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. Farm News 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 ImSpox-tant Dates November 16 to 24—'Royal Winter Fair, Toronto.

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.

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. Taken to Dxdxxk Ainos Tash: “Guess Til have to pen up my goat.
