The trap crop should "be cut low about the end of the first week in August, when all borer eggs have been laid and should be remov­ ed and fed to live stock. ■with crop Weed Control ■Careful and thorough cultivation, a short rotation of .crops using van­ ities of grain suitable to the soil will solve the weed problem, stated Ar­ thur H. Martin, assistant director, Crops and Markets Branch, in a re­ cent address to weed inspectors. Mr, Martin recommended more extensive use of early after-harvest icultivation summer fallow as a means of clean­ ing up weedy fields. Practical farm­ ers have found that sow thistle and similiar perennial weeds can be con­ trolled by cutting hay earlier than' usual, plowing the land immediately afterwards, and follow up with thor­ ough cultivation during the remain­ ing part of the season. Fall wheat, buckwheat, rape and all hoed'crops are effective in controlling sow thistle. The latter gets its greatest start in oats and other spring grains. As a protection to productive farm land, road superintendents and city, town and village weed inspectors are urged to keep all weeds cut on road­ sides, vacant lots and other urban property. Valuable work in stimu­ lating interest in weed control is be­ ing done by Mr. A. R. G- Smith, of New Hamburg, district weed inspect­ or of Western Ontario, who. has ad­ dressed numerous meetings this spring. 745 Vespers-—Reverend E, W, Fdwarda, M-A>> B.D., Tavistock.

THE HOGARTH BABY CHICK HATCHERY EXETER, ONTARIO PHONE 184w CM0 family A greatly increased demand for fertilizers for the 1932 crop season is re-ported, much of the business be­ ing done on a credit sales basis. Thus it is apparent that, the Department’s policy of promoting the use of fer­ tilizers is bearing fruit. The use of •fertilizers is farming has passed the ■experimental stage in Ontario and thousands of farmers are finding them a practical aid in reducing the cost of production through increas­ ing soil efficiency. When used ju- 4di/ciK>usI'y they increase' yield and' improve quality of crops, adding ^materially to the cash value of pro­ duction from a .given area. It has "become increasingly important to- Reducing Crop Costs The ever present problem' the farmer is how to reduce costs. This can be done in two ob­ vious ways: first, producing more at the same costs; and second, pro­ ducing the same at a lower cost. Perhaps the most important me­ thod of reducing the cost of produc­ ing crops is to increase the yield. Most of the items incurred in the cost of producing crops are the same, whether the crop is large or small, so that every effort should be made to produce large yields by the adop­ tion of all better farming practices. Another method of reducing the cost of production is the use of larg­ er machinery and more labor saving equipment. Considerable improve­ ment has been .made in recent years in the introduction of larger and bet­ ter. machinery, making possible the elimination of considerable manual labor. Where the farm is large enough to warrant' the purchase of such machinery, this method consti­ tutes an effective means of reducing costs. The substitution of more profitable crops is another advan­ tage which may be derived from cost of production studies. Rufus, did you go to your lodge meeting last night?” "Noh, suli.

GRANTON COUPLE WED FIFTY YEARS With members of their home for the’occasion, Mr. and Mrs. Youngson, of Granton, celebrated their golden wedding. The couple were married at the home of the ■bride’s parents, eighth line of Blan- shard Township, on May 7', 1882, by Rev. John Fotheringham, father of the bride. Until 18 months ago all of their married life had been spent in Blan- shard, wnen they moved to Granton to live retired. .

SHINGLES No. 1 xxxxx Edge Grain Out they go at per bunch LUMBER PRICES DOWN ALSO Poultry—A FARM ASSET Official records show ithat poultry population of Ganada doubled each ten years during period of the past thirty years. Each succeeding period of low prices for farm produce finds the poultry flock coming to the farmer’s rescue. At the present time it can easily be shown that the poultry flock proper­ ly fed-; housed, and looked after is, from the standpoint of capital in­ vestment and feed cost, one of the best paying lines of farm effort. Each succeeding year appears to make it more clear that the farm is the logical place for the develop­ ment of the poultry industry with respect to both egg duction. ‘The farm ful medium for the otherwise unsaleable form of eggs and Banks and loan companies find the farm which has a poultry flock a much better risk than the one which has none. and meat pro­ flock is a use­ marketing of products in the poultry meat. Agricultural Limestone Agricultural limestone, because of its relatively low cost, is of times overlooked in the well planned soils program of the up-to-date farmer. In three sections and regions of the province where acid or sour soils are found, and where difficulty is exper­ ienced in obtaining stands of alfalfa and red clover, limestone may be used to good advantage in correcting this condition and as a consequence not only making more available the inherent supply of plant food in the soil, but in addition providing a more satisfactory medium in which the purchased plant foods in commercial fertilizers may act. It improves the physical condition of many heavy soils. - Worked into the top layer!? of the soil it helps prevent that sticky, plastic condition found in wet seasons. It aids drainage. It also produces a condition in which im­ portant forms of bacteria do their w-orlk most efficiently. The time to apply limestone is when it is most convenient to do> so . It is applied usually in the late fall oi- early spring on land that is to be sown to spring grain and seed­ ed down. Very often applications are made to meadows and pastures. It is not advisable to apply limestone to land that is to be plowed shortly afterward. From one to two tons per acre, depending on the acidity of the soil and the degree of fineness of the limestone, should be applied. This may be done by spreading with a shovel or by use of a limestone spreader. (The latter method is of course more efficient than the form­ er. Inexpensive spreaders are ob­ tainable and lighten the work in con­ nection with the actual operation of application. A. J. CLATWORTHY Phone 12 GRANTON.
