Perhaps he didn't know all the way: of Foxes and could be easily fooled, Reddy hoped so, for he was in no ecuditIlon'for a long hard run. If he couldn't; fool the Dog, itwouldbejuettocbad,un- less Mrs. Raddy came to help him. What he alone might not be able to do, he was sure the two of them a cmild do. He wandered where Mrs. Raddy was, and if she would come to help him.

It wasnt long before the Dog was uncomlfortaably near. Raddy tried one ts-ick after another to break htls t1rs.li. but the Dog knew every trick, and was never delayed for long.

"Oh deelrl" Redady, as an- other triok failed. "Oh dear! What- ever am I going to do? I can't keep running much longer. I just. can't. Yet, I must, or that Dog will catch me."

As he ran, Reddy was circling. It was a big circle. He was circling tolrrytoreachanolddenhe knew of. Suddenly he realized that the sound of that Dog was growing fainter instead of louder. He paus- ed for a moment to listen. Yes, that Dog was going in another direction, What did it mean? Roddy continued to stand there listen- ing. There was no doubt about it. that sound was going away in- stead of coming toward him. That Dog was barking Just as joyousiy and as steadily as ever. but not on Rcddy's trail.

"I wonder," said Reddy. "I wonder." But he didnt wonder too much He thougiht he knew why that Dog was no longer following him.

"THE GUARDIAN. Expansion Foreseen In Entomological Research

Following is the report of the Entomological Laboratory submitted by F. M. Cannon. Dominion En- tomologist. at the annual meetings of the Agricultural Council: held this week at Birch Court. Mr. Can- non read the paper at the recent Dominion-lFrovlnclal Agricultural Council held at Birch Court.

”In December. i952. we moved into our quarters in the new Science service building on Maine- que Road. with the excellent equipment and facilities available we are now in s. better position to expand our research program. which, of necessity. had to be curtailed since our disastrous flrc almost two years ago.

"The weather during the i952 growing season was somewhat dif- ferent from the previous year, and since insect populations depend, at least to s extent, on weath- er conditions. the entomologicai problems were also different. However, there were no serious outbreaks, in fact, the popula- tions of some of our more import- ant economic pasts were lower than usual. Tranishcd plant bugs were quite numerous, and they caused considerable damage to potatoesand some flowering plants such as dahiias. Seed corn maggots were abundant in some areas where they caused serious damage to cucumbers and beans grown commercially. Potato insects were generally abundant, and in some fields heavy infestations of aphids were noted. Root mamzots and cutworms were relatively scarce, but the imported cabbage worm caused serious damage to turnips and cabbage in some areas.

'”I'he main investigations being carried on at this laboratory are

- Turnip root maggot biology stud- ies. Turnip root maggot control stud- ies. '.l.'urnip root maggot field surveys. Potato insect control. Barley jointwcrm control. Barley jnlntwoum biology stud- lcs

Barley jointworm varietal resis- tance studies. Poa moth control on field scale Preliminary studies on seed corn maggot control in cucumlbcrsl and beans.

Turnip Root Maggots

"There are usually three species of root maggots which are associa- ted with turnips. but by far the most important one in this pro- vince is the common cabbage rant maggot (Hyemya brassicae). These three species are very similar and it is difficult to distinguish be- tween them. A good deal of time

was spent. in working on certain characters which could be used for identifying them. The main dam-I age last season was caused by tliei first generation in July when the' plants were small. During Auguski when the soil in the upper two inches became very dry, develop- ment alrnost ceased, but during September when more soil mois- ture was present, the maggots developed more rapidly and caus- ed moderate damage. At harvest time most of the early injury had outgrown, but the later attacks caused serious damage in some areas.

"There were three experiments set up on control investigations in addition to some field scale spraying with DDT ll) Aldrin as a spray applied at different times throughout the season. I2) Dil- feront concentrations of Aldrin and Lindane mixed with fertiliz- er and applied to the soil jullt pre- vious to seeding and (3) Different concentrations of Aldrin and Lin- danc applied to the tops of the drills just previous to seeding.

