Timely Information for the
Busy Farmer
Furnished by the. Department of Agriculture )
Sow Thistle Menace
The worstweed in Ontario at the
present time is Perennial Sow This-
tle. Areas where this weed has
made greatest progress are now able
to report from fifteen to thirty per
cent less Show Thistle than three or
four years ago.
Weed Control is a public problem
and can only be brought about ef-
fectively by the united co-operative
efforts of every property, owner, ev-
ery occupant of land, municipal
councils and Departments of Agri-
euture. The great majority of citi-
zens realize the weed menace and
the tremendous loss involved due to
the presence of weeds and in time
public opinion will be sufficiently
strong enough to cause united effort
in weed control in. the Province of
Ontario.
Weekly Crop Report
Reports from, all parts of Ontario
indicate that recent rains have ef-
fected a marked improvement in the
crop outlook. Grey County reports
all spring -sown roots and potatoes
doing exceptionally well. In North
Simcoe prospects are for a fair
yield of oats and barley. An in-
creased acreage of potatoes, corn and
soybeans is seen in South Simcoe.
The hay crop is bound to be light in
most districts. The tomato crop in
Essex is likely to be light as plants
have been hard to get and of poor
quality, also hundreds of thousands
of tomato plants died. From Lamb -
ton comes the report that timothy
and red clover meadows will not av-
erage half a ton of hay per acre.
Spring grain looks exceptionally well
in the Lambton district. Strawber-
ries will be a light crop throughout
Southern Ontario. Crops are in
good condition in Prince Edward.
Eastern Ontario has also enjoyed
rains which have completely changed
the agriculture picture.
Chemical Weed Killers
Pure sodium chlorate, or patent
products with a sodium chlorate bade
have been found effective as weed
killers, according to A. H. Matin,
Ontario Department of Agriculture.
Pure sodium, although cheaper, is
inflammable and must be handled
'with even more care than gasoline.
The usual • solution is one pound of
weed -killer to a gallon of water.
This is sufficient for 100 square feet
of weeds. The mixture should be
applied with a pressure sprayer, and
all leaf surface thoroughly covered.
"Perennial Sow Thistle" can he
killed by spraying just before it
blooms and again one month later.
"Blue Weed," "Burdock," "Wild
"Oxeye Daisy" can be killed with
one application applied a day or so
after the first blooms appear.
"Field Bind Weed" requires two
applications, one when it is in full
bloom and the second 2 months lat-
er. "Wild 'Chicory" should have two
applications, one at flowering time
and ene a month later.
Treat "Canada Thistle" after a
heavy frost in the Fall by scattering
sodium chlorate crystals on the this-
tles at the rate of 1 pound per 100
square feet.
"Poison Ivy" may be killed by
spraying any time during the grow-
ing season.
Growers' Markets, Council to promote
the consumption of Ontario -grown
fresh vegetables for salads.
Generally, by the end of June, a
glut of produce on the market makes
it diffieulb for the grower to get his
goods into consumption. It is felt
that by advertising to the Ontario
house -wife during Salad Week the
economic and health advantages of
home-grown salad products, a huge
volume of fresh vegetables Can be
disposed of, to the benefit of produc-
er and consumer alike.
During Salad Week, erops of sal-
ad vegetables in Ontario will be at
the peak of abundance. , There will
be plentiful supplies of outdoor let-
tuce. Home-grown new cabbage
will be available •in big volume. Caul-
iflower, beets, carrots, radish, green
onions, hothouse tomatoes and cu-
cumbers and other salad favourites,
will be pouring in from Ontario s
rich garden lands.
Dietitians and cookery editors have
assured their cooperation. The De-
partment, through its radio broad=
casts, will feature new and attractive
salad menu suggestions each day
during Salad Week. Retailers will
make big window displays of locally -
raised vegetables and display posters
bearing the slogans: "Serve a Salad
Every Day," and "Ontario Farm Pro-
ducts are Freshest and Best."

A Commendable Plan
A praiseworthy experiment is be-
ing carried out this year at a small
school in Elgin County where the
teacher has inaugurated a plan
whereby the pupils will put their
lessons in farm practices to the test.
