Weekly Crep Rtpnort
Some districts of Ontario have re-
received benefits from the recent
thaws as far, as 'the water supply
goes but this does not apply to East-
ern Ontario .where heavy surfeits
have occurred.
Dufferii, reports a recent horse
show with •only fair prices obtaining
$150, being the top for a geed draft-
er. The former situation hi Essex
is reversed with litany inquiries tom -
hie in for farms ,to rent, while form-
,erly many were idle. Some farmers
:plan' to plant between 50 and 100
'acres of corn this year. A keen de-
mand for seed -cleaning service is
noted in Hastings county. In Leeds
a heavy increase in alfalfit acreage
tor this year is forecasted. Rumors
that canneries' in Lennox and Add-
iug(�on would not operate this year
were stopped by the factories send-
ing >o'ut contracts to their patrons
last eek. As a result the farmers
are inquiring .for additional help.
Over 100 new cows were entered this -
month in the cow testing work in
Peel county, reeking a. total et nearly
9.00. Six carloads of seed oats were
shipped. last weok , from Renfrew
county.
The alarming increase in the num.-
bei of fires in Western Ontario dur-
ing the threshing. season ,of 1930
caused considerable ' disqussian at a
recent conference of threshermlen,
The consensus of opinion was that
if smoking about the threshing ma-
chines and barns were stopped, there
would not be need for much legisla-
tion regarding the matter. It was
recommended that a chain;,or wire
from the separator to the ground 'to
carry off the static electricity would
be a measure .of protection.

Following a conference •cif the Leg-
islative Agricniltural Committee with
(Niagara and Essd grape -growers,
announcement has'.been made by the
Hon. Thomas .L, Itenedy that las an
aid to the grape -growing industry,
his Department will take , immediate
steps to "go after and get" satisfac-
tory markets for Ontario grapes in
Eastern and Western Canada. It is
the plan to 'have representatives lo-
cated at strategic points, who would
mainaln close contact with the grape
growers here hi shatters of prices,
sales, sitipnients, etc. The growers
felt that they could s411 four trines
more -grapes in Ontario than at'pres-
ent, by Means of newspaper- and In-
dio advertising and general co-opera-
tion by the Department.

Collective Fertilizer Buying .
In connection with thoirecommend
atien of collective purchase of , ter-.
tilizers as oontaieed in the So•inei'set'
report, steps 'hive already been taken
by this Department toavards this etid.
Mr, George Patterson who has bad
considerable experience `with one of
t114 fertilizer companies, has been
appoiiitod to go into this work. Ac-
co•rding to an estimate by Mr. J. A,
Carroll of the Crops and Markets
Branch, at least 215, per cent can be
saved by farmers in the purchase, of
fertilizer where they caii get to-
gether, buy by the carload and pay
cash. Arr. Patterson's duties will.
consist in. arranging with g1•okwers
for this service.
How They Do It , '
The fallowing observations were
made regarding the prize -winners in
a recent Milk -per -acre •comlpteitioii
conducted by western Ontario Dairy-
men:
They all market the milk at the
factory the year around, all raise
and -feed a large number of hogs to
utilize the whey; all, have, fine ,flocks
of poultry; all Icor farms are heavily
stocked, ,but the land produces .111
the hay, straw and silage used; all
i'our dairymen grain the cows the
year around and plan on silage for
summer feeding as well ,as -winter;
all have water before, the cows; all
top dress their nieado ws; all use a1,
falfa, red clover, alsik'e and timothy
when seeding clown; three out of
tour• have Purchased herds; two out
of four have' pure --bred herds; two
Out of four use milking machines;
and the result bear testimony to the
fact thet.all are good farmers.
Heavy Losses Recorded
In his campaign to find sone wary
in which losses to sheep breeders
through the activities of dogs might
be curtailed, the Honourable T. L.
Eennedy, Minister •of Agriculture,
has unearthed some interesting facts
regarding the money paid to fariners
by municipalities last year as a, di-
rect result of sheep -killing. With
the report 75 per cent. complete, it
was shown that Ontario municipali-
ties have paid $110,000 to farm 'rs
who have lost sheep. Sinicoe co} iity
led with an -expenditure of $6,902
and Kent was seemed with $4,435,
O:tlior counties heard ufroni areas fel-
Bruce, $8408; Dufferii,. $4,067;
Durham, $2,411; Elgin $1,745; Es-
sex $4,253; 'Glengarry, $2,15'9; Nor-
folk,. $1,838; Northumberland $1,-

, Of the northern municipalities,
neither IIeilora nor Thttnder'Bay had.
anything to pay last year, Cochrane
paid $36,65 and Manitoulin, .once a
great sheep -raising centre until the
wolves got the better of the industry,
expended $915.85.

grtiinbled at the lireaelier's ,faults,
