This is soil is distinctly addition of lime During the summer of 1935, a test of different fertilizers was made on beans on the farm of Mr, L, Birk, Dashwood- Beans has been an im portant cash crop on this farm for some years. The soil is clay loam, neutral or alkaline in reaction. The best feiljlizer for beans is a debated question, the results of the 19-35 tests were as follows; Yield in Bus. i>er acre « ’ " ................... T ■■ ......

These yields indicate that bean field requires emphasis on po tash and nitrogen was applied, but spouse was found natural, since the alkaline and the could give no assistance. The question of application ot fertilizer for beans is one of great importance. If the concentrated salts of fertilizers fall too close to the seed beans, it frequently injures their vitality by drawing the mois ture out of the seed. Provision should, therefore, be made for the seed to be seperated from the fertil izers by at least an inch of fertilizer free soil. Beans remove relatively large amounts of nitrogen and po tash from the soil. Being legumes, they naturally return some of the nitrogen to the soil, of good' quality ibeans are vested, there must be a supply of available plant Birk’s neighbors will be to learn of the results of this bean test.

A working model of a large type passenger engine, constructed' on the scale of one inch to one foot, is the work of Alfred Walker, 137 McKay avenue, Windsor, Ontario, a machin ist in the M. O. R. shops in that city. 1 Mr. Walker spent five years in completing the model, which oper ates under a steam pressure of 49 pounds. All the work on the model was done by hand in his workshop in the basement of his home. The model engine is complete in every detail, being an exact prototype of the steel giants which haul the fast passenger trains. » The model is equipped with such details as two injectors, which actu ally draw water from the tank in the tender and force it into the boiler; a “bulldog’’ scoop, which is lowered! into the track tank so that the en gine can replenish its water supply while speeding along the rails; com monwealth trucks on the tender,1 which make for easy riding. The boiler is fitted with steam gauges and a water glass. The water is heated by means of a gas flame. While 40 pounds of steam are requir- ed to operate the engine, officials at the roundhouse had 60 pounds regis-i terin g at a trial test. The water IM carried in 18 flues, which are of th® arch type. | Mr. Walker made the model with out the use of blue prints, taking the actual measurements from the engine in the shops, and then working off: thorn in his spore time. The model weighs about 25® pounds, whereas the full sixe loeonao- ttve weighs well over 100 tons. Exeter; Mr. and Mrs. M. Whalen; Mr. and Mrs. T. Winchelsea and Mr. and Brock spent New Years (Sugar beets have been an. impor tant crop on the farms of certain sections of Huron County for several years past. The yields have not al ways been as ' satisfactory as the growers have wished. This has ibeen due to many factors, important among which, is the supply of well balanced, available plantfood at the time the crop needs it. As a gen eral rule, the use of has been discouraged tendency to produce Many Huron farmers fields reckoned to be in a high state of fertility, but in many cases the yields have not been kept up. Much fertilizer has 'been used with vary ing results, hence, the question arose; "What is the best fertilizer for Sugar Beets?” To get at some definite information on this pro blem, the Department of -Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural1 College, in co operation with the Huron office of the Department of Agriculture, lo cated some tests on the farm of, Mr. D, Hodgson, near Centralia, where three types of fertilizers were test ed. The "soil of this farm is a silty clay loam. The prevailing system of rotation and the soil is given good preparation; The results are as follows: Treatment, 0; yield 10.10 tons. Treatment 2-12-6; yield 13.25 tons; gain 3.15 tons per acre. Treatment 2-12-10; yield 13.9.8 tons; gain 3.88 tons per acre, yield 1-2.43 tons; acre. The fertilizers the rate of 250 at the time the beets were gown. A similiar test was conducted on Mr* Hodgson’s farm last year and the results were very closely parallel to those of 1935. The figures are as follows; Year 1934; No treatment, 10.8 tons; 241(2-6, 13.20 tons; 2-16-6, 12.60 tons; 2-12-10, 14.30 tons. Year 1935; No treatment, 10.10 tons; 2-12-6, 13.23 tons; 2-16-6, 12.4-3 tons; 2-12-10, 13.98 tons. (The above figures are in tons per acre.) These results indicate fairly clear ly that Mr. Hodgson’s soil requires a generous amount of potash in ad dition to a fairly high amount of phosphorous. Mr. Hodgson’s tests for the past two years have aroused considerable local interest.
