The answer would `semi to 'be that many farmers are continually sawing' far too many weed seeds along with their grain., This has been demonstrated in a seed drill survey carried on`.by agr•i- eultural' representatives in °four counties of Eastern Ontario this year.

Oro rearl Cattle For the West I ,Hon, Robert 'Weir, Federal • Miinis- ter of Agriculture, has recently an flounced a Transportation Policy. which make& it possible for farriers' in the three Prairie Provinces to es- tablish themselves in the breedin of purebred cattle ht either the beef or dairy sections. It makes possibl the payment by the; f7orninion Live- stock Branch of freight charges .on meet shipments of cattle purchased within the Dominion and shipped to any railway point in the Prairie Provinces. The shipment must con- sist of one or more carloads of cat- tle purchased at one. time, but a pur- chaser is .limited to one shipment in ane calendar year. 'The minimum number of cattle in a shipment is twelve mature females or an equiv- alent weight of cattle should younger animals be purchased. The cattle must be between the ages of eight months and six years. The cattle must be fromfromherds that have pass- ed at least two consecutive clean tuberculin tests and also the blood test for infectious abortion. The quality of cattle must be approved by a departmental officer and there are other regulations governing dairy breeds, Further information about the policy can be secured from the Cattle Division, Livestock Branch, Dominion Deaprtment of Agriculture, Ottawa. g' e Sod Web Worm Prof. Lawson Caesar, of 0. A. C. states that the present serious out- break of sod web worms in several districts is the first of its kind in his forty years of experience in On- tario. A peculiar feeding habit of sod web worms is that •old bite grass and timothy are attacked, whereas alfalfa and clovers are in. - mune. 0. A. C. entonibologists have found a fungus or bacterial disease which is killing off the caterpillars and checking the spread of the pest, Ca -operative Packing Plant The first co-operative • packing plant In Ontario was opened recent- ly at Allendale in Sineoe County, by Premier Gauge S. Henry. The building and machinery cost $I165,- 000. The plant holds the hopes of 1,000 farriers in the counties of Sim- cog, Grey, Duf?arin, and Ontario for their future welfare in the hog -rais- ing industry, The farmeip• have each contributed' $100 towards the pro- ject and are under contract to supply the plant with their, hog output for the next ten years. Modeled on the. co-operative plants of Denmark and built -after two years of preparation, the Allendale plant is claimed by its manager, Thomas Olsen, ' a Dane who has been in Canada for 35 years, to be the equal to any plant of its kind on the continent. The new ven- ture will be entitled the First Co- operatioe Packers of Ontario, Ltd., and will employ 25 men 'permanently. The Turnip .Aphid In connection with the control of the turnip aphid, entomologists ad- vice the planting of two rows of white turnips in a field of swedes Its a `strap" crop ' for this insect. These aphids, which cause serious injury to young turnip plants through feeding on the leaves cora- , reach Canadian points in the late suriinier, but they may .be ex- pected earlier this year and proba- bly to cause greater injury. Past experience has shown that this in sect prefers white to. swede turnips, and may, gather in huge numbers en a small number of white, turnip plants, leaving the swedes but light- ly infected. The planting of a row or two of white 'turnips In with the main crop attracts the aphids to the "trap" plans so that they can be destroyed easily with spray or dust or by being plowed under. The tur- nip aphids or plant lice make them- selves apparent in a field through individual plants' becoming stunted in growth and sickly in appearance. Purple blotches may appear on the surface .of the leaf and these indi- cate large colonies on the under surface. These infested plants should be pulled and removed at once. Weekly Crop. Report Reports from most districts indi- cate that fall wheat, clovers, pas- tures and spring grains give prone- ise .of a heavy yield. Outbreaks of web worm have occurred in Halton, Ifaldimand and Peel and have caused considerable damage to old pastures and spring grains. Numer- ous outbreaks of cutworms are also reported, which have attacked spring grains sown on fields recent- ly broken;Wut of sod. Alfalfa acre- age will be greater this year, one county reporting 50 per cent. in- crease. Potatoes are also more popular, with a very marked demand for certified seed potatoes in many districts. In btisidlesex over three carloads have been distributed in addition to material supplies to 142 club members. Soil is in excellent condition throughout the province.

News Items on Matt Written for ors Canadian ` and Foreign The News -Record' Ottawa, June 1st, (Special' to News-Record)—The -taking of census in Canada this summer leea the fact that it was in 1665 that first modern census \vas.taken in world, and it was taken in. Canada. It was the +.8th century before Eur- ope followed the lead of the Domin- ion of Canada and in 1'T90 the United States took its first census. The population of 'Canada in 1665 was 3,215 souls, in 1700 • it• had passed 15,000 andin 1763 when Canada was ceded to Great Britain there were 70,000 people. The I9th century was begun with between 250,600 and 260,000 people and by 1901 there were 5,371,815 residents. In 101'1. the figures were 7,206,643, in 1921, 8,788,483 and today 19 is estimated the total figure will reach 10,500,000. In 1921 over one million were re- ported as not being able. to speak the English language and it is ex- pected the number has grown now, These figures are of interest: • 1608, population of Quebec, 60. 1641, resident population of Can- ada, 240, 1665 New France, 3,215. 1667, New France, 3,918. 1698, New France, 15,355. 1739, Neiv France, 21,701, 1765, Canada, 69,810. 1784, Canada, 113,012. 1814, Upper Canada, Ontario, 95,: 000; Lower Canada (Quebec) 355, 000.

