Insect Damage
With a few important exceptions,
insects have been,, somewhat less in-
jurious during August than usual.
The codling moth has been the most
destructive pest this year so far and
increased greatly during August as
a result of the continued warm wea-
ther which led to a large second
brood. The European corn borer sur-
vey which is now under way indicates
that the borers are going to be more
numerous this year than at any time
during the last your or five years,
the season, having been favourable to
thein in most eounties. Cabbage
worms have increased greatly in num-
ber and where no spraying or dusting,
has been carried out, they have play-
ed havoc with the foliage and heads
of cabbage and also cauliflower.
Complaints have been received of sev-
ere
ewere 'injury in Middlesex to turnip fol-
iage.
Record Tobacco Crop
The tobacco crop in Ontario im-
proved to a very marked degree dur-
ing the month of August with the re-
sult that total production is now es-
timated at a much higher figure than
appeared probable on the first o£'
August. The flue -cured crop will a-
mount to at least 50,000,000 pounds.
There has also been improvement
in the burley crop which is estimated
et -slightly more than 7,000,000
pounds. The dark tobacco crop will
possibly yield a total of 2,500,000
pounds. Total production of tobacco
in' Ontario this year will 'therefore
reach the record figure of 60,000,000
pounds, as compared with 35,500,000
pounds in 1936 and 48,492,220 pounds
in 1935. All crops were harvestedat
an early date this year. Phe flue -
cured tobacco crop has very good coI-
our. this year and is of particularly
good quality. Theburley is also of,
very good quality. These is every
likelihood of a heavy demand for On-
tario's burley and flue=cured tobacco.
The export market is particularly
prmuising•s..
Current Crop Report
'The average yield of spring grains.
for the Province will be considerably
higher than in 193'6 when drought
conditions reduced the crop, but still
somewhat below normal. The Coun-
ties bordering the St. Lawrence and
some districts in Northern Ontario,
particularly. Algoma and Manitoulin;
report ,yields considerably' below ave-
rage and large supplies will have to
be purchased for winter feeding pur-
poses. The quality of spring grain
varjes greatly, In Central Ontario,
and, particularly die southern part of
South Western Ontario, large quan-
tities of grain were damaged by fre-
quent heavy rains which blackened
the grain and straw send caused.
sprouting. Considerable grain was
put into the barns or threshed in a•
wet condition and much spring grain
will be only of feeding quality: The
yield per acre of hay and clover this
year is' estimated above average in
OId Ontario but extremely low in
most districts of Northern Ontario.
August was favourable for the de-
velopment of late potatoes, roots and
corn for fodder: Corn for husking
however, which is chiefly grown in
Essex and Kent Counties, was da-
maged by excessive rains in mid-suni-
mer and the average yield will be far
below normal, The yield of dry beans
is estimated at 17.0 bus. as compared
with 13.2 nus. in 1936, and a long
term average of 16.1 bus. Tree fruits
now being harvested are of good qual-
ity and later varieties are sizing well.
Tomato crop prospects were reduced
by dry weather at a critical period
and production will be considerably
below expectations.
SHORTAGE OF BOGS
APPEARS POSSIBLE
Reductions in hog marketings dur-
ing the next twelve months are likely
to become something of a problem
because of the increases that are oe-
curing in the no. of feeder hogs in co-
untry loadings, according to Market
Services, Live Stock Branch, Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture.
The number of pigs on farms in
Canada at the beginning of Septem-
ber 1937 is considerably less than in
1936, following a reduction in spring
farrowings in all of the principal pig
producing provinces. There is, there-
fore, a possibility that the supply of
bacon -making material available for
the export and domestie markets dur-
ing the remaining months of 1937 and
the greater part of 1938 may be
below requirements. Under such cir-
cumstances the liquidation of unfin-
ished Rigs becomes a serious problem
particularly as these are asuming un-
usually large percentages i n both
eastern and western marketings -
Considerable numbers of feeder
pigs marketed at yards and also dir-
ect to packers are being returned to
farms where adequate feed is avail-
able, but present demands may not
be sufficiently broad to take care of
an increasing volume during the next
few months, as indicated' by recent
marketings,
This potential bacon supply, it is
pointed out, should interest good
feeders of pigs who are favourably
situated in respect of feed but ate
short of pigs, The Province of Mani-
toba and Ontario, each with a very
good grain harvest, could easily ab-
sorb all the good feeder' pigs likely
to be sold off farms and could become
a more important factor in the'mairi-
tenance of the total output for bacon
making purposes 'than at present.