Each pupil is growing a certain ex-
perimental crop on his or her own
farm, the products being varied to
provide a wide range for field study.
Some 'of the pupils are testing varie-
ties offlint and dent corn for husk-
ing; others are cultivating hay and
ensilage crops; while the remainder
are experimenting in soybeans for
seed and fodder, table or sweet corn,
mangels, sugar beets, field' carrots
and turnips. Each test plot is two
rods in length and one rod in width.
Seed was obtained, free of cost,
from the U. A. C. in connection with
the experimental work conducted by
that institution. It is likely that this
plan will be recommended: for gen-
'eral adoption in the rural districts.
Ontario Salad Week
With the endorsement of the On-
tario Department of Agriculture, the
week of June 25-30 has been desig-
nated Ontario Salad Week. Through
out the Province, retailers and whole
toilers of the fruit and grocery' trades
are co-operating with the Ontario
INTEREST TO FARMERS
potatoes, strawberries, watermelons,
rye, and buckwheat, do better on our
more acid soils. In contrast, alfalfa,'
sweet clover, asparagus, celery, let-
tuce, onions, and peas, are lime -lov-
ing crops, and much better results
can be obtained on less acid soils.
Such crops as red clover, corn, oats,
Wheat, barley, soybeans, and tobacco,
prefer an intermediate soil acidity
somewhere between' the two above-
mentioned groups. Some of these
crops tolerate a wide range of acid-
ity, while others are more specific in
their requirements.
Where .a field is not producing the
crop it should, the acidity of the soil
may be a limiting factor. 'In such
eases it certainly is advisable to have
the soil tested for acidity. Soil sam-
ples should be carefully taken -with.a
clean spade at representative places.
in the field. A sample from a very
productive area is often helpful for
comparison. Qpe-half pint of soil is
sufficient for such a test, but this
should be taken from a well mixed
larger representative sample. A brief
history of the field should accompany
each soil sample, which can either be
mailed or brought to the above ad-
dress for determination.
"Lambs of Quality"
An important statement entitled
"Lambs of Quality," has just been
issued by the Industrial and Devel-
opment Council of Canadian Meat
Packers, as follows:
The production of good quality
wether and ewe lambs of suitable
weight and finish will continue to
be encouraged this year.
Commencing on July 2nd in On-
tario and the west, buyers will pay
two cents a pound more for ewe and
wether lambs than for bucks.
The markets will pay up to a
cent a pound more for lambs of good
quality up to 90 lbs. at the stockyards
and plants than for lambs from 90
to 110 lbs., and up to two cents per
pound more than for lambk over 110
lbs.
Farmers have for years been urg-
ed to meet the simple requirements
of the market in order to secure top
prices by castrating all male lambs
and finishing and marketing lambs
within the desired weights.
The manner in which the producer
has responded to the market require-
ments is well exemplified, by the de-
crease in the offerings of buck lambs
during the season when they are
most objectionable. The appreciation
of the value of quality by farmers
has resulted in a decrease in the
marketings of buck lambs at Toron-
to from 10.6 per cent from August to
December in 1926, to 1.8 per cent for
the same period in 1933. At Mon-
treal the improvement in quality by
the elimination of the "buck" has
been slower but was reduced to 8
per cent. in 1933 compared with 33
per cent. in 1926.
It is further urged that all pro-
ducers should make money bry: '.
Docking all lambs early in the spring.
2. Castrating all male lambs when
from ten days to three weeks old. 3.
Feeding all lambs so that they will
finish at weights from 75 to 85 lbs.,
not over 90 lbs. 4. Picking out of
the flock the earliest and fastest
growing lambs and marketing them.
5. Marketing lambs as soon as they
are ready as the price will probably
be higher early in the season than
in the late fall. 6. Avoid all losses
on buck lambs and on lambs either
too light or too heavy.

Benefits of a Soil Acidity Test
Condition of Ontario's
Fruit Crop
The Statistics Branch of the On-
tario Department of Agrieulture pub-
lishes the following report giving the
condition of the commercial fruit
crop in the Province of Ontario or
June 15th.
