It has' been shown also, so that apple a trees Pn will grow on so-called poor soils and will give '0 od results r f r g � 0 P A eel n y managed. Soil drainage,.' how- ever, is an important factor• in re- lation to tree growth and 'produc- tiveness. Fruit trees require • a good range for root developement and this desirable condition does not ob- tain on pearly drained soil. It is thus seen 'that for permanent and profitable results the soil for ap- ples hid other fruit' trees as. well should be deeply and thoroughly drained by natural or artificial means. best substitute for weaning pigs. ie .Pigs fed tankage instead of skin d milk: may not make Io ui Y to as ,: az q z d od gars ran id Barin 'the first xtt s north g after a weaning as pigs` fed on skim milk, but will be much more thrifty than pigs fed grain alone. Tankage /nay be e m' rx d wit h•aiz tat the e ra e of five Pourds to 95 pounds of grain for the first week after weaning, increas- ing them to from seven -to ten pounds in 100 pounds of feed mixture until the pigs reach a weight of from 50 to 60 pounds. The small pigs may be allowed to help 'themselves to tank- age if it is placed in a small self - feeder rather than mixing it with the grain. Value, of Lime It has been found through ex- periments over a period of the past 25 years that lime has direct value to apples trees. The nature of the root system of the apple, penetratingfairly deep into the soil, enables the tree to obtain all the Bine it requires from the sub- soil. The apple, furthermore, is a• plant which prefers a slightly acid sell and does best under these con-' ditiens. However, lime is, of indirect value because it enables the fawn er to grow leguminous cover crop in the orchards and• thereby sup ply organic matter and nitrogen which are the two constituents ab solutely essential for the maximal production of fruit. A Useful Bulletin "Paints and painting" is the title of a bulletin that has nothing to do with the compact and powder puff. While it tells abort improving the appearance it deals in the appearance of inanimate objects such as farm houses, barns and such like. Hoard's Dairyman declares it to be one of the most complete discussions of the sub- ject it has ever seen. Yonwould be interested in Bulletin 841, "Paints and Painting„' published by the Ont- ario Agriculture College, Guelph. Home Mixing of Fertilizer The home mixing of commercial - fertilizers for tobacco has certain ad- vantages over the use of ready -mixed " fertilizers.' The cost of home -mixed An Important Discovery Ontario farmers wiII probably be saved many thousands of doI- lars by a discovery made by Dr. G. Stevenson of 0. A. C., stated the Hon. John S. Martin to the agricul- tural comtnittee of the legislature recently. Dr. Stevenson has found that a certain condition of pigs and sheep making them unfit for mar- keting has been caused by worms. This is an entirely new angle and an important discovery from the farmer's standpoint, "The condi- tions are general across the prov- ineo," said Hon. Mr. Martin. "There have been large numbers of sheep and pigs that weren't fit for the market and the farmers didn't know what was the matter with them. Dr. Stevenson has found that these animals are filled with worms. If not checked, this condi- tion will ga right through the farm Yards and affect the chickens and other poultry and animals. Tests and experiments are being made to cure this condition of worms," Weekly Crop Report The most recent weekly erop re- port at hand concerns chiefly the matter of live stock and .the milk situation., In Brant cattle, on feed aro reported to be fewer than us- ual, Dufferin reports a great in- terest in the breeding of hogs with requests for good quality brebding stock. Seed oats of No, 1 grade =ire selling for $1.00 per bushel. Cows are in good condition in Dundas County and at a recent sale grade Holsteins averaged around $100 per head, A plentiful supply of apples is indicated in Durham with lowered prices for eggs. Es- sex reports a surplus in the milk supply, which is becoming a prob- lem. This is the case also with Frontenac. In Glengarry live stock is iu poor cdnditien due to scar- city of food and poor pasturage last fall. Purebred live stock is commanding good prices in Hal- ditnand. Pall wheat is looking green and fresh in Huron and a good supply of red' clover is indicated in. Lambton. A big demand has obtained for certified seed potatoes in Leeds. When calves are getting skimmed milk with eiover or alfalfa hay, a very good grain mixture is 800 pounds' ground oats, 300 pounds corn meal and 100 pounds linseed oil meal. Some prefer rolled oats to ground and others use m commercial calf feed. The main thing, is to grow the calves • that ire later to take their place in the :herd. The Weed Campaign An intensive campaign against weeds in. the province of Ontario has been inaugurated for this year. By an 'order in. council, the Reeds Act has been changed as to regulations and in future no member of a municipal' council or toad foreman or superin- tendent