WITH FULLY- GUARANTEED ROGERS TUBES News and Information for The Busy Farmer (Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agriculture) Weekly Crop Report Harvesting throughout. Ontario' is practically completed and fair yields have been reported through the greater part of the province, altho­ ugh yields of oats and barley are not of las good, quality as last year, Throughout the eastern portion of the porvincie it has been very dry and there has been a decided falling off of milk, butter and cheese. EggB are •becoming scarce and the price is ad­ vancing, Hogs and. lambs are tak­ ing a decided slump in price, Alfalfa and red clover seed threshing has been to progress and very fair yields reported. Prices for all farm pro­ duce are exceptionally low. Near Pear Markets Owing to new tariff conditions, Western Canada is clamoring for Ontario- Barlett pears, according' to C. B. Bauer, secretary of the Grow­ ers’ Markets .Council, Orders have already been received and Ontario’s large Barlett pear crop will find pro­ fitable outlets in the West as well as in Great Britain, where, according to Andrew Fulton, growers’ represen­ tative, the market for Barlett pears is unsually good this year. The crop in England and Europe is short and likewise in many of the Amer­ ican producing sections. . The can- ners’ requirements are limited and growers are advised to take full ad­ vantage of exporting Barletts to the West and to the Old- Country. For export purposes, Barlett pears .should be shipped in barrels and. half-foiar- rels ,and for Western markets the standard pear box should be used. Fair Grants to be Cut Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy is serv­ ing 'ap ultimatum upon Fall Fair Associations in Ontario that unless they discontinue their practice of looking chiefly to Queen’s Park for financial assistance, tlie usual Gov­ ernment grants will not be forth­ coming in 19132. He is convinced that many fairs show too little pride in themselves, that they would soon­ er aslc the Government for help than their own . municipalities. Conse­ quently he is taking steps to alter that attitude. This year the usual grants will be made b’ut next year the Government will give a fair no more money than the fair’s municip­ ality gives. On the present basis of contribution, several fairs at least would have to suspend operations. The government contributes between $80,000 and $100,000 a season in supporting these fairs. Under the new policy a considerable .part, .of the expenditure will be saved, which is ' in line with the general policy of retrenchment in the de­ partment, Ontario is by far the largest pro­ ducer of tobacco among the pro­ vinces of Canada, having contributed 28,600,000 pounds of a grand total of 36,70.0,000 pounds for all Canada last year. In all, 32,S05 acres were devoted to tobacco-raising in On­ tario last year. Central Canada Show A record number of 29 4 entries was made in the judging competi­ tion in live stock- at the Central Canada Exhibition in Ottawa, last week. Competitors in this depart­ ment as well as those in the House­ hold Science Judging Competitions, numbering about 400, were enter­ tained at dinner by the Ottawa Ki- wanis Club when Dr. G. I. Christie was guest speaker, Junior features of the program were judging of grain and roots and also- showman­ ship competitions. A total of 6 6 young men entered in the former competition, while about ninety young men demonstrated their skill in handling live stock. Keen inter­ est was taken in competitions in in­ ter-county pens of market lambs and bacon nogs. Baled Hay Good quality baled hay is quite extensively used in Eastern United States centers and the demand ap­ pears to be increasing. ’'Ontario MINISTERS INVITED The -congregation of the Kn-ox Presbyterian Church has extended g call to Rev. David J. Lane, B.A., of WallaicebUtg, to become their min­ ister to succeed Rev, R. C, McDer- mid who has moved to Toronto. The Kincardine United Church has extended a call to Rev, "Walter B. Craw, of Toronto, to become pas­ tor Of the church, succeeding Rev. W. Jewett, who leaves on Septem­ ber 1st for Division. Street United Church, Owen Sound. farmers who can grew good crops of alfalfa may expect to find n fair market foir3 their surplus! in this way, Other types of hay well put up will also find a Certain trade de­ mand. It has been brought to our atten­ tion that a large amount of the Ca­ nadian hay meets with considerable disfavor upon arrival in United States centres. The chief complaints are siz;e of bale and tightness of pressing. Bales of from i.40 to 190 pounds are not uncoiinuron. One of the largest exporters has definitely instructed his buyers to give preferenlce to farmers who put their liiay up in looser bales of from 110 to 140 pounds. As a matter of fact, bales of from 90 to 110 pounds are preferred by certain trades- on account of their ease of handling. Bales that are too tightly pressed tend to become matted and are dif­ ficult to tear apart, Musty bales are found -also in some instances and. are quite out of place in any good trade. Indications point to a somewhat draggy market for baled hay this year., It is quite apparent, there­ fore, that the better quality, tight­ ly pressed, badly matted hay in heavy bales. Fruit Crop prospects Canadian commercial apple pros­ pects indicate a yield of 3,629,000 barrels, an increase of 218,300 ovei* the 1930 figure. This is six per cent more than last year and eleven per cent, ^nrore than the five-yeai* average. Pears .show a -considerable increase in British Columbia, while a 30 per cent, decrease is expected in Ontario. Peaches show an in­ crease in both provinces and -the total 'commercial crop of 904,0'00 bushels is a 20 per -cent, increase over the 1930 yield. Plums and prunes indicate a reduction of ap­ proximately 17 per cent., while grapes show an increase in both On­ tario and British Columbia, Premier’s Message “You must put your hands to the plow and solve this problem for yourselves, by raising greater crops and finer live stock such as will command the markets of the world,’’ was the advice given ’to people of rural Ontario by Premier Henry in his opening address at the Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa. He urg­ ed them to be patient with their municipal representatives at this time in regard to the load of taxation caused by improving educational fa­ cilities and good roads expenditure. Speaking of rural hydro expansion, the Premier stated that this year the Hydro Commission would con­ struct an additional 2,000 miles of rural power line, doubling its mile­ age. A flat service charge not to exceed $30.00 a year was made pos­ sible to the farmer through Govern­ ment assistance in hydro develop­ ment, -without which a prohibitive charge of’$100 a year at least would have to he made. Benns in Elgin Elgin County Bean Field Day was held recently on the farm of J. J. Johnson, Wardsville. On this farm several fertility demonstration plots 'are located under direction of the Department of Chemistry, O.A. C. Fertility tests on beans showed a large difference in yield and ma­ turity between the best fertility plot and the check plot. Speaking of beans, Professor-Caesar was in Elgin County recently investigating what proved to be a serious outbreak of green clover worm on field beans*. This insect is of the- Noctuid type, but differs in habit from the com­ mon. cutworms. Many fields were found infected with this w-orm and in many cases the entire field de­ stroyed. It also attacked turnip fields and in the later plantings es­ pecially it did immense •damage and practically stripped away all the leaves and ruined entire fields.- The inroads of the little green worm were found as far north as Lake Hu- Ton and few patches of turnips and ,no fields of beans were found to be immune. No further damage is ex­ pected as the larvae have begun to pupate. DEATH OF MRS.
