JANE ALDSWORTH Fertilizer Experiments In 1931 under auspices of the Experimental Union. 194 co-opera­ tion fertilizer experiments were con­ ducted with farm crops on 77 6 plots, -Cereal grains showed an average in­ creased yield of 10 bushels per acre where fertilizer were used; potatoes ■•SO bushels per acre; turnips 3.6 tons per acre; mangels 10.7 tons; silage -corn 25 per cent, and meq^ow^.ave an increase of 4,315 pounds’of green weight materials. Connecting on th© work, Dr. Harcourt, Professor of Chemistry at 0. A. C. emphasized the necessity of placing the fertiliz­ er within reach of the growing plant and deep .enough in the soil to be affected by moisture. Surface appli­ cations are condemned except where land is drilled for roots, in which case the fertilizer is brought into the drill. On meadows and alfalfa the fertilizer must necessarily be spread on the surface, but where possible the material should be put into the soil and near but not in contact with the seed, he advises. sweet clover should be restricted to those areas where there is no dan­ ger of getting it mixed with small seed crops. Seeding down a field of alfalfa is easily equal to <a liberal application of manure, Also be­ cause of its long, thick roots, alfalfa is a splendid plant for opening up heavy clay and also (for adding moisture-retaining humus, to light soils, Once established, it will in a few years smother out most weeds. To derive most advantage from this cheap fertilizer, it should b© follow­ ed with heavy feeding crops, such as corm cabbage-, potatoes, or any market garden truck. Where seed­ ing down for the firs: time, it is ad­ visable to sow at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds to the acre, and it is al­ so a good plan to inoculate the seed, As there is an abundance of high­ grade, home-grown seed offered this spring and the price is low, there should be no temptation to buy anything but Government-test­ ed alfalfa. Many new names will he added to the municipal election lists this year as legislation giving farmer’s daughters the right to vote goes into effect. Young women, over 21 living on their parents’ farms, are given equal rights with their broth­ ers, under this measure which was adopted about a year ago. In many townships the assessors are just starting on »their rounds and they have been instructed to make the necessary lists.

