At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, this year of corn averaged 19.3 tons per acre. The cost of growing nd ensil­ ing this crop amounted to $41.74 per acre, or $2.20 a ton. On the basis of 375 pounds of corn silage being equivalent in feeding value to 100 pounds of hay, at present prices of hay, silage has a value of over $3 per ton. Therefore, this drop produced a large volume of feed at a substantial profit per acre. made by the management. This is looked upon as an indication of con­ fidence among all classes of exhib­ itors from the owners of blood- horses to the poultrymen with a back yard flock. “It is especially satisfactory (to know that the possibility of a feed shortage following last summer’s drought has not materialized so far as entries are concerned," says A. P. Westervelt, the manager, “as beef and dairy cattle breeders, as well as those of sheep and. swine, promise to be represented as fully as in form­ er years, both from eastern and western provinces.” Proposes to Introduce Crop Insur* a nee Plan DROUGHTS RECURRENT Has Little Fhitli In Schemes For Moving Population Potato Marketing Scheme Boys Inter Club Competitions marketed the com- been sub­ Marketing are avail- A proposed scheme for the regul­ ation of-the marketing of potatoes produced in the, five eastern pro­ vinces of Canada, and through the channels of mercial potato trade, has mitted to the Dominion Board. Copies of the scheme able for distribution, and represen­ tations, with respect to it by those concerned, should be foirwarded to the Secretary, Dominion Marketing Board, Ottawa. As the potato mar­ ket situation is an urgent one, it is desired that any representations which are made should be forwarded promptly. Ontario Crops Win has us- will be Sth and fl A | All fl! w A.Orange Pekoe JL fla Blend Ottawa—A little reflection on his­ tory is a good thing in the opinion of Premier James G. Gardiner, Sask­ atchewan, who takes what might be called a common-sense view of the drought and financial problems now confronting this province (Mr. Gardiner .has little faith in ambitious schemes for the control of drought or of the removal of the po­ pulation from the dried out southern areas. Yet he has unbounded con­ fidence in the furtue of the province. Neither does he look with favolr on plan® to turn southern Saskatchewan from a wheat-growing to a stock- raising country. From his long experience as farm­ er and politician in Western Canada the Saskatchewan premier in an in­ terview advanced a few practical sug- .guestions ’of securing the permanent economic stability of the country which for five successive years been stricken more or less by­ drought. He. was here to seek secure financial assistance from Dominion treasury in tiding Southern Saskatchewan farmer® over the winter. This was not the first year money had to be poured into the area be­ cause of drought, he said. People were inclined to forget the misfor­ tune as well as the bounties of the past. There had been droughts be­ fore in the west and there would be long draughts again. But in be­ tween there had been years of very bountiful crops. These usually fol­ lowed the worst droughts. 'The solution of the problems was the establishment of a self-reliant farming population, encouraged to build up reserves of seed grain and fodder. Many of the best farmers far years had tine of keeping seed always on requirements. The crop insurance plan his gov­ ernment proposes to bring into effect shortly would partly take care of this. Each year a certain, amount perhaps the equivalent of one bush­ el of wheat for every acre in crops, would be collected from the farm­ ers and kept in an insurance pool. Fresh from the Gardens Teams representing sixty two Boys’ Agricultural Clubs gathered at the Ontario Agricultural College on October 19th to vie for the honor of representing the Province of On­ tario in an Inter Provincial Boys’ and Girls’ Club Competition, to be conducted at the Royal Winter Fair Each club competing was represent­ ed by two members between the ages of 16 and 20 years, inclusive.
