One of his first steps Was to take soli samples and have them analy- sed. at C -I -L's soils lahoratoly at Chatham, Ont, The test showed ,hie Soil needed about 40 more pounds of nit`1•ogen per acre, 60 'pounds more of phosphate and 80 pounds more potash. He supplied tuts need by an application of 520 pounds per acre of 24.2-16d fertilizer and later a side .dressing of 33 pounds of nitrogen per acre. His first .crop yielded. 80• bushels of shelled corn per acre. In the. fall the corn stalks%were shredded'and plowed under 'with ,a broadcast application of 10-10-10 at 200 pounds per acre. Next spring, a soil. test revealed the fertility of the land had im- proved but more nturients were necessary. Mr. Metcalfe worked in 5b0 pounds oftl.16-6 fertilizer: per acre with another 25; to 30 pounds of nitrogen. The yield was.again. 80 bushels of corn an acre., The 1954' crop was soybeans, Fol- lowing a soil analysis, 540 pounds per acre of 0-16-8 were applied. The yield was 34 bushels of soybeans per acre despite a very dry sum- mer. In the fall he planted the n- acre plot in fall wheat of the Gen- esee variety fertilizing with 250 pounds of 4-12-10 per acre, The yield. was 69 •bushels to the acre when he reaped it in the sum- mer of 1955. Mr. 1Vtetca'Ife-`now 'feels he, has been well repaid for the expenses and work • he put into developing 10 acres of brush and swamp land, One of the most important phases of his operations, he says, was the soil testing, which guided him in PROPER STORAbE OF FARM TRACTORS Sowing Wil oats•is part•of his job, insists Earl Emond of Imperial Oil's, research staff at Sarnia, Ont, He .hopes to 'help farmers across Canada get 'rid of the troublesome weed which invades grainfields in ttmany areas.

The "cast-off" ewes from. the Western Range areas dq an ex- cellent jnb of raising market lambs when brought to Eastern Canada. These ewes, mainly of Rambouil- let breeding, are ' generally five years of age when considered. too old for the ranfe conditions of the West. However, when put on the rehaively qasy conditions of the Eastern farm they respond well and give up three or four good cross -bred lamb crops before being culled. The ewes are heavy milkers and excellent mothers, and when mated to Down rams most of their lambs can be marketed off pasture. Laml4 retained for grain feeding finish eftsily. At the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, the cross -bred lambs from the Western ewes have outweighed pure-bred Shropshire lambs at weaning by an average of fOur pounds and have gone to 'mar- ket an average of ten days earlier than all other lambs raised. During this past spring the Wes- tern ewes at Ottawa had an aver- age lambing percentage of better than 160 on' more than 150 ewes, ly less under ,the same candititms. Therefore, on the ...basis of pro- lificacy, the ability to grow, and the market quality of the cross- bred lambs, the Western ringe. ewe has a worthwhile 'place on Eastern Canadian farms. ,,H_; , 0 U IN NETS 'INCOME `*O f,A, PRESIDENT Na appreeiable 1 se.1as Pet rikrm income in Qntaria for ,9bT is corer seen `by TAW ,Tasper, president oaf rho rederation of the Agriculture, More rl4reciation. of farm. equipment 1s caused by correalen when a' machinery is idle, •than is ever by wear When it is at work, says Prof, 1', 'H.

Mr, Jasper made these precliot,, lens yesterday in .addressing th!e', twentieth annual meeting of tete' Federation of Agriculture being held in Toronto, November, .5th to 8th, There is little prospect that the net farm income 14 1957 in Ont- at'io will be 'significantly 'better that in 1956,,, Mr, Jasper said, There is ,a ;passibility that; .net, farm ineome far the province Will be lower,, unless we .do something. about it.

Mr. Jasper '.said that 'marketing legislation IS perfectly legal until proven otherwise, and we are oper- ating on .that basis."

The best thne to give the tractor a thorough check -over is at the time of stor- age because any replacements or maintenance work neceSsary can be done during' the idle season and the tractor can be put back into service in the spring without de- lay.

President Jasper hinted that an - ether marketing conference might be reqnired within the next tvvelve months. He said that the possibilities of such a conferenee depended entirely on what were the Supreme Court findings, The president affirmed that "should any of our marketing groups ever be embarrassed because of this. jurisdictional dispute regarding' Marketing legislation, our Federa, tion will be in there battling and our governrnents and the public will know about it." IVIr. Jasper indicated that dele- gates attending.. the annual meet- ing will be asked to give direetiort to ()FA. directors as tO what pro- cedure should be instituted to solve the Federation's current weak fin- ancial position, Another' major issue to come before the meeting will be the question of incorpora- ting the` Federation. President Jasper said that 1956 had been self-help year. He called upon the meeting to give this prac- tical application by calling 1957 "Marketing Year", during which time farmers of Ontario would consolidate the position of their Marketing groups, and extend their services.
