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.

The change from the growing re•

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

When Fed to Steers
epee 'ie.',:setieleiseteriete
In an effort to determine the sale
value of potatoes utilized in this
way, an experiment was started in
the autumn of 1926,. et the Experi-
mental Station, Charlottetown,
Prince Edward Island, and is now
c-enelu<led after.• a period of five
years, a total of ono handred steers
having .been fed dinning that. period.
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. Frank Tinneq,
