Plowing Competitions The Marjcham Agricultural Society is contemplating a departure from the field crop competition as usually conducted. Instead crop the Directors accept entries for crops. Such fields to diave a minimum acreage of corn the other crops to include potatoes, mangels and turnips, all of which are usually grown in the “hoed crop" fields of the district. The enterprising Richmond Hill Agricultural Society which last year conducted a very successful compe tition for “Best Managed Farms”, this year is planning a change. It is now proposed to have, a contest for the "Best Plowed Farms”. It will be in teresting to learn if the York County farmers who win so many prizes at plowing matches will be equally suc cessful in this contest to include all plowing on the home farms. of choosing one have decided to fields of hoed may be required Spanish Ambassador Juan de Car- j denas, who resigned in Paris, amid re- ; ports that he was acting in protest ■ against an allegedly “illegal” request r by his Madrid, government for arms I from France. The reports were im- : mediately denied by all concerned. Henhouse Ventilation The removal of moisture is a ma jor problem in poultry houses. Poul try have no sweat glands, but they give off relatively large amounts of vapour in reparation and through the skin. It was found at one experi mental station that maximum egg production was obtained when tem peratures were not permitted to fluc tuate widely. A henhouse tempera ture at 50 degrees F. is too high to be maintained on most farms in the winter without artificial heat. Hence a lower temperature held uniformly would be desirable, bers of poultrymen with artificial heat ed, but failure has ed when temperatures were allowed to go too high or to fluctuate widely. Midgets Won from Lucknow In a game of softball at the local, park on Friday afternoon a team of midget players defeated Lucknow by the close score of 17-15.

Angus pitch ed for the winners and after the first innings held the Doormakers score less. N. Eotter was behind the bat Former Teeswater Man Buried The funeral of Browne Grenache, age 37, younger son of George Gren ache, of^ Teeswater, took place at London on Monday of last week. The death of Mr. Grenache was the result of an automobile accident near Sun-i nyside on July 18th, when his car col- . lided with an ice cream truck. Mr. Grenache received a broken hip, head injuries and a fractured skull, never regaining consciousness when death occurred in a Toronto hospital on Friday. Mr. Grenache was an em ployee of the Bank of Montreal in Toronto and leaves a wife, a former London young lady. He is also sur vived by his father and mother and sister, Sophronie, of Teeswater, and one brother, Stewart, of St, Johns, Current Crop Report Lack of rain and extremely warm weather during early July had a det rimental effect on the growth of crops. Strawberries proved an excep- i tionally short crop and raspberries ; have been similarly affected. Pastures dried up throughout South-Western Ontario where the heat reached re cord heights. However it is reported that wheat is looking well, with heads well-filled and plump. Haying has been practically completed in most sections and a lot of good hay has been gathered into the barns. Prince Edward County reports that canning factories aUe busy with peas, which arc about a 50 per cent, crop, due to lack of rain. The milk flow there, as in many other districts, dropped off decidedly. In general the contin ued dry weather had the effect of re tarding the growth and development of spring grains very materially. i -------- News and Information For The Busy Farmer Cornwall Plowing Match Plowmen and other interested cit izens of Eastern Ontario have plans well developed to make the 1936 In ternational Plowing Match equally as successful -as those of the previous years. The land to be plowed and location of Headquarters were approved by a Committee of the Provincial Assoc iation which visited the area recently, Very enthusiastic joint meetings were held and prospects are very bright for another successful match on October 6th to 9th. i Cutworm Control At this time of year all gardeners should be prepared for attacks of cut worms. A limited number of plants may be saved by a -wrapping of brown paper around each. Application may be made at planting time and the pa- .- per should cover the plant from one I inch below the ground surface to one half or one inch above. For larger plantations a poison ’ bran mixture is recommended. Bran 25 lbs.; Paris green V2 lb.; Molasses II qt.; and Water 2 gals.

McKIBBON’S DRUG STORE War Against Weeds Dry weather and bright, hot sun shine are the farmers’ greatest allies in the war against weeds. July and August are busy months for the far mer, and it is during these months when the weather is usually hot and dry that the maximum damage can be done to weeds with the minimum of effort. July plowing and earl}’ after har vest cultivation is to be highly re commended. Hay fields known to be dirty after haying, the furrows left to bake and dry out for 10 days or two weeks, then cultivated frequently as a Sum mer fallow and seeded to Fall wheat early in September. This so called dry cleaning method is very effective on Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Blad der Campion and. other perennial weeds. Straight Summer fallow is also very effective, although somewhat more expensive. Late sown buckwheat fol lowed the next year with rape or roots is a splendid method of check ing weeds. The cleanest farms in Ontario are operated by farmers who practice a short three or four year crop rota tion, who are particular in the use of clean, well graded seed and who prac tice thorough and adequate cultiva tion methods. As weeds are cut, crop losses are cut, and in order that the worst weeds may be prevented from spread ing, it is necessary that every occu pant of land, rural or urban ,expend every effort in digging, pulling, spray ing, cutting or burning weeds before they go to seed.
