ANNUAL TWEETING OF CENTRALIA 'FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY The first' annual meeting of the Ceutralia Farniers' Co-operative Co., Was held in Centralia Jan. 12, 1922: The meeting was la,rgelY attended. Mr. Geo. E .Hicks, sectyltreaie., pre- sented the annual report which was • adopted. .„ Messrs. Victor Snell and Homer Buswell presented the auditors' re- port which was adopted. The annual report in detail was conclusive evidence of the great. ben - fits to be derived from co' -operative business. - The gross profits on the turnO-ver for the year was 2.71 per cent. This would seem to the average business man a -very narrow -margin of profit But with the immense turnover it was ,sufficient to pay 7 per- cent. dividend on capital share stock, pay all overheadexpensesand also leave ,a very substantial cash reserve N'ililiC11 will he added to the present working. capital of the company. The pros- perous and sound financial conditior of the, Centralia Farmers' Co-oper- ative Company is 'ample proof of the business and executive ability of itt officers. The prosident, Mr. Wm. J. Robinson, is deserving of great cre- dit for the present organization. HE has given unsparingly of his timE and energy to club and compam Inisiness. The Meeting tendered tile ore'aident a very hearty vote of thanks and also a small token of ap- preciation for his service. The sec- USING ICE ON THE FARM Helpful Advice as to Storing of a Good Supply, Dairy Products Must Be Kept A Variety of lelans for Ilandling Ice ---Good Drainage In the 'Ice Rouse NecessarY. (Contributed by Ontario Department or A.gticulture, Toronto,) rt is a very rare occurrence i Ontario that the winter weather is not cold enough to make plenty of j.ce on our lakes, rivers, small streams, and ponds. We care there- fore, feel pretty sure of a good crop of ice this winter. Ice is the only other means of cooling» on farnis, except in the case Of very large dairies where the use of a mechanical system may be war- ranted. The one chief, obstacle to proper cooling of milk and cream by ice that many farmers meet is the lack of a convenient supply in their Immediate vicinities. This may- not be an insurmountable diftleulty, how- ever; as there is always the possibil- ity of -ice being shipped in during the winter and stored for use in the summer. Dairy Products Must 13e Rept Cool. If the quality of our dalrY Products Is ever to become supreme in the world it will be necessary for the producers of milk to get the natural heat out of the milk as u' kl possible after it is abstracted from the cows. This will mean more effi- cient methods of cooling than most farmers have to -day. Then would ice be required by all dairy farmers, and they would have to secure it either from nearby bodies of water, if pres- ent, or through some suable organ- ization shipping it in as referred to before. The superior article,selling at better prices would likely pay the producers to ship in ice if it were necessary. Many farmers now have a household refrigerator or small cold storage plant for keeping the daily food for the table pure, sweet, and fresh, and never fail to store ice for this purpose alone whether need- ed for other purposes or not. They find by experience that this practice is worth while. If much milk is pro- duced on the farm, so much greater the need for storing some ice. The Problem Deserves Consideration • The problem of storage should be considered carefully and plans decid- ed upon well in advance of the har- vesting of the ice, as it may be neces- sary to make repairs to the present storage non -se, or a new one mai' he needed. Construction work on the farm is more easily and cheaply done in good weather, so it is desirable to get the ice storage ready for the next crop of ice before the wintry weather begins, or just as soon as the fall work will permit. It may be necessary to do some of the work right away, e.g., concrete work, and leave the rest until latee, in all prob- ability until the freeze-up drives men and teams off the land. - Mans of Storage Vary. The kind of storage for the ice crop will vary with the conditions on the farm, and the ideals and tastes of the farmer himself. One thing is certainly true, namely, that the Stor- age need not be elaborate in con-- struction and costly in order to be ,? efficient. Many farmers have used for years such inexpensive and sim- pie storages as a large bin made of c old boards and planks and located in g some well sheltered place, such as under an open shed, in mow -of barn, 1- or in corner of woodshed, a simple c single wall lean-to on the shady side ° of a building, an old abandoned,silo, s or any convenient enclosure well pro- n tected from the sun's direct rays. The P form and style of the storage for the ice does not matter materially pro- in vided the following named conditions c are faithfully fulfilled. These con: 11 ditions apply to any kind of ice s storage house, and require special e emphasis, as usually some of them n are frequently overlooked. Note care- s fully what they are: Pretection from n sun's rays, plenty of some material s P001' conductor of heat about the r e on all sides, top and bottom, good ti rculation of air over the ice bin st i.e., between the top of the ice and any roof that may be' above it. In other words religiously avoid the - closed attic or loft 'condition in hot weather because stagnant air under a closed roof becomes very hot, and so heat will naturally" pass dOwn through the covering over the ice and melt it very fast. Good Drairiage a Necessity. Another condition is good draia- age, either natural or artificial, un der the ice pit, as wa'.er backing up or failing to get away rapidly from the ice melts it quickly. Another, air Should be kept from getting in at the bottom. Still another, cakes of ice should be packed in the hells° on a cold frosty da ye and no sat -dust should be put between them, only around the outeides next the walls, but small Openings between cakes should be Tilled as well as possible with dry snow or fine piecee, Of 1CO.