may-bd appointed weed in. specter. Some of the lesser weeds will be overlooked this year and the aim will be to concentrate on the real pests. ' Early Buying PaYs The poultryman who goes to buy cockerels early in the season will not only have a larger selection to choose from but will be able to obtain them at a more conservative price, The habit a putting l t i 'matters s off to the 1 g last moment often results in securing. fowl that are not entirely, satisfac- tory for the price paid. Another .ati- vanta e i 1 g it early bu in is that the y g poultryman dan'be surer of the birds that be watts a4 this time of the year as the early Maturing birds will show up to a .greater advantage than: later: in the season. , Early buying also al.. lows the cockerels to bee -eine accus- tomed to the farm thereby increasing their usefulness. A bird will. seldom, prove satisfactory -as a breeder when he has but 1•eeently been -ridded to the flock: Tankage For 'Weaning Prigs. Tankage is recommended as the fertilizers is considerably less than ready -mixed brands, also the grower knows exactly what fie is using, not only the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, but the origin of these ingredients. . The mixing should be done on a level surface such as a barn floor or a specially. constructed 'mixing box. The ingredients should bespread out and all lumps broken • before mixing is done. The whole batch is then thoroughly mixed by repeated shovelling. Not -more than a tan should' be mixed in one bateh and it should be applied to the land within 24 hours of its preparation. Need Glenner Sail and Good Seed In spite of the fact that official re- ports indicate that over a period of years there is no decline in crop yields, there are still many districts where the impression prevails that the harvests are not what they used to be, A case in point is in W,eIling- ton County, where tate agricultural representative has found that there are many farmer's- who inc not satis- fied with results in recent years and are sending samples of seed oats to be tested. This dissatisfaction may be clue in part to the short crop of 1929 when lack of moisture cut the yields almost everywhere, a seasonal condition which should not give the impression that either soil or seed have rut) Out. There aro now avail- able varieties of wheat, barley and oats that outyield the other. sorts, but even the best 'selected seeds can not give resnts if the soil is not in con- 'dition or if the fields are overrun with weeds. Makes 1000 -Mile Tour Farmers in Ontario will be given. free information, advice and litera- ture by experts with regard to their Soil prcbiens. J. A. Caroli, markets branch director, recently left Toronto in charge of the Ontario Department of Agriculture farm train for a 1000 mile trip though the province. . The train of three cars will make approx- imately 55 stops during this sixth an- nual tour from Feb. 18th to April 23rd. Information on wheat control, utilization of horsepower, fertilizing problems and other matters will be dispensed. along the road. Bovine Tuberciosis Farmers are urged to take advan- tage of the provisions made by the Dominion._Government, to have their cattle tested for tuberclosis. Bach municipaity, by a petition signed by two-thirds of the cattle owners, there- in, may have a veterinary test their herds for tuberclosis, and all animals found infested will be shipped' away, and the proceeds given to the owner, together with a bonus of $400 per head for grade cattle and up to $100 for purebred animals. This would ef- fectively enitdicate tuberclosis from the restricted areas thus formed, with little or no loss to the owner of the stock, "Old Dobbin" Replaced. It is interesting to. note the de- crease of "Old Dobbin" and the in- crease of. the "Iron Horse" particu larly on time farms in the prairie pro- vinces of MVianitaba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There are, according to a recent estimate, a total of 66,220 tractors in operation on the 248,162. Canadian Prairie • farms, 14,557 of which were purchased but last year. In Manitoba there are 12,346; in Sask- atchewan, 35,083,and in Alberta 18,- 791 farm tractors. No figures are available for Ontario but it is doubt- ful if this province eau even begin to compare with the western prairie provinces for numbers of this type on machinery.. I ,umbar d r Mutton The eonsnmption of lamb and mut- ton. le Canada is showing a rapid in- crease. During the year ending last March, upwards s oR 40,000 more sheep and lambs were slaughtered in . in- spected packing, houses, than during the previous year. The totals were; 1,008,835 cattle; 640,994 sheep, and 2,458,704 logs.. 'however, there was a decrease in the nulnber .of cattle and hogs slaughtered at these abbe - ...thins. The packers, are said • to be making increased efforts to improve the quality of the ,products they: turn. out. More of. the .finished and pre- pared ineats ready for the table are beingremanufactured, looking to the development of the home market.

