Surplus Exceeds $400
The financial statement presented
at the recent annual •meeting of the
Ontario Milk Producers' Association
showed that aldeficit of over $4,000
reported at the .annual meeting held
in April, 1933, had been converted in-
to a surplus of over $400 by April,
1934.
Apple Regulation
It is now compulsory that all apple
and hawtorn trees within three hun-
dred yards of an orchard, the owner
of which has applied for certification,
must be thoroughly sprayed for apple
maggot or cut down prior to July let,
All spraying meet be effected in ac-
cordance with the ` recomrirendation
set forth in the official spray calen-
dar.
Milk Price Increased
As a result of action on the part
of the Ontario Minister of Agricul-
ture the price paid producers of milk,
in the Windsor, Ontario, district, was
advanced recently from $1.36 to $1.81
per cwt. This is an increase of 30
per cent. to the producers in the
Western Ontario Mink Shed. The
distributors agreed to agcept the new
price and to advance the charge to
consumers from 10e to lle per quart
and from 6c to 7c per pint.
Current Crop' Report
Latest reports from agricultural
representatives, declare that while
little growth of fall wheat has taken
place as yet, there is every indication
in many districts that the loss from
winter killing will be heavy. Ontario
and Peterborough Counties definitely
report at least 76e/a of the crop almost
completely killed. Alfalfa and civet
ers have also suirered severely in
many arens. The loss of fruit trees
is likewise serious, one orchardist in
Ontario County reporting a loss of
over three hundred black cherry trees,
while widespread damage to apple or.
chards is admitted. It is still too ear-
ly to secure definite estimates of the
injury.
The spring has been btzckward
most counties, although considerable
work on the land had been done in
Southwestern Ontario. In Kent,
Lambton and ether counties the seed-
ing program is wellunder way.
Strawberries have wintered fairly
well in most districts. The acreage
of flue -cured tobacco in Norfolk will
be reduced 26 per cent. this year as.
a result of a campaign for reduction
among the growers.
Controversy Settled
The prolonged milk controversy ov
er the price of milk in Hamilton ethic)/
commenced' on February 11th was
settled recently when the price of
milk which hacl dropped from :$1.81
to $1.41 per cwt. was restored to the
forever level. It is estimated that
the restoration of the former price to
milk producers in this area means an
additional $6,000 per week. -
Dated Canadian Cheese
In future all Canadian cheese, and
all packages containing cheese, will
be marked with the ,date of manufac-
ture. By Order in Council', ,dated
March 19th, the date of manufacture
will be applied, to the cheese within
twenty-four lours of the time it is
removed from the press.
According be J. F. Singleton Dairy
and Cold Storage Commissioner for
Canada, the adoption of this practice
seems likely not only to meet the
wishes of a substantial number of re-
tailers of Canadian cheese, but also
to have a beneficial influence in mar-
keting our so-called "fodder" cheese.
if showing the dates of manufacture
will tend to break down the prejudice
naw existing .against our late fall
cheese, the work involved in applying
the additional marks to ; the cheese;
and to the boxes, will be well worth
while.
Starlings and Weed Killers
Twla valuable circulars have just
been issued by the Department of
Agricultural Extension, O.A.C, One
is entitled "The Starling in Ontario,'
by H. H. LeDrew and J. Buchanan
and it gives the latest available in-
formation on the habits of this dis-
kmctive bird as well as advice in re,
gard to traps which have proved ef-
fective in destroying large numbers of
starlings. Illustrations of the traps
and data regarding their construction
are furnished. A request. . is made
that persons having any authentic in-
Bormation to offer about the activities
of the starlings•in their respective dis-
tricts, or having had any interesting
experiences with them, are requested
to write to the Extension Depart-
ment, O.A.C: Guelph,

More Covering Capacity
for the Money
"Tite-Lap" Galvanized Roofing is true
to its name. Every sheet, has nine
places to nail across the bottom—only
4 inches between nails. The end lap is
so tight as to be invisible, and it posi-
tively excludes driving ram or snow.
"Tite-Lap" is a development of the fatuous
"Rib Roll " which we introduced ten years ago.
It has all the good appearance ands weather
tightness of"Rib Roll but, on account of the
rearrangement of the ribs, each sheet has
greater covering capacity.
Galvanized roofing or siding offers the utmost
is durability --and "Tito -Lap" is the type of
galvanized roofing which ensures easiest appli-
cation, and most permanent weather protec-
tion, at low Cost.

