Couch' Grass Eradication After 'harvest cultivation is one of the most effective' methods of oontnolling couch grass. This me- thod 'consists ,of plowing the infest- ed area immediately after the first cut •of hay bas been harvested, thor- oughly working the land during the •remainder of the season and replow- ing in the late fall. In the following spring this treatment must be fol- lowed by an intertilled crop or a smother crop such as buckwheat. 'Celia grass 'is a most persistent weed and its growth* must be kept down for at least six months in or- der to secure complete eradication. This requires treatment during two seasons where crops are being har- vested each year. Will Assist Farmers to Purchase 'Seed. Grain To assist farmers in the pur- chase of seed grain, the Ontario Gov- ernment is prepared to accept two- thirds of the responsibility for loans for that purpose, Hon. T. L. Ken- nedy, Minister of Agricultrue, told the Legislature. He readthe fallow -- ting statement to the House: ~ "The representatives of the De- pa'ttment of Agriculture in practie, •ally every county in the province have been approached in reference to the purchase of seed grain, In quite a number of counties there is a scar eitay of seed grain and in practically every county there are farmers with. out seed grain and without sufficient credit to enable 'them to secure it. "Due to these extraordinary condi. tions it is proposed to ask the county councils to appeal to the bank and to SWUM loans under Section 88 of the Banking Act for the purchase of seed grain in order to assist those farm- ers within their municipality who ap- ply to them for help. "In the event of counties losing any money in connection withthe repayment of these loans the Gov- ernment is prepared to accept twos thirds of the responsibility, providing the munio'ipalities accept one-third." Getting Ready For the Lambing Season Lambing is the shepherd's har- vest, and it is also his most exciting time. Everything must, therefore, be in readiness for the conking of the new crop, Ewes heavy in lamb require more pen and feeding space, if overcrowd- ing and losses are to be avoided. Toro feet of feeding space is the minimum' required. • Large flocks should . be divided by putting the ewes expected to lamb first in the warmest and most com- fortable pen. Have the fleet level, dry, clean and well bedded. If possible provide e- quipment for making individual lambing pens. Folding hurdles are very handy for that purpose. The ewe is much quieter if kept alone.

For biting insects (cater- pillars, cutworms, etc.) three poisons are commonly recommended, arsen- ate of lead, arsenate of lime, and Paris Green.

Advisory Fertilizer Board Organization of the Ontario Ad- visory Fertilizer Board is an action •which will result in 'mutual service and greater satisfaction to the buy- ers and sellers of fertilizers in On - tank, -according to 'Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture. The hoard Will •acit as liaison be- tween all fertilizer interests in On- tario, both 'manufacturer and user, and those .charged with the admini- stration of the Fertilizer Act of the Dominion Government. At the first meeting of the organization, Dr. Har- court of 'O.A.C. was appointed chair- man; E. K. Tlampson, Potash Com- pany of Canada, was named vice - ;chairman, and George R. Paterson, Ontario 'Department of Agriculture, secretary. Other members of the board are: W. R. Reek, Experimen- tal Farm, R:idgetown; W. J. Bell, Ilemptviile Agricts/tenet School; R. S. Duncan, Director Agricultural re- presentatives Branca; W. J. W. Len- nox, Dominion Seed 'Branch, Toronto; J. K. Perrett, tobacco speeialist, Sim. coe; J. J. Tierney, Brockville; E. F, Falmer, Vineland 'Station; C. Dei - worth, Weston; A. L. Smith, 'Presi- dent, Eastern Canada 'Fertilizer As- sociation, and A. illooney, Secretary, Eastern Canada Fertilizer Associa- tion. Holding the number of fertilizer analyses within practical limits is indicated by the M.tnister of Agricul- ture as one of the primary objects of the board. In the past, many fertil- izers were marketed of analyses so similar that even 'the most intensive tests failed to show any appreciable differences when applied to the soil. Such a condition was bewildering to buyers and of no possible advantage to manufacturers. FIND MANY TREES SEVERELY INJURED Growers Warned Not to Prune Heavily -Bridge Grafting May Aid While it is of course too early to tell whether fruit trees have suffered root injury as a result of the excep- tionally low temperatures of the past winter, there is no doubt that con- siderable injury has been done to main branches and trunks of the ritore tender varieties of apples. An - cording to a speical committee which has been investigating the extent of damage throughout the province, the varieties which have suffered most are Baldwin, Wagner, Russett and to a lesser extent, Greenings. `freesof other varieties that bore a very Ina - try erop of fruit last season, ar which were weakened for any other reason, have also suffered. Outside of Southern districts, pears, cherries and grapes have suf- fered extensive fruit bud- killing. Con- siderable damage has been done to the trunks and branches of pears,' Japanese plumsand sweet cherries. In view of the fact that the injured trees will be much weakened, with recovery dependent on a healthy kaf and root surface, the committee re- commend to growers that badly in- jured trees 'should be left unpruned until the extent of the injury is clear, Only very light pruning should be done on those trees. showing •mod erate injury. Injured trees (bearing fruit should be very heavily thinned, or, where feasible, all fruit should be, removed. Where the tree is worth saving, any considerable killing areas on the trunkand main branches should be bridge grafted. In this way it may be possible to save many injured branches and trees that would otherwise die in the next few years. Does Legume Inoculation Pay ••••••••......41.111 (Experimental Farms Note) The practice of inoculating the seed of legume crops with nitrogen - gathering bacteria . was first intro- duced in Canada almost thirty years ago, when early studies at the On- tario Agricultural 'College in '1905 de- cLitiTOIN NEWS-RPC+OR Report of Easter Examinations In Public Schools of the District INTE Report of S. 3, No 4, Goder]ch Pr. -.Margaret Cooper. townslii]>: r Best speller for March: Jim Buck= Sr. 4th -Mary Thompson, 89; Mar- nee. garet Lobb, 74:; Billie Wllliaret, '03. -Eleanor E.

