Timely Information for the
Busy Farmer
( Furnished by the Deparbnent of Agriculture)
Storing Poultry Meats I be culled out for the mere fact that,
Experiments are being conducted
at the Central EXperhnental Farm,
to determine the optimum storage
temperatuk el of petal Imeabs and the
most satisfactory method of packing
them. The information this obtained
should prove valna'ble to those plac-
ing poultry on loeal or export mar-
kets. At present it is recommend-
ed that commercially packed dressed
poultry Should not be held longer
than two or •three weeks ,at tem-
peratures above 32 degrees F.
Storing Potatoes
When going into storage, pota-
toes should be as dry as possible.
All diseased or danutged tubers
should be sorted out. The best stor-
age temperature is from 33 degrees
to 35 degrees F. Storing potatoes in
the basement of a dwelling house is
not, as a rule, satisfactory owing to
the difficulty of providing proper
ventilation. Many thousands of
bushels of potatoes are lost each
year through storing in faulty cel-
lars, closely constructed bins and
where the temperature is too high.
•
Handling Eggs
'Eggs should be collected at least
once daily, and during very cold and
very warm weather collections should
be made at noon and night to avoid
freezing or heating. The eggs
should be taken at once to a cool cel-
lar, where there is a fairly uniform
low temperature. It may be advis-
able to open one or two windows and
substitute screens covered with
cheesecloth to carry off odour or ex-
cessive moisture. Dirty eggs should
be cleaned with coarse sandpaper,
but not washed. Stains may be re-
moved with a little vinegar on a
clean cloth. Washing eggs destroys
the protective coating and lowers
the grade.
Current iCrop Report
Threshing operations have been
slower than usual, due to the bulki-
ness of the harvest. Canners are
now completing a satisfactory pack
of corn and tomatoes. Fodder corn
is being cut, the yield is above aver-
age. Late potatoes give poor pro-
mise. Recent tests show a reduced
sugar content in the sugar beet crop,
but the tonnage is expected to be
well above that of last year. Early
varieties of apples, while smaller
than usual, are a good yield. Later
kind are patchy and yields will be
light. Plums are being shipped to
Great Britain in large quantities.
The pear crop is below normal. A
large percentage of an exceptionally
good tobacco crop has been safely
harvested, It is estimated that the
yield for the Norfolk area will be a-
round 30,000,000, pounds, with the
quality on the whole well above aver-
age, 1 !
Crop Production
The Department gives the total
production of Spring wheat in 1935
as 1,867,000 bushels, as compared
with 1,803,000 bushels in 1934. The
oat harvest will yield 87,224,000 bush-
els, an increase of 5,698,000 bushels
over last year. The average yields
are slightly in advance of 1934, that
of spring wheat being 18.9 bushels
per acre, as against 18.7 last year,
and an average of 19.6 for the past
decade, and of oats, 36.7 bushels,
compared with 34.1 in 1934, an ave-
rage of 34.84 for a ten-year period.
As for barley during the last ten
years, the! crop has averaged 15,945,-
000 bushels. The production this
year, the report says, will be 17,050,-
000 bushels, an advance of 2,308,000
over last year. A near -record crop
ef hay and clover is reported. The
weather and other factors have, how-
ever, brought in some sections,
grains to too rapid maturity and
have adversely affected the late po-
betel' yield and root crops, as well as
the sugar beet and tobacco produc-
tion.
The Time Fer Cuflig
According to most practical poul-
trymen culling should be a continu-
ous and constant process. All the
bird e that are poor doers, either
hens or pullets, should be eliminated
before they become seriously ill and
used as market birds. In chicks these
can be determined by slow growth,
• small shanks, shallow heads, narrow
backe, etc. Hens that stop laying
• early should be culled out, Those
whiohehow evidences of anaemic
qualities should be culled out. Ev-
lery bird that is doing poorly should
if not culled out, it is, liable to con-
tract disease snore easily than 'those
that are doing well.
•
Hens should be. culled out from
the middle of May on. Those which
stop laying the last .of May and dur-
ing June, July ,and August certainly
should be eliminated and those which
lay into September, October and
November should be kept for breed-
ers. If you want next year 50 breed-
ers in a general way, keep the 50
that stopped laying the last. Of
course, always cull for dieease.
Call the Poultry Flock
Poultrymen are advised to 'cull
their millets beftfre putting them in
the laying pen for the winter. All un-
deiveloped pullets should be prepared
for market as they would make poor
producers. Birds which appear to be
unthrifty should also be removed. If
yearling 'hens are to be kept over to
serve as breeders in the following
spring, and no trap -nest records are
available, cull out all birds which are
early moulters, those showing yellow
shanks or beak, those •showing coarse-
ness in the head and those Possessing
hardness or excessive fullness in the
abdominal regions. The best layers
are the late moulters which will be
found in broken or ragged feather at
this •season. They will
possess clean cut heads, bright prom-
inent eyes, lack of yellow pigment in
beak, legs or flesh colour, and above
all, they will have abdomens which
are soft and pliable. Rely on these
late layers for your future breeders.
