tGoneraily speaking,farmers in On-
tario are somewhat perturbed over
the, egg situation although its one or

quite firm, aoeording to the -weekly
crop report • frant representatives.
Egg production is coming ahead in
.most Bruce County flocks With 1ow-
prioes of 20c. 17e and 12e.' Teed is
plentiful in Dufferin and cattle rip -

while in Dundas an increasing de-
mand .for purebred stock is indicat-
ed,. Chick hatcheries in Essex an-
tieipate a- good year -but are not re-
assured by' the present condition of
the egg market. In Prontenae farm-
ers are getting 22c to 28c per dozen
for their eggs and a heavy demand
for dressed pogltry is apparent. But-
ter, which is 25 per cent. lower in
price gives Grenville farmers a pro-

Lambton. Dairy production in Mid-

abundance of feed; egg prices are

also to Oxford where prices are at

Geed Apple Season
With practically the whole of last
year's 'apple crop marketed, it May
be assumed, according to P. W.
Itodgetts, that Ontario Growers have
had an excellent season. The 'bulk
of the'Ben Davis were disposed of
in continental European markets,
with the exception of a thousand
barrels which went to South Ameriea.
Apple marketing conditions have
been restored more or less to nor-
mal with the gradual opening up of
a new market in Europe and the
displacement of Ben Davis with
much better varieties. Although the
crop hos been only fair in quantity
prices have been quite satisfactory.
As' a result, the genezal year is re-
garded with a good deal more en-
thusiasm than in several years past.
/.4th regard to 1931, prospects seem
quite good. All fruit trees went in-
to the winter in first-class shape and
there was no excessive moisture last.

Seed -Cleaning Machines
The Ontario and Dominion Depart-
ments of Agriculture have reached
an agreement whereby ,they will
share the cost of helping farmers
at strategic' centres to install, maim
tain and operate power seed -clean-
ing plants. -Assistance is to be given
in the form' of grants amounting to
50 per cent. of the invoice cost of
cleaning machines at local- stations,
such grants in no instance to exceed
$500. The grant, will be made avail-
able to an individual or an organi-
zation offarmersinterested in seed -
cleaning machinery, and provided it
is shown there is a need for such
equipment in the district from which
the application comes. Each appli-
eation must be accompanied by a
petition signed by 25 fanners stat-
ing that there is a need in the dis-
trict for sueh cleaning machinery.
Owners of plants; receiving Govern-
ment grants will he asked to sign
a seven -year contact promising
seed -cleaning service to neighboring
favmere at reasonable rates. The
plan is calculated to increase farm
efficiency and decrease' grain pro-
duction costs. The result of seed.
drill surveys in Ontario in the last
two years shows that more than 80
per cent. of the samples of need tak-
en from, seed drills was undesirable

ment, Hon. Thomas L. Vennedly,.
IVTinister of Agriculture, recently

Kennedy is a strong believer in agri-

infancy.
Boosting Ontario Products
The success achieved by Onion
Week demonstrates the possibilities
that lie behind a well -organized and
ably -directed campaign for the sale
of homegrown farm products. The
onion growers started out with the
idea of bettering their position by
their own efforts and have found
that such a worthwhile enterprise
gains friends . and supporters as it
proceeds. Plans are now under way
for promoting the conswniiption of
hone -known caarots and cabbage. The
net r'eeult of these, efforts must he to
reduce the amount of foreign grown
produce sold on •Canadian markets.
The Departmentis endeavoring to
play an important part' in this work
by• means of its daily neonbroad-
casts over Station CKGWi, Toronto,
which ate eagerly- listened to by
thousands of Ontario .families. :

tario, .which. has made a careful

Where Profits 'Begin
If your hens lay 81 eggs a year
or more you should be able to show
a profit. A ten-year average of the
e•est of feeding laying hens shows
that the yearly expenditure i$ $2,43
per hon. With eggs selling at 35e a
dozen it takes 6.05 dozen or 81 eggs
to pay for the lien's keep. Ttggs.
laid in excess of that number are

Plenty of Aifalfa Seed
Sixty thousand bushelsof home=
grown alfalfa are available for dis-
tribtelon in Ontario this year, ae-
cording to Professor W. J. Squirrel'
of O.A.C. He points out that the nor-
mal requirements are about 30,000
bushels, hut hopes that all this seed.
barring that intentionally held over,
will be used, because of its cheap-
ness (about half the price of last
year,) the shortage of home grown
red clover, end the necessity for t•e-
eeediee ninny meadows killed out by
drought last' summer.
Profit Factors Important
J. E. 'Whitelock, Assistant director
of agricultural representatives, was
the speaker at - the banquet conclud-
ing the short course in .home econo-
mies and agriculture at Shelburne
in Dufferin County, Ina thought-pro-
voking address, he asked the ques-
tion: "Just how good farmers are
we?" and went on to -'explain how
the average yield of barley was 45
bushels in Denmark •and. only 30 in
Ontario. The average Danish farm-
er, he pointed out, secured 100 lbs.
of gain in his hogs for 400 lbs. of
feed, while in Ontario it usually re-
quired over 500 lbs. of feed. The
conclusion was ,,that every detail of
the factors inflneneing•profits on the
farm must be heeded,
Needs of Agriculture
Iu addresisng the . London city -
county dinner of the Chamber of,
Commerce, Hon, Thomas L Kennedy
stressed three main needs for agri-
culture in Ontario today:
let -Phe need of growing quality
preclude; second-rate productshave

competition,
2nd: Boner grading of products,
so that Canadian products will be
known always as Al in foreign mar-
kets.

ing methods r to meet a changing
world, The minister quoted facts, fi-
gures and statistics to show the
need of progress along all thee:
