THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE
The harmful effect on consump
tive demand for lamb by the pro
duction of heavy buck' lambs cannot
he over emphazied. It prevents the
industry expanding to its normal
limits.
Courses in Horticulture
The Ontario Agricultural College
announces the following short cour
ses under auspices of the Depart
ment of Horticulture for the month
■of February:
Fruit Growing, February 3rd to
8 th; Vegetable Gardening, February
10th to 15th; ornamental Horticul
ture, February 17th to 28th. These
courses will feature a wide variety
Of subjects and the discussions will
be led by O. A, C, professors as well
as other prominent horticultural
specialists from various points in
Ontario.
O.A.C. Short Courses
The increasing interest on the
part of junior farmers in agricul
tural education is evidenced by an
enrolment of 166 in the short cour
ses at O. A. C», a decided increase
over former -years. The three
months course in dairying alone has
53 students, including two from
Denmark, one from England and
the balance from the Wartimes and
Ontario. Prof. H. II. Dean states
that th® object of this course is to
improve the uniformity and stan
dard of the dairy products of Can
ada. It covers practical work in
cheese and butter-making and train
ing in dairy bacteriology and chem
istry. Enrolment in the poultry,
live stock, apiculture and drainage
courses is also large. The total
number of young men in all classes
at O.A.C. is now close to five hun
dred.
Specialized Fanning
The modern trend to .specializa
tion on the farm is cleaTly exempli
fied in one county in Ontario,
where in addition to production of
staple crops, farm land is being de-
• voted to the growing of apples and
tobacco on a large scale, the ranch
ing of foxes and mink, breeding of
large flocks, ‘of high-class poultry
and turkeys, and even to muskrat
ranching. Many farms are devoted
exclusively to one or other of these
various specialized lines. The fi
nancial attractiveness, of this plan
i of farming has been definitely es-
L tablished. r .
I Last year’s statistics concerning
ithe live .stock industry in Canada
[showed that the only branch which
I did not show a reduction in total F numbers on Canadian farms was
F sheep. The, prairie provinces im
ported thousands of grade ewes to
stocky weedy farms, thus giving an
impetus .to-the eastern* breeders to
supply the demand .for pure-bred
stock, resulting in a healthy market
condition.
■ Value of’Cut Straw
»’ There is satisfaction in the fact
that cattle appear to relish the
straw this winter. Good oat straw
has a definite feed value besides be-
a filler. Many cattle wintered on
turnips and straw have gone out in
the spring in fairly good condition.
When straw is cut and ground up
and mixed with pulped roots, beet
pulp, silage, js even sprinkled with
molasses, the live stock seem to con
sume more of it than when fed long.
Feed Shortage General
Interesting extracts from weekly
crops reports:
Bruce—There is a decided short
age of grain, but an abundance of
hay on most farms.
Carleton—-The feed supply is ra
ther short and considerable mill-feed
is being purchased.
Dundas—Production is decreasing
due to many dry cows and prices are
weaker
Durham—Egg production is very
much decreased from a year ago.
Grey—The hard weather is tak
ing the feed down- quickly,
Halton—Egg production about 50
per cent, since November.
Huron—The supply of home-grown
grain will be sufficient to carry the
live stock through the winter on the
majority of farms. >
Lambton—Farmers report cattle
feeding well and showing improve
ment over the low-fleshed condition
they were in coming off the grass.
Lanark—Due t6 the abundance of
roughage the live stock are winter
ing nicely but are thinner than in
other years,
Leeds—production of milk is low
and we look for thin cattle all
through the winter.
Northumberland — Apple prices
have been low and markets draggy.
Nearly all cash crops , were short in
yield and the result is a scarcity of
money.
Peterhoro— Roots and ensilage
are particularly scarce.
Welland—Many old hay stacks
which have set for several years will
be utilized for feed this year. in

The Potato Market
“Ontario Potatoes for Ontario
People is a slogan that is beginning
to hear fruit city consumers are
finding out that the table quality of
Ontario potatoes is unsurpassed pro- '
vidIng the tubers “are as carefully
graded as those coming in from out
side sources. Ontario growers aru:
learning to grade their potatoes pro?
j perly, and Ontario dealers are glad
to handle them when properly grad
ed, Our dealers are now buying
freely and at good prices from the
organized potato growers of Central
Ontario, who are practising proper
grading and bulk marketing.
A recent questionaire sent out
from the 0. A* C. revealed that On
tario has been producing an average
yield of about 1’8,850,000 bushels.
The average total annual consump
tion is estimated at. about 12,292,000
bushels, or 61 million bushels less
than the annual production. It is
interesting to note that while On
tario produces approximately one-
third more potatoes than she con
sumes, the questionairo reveals that
about one-half of all the late pota
toes handled by the dealers were
grown outside the province. This in
spite of the fact that the consumei*
has to pay an average premium for
P, E. I. potatoes of 21&c. and for N.
B, potatoes of 153c, a bag. The
dealers apportion the blame for this
condition as follows: Improper grad
ing of Ontario potatoes; poor condition of the bags; mixture of var
ieties in the cars; truckers handling
uufraded potatoes; poor seed. Out
of 2210 cars of Ontario potatoes,
only 45 were of unmixed varieties.
The dealers declare the quality of
Ontario potatoes equal to the best
and would prefer to handle them if
obtainable in uniform lots. It is
well, therefore, that our growers are
beginning to realize that they must
improve their methods of producing,
handling and grading if they wish
to regain and hold the home market.
