In.Actual Competition They 'Lead All RivalS-This Means an Annual Gain of Millions of Dollars to the Country, (Contrtbuted by Ontario Department • Agalettlture Toronto.) of Approximately five million acres n are devoted anually, to the grain crops in Ontario. About three-fifths of this acreage is used for oats. Oats. ---Although there are about a - one hundred varieties of oats grow In general cultivation in Ontari about two-thirds of the entire oa crop consists of two varieties, viz n and all. Robinson, the Banner and the 0. A. C. No. 72 The Banner variety of oats was in troduced at least two score years ag under the 'name of VicIn's America' Banner. It was the leading varlet of oats in Ontario for a number a ,year, and is still prominent in som localities. The 0. A. c. No. 72 -variety of oats originated at the Ontario Agricul= tural College, Irene a single seed in 1903. It has been included in the regular College experiments for the past thirteen and in the co-operative experiments over Ontario in each of the past seven years. The average results for the thirteen -year period, in bushels of grain per acre per anaum, has been. 86 for the 0. A. C. No. 72 and 75afor the Banner. In each of the past nine . years the 0. A. C. No...72 variety has given a higher yield per acre in the average results than ahy other kind with which it was tested throughout Ontario. With - In the past four years the standing field crops of the 0. A. C. No. 72 oats have taken from three to four times as many firgt prizes as those of the Banner variety in the Field ,Crop Competitions throughout Ontario. The grain of the 0. A. C. No. 72 var- iety of oats has taken the Champion- ship prize at the Ontario Provincial Minter Fair -in each of the pagf five T he 0. A. C. Not 3 variety of oats isse bout ten days earlier than the Bar mer, produces a medium length of s traw and grain which has a lower per tentage of hull than any other nanned variety tested at the College. Jac Is particularly well suited for mix- ing with' barley when it is desirable to grow these two grains in corabin- iticin; a practice now being followed by many stock farmers throughout the pro‘vince. Barley. --Forty years ago the Com- mon Six -rowed barley was grown almost exclusively in Ontario. In 1889 the Mandscheuri barley was tested at the College for the first time. After proving its worth in an experimental way it was distributed hroughout Ontario, through the me- . Fa Iriiiers ttentionc. Two thousand red, cedar fence posts that will sell at 25c 350 and 40c each; also 9 and 10 ft. 'anchor posts. ' WIRE FENCING • Six -strand wire fence at 42c perenclana nun of the Experimental Union, and Seven -strand wire fence, 47c per rd. became generally grown over the pro_ Eight -strand wire fence, 53e per rd. vince. This was a decided improve; meat over the former variety. D. L. & W. Scranton Coal. Buy your next winter's supply before prices advance. ' The 0.,A. C. No.• 21 barley orig- inated at the Ontario Agricultural. College from a single seed in 1903. As the then popular Mandscheuri was an improvement over the Common Six -rowed so the 0. A. C. No. 21 is an improvement over the Mend- scheuri. Largely through the intro - eduction of these varieties the average yield per acre of barley has increased 20 per cent, in the last eighteen years as compared with the eighteen years previous. Spring Wheat. -The Wild Goose variety of spring wheat which has been grown in Ontario for many years is a high yielder of grain. It is, however, a durum wheat, and is more suitable for -the manufacture of macaroni than for bread production. The Marquis variety of spring wheat is a hybrid which originated at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, from crossing the Calcutta Hard Red and the -Red Fife. It is not only a good yielder, but it is a wheat of excellent quality for bread production, and one which is increas- ingsubstantially in the Western ProVinces and in Ontario. In the Experiments at Guelph it occupies fourth place in average yield per acre of twelve varieties of spring wheat grown for flour production over a period of six years. Winter Wheat -The Dawson's Golden Chaff variety of winter wheat was started from a single seed in 1881, and has been grown exten- sively throughout Ontario for many years. It has a stiff straw, beardless head, red chaff, and white -grain of only medium quality for bread pro- duction. It is, howeder, a high yielder and has been very popular with the farmers of Ontario. The 0. A. C. No. 104 variety of winter wheat originated at the On- tario Agricultural College as a cross between the Dawson's Golden Chaff and the Bulgarian varieties. It pos- sesses a tall comparatively stiff straw, bearded head, red chaff and red grain of good quality. It is a vigorous grower, and in the experiments at Guelph has given a larger yield per acre and has killed out less in the winter tha,n either of its parents. In the co-operative experimentikthrough- out Ontario- for the last four years t has proved decidedly the most pop- ular of the five' varieties tesied, and las headed the list in yield per acre , each of these 'years, It is generally- recognized that in comparatively new country such as Ontario there is a tendency for a radttal decrease in' crop production er acre owing to the natural tleple- ion of soil fertility.
