The Clinton News Record, 1931-03-26, Page 6NEWS AND INFORMATION . FOR THE BUSY FARMER Furnished by the•De martlnent of Agriculture Ontario farmers aeually lose bun_ :ds of dollars from parasites in =ep and hogs. Dr. L. S. Steven-' s has made a special study of this sblem and has written several Iletins, 'copies of which can beob- ned from your local Department Agriculture, Commercial fertilizers when ap- ed to various crops in conjunction', th good farming methods give big turns. Phosphates increase yields almost all crops on 'almost all pea of soil. Potash pays especially the sandy soils. Nitrogen for st farm crops should, as far as ssible, be obtained from growing names. Free Seed One of the great vital -forces re- onsible for success in agriculture goad seed, declares the Ontario gricultural and Experimental Un - h, in announcing that it is pre - red this year to distribute to niers free of charge, into every wnship, county and district of On- rio, selected seed of the best vagi les of field crops. Any farmer can stain alist giving the details of lis seed distribution for test pur- ises from his local. agricultural re- resentative. Included in the list :•e seeds for grain crops, root crops, >rage, fodder, silage and hay crops, ilinary crops, fertilizer experiments ad a number of miscellaneous ex- ariments. Renewed War on Corn Borer The need for renewed warfare on in corn borer was emphasized at ie annual convention of corn borer :specters of Western Ontario at ondon, when Prof. L. Caesar, pro- ineial 'entomologist, led the discus= ion and issued instructions to the :specters. Large corn producing nasties of Western Ontario are teed with the possibility of another arious corn borer epidemic as a re- elt of the prolonged drought. Un- 1ss much stubble plowing is done y farmers and inspectors give care - al surveillance, serious damage to orn fields may result. The ne sit - :Atoll is unusual because of the pro - 'pureed drought last summer. Corn rubble became dry. The corn borer id not find the dry stubble to his king and instead of spending the inter in the stalk about an inch bove the ground, as usual, it went [eeper into the root. In the past, Many farmers have simply cut the orn level with the ground, thus voiding plowing the stubble under ?his elan would not be effective un - ler the new condition and a cam- laie•n is being started to have all stubble plowed under before 'the niddie of May, despite the manner n which the corn was cut. }Better seed pays big dividends in .cap improvement, Production may increased from 10 to 14 pounds ter bushel and- from 10 to 14 bush - As per acre by sowing only largo, slump seed. The farmer will find t a paying proposition to get the old 'arming mill out of the store -house. It it up properly with screens and hake a genuine clean-up of seed ;his -spring, Interesting Swine Course. Despite a heavy snowstorm .which Stade roads almost impassable, ap- sroxiniately sixty young men were M attendance at the special swine course held under auspices of the Council of Canadian Meat Packets and Provincial and Federal Depart- ments of Agriculture' at "Montreal packing plants on Mnreh 9th,. 10th and llth. It was voted the most suc- cessful course' yet held in Eastern Ontario. The program consisted of lectures and demonstrations on types of live hogs and dressed car- casses and animal parasites, as well as competitions in the judging and grading of .live hogs and dressed, carcasses. The. following counties were represented in the gathering: Carleton, Glengarry, Grenville, Dun- dee, Renfrew, Lanark, Lennox and Addington, .Prescott and Russell, Leeds and Frontenae. a 1 55c a Bushel For Barley 'Resulting from a conference 'in the office of the Minister of Agrieul- tme, the Canadian Malting Company Ltd. is offering to pay, a minimm u price. of 55c a bushel for Ontario ten -ley, on and .after Sept. 1st, 193., delivered at Montrea}, The company will accept 1,000,000; bushels of bare ley at that price, providing it is sound and clean and reasonably free from other grains arid weighing 48 pounds to the bushel. This is equi- Valent of the grain grade known as "Three Extra" and in a normal year should be easily obtained by the average farmer in Ontario. Barley has long been • regarded by many farmers as a cash crop in the Coun- ties of Essex, Kent, Middlesex,. El- gin' and Perth, and it is hoped this announcement will give new confi- dence to these growers. A M{ontreal price of 55a would mean f.o.b. prices approximately as follows: Main line, Chatham and surrounding points, 40c; off lines, side lines or radial lines in same territory, 37c; Central Ontario points, 42c; Eastern Ontario and on to Montreal, 46c. These prices apply only to carrpt ship- ments. This offer is 20e to 25c per bushel better than present prices en the Montreal market and should greatly encourage barley production in those counties where the crop is well and favorably known. An Advisory Committee Immediately after the present legislative session, the Government will appoint an advisory board to aid }Ion. Thos. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture in the administration of departmental affairs and in- solv- ing present-day farm products. It will probably comprise three mem- bers, one representative of the dairy- ing industry; a second from the cat- tle, hog and sheep industries, and a third from the poultry raising inter- ests. It will be absolutely non-po- litical in composition and scope. The members will receive fair re- inuneratiop for their time, as well es travelling .expenses. Weekly Crop Report There is a general feeling t iough- out the province that the recent heavy snowfall has been of inesthn- able value, according to the weekly report of agricultural representa- tives in various counties, Fields are well covered and prophets are most optimistic regarding the condition of wheat and clover stands. Orchards in Dundas have been receiving at- tention with some pruning already done. In Frontenae the number of sows farrowing this year shows an increase of about 100 per cent. over last spring. Excepting for the syrup industry, few preparations have been made • for spring work in Glengarry..