Field Surveys

"Extensive field surveys were carried out for the purpose of studying farm practices, types of soil and other conditions in and around turnip fields to determine the factors responsible for the great. variation in root-maggot damage. '

"0baei'va.tions made during the past season indicate that root maggot development depends mainly on the moisture content and mnisture-holding capacity of the soil. also the proximity to turnip stnrages or to fields infect- ed the previous season. The tex- ture and arganlc'matter content have a direct bearing on the mois- ture-holding capacity of the soil. In the different soil areas of this province, there appears to be a marked difference in the stages of development of root maggots.

"Turnip root maggot damage was generally much lighter last season than for several years, which was due mainly to the warm. dry season. Early planted turnips in the light soil areas last season were more severely damaged by maggots than any of the others. This may be explain- ed by the fact that adult flies e- merge much earlier in these areas

crrantorrrsrown

and muctdof the maggot damage was done during the latter part of June and early July when there was a. normal amount of moisture in the soil. In the heavy soil areas the adults do 'not emerge until three to five weeks later. and a- bout this time last season it was very dry. and they did not devel- op. From these observations if would appear that the whole prov- lace will have to be zoled I6- ccrding to the type of soil and rec- ommendations made as to time of planting for each one.

"Along with these observations. certain turnip fields in the pro- vince were sprayed with DDT to determine its effect on a field scale. All the sprayed fields were relatively free of maggot damage at the time of harvest. Whether this was a coincidence or not, it is difficult to say at the present time. It is possible that by pro- per timing of the sprays good re- sults may be obtained.

Barley J nintworm

"This insect is causing serious loss to farmers in certain areas of the province growing pure stands of barley and mixed feed. The infested areas seem to be mainly along the north side of the province from East Point to Kcmsington. Lighter infestations have been found further inland. Last year the most heavily in- fasted area was around New Lon- don, while the previous year it was worse around Milton and Winaloe. The infestation seems to? be working westward following closely along the north side.

”Detailcd studies were carried out last season on the biology and control, also a co-operative project was carried out with the Experi- mental Stntlon on varietal resis- tance to the barley Jointworm. In the biology studies another insect very similar in appearance and life history was found associated with the jointworm, and it was later found to be pmdntnry on the lar val stage of the barley jclntworm. These predators are quite numer- nus, and it is possible that they will increase to the point where they will effectively keep this insect under control. In fact. in the eastern part of the province where the jolntwnrrn was a very serious pest a. few years ago, the damage now is only slight, probab- ly due to the work of predators.

"in co-qprrailon with the Ex- porinicntal Station, 818 varieties of barley were tested for resistance to jmntworm attacks. Some of the varieties showed promise and they will be further tested next season.

Pen Moth Control

”Pr-as grown ccmrniorclally in the Montague area as an experi- ment were sprayed with parathion twice during the season. Although it rainetl while the first applica- tion was being made, good results were obtained.

Seed Corn Maggot

"some small scale experiments were conducted last year in an attempt to control the seed corn maggot on cucumbers by seed and soil trenLrnent.s'. Rather heavy ap- piicaiions of Aldrin or Lindane were made to the seed in one ear- ies and to the soil in another ser- im of tests. The Aldrin treat- ments both to the seed and to the soil gave excellent results. No only did it control the seed cor maggot, but also flea beetles, and it. stimulated the growth of the plains considerably. Lindane also gave good control of thc.seed corn maggot, but at the amounts used, many of the plants wilted and died when they were above ground about two inches. This work will be conducted on a. larg- er scale next season. and possibly beans will be included in the tests."

Would nil? Princess Open 22nd Parliament

0'I'rAlwA, (Om-Gordon Gray- don,external affairs spokesman for the Prngressivc Conservative party, said Thursdny that Princess Mar- garet. should be invited to Canada to open the zand Parllamcnt in 1954. He mid in the Commons that ”ofliciaidom" probably would look askance at his suggesllon arul that it would require a lot of undercut- ting of red tape. but ”where there's a will there's it way".

There was much to be said for having a member of the Royal Family in Canada from time to time to open Parliament,

it would be no reflection on the Governor-General since he had many other opportunities to open and close Parliament.
