TOADS — Toads are distinguished by warty skin
and a large gland behind each eye, which produces
4 secretion repugnant to would-be predators. These
valuable insect destroyers are often found near
water. Two common species are: “A” Western Toad
{Bufo hemiophrys) identified by the broad cranial
tidge or shield on the forehead; and “B” American
Toad (Bufo americanus) recognized by very warty
skin and two distinct ridges on the head. Both
species vary from two to five inches in length, and
have extendable throat pouches: to produce trilling

J . calls during mating season.

Famous Grouse Left
Egg on Rivals’ Faces

A couple of years back, a
little-known brand of Scotch
whis! egan to make a signi-
ficant impact on the highly
competitive domestic Scottish
market,

Almost overnight, or so it
seemed, everyone was asking
for The Famous Grouse, much
to the surprise of other more
established brands,

It is no secret, in fact, that
the outstanding success of
Grouse left more than one
marketing man with egg on his
face.

Two things were signifi-
cant about the brand's success.
Firstly, selling Scotch to the
Scots has never been the
easiest of tasks. Yet Grouse is
already one of the top three
brands on the home market.

Secondly, Grouse succeed-
ed in creating’ a substantial
market for itself without the
usual ballyhoo of expensive
advertising campaigns and
massive promotional budgets
normally associated with suc-
cessful brands.

In fact, the budget for

Grouse in the 1960s was modest
and even today the amount

* spent on advertising is well

below that of many leading
blends.

It cannot be denied, how-
ever, that this low profile
approach to selling has paid off.
Consider that Grouse now sells
substantially more cases in one
month in Scotland than it did in
the whole of 1970. ,

Oakalla Doctor ‘Used
Toothpaste as Lubricant’

A physician who used
toothpaste as a vaginal lubri-
cant in examining a Freedomite
inmate at the Lower Mainland
Correctional Centre (Oakalla)
has had his contract terminated
by the provincial corrections
branch.

The firing followed com-
plaints by five Doukhobors
about six weeks ago at the
Lower Mainland Regional Cor-
rectional Centre.

Government officials said
Thursday the B.C. Medical
Association is looking into the
case.

‘here has been a com-

plaint . . . that has been
referred to the medical associa-
tion for review because it is a
medical matter,” said an official
of the attorney-general's de-
partment. “They are investi-
gating.

Corrections commissioner
Bernard Robinson said doctor's
contract with the branch has
been terminated.

Robinson said an investi-
gation found the women’s cloth-
ing had been taken from them
and the women were put in
unpleasant surroundings be-
cause they insisted on burning
everything in sight.

Earthworm Farmers
Quietly Reap Rewards

While farmers all over
America clamor for public
awareness of their financial
plight, there is a segment of the
farming population that has
remained silent.

Earthworm farmers are
quietly tending to their busi-
ness and reaping rewards from
their crops. Today, the earth-

is ing to its zenith in
productivity and uses. Thus,
more and more people are
turning to earthworms as a
source for a stable income or
part-time employment.

Requiring very little up-
keep and time, earthworms are
quickly becoming one of the
most popular agricultural
“crops” in the world. Earth:
worms are practically unlimited
in their uses; from putting
nitrogen in the soil to help
grass grow better to being used
as a gourmet food, earthworms
are becoming more versatile
than their ancestoral fishing
worms.

While earthworm farming

may not sound as elite as
tobacco or beans, the earth-
worm farmer can frequently
make more money than both
combined. All that is needed is
a-small investment and enough

in your backyard of field
for bins measuring 4 x 8 feet.

One Tennessee farmer es-
timated that 16 such bins would
return $12,000 annually. That
includes only four harvests per
year, with one pound of the
wigglers being sold to the
National Worm Growers Ex-
change for $3. Approximately
1,000 worms make up a pound.

Now don't get greedy and
go out and dig up a handful of
worms and put them ina hole in
your backyard. Chances are
you'll be very disappointe
Earthworm farming is scien'
fic. It takes a little research to
do it right.

Farming correctly is the
key to earthworm crops’ suc-
cess. It will pay to get informa-
tion from the National Worm
Grower Exchange, located in
Smyrna, Tenn.
