Weekly Crop Report Bruce County reports fall wheat to have come through the winter ■well, although showing some brown ing on top. Quite a percentage of ■clover in Elgin, particularly sweet -clover, has heaved badly. About 25 jper cent, of cheese factories are arunning in Frontenac.

Sev eral southern counties report sales ©f dairy cattle to United States at good prices. Preparation for spring work is. the order of business on •most farms at present. All machinery is being repaired, with purchases of new equipment at a minimum. Eight carloads of agricultural lime stone were brought into Peel County in. the past year.

Care of Hatching Eggs This is the time of the year when the farmer with a good poultry flock finds hatching eggs in big de mand. Too much care can not be exercised in culling eggs which are intended for hatching use. a me tal bucket should not be used be cause the slightest contact with a hard, surface may cause a check or crack in the shell. Straw or burlap gives protection. There should be plenty of nests available to the hens, from 12 to 15 nests per .10'0 birds. When culled, hatching eggs should be kept in a cool room. Germ growth starts at a temperature of 69 degrees and the room in which the eggs are kept until delivered to the hatchery should not be more than 50 to 60' degrees. Eggs should be delivered to the hatchery as soon after they are collected ais possible. (JoRective pit rchasing The question of ’farm supplies should be attacked from a commun ity standpoint, according to George R. Paterson ing Board, lem in one other, since terprise common to a community varies. The dairy farmer purchases commodities that differ from what is a common buying practice of the fruit grower, The poultryman’s needs differ from the mixed farmer and so on, z The first essential step to be taken by a Purchasing association is a sur vey of the situation. If the farmers in the community served by the As sociation are purchasing too many feeds that should be grown at home and if the variety of feed purchased steps should be taken to rectify this condition. Dairy farmers in a com munity should strive to grow those feeds than can best be grown home and which will best suit dairy high should effort. a program of this good, but if clovers and other le gumes require to be aided' in their abundant .growth by drainage, im proved tillage and possibly a soil corrective then steps may be taken collectively through the purchasing association to provide the, materials required to affect the change. Then the supplementary feeds should be made to be uniform in type. Fruit and. vegetable growers have a variety of opinions on systems of fertilization and disease control. The best authorities on these 'subjects can readily be consulted and collec tive purchasing made exceedingly simple if sprays- and fertilizer for mulae are standardized more" than they are at present. ■ In working out a program of this ■kind it may-well be borne in mind that through efficient collective pur chase one of the heavy items of cost ■of production is pared to the bone ■and the margin of profit enlarged. Lastly, credit or the financing of ■collective purchases must be sound. ■The organization or individual who ■pays cash has immediately cut the ■cost of production.
