Feed to a Finish Farmers who are feeding cattle for beef are asked to note that coii- siderable numbers of half-fat cattle have been brought in by shippers. The market has enough depressing factors to contend with, and shippers are requested in their own interest not to sacrifice half-finished stock and thereby adversely affect the market as a whole. Feed your beef cattle to a finish and get all the mar­ ket has to offer. A Word to Corn Raisers The oom borer is not the greatest enemy of the corn raisers of West­ ern Ontario, according to Prof. L. Caesar. The farmer’s own failure to choose seed suited for Canadian con­ ditions are responsible for quite as much damage as the corn borer. Prof. Caesar points out that United States varieties of corn are for the most part unsuited to growth in Western. Ontario and there is plenty ’of seed corn of the right type available in this part of the country He further declares that corn is planted too quickly in the majority of cases. 'Poor varieties of .seed and too thick plant­ ing caused more loss to growers in 1930 than the corn borer, he points _____ # Registration of Holsteins Advanced registration work the Holstein breeders has 'been grad­ ually gaining ground since July la’si when the first of the herd-grading demonstrations took place. Already more than 4,000 cows ’have been classified, and with the opening, of spring a busy season for the inspec­ tors is predicted. Some- of the leading counties with herds1 graded include: Leeds, 33; Oxford 18; Glengarry 18; Greenville 21; Haldimand 34; Perth 23; Prtri'ce” Edward 17; York 13;.Waterloo 1 ; Quebec 32. In Leeds County of 457 cows grad­ ed, 442 were classified good or bet­ ter; /Oxford, 299 out of 302; Perth, 20 8 -out of 235; Waterloo, 185 out of 186; Grenville, 242 out of 25 6; Haldimand, §55 out of 261; York, 188 out of 195; Glengarry, 191 -out of 197 and Quebec, 306 out of 312. It will thus be observed that the number of cows and heifers qualify­ ing as “fair” or “poor” has been proportionately small. with Muy Seeds Early recent years’ the tendency has to put off the buying of seed spring is- actually in sight. been until Formerly the peak of the purchas,- in'g season was early in March, with many farmers laying in supplies of mid-winter. Now the period of most active buying has shifted well on into April. The ’ purchase of seed, the foundation upon which all agriculture rests, is too important an item to be left to the last min­ utes. Ground is drying out ifast in all localities and only a little warm­ er weather is needed to make con­ ditions right for sowing. A rush buying of seeds is against both ■farmers’ and .seedsmen’s interests, as naturally a large volume of busi­ ness cannot be handled so satisfact­ orily in a few days as if spread over a week or two. The buyer has not the same opportunity to consider quality and proper ’ varieties and there is the risk of Ideal supplies running short. Also there is a temptation to accept inferior un­ tested seed which invariably results in low crops and dirty ifields. The •Sale is prohibited for seeding pur­ poses of anything that does not come up 'to the rigid standards laid down by the Seeds Act. Buyers are warned against any seed that has not been government-tested and approved. Weekly Crop Report - Alfalfa and clovers1 are in a bet­ ter condition now than they were in 1930 according to the weekly re­ port of agricultural representatives. At the same time eggs have reached their lowest value in years.

In Bruce falj wheat and (clovers are still -covered with snow and the farmers find the feed situation 'ex­ ceptionally good, Less seed grain will ‘be purchased in Glengarry this sea san than in recent years. Low egg prices have stimulated Grenville farmers to cull” their flocks. Milk production here is 25 per cent, high­ er than last winter. Halt-Op reports fall wheat and clovers as coming out of the winter in fairly .satisfac­ tory condition. In Leeds there is- iconsiderable activity h's regards live­ stock and a number of cheese fac­ tories have opened^ Wheat and clovers in Lincoln are in better shape than in 1930 while several growers have already planted early pears. Norfolk reports an increase in flue-cured tobacco acreage to 20,- 000 'acr.es. The new seed cleaning plant in Ontario is being given much patronage with a good demand for the certified' product. Renfrew farm­ ers 'have disposed of between 10,- 000 and 12,000 bushels of mixed car lots of seed barley at fair prices. Spring, cultivation has started in the Welland district in the vegetable sections. Pure seed for mixing is very scarce in Wellington, the re­ port blaming this factor for poor yields. Quack Grass Control .Spring tillage or late fall is not a satisfactory means stroying quack or couch 'grass, cording to one authority wlio has given three years’ observation to the work and who declares unqualifiedly that, .summer is distinctly the most dependable season for destroying quack grass by tillage. The degree of control is in direct .proportion t'o the thoroughness of tillage, timeli­ ness of the operation and favorable ness of weather conditions. Ordin­ ary cultivation isi not effective in control. An occasional and half­ hearted stirring of the soil .stimu­ lates 'the weed's growth. The. one­ way disk plow has been found very effective in quick grass elimination and has "a low operating cost. tillage of de- >, ac- A Valuable Booklet Prepared in the hope that it create a keener appreciation of first- class beef on the part of ‘Canadian consumers, a booklet on “Beef—• ’ How 'to Choose and Qo.okl .It,” ..has. been issued by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. The book­ let covers in a brief but clear man­ ner such subjects as the food value of beef, selection and care, and the relationship -of the higher-priced to ' the lower-priced cuts. M,ore than half the booklet is ’devoted to "prac­ tical suggestions -on how best? to cook beef and the last few pages contain many excellent recipes. Beef grading and its value in protecting the consumer and Stimulating the .producer are thoroughly explained and the booklet should prove help­ ful to Canadian housewives and re­ tail meat merchants.

PENSION Legislation to w implement pre* election promises will be introduc­ ed this session by the Benpett gov­ ernment. Definite nobice is given, that national old age pensions will become a reality. Federal assistance- will be provided for technical edu-- cation, and for highway construction and remedial legislation to aid agri- cuture will be introduced. ' It is expected that a minimum sum of-$4,000,000'a year will be voted 1 foi’ highways and technical educa­ tion. Federal assumption of old age pensions }n their entirety will re­ lieve provinces and municipalities of more than fifteen millions a year in taxation and will bring the federal outlay for pensions to approximately $30,000,000 a year. The Maritime’ provinces and Quebec, which have not enjoyed pensions under the pres­ ent act, will be brought under the new legislation. When the new act iff really functioning on a national basis, it’ is believed the cost will run to forty millions a yeak; but that wilt' not be until 1932 for it will take at least twelve months to create mach­ inery and deal with applications in the provinces which have not hither­ to had old age pensions. / Bow ties are all right but a four- in-hand protects the shirt betted when you have sbup. a Mrs. Susan E^an is still confined t-o her bed und’fer the doctors care, with Mrs, Frank McCarty as nufsd.
