Sloan, Huron Comity, ,.who has' 60 Acres of Bearing Orchard Courtesy of Farmer's Advocate, stampeded into cash' crops. There are 12,000 acres of beans grown, and considerable fall wheat, as well -as some flax. Last. year a few ventured into tobacco;but we did mot intend to "bring that up' And; of course, there and onions, which constitute quite an industry in SouthHuron. Thepoultry business is progTessing,.but live stock production and grain! growing , aro by longodds the major phases of Huron County Agriculture. There are 800,000 acres of assessed land in Huron, occupied by approxi- mately 5,800 farmers. That means thatin every farm there are from 150 to 200 acres --sometimes inose. These farms are managed and worked by one man or two. A considerable por- tion of _,each farm has, as a rule, been devoted to'pasture and this! grass land is becoming unproductive, or "run out" touse.a common express- ion. The practice now is to break up a few acres of these old pastures ev ery year and seed them down. again with legumes or mixed grasses. Driving throughout the Country re- cently with G. R. Paterson, the Ag- ricultural Representative, we noticed apiece of hilly y land devoted, to pas- ture. It appeared dry, even in a sea- son of exceptional rain, and it was practically barren. Adjoining it, on the same kind of land, a tolerably good crop of hay was growing, and -a considerable ostler of the he cro p was p alfalfa. a fa. The striking p con arisen ad- mirably demonstrated the possibilities undeveloped' in much of Huron Coun- ty's ounty's pasture land. In the good old days when apple trees we$e immune to bugs and blight the farmers in Goderich Township, and to some extent throughout Hur- on County, . set, some splendid or- chards. Potentially they are good orchards still, but they are now ne- gleoted. Mr. Paterson informed its soil seems to be admirably adapted for tree growth and fruit production, for the orchard • is the'picture of health and thriftiness. Unfortunately this is an 'off year in Major Sloan's orchard, as it is in many other oi• chards; n Huron County. John Joynt, ex-M,L.A., near Lucknow is West Wa- wanosh Township, made the same complaint regarding crop failure this year. His Spys apparently set_' well in the spring,_but it was a false sheet and most of the fruit dropped, We found Kenneth 'Cameron in the sante township more optimistic regarding prospects. Mr. Cameron has a 9141 sere orchard, which for 10 years yielded about 1,000 barrels annually. The crop will be considerably 'less than that this year for Mr. Cameron figures that the leaf roller hag al- ready knocked 150 barrelsoff the crop. There is a 'striking lesson in or- chard culture on Mr. Cameron's place. Tho orchard has been in sod for 18 'ears andvery other year it has re- ceived a�.d essing of barnyard manure at the rate of 12 to 15 loads per acre. Ile tried nitrate of soda one year and. got such a heavy set of fruit that he .has not applied it since. The. grass is kept cut and thrown under the trees as a mulch. A large percentage of the trees in this orchard are Spys and all are set 35 feet 'apart. •We, ob- served that a string had been tied a- round every other • rise in each row and the trees thus marked ar ed ran diag- onally across the orchard. When ask- ed for an explanation Mr. Cameron said: "The orchard" is getting so thick that I am shortening in the branches of , those marked trees. They will come out eventually and file remaining"trees will stand 50 feet a- part." "If you were setting° a young or- chard; how "far ,apart would you set Spye7" we asked. '.-And his answer and the trunk is 6% feet in circuutfer. enee; two feet from.the ground. Mfr. Cameron, applies four good sprayings annually,' and a spray in this ease means two applications— one fromeach side, Bordeau is used for the first spray and lime sulphur for the;othot: three. Sheep husbandry seems to be gam- ing in popularity in Huron County. W. M. Henry, in East Wawanosh, has gone quite extensively into sheep and last .winter kept 90 breeding ewes. They are 4 share 'of averaging 134 lambs per ewe this year. The ewes wore wintered en. alfalfa hay, oats and a few turnips. Last year the was a trifle over 9 pounds per ewe. - It is a little less -this year but of bet- ter quality, for the sheep were dipped and external parasites ,destroyed. Mr. Henry now dips his sheep twice a year. The revenue from the flock is figured something like this: The fleece is worth $3 and a good lamb brings $10.: The average lamb crop is 134 lambs' to -the ewe, making $15 for lambs and $3 for wool, or .§I.8 in all that can be chalked up tote ere- . dit of each ewe. There is a growing flock of Dorsets on this farm now headed by an out- standing Dorset ram. Three Dorset ewes in this flock gave birth to 17 lambs in 13 months. A great many "Western cattle coin° into Huron County every year, but the number would be greatly i ncreased if stockers and feeders eould.be bought cheaper in Winnipeg and other' West- ern Canada points. John Joynt,' ex- M.L.A., slapped down 69,000 for cattle in Western Canada last fall and fed 800 head through the winter of 1927- 28. Mr. Joynt did not consider it -a very good deal, for oats and barley were worth so- much last winter that (Continuet1 on page 7) xrxex...,„ 4,k The U.S. Patent Office has granted patents to the Hudson Motor - Car Company on the "P -Plead !ugh -compression motor.