LAVIS CLINTON, ONTARIO ME CLINTON NEWS -RECORD THURSDAY, : MAROII 26, 1931 Increased interest in certified seen is manifest in Grenville In spite of bad roads, the soils and crops meet- ings ' in .Ifaldimand are being very well attended. Farmersin ''Huron are indicating increased interest in better seed and fanning' mills are being put in shape for' screening. work. In Middlesex, orchard pruning work has been general, while breed- ing'stations in Welland report heavy orders for good quality hatching eggs. New High Quality Feed Farmers feeders and poultrymen` will be interested in the production of a new high quality feed for peel - try, swine and young livestock: This feed called Oat Groats, is made by taking the hulls off oats thus greatly, reducing the fibre, increasing the protein and lowering the most of the food nutrients by a saving in freight .Although there is some variation. in the cheanical analysis the average sample shows about 1'7% protein and from IM, per cent. to 8 per cent. fibre: "Oat Groats are fairly high in fat also containing about 8 per cent. of this valuable nutrient. For .young calves, young pigs and all: ages ,of poultry, 'thi's feed will prove valuable in assisting rapid growth and gener- al vigor because of the high protein and low fibre content. The price of this product is very low when the feed value is compared to other feeds. By buying this feed in carlot quan- tities and using Canadian Barley to replace corn, the cost of production of poultry and livestock products can be substantially reduced. SCIENCE AND INVENTION The largest steam engine ever. built weighs about 558 tons, An electrical device has been per- fected to keep railway switches and frogs free from snow and Inc.. n.A• 000,000 -volt X-ray tube, by far the largest in the United States, is being built to fight cancer in the New York Memorial Hospital. A new apparatus and method for analysis of gas mixtures, important to. a number of industries, has been devised by the U.S. Bureau of Stan- dards. - ,A new home of the Museum of Science and Industry is planned in New York City. The proposed sky- scraper would cost about 810,000,000. • An electrical engineer in (finest, Hungary, claims to have built a rocket with electro -magnetic propul- sion which "ought to be able to reach the noon in three weeks." Tests arc being made on a railway in France with rubber dining -car wheels. Experts believe that adop- tion of rubber for coaches will lessen noise, shocks, and rail deterioration. Oil cloth protectors that toll to one side out of sight when not in use have been invented to guard curtains against rain and dust when windows are open. Paint of a Clark greenish hue has been found in England to make air- planes nearly invisible when flying against clouds or in the rays of searchlights, Engineers in the United States ninny have developed a new 4.2 inch chemical mortar .that will. throw a gas shell 2700 yards, as compared with 1100 yard _range of the 4 -inch wartime mortar. Charles L. Lawrence, the aeronau- tical expert who developed the radial airplane motor, is planning a new oil -fueled motor, which among other features will prevent explosion in a crash, due to the use ,of fuel other than gasoline. Discovery has been made by Dr, M. L. Humason, of the Carnegie In- stitution's observatory at Mount Wil- son, Calif., of a faint island universe. or nebula, far outin space, rushing away from the earth at the breath- taking speed of 11,000 miles a second. 'More than 200,000 butterflies, em- bracing over 500 classes, are to be exhibited in Munich, :Germany. The colleteion, which was brought to- gether by a citizen of Munich, is the largest group of European butterflies in the world. Scientists hope to utilize thesuntY rays in power plants in time. It has been estimated that enough sunshine falls 'on a house roof to supply the power needs of an average family;. the solar radiation is equal to 7000 horsepower an acre. A giant ditch digger is operating in Los Angeles, Calif„ which does the work of 1000 men. Tho digger is capable of removing 4 cubic yards of earth every 35 seconds, and it keeps 40trucksconstantly on the move re- inoving the dirt it piles up. A. gate -lifting crane, said to be the most powerful piece of machinery of its kind in the world, has recently been installed .at. Port ,Weller., • the Lake Ontario Entrance to the Wel- land Ship Canal. This huge crane is capable of lifting vertically 500 tons. An invention to stop skidding of automobiles has been developed in England. It consists of pipes mount- ed ounted in front of each rear wheel. These pipesautomatically sprinkle sand in front of the wheels when the vehic- le's brakes are applied on the -slip- pery surface. Among the new Iife. saving appar- atus to aid people at sea is a spec- ially designed, balsa wood float 'which is' provided with a hole through the 'center, permitting the float to be slipped over the barrel of an ordin- ary shotgun using' a blank cartridge. The float can be projected accurately to a drowning person 150 feet dis- tant.
