Tittlely Inforniat on for the
Buse Farmer`
(Burnished by the Department of Agriculture)
Ontario Buying Feeders
Almost a month earlier than usual,
the annual stream " of; ifeeders and
stockers from Western Canada into
Western Ontario is now under way.
Por over a month there has been a
heavy movement of light cattle into
the feed -lots, from Kitchener to the
border. At the same time a heavy
movement of finished cattle was
noted to Buffalo and Detroit mar-
kets. United States buyers came
right to Western Ontario feed -lots
and paid good prices at the farm.
As the United States tariff quota
against Canadian cattle over 700 lbs.
is due to be filled shortly this may
account for the present heavy ship-
ments, but it is believed that prices
across the line are strong enough to
cover an added cent per pound and
that the movement of finished stock
south will continue.
War On Chicory
Pleased with the results of their
decent campaign against poison ivy,
Ontario Department of Agriculture
officials have declared war on chicory
public enemy No. 1 among noxious
'weeds. According to J. D. McLeod,
of the crop, seeds and weeds branch,
chicory is the fastest spreading weed
in Ontario. An average hicory plant
may produce 3,000 seeds. Its bright
blue flowers and dandelion -like leaves
may be seen in every county in the
province. Deep plowing is recom-
mended to root it out of fields, spray-
ing while the plants are blossoming
along roadsides. Mr. McLeod issued
an appeal to ,farmers and citizens to
draw attention of weed inspectors to
infested areas. ° He said a half -pound
of sodium chlorate to a gallon of
water was a good spray and should
be put on at high pressure.
Summary of Fruit and Vegetable
Prospects
Weather conditions have been gen-
erally favourable for development of
tree fruits during the past month.
Moisture supplies have been ample
in all sections of the Province except
in the Bowmanville-Newcastle district
'where only scant precipitation was
received during the past six weeks.
Heavy showers, however, fell in this
district on August 19th.
Apples are sizing better than last
year and present prospects indicate
an increase of 22 per cent. in total
production in Western Ontario over
last year, and a reduction of 20 per
cent, in the orchards east 'of Toronto.
The total production for 1937 is now
estimated at 731,500 barrels as com-
pared with '703,500 barrels in 1936.
Where intensive spraying has been
practised insect pests and fungus dis-
ease have been fairly well controlled,
although, in a few areas there is now
evidence of scab infestation, Side -
worm injury is showing badly in
many orchards. Early varieties of
apples are being has -vested and are
reported to be of good quality. Buy-
ers. are now becoming active and a
few sales by the orchard have been
made.
The peach crop is expected to be
approximately 25 per cent. greater
than a year ago and fruit is sizing
well: Weather conditions, however,
have been favorable for the develop
ment of brown -rot and insect injury,
With an improvement in weather
conditions before harvesting, and pro-
viding intensive spraying is contin-
ued, an above average yield of good
quality fruit should be obtained.
A fair yield of most' varieties of
plums is anticipated, with Grand
Dukes and Reine Claudes. appearing
as the least promising. Total produc-
tion is estimated as 58,900 bushels, a
gain of 43 per cent. over the very
small crop of 41,200 bushels harvest-
ed in 1936. Although weather and
moisture conditions have been gener-
ally favorable for plums, rot is
somewhat in evidence throughout the
Niagara Pennisula, especially in poor-
er sprayed orchards.
Practically all commercial varie-
ties of pears have made evicellent
growth during the past month and
are quite free from insect or dis-
ease injury. The crop is sizing well
and total production is estimated to
be somewhat higher than a month
ago at 147,600 bushels, a reduction of
23 per cent. from 'last year, when
the total yield amounted to 196,800
bushels.
Grapevines are reported in a heal-
thy condition with berries sizing well.
Prospects are favorable for a good
normal yield. A large number of
vineyards have not been carefully
sprayed and Hoppers and mildew are
quite prevalent in these graperies. In
carefully sprayed vineyards disease
and insects are well under control.
