Plant ,Soybeans in Rows During the past season which was notable for lack of rainfall, growers of soybeans will have noticed the value of cultivation to this crop. The practice at Harrow has been to culti- vate soybeans similar to corn and a clean crop of good quality soybeans has always resulted. Waren soybeans are planted in rows 28 to 30 inches apart, this beneficial cultivating may be done. This distance of planting would also be an advantage over the solid drilling of the beans, in that the plants are allowed more space in which to develop and produce abun- dant beans of good size. CesStatl Beef Requirements Investigations of the Ontario De- partinent of Agriculture show that butchers, desirious of supplying sus homers with beef of a quality eligible for grading according to Dominion Government standards, are looking for carcasses weighing from 450 to 5100 pounds with a top of 600 pounds, end ,carrying sufficient finish. Such earcass,as conte from cattle weighing 950 to 1050 'pounds, with a top of men th 1100 pounds. This en butcher -cattle, steers, and heifers. best way to get good prices for our grain; market it through the poultry route. B and Commission Agents Hon, Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture has announced that under regulations of the Fruit Act of 1983 it will be necessary for all com- mission agents handling Ontario - grown fruits and vegetables to fur- nish security by the bond of a surety company in not less a sum than $10,- 000. Trucksters of fruit and.vege, tables will not be required to furnish the bond. The Department has been advised by the Casualty Underwriters' Aseo ciation that the charge for bonds will be at the rate of $10 per thousand, hi place of $20 per thousand, the form- er rate. The new rate will be retro, active to June 20, and apply to all bonds already written. All commis- sion houses will be required to se, euro bonds in accordance with- the regulations on or before Jan. 1, 1934. fteassseae Electric Light in the Poultry House It has been proved conclusively that, as the nights become longer, the use of artificial light in the laying pens will help the winter egg produc- tion considerably. The use of lights during the winter will not influence the year's total -yield to any great extent. However, they will increase production durinp� the season of good prices and a greater profit will re- sult. The high yields sometimes ale tamed in the Canadian Laying Con- tests whey, for the reason of uni- formity end comparison, no lights aro allowed, compare very favourably in the total number of eggs laid in one year with similar flocks that have had the advantage of lights during e winter, but the peak of prgduc, ion occurs much later when em ights are used. -.fn the fed calf and yearling Blass, the weight most in demand is 350 to 450 pounds, being from fed calves weighing from 600 to 800 pounds al live, sufficiently finished to be eli- gible for Red or Blue Brand Beef, I s There is also a Iiynited demand Ter p weighty steer carcasses, from 600 to a 700 pounds, to take care of the de- r mond for more mature beef, and for B supplying institutions. These should r come from steers weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds. There appears to be a vast number i of beef carcasses moving into retail channels, of desirable weight but evithout sufficient finish for govern- c anent grading. These carcasses arta Mining from all classes of live cattle; li and it would seem that this condition is due to lack of breeding or feeding, r Ontario Apples in Britain After a period of abnormally large hipments of Canadian apples, sup - lies reaching the British markets re now more moderate, and, as a esult, prices obtained for Ontario aldwins, Snows and Greenings have isen a few shillings a barrel An- drew Fulton, the overseas fruit re- resentative, reports that good qual- ty Ontario Baldwins, No. 1's are mak- ng from 17 shillings and 6 pence to 22 shillings a barrell according to olour. Some attractive Ontario Snows made 20 shillings to 23 shil- ngs and pence. Ontario Green - rigs are also making better prices, anging from 19 shillings to 22 shill camoseo li Keeping the Wool Clean Woollen manufacturers often ob o jest to Canadian -wool on account of s dirt, particularly chaff and seeds. The removal of such material is expensive, a which '• is frequently the reason for th lower prices offered. A little care on .t the part of the farmer will help cora w siderably in keeping the wool