Fall wheat is an average crop of good quality. Barley and oats ripened prematurely, resulting in light yields of only fail­ quality. Canning peas suffered from unfavourable weather resulting in a curtailed pack. Sweet corn is well be­ low normal. Yields of small fruits were below average. Harvesting of late tomatoes is under way, with ex­ pectations of below-avet-age produc­ tion. Early varieties were scalded by inte.nse heat, reducing the yields. Field corn and roots have, benefited from recent rains but indicate below- average yields. Hay of good quality was stored under favourable condi­ tions. Second growth has shown no progress and pastures are in poor condition, necessitating continued sup­ plementary feeding. Peaches are ab­ ove early expectations and marketing has commenced. Grapes are expected to be 50-75% of average. Late var­ ieties of apples continue to progress. Tobacco has suffered from prolonged drought which has affected yield and quality. Give Good Measure in Binder Twine There has been little ccAnplainhas to the quality of binder twine ,^ld in, Canada in recent years. TheS’law requires that each ball of binder twine sold, whether Canadian made or im­ ported, bears a label showing the number of feet per pound in the ball. These statements as to length, for example 500, 550; 600 or 650 feet to the pound, are checked by inspectors of the Seed Branch. A certain tolerance is allowed un­ der the Act in consideration of vari­ ations which naturally must occur, However, of the three hundred sam­ ples or more tested annually, more than half have shown a greater length to the pound than the label called for. In samples winch did not meet the guarantee, the deficiencies in length per pound were inconsiderable and only in occasional cases did the deficiency exceed the limit allowed. Since 1930, the proportion of samples found to have shortages has not am­ ounted. to three per cent, of the total, number of samples tested, the pro­ portion in 1935 being less than half of one per cent. Crate Feed Poultry and Increase In­ come A substantial amount of money in. the aggregate is lost by farmers ev­ ery year due to sending their poultry to market not properly finished. Far too much of the poultry offered on both the domestic and export markets is below the Milkfed A and Milkfed B classes for which a premium up to as high as three cents per pound is paid over the lower grades. I he sure and certain way to raise the grade is by the comparatively simple- process of crate feeding the birds on a ration of finely-ground home grains, potatoes and sour milk, ' There are various fattening mix­ tures that give good results, but the point is to make use of the feed pro; duced and available on the farm. The best results will be obtained if the birds arc put in disinfected crates two or three weeks before marketing, The crates should be put in reason­ ably warm quarters free from draught and the birds should be fed morning, and evening, The following ration is recommended:/- Equal parts of oats and wheat, with barley or buckwheat; add potatoes at the rate of one-third of the total weight of the meal mix­ ture; mix with sour milk so that the mixture will pour easily. The beginning of the feeding per­ iod is most important. If the birds are placed in the feeding crates with food in their crops they should miss a meal and should be fed sparingly for about two days. Immediately on being placed in feeding .crates birds should be given a purgative in the form of Epsom Salts in the first feed, the dosage being at the rate of one pound of Epsom salts to one hundred, birds. The salts should be dissolved in water and the solution used for mixing the first feed. Feeding the birds all they will eat the first day results in loss of appe­ tite and weight. It is better to leave the birds without feed for the first 24 hours after putting them in the crates than to overfeed them. For the first few days the birds should be kept fair­ ly hungry' and never satisfied until they become accustomed to their confined quarters.. After that as much feed as they will take may be given two or three times a day. After ev- * ery feed, however, the troughs should be. cleaned, and a supply of grit should be available two or three times a week. Little Betty had been allowed to stay up to supper one night on the strict understanding that she should behave very well and not ask for any­ thing on the table. When dessert came all the guests were attended to, but she was over­ looked. She sat despondently for a time, and then was struck by a bright idea. She exclaimed in a loud voice: “Who wants a clean plate?” SPECIAL BARGAIN EXCURSIONS TO ALL STATIONS IN WESTERN CANADA Going Dates: Daily Sept. 19 to Oct, 3, 1936 Return Limit: 45 days.