Transplanting Trees
Wlhen trees die after transplanting
the cause may oftekt be ascribed to
lack of sufficient care on the part of
the transplanter. Trees and shrubs
should be dug out as carefully as
possible so as to retain a, large pro-
portion of the roots. The more roots
there are, the greater the chance the
plant has of living, The roots. should
not be allowed to become dry from
the time of digging until the trees
are in the ground again. They may
be protected from drying in transit
by protecting them with wet moss or
wet sacking, If the roots of ever-
greens, especially pines, become dry
even for a short time, the trees are
almost sure to die. Wlhen planting, a
hole should be dug large enough to
that the roots may be spread out and
not crowded or doubled up, The hale
should also be deep enough so that
the tree will be one or two inches
deeper than it was in the woods er
nursery. If the soil is at all poor, it
should be discarded if possible and
the hole filled with good soil which
should come in close contact with
the roots and be trodden down.
Manure should not be put in the hole
with the eon as it may leUrn the route
er make the soil so loose that it will
dry out easily.
TO ENCOURAGE AND ASSIST
PRAIRIE FARMERS TO PLANT
TREES
To increase the general interest
in farm tree planting on the Pariries
especially in the areas that have been
affected by drought and soil drifting,
the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Ad-
visory Committee, will supply suitable
nursery stock free of charge to
farmers and give some financial as-
sistance for certain special projects.
The policy of supplying individual
farmers on the Prairies with free
trees from the Dominion Forestry
Stations at Indian Head and Suther-
land, Sask., will be continued as in
the past for the establishment of
Farm Home Shelter Belte, and also
where desired for field crop shelters
or hedges.
Operators of all Illustration Sta
tions and District Experiment Sub -
Stations will be given special assis-
tance in order to develop shelters
which it is hoped will provide model
plantings in each district covered by
these Stations. The trees will be
provided free and express prepaid.
On Reclamation Areas the Prairie
Farm Rehabilitation Advisory Com-
mittee will bear all costs of planting
and maintenance where tree planting
is considered necessary.
In Keeler to secure reliable data on
the value of tree belts and hedges in
protecting cereal and forage crepe
assistance will be given to groups of
farmers who will voluntarily arran-
ge for the purpose of planting Field
Crop Shelter Demonstration Blocks.
Such groups •must agree to surround
and subdivide their fields with shel-
ter hedges and ,also follow Such cul -
INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION
OF AGRICULTURE
The International Cohmission • on,
Agriculture which embraces the In-
ternational Union of Agricultural
Associations representing agriculture
in all parts of the world held its
general assembly at Brussels and
Gentbloux, Belgiuin', recently. The
League of Nations, the International
Labour Office, the •International In-
stitute of Agriculture, and the In-
ternational Qe-operative Alliance
were represented, together with 110
delegates from various agricultural
organizations in different parts of the
world. The three principal questions
before the Commission were the or-
ganization of agriqulturae peliduct-
ion under planned economy, the ed-
ible fats problem, and the limitation
of pig breeding and fattening, with
reference bo the special pig breeding
attempts being made in Denmark and
Holland.
The assembly devoted special at-
tention to the present world condition
of agriculture, arriving at the con-
clusion that in spite .of the fact that
useful measures had been taken in
several countries since 1932, the con-
dition of agriculture had not improv-
ed, in most countries. ' Therefore,
the Commission adopted a declara-
tion insisting upon the different re-
quests of its Lausanne declaration
and setting up new proposals. In
effect, this means that the two main
problems to be solved in order to
overcome the agricultdral crisis are
those of wheat and edible fats. On
the one hand, the Commission is con-
vinced that the London Wheat A-
greement (1933) ought to be pro-
longed and improved, while, on the
other hand, as regards edible fats,
the old civilized countries ought to
take measures, or imprthre the exist-
ing measures, to prevent the con-
sumption of tropical fats and whale
oil where they handicap the normal
consumption of butter and lard. The
Commission's declaration also lays
stress upon the necessity of improv-
ing the prices of agricultural pro-
duce and of reducing the cost of pro-
duction as well as increasing con-
sumption. The next assembly of the
Commission will take place in Oslo,
Norsvay, in 1936.

