Albright Bovine tuberculosis is a com- municable disease attacking cattle, swine and human beings. The thrift of cattle is affected, gains and milk flow being reduced, while in ad- vance cases emaciation and death en- sue, The germs of tuberculosis in cattle are for the most part voided in the excreta. Healthy cattle receive them in tainted feed or water, and sometimes in other ways. Authori- ties agree that the disease may be spread by inhalation, but this is not considered common, 'If the udder ot a cow fected the germs may found in her milk. logs receiving unpasteurized milk from. tuberculous cows may be in- fected by germs voided with the milk or introduced into it through manu- rial particles and in other ways. Hogs following tuberculous cattle are in- fected in fairly large numbers. The number of tuberculous hogs reach- ing Canadian slaughter-houses is proportionately nearly six times as Sreat as the number of tuberculous cattle. Children, like calves or swine, may contract tuberculosis by drinking raw milk infected with the germs of bovine tuberculosis. Pure raw milk is by most people conceded to be better than pasteur- ized milk, but raw milk is unsafe if either tuberculosis or Bang s disease lurks in our-herds and may, of course, carry the germs of other diseases as The Restricted Area Plan For the eradication of bovine tuber- culosis the Health of Animals Divi- ion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, has three poli- cies in force: (a) the Accredited Herd Plan for individual purebred herds; (b) the Supervised Herd Plan, a single herd policy applicable to grade herds whether including purebreds or not, and (c) the Restricted Area Plan, jdesigned to eradicate the disease jfrom all the herds in prescribed areas. It depends upon concerted action. According to a little booklet, Bovine Tuberculosis, free upon ap- tion to the Health of Animals the number of cattle in Canada under the Restricted Area Plan as at March 31 of each year, had risen steadily from 16,435 head in 1024 to 2,218,876 in 1938. The whole province of Prince Edward Island was such an area, and all of Nova Scotia, excluding Cape Breton; while there were 15 restricted areas in New Brunswick, 38 in Quebec, 25 in Ontario, 30 in Manitoba, 7 in Sas- katchewan, and 1 in British Colum- bia. In addition there were 27 areas accepted but not yet tested. There were then no restricted areas in Alberta.

Ask for ALBERTA MADE stricted area is to have at least tw thirds of the cattle owners of definitely defined district sign a petition agreeing: 1, To permit and assist in the testing of all cattle in the said area with tuberculin by officers of the Dominion Health of Animals Division at any time the authorities consider suitable. To slaughter forwith all react- ing cattle under official supervision, for which reactors-partial compens: tion Is to be paid in compliance with the regulations. The reactors are ordinarily shipped out and destroyed. Carcasses in which the disease is found to be generalized are con- demned outright. Those in which the disease is slight and localized may be passed for food purposes but dis eased portions must be condemned. The limit of compensation is 40 per head for grade cattle and 100 per head for registered stock.) 3. To slaughter without compensa- tion reacting grade bulls and any regeting lumpy-jawed cattle. 4. Promptly to cleanse and dis- infect the premises and to remove accumulated manure immediately. Any reactors (i.e, tuberculosis in- dividuals), are shipped for slaughter. When such a signed petition is for warded to the Provincial Minister of Agriculture, he, if it meetsawvith his approval, requests the Dominion of Agriculture to set up a restricted larea within the boundaries outlined jin the petition. In doing so the Pro- vincial. Government becomes obli- gated to assist the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture in the enforce- ment of the regulations and to pro- vide the officers of the Dominion Health + of Animals Division with suitable transportation from farm to jfarm. Upon. approval of the Dom- inion Minister of Agriculture the proposed area may then be proclaimed a restricted area and subjected to quarantine so far as tuberculosis is concerned. In 1922 the area plan was adopted in United States, where it has met with great favor. Great Britain, has undertaken a progressive campaign for the eradication of tuberculosi Waterhole Took Initiative in the Peace Looking to the -Restricted Area Plan, Mrs. D. M. Kennedy of Fair- view worked for some years to the end of having a restricted T.B.-free area established in the Municipality of Fairview, or. taking in a wider area if possible. As some of my readers may recall, the Waterhole U.F.W.A. took up the matter and finally delegated the organizing re- sponsibility to Mrs. Otto Bernstein of Bluesky. A successful canvass was made for signatures but the Provin- cial Department of Agriculture could not at that time see its way clear to request the assistance of the Federal Government for the establishment of a restricted area in one limited sec- tion of the province. Since then. however, district agriculturists have given every encouragement to the Preparation of petitions for the establishment of restricted areas. Two large municipalities adjoining Edmonton, viz. Strathcona and Clover Bar, have completed the sign-up andthe petitions have been forwarded to Ottawa. On April 26, 1939, Mr. J. R. Sweeney, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Alberta, wrote that the Department was about to forward petitions covering almost the whole of the drought area north fof the Red Deer River. Can the Peace Unite on the Restricted Area Plan? Some time ago at a meeting in Beaver Lodge following an address by H. W. Scott, District Agriculturist at Camrose, Alberta, who discussed the Restricted Area Plan among other subjects, a committee was ap- pointed to go into the matter of forming a T.B.