This is ■smallest carry-over since July 1928. file 31, Will Grow Lima Beaus Lima Elgin A fairly large acreage of beans will be grown in East for canning factory use, according to reports received at the St. Thom as office of the Department. Pro duction tests have been made in both East and West Elgin during the three years, and satisfactory yields of Lima beans reported. The aver age yield is 1,300 to to 1,500 lbs, to the acre. The acreage of soy beans is the county will be small. Reports received at the Experi mental Farm, Ottawa, indicate that chicks are not hatching as plentiful as usual this spring. Hatches as low as 0 per cent, of the total eggs are reported, while 20 per cent, and 25 per cent, hatches are not uncommon. This condition seems to be fairly general through-out the whole of Canada. These poor hatches, along with the late season, may have a decided effect upon egg production next winter. Buyers should be ad vised to buy late chicks with cau tion because experiments have shown that fore chicks that cannot mature bc- wiuter are a poor investment, are now found, in every county. Some counties reported Sow Thistle to be spreading while others main tained it is decreasing. One township reported a decrease of 35 per cent*.

B’Oth these weeds grow rapid ly after cutting and many road au thorities felt that they would have to resort to chemicals to destroy roadside weeds. Due to the anxiety of the aver age farmer to secure the highest pos sible yield per acre this year, Mr. J. A. Carroll, chief of Weed Adminis tration in Ontario, predicts marked ( progress in Weed Control during1 the growing season of 1932* Plan Your Program Now is the time to plan next win ter’s feeding program, not next win ter. At this time, farmers can es timate whether they will be short of hay and succulent roughage be fore next spring comes around. There is still time to sow annual mixture of oats and peas. Both of these crops give high ' yields, and high feeding value. An extra acre of corn for silage might be valuable. Seed, corn, this year, is not only reasonable in price, but is of exceed ingly high quality. A few extra tons of high protein, hay, and a well- filled silo, will be of considerable assistance in next winter. The Apple Maggot According to a recent statement by Chas. W. Bauer, secretary On tario Grower’s Markets Council, Hamilton, about half the a:pple or chards in Ontario are inected with the apple maggot. The infestation in the main is slight, but there are some heavily-diseased orchards in some counties. Mr. Andrew Fulton, advised that Britain will place an embargo on all early fruits of apples if maggot is found in one shipment. This danger necessitates growers taking every practical measure to eliminate the insect from all com mercial orchards at least. They are urged to spray thoroughly for con trol of these pests. NEW WELL AT GODERICH It is expected a new contract be let shortly for the sinking of a new well at the property of the Goderich Salt Company. The Com pany has been working all winter with their full staff of seventy-five and in order to keep up with business a new well is needed. will the Better New Advisory Board reducing the feed bill Farm Practices In spite of shortage of everywhere in Ontario are using this year more careful and -thorough farm practices than ever before. Seed merchants report that they have never had such a demand for high class seeds. All available sup plies of alfalfa, alsike, red clover, wheat, barley, oats, buckwheat and peas have been purchased and peas have been purchased and sown on Ontario farms. Strange to say there has been an unprecedented de mand for registered grain. Hardware merchants report a wonderful sale of screening materials for fanning mills. Druggists greatly increased sales of Formalin for treating grain for smut. Seed cleaning plant oper ators report heavy increases in busi ness. These facts all indicate that the average farmer is not only taking advantage of low prices but is do ing his part toward meeting de pressed prices. He is doing every thing possible to increase his yield the depression and ready .cash the farmers Hon. Thomas L.

Weekly Crop Report Heavy rains has assured moisture in practically every part of' Ontario. Crops are looking splendid. Fjall wheat, clover and •alfalfa are making excellent growth. The apple bloom is very heavy in most orchard districts, and a con siderable increase is shown over the province in the number of orchards being sprayed. Farmers are coming to realize that they must either spray or cut down their orchards al together. A ample Many Poor Patches i B. C. SHINGLES of plums, which is more than twice the annual production of Canada. At present the greater proportion of these plums comes from European countries. In Mr. Fulton’s opinion there is no reason why Ontario should not capture a large portion of this trade. On the (basis of prices received .in recent years, the On tario grower Would receive prices ranging from 35 cents- to 80 cents per 11-quart basket at shipping ipoint. The Ontario varieties that have given the best satisfaction have been Grand Duke, Greengage, and Reineclaude. In anticipation of meeting this demand, growers should thin their plums this sum mer, if the crop is heavy, Mr. Ful ton advises.

Founded in 1892 by the late Honorable Petei* Larkin, the busi ness progressed very rapidly and by 1895 a branch had been opened in Montreal. Two years later the United States market was invaded and an office opened in Buffalo. To day, three of the largest and finest warehouses in the world, devoted ex clusively to the packing of tea, stand as a memorial to the founder—locat ed in Toronto, Montreal, and in Bos ton (the scene of the memorable tea party which precipitated the Revol utionary War.) The Canadian market was then controlled by China and japan teas —the largest sale being China tea of poor quality. These teas were being sold from chests, exposed to air, dust, dampness, foreign odours, and so forth, all detrimental to the quality of tea. In England, which was, and still is, the greatest tea drinking country in the world, Cey lon and Indian teas of fine quality had practically displaced China teas, and it occurred to Larkin that Cana dians also would prefer these finer teas. He, consequently, introduced a Ceylon and Indian blend to this Continent. He then conceived the idea Of packing it in metal packages, in order that it would reach the con sumer intact, with its flavor and quality unimpaired by dampness, store odours, etc., This step revolu tionized the tea market on this Con tinent. He sought a name for his product and decided on “SALADA” which Was the? name of an old Indian tea garden. All that was left now was to tell the public about it. He wisely decided that the quickest and cheap est way to do this was by means of the newspapers. The result was so gratifying that he continued to use the newspapers as his chief adver tising vehicle from that day. Ho strove always to give the pub lic the finest quality tea he could at the price and then advertise it for all he was worth. His achievement is the largest selling package tea in North America. slats’ diary Friday—they was two tokos mov ed in up at the uther end of the St. a.nd sum of the neibors | diddent feel real that they marryed to each other but last nite they seen her throwing a skillet and a vase at him so now their Dou bts are gone for the time bean.
