Canadian Crops The final crop report for Canada gives <an interesting summary of the ’ basic industry of the country.

The past five-year.aver age as set at 397 millions "while the past ten-year average was 3.49 mil lions. The bureau estimates this Barley Recommended Recent weather conditions Your Woodlot It is time and money well spent, for any owner to examine his woods and remove weed seed trees. This is the first step to take in improving the forest stand, Culls should be removed and gotten rid of, either by selling or by cutting for fire wood. It is always important to leave seed trees of the valuable spec ies, and these it will be found, will seed an area rapidly if there is no competition from advance growth of forest weeds. On most farms, woods which originally contained fine white oak, elm, poplar, walnut, maple, and ash, have deteriorated into culled forests having little or no lumber value. The value of the woods de pends upon* its growing stock, whether small or large trees the first consideration then in any cutting op eration, where openings are mdae in the forest stand, is to remove the weed trees. _____ ... ___ have The • caused concern to many farmers who have been depending on fall wheat alone for their cash crop.

H. Dean of O.A.C., furnish es figures which reveal the tremen dous value of the dairy industry. The capital invested in the cream eries and cheeseries of Canada is over 40 million dollars. These es tablishments pay out to farmers over ninety million dollars annually l’of raw material, milk and cream. The milk and cream from over two mil lions cows goes into the manufacture of cheese and butter in Canada. These cows are worth two hundred where fall wheat has failed but on a clean piece of well-prepared ground. There is a good home market now for commercial barley and it is most important that the proper kind of good seed be sown and the field be given more than ordinary attention. According to Department statistics the cash returns per acre from bar ley have been $4.00 ahead of oats. How Rees Winter Prof. Millen of O.A.C. gives this interesting story of how bees winter The honey-bee is cold-blooded and it individual bees are placed in a tem perature below 50 degrees F. they lose all power of movement and soon die. Collectively, however, in the colony, they overcome this ’disadvan tage by forming a hollow cluster with a tight wall of bees forming an excellent insulating medium.

C.: One of the things that poultrymen have learned is that direct sunlight is the cheapest kind’ of feed, Poul try do not thrive in the dark. Just as beef cow and dairy cow- are two very different typos, so the laying lien is a type distinct from tlie hen that does not produce plenty of eggs. No one understands just why the beef cow puts the food on her back and tlie dairy cow puts it into the milk pail. Nor do we know Why some hens get fat and some lay. But the difference is there and the successful dairymen and poultry raisers must get the right type of animal. All nations of the world are spend ing large sums of money on research and pdoduction. We may as well get ready for the expenditure of even larger sums for research. It is im perative to improve general living conditions of these people. Poultry^raising has became a busi ness. Nowadays we have the mam moth incubator that hatches 12,000 chicks at >a time. This is all done electrically. Heat is furnished and controlled and eggs are turned by elcteric current. Last year in On tario eight million chicks were hatched in one two-week period. The I question now is how big is the mar- ♦ ; excerpts from a by Prof Graham of in re el.

Her Excellency, Lady Willingdon, with whom she was photo graphed on the deck of the Canadian National Steamship Lady Somers at Jamaica, took quite a fancy to the little fikl.

Baron Olivier, Chairman of the West Indian Sugar Commission, which was kolditig sittings when Their Excel- leticios made their cruise of the islands, was formerly Governor of Jamaica. •On meeting Canada's Governor-Gen- crat, Baron Olivier expressed the opin ion that the Canada-West Indies trade agreement Was likely to be of great value to the islands and added, “The i h’’ ships that the Canadian National have put on arc very fine indeed and their service is much appreciated all along their route. Lord Willingdon, on his return to Canada, described the West indies as “Tlie sun room of the British Empire" and said “If Canadians knew more ■■ l ■ ■ ■ 4--------;------------------------------- about them they Would .give tip, going to Florida and Californium the winter."