Fortunately, while there are quite a number of essential Parts to the balanced diet of a plant; there are only three or four that it has. diffi- culty in getting, and, of these again there are two that are more fre- quently defieient than others. Thee are nitrogen and ephosphoric ac! There is a great store of the for- mer in the gaseous form In the air around us, as much as approximately 70,0 0 0.0 0 0 pounds over every acre of land. Yet, because the plant takes its nitrogen in a soluble form through the roots of the plant, this inert, gaseous nitrogen is of no use until it is taken into the soil and rendered available. Among otner methods -of getting this nitrogen into the soil, nature has provided that E- we grow legumes, such as clover, pea,s, etc., we will get some of that nitrogen built ieto the plant Then 011 the decay of the accumulated vegetable matter from these and other plants, the nitrogen is left in the form that is of use to plants, This means that •decaying veg-etable matter in the soil is the main source of nitrogen as a -food for farm crops other than legumes. We ina.-y be quite sure that if the soil is low in decaying vegetable matter there will be a small amount of ,nitrogen. With- out plenty of available nitrogen we cannot get the abundant growth of leaf and sem that is tecessary; ne- cessary, because it is in the leaf that the carbon dioxide taken from the air is built up into sugars, stared and other compoimds of like nature and that anything that limi s the size of the leaf just as surely limits the plant's ability to make and store' these compounds. Nitrogen forces big leaf and stem growth, hence i great value in crop production. - The decaying 'eegetable matter, ' however, does more than furnish ni- trogen; it improves the physical con- dition of the „soil, thus making 11 easier to work. It increases the abil, ity of the.soil ro hold water, thereby insuring better returns in dry wen - her, ancl in its decay furnishes acids vhich help to bring, insoluble plant ood into an available condition These are strong' siatements to make bout any constituent ot the soil, ut they show the importance cf rowing catch crops to plough down O frequently as possible in the rota - ion.

Nitrogen an he got .from the air by legum- bous plants, but the phosphorus upply in the soil can be supplement - d only by adding, some form of ma - tire or fertilizer. The supply in the oil is comparatively small, and is aturally held in an insoluble form, o that losses by leaching may be educed to a Minimum. So firmly is le phosphorus held, that in our tidy of the soils of the Province, we find that atter nitrogen, no plant food constituent that may be added will give so decidedly good results as phosphorus. This is especially true when applied for the cereal grains and turnips. On fall wheat, 400 pounds of acid Phosphate per acre has doubled the yield, and hasie slag , on heavy soils has given even bet- tor results. On soils fairly rich in vegetable matter, and thus well sup- plied with nitrogen, there is usually no need of supplementing the gen- eral manuring with anything but the phosplia,te, the exception being when tall wheat has Wintered poorly and is having a hard time to make growth in a cold baekward spring. 'Then an application of nitrate of soda at the -Tate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre on the poorer parts of the field Will usually pay well. - Turnips have dillicatity in ahsbrb- iug phosphates, hence although tho ground is infually well manured for this czop, it will pay to add three or four hundx•ed pOunds of acid Phosphate per acre.
