This will 4 -11 -AN T[`I!'1 TT t •11T1r ur1�T!'1 require deep ploughing for Sow. Thistle --Canada. Thistle -sand -Bind weed and shallow- ploughing for Twitch. The field should then be left in the rough state as long as dry weather prevails. ' By this method surface soil is separated from sub- soil, moisture is cut off and roots which are exposed to the- sun are de. stroyed. The cultivator may then be used to bring any roots than re- main to ,the --surface. No green growth should be permitted when fighting perennials. Fields which have been treated in this manner may be ploughed late in the\ fall and left in the rough over winter or ridg- ed up. The ridging up will assist the frost in killing any roots which re- main and wll permit "earlier spring cultivation. The use of the disc harrow on weeds with„ creeping rootstocks is not, recommended as it will cut the root up into small segments each of whieh_will start a new plant and thus increase the .infestation. Eradicating Perennial Weeds The roots of perennial weeds such as Canada -thistle and field bindweed often penetrate the ground to depths of four or five feet. The roots of these- weeds can send up -new shoots when they are cut off to depths of 13 inches. Deep, ploughing, therefore will not eradicate perennial weeds of this type. One methoeof eradicating deep rooted perennial weeds is to keep down the top growth by fre- quent cultivation and, exhaust the food stored in the roots. Another is to "apply a 10 per cent. solution of sodium chlorate at the rate of ' ne gallon per square rod. Finishing Poultry for the Market The general purpose or heavy weight breeds of poultry are best suited for crate feeding and best re- sults can be expected only when strong, . vigorous sturdy markets de- mand a light coloured skin, those feeds that tend to produce this should be favoured. Fortunately home grown grains are jpst what are needed. Oats barley, buckwheat and wheat are all suitable and are best fed in combina- tion, mixed to a batter with sour milk. Excellent results may be. at- tained by the feeding of elevator screenings, and that unmarketable potatoes, . fed in' ., conjunction with homegrown grains, not only produce economical gains, but flesh of the very highest quality. Buyin eeder Cattle With the alb n ante of pasture and hay, cattle should be fel this fall and winter fairly reasonably. On- some farms pasture is going to waste at the present time for lack of cattle. Barns are full of hay and hay stacks are plentifuul. This is not likely to have much market value except through_ cattle. Those reeding cattle this fall or winter might ad- visedly be scoutng around for ani- mals of good conformation and show- ing feeding qualities. Good feeder cattle are none too plentiful. There are too many of the plain, common kind.' To delay securing a supply of cattle may result in having to accept the plainer kind. s. Good cattle that are available are being picked up rapidly., When buying cattle atten- tion should be paid to the quality, as animals that show- `some breeding usually make better use of the feed than do 'the scrubs. Value :of`7Certified. Seed- Commercial eed Commercial potato growers whose stock is infested with diseases or contains mixed varieties would find it decidedly advantageous to secure certified seed. It is , not the chief purpose of the Department of Agri- culture to encurage potato growers to use certified seed with a view to having their crops inspected for cer- tification purposes, because every potato grower has foot the necessary patience and time, or suitable iota- tr ii -and' equipment, for "grooving reg. tified seed. The object of the depart- ment rather is to have growers use the best seed obtainable for their commercial crop, and help to keep down to a minimum destructive plant diseases, with their' 'resultant serious effect on yields. The use of certified potato seed ' on many farms would double thewields now being obtained. Raspberry Planting During the month of September, or even as late as mid-October, rasp- berry canes may be planted with as much success as in the early .spring before the canes have budded out. The distance at which the rows and plants are to be placed depends lar- gely upon the type of training to be followed. = In as erns- Canada, - two - systems are in general use, the hill system and the hedge -row. In the hill system the plantsb are set at least four by four feet apart, which per- mits, with care, the use of 'a single horse cultivator either way. Where land is cheaper and the labor higher, the distance may be increased to seven feet, permitting the ,use of a double cultivator and eliminating most of the hand hoeing. If the hedgerow system its adopted,_,: the_ rows may be placed six feet apart, or wider, and the plants set three feet apart in the row. If the .Plants are checked in' rows so that they all come opposite, a' single horse cultiva- tor may be 'used the first season and thus cut down maintenance costs by a considerable amount. ' • Sugar Beet Crop Early in August it ' became appar- ent that the sugar beet crop was suf- fering from the extremely hot wea- ther and high humidity encountered during July. Leaf Spot or "leaf bight" became general during the month and was reported present in. every district. This disease, when severe, results, in °.a reduced sugar content and greatly retards root growth. A considerable percentage of the earlier planted fields have produced a new set of leaves from the centre of the crown. This new growth leads to anextended crown which must be taken off as "tare'; and also causes a lower sugar content Recent tests. on sugar content indicate from 1 to 2 per cent. less than at this same time last year. The crop may im- prove, however, with cooler weather and bright sunshine,- and . say yield considerable more sugar than at pre- sent _indicated. ' The tonnage esti- mates have had to be revised down- ward and present.indications are for a 10-tonrather than a 12 -ton per acre crop• The total yield will there- fore approximate 400,000 tons ' as compared with 25,6,000 ,tons in 1934. After -Harvest Cultivation - _ For the control--of--such persistent - perennial weeds as Bladder Campion, Chicory and any weeds with deep tap rootsdeep ploughing is recommen- ded in mid -summer or cultivation both ways. Roots must be cut off clean and brought to the surface -where the sun will assist in destroy- ing them.. The disc harrow is not the most effective implement in the con- trol of weeds of this type. Good ploughing followed by thorough cul- tivation using broad shares on the cultivator is essential:- - The, "Dry Cleanng Method" has proven the most effective in the con- trol of weeds with creeping root- stocks. Included in this class are four well known perennials—Peren- nial nisi Sow Thistle, Canada Thistle, Twitch and Field Bindweed. Imme- diately after the crop has been re- moved the field should be ploughed The Desperate Strain Of TJje ' Poor Dyspeptic s • Ther aro few people vibe escape trouble ,with their stomaeh in some form or other.

Protecting 'Potatoes From Frost In order to prevent losses of pota- toes from low temperatures, the crop should be harvested before the ad- vent of heavy frosts. The potatoes should be stored in rooms having a temperature between 35 and 40 de- grees P., thus preventing them from turning- sweet and the development of necrosis. When potatoes are being transported during the winter months, they should be carefully, pro- tected from. frost. When it is known that potatoes have been undercooled do nothandle them until it is certain that the temperature is above freez- ing point. )Ztecommended Varieties of Oats Variety tests of Oats made at the Central Experimental • Farm over a long period have shown that Banner and 'Victory still hold the lead in the ' medium late :variety. class in this district. Legacy, a medium early variety,, has yielded - exceptionally well in comparisbn with later stand- ard varieties.' Where very early var- ieties are required, Alaska has long been recommended as one of the best. The new, early variety Cartier, which has been accepted by the Canadian Seed Growers' Association as a regi- stered variety, is considered as being equally good and slightly Higher yielding than Alaska in this district.
