Among the shippers to the process- ed milk markets, the 'production per cow serves more as a gauge of a''far- mer's ability rather than as an im- portant 'factor in the efficiency of his m•Blk production, because of the vary- ing types of farms in this ,processed group. Production per cow is an important factor affecting farm returns. There are a few farmers producing milk profitably with an average production per now ranging from 6,000 ,to over 110,000 lb. This wide range at which mirk may be produced profitably ind- icates the action of other factors which cannot be ignored completely.

On farms shipping milk to city markets there was an increase of nearly $2,00 in labor earnings For every increase of 1;300 lb. production per cow up to 9,000 1b. but on farms with a production exceeding this mark a slight decrease of labor earn- iris Iran disclosed, Ott these farms a high production may he attained by ,paying less attention to some other farm work. \With each increase of Perennial Vegetable Crops Of Importance The importance of having aspara- gus, rhubarb and horseradish ,grow- ing. in the garden for both home con- sumption and marketing can hardly be stressed too strotsly, states T. F. Ritchie, Division o 'I Horticulture, Cent. Exp. Faris, Ottawa. In the first place these three crops are true per- ennials, very hardy and are an imp- ortant source of revenue to the grower. They also possess certain value as food plants, .particttlarly the two former which are always itt de- mand in the early spring, Horseradish is used to quite all extent .as a 'condi- menit, Asparagus is an old world plant that hal been introduced into practic- ally every country in the world. While rich, deep friable loam sails provided the minus supply is suffici- ent to keep ehe soil friable. Being a gross feeder, asparagus requires the application of manure in abundance along with supplemental applications of fertilizer. t yi e Rhubarb is also a very yry hardy y p of plant and without doubt is in many cases the most abused crop around the garden areas. Manure in abundance should be applied to main- tain a plentiful, .humus `supply. Pre - planting soil preparation is very es- sential; The manure should be spread of the laud, ,plotughed in and thor-• •ough 'harrowing done, Spring planting is best, ,using single bud root pieces from healthy crowns. The root pieces should be set in rows 4 •feet apart and spaced ,from 2 to 4 feet apart in, the row.
