It is used extensively as range ox* as cut green feed for birds in confinement during the spring, summer and fall months in most alfalfa-growing areas, but the value of fhe hay as a winter feed is not so generally known. So> much of the year’s success depends on the num­ ber and quality of chicks hatched each spring, that it is important to do all possible to increase the fer­ tility and hatchability of the eggs and the livability of the chicks. Ex­ periments have shown that 20 per* cent, better’ hatchability of fertile eggs can be obtained from birds where alfalfa hay instead of straw is used as litter in the breeding pens The alfalfa should be used as litter during the winter months proceed­ ing the breeding season and the same treatment given to males and females.

EASTER SUNDAY LATEST IN THE PAST 13 YEARS on the out and The Index Number pro- impor- * The level of prices of farm [ducts is a mattex* of great i portance to- the people of Canada, jit affects the purchasing power of the largest single group of the pop­ ulations and thereby limits the mar­ ket fox’ large quantities of industrial goods. Ixx comparing prices over a period of time, it is rather difficult •to establish exact relationship. Therefore, statisticians use a device known as an index number. ’.This number represents the relative posi­ tion of prices at a given time, as compared with those in a period when conditions were fairly stable and prices of the different groups of eoxnmodities occupied a reasonab­ ly satisfactory relationship. Fox* in­ stance, prices in the year 1926 have beexi used by many statistician as a period on which to base itihe compar­ isons v?ith othei’ years. In 1929 the index of field crops (grain and veg­ etable products) was 94 compared with 100 in 1926. In 1932 (the in­ dex had dropped to 41 and ito 35 in January, 1933. ever, 1934 Easter Sunday this year falls the latest date on which it has occur­ red in at least the past 13 years, and it is possibly the latest over a period of many years. Falling on April 2'1, ■the Easter parade of spring garments will come a full month after spring is officially here. Easter can never fall latex* than around 35 days after the spring equi­ nox, and this year, only a few days separate Easter from the latest date on which it can ccane under any cir- cumetances, Eastei’ (Sunday is the first Sun­ day after the first full xnoon which follbws the spring equinox. Records available show that in 1930. Easter was on April 20. Be­ fore that, as far back as 1932, the Eastex" week-end came much eamlier in the year.

SCOUTING SEEN AS PROMOTING WORLD PEACE During 1933, how- the index rose to 46, and in Tanged between 48 and 61. Little change is reported in the seed situation in Eastern Ontario. Seed is continually moving from lo­ calities in the Ottawa valley where available and consists, mainly of red clover and timothy. Only a small quantity of timothy seed remains to be marketed and most of this is held by growers for local sale. Timothy seed prices remain firm at 14c. to 16c per pound. Red clover seed grow­ ers now being pai,d 19c. to 21c.^.per pound, basis no. 2 grade. Alfalfa seed is moving rather slowly on ac­ count of that remaining for sale be­ ing mostly of poor quality. It is expected, however, that in the coun­ ties- of Russell and Carleton, where most of the present crop was grown it will find a ready local market later in the season. No. 1 Alfalfa is be­ ing bought at 18e. per pound­ in south-western Ontario, the ’34 crop of clover and grass seeds was unusually small and practically sold out more than a month ago. That remaining is largely of the poorer qualities and small lots held for lo­ cal sale. Prices being paid growers basis no. 1 grade, range from 18c. to 23c. for red clover; 18c. to 20c. for alfalfa; 30c. to 28c. for alsike; 5c. to 6|c. for sweet clover; 17c. to 18c. for timothy and 16c. to 20c. for Canada blue grass. ■ Shingles! Barley Crop Important Barley competes very strongly with wheat ias a revenue producer on Ontario farms. This grain holds an important place for several reasons. It .is a comparatively higher yielder, Experixnents show that mixed with early oats returns from the combin­ ation exceed highest yields obtain­ able from either grain separately. Also, ixx analyses, it is shown that in carbonhydrates and protein, bar­ ley compares very favorably with field corn. Barley is also the north country corn. In northern counties, where early frosts render’ the grow­ ing season too short tor the produc­ tion of .large of large crops of corn, barley is found to be in excellent substitute. It grows rapidly and is the shallowest rooted of all the cereals. Because of these two points, barley does best of all cereals on ground which is insufficiently, drained and hence is cold and backward in spring. In recent experiments by the Department of Chemistry, O.A.C., it was noted that the highest yields of barley were realized where it fol­ lowed <a root crop. The department’s experiments with fertilizer on bar­ ley, showing a big increase in- yield where fertilizers were used, are im­ portant in view of the fact that this provihee acres of last year sowed 508,000 barley.

Odette, Ontario -Liquor Con­ trol Commissioner, has been notified from Ottawa that the Dominion Gov­ ernment has decided to submit a stat­ ed case to the Supreme Court of Canada to determine whether the re­ strictive measures of the tyiquor Con­ trol Act are sufficient to warrant the suspension of the Canada Temperance Act in Counties of Perth, Huron and Peel, according to a despatch in the daily papers of Wednesday. Under Prohibition, the Canada 'Temperance Act was, suspended in these counties because our restrictive provisions were regarded as more stringent than those of the .Scott Act. Then when Liquor control first came in, it wag considered the re-stric- txens were sufficient and .the Canada Temperance Act was not restored. With present conditions there has been much discussion. The 'Liquor Control Board has , gone in the assumption the -suspen­ sion was ample to permit opening of stores and warehouses in parts ■ of these counties. The Dominion Government, in re­ sponse to representations by prohibi­ tion organizations, has decided to have the question settled by the Su­ preme Court.

'_'‘ New Pontiac Six Joins Eight for 1935 The feeding of potatoes to live stock provides a very satisfactory, outlet for the lowex* grades of the crop. Second-grade potatoes may be used as a feed for hogs and also in limited amounts for cattle, sheep and horses as a substitute for gi'ain. For pigs the potatoes should be boil­ ed, mixed with the grain and fed with other concentrates. A protein supplement needs .to be feed with this. Experiments indicate that it takes aout 420 pounds of potatoes, fed after cooking, to equal 100 lbs. of corn or barley. For the best re­ sults in swine feeding the p.ropor- FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY A. J.
