuli\\\H” Eyeâ€"sight which requires correcâ€" tion may account for poor grades of some school children, doctors declare.

None was more surprised than George Crum at the furore they caused and none more pleased and delighted. That was the origin of the potato chip. SATISFIES CUSTOMER INVENTS POTATO CHIP In 1853 George Crum was the head man in the kitchen of the famous Moon‘s Lake House at swanky Saratoga Springs, N.

And, as all good cooks, he was a proud man, boasting of his ability to please the fastidious gourmets habitually gracing the tables.