clean. to The construction of the feeding is melts is important. Have the slats on In the feeding side almost vertical; q and not morethantwo inches apart. in This will prevent the hay from fall- ing over the animals. When feeding, fill the racks from. s an alley, or keep the sheep out' of the s pen. They should also be kept, out f when the bedding is being spread. of oseffasseeo er Market Your Grain by The Poultry t ' Route ru e This is the time when previous Crate' and milk feeding tells. It makes the best turkey flesh or roast a chicken. The roasters that were not p ready for the Christmas market had 13 better be given special feed for the demand that comes hi the New Year. ti Tho million pounds of Canadian turkeys that went to England for this Christmas meant slightly higher pric- es to growers here than were receiv- ed'last year, or would have been re, eeived this year.,There is no reason why more good poultry products should not be fitted for the export market. We have the ngs for No. 1 quality. These latter rices show how unwise it was to nload large quantities of Gleanings n the British market at 12 to 14 hillings in the Fan, at a time when English cooking apples were still bundant. Mr. Fulton thinks that e prospects for good coloured On- ario Baldwins, and Greenings as ell, are likely to be fairly satisfae- ry after the New Year. Ben Dar, and Starks, however, will have to eet competition front the large uantities of these varieties eom- g from Nova Scotia in January and February. Mr. ;Fulton again advocates that teps be. taken in Canada to devise orae scheme of orderly shipments roan all Provinces, in order to head f the rising tide of dissatisfaction n the part .of English apple grow- s who naturally resent having. heir short selling season in•the fall ined by excessive supplies of ovy rseas apples, much of them cooking varieties. The English growers suggest the, doption of some voluntary'means af, reventing gluts of apples in the ritish'markets in heavy crop years. During 1983, for example, the Bri= sh markets were, continually overt,. pplied with apples from one over- as sources or another from April December, and during that time e season's crop of all English fruits ad consequently to be marketed at disadvantage. Of course the anadian fruit growers also suffer when their apples are too hurriedly dumped on markets already. over- stock and the 'cheap feed. It is the stocked with supplies. su se to th li a Championships Won Canadians at"Inter- national by n l.. at onal Hayand Grain Show,Chicago go share of the Charnmonshrp awar in the following .classes, name Hard Red Spring Wheat, Dur Wheat, Medium Late White 0 (region I). Early Oats (region. Trebi Barley, Two Rowed Bari Rye, Flab, Soya Beans (region I II), Large Field Peas,, Small Field Peas, A.O.V. Field Peas, Alsike Clo- ver, Timothy, Alfalfa (Western see tion' and Navy Beans. In the Hard Red Spring Wheat Class, in which class Canada is nat- urally most keenly interested, Can- adian entries were awarded the first thir0y-nine prizes. ,Seventy-seven awards were made in this class, of which number fifty went to Canadian exhibitors.. The winner of the let place in this class, Mr. P. Isackson, Elfros, Saslc., also captured the Grand 'Champion- ship for the best sample of wheat in the Show. The variety exhibited was Reward. Supremacy of Reward Wheat Most of the prizes in the Hard Red Spring Wheat .Cies s went to the famous Canadian bred variety known as Reward, which was, developed by the Cereal Division, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ont. This variety or iginated from a cross' between Mar- quis and an early ripening, high qual- ity but rather unproductive variety known as Prelude.Since its intro- duction in the spring of 1928 Re, ward has won 1st place in its class at Chicago each year and has also been awarded the Grand Champion- ship over all varieties and classes of wheat during the past four years ex- cept in 1931 when a Durum exhibit was awarded highest honours. It was also Reward which captured the most coveted prizes at last sum, mer's World's Grain Show at Regina, Sask. ds. ly. um ate I), ey, & It was a fortunate coincidence for Canada that not only is Reward an outstanding exhibition variety but that it equally outstanding from the standpoint of milling and baking quality, for which latter reason it is now used very largely by plant breed- ers who desire to combine high qual- Ity with some other characteristic such as high yield or