Chualdin Plays Famous Suite
Alexander Chuhaldin's October 7
presentation of his international ex-
change "Sinfonietta" program will
highlight the famous Robin Milford
Suite in six parts. The Suite begins
wibh the Prelude, continues with the
Air, the Minuet and Trio, the Quick
Dante, the Slow Dance, and ends
with the Jig. The 9.30 p.m. spot is
reserved for this program which will
also be carried by NBC.
World New e Interspersed
Listeners interested in world af-
fairs should enjoy the regular Sun-
day afternoon broadcasts of Profes-
sor Herbert L. Stewart, of Dalhousie
U'niversity, Halifax. Prof. Stewart
has gained recognition through his
brilliant interpretations of the news
and his frank, unbiased opinions.
These programs are carried by all
tural methods as may be considered
best for the particular district and
soil type. These blocks should be as
compact as possible, should comprise
from nine to twelve adjoining farmm.
and be eivenly distributed over the
three prairie provinces in these areas
where soil drifting and drought are.
the main problems. ,
Members of Agricultural Improve-
ment Associations under a Disteict
Area plan may secure free trees for
home shelter belt plantings. The
number of trees supplied to eaele
farmer under the District Area plan
will depend on local conditions, with,
a maximum of 10,000 trees and cut-
tings per farm. Financial assistance.
in planting under supervieiorr may
be granted.
In areas selected for Township
benuonstrations farmers will be giv-
en all possible assistance in planting
farm home shelter belts and possibly
some financial assistance for plant-
ing, but detail's of such assistance
have not yet been definitely settled,
All the tree planting work and'
projects will be under the direction -
of Norman St Ross, Chief, Division',
of Tree Planting, Dominion Forestry
Station, Indian Head, Sask., to whom

DOINGS IN THE SCOUT
WORLD
England has a special campsite for
"Special Test" (physically or merit -
ally handicapped) Scouts, Wioodlarks
Camp, near Farnham, Surrey.
Moncton Mayor Joins the Scouts
In the presence of a large gather-
ing of Boy Scouts and visitors from
the city, His Worship Mayor T. II.
King of Moncton was invested as a
Scout at the district summer camp.
The impressive ceremony took place
about the camp fire.
An Antidote For Discouragement
"The danger of boys of adolescent
age •becoming discouraged because
of inability to find employment is
greatly lessened by Scout training.
Scouting builds up a boy's character,
enabling him to stand up against
misfortunes, and to look beyond him-
self."—Lord Baden-Powell.
Star Gazing Finance
Again illustrating the traditional
the Bolton, Ont., Scout Troop, to
raise camping funds, secured the
loan of a large telescopeand adver-
tised "peeks into the heavens" at a
moderate fee. Their announcement
in the local paper described the stars
"now showing."

Helping Handicapped Boys
The last Scout census showed 4,740
Special Test (handicapped) Bey
Scouts in the British Isles. They
comprised 2,062 crippled boys, 438
blind, 5921 deaf and dumb, 1,466 men-
tally deficient and 182 epileptics. The
Scout training and atmosphere has
been of great value to these boys, in
many cases giving them an entirely
hew outlook on life,
A World Working For Peace
"The 4,000,000 Boy Scouts and Girl
Guides throughout the world, all im-
bued with the spirit of friendliness,
are a great leaven working for world
peace and brotherhood. In addition
are the several millions who have
gone through Scout and Guide train-
ing. The young men have a will for
peace, and the application of the
Scout Law in business life makes
for better standards."--dsord Baden-
Powell.
The five Canadian manufacturing
companies specializing in lawn mow-
ers produced 24,469 machines in 1934.
Up to 1930 Canada was a net im-
perter of canned vegetables but
since that year has become a net ex-
porter to an increasing extent, the
exports in 1934 being higher than in
any year since 1929 when shipments
of tomato products to the United
States (where the pack was short)
were exceptionally heavy.

r
RAILWAYS REVENUES':
The gross revenues of the all-ine-
elusive Canadian National Railways
Systeino for the week ending Sep-
tember 21, 1935, were $3,905,367 as
colutP'ared with $3664809 for the
corresponding period of 1934, an in, -
crease of ;220,558.
GODERICH: Frank Riley, who,
has been in the employ of the Cana-
dian National Railways for the past
sixteen years as telegraph and relief
operator, was appointed town ticket
agent on Friday last. Mr. Riley re-
ceived notice of his appointment
from the passenger, express and
telegraph department, Toeonto. He,
replaces J. A. Lawrence.
The total number of pedigree .cer-,
tificates registered during the month
of August, 1935, by the Canadian.
National Livestock records, approv-
ed by the Dominion Minister of Agri-
culture, was 6,170. Of that number
252 were horses; 2.559 cattle; 1,002
sheep; 640 swine; 17 foxes; 662-'
dogs, and 38 goats (11 Nubian, 13