The 'analyst stated that "out of this nuinlber I have found only one sample to consist of pure bitartrate of potassium. (caeanl of tartar). The other 182 samples con- tained injurious admixtures in vary- ing degrees, in some instances the adulterants constituting 100 per cent, no trace of tartar being found, though the contents of the packages were labelled and sold as, pure cream of tartar. The adulterants most commonly found were alum, tartrate of lime, sulphate of lime, super- phosphate of line and starch and gypsum. Seventy of the better sam- ples advertised as" "extra special" were found to contain larger percen- tages of lime and in some eases ov- er 16 per cent. Also some of the samples contained 7 per cent of sul- phuric acid. Canada Growing Self -Dependent Ottawa, June ist, (Special to The News -Record): Canada is 'becoming increasingly self -dependent in her industries, her shipping and her ag- riculture, according e to figures re- cently issued by the Government Bureau of Statistics. These figures show that despite an increasing apparent consumption of manufactured commodities Cana- dian manufacturers are tt8ore than holding their own in supplying this demand, that an increasing percen- tage of Canadian wheat is being ex- ported through Canadian ports to overseas countries, that all coke used in Canadian blast factories is now produced in Canada, that the quality of Canadian meat and dairy products is improving under government grad- ing and that Canadian exporters are inti easingly successful in their search for new markets throughout the world. The apparent consumption in Can- ada of manufactured commodities in 1929 figures for which have fust been issued, amounted to $4,303,378,487, an increase of slightly mere than six per cent over the preceding year. Of this total Canadian manufacturers supplied 76.6 per cent in 1929 and 76.0 per cent in 1928. Gross value of manufacturing pro- duction in 1929 amounted to more than four billion dollars while the capital invested aggregated over five billion dollars, an increase over the preceding year of 7.8 per cent and 6,3 per cent respectively, Approximately 58 per cent of the Canadian overseas shipments 'of wheat during the past elght months of the present crop year passed through hone ports as compared with 52.5 per cent. in the correspond- ing period of the 1929,1930 crop years. While overseas shipments of Canadian wheat have increased by 62 per cent, shipments through Can- adian ports have increased nearly 80 per cent. while those through United States ports'have increased by only 55 per cent United 'States purchases from the Dominion showed increases over the preceding year in sugar, sil- ver, coal, electrical energy .and auto- mobiles and parts. The latter were mainly re-exports et original itnpeets :from, that country. Canada's exhorts to the United Kingdom- showed in- creases in canned vegetables, cattle canned fish, leather, raw wool., farm implements, hardware, iron pigs and ingots, nickel, petroleum' and its products. Food Adulteration is Aged Institution ;New Glasgow, , N.S„ July lst, (Special to. The News -Record) — The adulteration of foodstuffs went on in other years with more impun- ity than it does today, and officers of the old Inland Revenue Depart- ment were engaged in treeing injur- sous admixtures to their source. A clipping from the New Glasgow, N. S. Eastern 'Chronicle, dated Decem- ber 30, 1897, gives some details of the situation prevailing at that time respecting the adulteration of cream of tartar, an indispensable article. of The Chronicle concludes: "These being the best specimen of cream of tartar that can he bought in the Canadian market by chemists who are looking for pure goods, what are the chances of the house- keeper when purchasing indiscrimin- ately from the ordinary stock found at the grocers' and druggists? So long as she trusts to these sources for the agents to raise her biscuits and cakes, she is powerless to pro- tect her food front dangerous impur- ities, for site is all the time mixing it with alum and other poisonous adulterants."

Farmers Anxious to Improve Method Montreal, Que, June lst, (Special to The News Record) --,General de- sire among farmers to learn better and improved methods of farming is very evident. During 1930 and the first month of 1981 six lecture and demonstration trains were run over lines of the Canadian National Rail- ways in different, parts of the Dom- ioion and were attended by 45,700 farmers, The trains were operated in cooperation with Federal and Pro- vincial Departments of Agriculture and other institutions interested in the promotion of better farming. A poultry and dairy demonstration train operated during the first part of 1930 in the Province of Saskat- chewan made 48 stops and had a to- tal attendance of 3,900, In British Columbia an agricultural demonstra- tion traits toured the province mak- ing 23 stops with an attendance of 2,100. In Manitoba in eonnection with the policy of placing sheep on farms, a sheep demonstration train was operated with 29 stops and an attendance of '1,700. In Ontario a soil and crops' dem- onstration train made 55 stops and had an attendance of over 20,000. In Quebec, the soil improvement train operated by the National Rail- ways and the Quebec Department of Agriculture made 36 stops and serv- ed 11,200 farmers and fnore than 5,000 soil 'tests were made Daring January el this year another demon- stration train was operated in Sas- katchewan with '42 stops and a total attendance of 6,800.
