News and Information For The Busy Farmer Growing Pullets on Range The most satisfactory place to rear­ pullets is on range land, preferably at some distance from the main poul­ try plant. Grass or cloyer sod makes excellent range for chickens, but if these are not available, an effort should be made to provide green feed by sowing annual crops such as oats. Chickens reared under good range conditions are usually more profitable layers than those reared under crowded conditions where the yards are bare most of the summer. At the Dominion Experimental Station, Fredericton, N.B., chicks are placed in portable brooder houses direct from the incubator. The chicks are given a yard as soon as weather permits in the spring, after the hous­ es have been moved to ground which was seeded with clover..the previous year, When the chicks are about ten weeks of age, the pullets are given a large grass or clover range and re­ main there until they show signs of Coming into production, when they are placed in laying houses. Range shelters provide ideal- ac­ commodation for pullets or cockerels during tlie summers. A shelter meas­ uring 8x10 feet with an eighteen inch post, constructed of 2x3 inch mater­ ial, and fitted with seven roosts will hold about 100 pullets. The sides and ends of the shelter .should be covered with one inch mesh chicken wire to give protection from animals at night. Range shelters, feed hoppers, drink­ ing troughs, etc., should be moved several times during the summer to prevent excessive contamination ar­ ound them. It is also a wise precau­ tion against the spread of disease to set the feed hoppers and drinking troughs On wire screen raised a few inches off the ground. ROYAL SERVICE STATION (Homuth & Bennett, Props.) Wingham Phone 174W Ontario I Insect Pests The army worm was the outstand­ ing insect pest in August. The most serious outbreak of this insect within the last fifty year's has taken place. The worms were most numerous and the damage greatest in the counties of Hurottf Bruce, Grey Simcoe, Duffer­ in, Waterloo, Wellington, York, On- MESSAGE FOR HITLER Back on British soil Premier -Chamberlain is shown in this ‘ radio photo as he steps from an airplane on his return from Germany. tario and Durham, but there were al­ so minor outbreaks all over Old On­ tario and also in several areas in New Ontario even as far west as Rainy River District. The crops attacked were all kinds of grasses, including timothy and millet, oats, barley, spring wheat, corn and to a slight extent winter wheat. The chief damage was done to oats and barley. Hundreds of fields of these were heavily attacked in the above mentioned counties. Wherever the poisoned bait was ap­ plied in time and properly distribut­ ed, it gave remarkably good results, a single application saying the cr.op. Wherever it was not applied or ap­ plied too late the crop was either ruined or severely damaged. The fur­ row method combined with poisoned bran also was a decided success in preventing the worms from marching from an infested field or fields into non-infested crops, especially corn. Fortunately in even the worst ar­ eas there were usually many fields that either had no worms or very few and this fact prevented the. loss from being so great as it otherwise would have been. White grubs in some localities in central Ontario are abundant in sandy soil Or soils of an open text­ ure, and are attacking especially po­ tato tubers. Grasshoppers have caused some damage, chiefly in the counties of Carleton and Prescott. Poison for baiting was sent to these, with the result that little further damage is likely to take place. Wheat stem maggots have been numerous in a number of barley and wheat fields as shown by the heads turning white prematurely without any kernels developing. This insect seldom does a great deal of damage. A wheat stem sawfly, probably the same one as occurs in the wheat areas of our West, lias been found in wheat fields in Prince Edward, Hast­ ings and York counties. This is ap­ parently a new insect for Ontario, and whether it wilt prove to be a serious pest remains to be seen. It is too early yet to report on the European corn borer,' hut the indi­ cations are that there will be consid­ erable damage in Essex and Kent. The variegated cutworm was (Experimental Farms Note) Where soils are heavy clay imperv­ ious to the passage of water, the ef­ ficiency of tile drainage is very low in proportion to its cost. Lines of tile must be laid close together for effective drainage and as the system grows older, the soil becomes pack­ ed around the tiles and the easy es­ cape of water becomes progressively, less. Under such conditions the sys­ tem that has been adopted at the Do­ minion Experimental .Station at Kap- uskasing will be found to serve very well# states E. T. Goring, the Assist­ ant, This method is a modification of the system developed by “l’abbe Ri­ chard" in the province of Quebec. The principle involved is to develop the surface of the fields into a series of rounded ridges or “lands” ’ with permanent “dead” furrows between. The water is shed from the ridges into the furrows and escapes down ’’these to the drainage outlet, either a creek or ditch. The modification lies in the widths of the lands. These have been greatly increased over those of the parent system, and dis­ tances of 60 to *75 feet between the permanent dead furrows are being ‘found very satisfactory. It has been found that the rolling surface of the land is not nearly as great a hindrance in working the land, cutting crops, etc., as might be expected and is not a valid reason for not making use of this system. In laying out the fields, prepara­ tory to establishing this system, care must J>e taken to divide the field in­ to such a number that the lands may be worked in pairs, the reason for which will explain itself. The rounding up process is done during the ordinary course of plough­ ing and usually after three plough­ ings the surface of the fields begins to assume the desired shape. At the first pldjving, striking out is made in the center of the lands. Subsequent ploughings start a few feet on one side or the other of the center. For example, at the second ploughing striking out is done say five feet to the right of the center on one land and five feet to the left.of center on the next land. As ploughing proceeds it will be found that there is a five- foot strip left unfinished on one side of each land when the other side is finished. These two strips are then ploughed together and thus no time is lost in making “empty return trips across the field, hence the . necessity of having the lands in pairs. Once the lands are rounded up to the de­ sired shape, this is easily maintained by striking out at different places. The lands must be laid out with the ploughing done up and down the the slope, so that the water may es­ cape down the dead furrows, and it may be necessary to clean out these furrows and grade down certain high spots which may occurr in them so that all the water may escape. This is the only additional work or ex­ pense involved, over ’and above the usual ploughing. While it is not advocated that this system should supplant or replace­ tile drainage on soils where the lat­ ter is effective, it can be used to ad­ vantage on heavy clay soils and in those districts that are being opened up and for settlement, where the need for drainage is great but the capital to establish underground drainage is not available.
