A despatch from Guelph sa,,ys At the most•euceessful meeting yet held of the Ontario Agricultural • and Experimental Union, Prof. Zri- vitz review,ed the experimental work done in fertilizers. The work • in Ontario. bad succeeded so well because it was started on a small ocale and worked up from the bets tom. One yea's work with man - gels showed good •results from the application of nitrogen. One hun- dred pounds pet acte increased the yield from a tons to 34 tons per acre, at a eost'of two cents a bush- el for the increase, Prof, Harcourt said tha,t to earry • on fertilizing experiments success- fully one must have a full know- ledge of three thiegs the empci- sition of the plant, the composition of the soil, and the peauliar require- ments of the different crops.. For anample, mangele reqaired nitro- gen, turnips required phosphorus, mid so on. :Prof, E, J. Zavitz told of the work carried on by the forestry depatt- merit. Last year. two hundred thou - and trees were distributed free to 29 counties, During the past few years there had been little change in the area of Ontario woodlands. There was a lo -ser percentage of woodlands in Ontario than in Great Britain, France and other Euro- pean eountries. "There ia. a place for the dairy shorthorn in Ontario," said Prof. G. E. Day. "They are quite com- mon in England and we have some ofthem out here. It lies with the breeders •of shorthorns to select cows of milking -qualities and breed a strain from there." F, C. Nunniekt who is con- nected with the tommission on con- servation, said that not enough at- tentionwas paid to the varieties of grain grown. In Peterboro County, for instance 17 varieties were grown. These could not all be best varieties. Weeds were gain- ing the ascendency, in many eases. On one farm 05 cliffetent weeds were found. A fact, the significauce of which could not be slighted, was that 93 per cent. a the farmers Were taking tto special preettutione to prevent the waste of farmyard manure. This meant an enormous annual loss of fertility. „Eight de- monstration !arms were established in different parts of the province.
