Eastern Ontario—Seeding gener- ally has been considered delayed by wet weather, although in the Ot- tawa district almost an of the seed- ing intended to be sown up to the Present time has been done. In Northumberland and Prince, Edward counties a considerable amount of seeding was done on light soils dur. Ing four warm days at the beginning of May. On heavy soils 'along the lake front from Toronto east, prac- tica4ly no seeding of vegetables 1125 been done. In Peel ad York conn_ ties weather conditions Rave been favourable for seeding on Sandy land but frequent rains 'have pre- vented seeding on heavy and brach soils. Correspondents state there will be a large increase in the acreage devoted to canning crass such as tomatoes, peas, and corn, as there are te number of new can. ning factories opening in Eastern Ontario this year, Current Crop Report Spring seeding is about completed in most districts_, although in some areas excessive moisture has retard- ed the program. This is Particu- larly the case where the soil Is low or clay in nature.

The ninety acres of field crap experiment plots well include some interesting new things, and the magnificent grounds and gardens will be at their best, with hundreds of varieties of roses and other flow- ering shrubs and trees to be in- sesected and enjoyed, Besides these there will be many educational exhibits showing the work of various departments. VI::i- tors will have an opportunity to ask questions of the men en charge of (hese exhlhtts and to learn what is being done about mineral deficien- cy; about improvement of soils and the use of fertilizers; about trouble- some vests such as insect and nematodes; about pullorum disease in poultry and the most efficient metbods of feeding chicks; about off flavor in butter and the manurac- ture of blue cheese; and about many other important problems which the College is working 3n at the preent time_ Altogether it will be a great week for the farmers of Ontario and for the College. Last year more than 16,000 people visited the College during Farm and Houle Week, and more than 16,000 at other times during the summer. Already quite a number of groups have been at the College this year and a large number of others are booked for dates other than Farm and Home Week, Thus floes the College extend its services to the People of Ontario, and thus do the. People take advantage of that service. It is too good au oppor- tunity to be missed. THIS SPRANG we were d little late lu getting started at the seed- ing.

This should naturally be one of the best dells of grain, but what the worms have left 'won't be worth cutting. There is nothing unusual in wire worms eat- ing out a field or two of oats in any locality, but this is the first time we have ever had a field destroyed. What to do with this field at this time of year is a problem, There are only five acres, and something for Fall pasture will likely be tried. Then "growthy" weather means moisture and warmth, and these conditions are ideal for the rapid multiplication of those ferocious wee animals they call mosquitoes. They come 10 droves, and how they bite. They make those evening hours that should be the most pleas- ant in the day almost unendurable, as far as outside work or recreation is concerned. • • IN R.ECT years June has be- come a month of field days for the Ontario livestock farmer, There is, of course, the long-established Farm and Home Week at the 0.

If 'there is more than this the yield will be higher and the quality of the grain will be better, Phosphor- ous, or phosphoric acid, gives the crop power to take root, and abun- dant root system mean0 that the wheat crop is equipped to slake maximum use of the plantfood in bhe soil, Many Ontario soils are running short of available phosphoric acid. At least three things have caused this shortage, - 1st Heavy grain craps tbat have been harvested year by year, longer than you can remember, have drawn heavily upon the suPpyl of available Phosphates in the soli, Some manure may have been retuned to the soil but manure is relatively weak in phosphates, because farm animals take this element from their feed to build bone, muscle and blood. 2nd—(Soils that are becoming acid in reaction—or sour—lack lime which soluble phosphates may combine till called upon by crops, Soluble phosphates on acid soils tend to form camrbivations with iron and aluminium, The product of such combinations is of very little or no use to growing Drops. 3rd --Sometimes very heavy ale.
