Rainbow Trout . ~ In Pisquid Lake

. (Fllllerlea Branch, Ottawa)

Rainbow trout, indigenous to Wes-

tsyn Canada wafers and one of the Il-miest of game fishes, continue io thrive in Pisquid lake, Prince Edward Blind. where they were introduced ""9111 Years ago by the Fish Culture Division of the Fisheries Branch. Ad- ditional evidence to thiseffdct is given 11y the fact that during the spawning eel-son‘ just over, the Fish Culture Division was able to collect 27,000 or more Rainbow eggs in the lake.

An experimental introduction oi

3811150“! trwt fry into Pisquid lake was made in 1925, and a second Jot of fry were placed in the lake in the following year. Results were soon ap- parent and in 192'! and 192B anglers found fine sport. In the 192a season at the lake about 225 Rainbow were landed the fish averaging two pounds or more in weight. The 192B catch were more than twice as large as the catch in the previous summer. Re- ports from Prinra Edward Island are to the effect that the Rainbow trout is much harder to land than the na- tive speckled trout oteither the fresh wafer or sea. run strains. The angling season for Rainbow at Plsquid lake is from July 1st, to October 31st, inclu- sive. but fly fishing only Ls permitted. There is a size limit of ten inches and a bag limit of three fish.

Requests have been made to the Fisheries Branch l to have various other Maritime Province waters stock- ed with Rainbow trout and examina- tion of some of these waters will be made this sum mar to determine their sult- ability for this fish. However, it has already been established that it is only in waters that can be specially screened to prevent migration oi the fish that Rainbow trout may be placed with any possibility of suc- cessful permanent results. and a widespread distribution cannot rea- sonably be attempted. some waters which, to the layman, might seem to be suitable cannot be effectively

In n number of cases the introduction of Rainbow trout into waters in ‘the Eastern United States has been a failure because it has been found im- possible to prevent migration.

Cultivation In the Orchard

W. 8- Blair. superintendent, Domin- ion Experlmcntal Farm, Kentvllle

After the first working which is done as soon as the ground is dry enough to work, the cultivation in the orchard should be shallow. In too many cases the period between cultivatlons is too long, and it is well to endea- vour to get over the land with the cultivator or harrow every week. keeping the surface loose and light to a depth of two to two and one-half inches. This cultivation will keep the ground free of weeds, and give good moisture conditions.

not be set to cut too deeply after the first early working. The drag harrow set shallow, or the orchard wheel- cultivafor, may employed. 'I‘he rea- son for shallow cultivation is that i119 lfldiilk roots run toward the sur- face where plant food is being lib- erated. and if deep cultivation is practised these roots may be destroy- ed or injured. Toward the latter part of June and not later than early July cultivation should cease entirely, and a cover crop of common vetch or buckwheat be sown. This is seeded before the 135$ cultivation, and this operation covers the seed. It very often happens that weed growth. such as wild rad- 1-511. W111 Start up vigorously. in which case a cover crop seeding may not, be necessary. Millet may be used as a cover crop but it requires consider- able moisture, and may dry out the soil too much should the early fall rains be light. Sand vetch and clover: are not advised. as they do not make sufficient growth by fall, but. if al- ternate strips are cultivated and the others allowed to grow. a good growth to provide humus is posible the year after seeding, and this practice has been followed by some orchardists with satisfactory results.

Plant Inspection

The inspection of imported plants is assuming vast proportions. ff one desires to import nursery stock, bulbs or indeed any plant, a permit must be secured from Ottawa in the shape of a. label or tag to be attached to the package by the sender. This may look offlcious to the unadvisecl im-

porter, but it is highly necessary

inasmuch as it secures an adequate inspection by qualified inspectors. The returns from the Federal Entomological Branch show that in the year end- ing 31st March, 1927. 34,624,880 plants were ‘ ‘ ‘ either at the port of arrival or at destination, and 590 in- festations of insect pests and fungoid diseases were intercepted. This may seem a small return for such an amount of labor, but the history of all the serious losses from insects in Canada, losses which are lstimaied at $lil0.000.000 annualy, began from similiar small importations. A list is given of the insects found by the , otors, and among them are the Brown-tail moth, a. serious woodland pest; the European Earivlg, a some- what harmless insect with a penchant for dahlia and carnation buds in Great Britain, but becoming rather a nuisance in British Columbia; the European pine shoot moth. various scale insects, roofborers, mites and bulb flies. corn earworms, grain in- sects and many others. This is the right control: "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

STOCK NOTES

The Maritime Farm-er of June 4th has a bunch of notes relating to P. E Island cattle. They deal principally with Holsteins and Shorthorns. some remarkable fine animfls of these breeds having been sold by their ralsers. A number of live stock im- provement centres have been organ- izcd, and will be supplied with bulls on loan. by the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture.

The importation of good sires will undoubtedly bring the horse industry still further up the grade. Notes on these sires form very good reading for the many who desire to see this industry flourish. ~

Onion Maggots.- Their Control

The Dh-eetor of Publicity, Dominion Department of Agriculture, OTTAWA Onion maggot flies have been em- erging for the last week and will commence to lay their first eggs on the onion crop in a very few days. Control measures should be applied before this takes place. - Experiments conducted at Otlawa have shown conclusively that best control is brought about by spraying the young seedlings with an oil emul- sion spray. The oil used is a light lubricating oil which can be obtained from any of the oil companies of this city and should have the following specifications; specific gravity .a'i-.l8 at i0 digress eenflmfie. a viscosity ‘of so-soo. seconds at loo deems rar- inhelt and a volatility of not over f per cent. These firm-es, although per- naps confusing lo you. will be readily understood by the oil eealpaaial.

Farming and Agriculture :-: Special Features :-:l Intere

To prepare the spray, mix a gal- lon of Bordeaux mixture by first dis- solving 2 ounces of bluestone in a gal- lon of water, and then adding 2 oun- ces of hydrated lime to the solution. This should be thoroughly stirred and poured into a pail containing a gallon of lhe oil. By means of a bucket ‘pump or other small sprayer pump

the liquid back upon itself until a perfect emulsion of the oil and Bor- deaux is secured. This should take about 3-5 minutes and can be tested by pouring a small quantity into wat- er. If the emulsion mixes perfectly with the ‘grater and leaves no oil droplets cn the surface it is ready to 'use but should free oil be present further agitation will be necessary. when the oil is thoroughly emulsified mix the two gallons with 88 Elm)" o! water and your spray solution is ready.

The onions should be sprayed four times, the first spray being applied immediately upon recipe of this let- ter, and subsequent sprays at inter- vals of one week. In spraying, the whole surface of the ground should be covered as well as the tiny plants. Thorough work is essential t0 80°11 control and 75-100 gallons of spray should be used per acre at each BP- _plicatlon. Put on the first spray now icover lhe plants and ground thor- loughly; use plenty of material.

This control has given excellent re-

sults in heavily infested fields of the Ottawa district and will increase your yields one to two hundred per cent. If further infromatlon is desired apply 1o the Publication Branch. Department of Agriculture Ottawa, or to lirntomologist in Charge of Veg- etable Insect investigations. Depart- ment of Agriculture, ‘Ottawa.
