NEWS OF HURON AGRICULTURE FEDERATION The Ontario Federation of Agricul ture in a telegram to Huron Count farmers suggests that farmers wh are buying feed at'the present tim should consider the possibility o ; purchasing Ontario winter wheat it place of more expensive Western . Canadian grain for feeding of poul- try and hogs. This purchase of surplus Ontario wheat will serve two good purposes, The°farmer buying the grain will re - 'sive a lower priced food and he wil be helping to eliminate the mai •urplus of Ontario winter wheat that depresses the market at this time of year. Many farmers who are in the financial position to do so are stor- ing their wheat at home or in elevat- I ors in the district. The cost is approx- imately 1?5c per bushel per month. If today we had our soft wheat marketing scheme in operation the soft wheat board could buy up the surplus and store it and put it back on the market next spring when the demand is increasing and 'the millers supply has dwindled. This would give a better and a more even year around price than the present system of rushing it onto the market in the late summer or early fall and having a dwindling supply the following spring $2.00 a bushel is not an excessive price to ask for a bushel of wheat when you consider it in relation to the price of other grain. Today we pay $50.00 per ton for western screenings, This is a salvage product conning from the cleaning plants at our western elevators and at the head of the Great Lakes. It is made up of cracked wheat, shrunken wheat, wild buckwheat, sometimes a bit of flaxseed, barley, wild oats along with other weed seeds. At the present price of our Ontario wheat you can buy a ton for $50.00 or $10.00 less than you pay for screenings which is a salvage product. The rom June to late July droice pped as much as 60e per bushel. It will be interesting to see if the price of pastry flour drops ac- cordingly. This is a drop of $1.00 per cwt. With bran selling at $60.00 per ton and it is a by-product of wheat, there can be no excuse for keeping the price of pastry flour lip. Many farmers who have been ac- customed to selling their wheat to rite millers to make flour have signi- fied their intention to feed it to their livestock. Perhaps before another eron year rolls around we will find Ontario wheat in short supply. The meeting called by the Federa- tion o'' Agriculture at Montreal on July 20th did not bring• forth any so- ,ution tr no feed problems in East - err t. ane i<.. One recommendation 1i +s ramie stat might, if zieted upon retain wily fifty :term of thio rich, 1 i i,.ve some of our diftlrtil .e, `lar C oitt'erence t•ecoutmended that trod- , ittg in coarse grains on the Grain Ex- l change be discontinued and that the 1 Wheat Board be viten She responsi- bilzty of marketing these grains and t ring that an adec,nats: supply was l available for P:aetern feeding put - poses. This reetenteendation Inas Ibsen forwarded ,o the C'anttlian Fed. leration d- uration of A •ricuittue to be discussed !at their September meeting. In all our efforts we resemble those ', of the Allied Command during the ladestages of the last war, (too to late) By the time the Sep- tember meeting takes ;lace and the recommendations are handed to our Government the Eastern Canadian ,grain harvest will be completed and the heavy demand for western feed grafi eased. There is one oonsolation; we may have some protective legisla- tion for the future, PLAN FOR TESTING PROGENY QF BEEF BULLS A new plan for testing the progeny of beef bulls will give Ontario beef breeders the opportunity of finding whether or not their herd -sires are producing the kind of animals which will put the most money in their pockets. The new plan will be the first of its kind in Canada, according uto Ontario's Minister of Agriculture, Colonel the Honourable T. L. Ken - f nedy. He said the test will be based i t on the three most' important factors in producing quality beef on an eco- nomical basis—the rate of gain on feed, the economy of gain on feed and the carcass quality of the pro- geny of a herd -sire when slaughtered. For the actual test, four steer calves, sired by the bull to be tested, must go into the test station, which will be located in a barn an one of the farms at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph. Each calf in the group must be out of a different darn. The calves must be nominated before they are two months of age, must I be weaned when six months of age and delivered to the test station with- in two weeks after, weaning. The four calves in a test group must be de- VARNA A number of Orangemen and their families attended the 12th of August celebration at Guelph on Saturday last.

It is a common saying among hostesses there, The cynical word that is going the rounds is this— if you give your guests Iots of drinks it doesn't matter what food you offer them. That seems to be one way to accomplish the degrada- tion of hospitality. The reflection is not on the hostesses, that they ' want to turn their table into a bar. The reflection is on the guests. After several drinks their taste for food has deteriorated, so have their eating manners. There is no telling how offensive her drinking guests niay be to the sensitive hostess, This is the risk she takes if she serves cocktails. (Advt.)

The market- ing•s will all take place at the same plant and the carcasses will be grad ed and scored, All animals will re- main property of the breeder until marketed, and he will receive the gross returns from the sale of each calf less the cost of feed col -summa by the animals during the test. When all calves in the group have been marketed, a complete report of their performance during the test period will be forwarded to the breeder. This will include the number of days on feed, the gain in weight per day, the amount and cost of the feed consumed, and the cost of feed Per pound of gain. In addition, the grade and score of the carcasses will be covered. From this data the breeder willbe able to see whether or not he is getting animals that give him good beef economically.
