Garden Slug Control Garden slugs are frequently numer ous on heavy land where they do con siderable damage to beans, lettuce cabbage, cauliflower and similar crops Like other pests, slugs can be more easily controlled if remedial measures are applied when the animals are small and few in numiber. To contrt them, the infested plants (and the slugs) should be dusted with hydrated lime in the evening when the sun has gone down and 'feeding has corn menced. Care should be taken to cov er the upper anti lower surfaces of the leaves and the soil immediately sur rounding the plants. Hydrated: lime is effective only when in the form of a light, dry ,powder. Lime becatnes hard when subjected to moisture and in that condition is non -injurious to the slugs. For this reason, a few light applications o lime at intervals of three or four days much nore effective than one heavy dose. Another method of control fre quently recommended is to spray the infested plants thoroughly with I3or dealt mixture. This material is repel lent to slugs, and if th.e foliage of the plants is completely, covered by the mixture, the slugs will confine their attention to weeds growing in the field. . Current Crop Report Haying operations have been com- pleted aver a considerable section o the province, 'with reports of good quality hay being 'general. Prospects in Halton county for an alfalfa seed crop are practically negligible and most alfalfa will be cut for hay. Al- sike however is filling out well. A much -improved quality of hay is not- ed in Haldimand, where grain crags are also doing well. The alsike acre- age being left for seed there is much above normal, almost equal to that of ,v29. The red clover acreage is also quite large there. Lambton reports its corn crop well -advanced and showing a good growth. Pastures there are in fair shape and there is an abundance of white clover in pasture and on road sides. The hay crop was 'lower than expected in Lincoln. Spring grains are going to be short in stalk there and a report of an outbreak of army worm In wheat fields and meadows has been received. Livestock in Mid- dlesex have splendid pasture, though many of the western cattle are heavi- ly -infested with warble lilies, Several loads of .dairy cattle have been brought in from astern Ontario, largely for replacement of herds be- ing T. 13. tested in the London ,dis- trict. Tobacco is making rapid growth in the Norfolk area and conditions so far have been ideal, with no 'hail da- mage reported. Crops are looking fine in Oxford, with wheat 'beginning to turn and showing a good stand. Corn ,and root crops are coming along well under favourable growing conditions. Earlier varieties of oats are well out in head in Wentworth and are of fair height. The strawberry crop there has been very light , and the .price firm The yield from canning',peas will be below average in Hastings. There is a much ,higher percentage of clover this year than last itt the Muskoka and 'Parry Sound District, Prince Ed - ward County enjoyed rains whieh were badly needed, in fact most of Eastern Ontario ,profited by an abun- dance of moisture ,which fell two days in early July. The strawberry crop in Lennox and Addington dropped off very shorted the last, with prices hold- ing around la cents per box. Pros- pects for peas in that county do not look too good owing to dry weather, The hay crop in Renfew was the heaviest on record, alfalfa and red clo- ver on many fartns ,running ,froin 34 tons per acre. Two heavy rains great- ly revived crops of spring grains on light fields and heavy clay, where the crops were suffering for lack of mois- ture. trade for well finished thickens. With feed costing less this season it ap- pears that it will be more profitable than ever for. .producers to properly finish their chickens, The best demand on the export market is for a medium weight chick- enit was felt that it would he ad- visable to manket as many ,cookerels as possible at a dressed weight of three to ,five pounds. Producers pres- ent at the meeting said this could be done with good finish on the birds, by keeping them on full feed 'until they reached the desired weight. Translated in terms of the individu- al producer's operations, the market- ing of a certain percentage of his chickens at export weights is a form of insurance of the 'balance of his crop. Poultry "To avoid possible congestion on the poultry market during the ,present year it is advisable that poultry pro- ducers should market a portion of their chickens at between three and ,five pounds dressed weight and take particular care to see that they are fattened 'before sale so that they can be exported if necessary." • This was the conclusion arrived at by a widely representative meeting convened under the auspices of the Poultry Industries Committee of On- tario to consider steps to be taken to 'handle the 19318 crop of dressed poul- try. Last year the American market took upwards of six million pounds of Canadian poultry. This year it appears that this amount will be very materi- ally curtailed on account of lower prices. 