Hopkins, Farm, Ottawa, on cul- CAR® OF LAYERS IN WINTEB Following two years of work as­ sembling facts .concerning the use of fertilizer, the Ontario Advisory Fer­ tilizer Board, following its annual meeting in Toronto recetly, announc­ ed that it was now prepared to semble and publish its. findings recommendations. It is planned .publish the findings and recommc ations in time- foi* spring work this year. These recommendations, ar­ rived at through study of experimen­ tal and esearch work carried on for a nirniibe of years thoughout Can­ ada, and taking into consideration all soil and climate conditions will co­ ver the use of fertilizer, both com­ mercial and farm, for the following crops: cereals, hay and pasture; fruit and vegetables, roots and po- taoes, muckland crops, sugar beets, corn and tobacco. Dr. Robert Harcourt, O.A.C., of Guelph, is the chairman of the board which was organized two years ago. Its membership is made up of .pro­ vincial and Dominion field crop ex­ perts, representatives of the various growers’ organizations, and repre­ sentatives of the commercial fertil- ixer tradj?. G. R. Paterson, Walk­ erton, Ont., is the secretary. as- and to tn ti­ Reference was macle by the secretary to the Farm tions and the An address Experimental tural implements gave the results of various- experiments that not only proved interesting but somewhat of a surprise to some who were present. Dr. E. S. Archibald, speaking of the noon luncheon, claimed that soil cultivation was fundamental to get­ ting a crop and to weed and plant control. There is a wide variation in the soil in the 9 million acres of arable land in Ontario and this must be studied in order to adapt differ- eren't crops to the different types of soil. Soil changes come about ow­ ing to continued cropping, claimed the speaker, and this has given rise to certain- cropping difficulties. Care of soil is- not just in turning a fancy furrow, said Dr. Archibald, but in so handling it that after extracting a living the soil or better than serration and of soil is very Christie and others spoke in glowing terms of the 1935 match and of value ploughing matches were t'he agricultural and industrial I of the country. The annual meeting was- presided over by J. Lockie Wilson, who, in his own inimitable style, told of the growth and development during the past 26 years of the Ploughmen’s Association, may be left us good at the start. Con- intelligent handling important. Dr. G. I- the to life Agricultural Societies The annual convention of the Ag­ ricultural Societies, held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, early this month, brought together represent­ atives from all parts of the Province to discuss quetions of mutual inter­ est. In the arranging of the pro­ gram, ample time was given for dis-, cussion In these discussions many points were cleared up. Time was also allowed for the (Secretaries of fairs to hold a session. George E. Foster, Honeywood, was in the chair and in. his presidential address reviewed some of the accom­ plishments of the Agricultural So­ cieties and referred to special fea­ tures at different fairs. Secretary J. A. Carroll gave a detailed report of the year’s activi­ ties. There are 315 active Agricul­ tural Societies in Ontario and 297 held a fair; 10'1 of these reported an increase in gate receipts over the previous year. Last year 66 regular field crop competitions were conducted and in addition 10 combined competitions in barley. During the year three seed- cleaning plants were operated by Agricultural Societies. Several Societies maintain pure-bred sires and .grants were paid for the main­ tenance of one stallion, 27 boars, 68 bulls and 10 rams. Our Society had a competition for the best managed farm. In Bruce and Grey the Soci­ eties are offering a service in secur­ ing reliable fruit trees and other So­ cieties are behind the work on ani­ mal .parasite control. Perth Shorthorn Champion Comes to Ontario Ontario Sheep Breeders Discuss Lamb Identification -Sheep breeders in large numbers attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Sheep Breeders Association, presided over by E. Robson, Den- field. Long and inconclusive dis­ cussion took place- on identification of lambs. A year ago the Canadian Association decided on identification tags bearing registered breeder let­ ters allotted by Canadian Live Stock Records, as private ear tags were not .entirely satisfactory to our friends across the line who import a lot of our lambs for breeding pur­ poses. There was a wide diversion of opinion expressed at the meeting held by the Ontario .Association and the matter directors io mendation sociatiop. The breeders present heard the ■wool outlook for 193 6 discussed by Geo. E. O’Brien and prospects are brighter than in the past, although substantial increases in price may not be expected. W. H. J.

