News and Information
For The Busy Farmer
Sugar Beet Crop
Present indications are that the
sugar beet crop will yield well above
average this year, and have a high
sugar content. Preliminary tests
showed an average sugar content of
nearly 15% on September 1st, which
is higher than at this date for several
years. Root development was partic
ularly good during August and esti
mates now place production in ex
cess of 10 tons per acre. With the
high temperatures and humidity that
prevailed during the first week of Au
gust in Southwestern Ontario Leaf
Spot began to appear on early plant
ed fields. Fortunately, for the beet
The Vegetable Crop
In Western Ontario weather and
moisture conditions during the past
month have been generally favour
able for good growth, with the ex
ception of some frost, damage to vine
crops in the Bradford and South Sim
coe districts. Heavy rains and humid
weather earlier in the season in Es
sex, Kent, and Lambton Counties
caused considerable damage to the
onion crop, resulting in heavy loss
by skin and heart rot which may ma
terially affect the storing quality. The
late potato crop is comparatively free
from blight and quality very good.
However, the tuber set is below nor
mal and production will be below
average. Tomatoes have improved
considerably in quality.
In Eastern Ontario tomatoes have
yielded an average crop but quality
has been slightly below normal due
chiefly to destruction of foliage by
tomato worms, and too much wet
RADIO KEEPS PLANES ON SCHEDULE
Plow Weedy Pastures This Fall
“There are many old unprofitable
pastures to be seen in the country
side, heavily infested with weeds —
goldenrod, Canadian thistle, wild car
rot, etc.” says Dr. O. McConkey of
the Ontario Agricultural College, and
he continues;—“These can be im
proved 200, to 300% by (1) fall plow
ing, (2) cropping one or two years
to clean off weeds, (3) raising the
soil fertility level, (4) seeding to a
well balanced pasture mixture of leg
umes and grasses.
If you have a weedy pasture of this
kind, plan to plow it this fall and
start the improvement plan -as out
lined above, and it will return you
many dollars of profit over the pres
ent low producing pasture.
Old pastures infested with weeds,
like Canadian thistles, wild carrot,
etc., arc a weed menace to the com
munity. Plowing and clean cropping,
and in some cases summer fallow
ing, are the best methods of getting
rid of the weeds and preparing suit
able soil conditions for seeding down
to a profitable pasture mixture.
Mowing pastures should be more
fridely practised in Ontario. When
the new pasture is established and
weeds begin to show, mow early ev
ery season when the weeds are in the
first stages of bloom. Most weeds
are readily killed at this peripd of
growth. The mower bar should be
fitted with adjustable . skids which
raise the mower bar about 6 inches
depending on the roughness of the
pasture. These skids can be easily
made by the local blacksmith and are
inexpensive.
When seeding down be- sure that
the fertility level of the soH is high,
especially in the materials such as
lime, phosphorus, and potash. The
best plan is to send a composite sam
ple of the soil, taken at ten different
places across the field, to the Soils
Department, Ontario Agricultural
College, for analysis. The report and
suggestions from that department
will enable you to fertilize wisely and
economically according to the fertil
ity requirements of your soil type.
Minerals increase the chances of se
curing a good catch of seeds, lower
the percentage of winter killing of
the legumes, and, what is most im
portant, increases the protein and
material content of the feed.
For further information regarding
mixtures for pastures and hay write
to the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph, for Cricular No. 28, “Pas-'
ture is Paramount for Milk and Meat
Production in Ontario.”

The British pick-a-back seaplane
Mercury shattered the world non
stop seaplane flight record on Oct. S.
It failed, however to break the non
stop distance mark for all classes of
planes. The Mercury was forced
down by fuel shortage on Alexander
Bay, near the mouth of the Orange
river, South Africa. The plane had
covered 6,000 miles of a projected
6,370 mile flight from Dundee, Scot
land, to Cape Town. Her time for
the flight was 42 hours, five minutes.

Affecting the Future Welfare of Canada
Specially Written for Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association
LETTER NO. 24
MAKING CANADA
A Better Place in Which to Live and Work
Dear Sir:
For the individual, rely more upon
himself than upon government and
other outside assistance.
For the governments, create more
economy in operation, be brave en
ough to tax directly instead of indir
ectly so that the people may know
what their government is, costing
them. Institute a policy of useful
works to create employment and el
iminate relief. Seek to carry through
governmental projects in times when
private enterprise is lagging instead
of doing the work in boom periods
when costs are great.
For the people. Think in terms of
Canada rather than by provinces. De
velop the east-west connection not
only for the benefit of the Dominion
but as part of the British All-Red
line.
There are many things indeed
which we as Canadians could adopt
in order to make Canada
place in which to live and
But if we can restore to
vidual some of the rugged
our Canadian forefathers
have gone a long way towards mak
ing virile our national life. If we can
give more attention to good govern
ment through the elimination of pat
ronage and the recognition of hones
ty and merit we will force our gov
ernment to govern by frontal ditec-
tion instead of by subterfuge and ev
asion. Today, they are lagging in
purpose because they are no further
forward than the people.
They hesitate to show the cost of
government. They hide it in direct
taxation and thus the. man in the
street thinks living costs are high but
hardly understands the reason. If he
could realise that “taxation” seen and
unseen is high, he would take a more
deep and intelligent interest in the
administration' of affairs, which
would be to the general good.
We are too apt today to look upon
life and progress in terms of our own
district, our own province. Until we
span by means of all the modern ag
encies, the distance which separate
the Atlantic and Pacific, until we
thrust aside our “provincialisms” and
put Canada first and* foremost, our
country will not be the. place it
should be for living and working,
A stronger individual, a braver
government, a more clear-and-co-op-
crative thinking people, and finally
an even closer connection with the
Empire—And what more could we
desire in order to Make Canada a
better plage in which to Live and
Work.
It alt starts at home with you and
me, doesn’t it?