The cantaloupe crop will not ap-
proach the bumper proportions indi-
cated a month ago, but will be a
good average yield. Owing to a
spell of very hot weather the set of
blossoms was restricted and sizing of
melons was affected in some planta-
tions. Vine blight has developed in
some patches and the grading quality
is generally lower due to inferior
netting.
Field tomatoes are not in as good
condition as at the middle of July
due to to much precipitation in Wes-
tern Ontario and to hot dry weather
in the tomato growing section of
Eastern Ontario. In Eastern Ontario
the condition is reported to be still

Diseases
(Experimental, Farm Note).
Under the climatic` conditions of
the Okenagan, Valley, the •zinnia
plant grows exceedingly'well ' and
produces a continuous succession of
large blosomsfrom the beginning of
July' - until the autumn frosts. The
plant is grown without any difficul-
ty and is not subject to many paras-
itic diseases, put those that do attack
it can be very destructive.
In some localities powdery mildew
attacks the foliage of, the plants and
may - sometimes b e troublesome.
Should this malady appear, however,
it can be easily controlled through
the application of either a colloidal
sulphur spray or a finely divided col-
loidal sulphur dust. The fungicide
should be applied at intervals of 10
to 14 days as long as the disease is
developing.
Occasionally a few plants may be
found affected with what is common-
ly known as stem -rot. The disease is
recognized by the appearance of light
grey lesions on any portion of the
main stein or branches, which become
dy and brittle, or of a black rot in
the root at or below the ground Ievel.
The stem pith disappears in such ar-
eas and is partially replaced by round
tc oval compact, hard fungous bodies.
above average, but in Western On-
tario it is slightly below average. In
the counties of Halton and Welland
prospects are reported considerably
below average. Total canning fac-
tory tomato acreage this year' a-
mounts to 34,700 acres as against
21,500 acres last year. Processing
plants have already commenced sun-
ning tomatoes, which is earlier than
expected.
of
anni'a
These are win* when young, but
turn black on .the surface as they
get • older. The disease is readily re-
cognized by the presence of these bo-
dis, which act as a means of over-
wintering by the fungus. Whenever
such plants are found,\they should be
removed and burned in order to de-
stroy these fungous resting bodies.':
In some. localities, a wilt disease of
zinnias has become' so destructive and
has killed off such a large percentage
of the plants that the cultivation of
this attractive flower has largely
been abandoned. This disease is
caused by a soil -infesting ' fungus
that penetrates into the fibrous feed-
ing rootlets and from there spreads
to the main root. The infected tissue
decays, and thus in preventing the
normal upward movement of water
from the soil, brings on the rapid
wilting -and death of the plant. Wilt-
ing usually first appears during the
early part of July, after the soils
have been warmed up by the hot
weather, and continues until the end
of the season.
This disease is being studied at the
Doininion Laboratory of Plant Path-
ology at Summerland. It has been
noticed that sometimes plants in a
severely infected plot remain healthy
throughout the season. Selections
have been made for such plants and
it is hoped that by making succes-
sive selections a strain resistant to
this malady will be developed. In
the meantime, until this has been
completed, the most practical control
method is to practise a planned sys-
tem of rotation. Zinnias should not
be grown in the same piece of soil
more frequently than once every
three or four years.

rad Hepburn said
"NO --MR, FARMER"
"YES -SIR JAMES"
What has happened to the promises Hepburn made
to the farmers of Ontario before he was elected ?
Hepburn Promised the Farmers
A special session of the legislature totdeal with farm reliefroblem
immediately after the, election. p s
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing! He said: "The farmers must stand on their own feet.
Hepburn Promised the Fermiers :
Help in improving livestock, grants to help agriculture.
What Hepburn Did:
He wiped out the Farm Loan Board -stopped bonuses, for pure bred
sires and grants to junior judging competitions -cut off $300,000 in
grants made by the previous government to aid the farmer.