Since then much knowledge has been gained concern- ing the factors affecting the success of inoculation under practical condi- tions until now it is regarded as a distinct aid to good farming practice. In spite of this there are doubtless many areas where treatment of le- gumes would have meant improve- ment to crop and soil. - For more than ten years the Divi- sion of Bacteriology of the Domin- ion Experimental Farms has been co- operating with farmers to study the success ef inoculation as tarried out by them under practical conditions. Out of 1,800 field trials reported, 78 per cent indicated a benefit, while in those eases where the Crop was grown for the first time 81 per cent were favourable. In half the cases where no ibenefit was reported, both treated and untreated craps grew well, pointing to the presence ,of the proper bacteria in the .soil. It should be remembered that in-- oculation is but one factor in legume production, and that the benefit will be most apparent when other condi- tions are favorable. Adverse lcli- uratic and soil Conditions affect ban- teria as well as the crop, so that drought, poor drainage, soil sourness, etc., cannot be remedied by treating the seed. Legume inoculation is distinctly worth while, is cheap and never harms a crop, but it should be re- membered that the better the seed, the soil and cultural conditions the better will be the chance forthe useful bacteria to perform thein work. Caring for Hatching Eggs +Best results are - obtained When eggs far hatching are protected from extreme heat or cold. They should be gathered promptly and kept at a fairly. even .temperature of 50 de grees or 60 degrees F. and not over 70 degrees or the germ will develop slowly. As a rule, a well -ventilated cellar is the best storage room if it Is free from objectionable odours. Clean eggs are best; but a small a- mount of dirt is preferable to wash- ing. Scrape off any dirt that may be present, as washing • removes the bloom or protective coating and per- mits of too rapid evaporation when placed in the incubator. Fresh eggs will give the best results; but they should not be held for more than ten days or two weeks at the most, and then only ander favourable condi- tines. To keep the germ from rising and sticking to the shell membrane, eggs for hatching should be turned once or twice a day. Wihen setting, the position of the eggs in the tray is not important. However, they should not be overcrowded and in no .

SEAFORTH: The hockey season of 1933-34 was wound up on local ice Saturday night when the Seaforth Baby Beavers were forced to bow be- fdre the Rural All -Stars 4-2. A good crowd was treated to many fine plays although the ice was not in the best condition owing to the Spring bmeak- up. Throughout the entire game, both teams worked In close on each goal. Both goalers put up an exhi- bition equal to any sensatiwnal stops made on local ice this winter. The Beavers' speed was 'hampered by the soft ice, and probably they had not met such a back -checking, hard-hit- ting bunch as the All -Stars this win- ter. DUNGANNON: Word has been received bere that tentative plans had been made by Rev. J. A. and Mrs. Walter ef West China, for their intended departure from China for Canada, on board the Empress of Russia. The journey is 'being made owing to the critical illness of their son, Donald, 18 years old, who has been for some time in Peiping Union Medical College Hospital, a Rocke- feller institution. Two operations failed to reach the seat of the trou- ble, a tumor in the brain, and mean- while X-ray treatments are being us- ed in an endeavor to effect a cure, Following a three -years' pastorate in Dungannon United Church, Mr. and Mrs. Walker sailed for China in November, 1929. In addition to their son, Donald, they will be accompan- ied by their daughters, Edith and Ruth. : GODERIC'H: The Square pre- sented a gay and animated scene on Saturday afternoon when the Dolls' Easter Parade, sponsored by the Lions Club of Goderich, was held. The little girls -one hundred and fif- ty of them --who proudly wheeled or carried dolls of all ages and sizes, ranged in age from fourteen to two ears. The -ems y gaily decorated car- riages and tricycles were a pretty sight. Petite "mammas" wheeling the carriages in which were baby dolls, lady dolls and dolls of other nations. Then came a small regi- ment of girls carrying dollies spec- ially dressed for the occasion front the demure little rag doll to the splendid lady of fashion. Daintily dressed baby dolls seemed in the ma, jority. Not only were there ,dolls, but teddy bears, live dogs, bunnies and Easter eggs passed before the spec- tators in gay procession. It was a Iovely, colorful scene, The band was in the lead and set the music and time to the short steps of the little children. One Little girl's carriage held a doll whose age was thirty years. WINGHAM: Rev. L. H. Currie, pastor of the Wangltam United Church, informed his congregation an Sdnday that he had received a call to the Wellington Street United Church in London. A congregation- al meeting was called for Wednes- day evening to receive Mr. Currie's resignation and to make prepara- tions for his successor. EXETER: The annual cantata given by J smes Street United choir was again a success. This year the choir chose "The Risen Christ" and under the organist, R.
