Current Crop Report
Halton County Reports livestock in
excellent condition though many of
the farmers state that pasture con
ditions are below normal. There will
be considerable red clover seed for
sale in the Halton area. Huron Coun
ty reports new seeding a promising
stand of both clovers and grasses.
Both McIntosh and Spys are produc
ing an over average yield in Huron
with excellent size and colour. Roots
are an exceptionally good crop in
Perth. A carload of Southdown
rams was shipped from Brant coun
ty to United .States. Haldimand farm
ers have completed sowing of fall
wheat and harvesting of the corn
crop. iLambton reports the land dry
and hard for plowing, but fall work
is being rapidly completed, The win
eries have purchased a large share of
the grape crop in the Lambton area.
Carloads of grapes have been shipped
from Lincoln to other points in On
tario, the Maritimes and the West.
There has been an excellent demand
for grapes by the basket. A number of
loads of finished cattle have been
moving from Middlesex, the best net
price being $5.50 per cwt. Silo-filling
operations have been general

Response of Crops to Manure
in
Another experiment that has been
running for a shorter time seems to
indicate that commercial fertilizers
will give as good results on grain as
on hay.
It would appear then that the most
satisfactory results will be obtained
from as plying the manure on the
hay crop, and the commercial fertil
izers on the grain crops.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Devine was the scene of a pretty
autumn wedding on Saturday, Oc-
other 1st when the Rev. D. J. Glad
man united in marriage their only
daughter Elda Mae, to Elgin Adams,
son of Mrs. Adams and the late
Frank Adams. The bride entered
the liying room on the arm of her
father to the strains of the Lohen
grin Bridal Chorus played by Mrs.
Russel Webb and took her place be
fore an arch of autumn leaves bank
ed high at the back with autumn
flowers. The bride looked charming
in a dress of rust velvet fashioned
on simple lines with long sleeves and
brilliant ornament, with accessories
to match. She carved a bouquet of
roses and ferns. The bride was at
tended by her cousin Miss Olive Wal-

Something to be Thankful
Injuries Fatal to
Mitchell Citizen
As the result of injuries suffered
two weeks ago in a fall down stairs
at a home in Staffa where she had
‘ been visiting, Mrs. Maria Webb, of
. Mitchell, life-long resident of Perth
, County died in tha- General Hospital
' Stratford on Friday. Mrs. Webb,
who had been blind for the past fif*
' teen years was visiting at the home
! of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Bowman in
Staffa when she suffered the acci-
, dent. Before this time, although in
. her 70th year, Mrs. Webb had been
enjoying good health.
Born in Hibbert Township, she was
formerly Miss Maria Neal, daughter
Of the late Mr, and Mrs. Thomas
Neal. She spent her girlhood in Hib
bert and then went to Mitchell, where
for fifteen, years’she was the head
milliner in the store of Isaac Hord.
Later she went to Toronto and upon
hei* return to Hibbert Township, she
married Samuel Webb, who died in
1934. They resided together in Hib
bert and upon his death she moved
to Mitchell, where she had since re
sided. Mrs. Webb was a
member of Main Street
Church, Mitchell, and her
i will be mourned by a wide
’ friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Webb
was one of eleven children, only one
brother surviving, George Neal, of
Mitchell.
Horse breeding in
been more active in
any season since 1920, according to
figures just released by the Stallion
Enrolment Board of Ontario. An
other interesting feature of the re
port is that for the first time in the
history of the province the number
of percheron Stallions offered for
public service exceeds Clydesdales.
Percheron stallions total 640 and
Clydes 601.
Middlesex County shows the great
est number of stallions enrolled with
an even 100 divided as follows:
48 Percherons, 34 Clydes, 4 Bel
gians, S Standard, 6 Thoroughbreds
and 11 Arab. Dr. W. J. Stevenson of
London owns the only Arab Stallion
in Ontario, the report discloses. Hur
on County is second with 72, Bruce
is third with 66 followed by Perth
and Grey counties with 62 each.
The gradual upswing in horse
breeding in Ontario can be seen by
the increase in the number of stal
lions enrolled. In 1932 the enrolment
total was 1013 with 116 6 in 1933;
1189 in 1934; 1300 in 1935; 1402 in
1936; 1506 in 1937 and 15183 this
year.
The report also states that regular
fall inspection is free to all stallion
owners. The province has been di
vided into four sections and stallion
owners are requested to make appli
cation at once to their local Agricul
tural representative who are arrang
ing routes in their counties. Regular
inspection is also provided at Ottawa
the Royal and Guelph Winter Fairs.