The condition of fruit crops in On-
tario on June 15th, 1933, and June
15th, 1934, is shown as follows:- (1
-poor; 2 -below average; 3 -aver-
age; 4 -above average; 5 -exception-
ally good).
Condition Condition
June 15,1933 June 15,193"
Baldwins 3.2 1.2
Ben Davis 2.8 1.7
Greenings 3.5' 1.7
McIntosh 3.1 s 2,.8
Spys 3.2 1.7
Starks 2.7 1.7
Cherries 2.8 2.3
Grapes 3.0 2.7
Peaches 2.8 1.8
Pears 2.7 2.3
Plums 2.7 2.0
The production of strawberries in
the Province this year is estimated
at 5,950,000 quarts compared with
10,825,000 quarts last year, and
raspberry production is placed at 1,-
695,000 quarts against 2,421,000
quarts in 1933.
The Cherry crop will be slightly
below average. Poor pollination con-
ditions during blossoming reduced
the set in many orchards. Sweet
cherry bloom was light to very light
in extreme western parts of the Ni-
agara district but heavy in other
areas. Tartarians show considerable'
premature ripening and poor fruit
development. Sour cherries, although
bloom was heavy, promise a good
crop in some areas only.
Pears show promise of a fair crop
in practically all varieties, while
disease and insect pests are well un-
der control.
Plums had a heavy bloom in most
varieties, except Damsons, with set
conditions patchy according to local-
ity and varieties. There was consid-
erable drop in Japanese varieties due
to drought, but crop prospects for
these varieties show an increase over
last year. Drought has retarded tree
growth, and, no doubt, affected adver-
sely the "comeback" of slightly wea-
kened trees.
Grapes are the most promising
fruit crop this year. Red and white
grapes suffered considerable winter
injury and late frosts killed a per-
centage of 'buds in some districts.
Concord and other varieties, howev-
er, which constitute a very large pro-
portion of the 'whole crop, present a
good appearance with fair clusters
showing in most vineyards. Adult
Grape Hoppers are very abundant
and will require thorough spraying.
to effect control.
Indications are for a small peach
crop. Winter freezing injury, cold
weather during blossoming, and the
following drought, have had serious
effect on bloom set, and the trees
themselves. This condition is par-
ticularly evident in western and
south-eastern areas and local or-
chards throughout the whole of the
Niagara district. Eibertas, Swans,
and older. Crawford varieties have the
poorest prospects. There is practic-
ally no leaf -curl nor other pests, with
the exception of a slight infestation
of ' peach aphids which are well un•
der control.
The promiscuous use of lime to
sweeten the sail may be a wasteful
practice, depending on what crops
to be grown and the acidity of the
soil. On the other hand, some soils
have become t oo eddy a n d
are in dire needof lime.
When the question of liming arises
the first step should be a soil acidity
test. An active -acidity test together
with a knowledge of crop require-
ments as to soil type and acidity will
determine to a large degree the suit-
ability of soils for various crops.
Such a test will indicate quite defin-
itely whether lime is required. Where
lime is needed, the quantity required
to reduce the acidity of a particular
soil to a proper point for a specific
crop can be determined. This is one
of the services rendered by. the Do -
Minion Experimental 'Station, at
Harrow, upon request.
Many of aur common, crops prefer
certain soil acidity for best growth.
As the soils in this district are acid,
it is the degree of acidity that de-
termines the suitability for any par-
ticular crop. Some crops, such as

WINGHAM: Large congregations
were in attendance at both services
at the United Church on Sunday
when Rev. L. H. Currie, B,A, bade
farewell to his congregation to go to
his new charge in London next Sun-
day. During Rev. Mr. Currie's so-
journ in Wingham he worked in
harmony with the various congrega,
tions, which was in evidence on Sun-
day evening when Rev. Mr. Smith of
the Baptist Church withdrew his ser-
vice, and assisted Rev. Mr. Currie
with practically all his congregation
attending the service as well. Fol-
lowing the evening service, there was
an after meeting in the basement to
give the congregation and friends an
opportunity to say farewell to Rev.
