Gov't Inspector Tells Turnip Growers
If turnip growers a,re to ex-
Paul their sales in the united
States and Canada, they will
have to produce a quality laro.-
tinet, J. J. Johnson, supervising
inspector, fruit and vegetables
branch, Ontario Department of
Agriculture, said. Thursday..
He urged growers at the Exeter
Turnip Sales banquet at Centralia
United .Church to use new chemi-
cal formulae td prevent water
core and root maggot and to en1-
ploy the new methods of growing
advocated by agriculture Officials.
"Sines the development of the
Laurentian variety in 1987," Mr.
Johnson said, "the industry has
expanded quickly and shipments
to the United States have in-
creased until now about two mil-
lion bushels are being shipped
annually to U.S. markets from
Ontario,"
"We cat further increase the
sale of turnips to the smith and
in our home markets by provid-
ing two things: a quality product
and adequate publicity to acquaint
so
people with the aneritS of the
products,
"The industry. ,has done :a lot to
improve the quality of turnips
but we can de more," he said.
Urging growers to use the me-
thods and :chemicals advocated ,by
aaricuitural scientists, Mr. .John -
80n stated "quality begins in the
field."
Outlining the history of the
rutabaga industry, !kir. Johnson
said turnips were first washed in
a household washtub and waxed
in a ,bucket over a kitchen stove
in 1934.
"Shortly after that our. friend,
Seth Winer, started in the ;busi-
ness in a factory at Exeter.".
.,The speaker said he remember-
ed visiting the factory, now oc-
cupies' by. Jensen and Co., and
watching the turnips ;being wash-
ed in a dump truck. box. They
were sloshed up -.and down with
a broom` until they were clean.
and then put up on racks until
they were dry.. The turnips were
dipped in wax, one at a time,

More -Interesting Research
Figures released from the Leth-
bridge Experimental Station re-
cently confirmed what many farm-
ers in this .district felt was a fact
—"That it costs more to. put a
pound of beef on a 1,000 lb. steer
than on a 400 lb. steer calf."
But what many feeders may not
realize is how great a difference
really exists,

WHALED CORNERS
Forty-four choice calves were
fed a two -to -one ration of grain
to hay. The hay was two-thirds
,alfalfa and one-third crested
'wheatgrass, and the grain, 35
per .cent barley, 34 .per cent oats,
15 per cent dried beet pulp, 1.0
per cent linseed oilmeal, five per
cent molasses and one-half per
cent each of salt and bonemeal.
The' animals were fed individual-
ly, and Slaughtered when' they
reached 900 pounds.
Feed required for 1-00 pounds,
of grain increased as theweight
of .the animal increased, a result
fully expected. However, it was
perhaps surprising that it cost
37 per Bent more to increase •a.
steer's weight from 800 pounds
tti 900 pounds than it did to in-
crease from 400 to 500 pounds.
Dr. Whiting reports that in pre-
vious 'feeding tests at Lethbridge
it cost a'bo'ut 20 per cent more
to raise a steer from 900 to 1,000
pounds, than to raise it from 800
to 900 pounds.
Statistics of the experiment re-
vealed that the daily average gain
of a steer from 400 to 500 pounds
was 1.65 pounds using 636 pounds
of feed at a • cost of 11.66 per
100 pounds of gain. Comparable
figures from 50.0 to 600 pounds
were 1.83 pounds of daily gain,
using 682 pounds of feed at a
cost of $12.48. For 600 to 7'00
pounds the corresponding figures
were: two -pounds, 752 pounds
and $13.80; for . 500 t,3' 800
pounds, 2.04 pounds, 81.4 pounds
and °$14,90, and for 800 to 900
pound(; 2.13 pounds, 872 pounds
and $16.
AlthoughTtbe rate of grain in-
creased with increases in weight,
the cost of the grain went up
more than proportionally..
DID YOU KNOW?
Unless people of rural com-
munities are willing to regard
the Agricultural Society, more
commonly known as "---- Fair,"
as a• logical centre around which
to rally the agricultural interests
of the community, and make it
the focal point for their mutual
dependence on the soil, .there can
be little use for continuing it.

Mr. Johnson cited the advent

crease production. One important
development in :the industry was

Laud Growers
For Plant Aid
Many glowing tributesto the
community spirit which helped
rebuild the turnip waxing plant
et Centralia were voiced at the
banquet Thursday night,
Almost all of the many speak-
ers praised the growers who vol-
untarily helped EXeter Turnip
Sales construct the new, modern
plant to replace the one destroy-
ed by fire in January. The,' mar-
yelled at the short time it took
for the construction of the plant.
After the fire levelled the
Centralia building, farmers con-
tributed their time and equip-
ment to clean up the debris and
also helped with the actual con-
struction. Their assistance made
it possible for the firm to get
back in operation in about a
month after the fire, This was of
utmost importance because both
the owners and growers were
missing the heavy export de-
mand.
Chief speaker, J. J. Johnson,'
of the .Ontario Department of
Agriculture, said: "It shows a
marvellousspirit
of neighborly
co-operation. Nowhere do people
rally to the help of others as in
the country. Tliis accomplishment
is truly remarkable."
Cornelius Stokkermans, presi-
dent of the I{iondyke Growers Co-
operative near 'Grand Bend, •stat-
ed: "I am surprised to see the
co-operation among the lfeople
here. That's one thing I like
about Canada. All the people
jump in and help out when some-
one suffers. a disaster."
George Braithwaite, manager"
of Canada Packers Ltd., Exeter,
said few people expected that in
such a short time after the fire
the building would be replaced.
Others who spoke were Earl
Neil, manager of Exeter Produce
and 'Storage;- Bill i ssery, sugar
beet official; Arnold Truax,, of
Forest, provincial fruit inspector;
Karl Campbell, Huron County
warden;' Georg Martin, Galt, and
Bert ,Culver, .of Toronto, turnip
buyers.
L. R. Hodgson, Centraliain-.
surance agent, presented polielest
to the owners of .Exeter Turnip
Sales for 310,000 coverage of the
new .building.
A. H. Wilford, chairman of
the banquet and unofficial pro-
moter of the rutabaga industry,
announced he intended to form
a "City of Rutabaga" In the area
north of London, south of Owen
Sound and west of Guelph. Every
shipper in this district would,
form a little committee and these
committees: would form the coup-�
ell of this turnip city. He did not
say when the council would be
organized.
Owners of Exeter Turnip Sales,
Ted Pooley .and Seth Winer, ex-
pressed appreciation to all those
who had assisted then,.
