BOTANICAL NOTES FOR.
OCTOBER
(!Experimental :Farm Notes)
The supreme beauty of •the country-
side, at this season, cannot 'be ade-
quately described; but it can Ibe seen
and admired by all. Everyone will be
Stimulated both physically and men-
tally by spending a day in the woods
in close 'communion with Dame Nat-
ure and her cornucopia of fleeting
magnificence, as she chants the soul-
stirring ''lNunc Dimittis" of her de-
parting botanical year.
Leaf, fruit and fungus all share in
the making of this transitory loveli-
ness and 'bounty, so •often portrayed
'by masters of literature and art. "Lith
erat= is very ancient, but nature is
older •far, Words are wonderful, but
the life .of things aound you is more
than words."
The scientist will not allow us to
linger in our sweet ignorance of the
cause of our 'beloved autumnal tinted
leaves. He says that these gorgeous
'colors are not due to frost, as is gen-
erally supposed, but to the ,presence
of waste products.
With the 'first retreat of vitality,
and the withdrawal of the sap to the
*roots, the red and gold, the ,orange
and .the purple are but the mingling
of many chemicals in the leaf, held
apart when the 'foliage is in full vigor.
When the leaves have performed
their functions, when the fruits have
appeared, matured and ripened, vege-
tation has entered into a new phase;
the leaves lose their brilliant green.
But whatever 'may Ibe the variety of
shades which leaves take in their de-
cay, a certain air of sadness pervades
these ornaments .of OCT fields, which
proclaims the imminence .of the cold
season. Cold will soon arrest the sap
and disorganize the leaf -stems; the
withered and deformed will soon cum-
ber the aground, to Ibe blown hither
and thither by the wind. It is the sea-
son of the fall of the leas with all its
melancholy associations.
But everything in Nature has its
use. Leaves 'huddled together .at the
foot of the trees, or which'lrave been
disseminated by the autumn winds
,over the naked .country, disintegrate
slowly upon the soil, where they are
transformed into vegetable mould
,(otherwise ,known as humus) indis-
pensa'b'le to the life of plants. Thus
death prepares for new life, as the .old
must always give way to the new.
"There is no death! What seems so is
transition.
This life of mortal 'breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
whose portal we call Death."
Wild fruits and fungi add useful-
ness as well as 'beauty to October's
brilliant, if sad, requiem. The wild
edible fungi, mushrooms or toadstools
in their various weird forms and
colors, await the collector who
knows quite well what delectable
dishes can be 'prepared from tie puff-
balls, coral fungi and a host of oth-
ers quite unlike the ordinary wild
mushroom in appearance, but with a
flavor just as good.
,Many people hesitate—and rightly
too -to eat any form of wild fungus
'because they lack the,knowledge
necessary to recognize the poisonous
from the edible kinds, But this know-
ledge is accessible by means of fas-
cinating study and observation, which
will lead to the acquisition of many
delicious dishes hitherto 'undreamt of.
In order to meet the demand for
this knowledge, a work has 'been pub.
lished entitled 'Mushrooms and Toad-
stools by. Gussow and IOdel, obtain-
able for $11 from the King's Printer,
Government' Printing Bureau, Ottawa.
It is written in comprehensive and
non-technical style; indeed in a way
which will appeal to those with little
or no previous knowledge of fungi.
The book contains 1128 ;plates, with
hundreds of illustrations; chapters on
how to recognize the various forms of
fungi; hints to collectors; fungi as
food; suggestions for the preparation
of fungi for the table; poisoning by
fungi; mushroom culture, together
with other information indispensable
to the would-be student ,of fungi.
With •the passing of October gard-
eners are, once again, offering up the
sweet incense of 'burning plant re-
mains—those beloved friends 'whom
they have reared with .such tender
care' from ,birth. Dame Nature seems
to take her well-earned vacation;
when some piapts die; other enter
upon what appears to be a period of
repose. But the evergreens are always
with us—smiling and serene—as oases
in a snowy .desert.
"•Olt, the 'glad sounds of the ' joyous
earth!
The murmurs that live in the moun-
tain pines."
—E. W. Hart,
Current Crop Report
Yields per acre of spring grains are
considerably higher in Ontario than
in 1191317 and 10136, in both of which
years yields were (below normal. Pres-
ent estimates in'd'icate that the yield
of spring wheat, oats, and 'barley will
Ibe just about normal. Fall wheat was
below average with a large quantity
of.the grain produced in the northern
counties of Western Ontario rather
poor due to shrunken kernels caused
by rust and late frosts. Oats are ge-
nerally reported to be of good ,quality,
'but barley is only fair to good with
some discolouring and a considerable
amount of light grain. Rust -resistant
.varieties of spring wheat are of good
quality, but the non-resistant types
were affected by rust, especially in
Eastern lOnitario.
The yields of spring wheat for On-
tario as .a whole is now estimated at
16:6 bushels per acre as compared
with 117 bushels in 79317 and a preced-
ing ten-year average of 1119,2 bushels
Oats are placed at 36.17 bushels per
acre as compared with 312,"6 bushels
bast year and a ten-year average of
313117 bushels. For barley the yields are
3/fit 28,18; and 30.6 bushels per acre
for the sante ;periods respectively, and
fall wheat 217,AI; 26,0; and 24.7 'bushels.
The first estimate for hay and clover
Production shows the average for the
province at 1.69 tons per acre, which
is the same as a year ago, with the
yield in Southern, Western and Cen-
tral Ontario lower than in 119317, slight-
ly higher in 'Eastern 'Ontario and con-
siderably greater in Northern Ontario.
Pastures are reported in good con-
dition for this time of year in practi-
cally all counties except Middlesex,
South Siincoe, .and the four or five
counties along the 'St, Lawrence Riv-
er where supplementary *feeding dairy
cow's has been resorted to on account
of poor pasturage. Mille flow during
August was well maintained and was
albove normal. Live ;tock are in aver-
age condition
'Late crops .generally give promise
of good yields, with the exception of
potatoes which are reported to be 'be -
law average in most counties due to
insects, dry weather, and 'blight. 'In
many fields the ntinrber ,of tubers per
hill is reduced, although the size and
quality are good. The main .crop of
'buckwheat is now in full blossom and
promises a very good yield' through-
out the greater .part of the province,
but in the counties along the St. Law-
rence hot weather which prevailed at
a critical period will result in below
average yields. Corn for ensilage has
natured unusually early this season
