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." Cnarltr'-y— 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. c=7C—=o Greatest Export Increase farms will not be surpassed by those of any other. country. `Ontario is planning to, display the natural resources, of the Province in a 240 foot exhibit.. On view will be the products of farm, forest, and mine, Tourist possibilities, also,' will be featured." i 11ii 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.

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 3.49 showing that farmers are' mar. keting the great 'majority of their hogs within the desired weights. orb World's Grain Show at Regina Forecast As Complete Success "Indications point very definitely to the fact that the World's 'Grain Show and Conference at Regina, Jaly 24 to August 8, will be an -outstand- ing success," said Arthur •II.

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.
