You certainly need to keep the lien onthe sugar bowl these days, With Ontario fresh , fruit ripening, there's the basic con- sideration of storing fruit for the winter months.

' From coast to coast you've argued this; but the National Research coun- cil tabled a report in the House that wheat is a costly raw material for in- dustrial use; the quantity of it which could be used would contribute in only a small way to the solution of our surplus problem.

The failure of the grass could be attributed, not directly to the increase of cinquefoil but to the drought conditions pre- vailing for some time previous. Silvery cinquefoil grows in the thinnest and shalldwest of 'soils and is rather partial to limestone regions. Examination of .information disclos- ed.by a survey shows for the mari- time arrtime Provinces an incidence of 4 per cent; Quebec and eastern Ont- ario 10 per cent; Central Ontario nearly 16 per eent; and the lake Superior region 7 per cent, In other words, a distinct peak of incidence in Ontario and Quebec declines to' 'ward the acid sandstones of the Last and the granites northwestward, While silvery cinquefoil grows on nearly neutral soils and can survive or increase under adverse soil condi tions unfavorable to grass,it does respond to the better environment of a good deep loam. One plant in such a situation at Deschenes, Que,, near Ottawa, had a spread, on the ground of 25 inches, the longest of 67 pros- trate stems being 15 inches long. The plant was found to have approx- imately 3,500 flowers and maturing fruits with an average of 72 seeds in each, which would yield at this rate, over 250,000 seeds. The plant, al- though having a perennial root, is re- produced by seed, Mowing the pros- trate stems leaves it almost undis- turbed, and at the same time scatters the seed, These Hate history particulars would suggest, as an insurance .ag.' ainst' undue increase in drought per- iods, that the humus content of the soils should be maintained by manur- ing or ploughing under occasional crops first grown for their smother- ing effect. Where the quality of the land warrants it, application in the spring and fall of ammonium sulph- ate '(when obtainable) provides plant, food for the grass, and the more acid reaction advantageous to the grass rather than to cinquefoil, Fields un- • der tillage present no great problem in dealing with this weed. Return of normal moisture conditions" may be expected to correct gradually the sit- uation created recently, but many pastures' should receive the addition- al stimulus to grass as suggested.
