Improvement Association Formed Breeders of all kinds of farnv fitock in Elgin County were brought together recently at St. Thomas to form the Elgin lave Stock Associa­ tion One of the first activities planned by the organization is to wake a bull census of the county and to institute a campaign to eliminate the scrub ’bull so that at least SO per cent, may be purebred. Three directors, each were chosen from the different townships. N. Martin, Springfield, was elected as president; J. E. Pierce, Wallace- Ijurg, vice-president, and Fletcher Thomas, agricultural representative, was made secretary-treasurer. Preventing Fires Fire Marshall E. P. Heaton re­ cently issued a warning to farmers that they should exercise greater care in harvesting their crops if they hope to avoid losses through spontaneous combustion. At the •close of the. inquiry into Went- -worth. County 'barn fires, he .sug­ gested that farmers revert to the old-time custom of using salt in curing crops. Salt, he pointed out, aided) greatly in preventing fires. He also advocated that fire extin­ guishers be carried on all threshing machines. Static electricity in the blower of the thresher, which c'au be overcome by grounding wires, ■was the cause of at least one fire in Wentworth. Feed Sunshine Cod liver oil, the sunshine substi­ tute, is one of the most important items in .the properly balanced poul­ try ration. Where birds are .closely -confined during the winter months, as is the case in most parts of Cana­ da, they receive very little direct 'sunlight, and with the rations usual­ ly fed they do not receive all the vitamins they require. 'Calcium and- p'hosplierous are two minerals specially required for laying pullets ar.d hens in the manufacture of I RTTV17TQ QJoU I JAlVO READ THAT PRICES ARE LOW and that means bargains. Wise merchants with stocks on hand want to convert them into cash and are looking for buyers. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING points the way to both—when the buyer and seller have a message of common interest. The great news of the day and the unprecedented bargains for the thrifiy. It means a great saving to the buyer and a cleaning of shelves to the seller. It is time to buy and time to advertise bargains to the buyers. FOR BARGAIN NEWS eggs. The digestion and assimila­ tion of materials, especially cialcium, require one of two things; an abun­ dance of direct sunshine of an abundance of vitamin J). Cod liver oil is. rich in vitamin D, and is one of the reliable sources of this type of food. Grading Helps Exports Dependable quality is an advan­ tage in the export market. In the past year export of eggs from Hali­ fax to Bermuda have held steady despite the advantage of lower prices enjoyed by competing expert product. This is a fine indication' of the value of standardized grad­ ing for eggs and of the benefit of government inspection of export eggs. Canadian exporters have se­ cured the confidence of the Bermu­ da market in the quality of Aheir product and the reliability of our grades. The same is true with re­ spect to the export of eggs to New­ foundland, where quality is winning confidence with the result that im­ portant new markets for Canadian eggs are developing. Weekly Crop Report Live stock generally is reported to b® in fairly good condition and most farmers are depending on us­ ing their home-grown products for feed this year. With plenty of roots to add succelence to the rations, and a good quality of roughage available, live stock should fare well. A report from Grey County indicates that the cold storage plant at Thornbury has been the means of greatly increasing the returns from apples. The dairy cattle mar­ ket is reported active for several areas, with sales to New York state, Quebec and other parts of Canada. There is a good deal of water in most parts cf the province and there is not likely to be any short­ age for some time at least. Potatoes For Feed Th feeding, of potatoes to live stock provides a very satisfactory outlet for the lower grades of the crop, ’Second-grade potatoes may be used as a feed for hogs arid also in limited amounts for cattle, sheep and horses as a substitute for grain. For pig’s the potatoes should he boiled, mixed with the grain and fed with other concentrates. A pro­ tein supplement needs to be fed with this. Experiments indicate that it takes about 420 pounds of potatoes, fed after cooking, to equal 100 pounds of corn or barley. For the best results in nwine feeding the proportion of potatoes in the ration should not be greater than four pounds to one of concentrates. Po­ tatoes may furnish half of the dry matter in the ration for icattle and sheep and one-fourth for horses, Dairy cows should not receive more than about 35 pounds per day as larger amounts may impair the qual­ ity of butter produced. For fatten­ ing sheep, from two to three pounds daily should be fed with the grain. For cattle and sheep feeding, the potatoes should be chopped and mix­ ed with the grain, and should be raw. They may ibe fed raw to hogs, particularly brood sows, if time and labor cannot be spared for cooking. Excellent Work Done By Growers’ ’ Market Council Wonderful things have been ac­ complished in the short time the Ontario Growers’ Markets Council has been established. An enormous increase has been made in the vol­ ume of Ontario fruits and vege­ tables shipped West in 1931 as compared to 1930. A great deal of this was due to the progress made in grading and central packing and giving Westerners products pack­ ed in the way they want them. A promotion and sales representative was maintained in the^West as well as in the Maritimes and at least three times the quantity of Ontario produce was consumed in the East as in any previous year. The grape growers were helped out in their problems and although prices have been low, the grapes have been sold without depending on the wineries as in former years. Progress has been made toward a better under- sanding with canners that if they want the growers’ support toward the idea of Canadian canned goods for Canadians the producers must get proper consideration. With orders obtained and inquir­ ies for more Ontario boxed peaches and other commodities than could be delivered this season, the abso­ lute need from the selling point of view for the success of the regis­ tration drive now being featured by the council was emphasized by Charles W. Bauer, secretary, On­ tario Growers’ Market Connell, 10 McNab Street, Hamilton. ’Similar experiences as with peaches were had with cabbages and other com­modities. ‘"The Council is follow­ ing the policy of developing new markets and extending old markets for Ontario products," continued Mr. Bauer. "Already a representa­ tive ig maintained, in Western and Eastern Canada and in Great Bri­ tain. Starting late in the season, only the surface possibilities have been scratched this year, but the valuable point is that we are help­ ing farmers to sell their products in a large way at a low cost and in addition are opening up new and unexpected markets. For ex­ ample, this year for the frst time in more than a decade, over 400, # ✓/ no substitute yfes/'/romt/ie^anfens'’ 000 barrels of Ontario apples are expected to be shipped to Great Britain at profitable prices to our growers, "While registration will serve many other purposes, such as pest and disease control, provide mail­ ing lists for marketing and other information, yet its primary pur­ pose is to enable the Council to know who produces the various varieties of fruits and vegetables in the province and sp be able to put buyers in touch with growers who wish to sell their products."
