A Valuable Exhibit
Ontario fruits and vegetables re-
ceived valuable advertising, in the
opinion of Charles E. Broughton of
the Department, as a result of the
Ontario Growers' Markets Council
installing . a booth at the Canadian
Fruit and Vegetable Jobbers' Con-
vention, held in the Royal York Ho-
tel, Torbnto, January 4, 5 and 6. The
Markets Council display served to
give brokers and jobbers, from all
parts of the Dominion, a splendid
idea of the products Ontario is cap-
able of producing. -
Time to Purchase Seed
"The quality of the 1933 potato
crop," said J. T. Cassin -of the De-
partment, "will depend to a large ex-
tent, on the quality of seed planted.
"Growers who have not selected
seed for plantings next spring, should
not lose any time in doing so, as the
supply may be limited by that time.
"At present, the supply of Irish
Cobblers is small. There is consid-
erable quantity of Rural New York-
ers (Dooley) variety. It should be
remembered, however, that much of
the certified Dooley crop is being
marketed for table stock."

Export Market Assured
For Ont. Fruit Growers
"Ontario's export to Great Britain
of stone fruits such as pears and
plums, augurs well for the future,"
stated P. W. Hodgetts, director
Fruit Branch. "This year, for the
first time, 113 cars of pears and
plums were exported to British ports.
which represents very considerable
success for initial shipments.
"Prices, on the whole, were satis-
factory, except in the case of some
of the later pear shipments."
Mr. Hodgetts said that plans are
now being laid for organization work
among growers; also, to arrange for
the central packing and cold storage
necessary to increasing the move-
ment of fruit during the coining sea-
son.

Shown in Ontario Tobacco
According to official figures, ex-
port rnarketings of Ontario tobacco,
last year showed the greatest in-
crease of perhaps any farm crop.
In 1931 the exports were approxi-
mately 6,5000,000 pounds. The total
for 1932 will probably be well in
excess iof 10,000,000 pounds. Prices
' to the English buyers havo 'been a-
bout the same for both years, but re-
turns to the producers show a de-
crease, largely on account of the fluc-
tuating exchange situation.
The British market, due to the ex-
tension of the British Empire, pre-
ference for a ten year period, is
showing an increasing tendency to
absorb larger and larger quantities
of Canadian tobacco.

the Dominion showed considerable
improvement over any previous year.
Not only was there an increase in
the number of select bacon hogs pro-
duced, but there was in addition an
increase in bacon hogs- and a lower
percentage of butchers. The butcher
grade, as graded, showed the refin-
ing influence of bacon breeding in ,e
large percentage of hogs. The aver-
age wt. of all hogs was approximat-
ely four pounds heavier than the pre,
violas year. The percentage of lights
was reduced from 9.42 per cent to
5.34 per cent. The percentage of
heavies and extra heavies was only

CSE
EXETER: Probably one of the
Oldest, if not the oldest, active black-
smiths in Canada has retired from
business here in the person of James
Dignan, who at the age of 85 has
laid •down; his tools. Seventy-three
years ago' he learned his trade in
this village. After learning his trade
he spent some time in London, IIarn-
ilton and other places, returning' te
this county, and while in Bayfield
made many shoes for oxen. Each
foot required two small shoes. Long
after oxen went out of fashion he
made a pair to keep as a relic for
later generations. Over 60 years
ago he bought out his former em-
ployer in Exeter and has been stead-
ily at his trade here ever since. The
past 35 years he has spent at the
same stand. His son, E. M. Dignan
who for many years has been his
partner, has also restired, and the
business has been sold to H. Horton,
of this village. Both members of
the, old firm are still active and ar-
ranging things for the new owner.
Experimental Work
At the recent 54th annual meet-
ing of the Ontario Agricultural and
Experimental Union at the 0. A. C.
Guelph, W. J. Squirrel', professor of
Field Husbandry and Secretary of
the Union, announced that 2,500 reg-
ulated co-operative experiments, in-
volving the distribution of 10,000 lots
of seeds, were conducted throughout
Ontario in 1932, and the percentage
of good results received was the
highest in the history of the Associa-
tion. The distribution and the pro-
pagation of the best seed :of the most
suitable varieties is fundamental to
successful agriculture," Prof. Squir-
vell declared. "No livestock or mar-
kets improvement program can reach
ultimate success unless we not only
maintain but continue to iicipreve
the yield per acre and the quality of
orops we grow." Dr. R. Harcourt,
Professor. of Chemistry at O.A.C.,
briefly outlined some experimental
work with fertilizers which has been
conducted over the last four years,
during' which time nearly a thousand'
farmers, have co-operated and dem-
onstration tests have been conclude
on nearly 4,000 blocks of land. Prof-
W. J. Bell then dealt in detail with
the results of experimental tests
with 16 leading crops. One of the
chief points established was that
high phosphate, high potash fertil-
izers have given best result on alf-
alfa on both light and heavy soils.
With potatoes the average increase
from fertilizers for the past four
years has been 51.3 bushels per acre.
In 1932 a 4-8-10 fertilizer, at : a cost
of $7.82 an acre, gave an increase of
57.8 bushels. The next highest in-
crease was made with an 0-1210 fen-
tilizer. 'Gains with turnips were made
at a cost front 3 to 4 1-2 cents per
bushel. Interesting data was alsc
given concerning mangers, corn and
other crops.
HENSALL. The school board held
a meeting in the council chamber
last week and following are the of-

board had a very successful year
School inspectors' reports for end of
year were encouraging, giving all
the teachers high credit for good
work. The school -rooms are in ex-
cellent condition and the board looks
forward to a prosperous year. '
EXETER: The Exeter Opera
House was the scene on Friday of a
merry party when members of Le-
banon Forest Lodge, A. F. & A. M..
were at home to their friends. Amid
surroundings beautifully decorate%
in rose and green the guests enjoyed
themselves at euchre, lost heir, oro-
kinole or checkers, according to in-
clination. Wor. Bro. George Lawson
and his assistant officers were hosts,
seeing that all had a full measure of
enjoyment. During the evening musi-
cal numbers were given as follows:
Vocal solos, Pearl Wood, Clayton
Sims; duet, Helen Dignan and Rev
A. E. Elliott; violin solo, George
Grant; instrumental duet, Mrs. H, C
Carey and Pearl Wood; Dorothy
Taylor, juvenile elocutionist of Exe-
ter, a pupil of Owen Smiley, of Tor-
onto, delighted the guests, who num-

nished the music.
