A. Carroll, secretary­ manager of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association, under whose auspices the famous match is held each year, following a meeting of the committee in charge of arrangements for the huge event. It is also announced that, due to the tremendous enthusiasm of the local committee at Fergus and be­ cause of the steadily increasing in­ terest exhibited each year by plow- men-competitors and spectators, the prize list this year will total nearly $5,000, considerably in excess of pre­ vious years’ purses. uA. Care of Chicks and Layers Males that are being saved for breeding purposes should not be al­ lowed just to shift for themselves. It is best to keep these young males in a yard or on a range where they do not pullets reduce among these youn; good plan to keep some of the older males with those that are being held over from last season’s breed­ ing pens. These old males will act more or less as policemen among these youngsters and will be a big help to prevent fighting. It is a good plan, on cockerel ranges, to have sev­ eral .roosts about 3 ft. high as re­ fuges for males that are chased by other males from time to time. A growing mash should be kept before these birds all the time, as it is kept before the pullets, and they should be fed regularly each day on a grain ration to help them develop suffic­ ient body weight. Fresh water and green food are also as desirable them as for growing pullets. Garden abundant situations, hiding soil, and tihey feed chiefly on the under-surfaces of the leaves of beans, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower and such like plants. They rasp off the epidermis of the leaves and where the infestation is heavy severe injury is ocasioned. Like all other pests, these animals can be more easily ' controlled if remedial measures are applied when they are small and few in number. Accordingly, the amateur gardener and the commer­ cial growers whose crops are jbeing attacked should give the matter im­ mediate attention. In Eastern Canada, the slugs are controlled by dusting the infested plants with hydrated lime in the ev­ ening after tihe sun has gone down and the feeding commenced, Care should be taken to cover the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves and the soil immediately surrounding the plants. Hydrated lime is effective only when in the form of a light dry powder. If it becomes hard when subjected to moisture, it is non-in- jurious to the slugs. ‘Consequently a few light applications of the lime at intervals of three or four days is much more effective than one Heavy dose. Another method recommend­ ed is to spray the plants with Bor­ deaux mixture. production showed a small decline. The early crop of potatoes in South­ ern Ontario presented a healthy appearance with vigorous, well- developed plants and satisfactory yields. The second early crop shows plenty of top growth and has a good set. The late crop is coming on well in most parts of the province. Potash in Agriculture Potash is one of the three sential elements of fertiliy’’-— rogen, phospheric acid and potash. These elements have received appellation not because they are more essential to tihe growth crops than the other nine or elements entering 'into the composi­ tion of plant tissues, but because they are the three which must be constantly returned to the soil if its productiveness is to be maintained under our ordinary systems cf farm­ ing, which, as we know, entail the removal and sale of at least a por­ tion of our crops. Of these three elements, potash is the more widely distributed and less frequently deficient in soils than nitrogen and phosphoric acid and may be considered the important from the standpoint necessity of application. Clay as a rule are well supplied potash and seldom respond profit­ ably to a application of a special potassic fertilizer. Indeed, upon heavy clays such an application may depress the yield by bringing about an unfavourable condition of tilth. It is more particularly sandy and gravelly loams, limestone soils and soils rich in vegetable matter such as mucks and peaty loams, which are poor in potash and upon which this element may be expected give a profitable return. Again, it is not all crops, that for potassic manuring. On staple cereal crops, wheat and oats, potash seldom gives a remunerative return, save on the lightest and driest soils. Barley, for malting purposes, is to some extent an ex­ ception among cereals, responding profitably manures and particularly so sandy soils. attending conference at EDMONTON Rev, E, Gomann, of Milverton, Rev.

Means for lessening this danger, ad­ vised by animal husbandry experts, include; Never turn a cow out on al­ falfa pasture on an empty stomach; give a small feed o dry hay before turning out; have a supply of water available in or near the pasture at all times; don’t turn the cows out onto a freshly irrigated pasture, or a Current Crop Reports The yield per acre of alfalfa, ihay and clover, will range from normal to above normal in Central and Southwestern Ontario. In Eastern Ontario the per acre yield will be be­ low normal and in Northern Ontario considerably below normal. Kenora Manitoulin, Nipissing and Temiskam- ing report the yield 50% below av­ erage due to winter killing and heavy losses of new seedings during the past two summers, As a result the total production of hay and clovei’ is expected to be somewhat below nor­ mal. Cutting of hay and clover generally ranged from five to ten days later tihan first cuttings of al­ falfa. Wet weather interfered great­ ly with haying operations in parts of Southern Ontario. The acreage of new seedings has made excellent growth in Old Ontario, but only fair to rather unsatisfactory development in Northern Ontario due to dry wea­ ther. The condition of pasture through­ out Ontario was reported at a condi­ tion figure of 103 on the first of July, as compared with 92 a month earlier and 94 on July 1st, 193 6. In Northern and Eastern Ontario the condition figure was 10(3, in Western Ontario LO'4, .and in Southern Ontario 100. Livestock have made good gains with milk flow at a high level.

After’ information telling of' size, location, numbers of lots which the town was built, etc. comes the following; “The first sale of lots took place in 1826.

It is built of frame, two stories high and 40 feet wide by 60 feet in length; a barn of the same dimensions was erected on the premises.

Reports from that country that .unemployment has fallen the peak of 3 0 per cent, in June, 19 32, to 8.4 .per cent, which is most the normal rate. The financial position <of Commonwealth shows a marked provement. In twelve months fund maintained in London to meet debt and other commitments has been increased by $50,000,000. Bank deposits total $1,535,0'00,000 (a record) and they exceed ad­ vances by $228,650,000. Australian railways are making money. In ithe case of the Victor­ ian system, return on capital earn­ ed during the past year was 3.2 per cent. That is better than the rail­ ways in either England or ed States earned during period. To the British investor is ace high. How, with a population -consid­ erably smaller than Canada, has the Commonwealth achieved this position? The answer is that she did not wait for the return of prosperity to cure her ills. In the depths of the depression she took drastic measures to straighten out her financial tangles. Her economics cut deep. She readjusted her debt in co-op­ eration with her debtors, not by repudiation. Her taxpayers had to dig farther into their pockets. They had as­ surances that the results would be worth it. And their .faith would seem to have been justified. Australia may not be entirely clear of the woods, but she is farther out of them than Canada. .So far as this Dominion is con­ cerned, the one policy our success­ ive governments had been able to apply to such crippling problems as the railway sinkhole and the top- heavy administrative set-up is that of “waiting for the return of pros­ perity.’’ Relative prosperity is here, hut it doesn’t seem to have done much in the way of reducing the deficits. Nor will it. With immigration shut is no likelihood .of there or 50 million people to spread the burden of taxation and debt in time for this or the next generation to share the easement. The simple fact is that, prosper- expenditures have got to be cut ity or no prosperity, the country’s until they are within the capacity of eleven million people .to carry.
