Advanced Registry •in swine is
catching on in Ontario. Application*
for entry are increasing' rapidty, and
the first testing station in Ontario
located at New Hamburg with 34
pens is filled to capacity, and scores
of litters will be put on test on the
breeders' farms this fall. Swine rais-'
ers are wanting td know what is back
of the sow or boar they purchase, and
the best way to provide that informa-
tion is through official feeding and
slaughter tests.

Weekly Crop Report
Reports from Bruce, Dufferin, Mid-
dlesex, Wellington and other counties
state that frequent rains during Sep-
tember have greatly improved pas-
tures, with a resulting optimism as to
wintering of stock since beef cattle
are gaining and will go into stable in
very fair condition. Warm weather
also resulted in a:•wonderful growth
for fall wheat, In Huron County all
root crops will be above the average
of 'last year. Corn -cutting and silo-
filling has been .the order of the day
in most sections. Reports of thresh-
. ings in Wellington continue to give
details of splendid yields and the
grain is of higher quality than for
two or three years. Sweet clover
seed there has yielded as 'high as ten
bushels to the •acre and while timothy
yields were not as high, good prices
are very encouraging, Haldimand al-
so reports higher yields than at first
anticipated. Mangels will be a bum-
per crop in Middlesex, so the supply
of feed for livestock will be much
larger than expected.

of encouraging the production of
bacon hogs suitable for the Export
Market, it is announced that the Fed-
eral share of the assistance offered

The Dominion Bureau of Statis-
tics, in a bulletin issued Sept, 11, es
timates the total yield in bushels as
follows: Spring Wheat, 270, 282,000
bushels; Fall Wheat, 7,022,000; Oats,
344,746,000; Barley, 68,800,000; Rye,
6,523,000; Flaxseed, 1,096,000. Yields
per acre of all grains are below av-
erage but are slightly higher than•
the revised estimates for last year.
The hay . and clover crop is estim..
.nemuc.. ated at 9,884,000 tons, the lowest on
of approved type available for public
service. If sue]) boars are from sows
qualified. under .Advanced Registry,
the bonus payable is $5.50. Applica-
tions should be sent to H. J. M'aybee,
59 Victoria Street, Toronto 2, Ont.
Crate Feeding of Poultry
Crate feeding of poultry gives the
highest quality flesh, and feeding in
clean sanitary pens makes the best
substitute. Only healthy birds of
any kind will pay for feeding. Be-
fore confining them in crates or pens
they should be given a laxative 'and
made clean of 'lice. Feed. sparingly at
first. Two to four weeks are required
for the finishing. -It bas been found
that almost any good mixture of
home-grown grains finely ground and
mixed with milk will answer.
A satisfactory finishing ration may
be composed of the following:
One part finely ground whole wheat
One part finely ground whole bar-
ley.
One part finely ground whole oats.
Fresh skim, whole or butter -milk
should be used as a mixer. This re.
tion is satisfactory for all market
poultry except geese and ducks.
Fruit Export Regulated
The new Fruit Export Marketing
Scheme, recently approved at Ottawa,
is of particular interest to Ontario
since its purpose is to regulate the
marketing for export froth Canada of
fresh apples and fresh pears. During
the past five years the average an-
nual amount of fruit exported from
the Dominion has been more than two
million barrels.
By regulating the export it is an-
ticipated that over -supplies and short-
ages of Canadian fruit on the mar-
kets of ,the United Kingdom will be
prevented .and better prices obtain-
ed. It also hoped to raise the gen-
eral standard of Canadian apples
sold in the United Kingdom. A Board
has been appointed to administer the
scheme, of which the Ontario member
is P. W. Hodgetts, Parliament Bldgs.,
Toronto, front whom Iicenses may be
secured for export of fruit. The
Board will regulate the movement of
all apples and pears exported from
Canada and may prohibit during any
period the exportation of any quan-
tity, size or quality of fruit. Assess-
ment will be made and collected on
fruit exported, such assessment to
be used to pay the Board's expenses.
No person shall export front Canada
any fruit in contravention of the
Board's regulations nor until he has
obtained a license.
Effects of Drought in Canada

record as 'compared with 11,433,000
tons in 1933 and an average yearly
production of more than 16,000,000
for the four years 1926-1930, The
fear was therefore well founded that
Canada might .be faced with a. hay
shortage, and the Order-in1Council
of August 24th was accordingly pas-
sed requiring a license for all ex-
ports of hay and straw.
The Order-in-Ccouncil has had the
effect of directing attention to the
unusual shortage of supply, and the
requiring of a license for export has
prompted those in needy areas to an.
ticipate their season's requirements,
with the result that there is now a
substantial movement of hay in 'Can-
ada, from the surplus areas to the
areas of shortage.

TAKING YOUR Dollar
TO MARKET
EVERY Year your family, and every family of
your acquaintance, spends about 70 per cent. of its
income just for living, exclusive of rent --so econ-
omic experts yell us. Think wliat this means—sev-
en dollars out of every ten invested in food, cloth-
ing, household utilities and all the multitude of
things that keep a family comfortable and happy.
That part of spending is readily understood.
But do you realize that every manufacturer and
retailer of these necessities is planning how he can
get your dollar?
It's a big job to spend so much money wisely,
and well. It requires carefulbusiness methods to
get the best possible returns from each dollar that
leaves the family purse.
The clever woman goes for help to the advertise-
ments in her local paper. There she finds a direct-
ory of buying and selling. She learns about the of-
ferings of merchants and business people. She com-
pares values. She weighs quality and price. She
takes this opportunity of judging and selecting al-
most everything she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, in-
struct and generally bring up her family.
Do you read the advertisements? You will find
them willing and able to serve you in your business
of purchase.