-free area in the western portion of the Grande Prairie district. In view of the experience of the Fairview district, it was sug- gested that it might meet the Pro- vincial Department's view if an endeavor were made to form the whole Peace River District o Alberta into one big T.B.-free area. If similar action could be taken on the British Columbia side, so much the better; but according to the Act the British Columbia Block would have to pro- ceed as a separate unit. Simultane- ous action on both sides the Provin- cial Boundary would be a very fine thing indeed. The letter from the Alberta Deputy Minister of Agriculture as above the Minister, Hon. D. B. Mullen, that the Fairview and Beaverlodge action is quite in line with the Provincial Department's policy and implies ready cooperation in organization. If, he says, as a result of our combined efforts, the farmers of the Peace River country or any part of it make application to come under the Restricted Area Plan the peti- tions will receive the endorsation of this Department and will be for- warded to Ottawa with a request for assistance in establishing such re- stricted area. The Beaverlodge committee is pro- ceeding by press and radio with an appeal for concerted action, It is hoped the response will be prompt and widespread. Judging from the findings of Dr. A. Knight, Provincial Veterinarian of British Columbia, who has tested a good many individual herds of cattle in the British Columbia Peace River Block, bovine tuberculosis is not yet very prevalent in the Peace. Now then, before it gains headway, is the time to stamp it out at small expense and make this region famous for Make the Taste Test Today quoted gives assurance on behalf of The first step in establishing a re- healthy stock as well as THE NORTHERN TRIBUNE for prize- winning grain. Many Tuberculous Hogs A letter from Dr. A. E. Cameron, Veterinary Director General, Ottawa, advises that the most recent survey for a seven months period indicates that from all Canada the percentages of infection are: Cattle, 3.01 cent; calves, 0.14 per cent; 17.20 per cent. For the ments under inspection in the prov- ince of Alberta the percentages of 1.09 per cent per cent: hogs, 27.17 per cent surprising to find that Te Alberta has a low percentage infestation of attle, the swine in- festation runs so high. Since hogs are a very. important source of revenue to Alberta farmers, and since the control of tuberculosis in swine depends very Targely upon the con- trol of tuberculosis in cattle, we have here an additional-strong reason for action, STOP WANTON RUIN OF WILD FLOWERS Canada s diminishing succession of lovely wild flowers from Spring to Fall has now reached the point that their ultimate dis- appearance can be avoided only by the care and consideration of the people. Throughout the years the greatest destruction of wild flowers has been the clear- ing of the forests and Jand for farms and habitations, assisted by forest fires and the grazing of animals. Still later, the want of thought on the part of persons, particularly in the vicinity of the larger centres of population, has hastened the possibility of wild flowers sharing the fate of the buffalo, the musik ox, the great auk, the carrier pigeon and other wild life, for already some of the finest specimens in the woods have disappeared. Hence, the appeal of horticultural socie- ties throughout Canada for the preservation of wild flowers The preservation of wild flowers does not mean that no one is allowed to pick a bloom, but it does demand a little thought from the picker. For example, some wild flowers should not be picked at all. Plants like the white trillium, the floral emblem of Ontario, are best left alone in all the glory of their original setting. because these flowers cannot be picked thout removing all the foliage on which depends the. maturing of the bulbous root for the fol- lowing season's crop of flowers. Other species of wild flowers, such as violets, jhepaticas and the like whose flower stems rise rectly from the roots, may be picked at will, provided the body of the plant is left undisturbed. Tearing up a plant by the roots to gain a bloom is wanton de- struction and means only one thing the passing of beautiful flowers from the Canadian land- scape. It is against this reciless plusking of wild flowers that the horticultural societies make their THE WONDERLAND OF BOTANY The Miracle of Spring I saw God in His glory passing near me, and bowed my head in worship. Linnaeus, on the unfold- ing of a blossom. A great wave has washed over the world, drowning it in a sea of color and song. Over all hangs a haze of beauty; of new life and the wonder of coming days. So great is the glory of Spring There is a rapid, miraculous lengthening of daylight; silvery show- ers and bursts of mild sunshine: a dance of daffodils tossing their down- cast heads, and prim tulips catching the showers in their glowing cups. All living things seem,moved by a restless urgency to express the essence of all the beauty that is in them; a wealth of scent and color; a wonder and a glory. The woodland, brimful of vernal loveliness, is stirring in a green dream of resurgent life and throbbing with Spring delight. The green of the trees is as brilliant as illuminated new paint; while between the leaves the sky shows soft, delicate and tender. The spring-decked larches are ofa delicacy of shade which Nature's palette alone can mix. When glittering in their first rapture of young green, light dwells in them as in its proper home, as it does in the beech leaves which burn in a daz- zling green flame. gt; Everywhere the secret of the sea- son is told in the uneurling of the leaves and the color of the