resistance to rust. While Canada does not produce Hard Red 'Winter Wheat to any ex- tent and while she had only one en- try in this class at Chicago, this nev- ertheless was considered to be en- titled to first place. This sample- was •produced by Mr. S. B. Allsop, Wnnf= bley, Alta., (Peace River District.) As a producer of high class Durum wheat, which reheat is sought chiefly for the manufacture of such pro- ducts as macaroni, Canada has also come rapidly to the forefront during the past few years. This year at Chicago she won sixteen prizes out of twenty -two -awarded, including all of the first fifteen excepting the 5th, 'which latter went to a Montane grower. The Championship in this class went to Mr, Wm. Rogers, Tappen, B.C. In the two Oat Classes (early and medium to late) Canada, as usual, won the major awards. Thus in the medium to late oat class (region I) in which twenty-eight prizes were given, Canadians captured twenty- one, including all of the first eight with the exception of the 2nd. The winner in this class was Ian Smith, Wolfe Creek, Alta., who also won the Grand Championship for oats. In the class for early ripening var- ieties of oats (region I) twelve out of the fifteen awards went to Cana- dians, our neighbours to the south winning only the 3rd, 7th and llth. The 'Championship in this class went to P. J. Boss, Nbtre Dame de Lourdes, Man. In the class for Two Rowed Barley only six prizes were awarded. Of these Canada took 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th. The Championship in this class went to Jos. H. B. Smith, Wolfe Creek, Alta. In the Trebi Barley Class in which six prizes were awarded Mr. Nolo Linden, veteran seed grower of Wat- askiwin, Alta., won the Champion- ship, while aSaskatchewan grower won 4th. In the Six Rowed Barley Class (region I) the first place was award- ed a splendid Montana sample but the remaining six prizes went to Western Canadians. One of the outstanding samples in the exhibition was . an exhibit of Storm lye shown by M. S. Middle- ton of Vernon„ B.C.; who won the Championship without difficulty. Twenty-four prizes were awarded. in this c lass of which number Can- adians won nine, including the 1st and and. In the class for flax seed the Championship 'again went to a Can- adian, amadian, nine prizes out of the first thirteen awarded coming to Canada. These included the first three, The 'Championship winner in this class was Mr. It. A. Meeks, Manns= vine, Alta. In Field Peas Canada again dem- nstrated her supremacy, winning all f the prizes offered in all classes. hese included ten prizes in the large ellow field pea class, thirteen in' the ass for small field peas and eight 0 The superior development attainedShow held ;each December in Chi o by northern -.grown grain is nowhere i cago.

This disease, known :aa fin blight, t isca g, caused •b ,d a bacterial etevial Y or gansm which, under .favourable con- ditions, is capable of very rapid mul- tiplication and spread. The bacteria remain alive over winter at the mar- gin of the cankars resulting from the infection, and with the return of growing conditions in the spring they renew their activity and produce. a gummy substance known as bac- terial ooze., This ooze appears as small globulus ever the marginal surface of cankers and provides the source of new infections. This bac- terial ooze which contains many thousands of bacteria is very readily spread by wind-blown rain as well as by insects which come in contact with it. The above facts concerning this disease serve to emphasize the im- portance of the careful and thorough removal of all blighted parts. It is advisable to make several inspections of your orchards to spot'the pre, Bence of the cankers which are serv- ing to harbour the fire blight organ- ism overwinter. Removal and de- struction of such cankers reduces possible source of infection and this is an essential point in disease con- trol. The appearance of the cankers -night be briefly described. They may vary considerably in size, are pure plish to black in colour, somewhat sunken, often cracked and blistered. Generally the cankers are well de- limited by a distinct line of demar- cation separating healthy from dis eased wood. When cut into, diseas- ed bark will appear brown while healthy bark surrounding it will he pale green or creamy white in colour In pruning out fire blight cankers it is necessary to remember that the organism may extend some distance below the visible boundary of the canker. This