To Advertise Ontario Apples
Full details will be worked out
shortly on the project to advertise
Ontario, grown apples as extensive
as those produced in British Colum
bia. It has already been suggest
ed that a levy of a few cents per
barrel of apples be made or a small
tax on each acre of apple orchard.
The funds thus obtained 'could he
used to good advantage to “push”
the sale of Ontario apples,
on well-selected feeds, gently handl
ed and give proper sanitation and
housing, kept free from worms and
live and protected against cholera
and other diseases. Quito a lot can
happen to a pig between birth and
maturity, but it is an easy animal to
keep in the straight and narrow
path leading to successful and pro
fitable development if you go the
right way about it. Pigs frequently
suffer more from the heat of the sun
during the summer than they do
from the cold of the winter period.
If possible, make use of all avail
able shade trees when making your
plans for swin pastures, feed lots or
colony house locations,

Research on Weeds
At the current session of Legis
lature Dr. G. I. -Christie, president
of the Ontario Agriculture College,
announced that a campaign is be
ing instituted to launch a new re
search program aiming at the elim
ination of those noxious weeds, the
sow thistle in particular, with which
the farmer’s crops have to battle
nowadays. Prof. J. E. HOwitt will
will be placed at the head. of. the
program.
Dairying1 the Noirih
The increased interest in dairy
farming in Ontario is nowhere more
in evidence than in Northern On
tario. In 1917 the New Liskeard
creamery was the only one operat
ing north of North Bay and had a
total output of butter of 40,00ft
pounds per year. Last year five
creameries in the district of Tcmis-
learning alone had an output of
600,000 pounds of butter and some
cheese as well. The Cochrane dis
trict creameries last year had an
output estimated at between 200,000
and 300,000 pounds.
immature seed, chaff and other
foreign matter. Such seed should
be sifted through suitable screens
to remove the chaff and put through
a tobacco seed cleaning machine to
remove the dust .and light seed. Well
cleaned seed is also- less likely to
introduce certain diseases in the
seed bed.
Apples Injured
A. Fulton, special overseas
sentative of the Ontario
Growers’ Association, in his
repre-
Fruit
-________ - -_ latest
bulletin stated that the last con
signment of Ontario apples received
in Liverpool were in a wasty condi
tion, caused by frost injury some
where in transit. This was parti
cularly unfortunate because demand
and prices had taken a jump up
ward with the result that Ontario
prices remained low and other im
ported brands have be^n drawing
good prices.
Lainb Prices
Sheep raisers are viewing with
some concern the recent decline in
lamb prices. Undoubtedly a contri
buting factor has been the heavy
imports of lamb and mutton from
other countries, chiefly New’ Zea
land anft Australia, and particularly
at a time when our home-grown
product is coming on the market. A
practice of stamping; high quality
Canadian lamb similiar to that fol
lowed in beef grading would go
some distance in securing a suitable
recognition of the home-grown
duct.
Frye Material
The Ontario Agricultural Experi
mental Union is prepared this spring
to distribute into every township
and county of the province, material
for experiments with grains, pota
toes, roots, fodder, crops and fertil
izers. The complete list of the ma
terial to be distributed will cover 38
distinct experiments and include
practically all the cultivated field
crops grown in Ontario. Only the

The Value of Straw
The talk among Q farmers
there is no straw this year and that
as a result feed is scarce, calls for
a statement that it has to be proven
that straw has any value as a feed.
It is good for bedding and this- is
all; the sooner farriiers realize that
they must

No Let-up on Corn Borer
A well attended fathering of corn
borer inspectors and agricultural re
presentatives from all parts of West

Frijifiy, March 14th, with Prof. Cae
sar, Provicial Entymologist, in
charge. It was emphasized during
the season that the Corn Borer Act
will be just as rigidly enforced dur

Bacon Exports Fall
Figures recently made public by
the British Board of Trade show
that in 1929 Canada’s bacon export
to Great Britain was but one-ninth
of the quantity sent- in 1905—25
years ago.' In fact Canada Was low
est on the list of countries shipping
this commodity to Great Britain,
Denmark having shipped nearly 25
times as, much as this country. Ne

