Red Clover Seed f Threshing of red clover seed is progressing satisfactorily in south- western tOi'tario. The commercial production of doubleecut red clover is estimated at 4,250,000 pounds as against 4150,000' pounds in 1119317. The demand is fair and since little export is expected, :buying is rather selective and cautious, Prices being offered or paid growers, basis "No. 1 grade, are ranging (between 7 and .1+2 cents per pound. In Eastern Ontario the total commercial .production of doable eut red -clover is estimated at 1,001,000 pounds as :compared, with 202,000 pounds last year. Praises Farm Clubs "One of the greatesb agricultural activities in Canada is. the Boys' and Girls' Farm Club . Work, which moves steadily on with a'record of unbroken achieventeut," stated Dr. G. S. H. Barton, Deputy Minister, Dom- inion Department. of Agriculture, speaking at the dinner on the open- ing night at the Royal Winter -Fair: "The Boys' and Girls' Farm Clubs represent an active nienvbet;ship of more than 317,1000 throughout the Do- minion," continued Mr. Barton. 'The membership has increased every year since the movement began about 215 years ago, chiefly because 01 the interest in the value of the wdr'k it means to the boys and girls in every pr6ject they undertake. The definite results are to be seen in every agricultural fair in which they take part. A new interest and a new life has been given to fairs by these clubs. But 'there have been significant developments in other directions as a result of the 'work of the organiza- tion. For example, ,potato production. in one area has been revolutionized; n another thousands of bushels of grain have been 'raised to a higher plane. Current Farm Report According to reports received from agricultural representatives, many counties in Western, Central and Eastern Ontario are experiencing a serious shortage of water supply for livestock, A light snowfall early in December aided the (flow of , water into wells, but the quantity was not enough to reduce the shortage of water to any appreciable amount. In Bruce County the T, 13. restricted area canvassing is about completed with 07%of the cattle owners in .fav our of proceeding with the test. From Huron County a carload of peaty steers weighing well over 1,400 was shipped to New York recently For Christmas display purposes. A few animals in the shipment weighed over 1,700 lbs. The cattle brought around $100 per head. At the recent Brant District' Holstein sale 33 head pf young bulls, heifers and cows sold for an average of 4153300, Due to the unusually mild weather in early Dec- ember, plowing was. quite general throughout •Southw'estern Criteria,. .\Middlesex reports a Movement of turkeys with, with best -dressed birds. bringing 22c a ib.' The hog market here has been strong at around $8.50 per cwt.