Hepburn Promised the Farmers :
Wider markets and better marketing facilities,
What Hepburn Did:
He ,closed the marketing agencies at Montreal, Winnipeg and in the
Maritimes -closed Ontario House in London, England, which had created
markets thereby increasing Ontario farmers' annual income by $10,000,000..
Hepburn Promised the Farmers
A string of cold storage warehouses across Ontario, for the benefit of
farmer.
What Hepburn Did:
Nothing!
Hepburn Promised the Farmers:
Reduced taxation.
What Hepburn Did:
He collected in taxation 80% more than was collected in the last year of
the Conservative Government, of which the farmers paid their share.
What is Sauce for the Goose
... Is Sauce for the G
BUT -while Mr. Hepburn was saying
to the farmer "you must stand on your
own feet" and was cutting off $300,000
in agricultural bonuses, he was passing
on a bonus to Sir James Dunn of the
Algoma Steel Corporation of almost a
like amount of the taxpayers' money.
r
ander
Agriculture and industry are both
vitally necessary to the prosperity and
welfare of the Canadian people. The
farmer says, however, that "what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander -why take away our bonus to
bonus Sir James Dunn?"
You Can Trust Rowe
VOTE ',d,. • »1.: ERVA: E
Issued by Campaign Committee of the Liberal -Conservative Party of Ontario.
WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING
BOTH PARTIES ARE
CONSERVATIVE
The Conservative party isn't dead,
nor is there much chance of its dy-
ing. Parties don't die that way. Af-
ter 1917 many Liberals thought the
Liberal party dead. Four years lat-
er it won a smashing victory. In 1930
the Conservative party under Mr.
Bennett won a decisive majority.
Four years later it was hopeless
minority. The ,pendulum had swung
to the other extreme.
The pendulum will swing again. It
will swing, not because the electors
will want to put a Conservative par-
ty in, but because they will want to
put a Liberal party out. The philoso-
phies of the parties, or their pro-
grams, will have little to do with it.
Actually there is small difference
between the two parties. Both are
conservative. When political changes
come in this country they come ov-
er 'administrative matters, because
the public blames the party in pow-
er when things go wrong, decides to
turn it out. In time, .perhaps for a
good reason, perhaps for a bad one,
or perhaps for no reason at all, the
electors will grow tired of the Lib-
eral party, turn it out. The Conser-
vative party will then come in. It
will come in because it is the alter-
native party, and there will be no
other alternative,
We should like to think, of course,
that it were otherwise; that most of
us took such an active, continuous
and intelligent interest in philoso-
phies of government that we selected
governments because of their creeds
and programs. But we don't. For
most of us, Liberalism and Conserva-
tism are just labels, with few of us
as -much as troubling to find out
what the labels are about, The won-
der is, in the circumstances, that the
party system works as well as it
does, -The Ottawa Journal.
Eight Million Trees 'And
Shrubs
Canberra, federal capital of Aus-
tralia, the location of which was not
so many years ago almost a barren
wilderness, is maintaining and ex-
tending its new-found reputation as
the garden city of the Commonwealth.
`Teams of workmen are preparing
new plantations where thousands of
trees and shrubs will be planted in
the present season.
To protect and beautify the new
suburb of Wakefield Gardens, a main
plantation a mile long and from 60
to 130 feet wide is now being pre-
pared. The trees comprise wattles,
accede, eucalpyts, and conifers.
The completion of the present
planting within the next few months
will give Canberra a total of 8,000,-
000 -planted trees and shrubs, of.
which about half grow in the city
area, and the remainder in other
parts of the Federal Capital Terri-
tory, located in New South Wales.
Many thousands of wattles began to
flower towards the middle of August
continuing in bloom for over a month,
painting the avenues golden. A. thick
belt of wattle trees at the rear of
Parliament House makes a particu-
larly beautiful display, while from
the panoramic viewpoints of the
capital, golden clumps may be seen
mingling everywhere with the green-
ery of the gardens and plantations.
