Hay from inoculated plants contains more pro­ tein per ton than that from plants mot inoculated. Inoculate alfalfa ®,nd use lime if the soil needs it. Brood Slow policy The Brood Sow Policy introduced by the Federal Department just one year ago has resulted in 1977 brood jsows being placed with farmers at a total cost to the Department of $17,323.88, or $8.76 each. Under this policy any farmer may order a select bacon type sow and when the initial deposit is received by an of­ ficial of the Department the sow is- purchased on the stockyards at the current market price, It is then fed and bred free of charge and one- half the freight to the purchaser’s meanest railway station is paid by the Department. The Seed Crop The movement of clovers- and grass seeds- continues to be below -the average for the season. (Ordin­ arily export demand has relieved the domestic market of mu'ch larger ^quantities- this year, The produc­ tion in 1931 plus the carry-over from 1930 -constitutes a very much larger supply than the domestic .market is likely to require this season, and this coupled with limit­ ed exports has resulted in fewer of­ fers to growers and very low prices as compared with other years. Esti­ mates of production in 1931 and supplies in sight show substantial ■surpluses of red clover, alsike, sweet clover and -blue grass. Timothy is- in better domestic demand than- .some of the other seeds .-owing to insufficient production to meet do­ mestic requirements. There is vir­ tually no market at present for al­ falfa, alsike and sweet clover in On­ tario where the largest quantity is .grown commercially in Canada. The following percentage of seeds pro­ duced in Ontario is reported sold; Bed- clover, 30; alfalfa, 10.; alsike, 50; sweet clover, 5; timothy, 2; Canadian Blue Grass, 5 0. The num­ ber of pounds unsold is estimated: Bed Clover, 775,000; alfalfa, 3,- 500,000; alsike, l,150<,000; sweet clover, 1,000,000; timothy, 24,000; Canadian blue grass. 400,000. Essex Corn Crop The splendid corn crop which was harvested in Essex County this year, is now moving to market somewhat ahead of the usual time. Not in years have the growers been able to- spoil corn until January. The past year has been quite favorable and corn has been dry enough for shell­ ing since November. There is much more corn than is needed for the live stock population of the county and there should be a large quant­ ity for sale to other distributors. Corn has been selling at from 315c. to 2c. a bushel. O.A.C. Short Courses Winter short courses in Livestock and. Field Crops, Poultry-raising, Factory Cheese and Buttermaking, Beekeeping, and Drainage, started at the Ontario Agricultural College this week. In February courses will be given in Fruit and Vegetable Growing, Floriculture and Lands­ cape Gardening, Ice Cream, Making, and Farm Mechanics, There will be other courses for the month of March. Young men from Ontario farms are especially urged to attend one or more of these courses this winter. They provide a new Inter­ est in farm work and will give new ideas and practical instruction. Essay Winners Winners of the essay contest con­ ducted in connection with the Fifth Junior Farmers’ Trip” to the Royal Winter Fair have been announced, In addition to special prizes, award­ ed to writers of the winning essays in each county, the Department has awarded ten championship prizes for the ten best essays, submitted. Each championship prize consists of a two weeks’ short course at either O.A.C. or the Kemptville Agricultur­ al School. The purpose of the es­ say competition was to encourage members of the party to study and analyze the exhibits, displays etc. The winners are: Wellington, Gor­ don Green, of Arthur; Grey, Edgar Ash, of Chesley, R.R. 4; Haldimand, Wm. T. Stadier, of Selkirk R.R. 2; Perth, Robt. Ballantyne, of St. Pauls, R.R. 2; Muslkoka, Lloyd Step­ hens, Bracebridge; Parry Sound, Victor Irwin, Magnetawan; Lanark, Stewart Rodger, Lanark R.R. 2; Renfrew, Lorne Whelan, of Adam­ son; Leeds, Donald E. Turner of Mallorytown, R.R. No. 1; Dundas. James Ashton, of Newington. Experimental Uulou The Ontario Experimental Union will hold its; annual meeting at the Ontario Agricultural College, on January 12 and 13, according to an­ nouncement by Prof. Wffl* Bquir- roll, head, of the Field Husbandry Department of the Q. A. C., and se­ cretary of the Union. The meeting will bo attended by farmers from all parts of Ontario and from many points outside the,, province Market for Barley in Bacon ami Beef There is practically no limit to th© production of barley in Cana­ da and recent tests show that it pro­ duces better bacon and beef than other grains. It is proving fully the equal of corn when fed with suit­ able supplements in the form, of home-grown leguminous roughages. Barley can be used^in almost any proportion of the grain ration up to one hundred per cent. |As a hog feed it develops an entirely satisfac­ tory class of bacon, which is more than can be said for corn fed in equal proportions, and as a feed fox' beef cattle barley is undoubted­ ly one of the best of our Canadian grown coarse grains. The increas­ ed use of barley and other coarse grains at their present low" levels will make for much better quality in the beef being marketed, and this in turn will help create a demand' for more beef. Potato Champion Honored ’** Edmund Maurice, of Simcoe Co., who won first prize for his potatoes at the Royal Winter Fair, was re­ cently the guest of honor at a ban­ quet sponsored by the Barrie KHwan- is Club. It was attended by nearly two hundred townspeople and farm­ ers, including leading federal and provincial agricultural officials. It is noteworthy that seven years ago the Barrie Kiwanians purchased cer­ tified seed potatoes at $5 per bag and distributed them among the farmers of North Simcoe as an in­ centive to growing better crops. The work was promoted largely by Ste­ wart L. Page, local Agricultural Representative, who was instrumen­ tal in interesting Mr.’ Maurice in growing Dooleys three years ago. Prof. W. J. Squirrell, of Ontario Ag­ ricultural College declared that at no place or by no man has there ever been a better sample of potato shown than those exhibited by Mr. Maurice. Occasion was taken by Dr. G. I. Christie, O.A.C, President, to refer to the six grown-up sons of the potato champion, who assisted him in producing the prize potatoes> “If you want to forward a l’gi’i cul­ tural, it will not be done by raising boys and sending them to the cities. Success can only come by keeping the boys reared on the farm and who love it, at home.” jQuality has no substitute WHALEN (Intended for last week.) • Miss Ruth Morley, of London, spent several days under the par­ ental roof, Mr. Batten is quite ill at the home of his daughter Mrs. Thos, Morley.

Liverpool, Eng., Dec. 29 (CP).— The Liverpool Chamber of Com- mei'ce this afternoon passed a reso­ lution expressing appreciation of the government’s intention to help do­ mestic and empire wheat growers, •but regretting the government had decided on the quota system in pref­ erence to any other. The resolution added the Chamber believed the quota system would seriously interfere with the freedom of marketing and with the free sel­ ection of the world’s wheats for British milling. J. J. (Swindell, president of the Liverpool Corn Trade Association, said the result of the quota system would be dearer bread. The present uncertainty regarding the project of giving the dominions a fixed quota of the British market for wheat is having a most serious effect on the Liverpool futures mar­ ket, which is experiencing the small­ est trade iix forty years.
