Combating Forest Insects An experiment in cantioliits the | dreaded spruce budworm by means of poisoned dust distributed over | 'the forest by aeroplane has been conducted by the Entomological B¥anch of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculure in co-operation with the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Provincial Forest Branch, of Nova Scotia, on an area near Orangedale, Cape Breton island. The investigations were later con- tinued on a larger scale in Guys- borough county between the towns Guysborough and Mulgrave, The |' plan of operations was revised and checked by the Research Division of the Forest Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior. The aeroplane employed was of the type used in the southern Uni- ted States for dusting the cotton fields to conrtol insects affecting cot- ton. The plane was obtained spe- cidlly for these forest dusting ex- periments, The insecticides chosen were those already in use for the control of orchard and cotton insects, name- ly: calelum-argenate and lead arsen- ate, in the form of a very fine pow- der, This powder is distributed duning flight at the discretion of the pilot from a specially designed hopper situated in the forward compartment of the plane. The machine flies within about twenty feet of the tree tops in the calm alr of early morning and a dense volume of the dust is swept back- ward by the wind from the propel- ler and swirls into and through the foliage in a wide swath, approxi- mately one hundred feet in width, covering the foliage completely with Acids in Stomach Cause Indigestion Medical authorities state that near.

"I was directing an early rehear- al of 'The Warrens of Virginia'-- h, this was 19 years ago--when 1 pre screams in childish falsetto iin the rear," he says. "There was a scuffle and another scream.

I want to. be an actress under your manage- ment, I've come here every day. I've used up all my carfare." Asks Her Name Something about the girl's en- thusiasm, the play of emotions across her mobile face, struck a re- sponsive chord in the producer's heart, and he looked at her and ask- ed her name, She was Gladys Mary Smith, But let him tell it: 'I have al- ways loved the name Mary. It is one of the most beautiful in our tongue and has associations which extended through centuries, back even to Gal- flee. So I told her: "Your first name shall he Mary, Always Mary, but I fear we can't use Smith, Suppose you name your relatives."

An- other point is that Indian tribes generally had two names--the name they gave themselves, and the name given them by their enemies--and in many cases the names which have been used by the white man have been "enemy" names. This accounts for the very uncomplimentary names which some Indian tribes bear. The record them proceeds to the effect that Great and Lesser Slave lakes and Slave river were named from a tribe of Indians which once dwelt in that region. These Indians called themselves Etchareottine which means "the people dwelling in the child's part in "The Warrens of Vir- shelter of the (Rocky) mountains." ginia," but at the end of the run he called her to him and told her frankly: "Child, you have a great future. That is why I placed you under a long contract, so I could train you. Now, if you were just a bit taller, T believe you would be one of the greatest women on the speaking stage, As it is I think your career is in the movies." And so Mary went west and David Wark Griffith discovered her and placed her on the screen, She was still under Belasco's contract and he named a salary for the movie people to pay her "five times as great as the average leading woman was then getting on the speaking stage." Mary Plekford according to Bel- asco, showed her lasting gratitude to him by coming back to him to play in one of his plays, interrupt- ing her screen work for a period. "Not a month passes," says Bel- asco, "That she does not write, and when I was injured by an automo- hile a few months ago, she was the first to flash her message of hope and good wishes across the contin- ent to me, She wanted me to recup- erate at Pickfair, that great estate Geographic Board of Canada, an interesting sidelight on the hls. tory of the Northwest and unn dian customs. it points out, characteristics of the cidents in the history of the tribe, or to associations of a tribe with a HOW GREAT SLAVE LAKE WAS NAMED Gougtaphic "Board Explains Origin of Names of Prom- inent Features How is it that in a country like Canada, where slavery has been an institution, the word "slave" should enter into the names of prom- inent geographical features, such as, Great Slave lake, Slave Lesser Slave lake?

