Sweet Cldver as Manure
During recent years many farmers
have been growing sweet clover in
rotation with potatoes; A full crop
of sweet clover plowed under nay be
considered worth as much as 25 to
30 tons of barnyard manure. 1W'here
farmers leave plenty of matinee av'ail-
able it may' not be desirable to grow
sweet c'lo'ver for the purpose of paw-
ing it down, but Where the manure
supply is limited it has been profit-
able to folIow the above plan of action
The most essential precautions to be
observed in growing sweet clover, are
to make sure that the soil is not acid,,
that it is well enough drained to pre-
vent heaving and that the seed is in-
oculated.

Fine Crop Prospects
Reports from district representat-
ives reveal that practically all faun
crops, with the exception of straw-
berries, which are expected to be
below average yield, give promise of
good returns. Warm weather and
frequent showers have brought along
sprang grains wonder'fu'lly, 'Pasture
has made good headway, which is
most fortunate as feed supplies are
beginning to run low, I•t is almost
certain that the acreage of both
spring grains and new alfalfa, clovers
and grases will, be much greater than
for some years past. This increase,
together with the -absence of winter
killing, indicates a large crop of
home-grown feed next fall. to de-
crease in milk shipments to cheese
factories is noticeable, ,due largely to
low prices being offered for ,cheese.
`While too early to make any defin-
ite prediction regarding fruit pros
puts, P. W. Hodgetts, director of
the Fruit Branch, states that every-
thing so far is favorable. All classes
of fruit carne through the winter in
excellent. shape and there has been a
wonderful showing of blossom. With
continued seasonable weather, a big
yield may be expected of apples.
peaches, cherries, plums and other
fruit.
Minister's Report
The report of Hon. Thomas L.
Kennedy. Minister of Agriculture, for
the year ending October 31st, shows
ata glance the many and varied ac-
tivities being carried out under the
different departmental branches, in-
cluding the work done at O. ,A. C. and
the various experimental farms
throughout the .province. 'Any farmer
w -ho doubts that the Departmentis
accomplishingvaluable work should
obtain a copy of this report.
Trap The Borer
The suggestion has been advanced
that a trap crop of corn consisting
of about half a dozen rows of early
sown rapid grooving corn, it put in
as early ae the ground is fit. will in
most years lessen the amount of
injury done the main cop by corn
borers, if the nsain crop is sown a
few- day; later than the ideal date.
The . trap crop should be cut low
about the end of the first week in
August, when all borer eggs have
beenla d and should be removed and
fed to live stack.

Not That Way Now ?
A dapper little man in a group in
front of the hotel 'was telling the
others he could tell from a man's
looks what part of the county he
came from. 'You, for example,” he
said to the man next him, "you're
from Seaforth?” He was right.
Turning to the man on the other
sideof him—"You, I should say, are
from down Exeter way " Again he
was right.
The other two now became inter-
ested.
"Anel you are from Windham " he
asked the third man,
Yes, I'm from \\'ingham all right,"
was the reply.
'And von from Clinton, I should
say?" to the last 'man.
\o. sr, answered the man with
considerable warmth. "I've been
sick or six weeks; that's what makes
me look like this." •
South Huron Crops.
The wheat has come tl'reuglt the -
winter In perfect 'condition on the
whole, being a little damaged by
sprig frosts. Clover looks well also.
Growth of pasture was slow up to the
first week in May. Stock is scarce,
so 'many, farms having been seeded
to grass on account of the scarcity of
skilled farm labor. 'There has been
5 cents and over 'paid for grass cat-
tle in this section this year. The ac-
reage in spring 'crops is gradually
growing less, but the grain sawn has
gone .n, in good condition. A less
acreage will be sown this year in this
neighborhood in sugar beets. .Less
silage is also grown, and there will
be fewer roots generally. Very few
stall -fed cattle on halite feeders find-
ing that branch unprofitable. Hags
are rather scarce. Horses seal well.
Many farmer, sell the best: not a
prudent course :to follow. Tinaatl7)'
sell, at $6 pressed; there is !ess
grown than formerly.