FACTS REGARDING THE
RESTRICTED AREA PLAN
That different crops respond
varying measures to the application
of manure is a well recognized fact.
A knowledge of how they respond is
necessary if t'he most profitable re
turns are to be obtained from the
manure and from the crops in the
rotation as a whole.
Where intertilled crops are grown,
they will perhaps show the most pro
fitable response, but where rotations
consist of grain and hay the answer
to the question is not so obvious.
With rotations on heavy clay soils
such as are found in Northern On
tario, the results of an experiment at'
the Dominion Experimental Station I ney, 34; Thoroughbreeds, 27; French
at Kapuskasing, Ontario are very in- Canadian, 19; German Coach, 6;
' Suffolk, 4; French Coach, 2; Saddle
1 and Arab 1.
It is interesting to note that 3 52
of the stallions enrolled carry pre
mium certificates whereby they qual
ify for an annual grant from both
Provincial and Federal Departments
of Agriculture, the .amount of which
will vary according to the number of
in foal mares left by the service of
the stallion, and according to the
form of premium certificates the stal
lion carries.
i
Struetive.
Two similiar four-year rotations
have been running alongside each
other for thirteen years. Both consist
of oats, barley and two years of mix
ed hay. One has not received any
manure or other fertilizer, while the
other ihas been given ap application
of eight tons of manure to the barley
and another eight tons on the after
math of the first year’s hay for tihe
2nd year of hay. From the informa
tion gathered on these rotations dur
ing thirteen years, it is possible to
compare the effect of manure on bar
ley and hay, and the residual effect
on oats and hay.
A study of the data shows that
barley increased 65 per cent and hay
126 per cent, in response to direct
applications of manure, while oats
increased 60' per cent, and hay 101
per cent, from residual effect, that is
residual fertility the years following
applications.
Those comparisons show very
clearly that the hay crops responded
in a greater degree to manure than
did the grain crops, and indicate that
the most profitable place for the
manure will be on the bay crop.

Huron County Plans T. B. Area
Meetings
Huron County Council has taken
definite action along with the Agri
cultural Representative and the Live
Stock Branch of the Ontario Depart
ment of Agriculture in planning a
series of 3 5 meetings to discuss the
advisability of having Huron gazetted
as a restricted area for the eradica
tion of bovine tuberculosis in cattle.
These meetings will commence
about the last of October. It is hoped
to have canvassers appointed and a
vote of cattle owners taken to decide
the issue.
' Officials of the county point out
that at the present time there are
only five counties in the entire pro
vince that have not taken some ac
tion to acquaint cattle shipers to the
United States markets are already
feeling the inconvenience of the new
American regulations effective last
July 1st whereby all cattle except
those for immediate slaughter must
be tested before crossing the line. A
number of shippers recently inter
viewed expressed the opinion that in
view of this regulation and that the
market has been cut down in pack
ing houses not under Washington su
pervision cannot bring' in untested
Canadian cattle even though for im
mediate slaughter, .the sooner the
whole province is tested the better.
In this connection the American
market will take cattle from areas
which have been tested under t'he
restricted area plan without further
test. Huron county, being very
largely inerested in, beef cattle, is

it is revealed that the first by-law
passed by a Goderich council, in 1855
was one to regulate taverns and tem

“That hotels must have a large,
commodious barroom,” the by-law set
out. iLater an amendment changed
the word "commodious” to "conven
ient.” It stipulated that the tavern
must contain two separate sitting
rooms, one for each sex. At least 10
bedrooms were required and "stab

Results show that losses have
been heavier in dairy than in beef
sections. Abnormally high losses
were encountered in sections of York
Peel and Halton Counties. In most
instances these losses occurred on
farms where cattle of unknown ori
gin had been introduced to the herd
from time to time.
Question—Is the T. B. Serum
Test accurate and square?
Answer—It is the only accurate
test for tuberculosis in, cattle so far
discovered. An occasional cow may
be so bad that she won’t react but
she then may show the disease by
her condition. Many that react have
only a slight amount of disease.
One never knows when such a cow
may break down following illness or
heavy work and become a spreader
of the disease. All animals that re
act have tuberculosis in some form.
The' staff of veterinarians on this
work are at it all the year round and
they hold their jobs because they
are skillful, accurate and honest.
They are anxious to have as few re
act as possible but they must be ac
curate. No government inspector
is fool enough to pass tuberculosis
animals. Someone would soon re
port him and his job wouldn’t last
the month out. He must tag all the
animals he tests and ear punch all
reactors.
