There is still -some seed in north­ western Ontario in the Oxdrift ujid Emo districts, possibly 13,000 lbs. of red clover, 55,000 pounds of al- sike and some mixtures.

Johnston of the Smithsonian In­ stitution. He had conducted an ex­ periment in which he said wheat pro­ duced better by feeding it large quantities of carbon dioxide, a com­ mon constituent of air. The experi­ ment showed wheat plants -which re­ ceived about four times as much car­ bon dioxide as is normally present in air produced more and -heavier heads, more .grains, and heavier straw than plants grown in air alone Market For Toronto Hon. Duncan Marshall, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, has an­ nounced a committee headed by Paul Fisher of Burlington, an official of the Ontario Vegetable Growers’ As­ sociation, is investigating his pro­ posal for a $1,000,000 wholesale fruit and vegetable market in Tor­ onto. Mr. Fisher visited Montreal and Detroit, to Ihs'pect similiar markets and presented the Minister with an interim report. After a full report has been made Mr. Marshall will call a meeting of growers in the latter part of Febru­ ary to .go further into the. proposal. The plan is to have this market near the water-front in Toronto and vide under one roof growers disposing of fruit. Mr. Marshall said the main poblem connected with the project was one of finance, and at that time he indicated the Provincial Government would not likely make a contribution. The corn growers of (Southwestern Ontario are viewing with more or less alarm the amount of corn still standing and the absence of clean­ up measures in some fields that should have been instituted last fall in order to control the corn borer. The borer has not been so prevalent the past two or three years, but it has by no means been eliminated, and there were enough borers in the corn last fall to create a real men­ ace to the crop next year if the weattier should be favorable at the time the moths are emerging. At a meeting of the Ontario Corn Growers’ Association the following resolution was endorsed; it is the considered opinion of Ontario Corn Growers’ that control measures as ed by those in charge of istration of the Act are factors in the control of the corn borer we respectively ask that mun­ icipal and county councils in the corn growning area urge the ratepay­ ers to make every effort to effect a highly satisfactory cleanup of the large 19 35 crop, an unusually large percentage of which remained stand­ ing as winter approached. With this in mind we (would further recom­ mend that the country corn borer inspectors commence activities im­ mediately and' by so doing render valuable service to the individual grower and to the farmers of (South­ western Ontario generally.

There has been a steady growth in the number of entries in the pl-owing match since it was organized in 1913. This growth in t-he num­ ber of entries has been paralleled by a corresponding increase in at­ tendance. For the first two years, the match was held at Sunnybrook Farm, Toronto, with 32 and 29 en­ tries, respectively. By 1919, when the contest was -held at Chatham, and tractor competitions were in­ troduced, the number had risen to 90, while two years later at Wood- stock it jumped to 216. When the competition was held at Stratford in 1930 there were 439 entrants, and last year at Haldi- mand County, near Caledonia, there were 5 44. J Clover and Grass Seeds Breeding Trouble Following long winters with snow as this iwinter promises to be, a great deal of trouble is usually ex­ perienced with hairlessness in young pigs, goitre in calves and lambs and joint ills in foals. It is suggested that these troubles may be traced to a. lack of iodine in the thyoid gland of the pregnant female, and losses from this cause may be avoid­ ed by feeding iodine, in the form of potassium iodide. Potassium iodide has a generally stimulating effect, toning up the whole system, and exerts a particu­ larly strong influence on the gener­ ative organs. Females which are apparently non-breeders will often become pregnant after this drug, has been administered for a few months. For cows, dissolve two ounces of potassium, iodide in a cup of luke warm water; springle this solution over 100 pounds of salt spread even­ ly and in a dhin layer on a clean floor, and mix well. When the salt is dry, place it in a box where the aimals have free access to it. For ewes, follow the same method as for cows. For sows, dissolve one ounce of potassium iodide -crystals in one gallon of water, and mix one table- spoonfuL per sow daily in the feed or drinking water. For mares, give each mare a half teaspoonful of po­ tassium- iodide in the feed grain water on the first and -fifteenth each month. deep or of Some Folks Go South But-... Most of us stay home and face winter with (whatever comfort and pleasure we can manage, Outwitting winter on its own damp or icy field is a game that calls for wisdom, courage and endurance. Fortunate­ ly the rules of .the struggle allow us to use all the weapons that we can device. We fortify ourselves 'Within heated buildings, for the most part, but are forced into frequent hand to hand encounters in which we must depend upon the amour of warm clothes and the -heat of our bodies to overcome the rigors of cold wea­ ther. A dwelling can be bought for a life time; fuel foi* heating it and clothes to wear, at least for a season but food must be supplied daily, In the long run man’s chief defense against cold is a healthy body. Win­ ter meals must give us t-he fuel we need for heat as well as work and the materials we need for building and maintaining good health. We call these essentials carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins and "bulk” and you will find them in these recipes to sisting menus.

There is still available in eastern Ontario seme 350,000 pounds of red clover, 250,000 of alfalfa, .50,000 of alsike, 300,000 of sweet clover and 2,000,- 000 pounds of timothy in principal production localities. Alsike is in particularly good, demand at the present time with little available and read clover are in stronger de­ mand at present than alfalfa and sweet clover, Prices to growers based on clean­ ing to No. 1 grade range from 10c to 15c for red clover; 10c to 13-c for alfalfa and- 3Be to 5c for timothy. Most of the good alsike -has already been sold and that remaining is sell­ ing at from 10c to 15c per pound. In south-western -Ontario timothy is* plenitful but mostly of the lower grades due to off colour and ing. Some 4,000,000 pounds estimated in this part of the an6e. The alfalfa and alsike ■nearly all moved to the trade, clover is being threshed steadily and is in fair demand. Prices paid growers based on cleaning to no. 1 -grades range from 10c to 12c per pound for red clover 14c to 16c for alfalfa; 12c to 15c for alsike; 3c to 4 l-2c for timothy and 3 l-2c to 4c for country run Canadian blue grass. 2 cups thick corn- 1 meal mush salted 2 cup cooked chicken, chopped 1 tbsp, melted shortening butter % tsp. sale Dash of cayenne Combine all ingredients except the diluted egg mixture and corn flake crumbs.

The hen house must be dry, light free from drafts and not crowded. If the ventilators are correct there will be an absence of foul odours or frost on the walls and veiling and yet they must remove the excess mois­ ture from the pen, provide fresh air and do so without producing drafts. It is necessary to control the flow of air in house in order to keep it -comfortable, and conserve the heat given off by the birds. If it is clos­ ed up too .tight the inside will be­ come damp and frosty; if the reverse is the case, and the- ventilators are left -wide open, the warm air rises and escapes and is replaced by cold aiiy in which case the house will be cold, and1 the- birds will consume more feed to keep warm, and less will be available for egg production, No hard and fast rule can be given regarding location and type ventilat­ ing system as su'cQi are controlled by existing conditions, but if the above essentials are taken into considera­ tion good. results will be obtained, ,t Apple Bran Muffins 2 tbsps shortening B tsp. salt % cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup all-bran % cup milk 1 cup flour Cream’- shortening and sugar thor­ oughly; add egg and beat until very creamy.
