Canada's Agriculture
Painting a bright picture of the
Canada of the 'future and the Ma'
znenee possibilities that lie ahead,
S.' Chagnon, Federal Assistant
Poputy Minister of Agriculture,
guess sneaker at the noon luncheon
provided by Canadian Co-Operative
Wool Orowers Limited, emphasized
the duty and the opportunity that
fall to Canadian agriculture in
Phi/Ming to feed the present grow-
ing population of sixteen million
PecPie and, proneises to be doubled
before the next '25 years are gone.
Having been president of Cana-
dian Sheep Breeders Association in,
the late 'thirties, he was' able to
Say that some progress. had been
made by way of improvements in
the quality of pure-bred flocks but
ground had been lost in regard to
sheep population, and per capita
consumption of lamb bad dropped
to balf of what it was in 1_035--
now only 2.8 pounds. Consumption
of all meats had increased more
than 10% in the past few Years.
Looking for causes, he could not
find that there was lack of organi-
zation, "Yours is recognized as one
of the best, if not the best co-op-
eratives in the world", he said, and
he was happy to pay tribute to
those who had guided it since 1918,
as well as to the members through-
out. Canada for continuous and
loyal support. Ti was too bad, how-
.ever, that it was necessary to im-
port over 10 million pounds of
lamb and some 35 million pounds
,of wool each year to meet home
requirements.
Xt was suggested that there was
need for a study and report on the
possibility of better land-use. In
order to meet increased costs,
Canadian agriculture must be more
productive, In past years,, sheep
£had competed in land-use with
cattle and swine which have been

Crop Report
Byg.A. S. Belton .
Cold . weather accompanied by
frosts at night has slowed down
the growth of grass and other
crops, particularly at the 'end of
the week Frosts on Wednesday
and ThurAclay nights did consider-
able damage to the clever and
other susceptible crops.
Soil conditions have been quite
favourable for the seeding of
cereal grains and -most of the
farmers will have finished seeding
operations by the end of the week.
A. good numberof cattle have been
turned out to pasture during the
Past week, particularly in the south
end of the county. This of course,
was made possible by the rapid
growth of grass two weeks ago.
New Zealand's
Young Farmers
The equivalent to .Canada.N 4-H
Clubs in New Zealand are the
Young. Farmers' Clubs with the
motto, "Youth, Farming Citizen-
ship". Founded in 1033, there are
now 335 affiliated Clubs in 44 dis-
tricts evith a total membership of
over 10,000. '
The age limit is 14-30 and the
members are mostly farmers' sons
and farm employees, These young
men are old enough to be active-
ly interested in, or actually work-
ing the land and from club to
federation level, the movement is
run entirely by its own members,
The organization's aim, as in
4-H clubs, is to promote better
farming and citizenship. It is
concerned with the development
of knowledge, -building of char-
acter and the scieial side of rural
life.
Lectures, discussions amid de-
bates are regular features, Field
days are held, visits made to dis-
trict farts and talks and demon-
atratiorms are given on pasture,
stock and crops by practical Men.
.Competitions on stook judging
and educational tours are an itn
pOrtatit part of the work.

Although bleeders were well

Making New La'v
Takes Care, Patience
Although the fall is probably
the best time of the yeil,r 'at
which to make a new lawn, More
lawns are made, in the. spring
than at any other time, of ythara
states J. C. Taylor of the Corti
culture Department, Ontario Ag-'
ricultural College.
The first essential.•in • making
a new lawn is to provide suffi-
cient top-soii on which ,to grow
the' grass. Nearly all lawn troub-
les are due to too thin a layer
of top soil, says the Q.A.C. auth-
ority. Such a layer does not pro-
vide sufficient plant food to
maintain a good stand of grass,
amid the result is a thin and weedy
lawn. Ataleast five or six inches
of top-soil are necessary and
more is better. • •
• The top-soil should be spread
over the surfaces to the grade
levels, If well-rotted manure is
available, it improves both the
physical, condition of the' soil as
well as the fertility, About 'one-
half a ton of manure to 10,00
square feet of lawn area is a good
application, should he worked
in to the soil.. .
When manure is not available,
rotted leaves or decayed, veget-
able matter, free of weed seeds if
Possible, helps the soil. In any case
a complete fertilizer containing
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash
in balanced amounts should be
worked in. There are many such
fertilizers available from seed
and fertilizer dealers.
To 'prepare the soil for seeding,
all stones and -debris should be
removed by raking in. order to
get a fine and even surface. Gen-
erally speaking, it is advisable
to sow a mixture of grasses
rather than a single species di
grass, Every mixture, however,
should have some Kentecky'blue-
grass in it, This is the most im-
portan' lawn grais in ,Ontario,
and if the soil is good and a fair
supply of water is available, Ken-
tucky bluegrass will eventually
increase. and become the doreie-
ant grase in the,lawn.
For amost,,,hame lawns, the best.
plan is
'
'probably to buy a mix-
ture •alrea•dy made up. A good
"general" mixture is usually sat-
isfactory; "bargain" Mixturies
should be regarded with reserve-,
tions. Generally, they contain too
many course and ,unsuitable
grasses, and although these ger-
minate quickly., the end product
is a coarse lawn. The rate of
seeding should be between three
and five pounds for every 1000
square feet of lawn, area.
