Gear, Agricultural Representative, Bruce County) .. Nineteen hundred and, forty- three' will be remembered in Bruce. County as a poor. crop year. It was- disappointing :corn-. pared to'. the record year of 1942', to.. say nothing . of th'e`?plans •• for. war production that did not •mat- erialize.. Bruce County farmers, 'however harvested a heavy crop 'of:top quality roughage, and en;" silage corn Was.. • a good crop: Livestock-. products did not suf- fer. as' much , as "expected.'.Cream production for the..county .;n - creased by'.almost .30,000 ' lbs.. keeping Bruce • County in.first place in this, line of production., In addition, Bruce County's two. cheese factories produced almost '550,000 lbs.,' of cheese. Beef 'cattle production.' showed ..an 'increase, and sheep production ' .was • in- creased.. The production of hogs did not •.drop ',as sharply as the Pont.' crop 'would indicate. There was alarming liquidation of sows' 'which. , show a decrease m hog'; production• in 1944. Bruce • Coun- -ty imported. more. grain. than- in any previous year. The Ontario Government • paid subsidies on over over 11,0.00. tons of grain bought by 'knee .County farmers.'; • • The labor situation in the county became ,increasingly, ser- ious in 1943; A heavy grain har- vest would ' have created ,an. al- arming •situation: Young men have , been • continually' enlisting in the armed forces.,a'he corktin- ual .calls for men for the west- ern harvest,packing plants and bush work have all but elimina- ted hired help. This is •a. serious situation in a livestock..producing county —rehear -e.- ,the_help.._-require-:d'. in the winter is almost as great. as in' the summer .months. • • Ther -.e is an increasing interest\ in hay and pasture management. Many, . farmers have been, sowing fertilizer .on their meadows and there is more interest in . better seed mixtures....The seeding was .very late. Only on the earlier farms was grain -seeded suffici- cantly• early to get a .satisfying yield. 'The late sown grain was oadly affected by rust. Some of the rust resistent varieties show• ed up .well. Fall wheat .on top of a reduced • acreage, suffered Severely. from rust damage and gave a poor yield. Turnip pro-. duction, Bruce County's most im- portant cash crop, showed a con- siderable increase and a \good yield of top quality shipping tur- nips. It is generally confined to the south east part of the county. There will probably be 1000 cars shipped from the 1943 .crop..' A. very. •successful experiment cov- ering some 75 acres of turnips which consisted. of spraying the turnip field with a borax sobs tion,` was carried out. The re- sults were very gratifying, giv- ing almost 100 per cent control. A great deal df interest is being shown in ' the, growing of cern for husking Purposes. For the past three years 75 : bushels per acre of corn have been obtained. The variety sh w ng mostprom- inence has heen Canada or Wis- consin, 355. . As has already been mentioned livestock production has been well maintained. No doubt the poor crop year will have more influence on 1944 production, The .increasing cream production was ,made ,possible by milking more cows which, also produced more calves. This has made po4- sible the increasp of beef cattle even though the number of pur- chasers of feeder cattle 'into the oounty" has been' on the decrease The, labor shortage has given.

This has been offset• by the \reduction of sheep in the . peninsula. , Ravages of flocks of wolves has largely forc- ed the peninsula farmers out'of. the sheep industry. ' The continually • expanding poultry industry' 'showed a fur- ther increase in 1943. More far- mers are building equipment for the purchase of early chicks. There is a •continuing interest in building laying pens and farmers are beginning to -fully realize -the importance of the poultry indus- try ing their ^farm income. How- ever, the turkey ' production of tide Bruce peninsula has seemed to, be very important in • produc- ing Christmas dinners fora larg•: part of the province: The • farmers -are looking • to 194.1 with much .the 'same prob- lems as a year ago.
