Michel, Hertfryn Albert Traviss, Walton News and Information For the Busy Farmers (FURNISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE) 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 Leaf Blight did not progress rapid - Iv. In general the erop has been free from disease and the beets show healthy green tops, The Vegetable Crop In, Western Ontario weather and motature conditions during the past month have been generally favour- able for good growth, with the ex- ception of frost •damage to vine Crops in the Braford and South Simcoe districts. Heavy rains anl humid weather earlier in the season in Essex, Kent, and Lamb- ton Counties caused considerable dntuttge to the onion crop, resulliug in heavy loss by skin and heart rot ttnitidh may materially affect the storing quality, The late potato ern' is comparatively free from blight and quality very good, However, the tuber set Is below normal and production will be below average Tomatoes -have improved consid- erably in quality, In Eastern Ontario tomatoes +4..+...04,..d•rw.v......

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.
