The lemon County rep resentatives have not yet been ap pointed, but it .is expected they wil be in the near future. Those who do attend will have as their camp director, -Norman 0 Lindsay, superv�islor of community programs for the Ontario Depart- ment of Education. T. R. Hilliard, junior extension field mai for the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, announc'ed Mt Lindsay's appointment, which has been approved by C. D. Graham deputy minister of agriculture for the province. MT. Lindsey was formerly asso- ciated with :the Ontario Adult Educa- tion Board, and has participated in many Junior Fanner activities, including conferences at OAC. o Farmers Permitted 0 r of • • • s To Sell From Roadside Farmers throughout Ontario will be permitted to market their prod- ucts from roadside ;steeds on Sunday. according to Attorney -General Leslie Blackwell. 'But the regulation pre- venting wayside markets from oper- ating on Sunday remains unchanged. An amendment to existing regu• latiens governing sale of farm pro - duets on 'S'unday states that ihdivid- nal farmers, members of their fam- ilies or regular farm help malt'+ have a roadside stand open on Sunday. Mr. Blackwell said the regulation, as it was originally drawn up, was meant to stop commercialization on the •Sabbath day. "It has (become apparent, however, that the broad terms of the regulation prevent the individual t&armnee from marketing products of lois own farm, often of a perishable nature, on 'Sunday-" ' It is felt the Attorney -General's De - lineament 'should not consent to pios- eeution in such cases. The regulation affecting wayside markets was •aimed at "stopping this unfair competition with merchants in oities and towns." Although the regulation is within the jurisdiction of the Dominion government, the consent of the attorney -general of the provinie is required before pros- ecution can take place. Farm Implements Better But New Hard to Get The farm implement situation, like bhe automobile question, is improv- ing mproiwing but the improvement .is slow and I buying new machinery is stili far from being a simple matter. Comparison• can be carried even feather. The man who wants to buy a new car, for instance, usually finds that he can get one almost new by paying a little more. In addition, he •doesn't have to wait as long. Almost the same thing applies im the case of farm machinery. New tractors and other implements are coming ou the market but ere still herd to get, However, the farm- er with plenty of money to spend frequently finds that he can pick ap second-hand implements with a lot less delay. As is the Ease with aut- omobiles, the price is often as high or higher than he would have to pay for now machinery. Tea Prices Increase 15 Cents Per Pound M NTON-NyzArs-plcoan INCREASE EXPECTED IN WHEAT, ACREAGE OF 10.15 PER CENT (By LeRoy G. Brown, Clinton, Agricultural Representative for Huron County) A recent report issued . by. John MacLeod of the ,Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, shows that < an in- crease of from 10-15 pet cent•in.the fall'heat acres abe sown, w to g xY this fall is expected. Winter wheat may follow sod, fallow, inter -tilled crops or, peas. If sod is ploughed down ,it must be done early, and the field must be thoroughly cultivated for ,everal weeke before seeding time in order to reduce the competition from grasses. Many a crap of winter wheat has been reduced by heavy stands of volunteer grass. Only fields that provide ,good natural drainage should be sown to winter wheat. Many soil types Lire seeded to this crop. On land which has been naan- tured or which has grown legumes, superphosphate at 250 to 300 lbs. per acre should be beneficial. Other- wise, a complete fertilizer such as 2-12-0 at 250 to 300 Ib. should be applied. On light soils, more potash in the fertilizer mixture is advisable, Nitrogen of the sail is the first element which has a bearing on protein content, hence_ the amount of Nitrogen and the timely availability of this element' in the soil er in treatments provided the -soil are of definite. importance. Phosphorus also has a definite effect on the maturing and ripening of wheat anei the setting and de- velopment of the kernel, hence wheat growers are interested in the up• keep of supplies of available phos- phorus where they wish to prodstee yields of good quality and quantity. Potash is +the third element which has a ,definite bearing on the strength of the •wheat plant, and especially on the filling of the ker. nes. Winter wheat seed should be thoroughly cleaned before planting, Seedling blights and stinking smut are controlled with mercurial dhasts applied at the rate of '/s ounce per bushel. Loose smut, however, is not controlled by this treatment. When this disease is troublesome, secure seed from a crop free from this disease. If this is not possible, a pertion