News and Information
For the Busy Farmer
Barley at Guelph Fair
Growers of good commercial bar
ley will be interested in the class re
cently added to the prize list of the
Guelph Winter Fair. While only one
bushel need be exhibited at the Show,
the grower must have at least fifty
bushels of similar grade and descrip
tion for sale. Tims visitors to the
Show viewing this class will know
where to secure substantial lots of
good barley for seeding purposes.
Samples of all exhibits will be re
tained so that subsequent sales may
be checked up with tile samples tak
en by the judges. This will give as
surance to the buyers that the pur
chased barley is of the grade and
quality exhibited at the Show.
Each exhibitor must obtain from
his Agricultural Representative a cer
tificate that the bushel'’exhibited is
representative, of the fifty bushels of
fered for safe. Substantial cash priz
es are offered for this class.
Safeguard Rarity of Farm Well
Next importance to the location
of the farm well which should be far
removed from likely sources of con
tamination are the protective meas
—.... .... L.
ures which may be taken to safeguard
the purity of the water. The first
step after digging or drilling the well
is to protect it from the entrance of
surface water. The well must have a
good cover of concrete, stone or
wood. If the well is deep, it should
be fitted with a galvanized iron pipe
reaching to the bottom, care being
taken that the lower end of the pipe
is efficiently sealed, to the rock, also
that the. top of the pipe is sealed to
the cover. Otherwise surface water
may trickle down the pipe into the
well.
If the well is shallow and wide,
the walls of the well should be made
impervious to an adequate depth. Ten
or twelve feet is the usual depth re
commended for the impervious wall
which may be of concrete, puddled
clay or cemented tile. The wall should
be continued upwards one foot above
the surface of the ground. By this
means, surface water must filter
through a depth of ten or twelve feet
of earth before it can enter the' well,
and if the earth is in a reasonably
clean condition,- the water thus be
comes purified.
Further safeguards are the turfing
of the area immediately surrounding
the well, fencing to prevent the ap
proach of animals, and refraining
from using fertilizer within the vic
inity.
A large acreage of new seedings of
hay and clover was so badly injured
by the drought in Central and West
ern Ontario that it was ploughed up,
and the remaining acreage in this sec
tion, 'although greatly benefitted by
recent rains, is very spotty and con
siderably below average in appearan
ce. In Eastern Ontario the acreage
of new seedings is about normal, and
with plenty of rainfall all season
stands arc in good shape. Fall plough
ing has been done under favourable
conditions there.
total population of Canada is direct
ly dependent on the dairy industry
for a living, and the value of Can-,
ada’s dairy produce is approximate
ly $200,000,000 per annum.
North America is not distinguished,
for its vheese-eating propensity. Can
ada and the United States eat the
least cheese of any of the great na
tions, the United States being slight
ly ahead of Canada by about a pound
per capita. The approximate figures
of cheese consumption among the
various nations are: Switzerland, 23
pounds per head of population per
annum; Holland, 14% pounds; France
13% pounds; Denmark 13% pounds;
Italy, 12 pounds; Germany 11%
Great Britain 9% pounds; Scandin
pounds; United States 4% pounds;
avia, 7 pounds; New Zealand 4%
and Canada, 3% pounds.
There is no doubt as to the value
of cheese as an article of diet, and
cheese is capable of many variations
in its use as an ingredient of meals..
It contains a great store of energy
producing units, and is an economical
source of protein. Its low cost places
a highly nutritive food well within
reach of every housewife, no matter
how slender the purse may be. Cheese
should boused often in combination
with other foods as the main dish of
a meal. When used in this way, oth
er protein foods should be reduced to
a minimum. Because cheese is so rich
in protein, it should be combined with
starchy foods, and these with the ad
dition of leafy and root vegetables and
almost all fruits make an excellent
combination for the maintenance of
a reasonable and well-balanced diet.
Soil Testing Service Given at Guelph
Winter Fair
Through the courtesy of the On
tario Agricultural College, farmers
rpay bring samples of their soils to
the Guelph Winter Fair this year,1 and
have them tested free of charge. A
knowledge of the lime, phosphorous
and potash requirements of their soil
will enable the farmers to purchase
thbir fertilizer requirements on a
more sensible and economical basis.
This is only one of several features
of the seed department at the Pro
vincial Winter Fair which will make
. it of unusual interest to farmer vis
itors. The College will also have an
attractive educational exhibit which
will, include a display of some of the
nc.wer and more promising varieties
of grain, such as the Erban Oat and
the Nobarb Barley.
With the co-operation of the On
tario Corn Growers’ Association a
special display of commercial and seed
grades of corn will be featured, as
well as information as to varieties,
culture and uses of this important
crop
Boys’ Inter-Club Contests
The advance of club work in On
tario was evidenced at the Ontario
Agricultural College on Friday, Oc

each represented a similar number of
agricultural clubs in keenly contested
judging competition and oral exam

Where Crops Fit In
There, are some crops which are
not well suited to very fertile crops.
Buckwheat, for example, often pro
duces too much straw and too little
grain on rich soils, especially those
soils which arc very high in nitrogen.
Oats are likely to lodge badly on
soils loo rich in nitrogen. On the
other hand, a fertile soil is essential
for profitable yields of wheat and bar
ley. Rye will grow, well on rich soils
but it is also a particularly good crop
for light infertile soils. Turnips re
quire a fairly fertile soil, but, if the
soil is unbalanced in its fertility by
having an over-abundance of nitro
gen in comparison with other elem
ents of fertility, there will be luxur
iant tops but small roots.
Current Crop Report
The. October crop report gives a
review of conditions in Ontario as
compiled by a large staff of regular
correspondents, as follows: Weather
conditions since the end of August
have been particularly favourable for
growth and late crops made remark
able gams, offsetting to a consider
able extent the slow development
earlier in Central and Western On
tario due to intense drought. Pota
toes, root crops and sugar beets arc
now expected to have a larger yield
per acre than last year, while the
yield of corn for husking, corn for
fodder and total cuttings of alfalfa
will be less. Pastures, which were re
ported to,bo in the lowest condition
in years al the commencement of Au
gust and again at the first of Septem
ber, have improved tremendously and
arc now in normal to above normal
condition throughout most of the pro
vince, Farmers increased their acre
age of fall wheat this season and
fields have an excellent appearance.
The diner found a fly in his soup
and said crossly: “Waiter, what is
this?”
