JELLY COMINNG UP
Since every berry is valuable this year, young Canadians are out trying to save all of the crop. This happy
picker is not only helping in important food conservation by gathering vitamin -rich black currants, but is picking
up some extra vitamins for herself through a sun-tain.

Pastures have been better than av-

their feeding value by reason of mat-

been satisfactory growth of after-
math, but many fields were cut too
late for best results.
Milk flow has been below what pas -

though milk production has dropped
considerable, the decline has neither

Nearly all fall wheat was cut by

is now about ready for cutting. While
some early sown fields are yielding

Better tie a string around your
finger to remind yourself to go easy
on twine and rope. There's enough
binder twine to tie up this year's
crop -that is, if the crop is normal-
but it must be used sparingly on the
farms if there's to be enough to pro-
vide for emergency, demands.
Trouble is the shortage of hard
fibre, according to the Department of
Munitions and Supply. In peacetime,
binder twine was made from Java
and African hard fibres, Today, the
limited supply of these best quality
fibres is being reserved for the navy
and ocean going merchant marine.
Best available substitute for the
SPLICE MILES OF TWINE
hard fibres comes from Mexico, This
will be used to manufacture 60,000,-
000
0,000;000 pounds for use on Canadian
farms.
Despite the poorer quality,'the new
binder twine is expensive to make.
To maintain the present price" level,
the government will subsidize im-
ports.
Farmers can help by using twine
sparingly and by making sure equip-
ment is in good condition so that it
will cut threads cleanly and without
wastage. They can also help by 'tak-
ing
taking care of their rope to make it last
as long as possible.
yields may not be more than 25 to 50
per cent of' last year. The condition
of barley and mixed grain is some-
what similar to that of oats. Buck-
wheat is making good growth. Corn
fields are patchy, weedy and show
ratheh disappointing growth in most
cases due to late planting and lack of
tillage. -
In every county and district total
yields of all grains are not expected
to be sufficient for winter feed re-
quirements.
All classes of livestock are in good
condition, with numbers holding
about normal. There has been good
demand for dairy cattle, and an ap-
parent 'increase in the numbers of
young dairy heifers which are being
raised. Likewise, more yearling beef
calves can be seen on ranch lands.
Several sows were liquidated earlier
in the summer in anticipation of poor
crop prospects, and there is yet a
tendency to reduce the numbers of
hogs on farms. However, a few areas
report a slight increase in hog popu-
lation which also applies to sheep.
In Western Ontario the anticipated
production of apples now indicates
an improvement over earlier reports,
the present estimate being 3% below
the yield of 1942. Weather and moist-
ure conditions have been favorable
for tree growth and sizing of fruit.
Due to such factors as winter bud
injury and tree mortality, the 1943
crop of peaches is now estimated at
nearly 70% below that of 1942. Heal-
thy trees are making good growth
and fruit is sizing exceptionally well.
Plums-Hxcept for a much heavier
yield of prunes over last year's light
crop, other varieties show heavy de-
crease.
Grapes -Present prospects are for
a total crop of about 78% oflast
year's heavy yield,
