That Montreal and Quebec mar­ kets are prepared to pay a premium for the red varieties of Ontario- grown onions, is proved by the fact that in both these cities tne red var­ ieties are selling for 50 to 75 cents a hundred higher than the yellow. Don’t Want Fat Hogs It is p*arttcularly difficult in these days of lots of feed and low prices to get farmers to realize that the market .does not want a fat hog, at least pot a hog of the fatted type so popular a decade or so ago. The hog that takes the premium today is the select bacon type, which is, com­ paratively speaking, a lean hog that weighs from 180> to 220 pounds Oft cars at stockyards. Such hogs have a jowl and shoulder light and smooth a back from peck to tail evenly fleshed, a side long dropping straight from the back, a belly showing thick ness of fleshing, a Hank well let down and firm, a ham full, and a good general finish with rm excess fat. The best way to understand -the type of hog-that gets the dollar; premium is to visit a stockyard or1 a shipment consists of more than one car. Mr. Fulton -observes that the amount of money lost to the shippers through m^t using counter marks has been tremendous in past years. A separate bill Of lading for each carload would greatly faciliate distribution at U. K, ports. Figures furnished by Mr. Fulton reveal that the British market imported 7,60'0,- 949 cwt. of apples in 193? as com­ pared with 4,001,134 cwt. in 1921 and 1,830,210 cwt. in 1901. This reveals the potentialities of the Bri­ tish mai’ket for absorbing the apple exports of Ontario.

Ontario Heavy Winner International Show produ'Cr at Ontario“The showing made by farmers at the International Hay and Grain Show, Chicago,” said Arthur j H. Martin, Agriculture, preparation being made for 1 World’s Grain Shiow, to <be • held in Regina in 1933. “With the judging of grain and small seeds still incomplete, exhib­ itors from Ontario have captured, al­ ready, two championships and two reserve championships. “R. S. Lee, of Chatsworth, GTey County, was awarded the grand championship in field peas, -on a splendid sample of the small yellow variety. “The second championship .goes , issued its’sixth .crop report of the 1 season, covering yields of field crops of Ontario. Fall Wheat yield per acre is now placed at 2i8.4 bushels as compared with the preliminary figure of 30.1 bushels and the esti­ mate of oats has been reduced from 33.5 to 32.9 bushels per acre.

In. spite of the fact that the tur­ key meat originated in the Western provinces, this constitutes good news for the Ontario producer, inasmuch as local markets will be 'relieved to that extent. Greater Care Needled At the concluding session of the Eastern Ontario Cheesemakers’ Con­ vention D. B. Shutt, bacteriologist O. A. C., spoke on the further elim- in sum- that ination of cheese defects. ming up, Mr. Shutt declared there should be greater care in the steaming and cleansing of cans and I utensils. He submitted the t follow­ ing reolutions for 1933: No. 1— Every’milk can, and if possible, all farm utensils, should be brought tc to the factory before opening day to be washed, steamed and inspected Repairs should be made at the fac­ tory. No. 2—Steaming, of all tons should be conducted at the factory at least once a week. No. 3-—Occa­ sional cans for surplus milk should be seamed at the factory before be­ ing used. No. 4—-Pasteurization of whey. No. 5—In severe outbreaks of fruity or nottled cheese raise the >•' p^sitfetirtiiation temperature of the whey. No. 6—Strict sanitation in factory equipment. Yield of oats was cut down in South­ ern Ontario' due to unfavorable weather at seeding time and in other sections, oats are light in weight due to too much rain and heat while filling. Total production of both beans and potatoes is much' under last year. The acreage lof po­ tatoes was reduced 7 per cent, this year, but the yield per acre showed a drastic reduction. iDry rot has been prevalent, many fields showing as high as 50 per cent. rot. Late “crops such as sugar beets turnip, mangolds, corn and buck­ wheat benefitted from favorable, growing weather during the fall and yields were very good. Tire corn­ borer was worse than for some year Hay and clover *crops yielded well except in the east where growth was checked by midsummer drought and rains came too late to prevent dam­ age to hay and crops, but in time for corn and grain. Pastures are in ex­ cellent shape and livestock is going into the stables in good condition. Farmer-s generally sowed far wheat later this year to avoid the danger of Hessian fly. Though hav­ ing less top than last year, it is very healthy and goes into the winter in ■ good shape. Prices received for the crops are generally less than a yeai ago, although potatoes and beans are above last year. The total value of the chief field crops was $114,- 073,40i8 for 1932 as compared with $125,2^1,100 for 1931.

HODGINS BURIED ’ After a short illness John S. gins, age 84, died in Victoria Hos­ pital, London. For the greater part, of his life deceased was a resident of London Township, where he was born. In 1889 Tie went to Strathroy and there-carried on a grocery bus­ iness for 25 years. After this he came back to the homestead in Lon- ron 'Township and farmed for years. Deceased then retired io live in Lucan. His wife, who was Miss Alunna Guest, died five years ago Surviving are one son, Burton, at home, and a daughter, Mrs. Wililam Huggins, Toledo, Ohio. 'The funer­ al took place on 'Saturday to' British Apple Market Mr. Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit representative, in a recent report states that the prospects for good quality Ontario apples in the United Kingdom continue satisfactory. He emphasizes that it is important that documents such as 'Certificates of Origin and the specifications of the shipment should reach him ahead of the shipments to- which they refer; also that counter marks dn each barrel ate absolutely necessary when AS YOU MAKE IT To the preacher, life’s a sermon.