Born in Scotland, she came to this country with her parents and settled at Brucefield, Ontario. She was twice married, her first husband being Mr,* M, Makins, Exeter. She leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs, E- Reedham, Brantford and Miss M. Makins, formerly of Goderich. The funeral took place from the home of her daughter to Brucefield, where interment took place,— Goderich Star, Counter Check Books!! The Times-Advocate has recently been appointed agent in this district for an exceptionally fine line of Seed Corn Unexcelled FORMER EXETER BOY, SON OF CANON PERKINS IS RAISED TO PRIESTHOOD FREDERICTON, N.B., Feb. 24.— Rev. II. R. Perkins, who has been curate at Christ Church Cathedral since last June, was ordained to the Anglican priesthood today at Christ Church ardson, men. Rev. ericton June last, by the late Arclibiship Williams at Chatham, Ont. Mr. Perkins’ father Rev, Canon Perkins, participated in Cathedral by Bishop Rich- assisted by several clergy- Mr. Perkins came to Fred- from Chatham, Ont., in He was ordained deacon Current Crop Report Crop reports receives from repre­ sentatives would indicate that the majority of livestock are in good condition and have had the opport­ unity of more exercise this winter than for some seasons past, A num­ ber of .poultrymen report that their flocks are starting to moult due to heavy production early in the season and the supply ..of eggs has fallen off as high as 50 per cent, in some counties. Considerable concern is expressed regarding the supply of ice and wood, as there- has not been sufficient cold weather and snow to supply ice and allow for transporta­ tion of ice and wood. Down in Glengarry, it was reported that all Toads were open for cars, a condi- dition that had never before prevail­ ed in that section of the country. Peel County states that baby chicks are being hatched now for the early .spring broiler market and that hat­ cherymen are expecting a normal demand for baby chicks this spring. Waterloo County reports that the farm outlook seems more optimistic than for some months, and that there is a tendency for prices of farm, produce to improve. Wclling- don County has increased it alfalfa acreage from 10,000 to 18,000 acres in the last five years and with the jcheap alfalfa seed this year it is ex­ pected '-that more alfalfa than ever before will be sown. Weed Killer Experlmenrs '■ Co-operative trials with chemicals 'weed killers were conducted in 1930 and 1931 by Prof. J. E. Howitt of O. A. C., assisted by Mr. W. M. Gammon. They achieved favour­ able -resuUts, getting a complete kill .in some cases with one application, but with stubborn weeds, two appli­ cations and sometimes three appli- •hnticms were required. Ox-eye daisy, . wild carrot, blue weed and burdock Were killed with one application. Poison, ivy and chicory were some­ times killed with &ns .application, though occasionally new growth ap­ peared. Twitch grass and field bindweed required three applica­ tions, and at least two applications were found necessary to exterminate perennial sow thistle. A study of residual effects showed no marked damage to crops the’ following year. When only two applications were gmade, but three or more proved ftuite injurious to crops in the year after treatment was given. Grow Alfalfa With alfalfa seed cheaper today .•than a long time, this is ..a splen­ did time to grov^wyour own fertilizer jSInce retrenchment is vital, there is ,jio alternative for the farmer, but to .mis© a large proportion of his seeds xrn his own land. He will grow more of his own vegetables, meats •■and. fuel, and many win use alfalfa .and sweet clover to put fresh energy into the soil. Alfalfa can be grown t:bver a. wide range of territory, but The quality of corn for seed, un­ excelled in the history of corn grow­ ing in this province, is now offered the Ontario farmer, states Q. R. Paterson of the Marketing Board. The seed corn standards are be­ ing placed on a higher level this year. Improved selection in the field and more rigid government in­ spection will add further assurance to your choice of Ontario Seed Corn. Ask your dealer to supply you with Ontario Grown Seed. The varieties of Dent and Flint are especially suited to your needs. An abundance of the better varieties of Sweet may be obtained also, from-reliable sources. During years in which the Eur­ opean Corn Borer played a disas­ trous part in curtailing production of corn in 'Ontario, growers of sil­ age and corn fodder in Eastern Can­ ada became more or less dependent on sources other than Ontario for their seed requirements. Much seed, as a consequence, has been imported from other seed producing­ areas. It is a well known fact that, for Canadian conditions, northern- grown seed is superior to that pro­ duced in southern climates. It win not be necessary to import any seed corn for 1932. Registering Growers The Growers’ Markets Council at the present time is asking all fruit and vegetable growers to register ! their acreage under cultivation and the amount of each crop they pro­ duce, Forms are being sent out as widely as possible and any growers who does not receive a copy is ask­ ed to write into the council for one. A concerted effort is to be made to provide next year against any repe­ tition of the disastrous marketing­ season experienced last fall by the growers. So far as fruits and vegetables are concerned, dependable informa­ tion has been available from prac­ tically all producing districts in Canada with the exception of On­ tario. This has resulted in Ontario production always being a most dis­ turbing factor on domestic and ex­ port markets and the net returns to the growers for their production highly unsatisfactory. With this information available, for Ontario, as provided for in the registration forms, an accurate es­ timate Oif Ontario! production can be made and thus closer working facilities can be arranged between all the fruit and vegetable produc­ ing Provinces in order that the greatest possible advantage may be taken of all markets. Registration, will serve many other purposes such as pest and disease control, provide mailing lists for marketing and other information, yet its primary purpose is to enable the Council to know who produces the various var­ ieties of fruits and keep growers in­ formed of opportunities to sell at better prices.

The tables were tasteful­ ly decorated and sumptuously spread for the occasion. Mr. Fred Neil, chairman of the Board of Stewards, acted as toast master. A toast to the United Church of Can­ ada was proposed 'by Mrs. J. L. Amos in a most capable manner and a fitting reply was made by Mr. John Trevethick Sr, As a toast to the bride and groom all sang “For They ar© Jolly Good Fellows” to which Rev. Hagelstein replied in Ills characteristic witty manner. This was. followed by musical numbers consisting of selections by the or­ chestra, solo by Marjory Dixon, duet by Mrs. D. Lewis and Mrs. l. Graven, a reading by Violet Neil and mouth organ selections. Since it was the night of the regular Y.P.S. meeting, the program included two splendid papers by Miss Colquhon and .Mr. Harold Lee. At the con­ clusion of the program, Mr. 'Watson president of the Y.P.'S. read the fol­ lowing address and Rev. and Mrs. Hagelstein were presented with a steamer rug, a woollen blanket, and a linen tablecloth. Rev. and Mrs. Hagelstein: It is our pleasant duty this even­ ing as members of your congrega­ tion to convey to you our hearties: congratulations 'on this the begin­ ning, of what we have all confidence to believe, will- be a bright and happy future. As our pastor, we have always earnest devotion hearty interest ever manifested in our welfare as a people.

We as- ure you that they carry with them our best wishes for many years of happiness. Signed on behal-f of the members of Brinsley United Church. In his reply Rev. Hagelstein in his customary well chosen words thanked the congregation most sin­ cerely assuring them that even though relations would be severed in tihe near future, his good wishes would ever be with the Brinsley people. The remainder of the evening was spent in .music and games which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. * Rev. Hagelsteln, appreciated your to duty and the NO ICE AT GODERICH Not in the memoy of the oldest resident has Lake Huron failed to field its annual natural ice crop, but this season gives promise of be­ ing an exception, unless a prolong­ ed cold spell sets in.
