"The feature of 1930.In Essex Co. was the conte -back in corn," states Agriculttira1 Representative S. B. Strothers, "Essex should be in a position to take care of a good por- tion of the Canadian seed corn trade in 1931. 'This at one time was an excellent indsutry with us, and we hope to secure „this rnarket once there." Canada has• 100,000 fewer horses than it did a year ago, despite the fact that the area under cultivation has increased • ,by about .a. million acres. The tractor and the combine Its Western Canada are primarily re- aponsible. In the east, where nix- ed farming is the rale, the same in roads have not been made. In On- tario, notwithstanding the motor car there are more .horses than there were: The total for this province :is 300,000. A Beal. Opportunity. Some idea of the opportunity for Ontario farmers to develop the ex- port trade.in hog and pork products is afforded by official figures with respect to dead Wheat imports into Great Britain. For the first ten months of 1930, bacon imports had reached a total of 7,414,020 cwt., valued at £34,922,063, and of this volume Canada supplied only 87,= 109 cwt., which had a value of £433;955. During the same period imports of hams totalled 865,035 c'f 'which the United States supplied 715,352 cwt., or more than ten times the 70,968 cwt., supplied by Canada. These were the only two in a long list of dead meat imports in which the Canadian contribution was large enough to list separately. • • Rural Hydro. e.'hi :'(vs • Latest available figures show a total. of 7,100 miles of rural hydro lines in Ontario and it is proposed to add almost'2,000 more during the coming year. Reduction in rates has had a lot to do with the recent rapid growth. Nearly every county now has hydro in the rural districts. Theaverage cost for current to light the house and barn and run ordin- ary toasters, washing machines and irons, is about $5.00 per month. It runs considerably higher where a motor and a stove are operated. In addition to providing needed con- veniences, the development of rural hydro 'is expected to prove one . of .tlh biggest factors in improving farm conditions in Ontario in the future. Manitoulin Turkeys , During. the month of December ever 8,00.0„ turkeys were shipped froth 'Manitoulin Island to different parts of Canada and the United States. The average weight of these birds was about 20 pounds, which speaks highly for the quality of pro- duction there. It is worthy of note that the turkey -was introduced into the island for the purpose of cheek- ing a plague of grasshoppers, which it did effectively. The . 'farmers were not- slow, however, to see. that there was molly in turkeys and from a sideline they have become a, lead- ing industry of the island 0. A. C. Exhibits :Warm' tribute has been paid to the 0,A.C. by the International Live- stock Exposition officialfor the ex- cellent character of the College's ex- hibit at tho recent shows in Chicago. During the last four years a series of four educational exhibits have bong placed at the International by 0. A. 'C. 'The first one referred to the use of legumes in erop rotations; the second to the development and. usefulness• of the Canadian type of bacon ,hog, the third to Canadian lamb, and the fourth to Hardy Al- falfa. These exhibits have not only been of outstanding value at the big exposition,. but have also bpen a splendid medium of advertising for Ontario products. The college IS to be congratulated on its very useful work in this connection. • .xperiinentai Union Gathering Prominent agriculturists from all parts of Ontario were in attendance at a banquet given last week in con- nection with the 82nd annual meet fug of the Ontario .Agriouttlral and :xpeirinental Union at O. A. C. `Praising the wonderful work car- ried on by the Union, Hon, Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, issued a strong appeal to the young men of Ontario to stay on the farms and be proud .ef their calling4 Dr:, Archibald, .director of the Ontario Experimental Farah at Ottawa, and Mr. J, B. Fairbairn, Deputy lllinis- tor of Agriculture, also delivered ad- dress.. A strain of optimism paved - 'ed the address of Mr. D, G. Gibson, of Caledonia, president of the Union wsho in referring to prevailing un-. .satisfactory conditions in the farm- ing industry, declared that' farmers should ibe in no way discouraged as similiar conditions, have existed be- fore. "History repeats its self," he said. "The past is -a, guarantee of the future.- And Just an an era 'of prosperity followed the serious de- pression •of 35 years ago, so there will .come in the near future better tithes for the farmer as well as for others." Experimental Work At the Experimental Union gath- ering in Guelph last week, the se- cretary, Prof W. J. Squirrels, report- ed that material had been distri- buted in 1930 for a total of 48 co- operative experimental projects which covered practically all of the cultivated crops of Ontario. The work was entirely voluntary on the part of the experimenters, this con- stituting a big factor in the success achieved, President Gibson stressed the value of the co-operative experi- ments in enabling the farmer in his particular locality to decide what, variety is best for the soil. "Success- ful farming," he declared, "depends on successful crop growing. But that is only half the story. Live- stock should interlock with crop pro- duction, and Ontario farmers must include good livestock in their busi- ness in order to be prosperbus." Advice to Dairymen Canada's dairy industry will re- cover fromits slump and dairy en *ace more Will .be oil' the road to Prosperity when those connected with the industry realize that quality is the all-important factor, J. B. Grif- fon, secretary of the Ontario Milk Producers' Association, told dele- gates to the annual convention of Eastern Ontario Dairymen .at Corn- wall last week. He urged herd own- ers to keep only profitable stock, us- ing the scales and Babcock test to eliminate "boarders" from their herds. He pointed out that the Canadian farmer must cut 'his own Costs to the minimuth in order to successfully compete with 'those of nations where production costs are low. R. W.

Short Corses Prove Popular The three month course in agri- cultural and home economics which opened en Deceiivber last are proving quite popular in their respective communities. Eight such courses are being held by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture in as many different counties, namely: Bruise, I actings, Linc011i, Middlesex, Nor- folk, Waterloo, Wentworth and York An average of 38 young, inen were enrolled in' the. courses in agricul- ture and 28 young • women in home economies courses during the month of December, In addition to these, 34 one-month courses are being stag- ed in as many different counties or districts by the agricultural repre- sentatives'during the months •of Jan- ttary and February. Short courses in agriculture were first instituted in 1912'. 'Since that time 638 month's courses in agriculture have been held with . an attendance of 17,- 852. This is an average of over 03 per. year with an average attendetce of 28. The first three -months' courses in agriettlture and home ,economics were staged in .1921.2. Since then 71 such courses have been organized With a total attendance of 2748 boys and ;3080 girls.

Jarrott, of Brigden, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had become badly infected with worms. We advised him to use 2 lbs. of Royal Purple Poultry Specific in each 100. lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue throughout the Winter with 1 lb. After using it for three weeks he wrote us stating that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro- duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur- chased. 600 lbs. of .this Poultry Specific. 'We received a letter from him the latter part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry were entirely free from worms, and that .during August of this year his production was 100% larger than last year. It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mires his own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys the worms, it at the, same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling there to take from 15% to 20% more good from the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in increased egg production. Worths to poultry is often mistaken far other diseases. The, birds become very ' thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea. . Wheri badly infested they will die. • Put up in 30c. and 60c. packages, $1.75 and $6.00 tins; also 100-1b. air -tight bags --414.00. For sale, by 4,600 dealers in Canada.