means that the prun- ing must be done at least four or five inches below the apparent lir it of the canker. On young wood eight or ten inches is preferable, Very frequently fine blight will enter succulent, tender waterspouts and o produce` Cankers on' the supporting c limbs or trunks. These should be d watched for carefully. Such cankers - should be cleaned out, being parti. cuts r to cut well into healthy tissue, - Al! pruning wounds and tools - should be disinfected. The 'most satisfactory material for this pur- pose is one made up as follows: 1-4 RMERS in the class for peas of any colour other than the above. The Championship sample of peas was exhibited by W. G. Gibson of Ladner, B. C. with a superb sample of "Stirling", a large yellow variety. In the Navy bean class eighteen out of the twenty-six prizes award- ed went to Canadians, the Champion- ship going to a beautiful sample pro- duced in Alberta, In the class for beans of any var. iety other than Navy and Great Northern. Canada took sixteen prizes out of the twenty-four awarded. With the exception of the 2nd prize the first nine prizes went to Canadians. The sample of beans proclaimed Champion w as shown by Mr. George Batngate, Diamond City, Alta., win- ner of first place in the Navy class. In the Soya Bean Class for reg- ions I and II the first six prize win= nets were all from Ontario. This is an indication of the progress made by this Province in the production of this crop. The exhibits of Alfalfa Seed were shown in two classes based on long- itude and were designated "East" and "West.th" In e former section in which twenty-five prizes were awarded, all of the eight winning samples from Canada were from Ontario. Seven of these were among the first thir- teen prize winning lots and included the 2nd, 4th and 7th. In £he latter (Western) section, Canada took four of the twenty-sev- en, prizes awarded, including the first. The latter, shown by C. S. Sorensen, Scandia, Alta., was the Champion Exhibit for the two sec- tions. In the class for Alsike seed On- tario growers again demonstrated the plac•1 of this Province as a lead- ing producer of high class Alsike seed, 14 out of the 20 prizes offered being won by Ontario. The championship in this class went to an exhibit shown by Mr. El - seen Richert, Cayuga, Ont. As a producer of timothy seed' of quality. Canada again made 'an ex- cellent showing, winning a total of fifteen prizes out of the .twenty-six awarded, including the 1st,, 3rd and 5th. The Championship went to A M. Mongeon, Pincher Greek, Alta. The splendid showing made by Canadian grain and small seed at the International, as above very briefly reviewed, is a matter of more than passing interest. It proves; among other things, that Canada con, tinues to produce -, grain. of superior quality which is able to face the keenest eompetition from any country in the world arid win the major awards with - : comparative a ease.

IGODERICH: The death 00- curred hero on Thursday morning of Joseph Thompson at his home on Regent street in his 78th year. For the past six:years 'Mr. Thompson had lived in Goderich. Ile was born'in 'C'olborne township, the son of Thomas T. and Tamar Hether- ington Thompson, who came from England in the early part of the last century and settled in Colborne town- ship. Prior to coming to Goderich Mr. Thompson farmed successfully in his native township, where he was highly esteemed. die. was a member of the United Church, and a staunch Conservative. Mrs. Thompson, for, merly Miss Mary Cousins, passed a- way three years ago. He is survived by his daughters: Elizabeth, (with whom he lived), Mrs. William Cook, Mrs, William Frisch, and -Mrs. George Horsley, all of Pontiac, Mich.; also by two sons, William, Bluevale, and James, Oshawa. A. third son was ]til- led in a railway accident twenty years ago. The funeral was held on Sat- urday at 2 p.m. when the erarvice was conducted by Rev. F. W. Craik. GODERIOH: Although salt has been manufactured in Goderich for over 60 years, it is shortly to be pro- duced in block form for the first time, to serve chiefly the western cattle trade. A hydraulic press, costing ov- er $20,000, is at present in course of erection at the Goderich Salt Com, pany. It has a pressure of 500 tons to the square inch and a capacity of two blocks per minute. The machine which is driven electrically, is being installed in a newly erected addi- tion to the plant. Both plain and 10- dized block salt will be produced, for by Rev. D.

