failure to get the best price on the
market,
Poultry meat is a, perishable pro
duct which will deterioate rapidly
unless properly handled. The market
demand is for properly packed poul
try with good bloom and bright ap
pearance. Good hloom Sis first se
cured by 'proper finishing but is
held after killing by /proper handling
and holding in correct temperature.
Some of the chief essentials in
handling dressed poultry are:
1. iSee that all birds are bled and
plucked properly and that the feet
and the mouth are washed clean.
2. Birds should be hung up by
both feet and allowed to pre-cool for
twenty-four hours. The tempera
ture for pre-cooling should be as
close to 32 degrees as possible.
3. The temperature should be
checked frequently with a thermom
eter.
4. In transporting poultry to as
sembling of selling points it should
be held at the same temperature at
wihich it was pre-cooled.

Fruit Crop Report
IThe apple crop in Ontario is now
estimated at 735,500 barrels, repre
senting a slight increase over the
70i3,500 barrels harvested in 1936.
In Eastern Ontario production is
down 23 per cent, from last year,
and in Western Ontario 28 per cent.
In Eastern Ontario, S-pys, and iStarks
are extremely, light, while McIntosh
Snow, Wealthy and Blenheim have
an average yield. In Western On
tario Spjs show a 38 per cent, de
cline from last year, Starks 7 per
cent, increase, Greenings 22 per cent
increase, Baldwins and McIntosh a
3i5 per cent, increase and other
late varieties a gain of 12 per cent.
Size and colour of apples are con
siderably better this season than
last, but the percentage of “domes
tics” is much higher than in East
ern Ontario due t the prevalence of
scab and sideworm injury in a large
number of orchards. In commercial
orchards in Western Ontario insect
pests and fungus diseases were fairly
well controlled. Movement to storage
has been heavy/ as harvesting has
been rushed and prices are not
quite as firm as a month ago.
■Estimated production of peaches,
plums and pears has been raised
somewhat since the September re
port. The peach crop is now estim
ated at 523,000 bushels, or 30 per
cent greater than last year, and
plums at 56,900' bushels which is 38
per cent greater than last year.
Pears are now estimated at 157,400
bushels as a month ago, and 196,800
bushels in 19i3'6<. Later varieties of
plums, peaches and pears were
generally of better size and quality
than the earlier varities. The grape
crop is reported at 31,378,000 lbs.
which is 4'5 per cent, greater than
the exceptionally small crop of 21,
640,‘000 pounds harvested last year.
Grapes were generally of good size
with the bunches compact. While
there was some poorly coloured
fruit, the average was very good.
Present prices of fruits are gen
erally below last year, particularly
for pears, apples and plums, altho’
pears exported to .Great Britain
brought satisfactory prices. Prices
for basket grapes have been usual
ly variable and following the frost
damage, grapes in bulk tumbled
from $4'5.010 .per ton to. as low as
$20L00.
Growers in Hastings, Northum
berland and Prince Edward Island
counties will receive large cash re
turns from the canning factories for
their crop of tomatoes which was the
largest on record. The yield in this
district was double that of last sea
son, approximately 375 bushels to
tihe acre. The factories in Ontario
were not able to handle all the sup
plies and large quantities were ship
ped to plants in Western- Ontario
where the average yield, on a gent
ly increased acreage, was only 175
bushels per acre.
Increase of Com Borers
General observation during the
cutting and harvesting of the corn
crop of Kent and Essex Counties
has shown that a.n alarming increase
in the number of corn borers has oc
curred, according to Dr. G M. Stir-
rett, in charge of the Dominion En-
otmological laboratories at Chat
ham.
“It is apparent that the infesta
tion is as severe as in the years of
192/7 and 1928.” said Dr. Stirrett,
“Greater application of clean-up
methods will be required of farmers
to insure success to next year’s crop.'
Weather conditions were favorable
to increase of borers this year. Abun
dance of moisture during planting
was a feature noted during the heavy
infestations of ten years ago, and
similiar conditions were prevalent
this year. Essex, it is said, was
particularly hard hit, bot/h by the
borer and poor weather for growing

How Best to Finish Poultry for
Market ,
In crate or pen fattening poultry
for market the greatest gains in
weight are made on the thinner
under-developed birds that ordin-
.arily grade “iC” for fleshing and
fat if sold straight off the range.
Such birds should make steady gains
up to three weeks feeding. If the
birds are in good' shape and reason
ably fat when placed in the crates a
shorter finishing period may be
used.
The average increase in weight in
normal crate feeding should more
than pay for the feed. The increas
ed returns from improvement in
trade in additional profit. Some-
ground gains, such as corn and
wheat, are better .than others but
any grains the farmer may have are
suitable. /Small and unmarketable
potatoes, cooked and mashed, are
economical and add palatability to
any ration. They also help to pro
duce white fat. Milk in any form is
desirable; whey may be used if milk
is not available. Additon of mut
ton. tallow or any other animal fat
to the ration will increase the- pro
portion of fat on the finished car
cass.
In experiments at the Central Ex
perimental Farm, Ottawa, the ad
dition of 5 per cent, ground oyster
shells increased both feed consump
tion and gain by ten per cent. Crate
feedings of capons was also found
to be definitely supeior to- pen fat
tening.
Storing Potatoes
For best results with stored pota
toes, keep the bin temperature be
tween 35 and 40 degrees. During
the first eight or ten days of stor
age however, allow a fairly ihigh
temperature, from 65 to 70 degrees
to hasten the formation of wound
cork-, which is important in healing
bruised and cut potatoes and pre
venting rot. To reduce shrinkage,
keep the bin fairly moist.-Store only
fully mature and sound potatoes.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation
A slatted floor is useful for this pur
pose.
Handling of Poultry
The pre-cooling and proper hand
ling of poultry killed on the farm
or at a packing plant is particularly
important because the bloom will be
quickly lost if the birds are not prd-
cooled without delay and also
handled properly.
Poultry killed on the farm and
sold dressed through local buyers

DRY FABRIC DISCOVERED
Spilling the breakfast coffee in
the la.p does not even wet clothing
treated with a new chemical made
from coal and fat, which’ was exhib
ited at the American Chemical So
ciety in -Rochester, N.Y.
Straight whiskey is different; it
soaks in. But anything made of
water runs off like falling on a
d-u/ck’s back. Then new chemical
is an attempt to find the all-around
water Tepellant”, something which
can be used on all fabrics, and that
will neither- wash out nor be affect
ed by dry (cleaning.
The new stuff does all these, said
DuPont chemists, who exhibited it
It is a new laboratory product, not
ready for market. It has been used
on cotton, wool, silk and rayon.
All of these fabrics become soft
er to the touch when treated with
the coal-fat chemical. It does not
/coat the fabric like paint, but sinks
into the fibres. As a result the goods,
that shed water do some unusual
tricks.
A man sitting down in a pan of
water would get wet to the skin,
but his pants would be dry. Water;
can be squeezed throughi cloth treat
ed with- this solution, but the cloth
remains dry, It takes « hard squeeze
or a lot of weight to force the water
through it.
‘ The water can 'pass- through' the
cloth because the “repellant” leaves
the ordinary openings in the weave
of the cloth unfilled. Water passes
through them, under pressure but
does not soak into the threads as it
goes by.
On a hot day pockets could be fill
ed with ice, and the person inside
would feel the coolness without get
ting wet.
Mtid splashed on these treated
fabrics mostly slides off like water,
with little spotting.
