Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-10-03, Page 6THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 1935 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE Farm News Eradicating Perennial Weeds The roots or perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and field bindweed often penetrates the ground to depths of four and five feet. The roots of .these weeds can send up new shoots when, they are cut off to depths of 18 inches. Deep ploughing, there fore will not eradicate perennial weeds of this type. One method of eradicating deep rooted perennial weeds is to keep down the top growth by frequent cultivation and exhaust the food stored in the roots. Another is to apply a 10 per cent, solution of sodium chlorate at the rate of one gallon per square rod. Finishing Poultry for the Market The general purpose or heavy weight breed of poultry are best suited for crate feeding and best re sults can be expected only when strong, vigorous sturdy type birds are used. Since the markets demand a light coloured skin, those feeds that tend to produce this should be favoured. Fortunately home grown grains are just what are needed. Oats, baTley, buckwneat and wheat are all suitable and are best fed in combination, mixed to a batter with sour milk. Excellent results ‘ may be attained by the feeding .of eleva tor screenings, and that unmarket able potatoes, fed in conjunction with homegrown grains, not only produce economical gains, but flesh of the very highest quality. Buying Feeder Cattle With the abundance of pasture and hay, cattle should be fed this fall and winter fairly resonably. On some farms pasture is going to waste at the present time for lack of cattle Barns are full of hay and hay stacks are plentiful. This is not likely to have much market value except through cattle. Those needing the cattle this fall or winter might ad visedly be e.couting around for ani mals of good conformation and showing feeding qaulities. Good feeder cattle are none to plentiful ; There are too many of the plain, common kind. To delay securing a supply of cattle may result in hav ing to accept the plainer kind. Good cattle that are available are being picked up rapidly. When buying cat tle attention should be paid to the quality, as animals that show some breeding usually make better use of the fed than do the «crubs. Value of Ceritifed Seed Commerical potato growers, whose stoctk is infested with diseases or contains mixed varieties would find it decidedly advantageous to secure certified seed. It is not the chief purpose of the Department of Agri culture to encouragv potato growers to use certified seed with a view to having their crops inspected for cer tifications purposes, because every potato grower has not the necessary patience and time, or suitable loca tion and equipment, for growing cer tified seed. The object of the de partment rather is to have growers use the best seed obtainable for their commercial crop, and help to keep down to a minimum destructive plant diseases, with their resultant serious effect on yields. The use of •certified potato seed on many farms would double the yields now being obtained. Raspberry Planting During the month of September, ot even as late as mid-October, rasp berry canes may be ipianted with as much success as in the early spring before the canes, have budded out. The distance at which the rows and plants are to. be placed depends largely upon the type of training to. be followed. In Eastern Canada two systems are in general use, the hill system and the hedge-row. In the hill system the plants are set at least four by four feet apart, which permits, with care, the use of a single horse cultivator either way. Where land is cheaper and the labor higher, the distance may be increas ed to. seven by seyen feet, permit ting the use of a double cultivator and. eliminating most of the hand hoeing. If the hedge-row system ie adopted, the rows may be placed six feet apart, or wider, and the plants set three feet apart in the row. If the plants are checked in rows so that they all come opposite, a single horse cultivator may be used the first of the season and thus cut down maintenance costs by a considerable amount. Sugar Beet Crop Early in August it became appar ent that the sugar beet crop was suffering from the extremely hot weather and high humidity encoun tered in July. Leaf Spot or "leaf blight" became general during the month and was reported present in every district. This disease, when severe, results in a treduced sugar content and greatly retards root growth. A considerable percentage of the earlier planted fields have produc ed a new set of leaves from the cen tre of the crown. This new growth leads to an extended -crown which must be taken off as "tare," and also causes a lower sugar content. Recent tests on sugar content indi cate from 1% to 2% less than at this same time last year. The crop may improve, however, with cooler weather and bright sunsine, and may yield considerably more sugar than at present indicated. The tonnage estimates- have had to- be revised downward and present indications are for a 10-ton rather than a 12- ton per acer crop. The total yield will therefore approximate 400,00 0 tons as compared with 256,000'tons in 1934. After-Harvest Cultivation For the control of such persistent perennial weeds as Bladder Cam pion, Chicory and any weeds with deep tap roots, deep ploughing is recommended in mid-summer or cul tivation both ways. Roots must be cut off clean and brought to the sur face where the sun will assist in destroying them. The disc harrow is not the most effective implement in the control of weeds of this type. Good ploughing followed, by thor ough cultivation using board shares on the cultivator is essential. The "Dry Cleaning Method" has trol of weeds with creeping root stocks. Included in this class are four well known perennials-—Peren nial sow thistle, Canada thistle, twitch and field bindweed. Immed iately after the crop has been remov ed the field should be ploughed deep enough tp getv under the roots’ turn ing them up to the sun. This will require deep ploughing for Sow Thistle, Canada Thistle and Bind weed and shallow ploughing for twitch. The field should them be left in the rough state as long as dry weather prevails. By this meth od surface soil is separated from sub-soil, moiisture is cut off and the roots which are exposed to the sun are destroyed. The cultvaitor may then be used to, the surface. No green growth should be permitted when fighting perennials. Fields which have been treated in this manner may be ploughed late in the fall and left in the rough over winter or ridged up. This ridging up will as sist the frost in killing any trouts which remain and will permit earl ier spring cultivation. The use of the disc harrow on weeds with creeping rootstocks is not recommended as it will cut the root up into small segments each of which will start a new plant and thus increase the infestation.

