HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Clinton News Record, 1934-10-04, Page 60 PAGE 6 SEWS A Timely Information for th.e � Busy Farmer ( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture ) 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. 8 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. * Poultry Field Day at the Central Experimental Farm A special poultry field day on the finishing, dressing and grading of poultry will be held at the Poultry Division, Central Experimental. Farm, Ottawa on October 18th. Demonstrations and lectures will be given on fattening feeds for poul- try, crate feeding and crate feeding practices, :killing and plucking, and grading •of dressed poultry, Farmers and. poultrymen who would be interested can secure programs either through the Experimental Farm or by notifying !their local Ag- ricultural Representative. Extend Ontario Boar Bonus Policy Until Next March In pursuance of the present policy of encouraging the production of bacon hogs suitable for the Export Market, it is announced that the Fed- eral share of the assistance offered under the Ontario 'Boar Bonus Policy will be continued until the end of the present fiscal year, March 31st, 1938. Under this policy a bonus of $5.00 is offered to owners of purebred boars THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD THURS., OCT 4't11, 1934' 11.1.41106CiAia,a1.611414;4 POW IIPENINGS Of INTEIIEST TE 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.

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.

September 9, the Canadian apple ex- port season may be said to have been inaugurated on that date by the first movement in volume when the SS' Newfoundland sailed from Halifax, N.S., with approximately 13,500 bar- rels of Nova Scotia apples destined • for Liverpool. In accordance with regulations, this shipment consisted' entirely of No. 1 grade apples, most- ly Gravenstein. FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS .

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. ADVERTISEMENTS ARE GUARDIANS OF YOUR POCKETBOOK -Read Them Carefully The Clinton News -Record $1.50 a year.