The secretary, J, A. Carroll, reported 80 branches active in 1935 and 70 senior matches were held. There was keen interest in junior activities and demonstra­ tions for young farmers were held at 26 points. Homo plowing com­ petitions were -conducted in thirteen counties and eight junior matches were held. Matches and demonstra­ tions have been staged at a number of points in Northern Ontario, At the International plowing Match at Caledonia there was a record entry df 544 and the number of people wiho visited the Match was estimated by the president to be over 100,900. The world’s greatest Shorthorn sale was held recently at Perth in Scotland, where the best specimens of the breed attracted buyers from all parts of the world, and particu­ larly t'he Argentine. The- United States and Canada have been frequent buyers at this sale, and -on this occasion the Hon. Duncan Marshall purchased for the Ontario Agricultural Champion Bull of the “Millhills Ransom” guineas, -which is 300 last year’s top price. The purchase of “Millhills Ran­ som” will not cost the provincial Treasury; anything. Some weeks ago the Hon. Mr. Mar­ shall decided to -solicit the aid and support of a number of outstanding business men; each of whom sub­ scribed very substantial sums of money for this purpose. Among the contributors are: Sir J-oseph Flavelle, Mrs. J. S. McLean for the Canada Packers, Colonel H. Magee for the T. Eaton Company’, Mr. C. L. Burton for the Robert Simpson Company, Mr. Jos. E. At­ kinson of the Toronto Star, and Mr. J. H. Tapley for the Swift Canadian Co. A number Oif contributions to the purchasing fund have .been made in Scotland by Scotsmen interested in the promotion of live stock, and great interest has been shown by Canadian business men supporting this venture. Hon. Mr. Marshall has received many congratualtion-s upon the or­ ganization- of such a scheme. In addition to “Millhills Ransom” an outstanding Aderdeen Angus bull a roven sire, bred at Harviestoun,. from Templetohs of Sandy Knowe, was purchased. There are very few outstanding Shorthorn sires in Ontario and none as good as 'breeders would like. This bull at the Ontario Agricul­ tural College will be available to breeders in the Province for limited use and it is hoped that in this way more rapid stock improvement can be promised by the breeding of good sires in a number of herds. The Hon. Mr. Marshall cables that the bulls he has secured will be a wonderful addition to the Shorthorns in Ontario. The jfirst sire purchased 'by the lion. Mr. Marshall for the Ontario Agricultural College was the Clydes­ dale Stalilon “Craigie Realization” — a horse that has “realized” to the full all the’-expectations of him. Choice Aberdeen Angus females have been purchased, also a very good hull, and a high-class Hereford bull has been secured to head the h ei d. ■Some good Ayrsliires and Hol- steins, together with the addition of some jerseys, will be secured for the school at Kempbville. A Dairy Shorthorn herd of excel­ lent animials has been procured for the farm at New Liskeard. An Ayrshire bull, the gift of the Hon. Senator Frank O’Connor, is now at Guelph, and it is the inten­ tion, of the Minister to improve the dairy breeds already, at the College. Outstanding speciments of various breeds of sheep, now used for class room purposes, will be purchased in the near future. The reserve Junior Champion Per- Cheron mare at last year’s Royal Winter Fair, was purchased and shipped to Kemptville, and two good specimens of this brood will be, pur­ chased for the Ontario Agricultural College. „ “Breed Better Live Stock” is the agricultural slogan in Ontario these days, College the sale. brought 2900 guineas below “What is your age?” asked the magistrate. “Twenty-one ycers and some months,” replied the women witter "Just many months?

Where milk is available it may be used liberally, except in cases where other animal proteins are being fed, and in those cases milk! would be much the safer form to use, for it keeps the flock in good condition without the forcing effort of some of the low-grade pro­ teins. A small hopper of bone meal and a hopper of rolled-oats should also be available where a lot of milk" is used.
