The, importance of Eastern Ontar­ io in the dairying industry of the province is indicated by the fact that over 650 cheese factories are oper­ ating east of Toronto as compared with 8i5 factories west of Toronto. These figures were recently complied by Geo. H. Barr, Director of the Dairy Branch of the Department. The Ideal Exhibit Addressing the annual convention of .the Canadian Seed Growers’ As­ sociation recently L. H. Newman, Dominion Cerealist, summarized the essentials of the ideal exhibit as fol­ lows: “The ideal exhibit might be defined as one consisting''of /kernels typical, of the variety and as nearly alike as possible in size, shape and color. The whole exhibit should pre­ sent a sound, vigorous, lustrous/ vi­ tal appearance, and should be free from* all impurities and all evidences of disease or nnsoundness.” , It is also of interest to note that Mr. Newman strongly advocates the application of the growing test to determine the true worth of the seed sample before prize awards are finally made. with them. The farmer who is pro* during eggs for market will be well advised erelg or if very to need them, 'hens, most of the time at least, until next February or March, according to the time when he intends to start hatching again.

REYCRAFT OF BIDDULPH DROPPED DEAD WHILE BUYING GASOLINE ON LUCAN STREET Nutritional Deficiency in UattJe When your cows start chewing the rail fence or cleaning up on old shoes, it is time to look into the foofil supply question and find out just wliat makes them want to fill up on wood and leather when hay and chop are available. A recent survey of I Ontario- conditions by members of O.A.C. and A.V.C. staffs makes clear that nutritional deficiency diseases] are very evident, especially in Counties of Bruce and Grey. Phosphorous and calcium are two most important mineral liients in |he animal -body since they greatly influence muscular move­ ment, the clotting -of blood and the digestive processes. Iodine is also important in that it affects the thv- roid gland and hence the growth of the aniiiial'. '■ ' Depraved appetites and stiffness are sure .symptoms of disease, which can be combated only by supplying the necessary mineral elements. Roughage of a leguminous nature, such as alfalfa and clover hay are excellent for this purpose as is the feeding of iodized sale. Exposure to sunlight is essential, while clea*. and sanitary .conditions -conifbined with regular brushing and combing will do much to stimulate the duction of vitamine connected mineral absorption. Reports from field representatives show that Fed clover came through the winter in excellent condition and and has made unusual development since, The stands are exceptionally strong and thick. From a seed pro­ duction standpoint the condition is not wholly desirable, since -strong, sappy plants of legumes do not us­ ually set seed well, and the best seed fields are procured in modeately dry Seasons when growth is less rank. Evidently the best hope for seed of either red clover or alfalfa this year is in the second cut, as fields which are cut for hay early, not later than the last week in June, should be fairly promising of a seed crop. Farmers should use home-grown clqver seed because of its superior hardiness and adaptability to native conditions. Besides home-grown seed of red clover and alfalfa usually commands a substantial premium over imported seeds of these kinds. Imported red clover and alfalfa seed is known by the presence of green or red stained 'seed required by gov­ ernment regulation to identify it as On July 6th there passed away at his home in Zurich, Solomon Ja­ cobo, aged 73 years, 7 months and 21 days, He had been failing some­ what -of late and two weeks ago he took more seriously ill finally suc­ cumbing.

Weekly Crop Repoi t Reports submitted by district resentutives would indicate that all over Ontario farmers are -going to. reap bountiful harvests. A bumper crop of fall wheat is practically as­ sured, Barley and oats are heading out heavily. -Cutting of a heavy crop of alfalfa and ■clover is general. A good crop of peas for canning is as­ sured, while early potatoes are in bloom and promising, and root crops generally are showing satisfactory growth. Early beans suffered from weevil, but those sown later are do­ ing well. Tree,, fruits are promising The cutworm has been active in the to’bacco fields and a small precent- age of the crop will be spotty. On the whole the warm weather with occasional showers has been most favorable for growth and the out­ look is most encouraging.

Of all trees, the oak is most susceptible to lightn­ ing. So says a bulletin issued by the Davey Institute'of the Tree Survey, which has been studying the phe- nomea of lightning in relation to trees. If you get under a tree, says the Davey Institute, find a beech, for it is rarely ever the victim of lightning The ratio of the oak to the beech in being 'Struck by an electrical bolt is 60 to 1, according to observations, made over a period of years. The roots of a tree tap the elec­ trical field of the ground. When a storm cloud is overhead the positive electricity in it is attracted by the negative electricity in the earth, and lightning follows. Trees, swell as oak, whch have a large roc/k area naturally have larg­ er electrical fields than others. Oaks also have “tap” roots, which go far into the gound and bring up large quantities of water to the’tree, which serves ag another attracion for elec­ trical bolts. • ..-Y;- - The best advice of .the Davey In­ stitute is to avoid trees altogether when lighning is at work, as it would be somewhat difficult -for the layman to make a scientific selection in time of emergency. Better to keep in the open spaces if no house is near, and get thoroughlj' wet than to offer yourself as a target for lightning.
