There is a shortage of hay in a number of counties in thia part of Ontario but this is being offset large ly by other roughage’such as corn, stocks ahd straw supplemented per haps with molasses, so as to winter the stock without hay. There was a fair corn crop last year in most coun ties, which produced a fair quantity •of good silage and besides many farmers have plenty of gram, all of which lessens the need of hay. It is believed that most counties will have sufficient fodder to carry their stock until as least April 1st, at which time there should be a fair demand for hay from outside sources Prices being paid growers, per* ton at principal market centres less the freight costs are: for timothy no. 1, $16 to $17.50; no. 2, $14 to $16; no 3, $12 to $14; wheat straw $7 to $8; oat straw $5.75 to $7,50.

Cleaning Out Couch The eradication of couch grass, otherwise known as quack, twitch or scotch grass, is one of the hard-1 est problems with which the farmer has to deal. Few people realize the enormous quantity of couch grass roots which exist in infested soil. Tests conducted by the Central Ex perimental Farm at Ottawa show weights of roots ranging from 2,531 to 6997 pounds to the acre—as much as a heavy crop of hay. No wonder it is hard to clean out when it spreads by roots as well as seed. Thoroughly cleaning out the roots is the one effective way of getting rid of couch. In small areas this may be done by hand. In larger areas by shallow ploughing and working thoroughly with the cultivator to' keep the roots turned u.p to the sun long enough for them to “kill.” Only as large an. area as can be thoroughly cleaned up at one time should be underataken, as half-way measures are only lost time and effort.
