SPRING WHEAT HELPS Being the Second of a Series of Five Articles Specially Written by G. Bell, Agronomist. Many farmers are just now bus- ily planning crop rotations and the definite areas of the definite crops which they purpose growing next summer. Not a few are consider- ing the question of , spring wheat. Many of those who have not gown this crop are studying the. chances for possible returns, for money invested in It. Those who have already grown acreages of spring wheat are interest- ed in any suggestions as to how the yield per sere can be increased, es- pecially Se under the present enor- mously increased demand for food cer- eals. Food must be produced in greater quantities in 1917 if severe slPurtega is not to be felt by a large percent of society. There is no guess tion about it. The London Statist, in a recent issue declares that on ac- count of a shortage of feed, there is an under -supply of over a million pigs in the sties of Englund, resulting in scarcity and dearness of pork, bacon, harp and sausages. Even Ontario's figures show a relative shortage in the production of meat animals over years gone by. The shortage of food of every and all kinds must be felt, and everything that can be done to spur up the acreage 'yields of the food cereals will accomplish just that much to help solve the great and general problem of food shortage. Ontario, with over 14,500,000 acres of cleared, cultivatable land, has an acreage of a little less than 119,000 acres of spring wheat. This is not one acre per farm. The yield of spring wheat over the whole province, varies between 18 and 19 bushels per acre. Now, there is reason to be- lieve that with a little expenditure of labor, and with a little carefulplan- ning, it would be possible to consid- erably increase the acreage of spring wheat to the substantial profit of the burner, and to the benefit of the in- habitants of this province, and to the whole Dominion, The following few suggestions are offered : (1) Get seed of a good variety, and then sow good quality seed. Possibly no one in Ontario has a better specific knowledge of relative varieties suit- able for growing under Ontario con- ditions than Prof. C. A. Zavitz of On- tario Agricultural College. Prof. Zavitz, after testing a number of var- ieties for a number of years at Gnelph, and after having members of the Ontario Agricultural & Experi- mental Union test 24 varieties of ' Constipation -- the lane of old age is notto be cured by harsh purga- tives; they rather aggravate the trouble.

L. IIALl>, 1'; op) actor, spring wheat throughout the province of Ontario, comes out in favor of -two varieties; first, Marquis, and second, Wild Goose. When Marquis wheat was tested out in 24 places in the province, it was found to yield a little less than 20 bushels per acre under actual farm tests. This variety was produced some years ago by Dr. Saunders sof the Dominion Experimental Farms, Ottawa. It is a comparatively short - Kasen variety and produces grata of high -milling quality. Altogether it has proven one of the most popular varieties throughout the province. Farmers who wish to locate iced of this variety will do well to write the Dominion experimental farms, Ot- tawa, and the Ontario Agricultural College, as well as to consult seed lists of well established seed compan- ies. In preparing the seed, the fanning mill should be used liberally, Iran out all the broken, light and diseased kernels and 1.350 none but good sound material for seed. Like tends to beget like in the plant kingdom just 'the same as in the animal kingdom. If you plant weak immature seed, you handicap the future of your crop just as much as if you select the calves of wreak immature cows, and expect to build up a good healthy dairy. (2). The next point in increasing wheat yields is to 'look after the plant - food supply. The soil is nature's great store -house. It is from this that most of our farm Drops get the foods which build up wheat, oats, bar. ley, corn, apples, potatoes and other plant products. In early spring, be- fore the temperature of the soil has increased to any appreciable height, the growth of thy microscopic Wain the soil, or bacteria, is very slow, and as a consequence not much soil mater- ial is broken down into such ferny that it will dissolve in the waters of the soil or the root Nices, and can be tak- en up into the plant. I1 is just at this time that 11 little available plant - food gives the tiny sprouting seed a vigorous start, making it possible for the resulting crop to reach out and make use of plant -food that to a weak- er crop would be unaveable. Two hundred Io three hundred pounds of a well balanced fertilizer has been know to increase wheat yields from 40 to GO%. Not only does it increase the total yield, but it materially improves the quality of the resulting wheat. Tho fc.rtili..ei should be of an analysis to u'e1-e up for the weaknesses of the soil, and to suTply a proper balance of plantfood most needed by the erop. For instance, for •a grain crop, the fertilizer should emphasize phosphoric a^id, as well as supply n fair amount of nitrogen, a_ ammonia, and potash. Necessarily, tender present conditions, tine supply of potash in fertilizers will be loin, yet experiments of many of North American experiment stations ,.,,.,.� THE PRIVATION IN GERMANY REACHES UNEXAMPLED DEGREE $0 Per Cent. of Population in 'Large Towns Suffering Fro�►a Disease Cattsetl by Inordinate Eating of Jam.

This report, published in the German prose, obviously slid not' magnify the seriousness of the situa- tion, The Telegraaf's correspondent says 60 per cent, of the population in the large towns are suffering from cramp in the stomach and jam disease, which reveals itself by a skin eruption, Clue to the large quantity of jam con- sumed in default of other food, arable humidity in the atmosphere, If the crop has been given a good, vigor- ous start, and the season is at all normal, 'it will be past the flowering stage by the middle of Juno; in fact the kernels of wheat will be pretty well''' i'nied so that the ravages of an attack of rust will not leave nearly so serious results on the crop as on a crop that has not had the early start and is not so vigorous, This is found to be the case on such crops as cab- bages, tobacco, sugar beets, and the like. For a study of the climatic and soil conditions of Ontario, it should be pos- sible to produce good crops of spring wheat well up into New Onttu'io. When we consider that this crop does not take any attention through the growing period, and that a bushel and a half of seed on well prepared hind should give an abundant seeding, it seems quite logical to advocate the wider' sowing of this valuable cereal in the spring of 1011. Wheat prices itrc bound to be high and for a long time food products will be scarce. It is therefore to the financial advantage of every farmer who can spare a few acres for spring wheat, to give the ground thorough preparation, supply an abundance of suitable balanced plantfood, and get first-class seed of 9 seitable variety. - '1°4 neer iteleaf Castrate all inferior or grade buck lambs early.

A despatch from London says :--- The Food Ministry has issued a public appeal to the nation to limit the con- sumption of bread to four pounds, of meat to two and a half pounds and of sugar to three-quarters of a pound weekly per head. The Food Controller says that after consideration of available stocks and the probable need of future supplies the situation requires that heads of families should endeavor to limit household consumption to this basis. He adds that these items will natural- ly be supplemented by other' food pro- ducts, but that the effect of the sug- gested restriction will reveal itself through the returns available to the Food Controller and that the nation is placed upon its honor to observe the proposed conditions. "Only thu€s," the Food Controller adds, "can the actual situation be ade- quately met and the urgency of the situation admits of no delay in inform- ing the country what is demanded of it. Compulsory rationing involves elaborate machinery and ought to be avoided as long as possible. Mean- while to meet the contingency that re- tiorting •may become necessary, the needful machinery for it is being or- ganized so that it may be ready if needed.'
