In Dufferin the crop is badly affected with rust and in Grey a°similiar condition has made the yield disappointing. Barley and oats prospects in that district are ex­ ceptionally good. Rust also did much damage in Wellington County, like­ wise in North Simcoe. In the latter county the crop of oats promised to be the best in five years, but a gen­ eral outbreak of smut and army uorm inroads have reduced .pros­ pects to average. Wheat is running up to- 40 bushels to the acre in Brant depending on the winter killing and rust. Haldimand also has a wheat crop running 40 bushels to the acre or better. 'The market for new grain in Lambton is very low, prices quoted being: New wheat 6 4c; bor- ley 42c and oats ,32c. Field corn for silage purposes is looking sp^hn- did in Lincoln and has made tremen­ dous groth recently. Some crops ii; Middlesex have been badly lodged by storms but early threshing re­ turns of wheat and barley indicate good yields of satisfactory quality.

Sows raising 2 litters a year naturally require more feed than those raising only one, but if early spring and fall litters can be acco­ modated, the average cost of rearing pigs to weaning age will be lower if two litters pei’ year are raised. Market hogs make faster gains when confirmed to a pen, but sow pigs which are to be reserved for breeding, should be given good pas­ ture to ensure good vigorous breed­ ers. They should be fed liberally to ensure satisfactory growth when they are on pasture, but if their yard is small and the gilts get only a lim­ ited amount of exercise, heavy ing should be avoided.

The crown is often down six to twelve inches in the soil and this explains the difficulty in cutting it off with the plow and the need of deep plowing followed by a stiff­ toothed cultivator with wide shares which overlap. Roots and root stalks brought to the surface will not survive but any portion left in the soil with a bud attached, will produce a new plant. Thorough cul­ tivation will eradicate Bladder Cam­ pion in cutivated areas. Chemical weed killers is the only practical so­ lution if the weed is pevalent eutivation impossible.

Anyone who has the good fortune tp travel across Canada can hardly escape two vivid impressions: the magnitude of this Dominion, auJ the great variety of its scenery and oc­ cupations, And Ontario with its traditions and tidy farms, the great wastes of rock in Northern Ontario rich in mineral deposits, the straight and limitless prairies, the rolling foothill country, and the deep cut gorges and lofty peaks of the Rockies present a vast and varied panorama, With each varied circumstnees of life it is only to be expected that folk should develop somewhat different characteristics and points of view, yet each group makes its tfwn con­ tribution and 'Our common life is richer for the variety. Between west and east there should be frank and full understanding and complete co­ operation in building a united com­ mon wealth.

The exercise obtained in grazing also contributes in no small measure to the general health of the breeding stock, with consequent benedicial results at farrowing time. (Sows raising only one litter per year need but little grain after the pigs are weaned, if good pastures are provided.

A. Carroll, Manager of this annual agricultural event, the greatest plowing match not only in the British Empire, but in the entire world, ; Last year the attendance was over 100,000 at the four-day event and this record, it is expected, will ,b®| shattered this year. The dates October 11th to 14th inclusive. “There is no doubt” states Carrdfcl, “that the invitation Of Ontario Plowmen’s Association accepted by His Excellency because of his genuine interest in all phases of agriculture and particularly good plowing and fine horses.” Scotland, the birthplace of Lord Tjveedsmulr, is rich in plowing lore, and her sons, well-skilled in the art have transplanted a desire for good cultivation in every part of tish Empire, particularly where for over 100 years matches have been held. “While there may be 70 modern and'powerful tractors in op­ eration on a busy day, double that amount, about 140 competitors, will use good strong reliable and well- groomed horses, the icream of the pioiwng teams in Canada. “A Horse Show is a special feature of Match” elates ilr, Carroll. are Mr. the was the Bri- Ganada, plowing •Hern, Margaret—Anc.

FORD^<OTEIS LOCATID ► RASY MODERN* nntmof ► HOHLS MILES OF BINDER TWINE Stratford Beacon-Herald Every so often a reporter is bound to go berserk—or a little daffy, if you prefer to put it that way. Which probably accounts for this one at­ tempting to figure out in approxi­ mate tons and miles the amount of twine it will take to bind the grain crops in Perth and Huron this sum­ mer.To the individual farmer _ binder twine may not be such a big item as farm expenses go, but when you be­ gin figuring out how much it takes to bind the crops in the two counties it makes your heart swyn. You don’t get up into the miliums of feet, for instance. That’s child’s play. You get up into the hundreds of million^ Believe it or not, but all the twine to be used by Perth and Huron farm­ ers to bind their wheat, oats, barley and mixed grain were placed end to end, it would go around the equator nearly six times. 'Or something like 139,000 miles. Taking it for granted that the acreage planted for these four crops was the same this year in the two counties as it was last year, there were approximately 40 8,000 acres planted. Then, for the sake of sim­ plicity, let it be estimated that three pounds of twine is required for every acre, Naturally, that estimate is somewhat too high, but the figure is much easier to work with than getting into the decimal points. That means that 1,224,000 pounds (612) tons of twine was used alto­ gether -fat the 408,000 acres. Figuring 600 feet to the pound it Would mean that 734>400,000 feet Of twine will be used, and when you* divide that by 6,'2.80, it | 139,000 mijes. Enough to J the world almost six times.

As pne farmer expressed it a few days ago: ‘‘It was a lovely field of wheat, but haii came and in five minutes it was all gone.” The On- taria farmer with his dairy herd and his variety of crops can scarce­ ly understand the uncertainty of the western farmer -where spring grain is the one source of income. I un­ derstand also, that the present ad­ ministration has done away with municipal hail insurance which used, to be a great help. I was very much impressed a few days ago in driving to the westward by the beauty of the wildflowers >on the roadside. One does not notice them along the main highways but along some of the other roads there is a blaze of solour.
