Prof. L. Caesar, r P
rov
tu
cta1 entomol-
ogist, when addressing the Niagara
R'.
Fruit Growers' Asso'ciation._ recently.
Reviewing the history of this pest,
Prof, Caesar declared' it to be, the
Worst, menace to the fruit trees that
Ontario has ever known. Lts revival
was first noticed in 1929 after an abe
settee of a dozen years from' Niagara
orchard's. Since then the scale has✓ia-
creased tremen'd'ously, and he 'eared
that the mild weather conditions this
winter would result in its return next
season to a very large extent. E'ffec
live spraying of all trees with lubri- ,
eating oil, using 4 per cent., was urg-
ed by Professor Caesar.
'Late Corn and Fertilizers '
Many fanners are talking late .plant-
ing of corn this year and fertilizing
in an attempt to control the corn bor-
er. In this connection, O.A.C. officials ,
conducted a test in Essex County,
planting corn at three different dates,
a week apart. Suitable fertilizer was
applied at 200 pounds per acre. The.
fertilizer increased the yield of ears
700 pounds per acre in the earliest
planting, and 715 pound's per acre in
the latest plan't'ing. (date planting l+1�
meant al -anger per cent of immature
ears at harvest in all cases; but frgm:
the plots planted last there was 313
per cent less soft ears in, the, fertilized
area bhan theme wars in the unfertilized.
The gain of fertilized corn over un-
fertilized had not only been main-
tained but had increased where the •
corn was planted latest, and had been
fertilized. This was in addition 'too
barn yard manure. Good soil prepar-
ation, good seed and proper cultiva-
tion must be provided if best results
are to be attained.
About, Threshing
Of all reports submitted at the re..
cent leth annual convention of the
Ontario Brotherhood of Thies ermen;
one of the Most interesting was that
of W. 'G. Michael, Dominion Seed
Branch, H'aeriston. This report cov-
ered a stttivey of Western Ontario
threshing mills, which- he ma -de last
autumn.
'Mr. Michlael pointed out that light
grain, and price of cutting, made 19311.
a difficult year.
IFureher, he found that most of the
common makes of threshing mills
were efficient providing they were in
a good state of repair and adjusted
properly. The survey revealed, how-
ever, that the weed screen in the shoe
of 'r most mills was entirely inadequate,
the usual width of this screen being
only 12 .to 15 in'c'hes, and in . some
cases the screen was either plugged
up or covered with- a board. As bhere
is plenty of room in the shoe of all
sills fora screen alt least ` four feet
wide, Mr. Michael recommends that '
a screen from three to four feet wide
be .evade standard equipment in all
new mills and that this- screen' be
equipped with travelling b'rus'hes to
keep it clean.
A second weed screen in the deck
just behind the cylinder was also re-
commended. This screen would
catch
most of the light w
t e
g ed seeds
such as sow thistle which ordinarily
go out with the straw.
'Other observations made in the sur.
vey were th'at 10 per cent. of the Clare-
shennen were careless, inexperienced'
aunt inefficiat and that the work done
by this group was uniformly poor.
Some farmers in their anxiety to get
the -threshing over in a hurry would.
not give th;e thresher time to adjust
his mill or clean it properly and in
some cases he was not allo-wed to put
on enough wind to clean the grain
properly, These ,cases were, however,
bhe exception rather than the rule
Grain -and weed a'creens -in some
cases did n'ot receilve enough care.
Some mills were too large for Ontario
conditions.
Sone tractors were too
small to keep up steady speed, all of
wh'ich resulted- in poorly 'cleaned
grain, ;