first flowers. Life seems to embrace the sweet, clean earth as it pulses under- foot and throbs into the heart of every tree. Swaying, whispering masses of flowers. shy and ravishing, exquisite and fragrant, clothe the meadows; out of which the air seems to drag the last essence of sweetness. Only a little while ago the apple trees looked like old, almost dead things; just gnarled black wood drenched by winter storms and twisted into ugly, fantastic shapes. When lo Spring with one quick wave of her magic wand transforms them into foaming masses of delicately pink and exquisitely scented loveti ness; so fugitive and therefore so precious that cach tree seems like a morsel of paradise dropped from the cook blue of heaven. As all the world is purring with peace and joy:sthe singing of birds the opening of flowers and the hum- ming of bees; let us in the spirit of William Hamilton Gibson, once again, start in quest of our old but ever new and trusty-triend: L t us content ourselves no longer with being mere botanists historians of structural facts. The flowers are not merely comely or curious vege- table creations, with colors, odors, petals, stamens and innumerable technical attributes. The wonted insight alike of scientist, philosopher, theologian, and dreamer is now repu- diated in the new revelation. Beauty is not its own excuse for being, nor was fragrance ever wasted on the desert air. The seer has at last heard and interpreted the voice in the wilderness. The flower is no longer a simple, passive victim in the busy bee's sweet pillage, but rather a conscious being, with hopes, aspira- tions and companionships. The in- sect is its counterpart. Its fragrance is but a perfumed whisper of wel- come, its color is as the wooing blush and rosy lip, its portals are decked for his coming, and its sweet hospi- talities humored to his tarrying; and as it speeds its parting affinity, rests content that its life s consummation has been fulfilled. E. W. Hart, Division'of Botany and Plant Pathol- ogy, Science Service, Dominion De- Cutworm Menace Causing Farmers Grave Concern Pest Is Difficult To Contro But Rainy Weather May Help En tomological Laboratory Has Been Asked To Send Expert, AVER LODGE, May 18. Ad- vices reaching the Experimental Substation give cause for grave cot cern over the cutworm menace. Monday evening, E. C. Stace sistant, superintendent, found field of Legacy oats on tiller- combined stubble that was already about ten per cent eaten off. The next evening Alvin Ringstrom of Halcourt reported that cutworms had cleaned off about two-thirds of a 4W-acre field of Red Bobs wheat sown April 18 and 19 and that neigh- boring fields were also affected. Since then r ports have multiplied, while on the Substation itself. grain plots were molested May 17, follo rter-inch rain the previous evening, the depredations may be expected to increase greatly through further hatching and growth of those already hatched, the outlook is black indeed unless the pest can be checked. Even if the crop now eaten off should renew its growth, what is to prevent the worms eating it again? One of the most baffling features is that the red-backed cutworm, which is the most prevalent species in the North, has exhibited a pronounced tendency to hatch over a protracted period, when he is through with the last of the brood. In 1938 a Hythe gardener reported partly grown cutworms abundant in her garden the first week of July. Rainy weather is the best hope, both of refreshing the crop and of checking the work of the worms, while possibly introducing moulds and other plagues which will lead to their destruction. The Substation is in touch with the Entomological Laboratory at Leth- bridge and has urged that if at all possible an expert be sent in to study the problem on the ground. Poisoning is the remedy usually prescribed but, possibly due to the peculiar climatic conditions, it does not seem to be so effective here as elsewhere. On a field scale, with crop values as they are at present, it would be out of the question anyway, unless on very small patches from which an infestation is spreading. Gardeners are still advised to try poisoning and to protect their trans- plants of cabbages, tomatoes, etc., at time of planting out with paper collars wrapped. around the plants or with bottomless tin cans. In either case the collar or tin should extend three inches below the ground sug- face and a couple of inches above It. Farmers are advised not to re-sow their devastated fields until the worms have reached practically full size and are ready to pupate. HONEY STIMULATES ROOTS Ordinary honey may be used with good effect in floriculture in the stimulation of roots of cuttings. Pre- liminary experiments by the Division of Horticulture, Dominion Experi- mental Farms, proved the utility of honey in this respect, and a thorough test. which was concluded in March established the fact that a 25 per cent solution of honey had a definitely stimulating effect on roots of both cedar and chrysanthemum cuttings and compared very favorably with any of the hormone chemicais used for that purpose. PRAISE CANADIAN TURKEYS Canadian turkeys stand high in the estimation of the British trade. In a recent issue The Fish Trades Gazette, a leading British poultry trade journal, reflects this opinion in the following extract: The best demand has been for the Canadian birds, which, although dearer than the Con- tinental, are a far better turkey; they are graded so well. Not only does a buyer get the correct weight but the birds are all young. In China one phase of the Chinese government experimental and dem- onstration farms is teaching farmers the latest methods of raising sill worms, with emphasis on the necess- ity of buying only disease-free silk worm eggs. partment of Agriculture, so that one hardly knows DR.
