Popular
The
more
popular
type
vacai
tlon
plan
In
use
in
both
Canada
and
the
United
States
is
"graduated."
Here
the
length
of
vacation
Is
determined
by
length
of
service.
In
Canada,
the
average
graduated
plan
requires
the
wags
earner
to
have
one
years'
service
with
the
employer
before
he
is
eligible
for
a
paid
vacation
of
one
week.
One-third
of
the
Canadian
employers
consulted
require
the
wage-earner
to
complete
five
years
of
service
ibefore
an
additional
week
of
vacation
with
pay
is
granted.
Where
the
graduated
plan
Is
In

Canadian
salaried
workers
are
eenerally
granted
one

vacation
with

after
six
months
and
two
weeks
oft
with

after

Fourteen
of
the
51
Canadian
rmoloyers
surveyed
grant

while
practically
all

Of
companies
granting

to
wage
earners,
the
majority

are:

do

SYDNEY,
Australia,
r
An
insect
and
a
plant
are
waging
war
In
the
states
of.Ne
South
Wales
and
Queensland
with
thousands
of
acres
of
good
agricultural
land
as
the
stakes.
The
insect
is
the
cactoblastis
and
the
plant
the
prickly
pear,
which
was
introduced
into
Australia
in
1788
and
since
then
has
overrun
nearly
50,000,000
acres
of
land,
destroying
it
for
crop
growing
purposes.
"The
area
infested
is
more
.than
t
wice
the
size
of
the
island
state
of
Tasmania,
and
more
than
twice
the
area
now
-under
crop
in
Australia.
The
prickly
pear
is
a
type
of
cactus
brought
here
.from
the
Unlted-States.
It
has
small,
(brittle
branches
which
break
off,
attach
themselves
to
the
fur
of
foxes
and
rabbits
and
the
wool
of
sheep,
and
are
widely
spread.
The
segments
root
wherever
they
are
deposited.
The
prickly
pear
is
of
no
value
commercially.
Experiments
to
extract
alcohol
and
other
commercial
substances
from
it
In
payable
quantities
have
not
proved
successful.
Prickly
pear
commissions
were
set
up
both
In
New
South
Wales
and
Queensland
to
combat
the
menace
and
in
1925
they
brought
the
cactoblastis,
a
midget
red-striped
maggot,
from
the
United
States
to
join
the
battle.
Nearly
3,000
of
the
maggots
were
imported,
and
they
proved
a
deadly
enemy
to
the
prickly
pear,
eating
up
most
varieties
as
quickly
ns
they
could
be
bred,
and
destroying
the
pear
more
quickly
than
could
be
done
by
the
usual
plowing
or
digging
methods.
The
cactoblastis
is
now
numbered
in
millions

nurseries
maintained
in
