With the object .of checking the spread of some of the more trouble­ some weeds already established, and of preventing the introduction into 'Canada of bad weeds from other countries, a “prohibited list” of weeds has been included in a recent division of the regulations under the Seeds Act, and it is now unlaw­ ful to sell in Canada any seed con­ taining the seeds of “prohibited weeds.” This ‘‘prohibited list” as at pres­ ent constituted includes Field bind­ weed, Dodder, Johnson grass, Hoary cress, Leafy spurge and Russian knauweed. Field bindweed and Dod­ der are already established in Can­ ada but infestations are limited to particular localities. The other weeds •of the known only a “prohibited list,” if at .all in Canada, are present to slight extent. Crop Summary Latest reports from representa- ties show that the winter feed situ­ ation is less favourable than a year ago. The total ‘'production' of -oats, barley, ^jusilg wheat and mixed grains^ is estimated at 112,392,00'0 or 19% below the figure of 138,000,000 bushels harvested a year ago. The yield of hay and clover crops and corn for fodder is placed at 8,608,000 tons as compar­ ed with 9,941,000 tons in 1935, a ■decline of 13 %. Root crops are slightly higher. Feed supplies are very unevenly distributed this sea­ son and vary widely from farm to farm, as well as from one section of the province to another. With the excellent pasturage available this fall, most counties will likely get through the winter with their pres­ ent supplies of roughage, but con­ siderable quantities of grain will have to be purchased. With present prices of beef cattle and hogs at lower levels than twelve months ago, farmers will find it necessary to change their feeding habits or reduce livestock numbers rather than purchase grains for feed which have advanced from 50 to 75 per cent, in price during the last few months. Farmers have re­ stricted their purchase of feeder cattle this fall and shortage of grain and 'higher prices have already re­ sulted in the marketing .of a large number ;of sows, some even heavy in pig. Fall sow breedings are ex­ pected to show a reduction from | last year. The value of field crop deduction in 'Ontario, notwithstanding a de­ crease in volume of output, will be ^higher than last year owing to the B. C. Shingles Youth Program aj Royal The 15th annual Royal Winter Fail' will be formally opened tn No­ vember 18th by the Dominion Min­ ister of Agriculture, the Honourable James G. Gardiner. This is the tri­ bute of the offical head of agricul­ ture in Canada to the special aim oi the Royal this year to demonstrate the economic importance of agricul­ ture in a prosperous Dominion and to emphasize the place or youth as the -country’s future farmers, The comprehensive title, "Youth in Agriculture,” more than a slogan is an expression of the spirit that will animate the whole of this year's Fair. Numerous boys’ and girls’ contests are to be featured, includ­ ing an oratorical contest for youths —the “voice of youth” speaking for youth. Arrangements have been made ■fqr all students at the Ontario Agri­ cultural College of Guelph, Kempt- ville and Ridgetown to attend this Fair. In addition, an extensive plan is being completed to bring in­ to ‘Toronto on onp of the eight Fair days, groups of young people, and, with the co-operation of the Depart­ ment of Education, pupils of colleg­ iate institutes and high schools -with­ in bus-ride distance, roughly outlin­ ed by a circle around Niagara Falls Orangeville, Lindsay and Cobourg. Over l,'500 country boys are to be “on parade” in the arena during the opening of the Horse .Show. T.o stress the “future farmer” idea, a group of 5 0 students from the Ontario Agricultural College, in natty uniforms, under a superinten­ dent, will act in the cattle barn as model livestockmen. By directing special attention to scrupulous cleanliness and hygiene in the stalls it is hoped to make the magnificent cattle barns still more attractive to a larger number of the general pub­ lic.
