Winter killing, al­ though severe in some districts, seems to have been about average for the province.

More damage than us­ ual, however, was occasioned by the presence of barren spikefets in the heads of winter wheat.

In short, we want to establish a great­ er measure of co-operation between consumer and producer.” In com­ menting upon the projected cam­ paign, one in which the large On­ tario distributors of food will be .asked to join, Mr. J. B. Fairbairn, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, said that most Canadians would be astonished at the amount of food­ stuffs imported at ‘the very time of year when Canadians are producing similar products. An extra slice of bread a day would help to' take care of surplus Canadian wheat, he stated, and unemployment would be relieved considerably by vigor­ ous. prosecution of the campaign in mind. i, lecture newspapers will all fig­ program. “We are de­ said the Prime (Minister, to- the people the real products, to our Changes in Representatives ■Several changes have recently been made in the agricultural re­ presentatives of Ontario.

Harvesting throughout the province has been completed and excellent yields are reported. Al-; 1‘alfa, alsike and clovers yielded very satisfactorily, as high as nine bushels per acre of red1 clover- having been reported in Kenora district. Many drovers and cattlemen have reported heavy losses on theiix grass cattle, due to low pr-ices and scarcity of pasture. Many are holding their cattle over for’thd1 Christmas trade. Some excellent crops, of barley, oats and mixed grains have been harvest­ ed this season. In .Norfolk County, one farmer secured a yield of 14S7 bushels of oats from a 15-acre field, oi- nearly 100 bushels per acre. Valuable O.A.C. Exhibit Taking as its. keynote the crop­ producing power of Ontario- soils, the O.A.C. Department of Chemis­ try exhibit at the C. N. E. has at­ tracted. great attention. It embod­ ies a huge cornucopia picturing the fertile soils of Ontario pouring forth hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat, 'oats and barley, and thousands of tons of potatoes, roots, corn vegetables, hay and other products. A giant map of tthe province -shows the location of 'the ’1,100' fertility test jfets whidi the department is operating throughout Ontario. This year, with nearly every- crop- grown in Ontario on tfi'ese plots, a wide var­ iety of fertiliers have been applied on the farmers’ own lands under tlieir own conditions. Field repre­ sentatives ensure accurate applica­ tion of fertilizers and equally accur- rate harvesting of test areas. The records shows interesting and valu­ able figures. Meadows fertilized with a high nitrogen fertilizer gave an increase of 45 per cent, in yield, while alfalfa fertilized with high potash- fertilizers gave an increase of 2% tons per acre oVe’r the un­ fertilized area. Tn the fall wheat' fertility tests, the average yield of all fertilized plots was 44 bushels per acre, weighing 60.4 pounds per bushel.* The yield of unfertilized wheat was 3 4 bushels, weighing 59.8 pounds per bushel. The functions of the main plant- fioiod' elements; were ad»miiir-ably shown by crops growing in plant solutions, and the pasture fertility work in operation in connection with the college farm claimed con- sdierable interest. Soil testing for acidity and generaly discussi-on of soil survey work provided much valu­ able information for callers. i (Crowded out last week)- The harvest in this community nearly completed and reports go Show the wheat an/1 other „ are of a very excellent quality.
