Reggies Ramblings on Postage Costs and Global Talks
The column notes rising postage costs forcing the Canadian Medical Journal to cut issues by half while the other half opts out. It cites China ready to discuss diplomatic recognition with Canada and mocks with a line about no ticket no shirt. It comments on springtime crowds in Memorial Park and a Harvard student protest in a televised scene. It contrasts Ghana ending a three-year political ban with Canadians seeking similar openness.

Ergot Control and Its Impact on Crops
Ergot, a poisonous fungus attacking cereals, is more harmful to rye than oats. Last year’s higher level suggests soil and seed may be more infected this year. Spores from spring time stalks infect heads, replacing seed with purplish ergot bodies. Control methods include ergot free seed, crop rotation with flax and mustard, and burying ergot bodies deeper than two inches.
