Crop Report
By G. W- MONTGOMERY
A number of farmers started
work on the laud in the (South
end of >the County during this
past week and a few fields of
grain were seeded. However the
weather still remains quite cool
and warmer weather coupled
with some rainfall is 'needed for
better growth conditions.
(Spraying for warble fly control
is under way in all townships and
i't would appear that there is an
increased demand for ithe spray
treatment this year.
Farmers’ in ’general report
there will be adequate 'livestock
feed supplies for the remainder
of the stabling period. ■
(The establishment of another
mechanical sugar beet unloader
further north in the4 county, at
Kippen will 'be 'a definite asset to
the growers of this crop in the
Blyth, Brucefield, Kippen and
Hensail areas who formerly
trucked their beets long distances
to (Centralia.
Knocking here and there
around the country we hear and
see some startling ideas. Most of
them don’t cost too much either.
Some of them are so simple and
apparent that most of us just be
cause we are so darned jeonven-
ional in our thinking and actions
don’t make use of.all the labour-
saving, money-making ideas we
should.
One young chap we know had
sent away and got hog fa>rr<owing
crate .plans. He claims the home
made crates have .paid for them
selves many times not only in
more pigs raised ito weaning butt
this young farmer weans 'two
pigs more per litter than before
he used these efficient farrowing
crates.
Another chap is expanding his
poultry.s'et-up 'this year and with
out spending very much. money.
"Haven’t got much anyway” he
said with a grin. Putting up poles
for joists be (laid 'used snowfences
op them and 'insulated with, .baled
straw to- stop the heat from beat
ing down into the pen in the sum

iPerhaps these young farmers
have explained the secret. In itho
face of falling incomes these men
and many others are knocking
themselves out trying to hold ithe
line. One by .more efficient .pro
duction, the other not only by
expansion .but by a low capital
investment. Roth of ithem are on
ly too aware that it is the small
sharp angles added together that
give the large figure in terms of
net .profit.
Don’ get us wrong, they and
we are not in favour of the de
creasing net income which seems
to be the fate 'of the farmers.
But they are not crying over
spilt milk. Some farmers', effi-