THE TYPESETTING MACHINE Deft 'fingers touch the magic keys, and lo! With jingling music, and merry haste, The matrices come tumbling to be placed Like waiting fairies in a rigid row; Then, clamped, they’re smothered in a fiery flow Of molten metal, on whose edge is traced The words the letter-molde have firmly spaced, And now a line of type clinks down below. Then swoops upon the molds the arm of fate And lifts them back to that grim bar on high, Which, aye revolving, ruthlessly se date, Back into that oblivion whence they came, .Seizes and drops them with a tingling sigh Until the keys once more a summons frame. Inland Printer Accident at Khiva One woman was critically hurt and five other occupants of two mo tor cars that collided .on the Grand Bend-Crediton road, in Huron Coun ty, were less seriously injured Sun day afternoon. Mrs. David Geromette, o'f Stephen Township, near Mt. Carmel, is at her home unconscious with a fractured skull and injury. to- her side, suffer ed as she was hurled from the car driven by her son, Norman. The son escaped, with bruises and minor cuts but her husband has a wound in his head that required 16 stitches to close. In the other car, driven by Rus sel Roedding, 1184 Horton Street, London, with his wife and Walter Ramer, 322 Tecumseh avenue, Lon don, as passengers, all the occupants ■suffered shock and bruises but were to be taken to their homes. Roedding was driving west to ward Grand Betid about 1 p.m. as the Ger.omette car came north at the Khiva corner. They met at the in tersection and the impact demolish ed the car driven by young Gero mette, hurling the father and mother as well as the driver, on the road. Roedding’s car was rolled com pletely over down the road, but the passengers remained within and were not seriously hurt. Dr. R. H. Taylor, of Dashwood, was summoned and the Geromettes were taken to their home, not far distant. Mrs. Geromette remained unconscious and has shown no im provement. Mr. Geromette’s injury was alS0‘ regarded as serious. . The accident was investigated by Traffic Officer Lever, of Clinton. No charges were laid but the officer will confer with the crown attorney regarding action. Ottawa—According to a recent re port the salt mines- of Canada not only produce the finest and purest salt in the world, but contain suffi cient quantities to supply the needs of this country for 'hundreds of years to come. Imported salt is declared not as good as Canadian, salt, as it is pack ed under conditions hot as scienti fic as the plants in Canada where no human hands touch the salt from the mines to your table. In the case of iodized salt, which contains a definite, minute quantity of iodine, the quantty .of iodine is approved by the Provincial Board of Health ..of Ontario, whereas im ported salt may have iodine added to it in- a haphazard manner. A stern, liatchet-faced woman en tered the office and inquired for the head of the firm. The junior clerk informed the great man that a lady wished to see him. "Is she good-looking?” asked the boss. "Yes sir, verj- beautiful,” was the reply. ".Show her up". After the lady’s departure, the man remarked to the junior, "A nice judge of beauty you are.” "Well,” returned the youth, ."I thought it might be your wife, sir’’ "So she is!” dryly replied the em ployer. DIED IN MANITOBA Mrs. William Ross, wife of the late William Ross, of Brucefield, who was a brother of Mrs. William Berry, of Brucefield-, and Dr; H. H. Ross, of Seaforth, died in Carberry, Manitoba, recently, the result of a stroke. Her maiden name was Mary Lydia Thompson, aged 79 years. Her husband predeceased her in 1918. One daughter and four sister survive. If there is such a thing as an in national cooking utensil it is the casserole. In Spain, Italy, Latin America and Mexico the dish will be made of earthern-ware and used on top of the stove. Most often it is reddish-brown in color and glazed on the inside. From Japan come the attractive and while bowl-shaped dishes; from America the glass cook ing ware and from Europe the brown yellow and bright colored pottery containers used so much foi’ pud dings. No matter what the material color shape, size or nationality, de licious foods are cooked in the cas serole. What are the advantages of casse role cookery? They are many but perhaps the most important is that the f-cod is served in the., dish in which it is cooked so it comes to the table piping hot. A long, slow cooking is generally indicated so fla vors develop and blend to form something deliciously subtle. A complete meal may be cooked in the one dish and the dish itself be the table decoration. There are casseroles to meet the' need of every family. They range frem the individual service t-o large family sizes. Some have handles and no covers. Some have covers and no handles and some have neither handles nor covers. Select the size, shape and material which you like, then try some of the many good casseroles recipes. Here is one straight from the island of Puerto Rico. This is top-of-stove cookery. ARROZ CON POLLO (Rice with Chicken) Those Splitting Headaches A Symptom, Not a Disease RURDOCK Bloop Bitters The cause of headaches arises from some disturbance of the stomach, liver, bowels or kidneys, and undoubtedly the cause must be removed before permanent relief can be obtained.

A. Makins,, sentences were concurrent. Althoiugh Smith ad mitted trying to escape jail here, a charge was not preferred. The youth will be taken to Lon don, where he will face two' charges of car thefts, also charges of steal ing automobile license plates. It was revealed that a 16-year-old London youth ,arrested at Goderich escaped a police officer at the doors of the jail and eluded the law, after a half-mile foot race. The youth, eince identified as Aubrey Newman, of London, was picked up by London police. He was the companion of Smith when a Goderich car was stolen. It is al leged. Newman will be brought to Goderich to> face charges of obstruct ing an officer and resisting arrest. Prepared Teddy—"Say, are you gding to propose t0‘ my sister tonight?"
