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, ; Want and For Sale Ads, 3 titres 50o