Mr. and Mrs. Currie and their son,
Allison. The chairman, F. R. How-
son, then called upon Rev. and Mrs.
Currie and Allison, along with sev-
eral members of the board to come
to the platform, when a very appro-
priate address was read by Dr. R. L.
Stewart, and a presentation consist-
ing of a beautiful silver tray, nest
of tables and a lamp were presented
to Rev. and Mrs. Currie and to Alli,
son a fountain pen and pencil, by
the boys of the Triple V Class. In
expressing their appreciation of the
beautiful gifts, and many kindnesses
extended to them while in Wingham
they extended an invitation to all to
visit them in their new field of labor.

ONTARIO HUNGER STRIKE BE--
INC ORGANIZED
Unemployed Making Specific
Demands
At the Provincial Council meeting
of the Ontario Workers' Federation•
on Unemployment held in Toronto,
March 12th and 13th and on the basis
of proposals made by Unemployed'
Organizations from the Niagara Pen-
insula it was decided to instruct the -
Executive Committee "to make streni
uous efforts to organize a Hunger
March in the Province of Ontario dur-
ing the summer months of the year
1934." In accordance with this decis-
ion it was decided by the Executive
Committee and endorsed at the last•
Provincial Council meeting held June
3rd in Toronto, to organize the
GREAT ONTARIO 'HUNGER -
MARCH AND CONGRESS AGAIN-
ST UNEMPLOYMENT to Toronto,
July 30th -August 1st.
The deplorable and almost intoler-
able situation that is prevalent among •
the toiling masses of Ontario, espec-
ially that of the unemployed - the -
inadequate provisions made for reliefs'
the disparity in the scales of relief,
the wholesale evictions and foreclos-
ures, the miserable lot of the single
unemployed and working women and'
children, the perspective of future
insecurity --splayed a major factor in
getting the above resolution unani-
mously endorsed by the 62 delegates
who attended and who represented '
38 organizations and 21 different
rnunicipalities.
The main demands of the Hunger
March aro as follows:
1. Cash relief, 50 per cent above the
Campbell Report for food, clothing-
and
lothingand rent. That the Provincial and
Federal Governments assume full re- •
sponsibility for all relief expendt.
tures.
2. The abolition of the slave camps.
The immediate cessation of all forc-
ed labour and task work. That all'
single unemployed workers, residen-
tial or unattached, male or female,
be given $6.00 a week for their main-
tenance. That trade union wages
and conditions prevail on all relief '
work projects.
3. That all unemployed recipients
of relief be supplied with adequate
household necessities, kitchen uten-
sils, bedding, stoves, etc.
4. The enactment by the Provincial'
Government, on a Provincial scale the
Workers' Bill for Non -Contributory
Unemployment Insurance.
A meeting of the feeders of beef
cattle in Huron County is being held
in the Firemen's Hall, (above the

Around these demands the Ontario -
Hunger March Committee believes
itself in a position to rally thous-
ands of unemployed workers to par-
ticipate and demonstrate in support
of the Hunger March. Reports front'
many localities show that the idea of '
a Hunger March is meeting the ap-
proval of the workers and much en-
thusiasm is being displayed.
During the Provincial elections •
various promises were made by the
Candidates regarding unemployment,
relief and unemployment insurance.
The Hunger March is the weapon of -
the working class to remind them of '
their promises and force them to
make their promises good.
The workers will. March from Wind-
sor, Niagara Falls and points west to
Toronto. The first contingent on the •
road is expected on July 15th from
the border cities. The contingent'
will leave Niagara Falls around the,
23rd of July and will march to Ham-
ilton where they will join the main ..
march directly into Toronto.
We are sending you this informa-
tion as we are to every newspaper in -
Ontario with the idea of clearly bring-
ing forth the position of the unem-
ployed workers, the reason for their •
desire.
We hope that you; will give this •
document some publicity in your pa-
per and we will be pleased to forward'
you any furter information that yow
desire.