Dunsford, Canadian Pacific aa, countant at Sudbury who died sud- , denly on the street in that city last Friday, was held today from the resi- dence of his brother, Isaac, of Ste- phen Township, today, and was large- ly attended. The deceased, a native of Stephen Township, was in his 44th year, and after a successful course in the Chatham Business College, left for Sudbury, where he had re- ided for 22 years, with the exception of time spent overseas, where he held the rank of sergeant in the world war. He is survived by his widow, formerly Esther Guise; his mother, Mrs. William Dunsford; two brothers, Percy and Isaac, of Step hen, anis four sisters, •Mrs. Milton Russell, Mrs. W. Sanders, Mrs. M. Gould and Mrs. William Gould, all of Stephen. The bearers were R. G. Seldon, William May, of Exeter; J. Brownlee, of Sudbury; Owen Atkin, son, of Grand Bend; Homer Russell and Norman Sanders.. Attending from a distance were his widow, J, • Brownlee, o Phis staff( in Sudbury; Mrs. McWhaw, and Miss A. Kitchen, of Toronto; Mrs. Helwig, of Sudbury, and Mrs. Linklater, of Noranda, Que. The services were conducted by the Rev, M. A. Hunt, of Trivitt Memor- ial Church, and interment was made in the Exeter Cemetery. EXETER: The choir of Trivitt Memorial Church presented Arthur Middiemiss choirmaster, with an ad- dress and a purse as a Christmas gift. For some years Me. Middle- riss has directed the singing and has given his services gratuitously. CliJ EXETER: There was an espec- ially large crowd at the James Street United church on Sunday ev- ening to witness the beautiful and colorful "Pageant of Bethlehem" presented by the young people of the church.. The pageant depicted the visit of the wise men to Herod the King and of the. appearance of the angels to the shepherds as they watched over their flocks and also of the visit of the wise men to the Babe at Bethlehem. The scenery and the lighting effects added to the attractiveness of the presentation. Prior to the pageant a short devo- tional period was held. A duet was sung by Misses Pearl Hood and Mar- garet Johns and a solo was sung by Mrs. A. 0. Elliot with violin obligate by Mr. Geo, Grant. In the pageant "King. Herod" was represented by Silas Reed; the Queen by Mabel Hay; "Anna" the prophetess by Irene Van Camp; slave boy, Ray Creech and Grant Taylor; the priests, Gail Browning and Alan Fraser; atten- dant, Harry Cole; th.a Wisemen, Clarence Down, Mervin Cudmore, Garnet Hicks; shepherds, Borden Sanders, Rowe Diuney, Elgin Lux- ton, John Moore; "Mary," ,Miss Reta Rowe; "Joseph;' by Howard Ker- slake; innkeeper by Gerald Ford, an- gels, Rnbie Creech, Jean Sheere, Gertrude Francis, Mildred Rowe, Mrs..

"black root rot"' produc- ed •a fairly normal yield of tobacco' this year: Dry weather and high', temperatures during the early part of the growing season checked '. the disease from making nry.noticeable headway in; the coop. Yields of" different variety s grown on the diseased plot have beeci. recorded and it is interesting' to compare them with the 1982 results when black; root -rot was' quite severe. Haliey's Special, Judy's Pride, and Kelley - all yielded around 1200 pounds per - acre in 1933, while in 1932 the same - varieties yielded less than 400 a pounds per ace. These - varieties•. are not resistant to black root -rot.. Standup Resistant, known to be re- sistant to the disease, yielded over - 1800 pounds both years. Undoubtedly many growers ob- tained good yields on their old to- bacco soils' with non-resistant varle,• ties this year. It would be wise, however, not to depend to much on these soils for another year in case the "weather` conditions are reversed in 1934. A. cool, wet season favours the growth of the black root rot dis- ease. Time for Pruning Fruit Trees The moderate weather now being experienced in certain localities will' give the people in those sections an opportunity to get their various' fruit trees and bushes pruned. Pruning can be done safely any time after the plants become dormant and all work in this line done in early winter will allow more time for the 'hundred -and -one' jobs that turn up simultaneously when the open wea- • then arrives in March or April. Plant Soybeans in Rows During the past season which was notable for lack of rainfall, growers of soybeans will have noticed the • value of cultivation to this crop. The practice at Harrow has been to Cul- tivate soybeans similar to corn and' a clean crop of good quality soy- beans has always resulted. When soybeans are planted in rows 28 to 30 inches apart, th is beneficial cul- tivating may be done. This distance . of planting would also be an advan- tage over the solid drilling of the beans, in that the plants are allowed more space in 'which to develop and. produce abundant beans of good size.