'Notwithstanding the lower prices on the 'American market this year, a good deal of confidence was expressed that, with the small stocks of poultry in storage this year and the favoura- ble outloolk on the British market, there is an outlet to take care of all the we'll Ifinished pouttry ,Canadian producers have to offer. Canadian chicken, as a result of previous ex- ports, is in *good demand on the ,Bri- tish market and prices there are high- er than they have been for many years. To bring the best prices poultry has to be well fleshed and fattened to the point of grading Millefed A or Milk- ed B. It was painted out that a sub- stantial premium is .offered by the Gather Eggs Often 'Eggs should be gathered at least twice a day, .and three times .daily is better during hot weather. The time af one gathering should be just before -dark fis near to it as possible. This last gathering may not produce a great number of eggs, ,but since broody hens will oommonly search out the nest containing eggs after the day's laying has ceased, failure to ga- ther late in the day is a .common source of distinct deterioration. Each gathering should be placed in the coolest part of the ,cellar if no other cool spot is .available, as soon as gathered. Eggs should not be put into cartons or cases immediately if this can be avoided. The ideal container for 'cooling eggs is a wire tray. A wire basket is the next 'best, and 'perhaps the most practical. These ibaskets are ordinarily offered for sale as waste paper containers. Weed Control Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their city, town, village or township by notifying their municipal council or weed inspector as to the whereaibouts of noxious weeds in the locality. The Weed Con- trol Act passed in 027 by the Ontario Government, and since amended, places the responsibility of weed 'con- trol directly on the shoulders of the municipality and weed inspectors.

It is the duty of the muni- cipal authorities to see that these weeds are destroyed as soon as they have 'been notified by interested citi- zens (yourself for example). Clause four of the Weed Control ,Aict reads--1"Every occupant of land, or if the land is unoccupied, the own- er shell destroy all weeds designated as noxious 'by the regulations, as of- ten in every year as is sufficient to prevent the ripening of their seeds." It is the duty of each municipal council to appoint at least one Weed Inspector and to set the remuneration he is to receive. These inspectors are responsible 'far seeing that the pro- visions of the Act are enforced in their municipality. The Weed Control Act itself will not 'control a single weed. It depends entirely on definite human action, and the scope of this .delfinite human ac- tion will depend on the force and ex- tent of community opinion on the mu- nicipal council: You and your neigh- bors can bring about quick action in the eradication of weeds by making "everybOrty's 'business" your business. Copies of the Weed Control Act and information regarding .control of weeds will be gladly forwarded free of charge on request, by the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. De- partment of Agriculture,. Parliament Buildings, Toronto. Condition of Vegetables Prospects for Vegetable production are considered good. Frost retarded the growth of early potatoes in the early producing areas, and severely damaged green 'beans in lEssex Coun- ty and a few other localized areas. Moisture supplies have ,been sufficient .up to the present but rainfall is needed now in some sections for continued development Condition figures re- ported by correspondents show vege- table crops generally in average to somewhat above average condition at the 15th of Tune. The total commer- cial vegetable acreage is about • the same in Eastern 'Ontario and slightly higher in Western Ontario. Sugar Beet Crop . The acreage of commercial sugar beet crop is •estimated at 27,000 acres this year. The sugar' beets ben come along fast and .give every evidence of being a good crop. Thinning opera- tions have been carried out and the stands are excellent. . The contract price of sugar 'beets calls for a mini- mum. of 0625 per ton •for beets deliv- ered to the factory and 415.510 for de- livery to outside weigh stations with a •bontts of 25 cents per ton for each ane per cent of sugar in !the beets above 1.14 per cent. Owing to abnormal climatic 'condi- tion, alsike seed production declined iharply in (Ontario in 19317, exports falling off lbadly this season as a re- suk. Only about 200,000 pounds were sent to .the United States, but a few shipments were con- signed to the United Kingdom and. other countries. This .is a different showing as compared with a few years ago when annual .exports amounted to. 8 to million pounds. A much larger erop, lhowever, is ex- pected for '1154318 as the alsike was win- tered well genera:111y and there is a much larger acreage in Ontario 'than for some years.