ELECTION BUDGET KEENLY AWAITED THROUGH COUNTRY - /Ottawa, Maieh 3rd, (Special to The News-Record)—It did not take more than the first day of debate hi the present session of Parliament to strengthen opinion that an election is contemplated before fall. The Prime Minister indicated that the budget will provide an ample issue, though he did not intimate the • course which that document will take. Probably more interest attaches to the 1030 budgetet than to any si ce 1896. The budget before g of an election is ahyays of unusual interest: Major changes affecting taxation are saved for it. This year it will also be the Bast. budget to be presented by ' a Western Finance Minister, lion. C. A. Dunning. Another Westerner, Hon. My. Bennett, of course, was one-time Minister of Finance but not for a sufficient period to bring down a budget. While not a. radical of extreme views, Mfr. Dunning is hardly re- garded as being as conservative as either of his immediate predecessors, Mr. Robb and Mr, Fielding. Under normal conditions there would be a 'disposition to look for some down- ward reduction of tariffs on im- plements of production and perhaps food and clothing, but conditions are not normal. Mr. Rabb had, indeed, urged the Tariff Board to carry out several inquiries` fon hitn, out of which it was expected some upward. reac1 ' nsti u ,Wheth- er ne is Might comer W fie- lz er or not his move in this: direction ' will be translated into action by his successor is problematical: Dairy interest have been pressing vlgorousiy for au increase 'of three cents per pound i the n h anti on nut- ter e b Y to x stn ao em: G v n eatpp o •te • i su ms n z Quebec say so inerelief . is •mssurok them.

S., AND CANADA , Ottawa, Match 3rd, (Special to The News-Record)—There is a dis- crepancy of almost $55,000,000 be- tween the volume of goods which the United Statesclaims to' hate sent to Canada in 1929 and the total for the same trade given by the Department of Trade and Commerce here. • The United States Department of Commerce has just issued a report showing a $34,000,000 gain over 1928 for 1929 to Canada, with a gross to this country of $948,501,227. Aim'ost 'simultaneously the Canadian Bureau of Statistics issued its return for 1929 on trade showing that Canada imported from the United States in that year $893,606,685. The latter figure is rile one on which the Department of National Revenue based its collections. - Eith- er the United States figures are er- roneous or there is a serious loop- hole somewhere in the Canadian rev- enue system. The average duty on all imports is in the neighborhood of 15 per cent. so that if $55,000,009 worth of goods shipped in during the year without official check the i inference n s that th ep ublie exche- quer xC he -quer is short some 87,500,000 of re- venue which it should. have received, '95110'LL RE THE FIRST - Seed fairs are a good thing, of course, but the best ]rind of a seed fair would be one at the schoolhouse where every farmer in the section would exhibit a sample of the seed he intends to sow this spring.
