Use Home -Grown Seed • At the Growers' Council Potato Meeting held recently in Toronto it was reported that Ontario farmers had bought 55,000 bushels of certi- fied seed front outside the province last year. It was stated that we have an excellent crop of certified Cobblers, Dooleys and Green Moun- tains in Ontario this year and it was recommended that Ontario farmers should first make use of this seed before importing, owing to unusual market conditions. It was felt that farmers might order their supplies and save money by making theft purchases now. Weekly Crop Report The weather continues to be very satisfactory, to Ontario farmers. There has been enough rain to en- courage the luxuriant growth of pas- tures and in many areas to increase the flow' of underground streams and fill wells which have been very .low or empty. Farm work is well advanced. Fall plowing will be fin- ished in good time. Wheat is mak- leg wonderful growth and there is fear that in the more southern dis- tricts growth will be too rank. All classes of livestock are in goad eon. Oen, Weather had Permitted con- tinued pasturage and there is a bountiful' feed Supply. The root ergo is being. harvested in good con- dition. Dairy production is above normal. The yield in Oxford County has been estimated at 20 to 20 per cent, higher than last year, while in I Grenville a 40 per cent. increase has b'een•reported, Farmers' discourage - meet is confined almost wholly to market prices. • Keep the Pullets Well Fed The time is at hand when pullet; should be confined to their wintee quarters, but the pens should first be thoroughly cleaned and distil,fectod.

They will require a full ration of suitable :feed. besides plenty of clean water, green feed, shell. and grit. The change from the growing re• tion to the laying mash should be made gradually. Home-grown grains cannot be sold far mit+th qn the market, and while they may form a large proportion of the birds' ra- tion they do not supply all neves saty ingredients for the production rf eggs. The use of a high protein commercial mash nixed with chop- ped hntye-groNVn grains will give much better results than the grains alone, the following club objects: Calf, ,, swine, preltry, garden, grain, potato and canning. As a result there were 220 boys' and girls' clubs with a to- tal membership of 6068 carrying• on I active. programs during the year, On October 10th teams representing the swine and cattle clubs held their provincial competitions. Six swine and twelve cattle clubs took part in the contests and in each 'case a team was composed of two club members. between the ages of 16 and 20 years. The winning team in the swine de- partment was from Lennox and Ad- dington and scored 995 out of a pos- sible 1200 points, while the runeei•s- up from Durham sce;red 908. The competition consisted of judging of four classes of swine and answering questions on general management and marketing of swine. The Peel county Holstein Club was high team in the cattle competition, scoring 1061 out of a possible 1200 points. The Cattle Club teams judged four classes of cattle and answered questions on management and care of cattle. The winning teams from Lennox and Addington and Peel will represent Ontario in the . national contests at the Royal' Winter fair. Cern Beret- Warning An inspection of the corn fields in Kent Counties shows that onan average there are at least fifty per cent more brgers this year than last. This fact. has, caused the Provincial Entomologist to send out a warning message to all Ontario corn growers. urging upon them the neoessity of cleaning up their corn fields mere thoroughly than ever. Some growers have the idea that the .borer has been beaten, They are wrong. The borer will never be beaten. The hest that the farmers can do is to keep the borer so closely under con* tel that the damagefrone this pest will be as small as possible.

Growers who held back the cutting of their grapes were rewarded by a higher price.

Corn acreage increased anprox- imately 10 per cent and the crop was rutstanding with little evidence of the borer pest. The estimated acre- age and yield per acre of eeceals respectively are -fall wheat, 631,500 acres and 30 bushels; oats, 2,715.000 acres and 32.4 bushels; •barley, 503,- 590 acres and 2;1,4 bushels. These Compare with 659,617 acres and 26.7 bushels, 2,468,913 acres and 89.5 bushels, and 566,374 acres and 34,3 bushels for 1930. The quality and yield, particularly in oats and bar- ley, were adversely affected by ten days of extremely hot weather early in July, which also reduced the yield of canning peas to approximately 50 per cent of average. A reduced acreage of sugar 'beets is yielding an average crop, Tomatoes were excellent and in excess of canners' requirements.

In respect to the Prairie Provinces, The Dominion Bureau -of.

In addition to potatoes, iturrnips were fed in' different ways and in varying amounts. The use of swede turnips as a succulent food has been a stan- dard practice in the province fee many years. • All lots of animals under test re- cisi.ved a basal ration composed of mixed hay of good duality and' a fairly liberal. meal ration. The cheek let received the basal. ration. only, having. no succulent .•feed, while the remaining four lots re ceived potatoes or turnips in th varying amounts as outlined below. In preparing' this summary, th cost of the basal ration was deter, mined, which was of coursd the same fee all pens. To title was kidded the inibial cost of the steers at market pike per cwt. This total subtracted from the sale prices of the finished animals represented the profit an the transaction. Any profit greater than that made by the check lot was considered attributable to the bene- ficial effect of the rents or potatoes fed. Utilizing the above as a ,basis for computation, we have arrived at the following conclusions: - Lot number one received in addi- tion to the basal ration, 40 pouuls of turnips per steer per day at the start of the best. This amount was de- creased one pound each week until the test was completed, or at about 120 days. The total turnips fed amount- ed to 35:76 tons fo • the five rfeetling seasons, and the profit over that made by the check was found to be 5285.70. This figures nut at shout 96,00 per ton, or 16.5 cents per bush- el for the turnips fed. Lot cumber two received 15 pounds ail turnips per steer per day through- out the entire test, The total a- mount fed to twenty steers in five years was 16.5 tons, and the incr.:aae 10 'profit over that of the check was 8195.93, giving a return of $11.87 per ton or 29.7 cents per bushel for the roots fed. - I being 17.85 tons, or just about half e , that fell to lot number one. The ee- 1 turn per ton of turnips was 910.70 e ' and per bushel was 26.8 cents. Lot number three at the beginning received 20 pounds of turnips per steer per day. -This amount was reduced by one-half pound each week until the completion of the test. This system in five years returned $100.96 greater profit than the check pen, the total amount of roots fed Lot' four received cull potatoes at the rate of 25 pounds per steer per day, this rate being maintained throughout the feed period. The to- taI amount of potatoes fed in five Years was 27.5 tins, and the increase in profit ovci~ that nettle by the cheek was $4.12.38. This works out 54 a return of $16 per ton or 45 ecnts per bushel for the potatoes fed. The outstanding result obtained from this five-year test is the high return value per bushel realized for the turnips and potatoes so fed. When we compare lots 2 and 3 with let one, it would appear that tur- nips give greater returns when fed in moderate amount;,. The very excellent return of 45 cents per bushel is realized for the cull potatoes used. When we recall' that these potatoes are usually plentiful and are of little or ne mar, ket value, the price realized is in, deed satisfactory, Such returns strongly recommend the feeding of turnips or cull .pota- toes to sheet -keep steers. In fact, in seasons when potato prices are low, a fairly satisfactory return :night be realized by marketing the entire crop in this way. -B.
