Sugar Beet Crop
Present indications are that the
sugar beet crop will yield well
above average this year, and have
a high sugar content. Preliminary
tests showed an average sugar con
tent of nearly 15% on September
1st, which is higher than at this
date for several years, Root de-
velopment was particularly good
during August and estimates now
place, production in excess of 10
tons per acre. With the high tem-
perature and humidity which pre-
vailed during the first week of
August In Sou Unrest ern Ontario
Leaf Steot began to appear- on
early planted fields. Fortunately
for the beet crop, :the weather be-
came cooler and less humid, so that

The Vegetable Crop

ception of frost •damage to vine
Crops in the Braford and South

humid weather earlier in the
season in Essex, Kent, and Lamb-
ton Counties caused considerable
dntuttge to the onion crop, resulliug

Plowing Match Next
Every farmer has an eye for a
nice plow team and a good piece
of plowing. He will .have all this
to his heart's content at the great
International Plowing Match to be

he will see the champion plowmelln
of Canada with their sleek and
steady plow teams. He will see

date farm machinery ever housed
under canvas --almost a mile of
"tented city," He will see demt-

of the reasons why every Ontario

Plow Weedy Pastures this Fall
"There are many old unprofitable
pastures -to be seen in the country-
side, heavily infected with weeds -
goldenrod, Canadian thistle, wild
carrot, etas .says Dr. 0, McConkey
of the 'Ontario Agricultural College,
and he eontinues.-These can be
improved 200 to 300% by (1) fall
'Plowing, (2) cropping for one or two
years to clean off weeds', (3) rais-
ing the soil fertility level, (4) seed-
ing to a well balanced pasture mix-
ture of legumes and grasses,
4f you have a weedy pasture
of this kind, plan to plow it this
fait and start the improvement plan
as outlined above, and it will re-
turn you many dollars of profit
over the present low producing
pasture,
Old pastures infested: with
weeds' like Canadian thistles, wild
=rot, etc., are a weed menace to
the community. Plowing and
clean cropping, and in some cases
summer fallowing, are the best
methods of getting rid of the weeds
and preparing suitable soil condi-
tions for seeding down to a profit-
able pasture mixture.
Mowing pastures, should; be more
widetiy practised in Ontario, When
the new pasture is established and
weeds begin to show, mow early
every season when the weeds are in
the first stages' of bloom. Most
weeds are readily killed at this
period of growth, ,The mower bar
should be fitted with adjustable
skids which raise the mower bar
about 6 inches, depending on the
roughness of the pasture. These
skids can be easily oracle by the
Local-hlacksmndtlt and are inex-
pensive,
nex,pensive,
When seeding down be sure that
the fertility level of the soil is'
high, especiaily in the materials
such as lire, phosphorous, and pot-
asJt. The best plan is to vend a
comliposife sample of the soil, tak-
en at ten different places across
the field, to the Soils Department,
Ontario Agricultural College, for
analysis. The report and sug-
gestions
usgestions from that department
will enable you to fertilize wisely
and economically according to the
fertility requirements of your soil
tyipe. Minerals, increase the chances
of securing a good catch of Seeds,
lower the perecentage of winter
killing of elle legumes, and what is
most important, increases the pro-
tein end material content of the
feed;
