News and Information
- for The Busy Farmer
(Furnished by t110 Ontario Depau'tirent of Ag't'iculture)
.A. calf was conveyed to the Royal
Winter Fah' by aeroplane. That's
the nearest approach to the• cow
jumping .over the moon that we have
noticed, remarks one editor,
Several of Ontario's foremost ag-
riculturtil experts served as judges
at the recent International Live
Stock Expdsition • in Chicago. They
included: John •Miller•' of Ashburn
(Shorthorn cattle class) ; 13, Noel
Gibson, of Kokoina. (Shropshire
sheep); Duncan' Johnson, of Appin
(Oxford sheep) ; and W. T. G. Wein-
er, Ottawa, (small grains.) Ontar-
io Agricultural College, as usual,
sent a live stock judging team to
compete 'against the pick of the
United States.
Growing Nut 'Trees
A new deVeloprent in the work
of beautifying the countryside of
Ontario is seen in the org'anizaition
of an association in Elgin County
with a view .of stirnuating the plant-
ing of nut trees. This association
hopes to secure the co-ope'r'ation of
the Elgin County Council in plant-
ing rows of nut trees on both sides
of No, 3 Highway from border to
border of the county. In addition,
the annual yield of these trees and
their timber value merit considera-
tion.
Hydro for •tie Farm
Electrification. of Ontario farms
will .be stimulated during 1930 by
the program of expansion recently
announced which will xesult in the
building of 2000 miles 'of hydro
lines in the rural 'districts, as com-
pared with' 1,100 during the past
year. It is 'also expected that sev-
eral charges will be' reduced and
loans macre available for iustaila-.
tion of electrical equipment on the
farm.. The. mileage added during
1929 will servo 6700 new customers
and bring the total to- 5,000 utiles
already in operation.
• Winter Conditions
LIve Stock and feed form the chief'
topic of the current weekly reports
from agricultural representatives.
This statement from one of the re-
ports appears to be typical of con-
ditions throughout the province:
"Live Stock .have gone into winter
quarters in poorer condition than
usual. There will he over a third
less feeders stabled this winter than
is usually the csise." The• advent
of severe weather and snowstorms
brought fall work on 'the land to a,
halt. • However, under favorable •
conditions most earners had prac-
tically finished 'their fall plowing.
Corn Borer Situation
The corn borer' 'infestation in Onn.,,,,„
tart() in 1929 has been,•reducect.. i
the. infested counties 1iy an, average
of '50' per cent. over•;the figures' of
19h8;•'aecording to'.a 'recent oWOO.,
statement by Prot. 'L. Caesar of 0.
A.O.'• Reductions as•high•ars 75.per
cent. are shown . in Some,
while for the first tine in throe
years no reports of total destruc-
tion, or even serious injury, have
been received, and no new districts -
report; the pest. Nevertheless Prof.
Caesar, pointed out that the actual
number of insects would hardly vary'
from the• lase year's estimates be-
cause ,of'tlte spread over a much
greater. acreage.
