A Goom Chick Ration A balanced ration for chick's is re­ commended as follows: 70 pounds of ground yellow .Corn, 2|5 pounds Of wheat middlings, 5 pounds of bone meal, one pound of halt, and all the milk the chicks will drink. If milk is not available add 25 pounds of dried skim milk or buttermilk or 15 pounds of dried milk and 10 pounds of meat scrap. The ingredients must be free from mold and be mix­ ed in proper proportions. The Real Cost Factor order to reduce production of live stock and live stock f In costs products high acre yields' of home­ grown feeds are* the prime requisite animal husbandry experts assert, One. must measure the milk produc­ tion of the herd not as so many pounds per. cow, but per acre of land that grew the crops that in’ turn fed the herd. in proper relationship.’This means thorough cultivation and effeient farm practice—better than evei’ be­ fore. Only then will they exist Wedkly^Crop Report Harvesting of fall wheat through­ out the province has been fairly general during the past week and abundant yields are reported from most sections. Haying is finished, with the best crop in some years, particularly of clover, reported from many districts. Pastures in many counties have been injured by ex­ treme heat, while spring grains are expected to 'be short in th*e straw, Intermittent rains have added im­ mensely, however, in most parts of Ontario. The canning pea crop was reported light, especially in the Eas­ tern Ontario District. Apples are expected to be a much bigger yield than a year ago. Grow­ ers have had cause to worry in the matter of controlling scab as a pe­ riod of sultry weather was very fav­ orable toward the development of fungus. Heavy showers prevented spraying machines from operating in many districts just when they should have been after the scab. Considerable dirty fruit is therefore probable. Some districts, are wor­ ried, too, because of lack of surplus moisture and if a dry spell'should develop, the fruit may be on the small size, Ontario’s honey crop from cloversOntario’s honey crop from clovers for 1931 will be fully up to the av- eraige.

The J0nglish ap­ ple cro-p is light and the crop from Virginia, Ontario’s chief competitor, wijl be below normal. Hon. Thom* as L, Kennedy is confident of the success' of Ontario growers in this regayd and points out that the apple export trade here is becoming stand­ ardized. “We have Worked out a bi'and to be placed on every box of apples handled by the Central Pack­ ers’ Association'. It is the ‘Big Oh’ brand’ and every apple in a box bear­ ing this brand'Is guaranteed to- be in perfect condition. Independent growers will not be allowed to use this brand, but as the majority of growers are or will be 'members of the 'association, it means that the big majority going overseas will bear this trademark.” The Minister further points out that the cold storage facilities which the Government is assisting to pro­ vide for the proper storage of fruit, will strengthen Ontario’s hold on overseas markets. Five new cold storage plants are either under why or being planned. The addition is the Norfolk plant will double its pre­ sent capacity and take care of the expected crop of 100,0>00 barrels in that district. Prince Edw'ard grow-; ers are erecting a new plant at Pic- ton, where fruit wifll be graded, pre­ cooled and stored. A growers’ or­ ganization has been formed and will handle all sorts of supplies like fer­ tilizers, insecticides’, barrels, as well as taking full charge of the fruit marketing end. The" new plant at Thornibury in the Georgian Bay dis­ trict, to replaee the ordinary stor­ age destroyed' by fire last winter, is also under way. Plans are under way for another plant at Trenton, in the Eastern Ontario apple growing district, while the Thediford celery growers in Lambton expect to have contracts h-igned for their plant soon. In addition there are several older plants in operation, such as those at St. Catherines and at Brighton. On­ tario should be fairly well served with iire-cooling’ and cold storage facilities this fall. FARMER NEAR CREDITON FACES' CHARGES OF WIFE BEATING AND BREACH OF L- C> A* GODERICH, July 15,—Charged with wife-cheating and with a breach! of the Liquor Control Act, Albert Blomme, near Crediton, was taken into custody by Provincial Constable Whitesides and lodged in county; jail here.

Down in Norfolk Cjounty in -one of the oldest and most noted orchards in that aisbrict known as the Mc- Inally Farm, there is a 24-year-old tree that will-yield this year approx­ imately 100 six-quart baskets of cherries. There -are hundreds of other trees in the MJcInally orchard that will bear^almost. as prolificaliy. In all, the orchard has about 1,500 trees. They were ^planted 24 years ag'o in a gravel soil and have been carefully, husbanded, thoroughly sprayed and cultivated. 'They in­ clude light and dark Bighrreau cher­ ries, Windsor, Montmorency and Governor Wood. The orchard will this year yield between' five and six thousand baskets, which are mar­ keted in Ontario and Quebec cities. Last year some of these fine cher­ ries brought at high as $1.75 per basket. The trees are ’fairly .glean­ ing under the exceptionally heavy yield, and every twig has its clus­ ter, ih “fact .some of the trees give the impression of a solid mass of cherries. They are entirely free from -blight and pests, although the sultry weathef of early July caused some dry rot vin the fruit. The Mclnally farm has been in the family for one hundred years.