THURS., MAY 3, 1934'
:NINGS Of INTEREST TO FARMERS
small trees that are distributed free
for plantation, woodllot and wind,
bjreak planting. The success of the
planting will depend largely on the
care the trees receive before they are
planted and the planting 'method.
The roots should bo kept moist un,
til the trees are planted. The trees
are shipped wit's, the roots peaked in
wet moss. They may be kept inoisr
and safe until they are planted by
several methods.
1. If planting will be 'drone within
a few days they may be left undie
Curbed in the shipping box. The box
should be placed in a cool place. The,
top is then opened and 'a'pail of wee
ter is poured through the roots.,
2. If planting is not going to 'bo
done for a week, or if there is a large
number of trees, they may be heeler'
in cultivated ground, preferably in.
the shade. A. trench is dug on an
angle of approximately 46 degrees
and the trues are dipped in water and
thdn placed along the trench with
the roots down. The roots and stems
are covered with 3"-4" sof soil and on-
ly the tops are left showing. The
soil should be pressed well around the
roots and brush or blurlap over the
trees will prevent excessive evapora-
tion from the trees and drying of the
soil. •
3. A eanvenient method of holding
small trees for planting is to fill a
tub or pail if there aro only a few
trees, two-thirds full of water. There
is no danger of the roots drying by
this method, and the trees niay be
transported to the planting site in the
tub or pail.
Tho •heti, method l of keep the trees
moist during planting operations is
to carry them in a pail with the
roots in .water,
Planting in furrows on sod land is
cheap and is usually successful on
light, sandy soil. Shallow, wide fur-
rows are plowed six feet apart if six
foot spacing is desired. The trees axe'
planted in the .bottom of the furrow
and the furrows are not turned back;
Spot planting is best in woodlot and
planting on good agricultural soils
as the trees are liable to be choked
out by the rang growth of grass,
The sod ,is removed from a 1-2 foot
square and the tree Is planted in the
centre.
It is advisable to make the side of
the hole vertical and it should he deep
enough to allow the roots to hang
straight down. The tree is laid
against the vertical side of the hole
with the tree at the same level as it
was in the nursery, The oil should
be pressed around the roots and this
can be done b(y placing the foot firm-
ly beside the tree,
Lawn Grasses
(Experimental Farms Note)
Based on results of experiments on
the Dominion Experimental Farms,
Kentucky Blue grass is the most
generally suitable grass for lawns in
Canada. Sown alone it produces . a
lawn of good quality; geed' colour
and one which normally can be ex-
pected to remain in good conditioff
with the minimum amount of attention
Colonial Bent sometimes sold as New
Zealand Bent, 'Brown Top, or Rhode
Island Bent is one of 'the non -creep-
ing bents, perfectly hardy in Canada,
of fine texture and capable of pro-
ducing exceptionally fine lawns. Col-
onial Bent one part, Kentucky Biu'
grass feu. parts and the mixture
sown at a rate of three pounds per
1000 square feet is generally.reaom-
mended for ordinary lawn purposes
Grass seed sold under the name of
Creeping Bent, mixed Bent or
German Mixed Bent is not a
Creeping Bent at all, but a
mixture principally of Colonial Bent
with Red Top and containing small
percentages of true Creeping Bent
types and sometimes Velvet Bent.
This so-called Creeping Bent varies
greatly in turf producing qualities
depending on the proportion of the
different kinds that make up the mix-.,
ture. White Dutch clover at •about
one-quarter ounce per 1000 square
feet can be added with advantage to
the Kentucky Blue, Colonial Bent
mixture.
Where a particularly tine lawn is
desired Colonial Bent or New Bruns-
wick Creeping Bent produces the
dense, even fine turf desired on put-
ting greens and for those who will
give a lawn putting green attention
this type of bent can be recommend.
ed. Creeping Bent, grown from stol-
ons is not recommended at all for
ordinary 'lawns. Velvet Bent of
which a limited quantity is grown in
the .Maritime Provinces produces an
exceptionally beautiful lawn but
should only be used where extra care
can be taken in maintaining it.
Where drought conditions are par-
ticularly
articularly severe, as in many parts of
the Prairie Provinces, Crested Wheat
grass is the only grass for lawns
which will survive. Without water
during drought periods, it does dry
out, but unlike other grasses suitable
for lawns, it recovers quickly when
moisture is available and will give ex-
cellent results where other grasses
are complete failures. Red' Fescue
of which there are two types on the
market, ordinary and creeping, give:
fair results under dry conditions, but
does best when moisture is present
Both types must be maintained as a
very thick sod otherwise their bunch.
ing habit produces undesirable turf
Red Top will produce a good quality
lawn but the surface is only a tem-
porary 'ene which at•best can be ex-
pected to persist for only' one or two
years after seeding. For shady plac-
es Rough Stalked Meadow grass
Wood Meadow Grass or Sheep's Fes-
cue can be sown alone for in a Mix-
ture with Kentucky Blue and Beni
grass.

