Too frequently, the results of good,
care during the early life of the
chicks are neutralized or lost, due to
neglect after they have passed the? so-
called danger point in their develop

try, but the wise poultryman will be
on the alert to anticipate and avoid
trouble, rather than to pay the pen
alty which follows negligence.
In many cases the farmer fails to
provide adequate rations, usually by
depending upon insect life as a source
of animal food instead of including
adequate supplies of dried milk or
meat scraps in the growing mash.
Then again, he may not provide suf
ficient -amounts. An abundance of
feed hoppers kept filled with grain
andf growing mash, and placed in
shady places, will assist in keeping
the chicks growing during hot wea

that green feed is lacking, alfalfa leaf
meal can be included in the growing

The Vegetable Crop
Vegetables are in average to above
average ' condition throughout the
Province with the exception of on
ion's and canning tomatoes, which are
somewhat below average in Western
Ontario and late cauliflower and let
tuce, which are slightly below normal
in Eastern Ontario. Temperature and
precipitation have been generally fav
ourable during the past month^ for
most vegetable crops although more
rainfall-would have been beneficial in
thq counties of Dundas, Northumber
land, Peterborough and Hastings. In
Eastern .Ontario insects and disease’
losses are about normal, but in West
ern Ontario local wet and other ad
verse conditions have particularly af
fected tomatoes (splitting and break
down); lettuce (tip-burn); onions
(skin rot and poo“r development ow
ing to excessive moisture); and to a
lesser extent celery (blight). Usual
insect pests are fairly well under con
trol in Western Ontario. Rains dur
ing the past month have improved all
vegetable crops in Northern Ontario."

A fall wheat improvement program
for Simcoe County is being put into
operation with the agricultural soc
ieties of the county, the agricultural
committee of the county council, the
junior farmers and leading wheat pro
ducers. Its purpose is to bring about
the production of a higher quality
wheat so as to meet the demand of
milling companies for pure white
winter wheat. Six agricultural societ
ies including Cookstown, Alliston,
Nottawasaga, Oro, Elmvale and Bar
rie haVe agreed to co-operate by con
ducting field crop competitions.
These are supported by grants from
the Federal and Provincial Depart
ments of Agriculture, $75 divided in
to 12 prizes being available for each
of the contests. Where possible, a
Boys’ Wheat Club will be organized
and these along with the senior con
tests will link up with fall fairs held
in 1938. Contestants will be required
to sow at least three acres with reg
