New Winter Barley
Licensed For Sale
Winter barley is becoming
popular each year in Central and
Soijth Western Ontario, where, in the
South-west portion of the province in
particular, yields are often higher
than for spring barleys, according to
W« W. Snow, extension specialist of
the Western Ontario Agricultural
School at Ridgetown, Mr. Snow re
ports that South-Western Ontario is
the area best suited for winter barley
production, but that some areas of
Central Ontario can produce good
crops particularly if a very winter
hardy variety is used.
Although winter barley is not as
winter-hardy as wheat, especially
where the soil is heavy or not too
well-drained, there is a distinct dif
ference in the ability of varieties to
withstand winter-killing.
Hudson is a new high yielding vari
ety of winter barley recently licensed
for sale in Canada. It is winter-hardy
and may often be grown successfully
under conditions that would eliminate
much of the stand of varieties such’
as Wong. Hudson stands well and has
advantages in this respect over Ten
nessee which has heretofore been re
garded as the standard for winter
hardiness.
mpre
Winter barley has other advantages
as well. It matures earlier than other
common small grains and is often
ready for combining or threshing two
weeks before winter wheat. This, of
course spreads the harvest season
and helps reduce the pressure of work
at a busy time.
Brook trout, six pounds and up, are
not uncommon in Ontario.

Men, materials...
and money
When a business lands an order or a contract,
it is likely to go to a chartered bank to arrange some
of the financing. It may need bank credit to meet
payrolls, to buy materials or to cover other
costs that arise before it is paid*
That’s why businesses both large and small can
take on many jobs they would be unable to
handle if they had to depend entirely on their own
financial resources... And why, every day
and in every part of Canada, the Chartered banks
are lending money to producers, manufacturers,
processors and other commercial customers.
Commercial loans are only one of many banking
services available at a branch of a chartered bank.
V You will find it is a convenient banking
service-centre where you can attend to
all your banking needs.

No—not a Communist, but the
fire-engine red that goes with
clanging bells, screaming sirens
and racing fire trucks.
The Kent Fire Brigade, in
England, has gone against
tradition and now uses vehicles
of aluminum—for three good
reasons: No more painting. Less
gas... we mean petrol And
better roadability and handling
because of the lighter-weight
aluminum bodies. We’d guess
there’s a further premium that
the Kent folk enjoy: pride in
their fire brigade when it flashes
by in its gleaming new dress»
Few materials can match alu
