In general the crop has been free from disease and beets show healthy green tops. the 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 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.
