Conadion Onion IilaterS Onion week did a l'ot to increase the popularity of Canadian onions It also brought to light some inter- esting facts about this rapidlY-grow- ing industry. Per capita consump- tion iof onions in ;Canada in 1990 was about ten pounds. In other words, this means that a total of 100,000,000 pounds -50,000 tons or some 2,000 carloads—of onions were eaten by Canadian people, This huge quantity came principally from two .sources. •Canadian groWers pro - (Weed 29,976 tons, 'and something. over 20,000 tons were imported from the 'United States. Over $75,000. was spent by Canadian en United States grown ;onions. ;Canadian production is; increasing rapidly and is of ex- ceptional quality. New Methods Urged Overhauling ef farm methods In Ontario, the application ;ef ecientific Principles of farming, the spreading of agricultural vocational training of cutting down of overhead, elim,-; illation of waste and improvement in marketing methods., are 's!,53ne of the proposals contained In the re- port of the Hon. T. L. Ketmedy; ihIln- ister of Agriculture, to .the Govern- ment, which are likely to: be em- bodied in the form Of legislation at the .session now in progress. Olte of the chief difficulties confronting the Department has been the c6nversion of farmers to the need of improving their marketing methods acid gener- ally , departing from practices in vogue before the, era of competitive prcrgress: The sinister topes to put agriculture on mi basis where it, 'will produce higher. qualityproducts at less amt. 'For' instance 'Ontario far- •mers have lost hundreds of thous- ands of dollars through parasites in hogs, 'Hogs thus affected fake, con- siderable, ; more feeding than to healthy hogs, a matter •of several months/ and the fariner's profit is considerably lessened as a result. Notwithstanding recent declines in the price of lamb and wool; Ontario Sheep Breeders were not at all dis- couraged at their annual meeting. It wE6 pointed out that this country, till imports wool and mutton equiv- alent to half a million sheep, so that there la plenty of room for expane,-: ion. • Vor Bitter Seed, During the past year Agricultural Representative F.

This 'winter he has esti up a small fehning mill, run by an electric motor, in his office and he is clean- ing these „samples as an object les- son. The results of the tests will be -published and he thus hopes to stir UP interest in better seed and event- ually to raise the average yield of spring grain in Bigili County from around thiry-five at preserit•to fifty bushels to theatre.
