When the sand has been fairly well controlled, there are two other grasses, namely rattail and wild rye, which have been found useful, Un- fortunately the supply of the seed of these plants is scarce. There are many areas of blow - sand which will never be fit for any- thing but the production of trees. It may be necessary, even, in the estab- lishing of desirable types of trees, first to plant quick -growing kinds, establish beach grass, or use other methods to cotnrol the sand until the young permanent trees can secure a proper foot -hold. As to crop yields on sandy soils, there appears to be little difference in the amounts as a result of the various methods of ploughing. One Fertilizer Analysis Now Takes Place of Three At a recent meeting of - the On- tario Advisory Fertilizer Board, re- lates George R. Paterson, secretary, definite forward step was taken in the adoption of a suggestion that the bugbear of the fertilizer industry, namely, too many enalyes of practic- ally the sante formulae, be eliminated, Tire suggestion was to the effect that the analyses 041124, 04005, and 0-14-6 be abolished and the analysis 1111? -6 substituted. The board greeted- this reetedthis suggestion with unanimous ap- iroval, and it is no'v being acted upon by the entire fertilizer industry^ in Ontario.

Improving Ontario Bacon, The department, has .been snaking strenuous efforts to get better prices for it, bacon hogs on the British mar- ket, About the first drove in this di- rection was made last summer when the department purchased a carlot of the Canadian national exhibition prize carlot hogs of the proper type to make sup a shipment of highest grade \Valtslhire sides for the British nla:'- het. The hogs were killed, cured, ala• shipped overseas under government supervision at every point and the special co-operation of Ontario House in London. The Ontario MLar•Icetin,g Board has been studying the situation and sev- eral meetingts of packers have result - in in the suggestion of forming an Ontario Baeo'n Export ,Assnciatiotl with the idea of creating in England a demand for Ontario bacon of the best type as distinguished from the ordinary run of Canadian bacon. As Ontario 'has done with apples and honey, the province plans to establish and control a super grade of bacon which will place Ontario bacon in a price range class equal to the highest now on the British markets, This will mean many thousands of dollars ad- ditional to the hog raisers whose price ranges are fixed by the lower export prices now unfairly applied against the better type of bacon because there is no way of distinguishing it from the ordinary Canadian bacon. 1. ,sec - and experimental cat -load of bacon, this time shipped under the super quality Big "0" Brand, is to be sent over to Great Britain shortly. The Dominion Department of Ag- ricniturc has announced a future pol- icy of bacon grading and inspection for export which will check the pres- ent tendency of the manufacturers to spoil our B'ritis'h markets with low grade shipments. Whatever grades may he established at Ottawa the On- tario brand will have higher grade re- cJuirensentts and it is the aim to place Ontario bacon at a premium and only i license the :use of this brand to pack- ers Fully .meeting its requirements.
