Jam Marketing; Scheme For Canada A proposed scheme for the regula­ tion of the marketing of jams, jellies and marmalades produced ana mar­ keted within the Dominion of Cana­ da, has been submitted to the Domin­ ion Marketing Board. The scheme Jias been reviewed by the Board and is still subject to amendment. Copies of the scheme may be had frem the Secretary, Dominion Marketing Bd. at Ottawa, to whom representations may. be made concerning it. As the situation with respect t-o the marketing ef jam is .one that re­ quires immediate action, any repre­ sentations will have to be made with­ out delay, , ' half acre of greens if the proper amount of green feed during rm? winter months is provided. As soon as moisture is available tp germin­ ate rye, oats or wheat, the planting of either ones or all three of these grains to furnish greens W the lay­ ing hens during the -fall and winter months is advisable. -Green feed is high in vitamins, minerals and proteins, three essential nutrients of a poultry ration, ana it serves as a conditioner as well well as being high in nutrients, other one thing will pay as large vidends for the amount -of money- vested afs an adequate acreage green feed for the poultry flock. as No dl- in- of Hay Council The -regular monthly meeting -of the Council of the Township -of Hay was held in the Town Hall, Zuricn, on Monday, March 4, with all -the members present. The minutes tof tht> last regular meeting and the special meeting held on February 2nd were •read and adopted. After disposing m the communications, the folllowinsr resolutions were passed: Moved by George Armstrong, seconded by Max Turnbull, that Clarence Haters be appointed Road Commissioner for the police village -of Zurich for 1935. Moved by Edmund Walper, seconded by Geo. Armstrong that the Treas­ urer be authorized to issue cheque pay 'for Russell ECt- Geo. 1935, Road the damp found in close up winter Foul Air Checks Laying One -of the reasons many pullets fail to lay well during the winter, in spite of good feeding, is and stagnant air to be many poultry houses. Many poultry keepers nearly all ventilators when approaches, under the impression that the fowls need the warmtn. Fresh air is far more important than warmth, and many batches of pullets that fail to come into production at the proper age are suffering from this mistaken idea. Birds so affected may not suffer from disease, though they are very liable to e-olds, but they fail to reach laying conditions, and by the time the error is discovered by the poultry keeper the egg market has generally broken. The best time to test the air in a poultry house is first thing in tne morning. Alfalfa Seed Supply The alfalfa seed supply in Canada is now regarded as no mo-re than suf­ ficient for seed requirements tins coming spring, being somewhat smaller than was formerly expected, In -Ontario the 1934 seed crop was lighter than normal. Much -of the seed was lacking in plumpness and weight owing to insufficient rain­ fall during the filling season. This was true particularly of seed saved -from the second cutting. It is fortunate, however, that tne supply of Canadian grown alfalfa seed for this spring is sufficient to a normal acreage. Alfalfa is be­ coming more and more popular as a i’anm crop and has saved the hay sit­ uation on many farms drought would have caused a serious hay shortage if other clovers and grasses had been the only hay crops. Until quite recent years the only areas in Ontario where it was grown extensively were a few of the south­ western counties. It is now com­ mon through-out the province and if only hardy seed is used it may nr counted upon to thrive in almost any cultivable area in Canada where the soil has sufficient lime content and where good drainage is also provid­ ed. Most of the alfalfa now grown m Canada is either of the Ontario Var­ iegated or Grimm variety, the two outstanding hardy varieties which have made alfalfa production in Canada both extensive and profit­ able. Repair of Machinery Careful repairing -of tillage mach­ inery each winter o-r early spring with replacements of d-oubtful -or worn parts has been proven to pay large dividends by preventing major costly repairs. Tillage implements generally’’ receive Jess care and more hard knocks than any other class of frm machinery. The value of any implement can only be measured by its usefulness in acres covered, quality of work done and freedom from the necessity of costly repairs and delays. Delays due to breakdowns during the rush tillage season of spring and summer are costly and easily prevented if tne farmer, with a few tools and a little time, will cheek over carefully every working or wearing part long before he is going to use the machine. Check over every man-chine care­ fully for loose, worn o-r stripped bolts replace broken spring washers and check' over all loose or slack parts. Wheel and power lift bearings, disk boxings and all moving parts should be adjusted for wear. Clean all working parts of old grease, oil, dirt and steel particles with kero­ sene and replace with plenty of >fiesh lubricants. Current Farm Conditions Reports from Dufferin County state that feed is the limiting factor so far as the condition of livestock- is concerned. There is a. large per­ centage of livestock in that district, however, being carried along in fair flesh ’and they will be turned on grass in good condition. Many* farm­ ers there are feeding cattle for mar­ ket. A recent largely-attended sate, in Grey County brought forth prices $45 for grade for well, is a it is cows ana horses; implements Home mixing of live topic in Haldi- expected that a good done fertilizer decrease.

Hay dealers are offering $12.50 to $13. for baled hay. In North Simcoe there is sufficient hay and grain to meet, local this spring, will need to through the timothy cr clover hay, loose, is sell­ ing at $16.00 a ton in that district.

Their cause should be sought for and, when found, treatment should be directed towards the cause, not the symp­ tom. However, whatever thev cause, you Will find in B.B.B. a remedy to work in such a way that the headaches will eventually disap­ pear and you should not be furthot troubled with them. Western Canada is still “a next- year country” and Premier James G. Gardiner -of Saskatchewan, an Us- bo-rne Old Boy, was full of -optimism for the future of the Prairies when he addressed the Empire Club at a luncheon in the Royal York Hotei, Toronto, -on Saturday. He scoffed at the suggestion of moving people out of the drought area of Saskatchewan, “where more than half of all the wheat produced in Canada during good times is grown,” and demonstrated“ that it would only be necessary for these same people to grow three good crops to liquidate their entire debt and have $200,000,000 left to play with. Mr. Gardiner also poked fun at such schemes as tree planting and irrigations projects, to “alter climatic -conditions,” “There are only two ways in which you could change the climate,” he said, “either tear down the Rocky Mountains or make the world rotate in the opposite direc­ tion on its axis. The one solution,” he maintained, • “is to keep the people on the land who have lived there and possess the experience of the last forty or fifty years.” ( Blood Bitters FEElJ SCARCE Not in many years lias farmers feed been so scarce in this district as it is this spring, due to partial fail­ ure of last year’s crop in townships along the shore -of Lake Huron. This is particularly true of hay and straw In Goderich, Qolborne and Ashfield Townships in Huron County, the ma­ jority of mows are bare and farmers have been forced to purchase else­ where. Hay is selling at $18.00 a ton, the highest in 15 years. The straw year was ishort and a scarcity foreseen months ago. The situation with regard to grains and roots is better, but have to be fed sparingly to last until the grazing season rolls around.
