Home My WebLink AboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1935-11-21, Page 2THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1935 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE •One large duck farm in Eastern Canada is planning to ship 2,000 boxe» of ducks to England before the close of navigation at Montreal and to hold them in storage for subsequent sale. Shipments of feeder cattle fyrm Western to Eastern Canada to be fattened under the Dominion Feeder Policy totalled over 2,000 .head for the month o ^September, To drive heme to formers in gen eral the important place of good seed in an agricultural programme requires that a continuous, persis tent, sound, educational pogramme be .arried on over a period of years, said Professor Robert Summevby, of MacDonald College in his presi dential address to the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association. Many of the farmers of Eastern Canada who fed Western lambs dur ing the 1934-35 winter under the Dominian Lamb Feeding project are placing increased repeat orders, in many cases asking foir double the number of lambs they fed a year ago. The applications .particularly from Quebec and Ontario, reflect the abundant supplies of bay, grain, Silage and other crops in Eastern Canada. Canadian Egg Laying Contest The sixteenth Canadian Egg Lay ing Contest, held at the Central Ex perimental Farm, ended on Octobei* 23, having completed its 51 -weeks’ course. The complete results of the year show many excellent perform ances by both the heavy and light breeds. A feature of the contest was the good health of the birds and the absence of infectious and contagious diseases. A total of 107 birds qualified for registration, which corresponds very closely with the total of last year. Egg weights were excellent thro’- o.ut the contest, there being only 12 pens which failed to average 24 oz. to the dozen. The average egg yield peir bird was the highest ever re corded in contests at Ottawa. Ontario Egg Laying Contest ■On Wednesday, October 23, the fifteenth Ontario Egg Laying Con test came to an end after a course ■of 51 weeks. Assisted by the absence of any serious siclkmess or disease, the re cords of the year’s birds are well in advance of those of any previous contest at Ottawa. Production was usually steady, particularly during the middle and last stages of the contest. The average yield per bird was 20.7 eggs higher than that of last year. The number of birds which qualified for registration was 203. or 69 more than last year. Egg weights were very good, 49 pens showing an average of over 24 ounces to the dozen for all eggs laid. The Barred Plymouth Rocks were the most conspicuous breed in the final results . Manure for Hay Crop In order to determine accurate ly the influence of manure on the yield of hay, part of a field of new seeding on a farm in Oxford Coun ty was manured at the rate of 10 tons per acre in the fall of 1934. A marked difference in the vig our and density of growth was no ticed all reason on the manured side as contrasted with the lower, thin ner strand and smaller percentage of legumes in the unmanured ihay. Careful yield tests were taken in 1935, which show that the manured land yielded 27 per cent, more hay than the unmanured. The manur ed hay also surpassed the unmanur ed in protein and mineral content. The aftermath of the top-dressed land came back faster and there were fewer weeds in this hay. Th proiprietoir stated, "I am sold to the idea. We cannot get along without putting some of our manure •on the hay land.” It is a sound practice, especially in mineral deficient areas, to rebe.” Don't Let Those Pesky Pimples Mar Your Complexion inforce (barnyard manure with phos phate, by spreading granulated phosphate on the manure in the stable at the rate of 1 or 2 lbs. per cow >per day. The phosphate re tains much of the nitrogen, which m otherwise lust by evaporation. Electric Soil Heating Electric soil heating for the pro pagation of seeds and promoting plant growth is making headway in Canada. Nearly 200 installations are now being used in the province of Ontario in greenhouses, for propa gating the seeds of tomatoes, cab bage, cauliflower, egg plant, pep- pt. s, cucumberis, melons, certain flowers, r ting cuttings of flowers, evergreens and sprouting sweet po tatoes. The results of electric soil heating are stated to be very satis factory. In the Burlington district the use of under-soil electric heating hasten© the development of plants to set out in the field by about three weeks, and the growers report that ireedom from worry when the wea ther changes is one of the distinct advantages of the isystenr. Plants have much greater root development shorter and thicker stems, and are generally more rugged. During the past season, plants when iset out in the field had less wilt and made quick recovery from it. Lamb Campaign An appreciable benefit to the Canadian .l’armer-sheepbreeder is anticipated from the work being car ried on by the recently-organized Canadian Lamb Committee, which has undertaken to conduct a cam paign to encourage the consumption of fresh Canadian lamb and to in form Canadian housewives of the economical and nutritive advantages and the year-round availability of this type of meat,' according to a statement just issued by the commit tee. The committee consists of W. H. J. Tisdale, Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, chairman; R. W. Wade, Canadian iSheefpbreeders’ As sociation, secretary-treasurer; S. E. Todd, Industrial and Development Council of Canadian Meat Packers, L. E. O’Neil, Live Stock Commis sioner, Ontario Department of Agri culture, and A. A .McMillan, Assoc iate Chief, Live Stock Branch, Dom inion Department of Agriculture, di rectors. The object of the campaign, the statement continues, is to effect a more even (balance between, the pro duction and the consumption of fresh lamb in Canada. Its work has been necessitated because within re cent years the .finishing and mar keting of fresh Canadian lamb have been improved to such an extent that this meat may now be obtained at moderate prices during any month in the year. The majority of housewives, how ever, are still apt to regard fresh lamb as somewhat of a seasonal lux ury and are not fully aware of tihe continuous monthly movement ox the farmer’s product to the retail market, it is claimed in the state ment. Many housewives also do not appreciate the tremendous nutritive value of lamb and its suitability as a. staple meat in the family diet, and the committee is confident that its efforts will be of isufostantial benefit to thousand® of Canadian housewives as well as to thousands of Canadian farmers and sheep breeders. INCREASE IN CRIME •Figures -obtained from records in the magistrate’s court in Goderich, appear to indicate that crime of a raiore serious nature ds on the in crease this year. Although there have been, to date, 23 more cases in the magistrate’s court in 1935 than in 193.4, fines .last year were far in excess of those collected in. same period this year. The figures are: 1934, $3,00 6; 1935 $2,033. On the other hand, jail sentences to date this year total more than last year. Yearly, monthly and day sentences compare as follows: 1934, two years, 60 months, 117 days; 1935, 12 years, 65 months and 99 days. .