of the -seed should be hot water treated, and sown on a :field isolated from other wheat crops, to provide stoat free seed for next year's crop. One variety of winter wheat which is known to be resistant to loose smut is Cornell 595. L have made mention of chi's variety on a pre- vious broadcast, and since then have received .several inquiries concerning the passibility of securing some of this seed for farmers of Huron Comity. L have contacted several seed growers who expect to have a moderate quantity of Cornell 595 seed for sale in a week or two, and would ask that anyione who wishes to secure some of this seed should contact .erre by phone or letter as soon as ,possible. This seed will. be inspected and the bags willbe sealed, so you may expect the price to be considerably more than that received for commercial grade fall wheat,— it fast I would estimate that it will cost just about twice as much as commercial wheat. Cornell 595 is a beardless variety with long nodding heads,, strong s'l'aw and soft white grain. It is an excellent yielder and as men- tioned before, Cornell is resistant to loose smut. o - Price of most popular brands of tea jumped 15 cents a pound over the weekend: The price inerease is uniform, and ,affects all brands. Blends previously retailing at 85 to 90 cents a piund will now sell at $et and $1.05. Better brands retail at $115. The price jump is general through- out Canada. One large tea company reported the new prices are effective far their brands everywhere in the country, +although repents from Van- couver indicated an average increase of 12 cents across Canada. The rise fro tea prices is due en- tireliy to the resumption of open world markets, et ' is explained by importers, Tit ez nob a government measure, there being .no longer any eeildn.g on prices. At the outbreak of war in the Far East, the govern- ments of Ceylon and India discontin- ued public •auctions of tea. These governments bought the tea them- selves :ands allocated it to the various world! markets during the "ear years. This had a ' astabilizieg effect on prices, it is explained. ,Since January, however, India and Ceylon have permitted the reburn of open markets and tea importers in Bois 'country have had to bid for tea in a world :market or do without, Tea importers say they bane been absorbing the increase in costs since the fust of the year, but that they are no longer, able to do it. 0 EIGHT CALVES AT ONCE A world recon*d for bovine breed- ing was established at the farm of Partisan Grassman, two miles east of Kitchener, when a grade Holstein delivered eight stillborn calves dur- ing the weekend. The belies of the dead calves were taken to the On- tario Agricultural College, Guelph, where they are to be preserved in alcohol, a FALL; WHEAT ACREAGE Because of the extremely wet spring tin pa'it0 of Eastern Canada, many .farmers will find it profitable to increase their aerenge of fall wheat. 0 EGG PRICES LOWER With the recent announcement' that Britain would mo longer require dressed poultry from Canada, poult- ry and, egg prices were unsettled creast of last 'week. Prices took a big drop over these which had remained fairly stcadly foe a number of weeks. a--'—•- The'agnicultinial 'show at the Cana- dian National Ebehibition Bias no equal anywhere. Every new develop - mane to aid the farmer its on display ed as well as the prodaets of farm, tee field and dlgeixy: tele World Wheat Shortage To Continue Next Year There's no sign that the world wheat shortage will be eased within the next year as most Western Gurop,ea' countries will be mare de- pendent on outside supplies than they were in 1946-47, the Dominion !emcee of Sbati'stics reported in a review of the wheat situation. Crops in Europe suffered severely during !tihe winter and such countries as til Fiance, in Italy, :ince, Berta Belgium, •the Netherlands and Denmark will be hard pressed to obtain satlpplie,s. On the supply side, the United. States is harvesting an all-time re- cord wheat crop and substantial ex- port quotas for tAlugust and Septem bet have already been established. Prospects'- for a large Oanadian era have cleterioratedi due to hot, dry weather over much' of the prairies. However, the outlook still as good' in maned of the Born ally heavy -yielding areas. Unofficial estimates place the 'more at 350,000,000 bushels, com- pared with 400,000,000 last year. The Argentine crop has been planted under favorable conditions but no acreage is available, Reports from Australia indicate that about 15,000,000 acres have been seeded and that crop prospects are s'atis d!aotbry. 0— Trips to Britain Planned For Plow Match Winners A trip to Bribain for the winner d runner-up. in the "Esse Champ - n" tractor plownnoes glass et the ternationael Plowing Match, to be October 17 at Hemlock Pare ims, near Kingston, again will be aided' by Imperial Oil Ltd.