When the more warlike Crees 'went on the warpath against the | tribes on the Peace river they came from the south in canoes to Lesser Slave lake, and leaving their canoes there, proceeded overland. It is therefore readily to be understood how war parties of Crees; finding that the lake-dwelling Indians did not possess their own war-like at- tributes and ideas, should show their contempt by bestowing on the lake- dwellers the epithet. "awonak" or "slaves." The first whine man to visit Great Slave lake was Samuel Hearne who reached the southeastern por- tion of the lake in 1772. He did not meet any Slave Indians and the name he applied to the lake was meaning, nossibly, the lake of the Athapascan Indians. The name is not known today, old In- dians referring to the lake as "hig lake." It is to Peter Pond that we owe the present name. On his maps, 1790, we find the names "lTotchin- ine", So un of no sa af th pr in- er in tine, "Great Slave," and "Slave." Lesser Slave lake is mentioned by Sir Alexander Mackenzie who learn- ed of the lake in 1792 from Indian hunters, the latter stating that it was called Slave lake by the Crees after its original inhabitants.

The objects of the work in Nova Scotia during the past summer were to determine the most effective kind of dust and the poundage per acre necessary to kill the caterpil- lars of the spruce budworm, to de- termine the cost of the operation on a large scale, and also to devise the most efficient methods for con- ducting such an enterprise on large forest areas, Series of carefully selected plots in infested timber, varying from eight hundred feet to two miles in length and from two hundred feet to a quarter of a mile in width, were treated with the poisoned dust in different degrees of concentration, The defoliation which occurs on these treated plots will be compared with that which occurs on selected untreated check areas in the surrounding forest, This experiment aims at attacking one of the greatest enemies of the forest from a new direction and ft offers practically the only hope of controlling spruce budworm out- breaks by any direc. means.

Altogether 1040 young animals, one, two and three vear olds were shipped from Wain- wright and arrived at their new lo- cation with trifling losses. As usual, shipment was by rail from Walin- wright to Waterways thence by scows down the Athabaska and Slave rivers to the point of unload- ing, which is a short distance above Fitzgerald. The wardens in Wood Buffalo park report that the animals shipped in 1925 and 1526 are doing well on the good herbage of this immense natural rangc and that many calves were seen, indicating that the herds are multiplying satisfactorily. A preliminary report has also been received on the reindeer investiga- tion which is now being carried on in the Mackenzie District of the Northwest Territories, and for which rurpose the Department of the In- terior engaged the services of two experts last year. These men spent the better part of lest season in Alaska securing information on the underlying reasons for the success of the industry there. The investigation in the Macken- zie District has for its objects the thorough scientific study of the eli- matie, soil, and range conditions of the Mackenzie valley and Great Bear Lake district, with the purpose of #ecertaining: what factors favor the futroduection of reindeer; what the effect of the reindeer industry would be on the country and on, the popu- lation: and whether the conditions necessary for reindeer raising are as favorable in the Northwest Terri- cries as in Alaska. The program for this summer in- cludes a thorough reconnaissance of the country between the Mackenzie delta, Liverpool bay, and Anderson river. On the openinz of navigation in the spring of 1927 the experts started to make a traverse of the chain of lakes--Husky lakes--oa the route to Liverpool bay. The trip was of fifteen days' duration and covered a distance of between three and four hundred miles. Botamiecal specimens were collected and the report which has lately been receiv- ed states that the areas so far in- spected are not inferior to those seen in Alaska. As soon as the fice had left the Arctic seaboard the party worked out from Aklavik for the purpose of making a survey of Richards island and the territory in the vicinity of Kittizazuit. The journey will be continued eastward alonz the coast and probably a camoe trip will be and hinterland will be investigated, made uv Andersom river. It is hop- ed that sometime this autumn the party will be back with data from which a preliminary map of the area covered can be made. During the winter headquarters will be made in the wicinity of Kittigazuit, from which point the work will be continued later. The investigation of the Great Bear Lake district will probably be carried out in 1928, Specials on sale at These Prices et, 15th to Sept. 21st SPECIAL : Fancy Quality LOBSTER Packed on the North Shore of Nova Scotia Under Government Approved Conditions--Quarters, 3 oz, Tin, 21c SPECIAL Golden Shred and Scotch MARMALADE ROBERTSON'S IMPORTED 16 oz. var 22¢ a SUPPLIES FOR PICKLING SEASON Pure Whole Mixed Pickling Spice, Finest Quality.