One of the most serious marketing
problems to be faced in Canada is the
holding..of the position the Dominion
at present has in the British bacon
market, and too much emphasis can-
not be placed on the importance of at
least holding the 1937 volume of ba-
eon exports. World production of pig
meats is likely to cost more during
the next twelve nionths than it was
in the previous twelve months. Eur-
opean countries will, it is believed,
Make every effort at least to main-
tain their present rate of output, and,
since Canada is the chief source of
import suppliesother than Denmark;
the situation in the Dominion' will be
closely watched. With the total im-
ports into the United Kingdom de-
finitely restricted, competition for the
bacon needs of that country is more
intense at present than at any .time
prior to the regulation of supplies.
Any losses in' future commitments
from the 1937 exports would be al-
most impossible to recover.
On their' record during the past.
four years as a source of farm rev-
enue hspgs are deserving of eontin-
ued support, even in, the face of eon-
ditions which indicate somewhat -in-
creased costs ofproduction. A re-
assuring feature of the situation,
however, is that there are more per-
nranent hog producers;in Canada at
tale present time, more intelligent
feeding, and a higher appreciation of
good market types and weights than
the industry.
No suggestion is made that fanners
should undertake the purchase of
feeder pigs unless their circumstances
indicate that it would be a good in-
vestment.
Successful Potato Storage
(Experimental Farms Note)
With the approach of another stor-
age season, producers should now
plan for the successful storing of the
crop. Success in the storage of any
plant product, more particularly the
potato, is dependent upon the care
exercised ingrowing, harvesting and
storing the crop. Accordingly, it will
be clear that the keeping quality of
potatoes is governed to a consider-
able extent by pre -storage practices.
Investigations conducted by the
Division of Botany have revealed that,
the wastage of stored potatoes can
usually be ,traced to bad practices
during digging and storing opera-
tions. Potatoes intended for storage
should be dug only when they are
fully mature. To reduce mechanical
injuries, the digger -should be run at
a moderate speed, with the point deep
enough so that a sufficient layer of
soil moves over the elevator to act
as a, cushion. With certain types of
diggers the shaker bars should be
wrapped with pieces of rubber hose.
Freshly dug tubers should be left for
an hour or more on the surface of
the ground to promote the drying
and loosening of adhering soil, Pic-
kers should be instructed to leave tu-
bers showing any decay in the field
and warned against pitching potatoes
into baskets or emptying baskets in-
to barrels from any considerable
height. Every care should be used
to 'avoid bruising in loading the pro-
duct in the field and in unloading at
the warehouse or cellar, The utmost
car e should be taken in t h e
storage building to avoid rough hand-
ling of crates, barrels or bags and
under no condition should walking on
the piled tubers be allowed. If time
allows and if the machinery is avail-
able, it is a 'good practice . to run the
potatoes over the grader and to 're-
move any blemished tubers prior to
fillingthe bins.
Before use. the warehouse or stor-
age cellar should be thoroughly
cleaned and sprayed with a solution
of 4 pounds of copper sulphate in 40
gallons of -water. During the first
few weeks of storage the , storage
house should be "well - ventilated in
order to carry off the moisture from
the sweating tubers. A temperature
between 36 and 40 degrees Fahren-
heit should be maintained during the
storage season.
The application of the principles
contained in this article will do much
to reduce storage losses and ensure
a good product.
Fireproof your home as far as pos-
sible by fire-saferoofing, fire stop-
ping in hollow walls and partitions
to stop the spread of flame, and a
non-combustible basement ceiling.

EPBURN'S proposed Board of Three
—a fudge, a Liberal, a Conservative—
is the sanest, soundest, most constructive
plan for removing liquor from politics that
has yet been devised.
In respect to beverage rooms the Hepburn
Government stands for the principle of
local option. It is up to the municipality to
decide for itself whether it wishes to be
"wet" or ``dry". That's British fair play.
Hepburn prevented the sale of liquor in
restaurants.
On its record of successful administration
during its first term in office, the Hepburn
Government deserves to be returned to
power—deserves the support and the vote
of all fair-minded people.
