Situation Serious
Dr, J. F. Booth, head of the new

Dominion Department of Agi'icul-

gestions for dealing with the pres\
ent crisis. He did not try to mini
mize the. seriousness -of the econo
mic situation hut suggested that the
best thing to do was to cut the cost
of production, diversity farming

Care of Ewes
To a. large extent'the success and
profits q! sheep raising depend up
on the care given the ewes during
the lambing season. A crop of well
nourished healthy lambs means suc
cess, but a poor .crop, invariably
means a loss. Good succulent feed
with a reasonable amount .of grain
should be fed the ewes both before
and after lambing and especially
while nursing the lambs in order to
supply .an abundance of milk and
keep the youngsters coming along.

they must .submit some statement as
to the cost of production of some

the Seed Program Endorsed
Members of the agricultural ad

at their annual meeting early in
April endorsed the carrying out of
a seed grain surey as proposed by
the agricultural representative, F. S,
Thomas. -The survey is to be made
in an effort to improve the Quality
of the seed grain grown in the coun

Thomas proposes to work through
rural schools, and soni or pupils will
be asked to ‘co-operate by furnishing
samples of the oats and barley being
used as seed on their parents’ farm

Par-
Cut Cost of Production
With a gradual drop in the
of most farm produce prices in the
past few years, the cost of produc
tion again becomes a vital factor in
agricultufral operations. One very
high factor is reducing the costs of
production, the vary foundation of
all agriculture, is bettor seed. How
ever, unfortunately, when a man
uses his own seed, as the bulk of
Ontario farmers do, there is no sell
ing- and. hence no government regu
lations, and as a result very little
attention is paid to grade. Only
seed that has been cleaned up to
a certain grade and conformed

A Roinarliable Crop
In 1929 James M'cKitrick, of Or
ton in- Wellington .County harvested
511 bags of marketable potatoes off
two acres. The field in wliieh this
remarkable crop was grown was of.
a light loam. The potatoes which
av,ere of the Green Mountain variety,
were planted on,, June 10, after a
sweet clover pasture had been turn
ed under in the fall along with (abou.t
ten tons of barnyard manure per
acre. An application of 900 pounds
to the acre of 4—8—10 commercial
fertilizer was made after planting.
The crop was sprayed for late blight
every two . weeks after the^ potatoes
were up six or eight inches.
Cleanbig of Seed General
The crop bulletin for the first
week in April stresses the. general
turn of Ontario farmers toward the
cleaning of seed. Inquiries in Duf
ferin have been numerous for good
seed of standard varieties. In Dun
das the uncertainty .of the milk mar
ket situation is having a very de
pressing effect on production. The
average price received at a sale of
Holsteins in Durham was set at
$14>5. A. shortage of grain is indi
cated in Frontenac, while a heavy
demand is being made for good seed
oats and barley. Exceptionally fav
orable reports from sheep flock mas--
tors have been received from Grey,
while an increased acreage in' spring
wheat is reported in Hastings,’’Ship
ments of western horses are meeting
a Mow saj.e in Huron, while in Lamb
ton seed grain is more plentiful than
was 'expected.