Current, Crop Report
The crop report for the second
week in March indicates a brisk de
mand for seed in Carleton County.
Dundas .and Dufferin are both ap
prehensive regarding the unusual
weather conditions. Egg prices in
Durham are at a very low level. Al
falfa and cloyer- in Halton appear to
be favorable .at the present time in
Hastings the reverse is true. A .good
sufjply of red clover seed obtains in
Huron and will replace alfalfa in
many cases. Plowing has already
started in Lambtori .and a great in
terest in the better cleaning of seed
grain is reported. No scarcity of
hay exists in Lanark with quantities
moving at from $9 to $12 per ton.
Fall wheat and cldver are good in
Lincoln and fruit trees have winter
ed well. ‘ Milk production in Mid
dlesex Is .adequate to. meet all de
mands,. In Peel one farmer reports
150 to 200 trees so badly girdled
by rabbits that bridge grafting is
useless to save them. Fall wheat
and clover look good in Ontario, Pe-
terboro and prince Edward. Condi
tions are not as .good in South Sim
coe but feed is plentiful. In Wa
terloo fall wheat is in a precarious
condition.

i^Klopp, Zurich,
The following lines were sent to us several weeks
* ago by Mr. L. Braund, of Brantford, and they will be
read with interest by many of our readers. This week
our sympathy goes out to Mr. Braund in the loss of his
wife, who passed away on Sunday.
Oh! what a change in fifty years,
Seen much joy, some sorrow, some tears;
Many filled with hope; many filled with tears,
All struggling with the passing years.
Fifty years ago, I was light and gay,
Frollicking like the lambs in -'May;
Splashing, in river, climbing hills
Naught did I know of aches or ills.
Father was busy at the Forge,
Shoeing horses for Tom. and George;
•All men were busy, like the bee
Once in awhile, there "was a ’spree.
Whiskey was cheap in those happy days,
The grocer had it, on tap, always;
Some would drink Old Jarnaca Rum;'
When they got happy we would run. e
Down by the old Auxsable clear,
We played beside it all the year;
Summer, Winter, Fall and Spring.
Down by the river- was just the tiling.
In Winter we bobed, skated and slid,
And this in earnest you bet we did; .
Pulling great sleighs up Dorwood Hill,
Down wo would go, with sometimes a spill.
Did we give up when bruised and cut,
Or doubled and twisted, when we struck a rut;
Not on your life, we said, Bill! Be more canny,
Then up on the sleigh piled Jim and Dannie.
Tn Suring, we went fishing with lantern and spear,
There was nothing the Auxsable that we did fear;
The water was cold in the Auxsable grand,
It’s floor was covered with rocks and sand.
Once wo were fishing with lantern -and spear,
We had one fisherman, White, without fear;
For suckers we were'fishing. White was real stron
So he reached down and grabbed a lizard long.
That lizard it wiggled and twisted and bent,
When White saw what he had, you bet, it soon went;
John was real strong, could hold Very tight,
So the twisting of that lizard was surely a sight.
In .Summer, to the beach we hastened sin glee,
There was Ed., Arthur, Percy, Will Verity and me;
And for fun we kept tumbling. Pete Drew’s boat,
Turning it o’er till we got Bill’s goat.
At that old boat we did shove, push and pull,
It landed on Bill, till he was brim full;
Then up to the surfacer-he came, like a whale,
Blowing out water that would fill a pail.
There is another scene I must not forget,
Edwin, Jim Ramsay, some fish to get;
Under the mill, by the flume, they went
Then rushing boiling water came, and
sent.
In Fall, as ever to the river’s bed,
Turning o'er logs and stumps quite dead*
To catch a mole, or a deer mouse, handy,
Wo were right there with our dog cally, Bandy.
But alas' the change in fifty years,
Fathers -gone, mothers gone, We mourn with tears;
Bella McCallum, with golden hair, went on without fear
Minnie Croly, kind and loving, left a Word that cheers.
Then we start to think of’those who have gone,
Mr. and Mrs. Verity, (Mr. and Mrs. Pickard, Mr. Cottle;
Mr. and Mrs. Bissett, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, Mr. (McDonald
The Misses Lewis, Mr. Brooks, the list is long.
So we say to those who have gone before;
“Come not back again to labour*
Come,, not back to suffer,
Where the famine and the fever,
Wear the heart and waste the body;
Soon thy footsteps we will (ollow,
To the Island of the Blessed,
To the Land of the Hereafter.’’