A COMMENT
A very unnsual bequest wee re-
ported in the Amherstburg Echo last
week. Mr. Iler, a veteran school tea-
cher who died recently, had a clause
in his will by which The Echo was
to be sent to his son for the duration
of his life. This shows a remarkably
high appreciation of one of Ontario's
liveliest weeklies.—Barrie i:aminer.
DOGS DESTROY GEESE
Tho dogs ief the community seem
to use the "Mountain" •in McKillop
as a gathering place or some kind of
dog forum, and their .mischievious
conduct is a source of annoyance and
loss to the neighbors. The ether ev-
ening three geese were destroyed by
dogs in a field • behind the barn on
the farm of G. Aberhart, who has
suffered loss' in previous years from
the same .cause. Some time ago dogs
attacked a turkey on the farm and
were beaten off by a . valuable gob-
bler which died later friam wounds.

WEDNESDAY HALF HOLIDAY
Most Godkrrich merchants will con-
tinuo Wednesday' afternoon closing
nesday, May 2nd, will be the first day
of the early closing. Shops will
close at 12.30 p.m. from that date tans
til the end of September.
The decision was arrived at during
a meeting on Monday when a large
number of merchants gat .togethe-
to disease a common problem. An
effort is to be spade to have all mer-
chants follow this lead' and also to
agree not to keep open in the even-

conditions and that no business is
lost, through early closing, provided
everyone adapts the same practice.

THE WINNER
Here is an incident that is mighty
suggestive. A farmer approached a
blacksmith with the worn steel points
of his tractor prow. The paints in
that condition were Worthless. "Can
you point them for me " inquired the
farmer. "I never did sueh a thing in
my life,"; was the reply. "Then 1
know of no blacksmith who earl do
this work. My plow Is going to be a
costly affair unless I can get some
help." "Leave them with me and I'll
see what I can do," replied the knight
of the tongs and the hammer:
The result? The blacksmith gave
himself no rest' till he found a way
of turning this trick. There was no
end of study and experimentation on
his part, but he finally' succeeded
where :othersit
w h less vim had fail-
ed. And the rest of it? During the
months when his tirade has a falling
off he drives a brisk trade mend-
ing plow points. One year his res
turns in this Bne netted him several'
hundred dollars.
This incident is but typical of what
this mechanic is doing ,every day. He
is inventing bis way forward. While
many (other mechanics are walking
the streets this man is as busy es
the proverbial nailer, "There's. a way
to do every job that eat be done at
the forge"and it's up to me to find it,"
he tells you.

A. E. Duncan, editor of the Wier -
ton Comedian Echo, seems to have a
vivid imagination somewhat stimul,
ated by his sojourn down south. He
writes:
"You remember the skit I wrote
some time ago on Agnes Macphail
and her aspirations. Well, recent
events •indicate that she is getting
some sense, I will make the predic•
tion that Agnes' name will not be ori

irne of the first senators appointed by
W. L. Mackenzine King when he gete
back into power.• Agnes, being a
woman, got mixed up in her political
thinking. A political idealist is nev.
er a safe leader to follow. I would
like nothing better than to have a
heart to heart talk with her. I'll bet
she is 'a wiser girl than she was ten
years ago and I'm sure can tell much
that is interesting."
In the first place there may not be
a senate vacancy, if and when Mr.
King gets into power. In the second
place Miss Macphail readily admits
that she .has learned a lot In the pass
ten years, but in some respects she
may be no wiser.
It was wisdom, however, for her to
diesassociate herself from the C.C.F.

tions.
